Chapter 39
"Do you really want to go?"
Chen Ju didn't let go of Xia Mu's box, and it was really hard to believe that he was the president of a large group company with his rambunctious appearance.
"Didn't we agree?"
Xia Mu squatted beside Chen Ju, stroking his face with one hand.
"But I miss you."
Chen Ju grabbed his hand, put it in front of his mouth and kissed it again and again, even if it was agreed, he still didn't want to part with it!
"I'll go back and get those things done, and when you're done here, go to my hometown to find me, and I want you to see my achievements."
The land in my hometown is almost done. What can be planted has already been planted, and what can't be planted has been well fertilized. I will wait until next spring to plant again.Not only that, but Xia Mu also asked them to dig a large lotus pond for him on the land where he left to build the manor, in which lotus roots will be planted, and fresh lotus roots and lotus seeds can be eaten in autumn.
"……I see."
Of course, Chen Ju understands the man around him.As a man, he will have ambition and professionalism, he can't trap Xia Mu by his side, it's unfair to Xia Mu.He has made a name for himself by being successful, isn't Xia Mu allowed to develop his own career?
"Okay, dear Ah Ju, you have to take me to the airport, or I won't be able to catch the plane."
Xia Mu kissed his face, in fact, he was also very reluctant!But there are gains and losses, and he doesn't want to be a man who has always relied on Ah Ju, and he also has his own ambitions to achieve.
"You have to wait for me, and I will go to you after I have settled the matter here."
Chen Ju's head office is in the capital, which is more prosperous than Shu Province, and it is also the most beneficial for his development. After all, the Chen family can be said to be a very prestigious family in the capital, and will give him the green light in many aspects of the capital. Few people dare to get stuck on things to do.But going to Shu Province is different. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the strong dragon can't overwhelm the local snake.So even if he handles it well, he has to come back one day a week to process the documents that can only be signed by him.Fortunately, there is a plane from Xiaomu's hometown to the capital, which is very convenient.
"nature."
Xia Mu nodded.
The two didn't say a word on the way to the airport, but their hands never separated.Xia Mu leaned on Chen Ju's shoulder, this time they will not be able to see each other for at least several months.
When entering the waiting room, Xia Mu turned his head three times at a step, while Chen Ju kept standing and waving.
It wasn't until the airport's announcement sounded that Xia Mu turned his head cruelly and went in.As for Chen Ju behind him, he slowly withdrew his gaze until he was out of sight.
Chen Ju asked his secretary to buy a business class ticket for Xia Mu. As soon as Xia Mu boarded the plane, he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. Except for opening his eyes after drinking water in the middle, the stewardess had never seen this handsome man open his eyes at other times. Eye.This made the stewardess very frustrated, it was rare to meet a handsome guy with a masculine temperament.
The two-hour flight passed quickly, and Xia Mu got off the plane with his luggage. There was already someone holding a sign with his name at the pick-up place. This was Chen Ju's assistant arranged for him in Shu Province.
Not only that, Chen Ju also arranged for a driver and bought him a modified Land Rover in Shu Province as a car.
"Take me home first."
"Yes, Master Mu."
The assistant is Chen Ju's, but he respects Xia Mu more than Chen Ju.Everyone in the Juwang Group knows that if they offend the boss, at most they will be scolded and deducted a month's salary, but if they offend Xia Mu, the wife of the president, they can only obediently get out of the Juwang Group, and they will also be punished by the Juwang Group. blow.
"Mom and Dad." Xia Mu ran home as soon as he got out of the car.
Xia's father and Xia's mother stuck their heads out of the window when they heard Xia Mu's voice.
"Amu~"
Xia's mother wiped her hands on the apron, and hurriedly opened the door and ran downstairs.
Xia Mu's speed was not slow, and he quickly ran to the floor where they lived. At this time, Xia Mu had just run to the stairs, and Xia Mu was followed by the assistant and the driver who were dragging luggage.
Xia Mu hugged Xia Ma: "Mom, I'm back."
During the Chinese New Year, Xia Mu was left in the capital by Chen Ju and did not come back. At that time, he was using it for an internship.So Xia's father and Xia's mother haven't seen their youngest son for a whole year, saying that they don't want it to be fake, otherwise Xia's mother wouldn't be so excited.
"Stinky boy, are you finally willing to come back?"
Dad Xia stood at the door, staring at him.
"Dad~~"
Xia Mu let go of Xia's mother and rushed towards Xia's father.Although Dad Xia's face was dark, he looked at his son who was rushing towards him and reached out to catch him.
"You are finally back, don't you know if we will miss you?"
This is the longest time Dad Xia and Mom Xia have been separated from their youngest son, so they miss this caring little son very much.
"sorry."
With a man who forgot his parents, Xia Mu felt very ashamed.He planned to come back for the Chinese New Year, but Ah Ju said that since they met, the two hadn't celebrated the Spring Festival together. In order to let him stay for the Spring Festival, Chen Ju started to tangle with him from Dongyue until he was on vacation.In the end, he succeeded, so Xia Mu didn't come back during the Chinese New Year last year.
Being dragged into the house by Xia's mother, Xia's father greeted the assistant and the driver to enter the house.
The two entered the floor after a while of modesty. Xia's father wanted to take the luggage in their hands but was refused. You can't let Young Master Mu's father carry the luggage. If the tyrant finds out, they will all be shot and killed by King Ju.
"What's your surname, gentlemen? Thank you for sending Amu back. Please drink tea."
As soon as Xia's mother dragged her son into the upper floor, she hurried to make tea. This is the tea that Xia Mu sent back to them. It is said that it costs thousands of yuan a tael!It's too expensive, and the old couple are reluctant to drink it.Today, when guests came, they took it out to entertain them. Usually, the old couple only drank it once a week, because they were afraid that they would run out of drinks.
"Mom, you haven't finished your tea yet?"
This time, Xia Mu also helped his parents bring back tea, which was brought by Chen Ju to his parents-in-law. With the money he earned, he couldn't afford to drink thousands of dollars a tael of tea.
"How can your father and I be willing to drink such expensive tea?"
Xia's mother rolled her eyes at her son, one or two thousand yuan, the total is only half a catty, so I have to save some drinks.
"..."
Xia Mu lowered his head guiltily, the tea he drank in the capital was better than this one, and he never thought that it would be enough, he even rubbed the Dahongpao with the old man twice!Still on the mother tree.It's a pity that the portion is too small, even with Mr. Chen's status, he can only get a little bit.If the old man hadn't seen him happy, he wouldn't be willing to take it out to drink. You must know that the mother tree is no longer allowed to pick tea, so the old man's hand is already the last stock.
He couldn't get the Dahongpao, even if Chen Ju spent a lot of money, he only got a little bit, and gave it all to Mr. Chen.However, there is no shortage of other good teas in the Chen family. This time he brought back a lot of top quality teas, West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Maofeng and Junshan Yinzhen, all of which are the top ten famous teas in Huaguo.Some were bought by Chen Ju himself, and some were given away by others. In the end, Chen Ju divided them into two parts, one for the old man and one for Xia Mu to please his parents-in-law.
"By the way, I haven't asked your two names yet!"
Dad Xia took some sunflower seeds snacks to entertain the assistant and the driver, and the two were flattered by his kind attitude.
"My surname is Tan, and I'm Young Master Mu's assistant." Assistant Tan took the kill from Xia's father with both hands. Fortunately, the boss is not here today, otherwise they would have been stared to death.How dare you let the boss's parents-in-law make tea for them, you want to die, don't you?
"I'm the driver, my surname is Gu."
The driver hastily took it with his hands again. Even though he is just a driver, he also likes to drink tea. No matter the aroma or color of this tea, it is definitely good tea. With his salary, he usually only dares to look at such tea.
