The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 217

Winter to spring.

It is already March in Yangchun.

The willow trees beside the pond are already covered with green ribbons, and the peach and apricot trees are in full bloom.

A group of ducks are swimming happily in the weir pond.

Uncle Zhu and his men are rowing a boat to put feed into the pond.

Fishes can be seen swimming in the clear pond water.

On the Yanzi slope, the planting team is also busy on the slope.

The lemons and dwarf pomelo planted last year have all survived, stretching their tender green branches hard in the spring breeze.

Flocks of chickens were running around in the orchard for food, and they were not afraid of people coming. The big rooster proudly walked past people with its head held high and its chest high.

The people in the planting group, some grandma and aunts in the village, and some little kids were weeding and digging wild vegetables with baskets, sickles and shovels.

Now is a good time to dig wild vegetables,
Fresh and plump wild vegetables thrive on hillsides, in orchards, on ridges and fields.

People in the city are rare these days.

The village received a call from Xinfeng Company, asking if there were any wild vegetables to provide?

There are wild vegetables, wow, there are a lot of them.

The villagers immediately dispatched.

In the past, who ate this? People in the village dug it up to feed pigs, and they didn’t eat it themselves, because they were short of oil and meat. If they ate wild vegetables, they would sleep until midnight, and their saliva would keep gushing up, making them uncomfortable. ah.

People in the city are not short of oil and meat, and they are tired of eating big fish and meat, so they want to eat wild vegetables for a change.

Use wild vegetables to make dumplings, fry cakes, boil them in cold salad, etc.
I heard that a little finger of wild vegetables sells for one yuan.

This is the most indispensable thing in the village at this time of year, and all kinds of wild vegetables emerge in endlessly.

Gray purse, shepherd's purse, wild onion, wild rapeseed, ox ear, dandelion, zheer root and so on.

So everyone ran to the orchard on the mountain, digging wild vegetables while weeding.

The weeds are vomited in the puddles on the mountain, and the wild vegetables are put in the baskets,

When it is full, it will be carried down the mountain, packed in a special plastic basket, weighed, labeled with the name and weight, and then waited for the car from the city to take it away.

Every evening, cars come to take these agricultural and sideline products into the city.Then the sales points in the city will repackage and pack them in special plastic bags. Someone will come to pick up the goods early the next morning. If you want to eat pure natural food like wild vegetables, you can't buy them if you don't make a reservation.

Aunt Li and Yao Ma also came to dig wild vegetables together.

Everyone greeted her.

"Aunt Li, why are you here? Isn't your house building a new house? Why don't you go and see?"

Aunt Li: "Which round will I worry about? The foundation has been selected, and professionals have been hired from design to construction. Even my old man can't get in the way, let alone get in. No, I have to come Dig some wild vegetables and go back and wrap some dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables to improve food."

"That's because Li Qiang of your family is capable and his wife is filial. You don't need to worry about it. This small western-style building will be built soon. You can just wait to enjoy the blessing."

"Hehe, yes, it's time for you to enjoy yourself forever."

Everyone said enviously.

It turned out that during the Spring Festival Li Qiang came back with his wife and children to celebrate the New Year.This was Gao Dongli's first visit to Qingfeng Village, looking at the Li family's thatched house, Gao Dongli suddenly lost her composure.

Although I was mentally prepared before coming here, I was still surprised to see this scene in front of me.

"Li Qiang, it's not that we don't have money, why don't we build a new house, my parents live in such a place, how can I feel so bad, you make me feel so bad.

Li Qiang: "It's okay, they've lived here for decades, and they're used to it. They're still reluctant."

"How about that, what will others say about my daughter-in-law?"

"It's not that our parents don't know what kind of person you are, don't care what others say?"

"No, we have to build a new house."

Gao Dongli's tone was firm.

Li Qiang: "I gave Dad 10 yuan to repair the house. But he invested the money in the kudzu plant and said he would build a new house after the kudzu plant made money."

"You, you, the money from the kudzu plant has to be invested, and the new house has to be repaired. This time, you listened to me right, don't wait for the kudzu plant to make a profit before repairing it. You see, this house is so old, I'm afraid it will fall into disrepair If there is a heavy rain and a strong wind, it will be destroyed. What if someone is hurt again? What will you do when the time comes? Besides, there are too many people in the family to live in. You see, brother-in-law and Liu Li are living here now. I have to come back often, if there is another relative or friend, there will be no place to live at all.”

"It makes sense."

Li Qiang nodded.

"It's me who didn't think well."

Gao Dongli: "Also. We all know that you made a fortune outside. If you don't fix the house, people will say that you forgot about your parents and Lao Tzu. You live in a small western-style building outside and let your parents and Lao Zi live in a straw shed.

"Well, yes."

"Also, let's build the small western-style building first, which can also stimulate other people in the village. Since you get rich first, you will take the lead. Everyone should roll up their sleeves and work hard for the sake of the small western-style building. Come on! Do you think that building a new house is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?"

Li Qiang: "It's still you women who are careful and thoughtful. My wife, I completely agree with your instructions. After the new year, I will find someone to repair the new house."

Gao Dongli: "To build the third floor, there is still a garage on the ground floor. We will come back often in the future. There must be a place to park the car and a beautiful garden..."

"Okay, okay..., if you have any requests, just ask."

"Go tell your parents and let them talk about their own ideas, mainly because they live here."

So after discussion, Li Fumin and Aunt Li also agreed to build a new house. They didn't care whether they could live in it, but they mainly cared about their son-in-law Liu Jianguo and grandson Liu Li.Another thing is to really take the lead for the villagers.

Li Qiang went to Xiao Guangwei and Wang Jinfa to discuss his plans and apply for approval of the foundation.

Wang Jinfa: "When your small western-style building is built, the villagers will be very jealous."

"I just want to stimulate everyone. There is pressure to be motivated."

Xiao Guangwei: "Well, you can have this, let everyone have a role model, a reference, and the pace will be faster."

Wang Jinfa: "Old Cousin Qiang, are you repairing at the original place or granting another foundation?"

Li Qiang: "I want to re-select the site for foundation repair. The original house is now occupied by people. Where will they live if it is demolished?
I think the new house will be built next to the village committee, next to the village committee, and close to the road. When the house is being repaired, the road from the road to the village committee will be turned into a concrete road by the way, and I will pay for it. "

"Yeah, that's great."

"After the new house is repaired, the old house will be used as a warehouse for the breeding farm and plantation farm. It can also expand the pigsty and raise more fat pigs."

"Hehe, it's a good plan."

So it was decided.

After the Spring Festival, after Li Qiang sent his wife and children back, he started to work on the new house. He found someone to design it, and found a construction team. Now the construction team has entered the site, the materials have been shipped, and the excavation has started.

Aunt Li stood on the Swallow Slope, looking at the construction site opposite with a smile. Soon there will be a small building erected there, which will be the first small building in Qingfeng Village.

She is not flattered in her heart.

The spring breeze is blowing, and people are refreshed on happy occasions.
