Xianyuan Farm

It was a rare sunny day in the winter in the mountain city. After lunch, the two village officials hurried back to the village to print the contract, while Gu Hongyu took Mei Ning Taotao and Xiaoxi to wander around the village. …≦

Father and mother went to have fun with some familiar villagers in the village. The mountain city mahjong is famous throughout the country. The two who had not touched mahjong for several years were forced to play cards. I am afraid they will bleed this time, but what does it matter!

My younger brother Gu Hongchen also accompanied Jiao Xiaoqian to wander around the village. Jiao Xiaoqian is from the north and has shown great interest in the mountains and rivers in the south. Otherwise, they really can't find fun to kill time in the village.

But after they went out, the villagers began to talk about their family again.

"You know, at lunch today, Hongyu, the eldest son of Gu Jianming's family, plans to invest 10 million to build a farm in the village."

"Is there such a thing? The Gu family has really made a fortune this time. They can easily spend tens of millions. That's 10 million. Isn't he afraid of losing money?"

"Ten million is an astronomical figure for us, but it's nothing to Gu Hongyu. To use a phrase from the movie, it's just a drizzle!"

"Where do you think Gu Hongyu will build the farm?"

"How do I know this? I heard that Gu Hongyu asked his second uncle to take full responsibility and he didn't care about anything here."

"I don't know if the salary in the farm will be high in the future, otherwise it would be nice to work on the farm."

"That's true. Rural people like us who are half a century old, with no education and no skills, can adapt to growing vegetables and picking fruits on the farm. I just don't know if they will accept it?"

"I think we should ask today's birthday boy in the evening, or ask Gu Jianming directly. He is Hongyu's father, so he can make the decision, right?"

"..."

In the whole afternoon, the village spread the news that Gu Hongyu returned to the village to invest tens of millions to build a farm, as well as Gu Hongyu's experience in the past few years.

However, the matter of returning to the village to invest is related to the vital interests of many villagers. Many people took the opportunity of having dinner at their uncle's house to ask no one about anything. When Gu Hongyu took Mei Ning to the village for a tour and came back, several people who knew him stopped him directly.

"Xiaoyu, do you still remember? I am your uncle from the next room. I held you when you were a child!" A villager in his forties said to Gu Hongyu with a smile.

Gu Hongyu had some impression of his face and asked in confusion: "Uncle, what's the matter with you guys stopping me?"

"Xiaoyu, the villagers were saying in the afternoon that you are planning to invest 10 million in the village to build a farm. How much money can you make per month if you work on the farm?" The uncle continued to ask.

Although the second uncle was in charge of this matter, Gu Hongyu briefly talked to the second uncle about the salary during lunch. The salary for working in a factory in Shancheng is only about 3,000 yuan, and the farm will recruit workers according to this standard.

So Gu Hongyu said to his uncle: "It should be no problem for ordinary employees to have a salary of 3,000 yuan. If they do a good job or the farm is profitable, they will get bonuses during festivals and at the end of the year."

"Really, this is as much as my son's salary working in a big city, and there is no need to travel far and there is not so much cost. Boss Gu, do you think we can work on the farm?" A villager asked with joy.

Gu Hongyu smiled: "The farm will recruit workers in a unified manner in the future. The first requirement is good health. There is no clear age limit. Seeing that the uncles and aunts are in good health, there will be no problem for them to join the farm in the future."

"Boss Gu. Let me ask again how many people the farm will recruit in the future. If there are many people, I will simply call my son and son-in-law." Another villager who came over from the younger uncle said.

This villager really thinks far ahead. Gu Hongyu said patiently: "This matter has not been finalized yet. My second uncle is fully responsible for this matter. He may live in the countryside in the future. If there is new news, I will tell everyone immediately. You are all from the village, and the farm will definitely give priority to you when recruiting workers."

"Well, your Gu family is authentic. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. People in the village know each other well and can find out who is good and who is bad at work. Besides, we hope that the farm will be good. Only when the farm develops well, won’t we all get more bonuses soon!"

"..."

After explaining for a while, several villagers finally left. Gu Hongyu and Mei Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Mei Ning said: "These villagers are really enthusiastic!"

"The enthusiasm has a purpose. In the future, the farm will be good. They will be able to get the moon first because they are close to the water. The wages from the farm can at least relieve the economic pressure of many families." Gu Hongyu said.

Mei Ning said puzzledly: "I see that a lot of land in the village is barren. Why don't those villagers plant it themselves? This way, many families will not continue to be poor?"

Gu Hongyu smiled bitterly and said: "You are not from the countryside, you don't know a lot of things. Now agricultural products are all produced by fertilizers and pesticides. From sowing to harvesting, the villagers will pay a lot of hard work, but ordinary farmers can't make much money by digging fertilizers and pesticides."

"Not only that, farmers have to work hard and take great risks in the process of growing vegetables and fruits. If the crops they grow encounter natural disasters or other reasons that lead to reduced crop yields, not only will they not make a profit from their efforts this year, they will even have to pay for seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. Do you think this can make farmers motivated to grow crops?"

Looking at Mei Ning's thoughtful look, Gu Hongyu continued: "Now agriculture relies on large-scale scientific planting. If those traditional farming methods continue, ordinary farmers basically see no hope. Planting one year and losing money one year may be the reality of traditional farmers."

"The land is barren, and many farmers go out to work. Having a stable job every month is much better than farming. This is also the idea of ​​many migrant workers, and it is also a current situation with Chinese characteristics. A large number of rural labor forces have left, and the village is left with lonely elderly people and left-behind children."

"Brother Yu, you are so great. The things you did in Qingzhen, Honghu Village, really saved the lives of many families in more than a dozen villages over there. If you didn't invest there, I don't know what would happen to those villagers." Mei Ning said with emotion.

Gu Hongyu smiled and said, "I just happened to be there. There are still many families and people in the country who need our help. I want to hand over this charity to you. From now on, you will be the goddess Guanyin who saves people from suffering."