"son?"
Xia's father and Xia's mother looked at Xia Mu suspiciously, when will their son be able to hire assistants and drivers.
"I'm running a farm now, and I have to go to many places. I can't do without a car and an assistant."
Xia Mu didn't hide the matter of running the farm from his parents, but he told them that he had a partner, otherwise how could he have so much money.You must know that except for the manor, the entire farm is almost under construction, and the funds are in place in one step. Even if Xia Mu said that the funds were all his own, no one would believe them.
And the fact is the same, he and Chen Ju each contributed 500 million, so the manor is recorded in their names.But considering that the operator of this manor is Xia Mu, so he holds 50.00% of the shares, while Chen Ju holds 40.00% of the shares.
"Oh~~~"
Xia's father and Xia's mother didn't think much about it. Now his son is also the owner of a farm, and he really needs the help of assistants and drivers to deal with some usual things.So a chance to know the truth let Dad Xia and the others let it go like this. When they think about it later, don't mention how much regret they have in their hearts. I will ask a few more questions, but unfortunately the most indispensable thing in this world is to know early.
After sending off Assistant Tan and Driver Gu, they actually lived in another community not far from Xia's house, and they would appear in front of Xia Mu within 5 minutes if Xia Mu needed a phone call.
"Are you coming back this time?"
Without outsiders, Xia's father and Xia's mother began to face up to this youngest who had a completely different temperament from a few years ago.
"Occasionally, I will leave and go to the capital to do business."
They can't just let Chen Ju stay in Shu Province forever, they still have to go back to see Mr. Chen and the others!
"Does that mean you live at home most of the time?"
Xia's mother's eyes lit up, the eldest son was not at home and there was no way to take him on a blind date, but the younger son was different, he also just graduated from university, and it was time to get married and have children.She has been thinking about holding a grandson for several years, but unfortunately Xia Shu has not been able to make her wish come true.
"I live on a farm."
When the manor is repaired, he will move in.But why mother's eyes are shining with green light, there is a feeling of being calculated.
"You can also accompany me to live in the farm. It's fine to come back to clean the house once in a while in the city."
As for the shop, it was originally set up, so there was no need to worry about it.
"is this okay?"
Xia's father's heart moved. In fact, he and Xia's mother have long wanted to go back to the countryside. Although everything is convenient in the city, it is not as comfortable as the countryside, and everything is expensive.But when they went back to the countryside, they didn't have a house. Although the eldest brother and the others said that after a hundred years from Grandpa Xia and the others, the house they lived in would go to Father Xia after paying half of the money to Uncle Xia, but it is not convenient to live in now. It won't sound good to be told to eat and use Grandpa Xia's.
"Why not? It's inconvenient to live at Grandpa's house. Why can't we live in the manor I built?"
Xia Mu's household registration is still in the countryside, so he can apply for a homestead in the village.This time, I directly applied for the homestead. Of course, my brother and his parents also applied for it. We just reserved it first, and it would not be too late to repair it after my brother saved enough money.With a homestead for three people, the house that can be repaired in this way is much larger.
As for the manor, it was built under three mountains, covering an area as large as several Xia family's homesteads.
The manor was built in the pattern of a courtyard, divided into a front yard and a back yard.And they are all in the style of two floors, so that not only the space is wide, but also the rooms are more.The front yard is used as a hotel, and the back yard is where Xia Mu and Chen Ju live, and idlers are not allowed to enter.
Of course, Xia Mu also reserved a room for his family. The backyard was divided into three parts, one main courtyard and two small courtyards. Because the younger generation should not be partial, the elders on both sides should be taken into account.
Although the manor looks antique on the outside, the inside of the room is very modern, especially the water heater, which uses solar energy.Moreover, three wells were drilled in the front and back yards of the house, and the water in two of them was more delicious than the well water in other places. It was warm in winter and cool in summer, and it was sweet to drink.
"These two wells are sweet water wells, and they are probably drilled in the same groundwater location."
Grandpa Xia drank water from a well. Their Xiashang Village is the place with the least water shortage in the surrounding countryside. The mountain springs, groundwater and river water have never been completely dry even during the severe drought.The surrounding villages often come to Xiashang Village to ask for water when there is a shortage of water. Every time there is a severe drought, Xiashang Village does not know how many people have been saved.
"Hahaha~ Grandpa's ability to see water through the soil has not deteriorated at all!"
Xia Mu also took a sip, and it tasted the same as the sweet water well in the village, and it was delicious.This kind of water quality is absolutely superior, and it contains many minerals.
"That's right, this ability is the guy I ate when I was young."
Grandpa Xia squinted. Back then, he relied on this skill to support his children. Even in the most difficult years, he didn't let the children go hungry.It is impossible for a person not to drink water, as long as he needs to drink water, he needs to dig a well, and he has supported a large family with this ability.It's just that when he got older, he couldn't continue to travel around, otherwise he wouldn't be unable to get money when the old woman was sick and borrowed a whole lot of debt.
"The house is now built and is being renovated. The water used by the construction team is taken from this non-sweet well, and the draft water can be drawn from the sweet well."
Xia Mu drilled three wells in consideration of draft and water use, and in order to prevent the two sweet water wells from being polluted, all water was directly poured into the swamp from the sewer.Except for the flower beds reserved for planting flowers, all the other open spaces in the yard are tiled so that when it rains, there will be no muddy feet.
"That's good, otherwise you won't be able to separate food from use, and this sweet water well will eventually dry up."
After all, the little grandson's front yard is a hotel, and there are many people coming and going, so we can't separate them.Not only that, but the water pipes in each room are connected to the non-sweet well, so they are completely separated.
And this mouth of the sweet water well is usually placed with stone slabs, not for fear of people stealing it, but for fear of children falling into it.In order to store water, the well was drilled very deep, and it was [-]% dead if it fell.So usually everyone only uses water pipes to collect water, and the manhole cover is not allowed to be taken down.
The same is true for the well in the back, but there is a difference in that there is a special reservoir in the backyard, and the water in the pool comes from the mountains, which is a veritable mountain spring.It can be eaten or used to make tea.Xia Mu also planned to use the mountain spring water to sell, and put it in small buckets, and a bucket of water cost ten yuan.Those in the city should be very happy to buy it. Ten yuan is not too little but not too much, and a bucket of water can feed a family of three for two or three days, and the average price of drinking mountain spring water for a month is more than three yuan per day. , the average family can afford it.
Compared with the tap water in the city, I believe that anyone who is not so picky will choose mountain spring water.Xia Mu also plans to take the water to test, and when the time comes to sell the water and show it to the customers, at least they will feel relieved.
Don't say that Xia Mu is traitorous, selling the worthless mountain spring water in the village.And Xia Mu didn't ask for the money himself, he planned to use the money to build roads for the people in the village, especially the dirt road to the village.Every time it rains, there is no way for cars to run on this road, and we can only rely on people to walk one by one, which is very hard.
Now he can use the money to repair it, but he can't let the people in the village take it for granted.Therefore, the water fee is regarded as the repayment of the villagers, but the installment period may be a bit long, because it is not known when it will be repaid.But for Xia Mu, the goal is achieved, let the villagers know that there is no free lunch in this world.
Of course, the village will not bear all the installment payments for the road repairs, because the summer wood used to repair the road to the manor must be more than the villagers, so he will bear a large part, and the village will bear a small part.In this way, the time for selling water to repay the loan is not as long as expected. After the repayment is completed, the villagers can also sell water as a source of income for the village.
But before all the money is repaid, the villagers are not allowed to sell water privately. This is the decision of the entire Xiashang Village.
