Rebirth to the pastoral

Shi Jiafeng's two children, the daughter is already eight years old, it's time for her to go to school, the registered permanent residence is here, it is a bit troublesome to study in other places, Cheng Xiaoran said: "There is an elementary school in the town, and my two nephews are also going to be enlightened, you If the girl wants to, she can stay and be their company, but the premise is that the child must be well-behaved."

"Be good, my daughter is very good and sensible, and she can help you with a lot of work!" Shi Jiafeng was overjoyed. She was married outside, and after her husband divorced and ran away, she was an outsider to Taohua Village. Well, Boss Xiao Cheng was the first person other than the village head to give her such a big help.

Seeing that Shi Jiafeng signed the contract, others also signed one after another. Some planned to go back to their own city to prepare, and some wanted to wait for the cherries to come down and take the first batch of cherries before leaving. Cheng Xiaoran gave each person 2 yuan. Start-up funds, and set up a group to attract people in, and don't care about the rest.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Sister Cheng finally came back to celebrate the New Year. She brought her brother-in-law of the Zhou family and her eldest son Zhou Ziyuan.

"Didn't I ask you to take a car? Why are you still climbing?" Cheng Xiaoran complained, "It's okay, you two adults, look at my elder nephew from the cold, look at the wet shoes and trousers." Cheng Xiaoran looked at this young but tense man. The big nephew pretending to be an adult is very interesting. He stuffed the candy into his hand, and then said to the twins, "Take your eldest brother to your room to change clothes. The new clothes are in the closet. Yuan Yuan, you can choose your favorite ones to wear." .”

Zhou Ziyuan still had a sullen face: "Thank you uncle, no need, I will dry it as soon as I dry it..." Before he finished speaking, he was dragged away by his younger brother and sister with a smile, and the sound of twittering could still be heard when the door was closed .Sister Cheng and his wife looked surprised. The youngest son and daughter were shy and shy. They didn’t say a few words in their own home. I know it won't be cheap.

Sister Cheng said embarrassingly: "Xiao Er, the children have caused you trouble."

"No trouble, if you think it's troublesome, stay and help me." Cheng Xiaoran took them to see the cherry grove, "The harvest is about to come, I'm short of manpower here, you stay, and you can eat and live. Bao, I will give you the same wages as others, first one hundred per person per day, and when things go smoothly, I can add more if you are particularly busy."

The couple were shocked by the fruitful forest, and looked at each other. To be honest, one hundred a day is not much, but it is clean and labor-saving. The pig farm has four or five thousand a month, but it is exhausting. Yes, pigs have to be slaughtered every day, not to mention the hard work, and it stinks to death. Brother-in-law Zhou still smells after taking a bath four or five times at home.

And it also includes food and lodging, and it is still in her natal family. Of course, Sister Cheng is willing to do it in her heart, but she is just her parents-in-law...

Cheng Xiaoran gave them some advice: "It's hard to find work during the Chinese New Year. If anyone in your village is willing to come over to earn some extra money, you can call them over together. Just be diligent and honest. There must be old people and women in their family. Ask them to come over and take care of me, Uncle Zhou." Aunt Zhou is all right."

Pay attention to this!The couple's eyes lit up. The cherries haven't matured for long. They have been working for more than two months. Now there are no crops in the field. The elderly in the family take care of themselves, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Then I'll go back and discuss it with my parents?" Brother-in-law Zhou asked.

Sister Cheng nodded: "Yuanyuan is going to the second grade, and Hanhan and Xiaoxia have to go to school. Although the tuition fee is free now, the food and travel expenses are all costly. My parents are not in good health. I want to go to school." I took Dad for a physical examination every month, and Mom's medicine is almost finished, we both work for two months, and we can relax a bit."

Brother-in-law Zhou broke out in a cold sweat after being told, and nodded repeatedly, and couldn't wait for a while to go over the mountain before going back to tell his parents about it.

Cheng Xiaoran didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother-in-law, you just climbed the mountain road for several hours, take a day off today, and I'll send you back by car tomorrow, and you can renew the phone at home by the way, so you can feel at ease when you call every day from now on."

Zhou's brother-in-law responded again and again: "It's still Xiao Ran who is thoughtful."

Cheng Xiaoran saw that he looked tired, so he let him go to sleep first, and called him again at meal time, then turned his head and smiled and said to Sister Cheng: "Sister, you are eating my brother-in-law to death."

Sister Cheng rolled her eyes at her husband's room: "Your brother-in-law is good at everything, but he is too filial. It's not like you don't know my mother-in-law. If she knew that our husband and wife came to work for you, she would definitely not be happy. She would only say that I was lazy." I hid at my mother's house, and if I don't give him a little pressure, he might be fooled into not daring to come."

She sighed: "But I didn't say that there is really no way out in Zhoujia Village, and now you can't make any money from farming. Your brother-in-law has been working in a pig farm for two months, and he is out of shape. No matter how good his health is, he can't stand it It's such a waste, if he doesn't come to you, he will go to the construction site to find a job after the seventh day of junior high school, Xiaoer, you really helped the elder sister a big favor, and the elder sister doesn't even know how to thank you."

Of course, Sister Cheng could tell that the younger brother asked them to bring people in mainly to give them favors. Otherwise, there are quite a lot of people in Yinghua Village now, so why can't they find people to work?

"You are helping me by staying here." Cheng Xiaoran said, "There are not many fast-footed people here. I can't help if I don't recruit people, and I'm afraid I won't be able to manage people if I recruit people. You are here, and you will be the foreman. Let me see, my parents and two uncles and aunts don't have to follow around, and I can also be a shopkeeper."

