Chapter 167 Preliminary Conception
After unloading a thousand saplings, the flatbed truck at the seedling base returned the same way, and will still deliver a thousand saplings on time tomorrow morning.Liuzijie ordered [-] saplings at once, almost clearing the backlog of planting saplings for more than two years, and it should serve home.

Before planting, Liu Xiaonan introduced Sha Wanli to everyone and asked him to give on-site guidance.The reason why Liu Xiaonan brought Sha Wanli to Liuzi Street was because he wanted him to take this opportunity to teach everyone some of the daily management experience of Big Cherry.

After Sha Wanli explained some precautions when planting, everyone started planting in the way of mutual assistance, some people sent out people, and those with cars sent out cars.Those who planted trees, cultivated soil, and watered each had their own division of labor. Guan Deyu accompanied Sha Wanli to give on-site guidance.

Guan Deyu organized it very well.Among more than a dozen planters, there are as few as two or three hundred trees, and as many as five or six hundred trees. Each family works alone, and no one can guarantee that all of them will be planted in a short period of time, which will inevitably affect the survival rate of the big cherry saplings.

It's better to concentrate manpower and material resources, and start planting from the bottom of the hillside upwards, and it's who's turn it is.The saplings to be planted were carefully selected by Liu Xiaonan and Sha Wanli, there was no distinction between big and small, so there was no need to pick and choose.

More than a dozen families planting big cherries together is a collective act in itself, no matter how big or small, they must be twisted together.Liu Xiaonan ran around for everyone's affairs, what did he plan?
Liu Qishun's parents are sick, when will he be able to plant [-] saplings by himself?Everyone has to help each other and get rich together.

Guan Deyu's call has been understood and supported by everyone. We live in the same village. Who can help if they have difficulties?Don't care about it.

Liu Xiaonan also participated in the planting process, planting trees with several sister-in-laws, joking while working, making them laugh constantly.

Just then, Song Ge called and asked where he was.He said that he was planting trees with a group of old women on the hillside of Liuzi Street in his hometown.

Song Ge laughed heartily on the phone.She is obviously a cultural person, but she speaks the common language without using accents, which she especially admires.

The sister-in-laws also burst out laughing, no matter who Liu Xiaonan was calling, Song Ge could hear them clearly on the phone.

Liu Xiaonan dodged the stones thrown at him by his sister-in-laws while asking Song Ge what's the matter.Song Ge said nothing was wrong and hung up the phone.

The sisters-in-law asked him who called, and they all smiled.He said it was the female reporter who had been to Liuzi Street before, and the sister-in-laws had a happy topic again.

Liu Xiaonan was more than enough to deal with the scolding and jokes of his sister-in-laws, but he couldn't deal with Song Ge alone.They have been dating for almost half a year, and the relationship between the two has heated up rapidly. It has been upgraded from an extremely ordinary relationship between seniors and juniors who barely get along to friends who talk about everything.

Song Ge is thoughtful and energetic, quick thinking and full of sense of justice. He can often change his mind, bring him novel ideas and valuable information, and inject fresh blood.

The only thing that gave him a headache was that Song Ge had always wanted to dig out more from him, and she was interested in all aspects of family business.This seems to deviate from the scope of being an economic reporter, so he often talks about Meng Xiangxiang and uses Meng Xiangxiang as his shield.

At noon, everyone went down to have lunch, and Liu Qishun took the initiative to stay and guard the tools and saplings for everyone.Liu Xiaonan left her car on the mountain, gave Liu Qishun a place to rest, and walked down the mountain with Guan Deyusha Wanli.

Liu Zhixin went home early to prepare lunch, entertained Sha Wanli, and invited Guan Deyu to come to the house for dinner to discuss the later management of the cherry orchard.

Walking on the mountain road on the back hillside, you can see the whole picture of Liuzi Street.Sha Wanli said to Guan Deyu: "It's a good place with mountains and water."

Guan Deyu said: "Because food and clothing are easy to solve, people are lazy and content with the status quo, and are still far from real prosperity. In the past, it took a lot of effort to promote vegetable greenhouses before only a few companies responded. If Xiaonan hadn't taken the lead this time, it would be difficult to promote the cultivation of big cherries."

Sha Wanli said: "If this large mountainous area is planted with big cherries, there will be hope for prosperity."

Guan Deyu said: "Many people are waiting and watching, and they will only follow suit when they see that others have achieved real benefits."

Liu Xiaonan said: "Uncle San, I have a suggestion. We need to have a long-term plan. If the planting of big cherries can be promoted on a large scale, it will definitely attract foreign businessmen to come and purchase them intensively. By then, if Liuzi Street can be built into a big The cherry planting base and fruit wholesale distribution center can not only drive more farmers out of poverty, but also make Liuzi Street a famous brand."

