Chapter 122: Giving New Year’s Gifts to the Elderly (please recommend)

Facing Zhu Jinghao and others who chose to stay at the farm to celebrate the New Year, Zhao Zhicheng and others still chose to go home to celebrate the New Year. This year, they finally no longer have to rush back to their hometown just before the New Year like last year. Instead, they can go back a few days in advance.

After working away from home for a year, they naturally missed their families.Even if I know that there will inevitably be some trivial things after I go back.But in life, how can everything go as planned? Just be open-minded about everything.

After this year's hard work in the border trade business, Zhao Zhicheng and others' horizons have also broadened a lot.As Mu Shanhe said, if you find it difficult to get along with your neighbors, just find a new home and get to know a new group of people.

With their current income, buying a new home is not a problem.Keep making friends with those you can make friends with, and break off the friends you feel you don’t need to make friends with.Anyway, from now on, they will rarely go back home once a year.

Even if they live on a farm, the accommodation conditions provided by Mushanhe are actually much better than at home.TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and other household appliances are now available on farms.But how many ordinary people in China can afford these?
After sending away those who decided to go home, Zhu Jinghao and others who stayed on the farm actually didn't have much to do every year.Taking advantage of the time at the end of the year, Mu Shanhe also decided to catch some fish and give them to those related households in need.

Even though he didn't give anything away, those related households didn't dare to cause trouble for him.But Mu Shanhe felt that the relationship that should be maintained still needed to be maintained.After all, the farm was built here, and it also contracted such a large area of ​​​​mountain forest, so it would be inevitable to deal with it in the future.

I don't usually burn incense, but I worship the Buddha's feet temporarily. I really need help from someone, but I'm afraid I can't find anyone!

Looking at the dug ice hole, Sun Xuan also smiled and said: "Young Master Mu, can you really catch fish like this?"

"Nonsense! Haven't you heard about winter fishing? Although our net is a bit small, we can catch some fish for gifts and meals, so it's no problem. I don't plan to sell the fish in our reservoir for the time being. I'll raise it for a few years first. Bar!"

"That's true! This little money is worth it!"

Mu Shanhe, who was teased, didn't take it seriously and directed Sun Xuan and others to set up a net.When a circle of netting was finished, Mu Shanhe also said in time: "Brother Xuan, it's your turn to contribute, hurry up and take charge of the Internet cafe!"

"Good! I hope this net can catch more fish. In this weather, a fish stewed in the pot will taste better with rice!"

Although when they were in the border town, they ate very well.But after returning to the farm, Sun Xuan and others still felt that the food on the farm was more delicious.Especially the rice grown on the farm, the more they eat it, the more delicious it becomes.

Only now did they truly understand that the farming methods practiced by Mushanhe could indeed grow better quality and more delicious rice.Even if the output is a little lower, it tastes delicious, and they don't care.

As Sun Xuan and others said, Mu Shanhe, as a farmer, does not make money by growing food anyway!

Mu Shanhe, who was standing by the mouth of the net, saw the big-headed fish that was pulled out of the water first. It weighed at least ten kilograms. He immediately smiled and said: "In the evening, the fish head will be stewed with vermicelli, plus a steamed fish head with chopped pepper."

"Okay! Mr. Mu, I'll cook it myself. When it comes to cooking, you are better."

"Okay! Since you think my craftsmanship is good, I will also be responsible for the New Year's Eve dinner, and you can just eat it."

"Then we can wait to eat!"

It was clear that Mu Shanhe was very easy-going in private, and it was okay to laugh and curse.Most of those who choose to stay on the farm to celebrate the New Year feel that going home is too depressing, and feel that staying on the farm will lead to a more relaxed and happy life.

Seeing the fish being pulled out of the water one after another, Mushanhe threw some fish that did not meet the weight limit directly back to the reservoir through the hole.Select only those fish that meet the weight limit, untie them and throw them aside. Anyway, these live fish will be frozen solid after a while.Originally, he thought that he might have to pull a few more nets, but when he saw the fish picked out in the last net, Mu Shanhe was very happy and said: "It seems that there are more fish in the reservoir than we thought. These big heads and Aohua It must have been left over from before.”

