Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 13

The pace of time has gradually entered June, and Gupeng City is about to enter the rainy Huangmei season, ushering in the Grain of Grass solar term.

At this time of year, the weather in Gupeng is as fickle as anywhere else.The northeast wind and the south wind were blowing alternately. Under the combination of cold and heat, two rains gathered, one was light rain and the other was moderate rain.The rain brought a refreshing coolness, but after the rain, the air returned to dull and hot, and it felt like a heavy rain was coming at any time.

No matter what the weather is, Hu Tu will always come to the river when he wakes up. The willows by the river are already long and swaying in the hot and humid wind, and they are about to sway into the colorful after the rain.

At this time, the sun is scorching like fire, and the heat is lingering.The bright sunshine has come all the way from spring to midsummer, and it has changed from "warm" to "hot".The crops are luxuriant, the trees are luxuriant, the flowers are in full bloom, and the grass is green... It is like a long ink scroll with red flowers and leaves, stretching between the sky and the earth.

As the saying goes, "spring fights for the sun, summer fights for the time", "fighting for the time" is the best portrayal of this busy season.

At this time, when the seeds of barley and wheat have matured, it is very urgent to rush to harvest them.If the harvest is late, or if there is continuous rain, the wheat cannot be harvested in time, leading to problems such as lodging, grain falling, and germination on the ear, resulting in a reduction in production.Therefore, we must seize all favorable opportunities, rush to cut, rush to transport, rush to threshing, and ensure that the pellets are returned to the warehouse.

Of course, now that there are large machines such as combine harvesters, harvesting crops is much easier than before, and there is no need to suffer from threshers to thresh wheat at night.

After rushing to harvest, there is still a rush to plant. In Gupeng City, the season of ear seeding is also a busy season for sowing summer and autumn crops such as corn and soybeans.The growing season of these crops is limited. In order to ensure the harvest before the autumn frost, they need to be sown this morning in order to obtain a higher yield.

Therefore, at this time of year, every household in the countryside is busy. "The farmland is wet, and it is cold every year." Fan Chengda's poem describes the busy scene after the seedlings, which can be seen so far.

It is this busy scene that highlights the leisure of the Hu Tu family.

Hu Tu's family has no land.During a demolition eight years ago, Hu Tu's father, Yang Qinghe, who was still healthy at the time, made the decision. He took out all the fields of the family, including the house, and replaced it with the waste collection station.Originally, he wanted to use this land to build a factory and earn a lot of money, but before the plan started, he was admitted to the hospital.

"It's not a good thing to not have a field. It doesn't delay my work." Xu Suwan said with a smile, "Besides, the work in the field is too tiring. I also did those jobs when I was young. Now I feel tired when I think about it. It's better not to do it. "

"Yeah, it's the best way. You don't have to work hard in the hot weather, and you don't have to sweat in the fields." Hu Tu was as open-eyed as his mother, "What's more, our family earns no less money than others' farming. .When I have saved enough money in a few years, I will use this land to build a factory and fulfill my father's unfinished dream."

He hasn't decided what factory to build yet, but he just thinks about it from time to time, cheering for his own future and cheering.When you really have money and a good project, build a factory.

Xu Suwan hesitated for a long time, and finally asked the question that had been suppressed for a long time: "Hu Tu, you really decided not to take the college entrance examination? Don't you think it's a very inspirational spirit to focus on participation?"

At the same time, the Grain Grain Season is ushering in the college entrance examination, which determines the fate of many people. The time is scheduled for June 6, 7, and 8.

When he learned that his memory had been greatly improved, Hu Tu also thought about studying hard, preparing for the college entrance examination, entering university, and getting back on track.However, the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny.His memory had indeed improved, but the college entrance examination was less than half a month away, and with such a short amount of time to prepare, even if he really had a photographic memory, he would not be able to pass the college entrance examination.

"Mom, I want to go too, but can you see me?" Hu Tu sighed, "So, don't waste time. What's more, I have already participated once."

The reason why he didn't go to school and didn't take the college entrance examination was very complicated.Poor grades are the most important thing. Other factors such as taking care of the waste collection station business and frequent troubles at school have combined together to cause such a result.

No need to farm, no college entrance examination, and because of the busy farming season, there is not much work in the waste collection station, so Hu Tu still goes to the flower and bird market every morning when it does not rain.

In the flower and bird market, the flowers and birds are fragrant and beautiful, and the greenery is thick. The businessmen who buy and sell are not afraid of the scorching heat, sweating profusely in their hard work, and compose a picture of hard work and happiness.When it is so hot, those who set up stalls outside begin to envy those inside the house, who can enjoy the coolness of the air conditioner after hard work.

But among these people, Hu Tu was not included.Originally, he also hated the hot summer, but now there is a special existence in his body - Hu Xiaolian, and its body is a lotus platform belonging to plants, so it is reasonable, even natural, to like sunshine.

However, liking the sun is one thing, standing in it is another.

Because it is necessary to prevent the cracking of the nuclei when maintaining the nuclei. The most important point is sun protection. Sunlight or high-temperature direct sunlight for a long time will cause cracking. Therefore, although he likes the sun, he still has to stay in the original shadow.It's just that no matter how busy he is, he never sweats like others.

And Hutu's booth has a new product, which is a work carved out of red oil core.

The current number is 19, and it is increasing every day.There are two styles, simple hollow carving works and lotus platform works, the prices are 66 yuan and 55 yuan respectively.

After so many days of practice, he has greatly improved in both carving and fine handling.It can be said that his works are no worse than those that sell more than 100 pieces in the market, but they are not easy to sell.

It is not difficult to understand that Hutu is not yet well-known, there is no good market, and there are no good stalls, so the works produced can only be sold at a lower price.Even so, it was quite expensive for those customers in small towns.

If you want to string hollow carvings made of 8 red oil cores into a bracelet, even if you get a 400% discount and then add a fraction, it will cost more than [-] yuan. Although not everyone can afford it, but if you use it to buy nuclear carvings, those Customers have to think more about it.

Furthermore, not everyone understands nuclear carving, most of them are laymen.Seeing that Hu Tu was young, these people inevitably doubted his craftsmanship, thinking that he did not carve well, sold them expensively, and became a profiteer at a young age.They came here with prejudices. In their minds, it seems that young people like Hu Tu can produce works worth only 30 to [-] yuan.

And these people haggle like buying clothes, haggling half and half irrationally, and pointing out shortcomings that are unreasonable, which is really hard to deal with.Dealing with such a customer is more tiring than dealing with ten professionals. The main reason is that I am tired.

Now that he has done this job, even if he feels tired, Hu Tu still has to persevere.He practiced to greet every customer with a smile, and then send them away with a smile, whether the customer has spent with him or not.