Guan Deyu praised: "You are young after all, with active thinking and far-reaching thinking. Right now, let's do a good job in this experimental field, and then follow your idea step by step."

Back home, just about to sit down for lunch, Song Ge called again.Song Ge called on the phone: "I'm outside your gate, come out and greet me."

Liu Xiaonan didn't know if it was true or not, so she walked out of the house and saw that there was a car parked outside the courtyard, and Song Ge was standing beside the car with a smile on her face.

He quickly walked out of the courtyard to greet him, held Song Ge's hand and said, "Reporter Song, are you here on business in Liuzi Street?"

Asked knowingly, and deliberately asked a nonsense.Liu Xiaonan knew very well in her heart that the little girl drove for more than three hours from Longwangtang to Liuzi Street, and she was coming for him, so who else.

Sure enough, Song Ge said solemnly: "I'll come and see the senior, and plant trees with a bunch of old girls."

Liu Xiaonan said: "It's better to come early than coincidentally. Let's have lunch together at home."

Liu Xiaonan brought Song Ge into the house, and apart from her parents, the other two people didn't need much introduction.Song Ge often goes to the Aizhiyuan Farm in Longwangtang, so he is naturally familiar with Sha Wanli.The new school building of Liuzi Street Primary School was completed and the ribbon was cut. Song Ge came to interview and had a lot of dealings with Guan Deyu.

Liu Zhixin cooked a table of good dishes, and entertained the guests with the rice wine she brewed and sealed in winter.Liu Xiaonan said to Song Ge: "You have to drive back in the afternoon, don't drink, I like to drink rice wine and bring you some home. You should try the farm food made by my father."

Song Ge said: "I'm not planning to go back in the afternoon. Since Big Brother Sha and Party Secretary Guan are at your house, it means that you are doing something big."

Liu Xiaonan said: "Being a reporter is sensitive. In fact, it's not a big deal. The village grows big cherries. I asked Brother Sha to be a consultant."

"It must be a big project to get rich together." Song Ge insisted: "I don't want to do a second interview like last time."

"That's good." Liu Xiaonan poured Song Ge a glass of rice wine and said, "Since you want to stay, let me give you some advice. If you have a sense of responsibility, don't keep your eyes on successful entrepreneurs and big bosses, you should do more. Pay attention to people's livelihood. How do laid-off workers seek to survive, and how do farmers who rely on the sky work hard with little income."

Song Ge said: "I stayed here because I wanted to know more about what farmers think and think, about rural grassroots cadres like Guan Zhishu, their daily work and the difficulties they encountered."

Guan Deyu said: "Reporter Song, you are still the same as Xiaonan. Call me Third Uncle. You are really ashamed to call me the village party secretary."

Liu Zhixin said: "Everyone who enters the house is a guest, girl, try my handicrafts, let's chat while eating."

After lunch, they took a short rest, and everyone went up the mountain together, and Liu Xiaonan brought food for Liu Qi in a lunch box.Because of the presence of reporters, everyone was more motivated, and Sha Wanli became a mutual friend of the men, asking about the daily management of Big Cherry while working.

Song Ge's affinity is also very strong, and he soon got along with a group of women, chatting and laughing.

After planting a thousand big cherry saplings, everyone finished their work and went down the mountain.Guan Deyu looked at the neat rows of big cherry saplings, looked forward to the prospect and said to Liu Xiaonan: "You have less than a thousand cherry trees, and you will have such a high income. There are five thousand big cherries on this side of the hillside. After three or four years, I can hardly imagine how much income it will bring to everyone.”

Liu Xiaonan said: "These big cherries are all new varieties. They have big fruit, thick flesh, small pits, and high sweetness. They are sold at a higher price than ordinary big cherries. I have a few of them there. Only when I have absolute certainty can I dare to introduce them in large quantities. Come to the village."

Sha Wanli said in the tone of an expert: "It won't take three or four years, and after two years, many people will be driven to plant big cherries."

Song Ge said: "This is the first time I have dealt with farmers face to face. I have a lot of feelings. Getting rich is not as easy as I imagined. When this cherry orchard brings income to the villagers, I will write a special report for free for Liuzi Street. advertising for big cherries."

Liu Xiaonan said: "This is a good reporter who serves the people."

Song Ge said: "I have always been a good reporter."

The idea of ​​building Liuzi Street into a big cherry planting base and a fruit wholesale distribution center gradually matured in my mind.Liu Xiaonan drove down the mountain and invited Guan Deyu to have dinner at home to explore more feasible solutions, which also required the strong support of the local government departments.

After dinner, Liu Xiaonan officially put forward her bold idea, which aroused Guan Deyu's great enthusiasm.He said that after planting the cherry saplings, he immediately sent a report to the village to apply for policy and financial support.

