Long Jiale

People in the village were shocked when they heard that someone was going to contract the land. These days, their heartstrings have been tensed by the matter of "donating money to build roads", and every household is thinking about their own ideas.

Although the amount of donation is a voluntary matter, but in order to maintain their status and face in the village, it becomes less voluntary.

Those who are poor and reluctant to donate money are thinking about how to donate less money without losing face.In the village, face is the most important thing. Some men who wanted to swell their faces to make themselves fat were covered by their daughter-in-law's eyes and spittle. In a short time, family conflicts escalated countless times.

And those villagers with rich families rubbed their hands in their hearts and secretly looked forward to how to "shine their glory" when donating, overwhelming everyone, and gaining the glory that everyone envied and envied.

If you donate a lot of money, you will have more say in road construction. When the time comes, you will naturally build the roads in the village to make it most convenient for your family to travel.

……

There was an uproar in the village because of donations to build roads, and now the village chief dropped another breaking news, which blew everyone up.

No more donations?

Good thing!The little daughter-in-law, who was having a quarrel with her husband, immediately stopped going back to her mother's house, "Our family has a lot of people, and we can still share thousands of dollars! Money for nothing."

Her husband's face also turned from worry to joy. Their family is a big family in the village. If the donation is small, how can he behave in the village in the future?

It's fine now, don't worry about it.

"Who wants to reserve the land?"

"It is said that it is Xiao Shen from the Shen family?"

"Xiao Shen? Shen Zhoucheng? Could it be that he has made a fortune outside these years?"

The news also reached Uncle Wang's house. When Tang Lan first heard the news, she was so overwhelmed that she couldn't eat. Tang Lan couldn't believe that the little bastard she had always looked down upon saved so much money.

"How did you say he got the money? Could it be a pyramid scheme?"

Second Uncle Wang glared at her, "What nonsense are you talking about? Xiao Shen is a capable person. After working hard outside these years, of course he can save this money."

Tang Lan gritted her teeth, thinking in her heart, 40, apart from these contracted land payments, Shen Zhoucheng must have other money. This wild boy has hidden it deep enough. It would be great if I gave the money to her, "Old Wang , you have a good relationship with that boy from the Shen family, go and persuade him not to rent any land, and with this money, let him and Fangfang go to the county town to open a milk tea shop..."

"Fangfang, didn't you say that you don't want to be a teacher and want to open a milk tea shop? We have an engagement with the Shen family. In fact, that kid is also handsome. You..."

Wang Fangfang spit out a mouthful of water, "Mom, I think you are sick, I'm going back to school, don't tell me these things."

Do you really think your daughter is a baby?People rushed to propose marriage?

Second Uncle Wang knew his daughter-in-law's virtues, so he ignored her, "It's Shen's business, you don't care what he does, go and prepare for Miao Miao's marriage."

"Okay, I don't care." Tang Lan said that wanting to marry her youngest daughter to Shen Zhoucheng was temporarily obsessed with money, and her long-term prejudice against Shen Zhoucheng could not be eliminated.

Tang Lan couldn't help being angry, she really couldn't stand the person she always looked down on, and one day she would be able to make a fortune.

"So what if you have a wallet? Last year, the village next door contracted a fishpond of more than ten acres. In a flood, all the fish ran away. So much money was invested in it, and it was just a waste of water from the bamboo basket..."

"Farming depends on God's rewards for food. This year I died of drought, next year I will be flooded, raising chickens and pigs, and chicken fever and swine fever... I really have a sick mind to go back to the village to start farming."

"If I don't see it, I will kill you!"

Village Chief Wang is a person who takes care of everything and acts vigorously. Shen Zhoucheng told him about the land entitlement, and Village Chief Wang helped him deal with all the matters directly, and followed the procedures.

These processes can't be completed for a month. Shen Zhoucheng stays at home with peace of mind, taking care of the chickens, ducks and fields for his grandmother. Their family only grows an acre of rice for their own food, but they grow more vegetables. Grandma Shen In addition to the two vegetable gardens on the hill, there are also vegetable fields in front of and behind the house.

