Rebirth 90s: Sweetheart Cub

  Chapter 22 The Poor Man in Xizhong Village Doing Things

  The good news in the sweet potato field spread quickly.

  The entire Taoxi Village was filled with joy and excitement.

  The villagers originally thought that this was an unexpected joy, but they didn't expect that there would be a second wave of surprises waiting for them.

  Most of the watermelons in Taoxi Village are planted in the mountains, concentrated on the hillsides behind the village.

  Picking melons is a delicate job, and you have to pick and handle them lightly, and you have to work hard to carry melons in the middle, so the adults in the watermelon fields are all working in the watermelon fields, and the children are basically not brought.

   I'm afraid that the children will be careless, and accidentally knock the melon and crack it.

  That is a melon that sells for 50 cents, and no one is willing to waste it.

  After working all morning, the elders sat on the edge of the ground to rest for a while when they were tired, and did not go home. After resting, they continued to work. As for lunch, the women at home brought it.

   This can save some time and do more work.

   "I see that this year's watermelons are growing well. The watermelons in my hands are basically two to three catties each, and the melon patterns are also beautiful. After working hard for a long time, I haven't seen a single one with crooked buttocks."

  The old village chief sat with a few old brothers, smoking dry cigarettes, and the wrinkles on his old face stretched.

"I said that I picked melons all morning, and I always thought it was weird! In the past, there were at least dozens of melons with crooked buttocks in an acre of land, but I didn't see any of them this morning!" The old man next to him clapped his hands, and suddenly realized .

   There is also humanity, "Did you find out that the melons this time have uniform and clear patterns, and the color is not the same as in previous years. The melons are green and transparent, and they look like jade!"

   "What kind of jade, people call it emerald, green emerald!"

   "Aren't jade and emerald the same thing? Hey, why are you being serious with me? What I want to say is that our melons this year look good! Beautiful!"

  The old village chief was overjoyed, "What's there to argue about? Anyway, it's a good thing. The sweet potatoes have a bumper harvest, and we can't miss the watermelon!"

  The old man next to him said, "Look at what you said, they are all grown by yourself, why do you win or lose a fight between sweet potatoes and watermelons?"

  The entire hillside suddenly burst into laughter, and it floated far away.

In the watermelon field in the middle of the hillside, the young girl with braids smiled and said, "The melon looks good, but I don't know how it tastes. Dad, why don't we open one and try it? I've been working for a long time and I'm thirsty." "

  This is Chen Jian and his daughter Taohua.

  Chen Jianhe was picking up watermelons in the basket when he heard the words and cursed, "You're just greedy."

  Paused, "Open two, give the old village chief and some of your uncles and uncles a taste."

   "Okay!"

  Tao Hua responded, took off the pocket knife from the waistband of her trousers, scooped up a watermelon and opened it directly.

  With a light swipe of the knife, the watermelon was easily split open, and with a crackling sound, a craving sweet fragrance wafted out of the crack.

  When the watermelon is cut open, the melon sac inside is exposed. The color is beautiful red, and the melon juice is full and overflowing.

  The skin of the melon is only a thin layer!

  The old-fashioned way of growing watermelon for many years, you can tell it is a good melon at a glance!

  Chen Jianhe ran over almost immediately, staring straight at the watermelon.

   Not only him, but the old farmers on the edge of the field were also attracted, and there were bursts of uproar.

   "Is this really the watermelon we planted? Why is it different from previous years?"

  There has never been a watermelon with such a thin skin in their fields! There is also the color of the melon sac and the fragrance of the melon in the air!

  It's different, it's completely different from the previous ones!

   "Quick, taste it!" The old village head urged, and everyone picked up the melon petals one after another, and couldn't wait to put them in their mouths.

   "..."

   After a while, each family in the watermelon field started a melon opening competition.

   Another moment later, Taoxi Village ushered in the second round of explosive cheers.

   "Absolutely! This taste is absolutely amazing! After eating, the heat is gone!"

   "It's very sweet! You can't stop after one bite!"

   "I can't describe it! There is a word for it, by the way, aftertaste! Endless aftertaste! And never forgetting!"

   "Let me just say one thing, we are worth fifty cents!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

  On this day, Taoxi Village was full of laughter.

  In the memory of Taoxi Villagers, this is unprecedented.

  How could there be such a scene in Taoxi Village in the past?

  The oldest person in the village, Taoxi Village in my impression is also full of depression and silence.

  Like an old tree that is rotten inside, it is full of ashes everywhere. No matter how hard you struggle in time, you can only watch the leaves fall off one by one, and finally die slowly.

  But on this day, from what I saw along the way, the eyes of the people in Taoxi Village were shining, so bright that it hurt people.

   That's hope.

  The hope that grows from the hearts of Taoxi villagers.

  The decayed old tree in Taoxi Village has finally sprouted new green branches.

  …

  Xizhong Village.

  It is adjacent to Taoxi Village, seven miles away, but the situation in the village is completely different.

  It lies surrounded by water, and the village is surrounded by large rice fields.

  In addition, the village head has a way in his hand, and the villagers grow other agricultural and sideline products for sale in addition to farming, and they can earn a lot of surplus money every year.

   Life is not about being rich, but it is also self-sufficient.

  Compared to Taoxi Village, which is so poor that mice would move, Xizhong Village has a sense of superiority.

  In the most majestic brick house in the village, the village chief Wang Jianzhong sat on a recliner and served wine with a plate of roasted peanuts, humming a tune in a good mood.

  In the past few years, he has earned a lot of money, and he has accumulated a lot of prestige by helping the villagers get rich together. Wang Jianzhong's childhood life is very comfortable.

  Thinking that Taoxi Village will soon have another sum of money sent to him, he feels even better.

  The sound of motorcycle brakes and flameouts sounded in the courtyard, Wang Jianzhong didn't raise his eyebrows, "Is the goods from Taoxi Village ready?"

   "Uncle, Taoxi Village is in trouble! A bunch of **** poor people dare to rebel!" The young man in a flowered shirt walked into the main room with an ugly expression on his face.

  Wang Jianzhong frowned, put down his chopsticks, "What's going on? What's wrong?"

   "Their goods are ready, but they are not sold to us, but to another buyer!"

   "Who will take their goods but us? Someone wants to break the rules?"

   "I asked, it's not someone from our circle! I don't know what the source of the person they are looking for!"

  Wang Jianzhong's face darkened.

  Because the land in Taoxi Village is not good, the maturity period of the planted things is always ten days and a half months later than the surrounding areas, so he was not in a hurry after the initial quotation, and waited slowly until now.

   Waiting for Taoxi Village to deliver it to your door.

   In the end, he was cut off?

   "Uncle, what should we do now?" The young man in the flowered shirt said in a deep voice, "A large sum of money, let's just watch it fly away?"

   Yes, a lot of money.

  The products in Taoxi Village don’t look good, but when they are delivered to the county town, they are actually only one and a half cents cheaper than others.

   And they keep the purchase price low, and the difference they can earn when they resell it is actually much more than selling other products!

   Almost equal to picking up for nothing.

   "Let's go to Taoxi Village. I want to see where they can sell those crooked melons and cracked dates!" Wang Jianzhong said in a gloomy tone.

  Taoxi Village is the native duck whose neck was stuck in his hand and plucked at will.

   Can let it fly?
