Salted Fish Dad, Passive Farming

Chapter 203 Celebrate the Lantern Festival, Dance the Dragon and the Lion, and Release the Wishing Lantern
Liu Fuyuan just wants to relieve his burden after serving as the village chief and live a comfortable and peaceful old age.

Maybe, like other old men, I can go to Jiran to do some simple things, earn some casually, and reduce the burden on my sons and daughters.

Anyway, let him be the locomotive of Jiran's company and lead the whole train, he never thought about it.

But when he heard Ji Ran bring it up, he resisted.

First of all, he thinks that he has a low level of education, no professional knowledge, no experience of the big world, and no ability;
Secondly, he felt that he was a young old man and did not have the energy.

As for the restoration of Xuanhuo in Jiangbian Village, in his opinion, with Ji Ran present and Ji Ran's willingness to contribute, everything will happen naturally.

He, just beat the side drums, wave the flag and shout to cheer.

Unexpectedly, Ji Ran wanted to make him...

A guy who is usually very principled, he just played a rogue.

"Ranzi, why are you doing this?"

A wry smile appeared on Liu Fuyuan's wrinkled old face.

Helpless to helpless, I was actually a little moved in my heart.

Ji Ran organized this agricultural company, rented out the wasteland in the village, bought agricultural machinery, developed it, planted it...

No matter how you invest up and down, it will cost tens of millions.

I just handed it over to him with confidence...

What a trust this is!

"I've said it all, you must be the locomotive."

Ji Ran smiled and said, "By the way, Uncle Fu Yuan, I forgot to tell you about the treatment... The monthly salary in the early stage, let's start with [-] yuan... The follow-up will look at the benefits... The benefits are good, and there will be dividends at the end of the year..."

"What, [-]? And dividends?"

Liu Fuyuan was taken aback.

Don't talk about whether Ji Ran's salary is good or not, just ask him where can he earn [-] yuan a month for such an old country guy with little real talent strictly speaking?

Earning [-] a year is about the same.

Liu Fuyuan shook his head again and again, "Of course you give too much."

"Whether it's too much or not, I know."

Ji Ran smiled indifferently, "Let's just make an agreement. From now on, your old man will be the boss of Youran Agriculture, and the monthly salary is tentatively set at [-]... Hehe, Mr. Liu..."

Regardless of whether Liu Fuyuan was happy or not, Ji Ran put the choice on his shoulders.

He absolutely believed in Liu Fuyuan.

They are all from the same village, and they know each other well. This old man's character must be flawless, and his attitude in doing things is also impeccable, not to mention his prestige in the village.

With these, it is enough!

He holds in his hand the second and third generations of systems produced by the system, and there is no doubt about the performance of the agricultural company.

"Come to Fuyuanbo, let's make a toast to build our beautiful homeland."

Ji Ran raised his glass.

"You guy."

Liu Fuyuan clinked glasses with him and complained with a smile.

As soon as the glass touched, he accepted Ji Ran's advice half-heartedly.

Then the two chatted about a bunch of things until late at night.

……

On the morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month.

Liu Fuyuan took action.

He found two old men in their early sixties.

These two old men gloriously became the first employees of Youran Agriculture.

Ji Ran handed over the personnel rights to Liu Fuyuan, and of course the conditions for recruiting were clearly explained to him.

"Heads of the households, Ranzi is going to measure the field, and you have to come over when you measure your field. Don't say that the measurement is too small for you."

Liu Fuyuan shouted from the village radio loudspeaker.

With these two old men, began to work.

In fact, when the village divides the fields in special years, there are data records on which mounds, which fields, and how big the area is.

However, in the past so many years, rain erosion and soil loss, these data are no longer realistic.

In addition, some fields were opened up by villagers, and there is no data at all.

Naturally, it has to be remeasured piece by piece.

The ninth day, the tenth day, the eleventh day, the twelfth day, the thirteenth day.

It took five full days, and Liu Fuyuan took the two old men to finally measure the fields in the village.

In the past five days, the construction of the road from the dam of Lingshan Reservoir to Youranju has resumed.

The construction of the gatehouse at the entrance of Jiangbian Village has also started.

Regarding Menfang, Ji Ran spent a long time shopping online and finally designed it himself...

The gates in many places look very grand, but in fact they look very tacky.

The gate designed by Ji Ran is solid and simple, yet still retains local characteristics.

these five days.

In addition to designing the gate and arranging the construction of the gate, Ji Ran also did a lot of things.

He transplanted the second generation of fragrant wheatgrass from 'Pure Land' into the enclosure.

More than four mu of land was enclosed within the fence, plus the original one behind the wooden house of Youranju, there were five mu of land.