After the news of the land entitlement got out, many people from the village visited their home, secretly inquiring about Shen Zhoucheng with their own thoughts, and wanted to ask how he earned so much money back.Others advised the Shen family not to spend money on the fields, and wanted to partner with Shen Zhoucheng to do business in the county.

In the face of inquiring inquiries from the villagers, Shen Zhoucheng did his own thing, and carried out the good saying "Silence is golden" to the end, without revealing a word, and stamped the teeth of the curious people itch.

Fortunately, Shen Zhoucheng's 1.8 meters tall, in this small southern village where the average male height is less than 1.7 meters, he can almost be said to be superior to the crowd, very oppressive.They were a head short in height, no matter how much they stomped their feet and got angry, they didn't dare to do anything.

Shen Zhoucheng took a bucket to water the vegetable field behind the house.

Since Shen Zhoucheng came back, their family has planted several acres of vegetable land. These years, there is only grandma in the family, and many of their fields are unused. This time, they chose a land with good terrain and spent money to install irrigation equipment. Taking advantage of this change of equipment, Shen Zhoucheng also replaced the irrigation and fertilization equipment of several vegetable gardens on Grandma Mountain with new ones. At the same time, he also found someone to build a two-acre greenhouse, which can be built before winter.

He wandered through every vegetable garden, only to find that his grandma had really planted a lot of vegetables this year. Village head Wang asked her to prepare them for supply to the county town. Grandma was so excited that she planted them all regardless of 21 or [-]. , Now the fruits of the vegetable garden are hung one after another, and one crop is cut and another crop is harvested.

If it cannot be sold, it will rot in the ground.

These days, Shen Zhoucheng often exudes a dragon aura when he has nothing to do. He wanders around their house and can't tell it for a day. It's nothing more than greener leaves and more vigorous vines. However, after several days, the difference It stands out.

Grandma Shen muttered in confusion, "Why do so many grow on one vine?"

"Is the weather this year so good?"

"If you don't pick it up, you will grow old."

Where Grandma Shen couldn't see, he put his hand into the crystal clear well water, the silver scales shone brightly, maybe it was his illusion, Shen Zhoucheng felt that those scales were smoother and brighter.

In the dark, Shen Zhoucheng felt that if he nourished the plants with dragon energy, his body would also benefit to some extent.

Could it be that if he wants to restore his dragon body and enhance his spiritual power, he has to farm the land well?

"Xiaocheng, do you see that the vegetables grown by grandma are becoming more and more juicy? The color is so beautiful. Look at this lettuce, it is crispy and raw. I fried a plate yesterday and added some sesame oil. Grandma has never eaten such delicious food. !"

Grandma Shen picked some root vegetable leaves and threw them into the chicken flock. This time, the rooster and hen huddled together, almost fighting, and used their sharp beaks to grab the vegetable leaves.

Seeing this, Grandma Shen smiled so blindly, "Look, the chickens have been snatched like this, which means our food is delicious."

A big rooster with a bright red comb like blood held its head high, with vegetable leaves in its mouth, aggressive eyes, and sharp and powerful claws. Grandma Shen took special care of it and threw more vegetable leaves towards it.

A villager who came to Shen's house yesterday saw the big rooster and immediately asked Grandma Shen if she would sell it. Of course, Grandma Shen would not sell it, saying that the chicken was still young and would not be sold until it grew up.

Although the price offered by the other party is high, Grandma Shen also has her own careful thinking. Naturally, the best chickens raised by them are reserved for their precious grandchildren, and no one else will sell them no matter how high the price is.

After Shen Zhoucheng poured water, he also walked to the side of the chickens and touched the bright red comb of the big rooster. Although the rooster had a bad temper, it seemed not to be afraid of Shen Zhoucheng. Every time Shen Zhoucheng approached, the rooster would not only not Hidden, and approached him actively.