"It should be! The fish we released before lasted only about a year, and they would definitely not grow this big."

"Not bad! Apart from the carp, let's pick out some delicious food and throw it all into the snow. There are still a few days until the Chinese New Year. These fish can also be used to cook food, saving money on buying food. This fishing, It’s definitely more enjoyable than fishing.”

"That's for sure! However, you can only catch big fish with a net, but you can't catch small fish at all. You still have to rely on fishing."

Sun Xuan and others, who know that Mushanhe likes fishing, can often eat fish caught in Mushanhe.Basically, you catch some small miscellaneous fish. If there are more fish, you can fry a plate of them. The taste is no worse than eating big fish.

Although livestock are raised in the reservoir, some grass is occasionally thrown in.Fish cultured in reservoirs never receive any feed.Although they grew a little slowly, Sun Xuan and others still felt that the fish in the reservoir tasted very fresh.

Some larger fish were left behind, and Mu Shanhe specially selected some fish that could be used as gifts.Compared with giving high-value things, he felt that giving these edible gifts would make those with connections feel more confident about accepting them.

If the New Year's gifts cannot be delivered in person, Mu Shanhe will entrust someone to deliver them before the end of the year.For example, Mu Youwang works in the county, He Yicheng and Hu Yong work in the city, and Qin Kaixuan and others work in the provincial capital.

Only those connections I made in the town would personally visit Mu Shanhe during the New Year.Seeing Mu Shanhe coming over, these people would happily say: "Xiao Mu, you are so polite, there is really no need to be like this."

"It's okay! These are all food, not very valuable, so you won't make mistakes. The fish are caught in the reservoir. The rice is grown on the farm. These dried mushrooms are also given to me by friends."

As for cigarettes and alcohol, Mu Shanhe did not send them.After a brief chat with the related party, he left in a hurry because he had to go somewhere else.Regarding his approach, all the people involved felt that this young man was reliable and knew how to do things.

When it was the police station's turn, in addition to delivering things individually to the two acquaintances, the frozen fish was more prepared.In this case, the fish delivered can be added directly to the restaurant.As for the forest farm, naturally we can't send too much.

After all, if a forest farm employee wants to eat a fish as an extra meal, it is not a small sum.But no matter what, the forest farm leaders were very happy to see Mu Shanhe coming to give New Year gifts again.

What was really surprising was driving back to Mushanhe in Xinmintun. In addition to giving a New Year's gift to the village chief Mu Xingfu alone, he even gave a New Year's gift to a 60-year-old man in the village after having lunch at his house.

A bag of rice, a bottle of oil and two carp, although not much, for the old people in the village, they are naturally grateful from the bottom of their hearts.But in Mu Shanhe's opinion, he learned this from his grandfather.

It is said that 'respecting the elderly and loving the young' is a glorious tradition. If you love the young, Mu Shanhe will not take it into consideration for the time being, but you can still respect the elderly.As long as the old people in the village recognize him, he will still be from the village whether he returns to the village or not.

On the other hand, the villagers in the village were surprised when they saw Mu Shanhe coming back to give New Year gifts to the elderly in the whole village and said, "What's going on with this kid? I'm afraid these rice, oil and fish will cost a lot of money." Bar?"

"It shouldn't cost much. The rice and fish are grown and raised on his farm, and the oil is bought. But no matter what, this guy is really kind. At least he treats the people in the village. They really have nothing to say. "

"Yes! Think about the other young people who moved out of the village. When they get outside, they still think about the old people in the village!"

In Mu Shanhe's view, since he has done this, he will continue it in the future.It doesn’t matter whether he is greedy for fame or fortune, or he is hypocritical.Anyway, doing good deeds is not a bad thing after all, so why should we care too much about the results?