After Xia Mu and the village signed the agreement, they asked the construction team to start building the road the next day.It turned out that he had already arranged that the road construction to the countryside would cost about one million yuan, and Xia Mu would bear 100 yuan for the 80 million yuan, and Xiashang Village would bear 20 yuan.
20 sounds like a lot, but they don't need to take out the money, it's just that they can't sell it when Xia Mu wants to sell water, and when the money is paid off, no one will care if they want to sell it, so this deal is a good deal.
Of course it's a bargain!Originally, Xia Mu wanted to do something for the village, but he didn't want them to develop the habit of taking it for granted. He felt that Xia Mu should pay more money, so he came up with this idea.
Besides, once his manor is built, there will be more people coming and going, and the villagers can set up a farmhouse by themselves. As long as the cooking skills are not too bad and the hygiene at home is good, I believe there are many people Would love to get a taste of farm life.
While building the road, he waited for the manor to be built.Now that the main body has been built almost, it only needs to be aired to find someone to decorate it, and it should be able to move in before the Chinese New Year.Many of the furniture in the manor are made of cypress trees. There are many such trees in their place, and they are also the wood that people here often choose.
Only Xia Mu in the backyard used rosewood, and Chen Ju took the money.Originally, he chose elm, but he turned his back on it, and then arranged for someone to send a batch of furniture made of red rosewood.Including the beds they slept in were all made with red acid techniques. Considering the status of the Xia family, Chen Ju didn't make it that complicated, it was an ordinary canopy bed.
Every room in the front yard is furnished in the same way, only three rooms have been converted into suites, and the price is of course much more expensive than ordinary rooms.Xia Mu in the front yard didn't spend much thought, only every room in the back yard was decorated by Xia Mu.Although the furnishings inside are ordinary, it is exquisite and interesting.
Xia Mu, who was busy arranging the room, naturally didn't have time to take care of the work in the field, so he had to ask Grandpa Xia to help watch over it. Grandpa Xia knew more about weeding or planting than he did.Fortunately, nothing has been planted in the field this year. The main thing is to clear out a few mountains and start planting next year.
When Xia Mu's manor is finished, it will be almost the end of the year.And the first batch of agricultural products in the field also came out. Xia Mu had already negotiated the price with one or two supermarkets, and they sent a car to buy the crops as soon as they came out.
However, most of this batch is vegetables, mainly because the season is not right, so we have to grow some vegetables.Fortunately, the road was repaired, and it was convenient for the car to come in, and it drove directly to the foot of the mountain, and it couldn't be easier to load the car.
Looking at the basically formed manor, the alpine fields are divided piece by piece, and it feels like a rural village more than ten years ago.
It used to be that the whole mountain consisted of weeds except for the shrubs. Now the weeds were cleared and burned to ashes to make fertilizer, and the shrubs were cut down and dried in the sun to be used as firewood.Compared with the meals cooked with gas and biogas, it is better to cook with firewood.For this reason, Xia Mu also specially built a firewood shed next to the manor. It is just a shed, but it is very large, and it contains shrubs and unused trees cut from the mountain.Except for the trees, the shrubs are all standing on the edge of the ground, so the roots are not dug up, and they will grow every year, so don't worry about not having to cut them down later.
As for soil erosion, there is no need to worry. There are many trees on the mountain, and most of them have been preserved.He also hired people from the village to go up the mountain to plant trees every day, and some of these trees are fruit trees, and some of them can be used as wood. Those wild saplings that the old man dug back from other mountains and fields are only half the height of a person.
These trees grow slower than cypress, but are good wood.After a few years on the mountain, it will grow to a large scale, which is also an income.Every year, Xiamu arranges people to plant trees, so that the trees on the mountain can also form a good cycle.It is also an income for the villagers, because both planting and felling trees require people, and Xia Mu has never been stingy about wages.
"Amu, come to patrol the mountain again?"
Generally, saplings are planted in winter, and there is not much work in winter. Many people from Xiashang Village on the mountain have come.One yuan per tree is not much, but it is quite easy for the villagers who are idle at home to plant more than ten or twenty trees a day.It's just that it's hard to find saplings. Except for fruit trees and those trees that can become useful, other trees and summer trees are not needed.
"Yeah, I have two plots of land to plant grapes in a few days, so you guys can help me then!"
The grape seedlings have already been ordered, and they will all be brought back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.There are three mountains, the first one is dedicated to growing crops, the second one is for growing fruits and vegetables, and the third one is for grazing.As for the fields at the foot of the mountain, they were used to grow food. When Xia Mu built the mountain, the fields at the foot of the mountain were also covered, and the entire Xiashang Village paid extra money for it.Xia Mu made a one-time contract for 70 years and paid the village for three years first.
"Okay, when the time comes, you can ask the village chief to yell on the horn, and we will go there by ourselves."
One winter, most of the villagers in Xiashang Village earned thousands of yuan. Compared with the past when they were idle at home and had nothing to do but play cards, they could earn some money this year.
"Okay, you guys pay attention to the horn!"
Xia Mu took a look, and there were many trees planted on the mountain. After returning the farmland to the forest, there were basically no people planting the few mountains, but the trees that were planted were also nourished because no one took care of them. bad.What makes Xia Mu most depressed is that these trees are all mulberry trees.
"Forget it, you can keep it. At worst, I will raise silkworms. Anyway, Guocheng already produces silk. As long as my silkworms are well raised, no one will want them."
Xia Mu recorded the land planted with mulberry trees in the notebook that he carried with him. Although he decided to keep it, not all of them should be kept. species.
Except for a few parts that haven't been planned yet, most of them have already been planned, and the unplanned part is because Xia Mu doesn't know what to do, so let's keep it for now, in case there is nothing to do later and it will be cheating.
At the same time, the farm’s first crop of grain has already been planted. Of course, the people who farm the land are skilled farmers in Xiashang Village. Xia Mu hires them to do part-time work. Anyone who does not do well will not be hired in the future, so the villagers of Xiashang Village should do their best, and they are afraid that there will be no extra money to earn in the future.
"Hi, I'm Xia Mu. Alright, I see, you can send them over in the next year! Well, okay, it's troublesome. The money is easy to talk about, but you have to make sure that there are no sick cows. I will return all the sick cows."
Xia Mu told the person on the phone that this is a ranch in the north, Xia Mu ordered [-] cows, [-] sheep and [-] horses with them.After turning over, it will be sent to Xiashang Village. After almost a year of breeding, the mountain specially used for breeding has been covered with grass, which is alfalfa.This is good forage and will grow again next year as long as the roots are not dug up.
This thing can be harvested and dried to feed cattle, sheep and pigs in winter. It is said that it can also be eaten as wild vegetables. It tastes pretty good.
As for saying that people who eat cattle and sheep cannot eat it, Xia Mu said that sweet potato leaves are still eaten by pigs, how can anyone eat them?As long as you treat people well, what is Guan it used for?Compared with vegetables grown with pesticides, this alfalfa is absolutely free of pesticides, and it is fresh even for an occasional meal.
"Amu~~I'm home for dinner~~"
Standing on the mountain, Xia Mu couldn't help laughing when he heard the cry from the bottom of the mountain.
"I see~~~"
He also yelled back loudly, but the sound stopped.I looked at the time, no wonder grandpa called him, it was already 12:30.
Patting the dust off his body, Xia Mu walked down the mountain road.Although no one has walked it for many years, this mountain road still exists. After all, the road that has been walked for tens of hundreds of years is not so easy to be invaded by weeds and shrubs.
"Grandpa, how many people in our village still raise silkworms?"
Xia Mu held the bowl and asked while eating, the potato stew specially made for him by the old man, the potatoes were succulent and meaty.
"There are two other households, but they don't raise many."
Grandpa Xia thought about it. In the past, the whole village raised silkworms, but later all the young people went out to work. Naturally, there were fewer people raising silkworms. The old people were too busy working in the fields, so how could they have time to raise silkworms?