He looked at the rooster for a moment with deep eyes, and the rooster knew it would do him good to be near him.

But the other chickens, though somewhat responsive, were not as sensitive as this rooster.

"Xiaocheng, tomorrow we have to send the vegetables at home to the county seat. When grandma wakes up early tomorrow morning, she will pick the tenderest and freshest vegetables... We can't let that place be dissatisfied."

"Grandma, tomorrow morning I'll get up alone to pick vegetables and send them over."

"No, grandma wants to pick it herself."

Jiang Hua is a short-distance transport driver who works in a small transport company. He is in charge of the section from Shiluo Town to Guping County, passing through Qingquan Village every morning.

The village head of Qingquan Village is somewhat distantly related to their supervisor, and occasionally asks them to help the villagers take some things to the county town by the way, without charging any money.

This time, Jiang Hua received a notice, asking him to help an old lady bring food to the county every day, and collect some money every month, as if he was helping the village.

Jiang Hua agreed without hesitation, but he was extremely upset. Anyone who was on his way early in the morning before dawn and was in a hurry to go to the county town to have a hot breakfast would be delayed for more than ten minutes by such things inexplicably. Anyone will be upset.

Parked the car at the gate of the village, made several phone calls to urge the other party to bring the vegetables over quickly, Jiang Hua hung up the phone, squatted on the gravel road, took a cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath, scolded his mother in his heart, and then Can't help but said: "This Qingquan Village is really too poor."

There wasn't even a better road. Fortunately, he didn't drive down, otherwise he would have died seven or eight times.

Through the hazy white mist, Jiang Hua finally saw two figures on the small slope, an old woman and a young man. He quickly put out the cigarette, walked forward quickly, and went over to help, and The tall man pushed the vegetable basket onto the cart and made it stable.

"Brother, northerner?"

Jiang Hua was only 1.7 meters tall, and the man beside him was half a head taller than him. In his Gunan County, he rarely saw such a tall man.

"No, a local, born and bred in Qingquan Village." Shen Zhoucheng smiled at Jiang Hua, and pointed to Qingquan Village.

"The accent is indeed from Gu Nan, but why have I never seen you before?"

"I've been outside for seven or eight years, and I just came back last month."

"No wonder no wonder."

Grandma Shen smiled and listened to the conversation between the two of them, and eagerly stuffed the bag of things into Jiang Hua's hands, "This is something that our farm raises itself, so don't dislike it, and trouble you to go there early in the morning."

"Haven't you eaten breakfast yet? There's still a bag of warm local eggs in it. Eat two to pad your stomach."

"Thank you grandma, let's go."

"Hey, be careful when driving."

Jiang Hua got into the car and threw the big red bag that Grandma Shen handed him in front of the passenger seat. He glanced at it just now. The red bag contained farm products such as tomatoes, radishes and eggplants, as well as a small bag of boiled eggs.

He left Qingquan Village and drove two kilometers forward, his stomach growling loudly. Originally, he wanted to go to the county town to eat a bowl of fragrant noodle soup with red oil and chopped green onion as soon as possible without wasting time. It was the thing that attracted him the most every morning.

But now, how come those few hot boiled eggs, not much bigger than a betel nut, attract him so much?

Jiang Hua parked the car on the side of the road, picked up a warm local egg, and cracked it open. Inside the brown eggshell was white and tender as snow. Take a bite, the egg was full of fragrance, and the orange-red yolk was in the middle. It looks like fresh eggs.

Jiang Hua couldn't hold back, and ate four of them in one go.

Strange to say, he didn't feel choked after eating four eggs, but wanted to eat a few more.

The taste of native eggs is different from that of feed eggs.

He recalled the taste of boiled eggs in his heart, saw the five eggs left in the white bag, and decided to take them home for his family to taste.

Jiang Hua turned on the kettle and drank a few sips of water. When he started driving again, he felt more energetic than before, and the things in front of him seemed to have been washed with water, and the colors became clearer than before.