Everything is ready, but the east wind is the only thing. If these [-] big cherry trees can bring real income to the villagers, the planting area will be further expanded, and Liu Xiaonan's idea will gradually come true.

As a bystander, Song Ge showed great interest and gave many substantive suggestions.The preliminary plan is gradually improved, and the blueprint is gradually clear, and it is only time to implement verification.

Liu Xiaonan took out two books and handed them to Liu Zhixin, namely the cultivation techniques of river crabs and the cultivation techniques of big cherries.He said: "Dad, you are over 60 years old, and my mother's health is not very good. Rent those acres of river beach and vegetable greenhouses to others. As a retired worker and transformed into a farmer, you are successful. Why don't you go back to the farmer?" Learn new techniques."

Liu Zhixin took the book his son gave him, flipped through it and said, "Okay, I'll learn as much as I can, and I'm also very interested in your plan."

Guan Deyu smiled from the side: "Brother, Xiao Nan is assigning you a new task. This is to ask the two of you to join the battle. While our old brothers are still in good health, let's do big things for Liuzi Street together."

How could Liu Zhixin not know that what his son did was a big deal?If the son's idea is realized, it will be far more effective than him leading everyone to scientifically farm and build vegetable greenhouses.

He has retired from the mine for ten years, and he has witnessed how his son has achieved success step by step. He is proud and gratified.Now that the son has come back to do practical things for Liuzi Street, how can he not support him as a father?
Liu Zhixin said to Sha Wanli: "You are an expert in planting fruit trees, if there is something you don't understand, I will call you for advice."

Sha Wanli said: "Uncle, I am not educated, I have to figure it out on my own. Uncle is educated, maybe I will have to ask you for advice in the future."

After a tiring day, if you don't have time to watch TV, you have to take a rest early to welcome tomorrow's hard work.

After Guan Deyu went back, Jiang Changling said to Liu Xiaonan with a cold face, "I've heated up the kang in your room. You settle down the reporter girl, and come and sleep in the back room with your Brother Sha. After a long day, don't talk endlessly. Let the girl reporter rest early."

Liu Xiaonan led Song Ge to her two rooms and asked Song Ge, "Do you sleep on a bed or on a kang?"

Song Ge looked around the two rooms with a special layout, and said happily: "It's so strange! I've never slept on a kang, so I'll try it tonight."

Liu Xiaonan took out a new set of bedding from the closet, spread it on the kang and said, "The suite inside is the bathroom, so you don't have to go out at night."

Song Ge said with a smile: "According to what your mother said, it seems to doubt our relationship. She was still very warm to me at noon, but at night this attitude took a 180-degree turn, as if we were already planning to sleep in the same room. of."

Liu Xiaonan took out another pillow from the closet, put it away and covered it with a pillow towel, raised her head and said, "There are more cruel ones. Before I married your senior sister, my father told me that if I do something wrong, I'm sorry for you." He will break my legs about my sister's affairs. Now you know the status of your senior sister in my parents' heart."

The so-called senior sister, of course, refers to Meng Xiangxiang.Liu Xiaonan thanked her mother for clarifying everything and saving herself a lot of trouble.

Song Ge didn't care about this. He sat on the edge of the kang, dangling his long legs and said, "As long as you don't drive me away, I plan to stay at your house for a few more days. Your idea has a bright future, and I think it will last forever. They are all participants as a witness. Your father is a mystery, Uncle Guan Deyu is a mystery, Liuzi Street is a mystery, and I have a lot to dig out."

Is it self-indulgent?So much the better.Liu Xiaonan turned on the TV for Song Ge and said, "My father's habit is to go to bed early and get up early, and I have to follow his routine. This day is really tiring. You can watch TV by yourself, and go to bed early when you are sleepy."

"It's only past eight o'clock. You really obey your mother and don't say a few more words with me?"

"Now go out and look in the village. How many houses are still lit? Even if there are lights on, there are students doing homework at home. Rural people work hard all year round and have little time for entertainment. In the city, the lights are just beginning to come on at this time, and the nightlife has just begun. After a day of farm work, I am so tired that the dog chases the rabbit and pants, day after day, all life is spared."

Song Ge couldn't help laughing and said, "Senior's language is unique. According to you, it seems that there is no need to implement family planning in rural areas."

Liu Xiaonan said: "If you stay on the mountain tomorrow and you don't need to work, I can guarantee that you won't even bother to talk at night."

Song Ge laughed enough before saying: "Senior, go to rest, it will be embarrassing when your mother calls."

When Liu Xiaonan walked out of the room, he closed the door for Song Ge.Song Ge took out a notepad and recorded Liu Xiaonan's idea and the feelings of the past half day.