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, this mulberry tree will definitely not work next year, let's talk about it next year!"
Xia Mu dug the rice into his mouth with a few mouthfuls, wiped his mouth and went up the mountain to work again.He has been so busy recently that he even changed the time to call Chen Ju from the morning, noon and night to before going to bed at night, and he has been gone for almost half a year, and I don't know if he has fixed it.It doesn't seem like a good thing for the company to grow big, at least Chen Ju can't leave as he wants, there are so many things that he has to deal with every day.
The winter wheat has been planted in the field, and every few days someone goes to water the field.Now a large pit is dug every ten meters on the edge of the mountain to store water. When watering the ground, just throw the pipe into the pit, and then press the mouth of the pipe with your hand, and the water will start to scatter around. Compared with using buckets to carry water in the past I don't know how much more convenient it is.
"Xiao Mumu, why are you still here? You have guests at home."
Xia Meng from the same village ran over. He was two years older than Xia Mu and was a distant cousin.
"guest?"
Xia Mu was stunned, what kind of guests could come at this time?
The vegetables in the field are all bought, except for some vegetables that have not yet grown, only the wheat seedlings that have just emerged in the field are left.
"Yes, yes, he is a very good-looking man!"
Xia Meng also compared the opponent's height, and Xia Mu's eyes lit up immediately.
"Brother Meng, help me get it."
In addition to taking notes, Xia Mu also carried a basket on his back when he went up the mountain. At this time, he didn't care about carrying the basket. There was also firewood he had picked up in the basket.
This thing is relatively heavy, and it is inconvenient to carry it on the back, so I asked Xia Meng to do it.
"Hello~"
Xia Meng, who was thrown down, had no choice but to carry the basket on his back. This dead wood did not forget to collect firewood when he went out to work. Obviously, the firewood behind his new house was piled up several stories high.
It's Ah Ju, it must be Ah Ju.
Xia Mu thought all the way, the person Xia Meng described was very familiar to him, and it must not be someone else.After waiting for half a year, Chen Ju finally arranged everything in the capital, and the two of them no longer had to miss each other in different places.
Xia Mu ran very fast, because he was too excited, his foot slipped accidentally, and he almost didn't fall.But even so, Xia Mu felt a pain in his left ankle.
Oops, I sprained my foot.
Xia Mu just paused, and still limped towards Grandpa Xia's house.His manor has only been renovated for a month, and it will take another month for people to live in it, just in time for the Chinese New Year.
Missing Chen Ju made him run regardless of his injuries. In the past few months, except for phone calls and occasional videos, they have never met in real life. Not only Chen Ju kept talking about him on the phone, Xia Mu Think the same.I remember that during the time when I just came back, Xia Mu would wake up in the middle of the night every day, and after waking up, he instinctively touched the empty seat beside him.
It's a pity that every time I feel empty, the loss in my heart is indescribable, and the whole heart seems to be missing a piece.Now that the piece he lacked came, how could Xia Mu hold it back.So he limped back to the village like this, and when he entered the village, he saw the luxury car surrounded by everyone, and naturally he also saw the man standing in front of the luxury car.
Among a group of ordinary people, he stands out so much that he can be recognized from a distance.
"Ah Ju."
Xia Mu's voice was not loud, and Chen Ju, who was surrounded by a group of people, could not hear it logically. The main reason was that there was a lot of noise around him, and Xia Mu's quiet voice could not be heard.But strangely, when Xia Mu entered the village, Chen Ju felt a feeling in his heart, and that feeling made him instinctively look to a certain place, so he found Xia Mu standing at the entrance of the village all at once.
"Xiaomu."
Chen Ju ran over and hugged him.Of course, no one wants to be wrong, just think that friends have not seen each other for a long time and hug each other. This also happens in rural areas, and it is not a strange behavior.
"Ah Ju, you are finally here."
Xia Mu stretched out his hand and tightly strangled Chen Ju, his eyes were sour. After parting, he realized that he had fallen in love with this man a long time ago. Although his personality was very strange, and he even mistaken him for a psychopath at one point, but he was just so weird. A man of his has taken possession of his heart.It is said that not seeing each other every day is like three autumns. They don't know how many autumns it has been.
"Yes, here I am."
Holding his lover in his arms, Chen Ju felt his body was much thinner than when he left, and Chen Ju felt distressed for a while.He regrets it now, if he had come along regardless of everything, even though he would have been very tired, he would not have made Xiao Mu thinner, and there was no meat that he had managed to raise.
"Amu~"
The grandfather stood in front of the house and called his grandson, and the two had to separate.
"grandfather."
Xia Mu took Chen Ju's hand and walked towards Grandpa Xia, but Chen Ju stopped him just as he took a step.
"What happened to your foot?"
Chen Ju's face was so dark, it was enough for him to feel distressed when Xiao Mu lost weight, but he didn't expect that Xiao Mu was also injured.
"I just slipped and twisted my foot, it's fine."
At this moment, Xia Mu remembered that his foot was injured, and at the same time, a pain came from his ankle.
"Nonsense, why are you all right? You can't even walk steadily, and you still say you're all right?"
Chen Ju was so angry that he almost didn't yell, but he couldn't yell at Xia Mu's face.
"Come up."
Going up to Xia Mu and squatting down, it is actually better to hug him, but he has to take into account the feelings of the people in Xiashang Village and Grandpa Xia.
"I said it's fine."
Xia Mu looked left and right, and found that everyone in the village looked at them with curious eyes!With a slight smile on his face, he was not too embarrassed.
"hurry up."
Chen Ju's patience wasn't very good at all, and his tone was naturally a bit more serious when he was rejected by Xia Mu, but Xia Mu still could hear the worry in his tone.
"All right!"
Xia Mu lay on his stomach, and Chen Ju stood up immediately. Carrying a big man like Xia Mu on his back didn't bother him at all, it was very easy.After all this, Xia Mu had no choice but to bury his face on Chen Ju's back, ignoring the eyes of the villagers and the ignorant laughter of the children.
"what happened?"
When Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia saw their grandson being carried on their backs, how could they not know that something happened to their grandson, and the two elders rushed over, their movements and speed were not much faster than those of young people.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm fine, I just sprained my foot."
Xia Mu hurriedly comforted the two of them, it would be bad if they got sick in a hurry.
The villagers also looked at Xia Mu curiously. As the person who has attracted the most attention in Xiashang Village in the past year, Xia Mu not only rented out several mountains in Xiashang Village, but also built a large manor, which can make Xiashang Village Some people are envious, and say that college students are different, and they can earn so much money just after graduation.For a while, the learning atmosphere in Xiashang Village became strict, and the parents stared at their children even more fiercely, and now they can't even be lazy.
"A sprained ankle? I'll go find your third uncle, he will bruise."
Grandma Xia turned around and walked towards a certain family in the village, Xia Mu didn't even have time to stop her.
"Actually, Ah Ju will too."
Xia Mu Shanshan said, Chen Ju was often injured when he was a child, and after a long illness he became a good doctor, not to mention that he himself went to learn bone setting, and ordinary sprains were left to Chen Ju, who knew that grandma's reaction was so fast, he didn't have time to tell.
"fine."
With Xia Mu on his back, Chen Ju nodded to Grandpa Xia.
"Young man, that's my home, let me send my grandson home!"
Grandpa Xia has a good impression of Chen Ju, not to mention that he is a friend of his grandson, even if Xia Mu sprained his ankle and back, Grandpa Xia will not hate him even if he thinks his attitude towards his grandson is a bit wrong .But the relationship between this young man and his little grandson is really good enough, so he would squat down and carry Xia Mu regardless of his famous brand.
