Lin Zhengqing

21.

"Eat?" Lin Zhicheng hesitated, and said, "We even paid for the car today,"

"Eating food when you are sad will make you happier."

Lin Zhicheng gritted his teeth and said, "Don't eat it. You can call Zhengqing to cook it. We need to save some money. We can't lose watermelon and sesame seeds."

"As for?"

"I'm in a bad mood today, so I won't eat."

"Then you fight."

When they went back, it was already past one o'clock, and they were infinitely exhausted.

Lin Zhengqing was still awake, sitting in the living room, when he heard the sound of the car coming back, he went out to open the door and said, "Are you back?"

"Well, I'm so hungry, what did you cook?" Lin Zhicheng asked.

"Porridge, don't be too full at night."

The two of them sat in the kitchen, eating a few bowls of porridge.

"Zhicheng, you should be here tonight, it's too late to go back now."

Lin Zhicheng sighed, and said, "That's right, I woke up people when I went back."

When leaving the car the next day.The car accidentally got stuck in the mud.Even if they couldn't drive up, the two of them couldn't lift the car up.He called Lin Zhengqing and Lin Zhigang over.

Several people plus passers-by, it took a lot of tossing to lift the car up

Out for a day, exhausting.

Although it was evening when I came back.

Bai Haoyu and Lin Zhicheng put down the car and came to the vineyard.The scenery here is really beautiful, the setting sun is in the distance, the mountains are under the setting sun, and the shadows of the mountains are faint.

The dark blue mountains under the red sky, on the other side are farmers working in the fields, facing the loess and back to the sky, this is the most simple living state of the Chinese people for thousands of years.

It is necessary to preserve the green mountains and green waters, but also to allow them to live a better life.

"Why, why are you in a daze?" Fourth uncle came over and handed him a bunch of grapes, and said.

Bai Haoyu was very tired from standing, so he sat on a small high ground and said, "I'm just thinking about what to do with these newly harvested grapes. There are no more orders from outside, and the online sales are not very good."

"Have you thought about giving up?"

Fourth Uncle sat beside him with grapes in his hands, eating with great relish.

"Is it tasty?"

"For the first time, it needs to be improved."

Bai Haoyu wiped his hands with his clothes, and took a grape to try.

"That's OK."

Fourth Uncle smiled and didn't speak.

"I don't want to give up," what if I give up?

"Young people, always think of things in a simple way." The fourth uncle said: "If you don't give up, you have to find a way."

Bai Haoyu nodded.He's been thinking about these things recently.

After the fourth uncle walked away, Lin Zhicheng came over and sat back to back with him, staring into the distance in a daze.

"Just now fourth uncle asked me if I wanted to give up."

"Are you going to give up?"

"Why did you give up?" Bai Haoyu said, "Don't you still accompany me to trouble you?"

Rhubarb came running over, tilting his head beside them, not knowing what they were doing.

"Let's go, it's time for them to get off work, don't make it look like this place is going to close down."

Although I know that this road is difficult to walk, but when I encounter difficulties, I really have no way to laugh about it.The mood is also very depressed, and the same is very worried about the future.

Even if you can have confidence in the future, you will inevitably feel sad in the face of difficulties.

Lin Zhicheng followed him to the courtyard of Lin Zhengqing's house, and said, "The fans said they could chip in to buy grapes for us, and they also gave the shipping fee."

The two sat on the small steps in front of the house, Bai Haoyu said: "I don't agree."

Lin Zhicheng nodded and said, "This is a one-shot deal. If you really take their money, you will have no fate in the future."

"Yeah, even if you took the money today, after this year, what about the next year? Do you want them to continue to pay?" Bai Haoyu said: "Besides, our positioning as a vineyard is not to earn money from fans, it is To be a business."

"Well, but feel free to send them some past."

"It's okay. In other words, the taste of our grapes is still okay."

"It can be, but the volume is too large, and we can't find enough market to digest it."

Lin Zhengqing came over and said, "Can we go out and set up a stall by ourselves?"

Bai Haoyu sighed, and said: "If there is really no other way, this is also a way."

This is a no-brainer solution, and it will eventually come.

Bai Haoyu mobilized all the people in the vineyard and assigned them to several places in several nearby counties to set up stalls.

In order to have a booth, his employees struggled for a long time to barely get a place. They have been setting up a stall here all the time, and they are unwilling to make room for him, and they are not willing to let others compete for the position.

It is easy for some villagers to know people.

Some of them also sell this small car on the main road.

Lin Zhicheng got a tricycle, and Lin Zhigang was in charge of setting up a stall on the highway.It is not easy to be careful not to be chased away.

Like Lin Zhengqing, Bai Haoyu ate dirt on the main road.

The two stood by the roadside, guarding the cart of grapes conscientiously, dizzy from the sun.

Bai Haoyu handed him a bottle of water and said, "Drink some water."

"Oh." Lin Zhengqing said, "About how long are we going to squat?"