At present, the second generation of Fragrant Wheatgrass occupies a total of one mu.

Ji Ran also transplanted the second generation of aloe vera.

Then in the 'pure land' sowed aloe seeds.

……

The fourteenth of the first lunar month.

Ji Ran's house was full of villagers.

What are you doing?

After the land has been measured and registered, it is time to rent the field.

Sign a contract to lease the land for ten years.

Pay rent, one payment per year.

Almost all the families in the village only keep the land in front of and behind their houses to grow some daily needed seasonal vegetables, corn, sweet potatoes and so on.

The other fields were leased to Ji Ran.

Busy until the afternoon.

The villagers who rented out their abandoned fields and wasteland and got the rent left happily one after another.

"However, the total land is one thousand, five hundred and fifty-five acres and one-third of an mu; the total land is two thousand, one hundred and sixty-two acres and eight-quarters."

Liu Fuyuan reported the statistics to Ji Ran.

"Uncle Fu Yuan, you have worked hard. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. You have to rest. Once the Lantern Festival is over, we will really start to get busy."

Ji Ran nodded with a smile, and three extra red envelopes appeared in his hands like magic, and they were stuffed into the hands of Liu Fuyuan and the other two old men respectively.

"This……"

The three of them held the red envelopes, feeling that there were a few big ones inside, and felt a little embarrassed.

Ji Ran smiled and said, "Festival fee, this is a benefit of our company, and it will be provided every year and festival in the future."

……

The fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival.

As a traditional festival, the theme of the Lantern Festival is also reunion.

Ji Ling is also back.

Today they are all on holiday.

I make glutinous rice balls at home in the morning, and after eating at noon
, Go out together.

Come to town and watch dragon and lion dances.

The local dragon and lion culture in Jiangxin is quite strong, and the dragons and lions in some villages began to come out for activities in the third and fourth grades of junior high school.

In the past, there were dragons and lions in Jiangbian village, and there was a special dragon and lion team, but those were all old Huangli.

In the tide of people running to the city, a small village is no longer qualified to have a dragon and lion team.

You can't even build a team, what qualifications do you have?
Lion and dragon dance is an out-and-out physical activity, not for old guys, but for young adults.

The young and middle-aged people either settled in the city, or went out to work in the first few days.

You form a dragon and lion team in a small village.

At present, only those large villages with a large population have dragon and lion teams.

By the fifth and sixth day of the new year, and further onwards, more and more dragons and lions will come out for activities, and they will become more and more active.

Until the fifteenth day, all the dragons and lions in the town were dispatched, and the activity reached its peak.

They usually wander around the villages in the morning, and gather in the town after eating at noon.

An afternoon of dancing on the town.

In the evening, all dragons and lions will be burned to ashes on the river beach.

Why burn it?

About Hualong - the local culture believes that the dragon comes from the sea and is in charge of the world to distribute rain and send it back to the sea. It is hoped that it can bless the local weather with good weather and a bumper harvest.

About Huashi—the local culture believes that the lion is a mascot sent from the sky, and it is sent back to the sky, hoping that it can keep everyone healthy and rich.

"Crackling, crackling, crackling..."

"Thump! Thump! Thump..."

On the main road along the river in Qingshui Town, vehicles detoured.

More than a dozen dragons and lions danced on the open road.

Dragon and lion dances, of course, cannot do without the entertainment of fireworks and firecrackers.

And these fireworks and firecrackers are not set off in an organized and funded manner, they are purely individual behaviors paid for by individuals.

Some people set off fireworks and firecrackers just to join in the fun.

And more people think that the more he ignites, the more he will be blessed by the Great Sea Dragon Lord and the mascot lion in the sky.

Every year on the fifteenth day, some local tyrants will use small trucks to pull fireworks and firecrackers to set off.

It's like you don't need money.

Amazing.

……

The Lantern Festival is the busiest day in the whole town every year, bar none.

The scene of the dragon and lion dance was crowded with people and it was very lively.

Among the people who have not left the town, quite a few have come to the town.

There are also a large number of small businesses and hawkers. Today is the best day to make money. How can they miss it?

Those who sell candied haws, those who roll marshmallows, those who draw sugar figures...etc.

The family found a place to park their two cars, and after getting off the car, Ji Ling went to buy some bunches of candied haws, one for each person.

If the elders don't eat it, Ji Ling and Douhua will have two skewers for each person.

The candied haws wrapped in maltose are sour and sweet, full of the taste of childhood.

The family walked towards the main road.

Didn't take a few steps...

"cumin!"

“Boss Cumin!”

Ji Ran's popularity in Qingshui Town has long been recognized without repeating it.

Then the family was surrounded by enthusiastic folks.