"it is good."
Chen Ju didn't let go of Xia Mu's box, and it was really hard to believe that he was the president of a large group company with his rambunctious appearance.
"Didn't we agree?"
Xia Mu squatted beside Chen Ju, stroking his face with one hand.
"But I miss you."
Chen Ju grabbed his hand, put it in front of his mouth and kissed it again and again, even if it was agreed, he still didn't want to part with it!
"I'll go back and get those things done, and when you're done here, go to my hometown to find me, and I want you to see my achievements."
The land in my hometown is almost done. What can be planted has already been planted, and what can't be planted has been well fertilized. I will wait until next spring to plant again.Not only that, but Xia Mu also asked them to dig a large lotus pond for him on the land where he left to build the manor, in which lotus roots will be planted, and fresh lotus roots and lotus seeds can be eaten in autumn.
"……I see."
Of course, Chen Ju understands the man around him.As a man, he will have ambition and professionalism, he can't trap Xia Mu by his side, it's unfair to Xia Mu.He has made a name for himself by being successful, isn't Xia Mu allowed to develop his own career?
"Okay, dear Ah Ju, you have to take me to the airport, or I won't be able to catch the plane."
Xia Mu kissed his face, in fact, he was also very reluctant!But there are gains and losses, and he doesn't want to be a man who has always relied on Ah Ju, and he also has his own ambitions to achieve.
"You have to wait for me, and I will go to you after I have settled the matter here."
Chen Ju's head office is in the capital, which is more prosperous than Shu Province, and it is also the most beneficial for his development. After all, the Chen family can be said to be a very prestigious family in the capital, and will give him the green light in many aspects of the capital. Few people dare to get stuck on things to do.But going to Shu Province is different. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the strong dragon can't overwhelm the local snake.So even if he handles it well, he has to come back one day a week to process the documents that can only be signed by him.Fortunately, there is a plane from Xiaomu's hometown to the capital, which is very convenient.
"nature."
Xia Mu nodded.
The two didn't say a word on the way to the airport, but their hands never separated.Xia Mu leaned on Chen Ju's shoulder, this time they will not be able to see each other for at least several months.
When entering the waiting room, Xia Mu turned his head three times at a step, while Chen Ju kept standing and waving.
It wasn't until the airport's announcement sounded that Xia Mu turned his head cruelly and went in.As for Chen Ju behind him, he slowly withdrew his gaze until he was out of sight.
Chen Ju asked his secretary to buy a business class ticket for Xia Mu. As soon as Xia Mu boarded the plane, he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. Except for opening his eyes after drinking water in the middle, the stewardess had never seen this handsome man open his eyes at other times. Eye.This made the stewardess very frustrated, it was rare to meet a handsome guy with a masculine temperament.
The two-hour flight passed quickly, and Xia Mu got off the plane with his luggage. There was already someone holding a sign with his name at the pick-up place. This was Chen Ju's assistant arranged for him in Shu Province.
Not only that, Chen Ju also arranged for a driver and bought him a modified Land Rover in Shu Province as a car.
"Take me home first."
"Yes, Master Mu."
The assistant is Chen Ju's, but he respects Xia Mu more than Chen Ju.Everyone in the Juwang Group knows that if they offend the boss, at most they will be scolded and deducted a month's salary, but if they offend Xia Mu, the wife of the president, they can only obediently get out of the Juwang Group, and they will also be punished by the Juwang Group. blow.
"Mom and Dad." Xia Mu ran home as soon as he got out of the car.
Xia's father and Xia's mother stuck their heads out of the window when they heard Xia Mu's voice.
"Amu~"
Xia's mother wiped her hands on the apron, and hurriedly opened the door and ran downstairs.
Xia Mu's speed was not slow, and he quickly ran to the floor where they lived. At this time, Xia Mu had just run to the stairs, and Xia Mu was followed by the assistant and the driver who were dragging luggage.
Xia Mu hugged Xia Ma: "Mom, I'm back."
During the Chinese New Year, Xia Mu was left in the capital by Chen Ju and did not come back. At that time, he was using it for an internship.So Xia's father and Xia's mother haven't seen their youngest son for a whole year, saying that they don't want it to be fake, otherwise Xia's mother wouldn't be so excited.
"Stinky boy, are you finally willing to come back?"
Dad Xia stood at the door, staring at him.
"Dad~~"
Xia Mu let go of Xia's mother and rushed towards Xia's father.Although Dad Xia's face was dark, he looked at his son who was rushing towards him and reached out to catch him.
"You are finally back, don't you know if we will miss you?"
This is the longest time Dad Xia and Mom Xia have been separated from their youngest son, so they miss this caring little son very much.
"sorry."
With a man who forgot his parents, Xia Mu felt very ashamed.He planned to come back for the Chinese New Year, but Ah Ju said that since they met, the two hadn't celebrated the Spring Festival together. In order to let him stay for the Spring Festival, Chen Ju started to tangle with him from Dongyue until he was on vacation.In the end, he succeeded, so Xia Mu didn't come back during the Chinese New Year last year.
Being dragged into the house by Xia's mother, Xia's father greeted the assistant and the driver to enter the house.
The two entered the floor after a while of modesty. Xia's father wanted to take the luggage in their hands but was refused. You can't let Young Master Mu's father carry the luggage. If the tyrant finds out, they will all be shot and killed by King Ju.
"What's your surname, gentlemen? Thank you for sending Amu back. Please drink tea."
As soon as Xia's mother dragged her son into the upper floor, she hurried to make tea. This is the tea that Xia Mu sent back to them. It is said that it costs thousands of yuan a tael!It's too expensive, and the old couple are reluctant to drink it.Today, when guests came, they took it out to entertain them. Usually, the old couple only drank it once a week, because they were afraid that they would run out of drinks.
"Mom, you haven't finished your tea yet?"
This time, Xia Mu also helped his parents bring back tea, which was brought by Chen Ju to his parents-in-law. With the money he earned, he couldn't afford to drink thousands of dollars a tael of tea.
"How can your father and I be willing to drink such expensive tea?"
Xia's mother rolled her eyes at her son, one or two thousand yuan, the total is only half a catty, so I have to save some drinks.
"..."
Xia Mu lowered his head guiltily, the tea he drank in the capital was better than this one, and he never thought that it would be enough, he even rubbed the Dahongpao with the old man twice!Still on the mother tree.It's a pity that the portion is too small, even with Mr. Chen's status, he can only get a little bit.If the old man hadn't seen him happy, he wouldn't be willing to take it out to drink. You must know that the mother tree is no longer allowed to pick tea, so the old man's hand is already the last stock.
He couldn't get the Dahongpao, even if Chen Ju spent a lot of money, he only got a little bit, and gave it all to Mr. Chen.However, there is no shortage of other good teas in the Chen family. This time he brought back a lot of top quality teas, West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Maofeng and Junshan Yinzhen, all of which are the top ten famous teas in Huaguo.Some were bought by Chen Ju himself, and some were given away by others. In the end, Chen Ju divided them into two parts, one for the old man and one for Xia Mu to please his parents-in-law.
"By the way, I haven't asked your two names yet!"
Dad Xia took some sunflower seeds snacks to entertain the assistant and the driver, and the two were flattered by his kind attitude.
"My surname is Tan, and I'm Young Master Mu's assistant." Assistant Tan took the kill from Xia's father with both hands. Fortunately, the boss is not here today, otherwise they would have been stared to death.How dare you let the boss's parents-in-law make tea for them, you want to die, don't you?
"I'm the driver, my surname is Gu."
The driver hastily took it with his hands again. Even though he is just a driver, he also likes to drink tea. No matter the aroma or color of this tea, it is definitely good tea. With his salary, he usually only dares to look at such tea.
