Rebirth of the 90s: Dear Cub
Chapter 22: Poor People in Xizhong Village Do Something
The good news in the sweet potato field is spreading rapidly.
The entire Taoxi Village was filled with excitement and excitement.
The villagers initially thought that this was an unexpected joy, but they did not expect that there would be a second shockwave waiting for them.
Most of the watermelon in Taoxi Village is grown in the mountains, concentrated on the hillside behind the village.
Picking melons is a tricky job, and you have to pick them gently, and you have to work hard to bring them in the middle, so the adults in the watermelon fields are all working in the watermelon fields, you know, you know, and children are basically not taken .
I was worried that the children would be careless, and accidentally drop the melon and crack it.
It was a melon that sold for 50 cents, and no one wanted to waste it.
After working all morning, the elders sat by the ground to rest for a while when they were tired, and did not return home. After the break, they continued to work. As for lunch, brought by mothers at home.
It can save time and do more work.
"I saw this year's watermelon grow quite well. Basically, there are two to three kati each. The melon pattern is also beautiful. After working hard for a long time, I've never seen one with a crooked butt."
The old village head sat down with several older brothers, smoking a dry cigarette, and the wrinkles on his old face stretched.
"I just said that I plucked melons all morning, and I always thought it was weird! In the past, there were at least dozens of melons with crooked buttocks on an acre of land, but I didn't see a single one of them this morning. !" The old man next to him clapped his hands, and suddenly regained his senses.
There is also humanity, "Did you find that the melon this time has a uniform and clear pattern, and the color is not the same as in previous years. The melon was green and transparent, and looked like jade!"
"What kind of jade, people call it emerald, green emerald!"
"Aren't jade and emeralds the same thing? Hey, why are you serious about me? All I want to say is our melons this year look good! It's pretty!"
The old village chief was overjoyed, "What is there to debate? Anyway, that's a good thing. Sweet potatoes are harvesting, and we can't miss a watermelon!"
The old man next to him said, "Look at what you said, they all grew up on their own, why did you win or lose the fight between yam and watermelon?"
The entire hillside suddenly laughed out loud, and drifted far away.
In the watermelon field in the middle of the hillside, the young girl with braids smiled and said, "His melon looks good, but I don't know what it's like. Dad, why don't we open it and try it? I've been working a long time and I'm thirsty." "
This was Chen Jian and his daughter Taohua.
Chen Jianhe was picking up a watermelon in the basket when she heard those words and cursed, "You're just greedy."
Pause, "Open two, give a taste to the old village chief and some of your uncles and uncles."
"okay!"
Tao Hua replied, taking off the pocket knife from his trouser belt, taking out the watermelon and directly opening it.
With a light sweep of the blade, the watermelon easily split apart, and with a crackling sound, a sweet, craving scent shot out from the crack.
When the watermelon is split, the melon bag inside is visible, the color is beautiful red, and the melon juice is full and overflowing.
Melon skin is only a thin layer!
The ancient way of growing watermelon for many years, at first glance you can tell it is a good melon!
Chen Jianhe immediately ran over, staring straight at the watermelon.
Not only him, but the old farmers on the sidelines were also interested, and there was a burst of excitement.
"Is this really the watermelon we grow? Why is it different from previous years?"
There has never been a watermelon with this thin skin in its fields! There was also the color of the melon bag and the smell of the melon in the air!
It's different, very different from the previous one!
"Hurry, taste!" urged the old village chief, and everyone took the melon petals one after another, and could not wait to put them in their mouths.
"..."
After a while, every family in the watermelon field started a melon opening competition.
A moment later, Taoxi Village delivered a second round of explosive cheers.
"of course! This taste is truly amazing! After eating, the heat is gone!"
"It's so sweet! You can't stop after one bite!"
"I can't describe it! By the way, there's a word for it, aftertaste! Endless aftertaste! And never forget!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
On this day, Taoxi Village was filled with laughter.
In memory of the Taoxi Villagers, this was unprecedented.
How could there have been such a scene in Taoxi Village in the past?
The oldest person in the village, Taoxi Village in my opinion is also full of depression and silence.
Like a rotten old tree inside, full of ashes everywhere, no matter how hard you struggle in time, you can only see its leaves falling off one by one, You can only see its leaves, and finally die slowly.
But on this day, from what I saw along the way, the eyes of the people in Taoxi Village shone, so bright that it injured people.
That's hope.
Hope grew from the hearts of the Taoxi villagers.
The rotting old tree in Taoxi Village finally grew a new green branch.
…
Xizhong Village.
It was adjacent to Taoxi Village, seven miles away, but the situation in the village was very different.
It is surrounded by water, and the village is surrounded by vast rice fields.
In addition, the village chief had a path in his hands, and the villagers grew other agricultural and sideline products to sell in addition to farming, and they could earn a lot of surplus money each year.
Life is not about being rich, it is also about being independent.
Compared to Taoxi Village, which was so poor that the rats were willing to move, Xizhong Village had a sense of superiority.
In the most magnificent brick house in the village, village chief Wang Jianzhong sat in a recliner and served wine with a plate of baked beans, humming in a good mood.
In the past few years, he had made a lot of money, and he had accumulated a lot of prestige by helping the villagers get rich together Wang Jianzhong's childhood life was very convenient.
Thinking that Taoxi Village would soon receive some more money sent to him, he felt better.
The sound of motorcycle brakes and flames rang out in the courtyard, Wang Jianzhong did not raise his eyebrows, "Is the item from Taoxi Village ready?"
"Uncle, Taoxi Village is in trouble! A bunch of fucking poor people dare to rebel! "The young man in a flowery shirt walked into the main hall with an ugly expression on his face.
Wang Jianzhong frowned, putting down his chopsticks, "What happened? What's up?"
"They are ready, but not sold to us, but to other buyers!"
"Who will take their goods but us? Someone wants to break the rules?"
"I asked, it's not someone from our circle! I don't know what source they're looking for!"
Wang Jianzhong's face darkened.
Since the land in Taoxi Village was not good, the maturity period of the plant was always ten days and a half months slower than the surrounding area, so he did not rush after the initial quotation, so he did not rush after the initial quotation, and wait slowly until now.
Waiting for Taoxi Village to send it to your door.
In the end, he was cut off?
"Uncle, what should we do now?" The young man in flowery clothes said in a deep voice, "Let's see a large amount of money just fly by?"
Yeah, a lot of money.
The products in Taoxi Village did not look good, but when shipped to the county town, it actually cost only one and a half cents cheaper than the others.
And they keep the purchase price low, and the difference they can make when reselling it is actually much more than selling any other item!
Almost the same as taking nothing.
"Let's go to Taoxi Village. I want to see where they can sell bent melons and cracked dates! "Wang Jianzhong said in a grim tone.
Taoxi Village was a local duck whose neck was stuck in the hand and plucked at will.
Can you let it fly?
