I live in the countryside

Chapter 9 Qiao Ranran, you little rascal!

The next day, Qiao Churan got up early and rushed to help Chen Mei feed the chickens and pigs. When Qiao Zongming took the cattle to the field, Qiao Churan was looking for a straw hat to go out when he heard the dog in the yard barking sound.

A familiar voice came in: "Wangcai, Rhubarb, you don't even know me! You're still calling!"

When Qiao Churan heard it, she immediately recognized it was Fang Shanshan's voice.

She ran out in surprise, and she saw that Fang Shanshan had just entered the gate, and Rhubarb and Wangcai were circling around her.

Fang Shanshan is her little sister in the village. The two had been at the same table together in elementary school. Later, Fang Shanshan failed the college entrance examination and went to the health school to study for two years. Now she works as a nurse in the hospital in the town.

She probably heard that Qiao Churan was back, so she came to look for someone.

"Shanshan!" Qiao Churan was surprised and delighted, "Why are you here!"

The two haven't seen each other for a year, and their relationship has not diminished: "I heard from my mother last night that you are back, and you didn't tell me when you came back, you are so mean!"

Qiao Churan greeted her with a smile: "Don't you already know that? Besides, I just came back, and I plan to go to your house at night."

She happily brought Fang Shanshan into the house: "Come and sit at my house, you don't go to work today, isn't the hospital busy?"

"Hey, don't talk about it. What's the busy hospital in the town? I'm resting today. You really are getting more and more beautiful." Fang Shanshan circled around her good sister, couldn't help but marvel at her.

Ranran, this little girl, has thin skin and tender flesh, fair skin, and a pair of almond eyes are clear and energetic. She has always felt that Ranran is better-looking than many stars in TV dramas now, and she is not at all like a girl raised in the countryside.

But think about it, Ranran is good at reading, and people say that she has a poetry and book spirit in her belly.

Qiao Churan was speechless, but still smugly said: "That is, my sister is born with a beauty that cannot be abandoned."

Fang Shanshan laughed loudly: "You climbed the pole quite smoothly."

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had a lot to say. Qiao Churan took her back to her room and chirped about her recent situation. Then Fang Shanshan said, "Why did you come back suddenly? It's not a weekend or a holiday. Yes, there is still more than a month before Chinese New Year, what are you doing when you come back?"

"I quit my job and came back to take care of my mother. By the way, I was wondering if I could start a business at home!" Facing her good sister, Qiao Churan didn't hide anything.

"What!" Fang Shanshan was taken aback: "I can still understand that you come back to take care of your mother. What the hell is entrepreneurship?"

Qiao Churan said helplessly, "It's just... rural agriculture, a new type of agriculture."

Fang Shanshan looked at Qiao Churan like she was looking at a monster, raised her hand and touched the little sister's forehead, "Ranran, are you okay, do you have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about, you finally went to college and went to the provincial capital, and you actually If you want to go back to Qingxi Village, this poor and remote ghost place, let me tell you, if I can get out, I don't even want to stay here."

Qiao Churan was helpless: "Qingxi Village is not as exaggerated as you said. Didn't you say it all? Green mountains and green waters are golden mountains and silver mountains. Although our Qingxi Village is a little poor now, who says it can't develop in the future? It's not about leaving Is it right, not to mention the beautiful mountains and rivers here, I don’t think it will lose to Guilin’s mountains and rivers, do you still despise it?”

Fang Shanshan felt that the little sister was stupid, "My mother said this morning that you are going to farm when you come back. I still don't believe it. Now that you really say that, I wonder if I am dreaming."

Qiao Churan was surprised: "How did Auntie know?"

"Your grandma said it. She said that you will not go back to the city, and you will go home to farm together. Now many people in the village know that you are stupid in studying. Peasants, isn’t this all your hard work in vain? The tuition fees for these years are all in vain!”

Qiao Churan: "..."

Fang Shanshan disagreed: "It's not true, is it?"

Qiao Churan said helplessly: "It's true. I've been paying attention to relevant news in the past few years. I thought about coming back to develop new types of agriculture. I considered planting cantaloupe. You work in the town, so you know more than the village. Qingxi Village Our province is notoriously poor, and our county is also notoriously impoverished. There are [-] towns in the county, and the towns of Sanli and Jinlu in the north have taken the lead in developing fruit tree planting and getting rich. Only Wuxi Town has nothing. It was done. A few years ago, some people in the village opened a farm to raise pigs. After the swine fever two years ago, they lost a lot of pigs. After that, no one raised pigs. Of the [-] towns in our county, Wuxi Town is the poorest. I have not started to do anything, if our village develops some scientific planting and breeding, wouldn’t it be great?”