"son?"
Xia's father and Xia's mother looked at Xia Mu suspiciously, when will their son be able to hire assistants and drivers.
"I'm running a farm now, and I have to go to many places. I can't do without a car and an assistant."
Xia Mu didn't hide the matter of running the farm from his parents, but he told them that he had a partner, otherwise how could he have so much money.You must know that except for the manor, the entire farm is almost under construction, and the funds are in place in one step. Even if Xia Mu said that the funds were all his own, no one would believe them.
And the fact is the same, he and Chen Ju each contributed 500 million, so the manor is recorded in their names.But considering that the operator of this manor is Xia Mu, so he holds 50.00% of the shares, while Chen Ju holds 40.00% of the shares.
"Oh~~~"
Xia's father and Xia's mother didn't think much about it. Now his son is also the owner of a farm, and he really needs the help of assistants and drivers to deal with some usual things.So a chance to know the truth let Dad Xia and the others let it go like this. When they think about it later, don't mention how much regret they have in their hearts. I will ask a few more questions, but unfortunately the most indispensable thing in this world is to know early.
After sending off Assistant Tan and Driver Gu, they actually lived in another community not far from Xia's house, and they would appear in front of Xia Mu within 5 minutes if Xia Mu needed a phone call.
"Are you coming back this time?"
Without outsiders, Xia's father and Xia's mother began to face up to this youngest who had a completely different temperament from a few years ago.
"Occasionally, I will leave and go to the capital to do business."
They can't just let Chen Ju stay in Shu Province forever, they still have to go back to see Mr. Chen and the others!
"Does that mean you live at home most of the time?"
Xia's mother's eyes lit up, the eldest son was not at home and there was no way to take him on a blind date, but the younger son was different, he also just graduated from university, and it was time to get married and have children.She has been thinking about holding a grandson for several years, but unfortunately Xia Shu has not been able to make her wish come true.
"I live on a farm."
When the manor is repaired, he will move in.But why mother's eyes are shining with green light, there is a feeling of being calculated.
"You can also accompany me to live in the farm. It's fine to come back to clean the house once in a while in the city."
As for the shop, it was originally set up, so there was no need to worry about it.
"is this okay?"
Xia's father's heart moved. In fact, he and Xia's mother have long wanted to go back to the countryside. Although everything is convenient in the city, it is not as comfortable as the countryside, and everything is expensive.But when they went back to the countryside, they didn't have a house. Although the eldest brother and the others said that after a hundred years from Grandpa Xia and the others, the house they lived in would go to Father Xia after paying half of the money to Uncle Xia, but it is not convenient to live in now. It won't sound good to be told to eat and use Grandpa Xia's.
"Why not? It's inconvenient to live at Grandpa's house. Why can't we live in the manor I built?"
Xia Mu's household registration is still in the countryside, so he can apply for a homestead in the village.This time, I directly applied for the homestead. Of course, my brother and his parents also applied for it. We just reserved it first, and it would not be too late to repair it after my brother saved enough money.With a homestead for three people, the house that can be repaired in this way is much larger.
As for the manor, it was built under three mountains, covering an area as large as several Xia family's homesteads.
The manor was built in the pattern of a courtyard, divided into a front yard and a back yard.And they are all in the style of two floors, so that not only the space is wide, but also the rooms are more.The front yard is used as a hotel, and the back yard is where Xia Mu and Chen Ju live, and idlers are not allowed to enter.
Of course, Xia Mu also reserved a room for his family. The backyard was divided into three parts, one main courtyard and two small courtyards. Because the younger generation should not be partial, the elders on both sides should be taken into account.
Although the manor looks antique on the outside, the inside of the room is very modern, especially the water heater, which uses solar energy.Moreover, three wells were drilled in the front and back yards of the house, and the water in two of them was more delicious than the well water in other places. It was warm in winter and cool in summer, and it was sweet to drink.
"These two wells are sweet water wells, and they are probably drilled in the same groundwater location."
Grandpa Xia drank water from a well. Their Xiashang Village is the place with the least water shortage in the surrounding countryside. The mountain springs, groundwater and river water have never been completely dry even during the severe drought.The surrounding villages often come to Xiashang Village to ask for water when there is a shortage of water. Every time there is a severe drought, Xiashang Village does not know how many people have been saved.
"Hahaha~ Grandpa's ability to see water through the soil has not deteriorated at all!"
Xia Mu also took a sip, and it tasted the same as the sweet water well in the village, and it was delicious.This kind of water quality is absolutely superior, and it contains many minerals.
"That's right, this ability is the guy I ate when I was young."
Grandpa Xia squinted. Back then, he relied on this skill to support his children. Even in the most difficult years, he didn't let the children go hungry.It is impossible for a person not to drink water, as long as he needs to drink water, he needs to dig a well, and he has supported a large family with this ability.It's just that when he got older, he couldn't continue to travel around, otherwise he wouldn't be unable to get money when the old woman was sick and borrowed a whole lot of debt.
"The house is now built and is being renovated. The water used by the construction team is taken from this non-sweet well, and the draft water can be drawn from the sweet well."
Xia Mu drilled three wells in consideration of draft and water use, and in order to prevent the two sweet water wells from being polluted, all water was directly poured into the swamp from the sewer.Except for the flower beds reserved for planting flowers, all the other open spaces in the yard are tiled so that when it rains, there will be no muddy feet.
"That's good, otherwise you won't be able to separate food from use, and this sweet water well will eventually dry up."
After all, the little grandson's front yard is a hotel, and there are many people coming and going, so we can't separate them.Not only that, but the water pipes in each room are connected to the non-sweet well, so they are completely separated.
And this mouth of the sweet water well is usually placed with stone slabs, not for fear of people stealing it, but for fear of children falling into it.In order to store water, the well was drilled very deep, and it was [-]% dead if it fell.So usually everyone only uses water pipes to collect water, and the manhole cover is not allowed to be taken down.
The same is true for the well in the back, but there is a difference in that there is a special reservoir in the backyard, and the water in the pool comes from the mountains, which is a veritable mountain spring.It can be eaten or used to make tea.Xia Mu also planned to use the mountain spring water to sell, and put it in small buckets, and a bucket of water cost ten yuan.Those in the city should be very happy to buy it. Ten yuan is not too little but not too much, and a bucket of water can feed a family of three for two or three days, and the average price of drinking mountain spring water for a month is more than three yuan per day. , the average family can afford it.
Compared with the tap water in the city, I believe that anyone who is not so picky will choose mountain spring water.Xia Mu also plans to take the water to test, and when the time comes to sell the water and show it to the customers, at least they will feel relieved.
Don't say that Xia Mu is traitorous, selling the worthless mountain spring water in the village.And Xia Mu didn't ask for the money himself, he planned to use the money to build roads for the people in the village, especially the dirt road to the village.Every time it rains, there is no way for cars to run on this road, and we can only rely on people to walk one by one, which is very hard.
Now he can use the money to repair it, but he can't let the people in the village take it for granted.Therefore, the water fee is regarded as the repayment of the villagers, but the installment period may be a bit long, because it is not known when it will be repaid.But for Xia Mu, the goal is achieved, let the villagers know that there is no free lunch in this world.
Of course, the village will not bear all the installment payments for the road repairs, because the summer wood used to repair the road to the manor must be more than the villagers, so he will bear a large part, and the village will bear a small part.In this way, the time for selling water to repay the loan is not as long as expected. After the repayment is completed, the villagers can also sell water as a source of income for the village.
But before all the money is repaid, the villagers are not allowed to sell water privately. This is the decision of the entire Xiashang Village.
After Xia Mu and the village signed the agreement, they asked the construction team to start building the road the next day.It turned out that he had already arranged that the road construction to the countryside would cost about one million yuan, and Xia Mu would bear 100 yuan for the 80 million yuan, and Xiashang Village would bear 20 yuan.