"Cumin, when will your 'Yueyue' recruit people? Many people in our village are waiting for news."

"Cumin, this is my sister-in-law, sister-in-law. When will you recruit people for 'Tong Yan Daily Hua'? My wife wants to work with you."

"Cumin, I heard that you have set up an agricultural company in your village and rented thousands of acres of land. I heard that the salary you give is several thousand a month. Do you still need people there?"

"Cumin, this is your super talented daughter, tsk tsk tsk, she is more than six years old and in the fifth grade, she really is a tiger father without a dog girl... Eldest niece, can I ask you, do you have any learning secrets?"

"cumin……"

Everyone's eyes were hot and eager, and they were all talking, buzzing and buzzing.

Ji Ran...

look around……

More and more people heard that he was coming, and gathered around him one after another.

Ji Ran suddenly felt dizzy.

I was careless and forgot to read the almanac when I went out... uh, I forgot to wear a mask when I went out.

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Ji Ran thought for a while and said loudly, "Fellow folks, my agricultural company currently has enough manpower in our Jiangbian Village... As for 'Yueyue' and 'Tongyan Daily Chemical' Recruitment matters...wait a minute..."

Ji Ran and Tong Yuanyuan and Ji Ling discussed in a low voice for a while, and then said, "Everyone can see the factory construction of 'Yuyue' and 'Tongyan Daily Chemical', and it won't be completed so quickly...but the recruitment can be done in advance..."

"the day after tomorrow!"

"Those who want to work at 'Yuyue' and 'Tongyan Daily Chemical' the day after tomorrow can come to the 'Cumin' company for an interview..."

"But even if you pass the interview, you have to wait until work starts before you can go to work and get paid..."

"During this period, everyone should do whatever they want, just go anyway."

Ji Ran's words excited the young people present.

"Okay, I'll go to the interview the day after tomorrow."

"I'll go as well."

"I'm going with my mother-in-law. I hope I can pass the interview so that I don't have to leave my hometown again."

"..."

The crowd did not disperse, but the crowd got thicker and thicker. What everyone was interested in was not only the recruiting of 'Tong Yan Daily Hua' and 'Yuyue'.

There is also Douhua’s learning method.

In the whole world, which parent doesn't want their child to become a top student?Do you take the certificate home for every issue?

"Cumin, share your parenting experience?"

"Cumin, tell everyone how you raised your daughter to be a super genius?"

"Daughter of Cumin, tell everyone about your study experience?"

"..."

Facing the endless stream of questions from the villagers, Douhua remained calm and silent.

Dad is here, so just leave it to him to answer.

Ji Ran pondered for a while, pretending to be aggressive.

"True genius, I think, is composed of 90.00% talent, 5.00% hard work, and 5.00% hard work!"

These words are indeed Ji Ran's views on geniuses.

As Edison once said, genius is equal to 99% sweat, plus 1% talent.

Edison wanted to tell people that hard work is more important than anything else.

But Ji Ran wants to tell people that the way of working hard is as important as hard work.

They can determine your lower limit.

But whether your upper limit is on the ground, in a tree, in the sky, in the galaxy, or in the universe depends on your talent.

Take a very simple analogy.

Douhua learns everything at once, and after a while, she can get started, and after a while, she can become very powerful...

If you change someone else, can she do it?
No talent, no matter how stupid the bird flies first, it is destined to only fly to that height.

Of course, Dou Hua's talent is too monstrous, it's unfair to compare an ordinary child with her.

……

After spending a lot of saliva, he casually broke up some things about how he raised his daughter, and finally sent away the surrounding villagers slowly.

Hurry back to the car, bring masks, and wear one each with your mother-in-law and daughter.

Separated from the elder Ji Ling.

I didn’t dare to squeeze into a crowded place, for fear of being recognized and surrounded by people again.

Drive to the other side of the river and watch from across the river.

evening.

When it was getting dark.

On the river beach, after the pseudo-Taoist priests finished their dojo with all their pretentiousness, a dozen dragons and a dozen lions spread out on the dry straw, and were poured with diesel...

Accompanied by the deafening sound of firecrackers and the explosion of fireworks...

The fire shot into the sky and lit up the entire river red.

Dragons and lions are exhausted.

Immediately, the wishing lamps carried the villagers' longing for a better life in the future, drifted away with the waves, and drifted into the distance.

"Girl, do you want to put a lamp and make a wish?"

Seeing that his daughter was fascinated by the thousands of rows of lights on the water, Ji Ran rubbed her head and asked.

"Don't let it go."

Douhua shook her head, "If making a wish is useful, how can there be so many poor people, so much injustice, and so much suffering in the world?"

This……

Ji Ran and Tong Yuanyuan couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words, the daughter's wisdom...