Of course, this is a lofty ideal. Qiao Churan is now only thinking about whether he can try other things besides the traditional rice planting and farming.

Fang Shanshan looked at Qiao Churan strangely: "You college students come back, do you like to do this?"

Qiao Churan was confused: "What do you mean?"

Fang Shanshan said: "In September of this year, a college student came to the town. It is said that he graduated from a graduate school in the north. He came to Wuxi Town, a remote village, and said that he wanted to develop scientific breeding and planting, and he wanted to get rid of poverty and become rich. He called on many farmers in other villages to raise them. Chickens and ducks and pigs, the big ones.”

Qiao Churan's thoughts moved, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly: "You're not talking about Zhenhua, are you?"

Fang Shanshan laughed loudly: "Even you know, not bad, Qiao Ranran, you just came back, and you got the news so quickly?"

Qiao Churan: "..."

"But do you think he's really super handsome! In Wuxi Town, oh no, in Chaoyang County, you can't find such a handsome man. We're still wondering if anyone in Wuxi Town can win this handsome guy."

Qiao Churan suppressed a smile: "Why don't you go up?"

"Bah! Why are you such a rascal, what can't you do?"

Qiao Churan: "..." Who is the rascal? Hey!

Fang Shanshan shrugged and said, "A college student from the north works in the Agricultural Economics Society in the town. You don't know the place where the Agricultural Economics Society is. I reckon he's only here for a year or two, and he has to leave sooner or later. What are you doing to tease people?"

What's more, she is quite self-aware, and Zhenhua is not in the same way.

Moreover, even though she dislikes Wuxi Town, she doesn't want to marry to the north either.

Otherwise, that handsome guy would have become a sought-after item long ago.

Qiao Churan didn't care much.

But Fang Shanshan coughed lightly, "I digressed, and when it comes to your matter, you are just whimsical. Let me tell you, the situation is different. Well, planting cantaloupe, what are you thinking? Qingxi Village even watermelons I have never planted them before, not to mention whether you can plant them, whether you can produce melons, and after you plant them, how do you sell them? As far as our town is concerned, if you set up a stall and sell five watermelons a day, it is considered a big business Yes, cantaloupe is more expensive than watermelon."

"If they are planted in large quantities, of course they are looking for a market."

"Where is the market?" Fang Shanshan asked.

"In the county town, in the city, in the provincial capital, and even outside of Guangxi Province, it has to be done step by step..." Qiao Churan patiently explained.

Fang Shanshan obviously didn't think she could make it work: "As for the broken road in Wuxi Town, even large trucks can't go on it."

Qiao Churan frowned, "Shanshan, the county road will be repaired, and there will be a highway here in the future. If there is no other way of development, everyone can't rely on that little subsidy to live a good life, right? "

What's more, she didn't want her parents to work so hard for a lifetime.

Fang Shanshan gave her a blank look: "That's not what you came to do, you are a girl, what do you do by grabbing a man's affairs."

Qiao Churan choked up: "Why is this a man's business?"

Fang Shanshan said, "That's something the village chief has to worry about too."

Qiao Churan was speechless, Fang Shanshan said kindly: "Okay, okay, I'm not here to hit you, isn't your decision so surprising to me?"

Qiao Churan said earnestly: "Qingxi Village has beautiful mountains and rivers. It is one of the seven villages in Wuxi Town. It is the nearest village to the town. It is very suitable for the development of scientific planting and breeding."

Fang Shanshan couldn't understand Qiao Churan's words, "Don't think about it, silly! You are doing well in the provincial capital. What do you do after resigning? You earn thousands of yuan a month in the provincial capital. Your monthly salary is lower than that in the village. You earn a lot from farming for a year, why do you want to come back, I really don’t understand you, I still want to go to the provincial capital to play with you in the future.”

"If you want to go in the future, we can go together too." Seeing that Fang Shanshan was not interested in these things, Qiao Churan had many things in her heart that she couldn't say out loud, but even her good sisters didn't support her, so she felt a little disappointed.