20 sounds like a lot, but they don't need to take out the money, it's just that they can't sell it when Xia Mu wants to sell water, and when the money is paid off, no one will care if they want to sell it, so this deal is a good deal.
Of course it's a bargain!Originally, Xia Mu wanted to do something for the village, but he didn't want them to develop the habit of taking it for granted. He felt that Xia Mu should pay more money, so he came up with this idea.
Besides, once his manor is built, there will be more people coming and going, and the villagers can set up a farmhouse by themselves. As long as the cooking skills are not too bad and the hygiene at home is good, I believe there are many people Would love to get a taste of farm life.
While building the road, he waited for the manor to be built.Now that the main body has been built almost, it only needs to be aired to find someone to decorate it, and it should be able to move in before the Chinese New Year.Many of the furniture in the manor are made of cypress trees. There are many such trees in their place, and they are also the wood that people here often choose.
Only Xia Mu in the backyard used rosewood, and Chen Ju took the money.Originally, he chose elm, but he turned his back on it, and then arranged for someone to send a batch of furniture made of red rosewood.Including the beds they slept in were all made with red acid techniques. Considering the status of the Xia family, Chen Ju didn't make it that complicated, it was an ordinary canopy bed.
Every room in the front yard is furnished in the same way, only three rooms have been converted into suites, and the price is of course much more expensive than ordinary rooms.Xia Mu in the front yard didn't spend much thought, only every room in the back yard was decorated by Xia Mu.Although the furnishings inside are ordinary, it is exquisite and interesting.
Xia Mu, who was busy arranging the room, naturally didn't have time to take care of the work in the field, so he had to ask Grandpa Xia to help watch over it. Grandpa Xia knew more about weeding or planting than he did.Fortunately, nothing has been planted in the field this year. The main thing is to clear out a few mountains and start planting next year.
When Xia Mu's manor is finished, it will be almost the end of the year.And the first batch of agricultural products in the field also came out. Xia Mu had already negotiated the price with one or two supermarkets, and they sent a car to buy the crops as soon as they came out.
However, most of this batch is vegetables, mainly because the season is not right, so we have to grow some vegetables.Fortunately, the road was repaired, and it was convenient for the car to come in, and it drove directly to the foot of the mountain, and it couldn't be easier to load the car.
Looking at the basically formed manor, the alpine fields are divided piece by piece, and it feels like a rural village more than ten years ago.
It used to be that the whole mountain consisted of weeds except for the shrubs. Now the weeds were cleared and burned to ashes to make fertilizer, and the shrubs were cut down and dried in the sun to be used as firewood.Compared with the meals cooked with gas and biogas, it is better to cook with firewood.For this reason, Xia Mu also specially built a firewood shed next to the manor. It is just a shed, but it is very large, and it contains shrubs and unused trees cut from the mountain.Except for the trees, the shrubs are all standing on the edge of the ground, so the roots are not dug up, and they will grow every year, so don't worry about not having to cut them down later.
As for soil erosion, there is no need to worry. There are many trees on the mountain, and most of them have been preserved.He also hired people from the village to go up the mountain to plant trees every day, and some of these trees are fruit trees, and some of them can be used as wood. Those wild saplings that the old man dug back from other mountains and fields are only half the height of a person.
These trees grow slower than cypress, but are good wood.After a few years on the mountain, it will grow to a large scale, which is also an income.Every year, Xiamu arranges people to plant trees, so that the trees on the mountain can also form a good cycle.It is also an income for the villagers, because both planting and felling trees require people, and Xia Mu has never been stingy about wages.
"Amu, come to patrol the mountain again?"
Generally, saplings are planted in winter, and there is not much work in winter. Many people from Xiashang Village on the mountain have come.One yuan per tree is not much, but it is quite easy for the villagers who are idle at home to plant more than ten or twenty trees a day.It's just that it's hard to find saplings. Except for fruit trees and those trees that can become useful, other trees and summer trees are not needed.
"Yeah, I have two plots of land to plant grapes in a few days, so you guys can help me then!"
The grape seedlings have already been ordered, and they will all be brought back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.There are three mountains, the first one is dedicated to growing crops, the second one is for growing fruits and vegetables, and the third one is for grazing.As for the fields at the foot of the mountain, they were used to grow food. When Xia Mu built the mountain, the fields at the foot of the mountain were also covered, and the entire Xiashang Village paid extra money for it.Xia Mu made a one-time contract for 70 years and paid the village for three years first.
"Okay, when the time comes, you can ask the village chief to yell on the horn, and we will go there by ourselves."
One winter, most of the villagers in Xiashang Village earned thousands of yuan. Compared with the past when they were idle at home and had nothing to do but play cards, they could earn some money this year.
"Okay, you guys pay attention to the horn!"
Xia Mu took a look, and there were many trees planted on the mountain. After returning the farmland to the forest, there were basically no people planting the few mountains, but the trees that were planted were also nourished because no one took care of them. bad.What makes Xia Mu most depressed is that these trees are all mulberry trees.
"Forget it, you can keep it. At worst, I will raise silkworms. Anyway, Guocheng already produces silk. As long as my silkworms are well raised, no one will want them."
Xia Mu recorded the land planted with mulberry trees in the notebook that he carried with him. Although he decided to keep it, not all of them should be kept. species.
Except for a few parts that haven't been planned yet, most of them have already been planned, and the unplanned part is because Xia Mu doesn't know what to do, so let's keep it for now, in case there is nothing to do later and it will be cheating.
At the same time, the farm’s first crop of grain has already been planted. Of course, the people who farm the land are skilled farmers in Xiashang Village. Xia Mu hires them to do part-time work. Anyone who does not do well will not be hired in the future, so the villagers of Xiashang Village should do their best, and they are afraid that there will be no extra money to earn in the future.
"Hi, I'm Xia Mu. Alright, I see, you can send them over in the next year! Well, okay, it's troublesome. The money is easy to talk about, but you have to make sure that there are no sick cows. I will return all the sick cows."
Xia Mu told the person on the phone that this is a ranch in the north, Xia Mu ordered [-] cows, [-] sheep and [-] horses with them.After turning over, it will be sent to Xiashang Village. After almost a year of breeding, the mountain specially used for breeding has been covered with grass, which is alfalfa.This is good forage and will grow again next year as long as the roots are not dug up.
This thing can be harvested and dried to feed cattle, sheep and pigs in winter. It is said that it can also be eaten as wild vegetables. It tastes pretty good.
As for saying that people who eat cattle and sheep cannot eat it, Xia Mu said that sweet potato leaves are still eaten by pigs, how can anyone eat them?As long as you treat people well, what is Guan it used for?Compared with vegetables grown with pesticides, this alfalfa is absolutely free of pesticides, and it is fresh even for an occasional meal.
"Amu~~I'm home for dinner~~"
Standing on the mountain, Xia Mu couldn't help laughing when he heard the cry from the bottom of the mountain.
"I see~~~"
He also yelled back loudly, but the sound stopped.I looked at the time, no wonder grandpa called him, it was already 12:30.
Patting the dust off his body, Xia Mu walked down the mountain road.Although no one has walked it for many years, this mountain road still exists. After all, the road that has been walked for tens of hundreds of years is not so easy to be invaded by weeds and shrubs.
"Grandpa, how many people in our village still raise silkworms?"
Xia Mu held the bowl and asked while eating, the potato stew specially made for him by the old man, the potatoes were succulent and meaty.
"There are two other households, but they don't raise many."
Grandpa Xia thought about it. In the past, the whole village raised silkworms, but later all the young people went out to work. Naturally, there were fewer people raising silkworms. The old people were too busy working in the fields, so how could they have time to raise silkworms?