……

Brother-in-law Zhou couldn’t wait to return to Zhou’s Village early the next morning. On the third day, he brought five laborers, three men and two women, all in their 40s and 50s. There were also many people in the upper village who wanted to stay, and soon [-] people were recruited.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Cheng Dabo held a very grand ceremony. With the sound of gongs and drums, the grand event of cherry picking kicked off vigorously.

Cheng Xiaoran was very embarrassed by this ceremony, and what was even more embarrassing was that when he turned his head, he saw a high-end, low-key car parked there, and then remembered that someone had called him early in the morning, saying that today here.

As a result, when he was busy here, he completely forgot about the people, and the people of the whole village gathered at the foot of Dazhou Mountain, but he didn't notice any outsiders entering the village.

"Mr. Fu, I really miss you."

Fu Zhizhuo looked at the noisy mountain: "You guys are very lively."

Cheng Xiaoran wasn't sure if he had seen the ceremony just now, had he heard Uncle Cheng thank the sky and thank the mountain for the water, and finally thanked him solemnly for his speech, and said with a matter of course: "We are in the mountains People are simple and grateful, and they are so happy with the harvest in the field.”

Not at all awkward.

Seeing the handsome guy next to him: "This is Mr. Xu?"

"Just ask me to do it carefully." Xu Jinxing said with a smile, and stretched out his hand. He was wearing a white shirt, white and elegant, slender and straight, with a bookish air all over his body. At the same time, one is masculine and the other is elegant, which is really indescribably seductive.

Cheng Xiaoran silently reflected in his heart, he is so tall and gentle, shouldn't it be time for him to make up?

He pushed down his glasses, reached out his hand, and shook it...

Hands are also one size smaller.

He looked at his retracted palm, lowered his eyelids, Xu Jinxing's heart beat slightly: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Cheng Xiaoran smiled, "Are you going to go to the mountain to see the cherries? They are so fresh just picked, Mr. Fu, you can also take a good look at the quality."

"That's what I mean." Fu Zhizhuo glanced at him and nodded happily.

Baskets of cherries on Dazhou Mountain were brought down, and they were about to be covered, otherwise the birds in the sky would not be easy to deal with.

"So many birds?" Xu Jinxing was a little surprised.

"These birds like the smell of cherries the most, and they have been hungry for another winter, and the cherries wandered around before they ripen." Cheng Xiaoran said, the flock of birds chirped and circled in the sky, or jumped on the trees They fly away after pecking at a fruit, and then jump down again when it's over. They can't be chased away, they can't be caught, and if they are not careful, they will be pulled a pile of shit on the top of their heads, which makes the person picking the fruit quite depressed.

"Then you don't want to lose a lot of cherries?" Although the cherries that have been picked have been kept, there are still so many cherries hanging on the treetops.

"That can't be helped, so there is a farming proverb called 'When the silkworms grow old, the cherry blossoms take a long time'. If the cherries are ripe, if they are not harvested immediately, they will soon fall to the ground, or if the wind and rain are stronger, they will all fall to the ground. Being blown down, these skylarks are pretty good in comparison, my cherry tree is tall, they can basically only peck at the top layer, and fly away when they are full."

Over the years, Yinghua Village has been lifeless, and even the birds don’t like to come here. I don’t know how many birds will be attracted by the smell of cherries. Most of them will leave, but many of them have already built nests in the nearby forests. In the future, in this mountain, There will be no shortage of bird eggs and wild birds.

Xu Jinxing looked at Cheng Xiaoran, he didn't have the slightest dislike for the flock of birds, as if what they ate was not the money in his pocket, but rather connivance and joy, he didn't take this little loss seriously at all.

These cherries are nothing in the eyes of people like them, but for this small mountain village, for the Cheng family, which was not even well-to-do before, it was a huge income.But not only Cheng Xiaoran, even the villagers didn't drive away the flock of birds, while shouting their heartache, they didn't feel disgusted or annoyed, on the contrary, they were quite happy.

Cheng Xiaoran picked up a basket of cherries and rushed to the mountain spring. Cheng Xiaojie ran over and bumped his arm: "Why is that Boss Fu here again? Who is that next to him?"

"He's my big client now." Cheng Xiaoran looked back at the two people standing there, watched by many people who were still leisurely and full of dignity, and stood up with his waist supported.

Cheng Xiaojie quickly helped him: "I said that your legs and feet are getting more and more difficult now, you should rest well, and I will come."

Cheng Xiaoran gave him a blank look. After he came back last time, everyone really treated him as sick. He was not allowed to do this at home or outside, and he was not allowed to touch that. How could he be so fragile?

Over there Xu Jinxing touched Fu Zhizhuo: "It looks pretty good."

Fu Zhizhuo swept him coldly: "I asked you to see a doctor."

"I don't care about you. Tell the truth, do you have a crush on someone? I've never seen you care so much about anyone."

Fu Zhizhuo didn't answer, but seeing the young man talking with his companions and smiling at others, he felt a little dazzling. When he turned around and walked towards him slowly, his heart jumped again.

Xu Jinxing saw the subtle changes in his friend's eyes, and showed a knowing smile, but his eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly glanced at Cheng Xiaoran's abdomen.

"What's the matter? You all have weird expressions?" Cheng Xiaoran felt that these two people seemed to have some secrets, and they seemed to be aimed at him.

"It's nothing, Xiao Ran..." Fu Zhizhuo raised his head, and a villager hurried over there, "Boss Xiao Cheng, your father is calling you to go home quickly!"

Cheng Xiaoran frowned: "Did you say something?"

"There are guests at your house, and they say that your uncle is back!"