"Evening."

In the evening, when it is time for people to commute to and from get off work, there are more people driving motorcycles and electric motors.Bai Haoyu looked at them with hope.

Everyone squatted in the evening before returning collectively, and transported the remaining grapes back to Lin Zhengqing's home.Bai Haoyu and Lin Zhicheng counted points there.How much is sold and how much is left.

The lights in the yard were on, and the light from the incandescent lamps was not very bright, but there was a warm feeling.With distant memories, maybe I can't remember what I was doing at this time last time, but there is always a feeling that has not dissipated.

"How about it?"

"It's alright."

"There are not many left, take them back." Bai Haoyu said.

"Ah."

Bai Haoyu stretched greatly, nestled on the chair, he was so tired that he didn't want to move.Thinking of getting up the next day to continue this kind of life, I wonder when this life will be the end!

Lin Zhengqing handed him the fruit, sat beside him and said, "Tired?"

"Feeling deeply tired."

His eyes were bloodshot, with big black bags under his eyes.If he went to look in the mirror at this time, he would definitely find that he had aged overnight.

"You are very powerful." Lin Zhengqing said: "I have done something that I dare not do in my whole life."

"Oh, the future is bleak."

"No, I think it's pretty good." Lin Zhengqing said: "Your ability to endure hardships has exceeded our expectations."

"What do you mean?" Bai Haoyu turned to look at him, took a bite of the fruit, it was sweet.

"Actually, we weren't very optimistic about you at the beginning. We thought it was a joke that you two college students who came back from the city came back to do planting. You don't have anything, and the money was borrowed." Lin Zhengqing smiled and said: "And , Being a farmer is very hard, leaving early and returning late, all you do is manual labor, and you have planted such a large area, how can you continue to do it.”

Bai Haoyu reached out and pinched his face, and said, "You look down on us so much? You don't have any confidence in us."

Lin Zhengqing patted his hand away, and said: "But now, in the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and you have done better than we imagined, and you are really serious. Now they all believe that you are doing things seriously. "

Bai Haoyu threw away the core of the fruit, closed his eyes and said, "But this road is still harder than I imagined."

"So lost?"

"I'm just tired, just sleep."

I really hope that by opening my eyes, this predicament can be changed.When I opened my eyes, everything in front of me changed.Everything can be better.

"Why don't you go back to your room and sleep?" Lin Zhengqing said.

"No, I'm covered in mud, I'll get dirty when I go back."

"Then I'll get you some clothes."

Lin Zhengqing thought he was asleep, and when he covered his body with his clothes, he suddenly said, "Zhengqing, aren't you tired?"

"I'm not tired. Maybe I don't have the same mental burden as yours. It's not hard for me to do this physical work."

"Really?"

So he and Lin Zhicheng are under too much pressure?

It is also normal, after all, they bear the wages of all the people in the vineyard and have invested all their wealth.Can the pressure not be too great?

Other fruit growers are happy when they reach the ripening stage, but they are the only ones who have lived such a hard life, looking forward to the harvest period through all kinds of hardships.In the end, I did the math and it was still a loss.

While the employees were busy pruning the grape branches, Bai Haoyu discussed with Lin Zhicheng and brought in a batch of radishes, cabbage and other vegetables.

The emotional vineyard not only grows grapes but also vegetables?

Not long after, Bai Haoyu and Lin Zhicheng built a chicken coop in the vineyard, a place to raise sheep.

Lin Zhigang asked, "Brother, what are you trying to do?"

Lin Zhicheng smiled and said, "Raise chickens and geese."

"Can it be raised?"

"Yes, after raising it, you don't have to work so hard to weed and get rid of insects."

"really?"

Lin Zhigang was dubious about what he said.

Not long after, Bai Haoyu and the others really caught a batch of chickens, ducks and geese and came back.How many animals are assigned to each group, about one sheep, two ducks, two geese, and five chickens per acre of land.

This is calculated based on the amount of grass the animals raise and the area on the ground.

They have visited many vineyards and draw on their experience.

With a few small animals, Rhubarb was excited, and Lao Ai ran here to bully the chickens and ducks, and stared at each other with their necks stunned.

Goose is notorious for not being afraid of death, Lin Zhengqing didn't want him to mess with the goose, he scolded rhubarb as soon as it came in, and didn't let it come in to make trouble.

After a period of time like this, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the door.

After Lin Zhengqing opened the door and saw Du Wenjie, he was startled, and said, "Why did you come?"

How did this person find him?

Du Wenjie drove here by himself, and the body was covered with mud. It seemed that the road was not smooth.

"Let me go through the door first, I'm exhausted."

"Oh." Lin Zhengqing let him in, and found that he was still carrying a piece of luggage.

How long is Du Wenjie planning to stay here?

Seeing him coming in with luggage, Bai Haoyu resisted the urge to drive him out with a broom, and said, "How did you find this place?"