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, this mulberry tree will definitely not work next year, let's talk about it next year!"
Xia Mu dug the rice into his mouth with a few mouthfuls, wiped his mouth and went up the mountain to work again.He has been so busy recently that he even changed the time to call Chen Ju from the morning, noon and night to before going to bed at night, and he has been gone for almost half a year, and I don't know if he has fixed it.It doesn't seem like a good thing for the company to grow big, at least Chen Ju can't leave as he wants, there are so many things that he has to deal with every day.
The winter wheat has been planted in the field, and every few days someone goes to water the field.Now a large pit is dug every ten meters on the edge of the mountain to store water. When watering the ground, just throw the pipe into the pit, and then press the mouth of the pipe with your hand, and the water will start to scatter around. Compared with using buckets to carry water in the past I don't know how much more convenient it is.
"Xiao Mumu, why are you still here? You have guests at home."
Xia Meng from the same village ran over. He was two years older than Xia Mu and was a distant cousin.
"guest?"
Xia Mu was stunned, what kind of guests could come at this time?
The vegetables in the field are all bought, except for some vegetables that have not yet grown, only the wheat seedlings that have just emerged in the field are left.
"Yes, yes, he is a very good-looking man!"
Xia Meng also compared the opponent's height, and Xia Mu's eyes lit up immediately.
"Brother Meng, help me get it."
In addition to taking notes, Xia Mu also carried a basket on his back when he went up the mountain. At this time, he didn't care about carrying the basket. There was also firewood he had picked up in the basket.
This thing is relatively heavy, and it is inconvenient to carry it on the back, so I asked Xia Meng to do it.
"Hello~"
Xia Meng, who was thrown down, had no choice but to carry the basket on his back. This dead wood did not forget to collect firewood when he went out to work. Obviously, the firewood behind his new house was piled up several stories high.
It's Ah Ju, it must be Ah Ju.
Xia Mu thought all the way, the person Xia Meng described was very familiar to him, and it must not be someone else.After waiting for half a year, Chen Ju finally arranged everything in the capital, and the two of them no longer had to miss each other in different places.
Xia Mu ran very fast, because he was too excited, his foot slipped accidentally, and he almost didn't fall.But even so, Xia Mu felt a pain in his left ankle.
Oops, I sprained my foot.
Xia Mu just paused, and still limped towards Grandpa Xia's house.His manor has only been renovated for a month, and it will take another month for people to live in it, just in time for the Chinese New Year.
Missing Chen Ju made him run regardless of his injuries. In the past few months, except for phone calls and occasional videos, they have never met in real life. Not only Chen Ju kept talking about him on the phone, Xia Mu Think the same.I remember that during the time when I just came back, Xia Mu would wake up in the middle of the night every day, and after waking up, he instinctively touched the empty seat beside him.
It's a pity that every time I feel empty, the loss in my heart is indescribable, and the whole heart seems to be missing a piece.Now that the piece he lacked came, how could Xia Mu hold it back.So he limped back to the village like this, and when he entered the village, he saw the luxury car surrounded by everyone, and naturally he also saw the man standing in front of the luxury car.
Among a group of ordinary people, he stands out so much that he can be recognized from a distance.
"Ah Ju."
Xia Mu's voice was not loud, and Chen Ju, who was surrounded by a group of people, could not hear it logically. The main reason was that there was a lot of noise around him, and Xia Mu's quiet voice could not be heard.But strangely, when Xia Mu entered the village, Chen Ju felt a feeling in his heart, and that feeling made him instinctively look to a certain place, so he found Xia Mu standing at the entrance of the village all at once.
"Xiaomu."
Chen Ju ran over and hugged him.Of course, no one wants to be wrong, just think that friends have not seen each other for a long time and hug each other. This also happens in rural areas, and it is not a strange behavior.
"Ah Ju, you are finally here."
Xia Mu stretched out his hand and tightly strangled Chen Ju, his eyes were sour. After parting, he realized that he had fallen in love with this man a long time ago. Although his personality was very strange, and he even mistaken him for a psychopath at one point, but he was just so weird. A man of his has taken possession of his heart.It is said that not seeing each other every day is like three autumns. They don't know how many autumns it has been.
"Yes, here I am."
Holding his lover in his arms, Chen Ju felt his body was much thinner than when he left, and Chen Ju felt distressed for a while.He regrets it now, if he had come along regardless of everything, even though he would have been very tired, he would not have made Xiao Mu thinner, and there was no meat that he had managed to raise.
"Amu~"
The grandfather stood in front of the house and called his grandson, and the two had to separate.
"grandfather."
Xia Mu took Chen Ju's hand and walked towards Grandpa Xia, but Chen Ju stopped him just as he took a step.
"What happened to your foot?"
Chen Ju's face was so dark, it was enough for him to feel distressed when Xiao Mu lost weight, but he didn't expect that Xiao Mu was also injured.
"I just slipped and twisted my foot, it's fine."
At this moment, Xia Mu remembered that his foot was injured, and at the same time, a pain came from his ankle.
"Nonsense, why are you all right? You can't even walk steadily, and you still say you're all right?"
Chen Ju was so angry that he almost didn't yell, but he couldn't yell at Xia Mu's face.
"Come up."
Going up to Xia Mu and squatting down, it is actually better to hug him, but he has to take into account the feelings of the people in Xiashang Village and Grandpa Xia.
"I said it's fine."
Xia Mu looked left and right, and found that everyone in the village looked at them with curious eyes!With a slight smile on his face, he was not too embarrassed.
"hurry up."
Chen Ju's patience wasn't very good at all, and his tone was naturally a bit more serious when he was rejected by Xia Mu, but Xia Mu still could hear the worry in his tone.
"All right!"
Xia Mu lay on his stomach, and Chen Ju stood up immediately. Carrying a big man like Xia Mu on his back didn't bother him at all, it was very easy.After all this, Xia Mu had no choice but to bury his face on Chen Ju's back, ignoring the eyes of the villagers and the ignorant laughter of the children.
"what happened?"
When Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia saw their grandson being carried on their backs, how could they not know that something happened to their grandson, and the two elders rushed over, their movements and speed were not much faster than those of young people.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm fine, I just sprained my foot."
Xia Mu hurriedly comforted the two of them, it would be bad if they got sick in a hurry.
The villagers also looked at Xia Mu curiously. As the person who has attracted the most attention in Xiashang Village in the past year, Xia Mu not only rented out several mountains in Xiashang Village, but also built a large manor, which can make Xiashang Village Some people are envious, and say that college students are different, and they can earn so much money just after graduation.For a while, the learning atmosphere in Xiashang Village became strict, and the parents stared at their children even more fiercely, and now they can't even be lazy.
"A sprained ankle? I'll go find your third uncle, he will bruise."
Grandma Xia turned around and walked towards a certain family in the village, Xia Mu didn't even have time to stop her.
"Actually, Ah Ju will too."
Xia Mu Shanshan said, Chen Ju was often injured when he was a child, and after a long illness he became a good doctor, not to mention that he himself went to learn bone setting, and ordinary sprains were left to Chen Ju, who knew that grandma's reaction was so fast, he didn't have time to tell.
"fine."
With Xia Mu on his back, Chen Ju nodded to Grandpa Xia.
"Young man, that's my home, let me send my grandson home!"
Grandpa Xia has a good impression of Chen Ju, not to mention that he is a friend of his grandson, even if Xia Mu sprained his ankle and back, Grandpa Xia will not hate him even if he thinks his attitude towards his grandson is a bit wrong .But the relationship between this young man and his little grandson is really good enough, so he would squat down and carry Xia Mu regardless of his famous brand.
"it is good."
