Bring your son to farm

After breakfast, Su Jun sent Dada to his uncle, planning to visit the beekeeper that Liu Dahai told him on the phone yesterday.

Ji Ming doesn't live in Shixi Town, but in Xiashui Village, which is four or ten minutes' drive away from Shixi Town.There are two buses from the town to Xiashui Village every day, one at ten o'clock in the morning and one at five o'clock in the afternoon.Today is the day of the market, so the carriage is very crowded, filled with poultry and other indescribable smells, which are really not very smelly.When Su Jun got into the car, there were not many people. He walked to the back of the car and sat down by the window, so that he would not be able to squeeze in no matter how many people there were, but the back was the most bumpy.

The cement road from Shixi Town to Xiashui Village was built a few years ago, but how to maintain it, now there are big and small holes on the cement road.The road is a winding mountain road, and on the other side is a cliff of ten thousand feet. When climbing the mountain, the body dangles, and when it rolls over potholes, it bumps very badly, like riding a bumper car.

Su Jun asked Jiming's address in the car. Many people in Xiashui Village kept bees, and Jiming was a celebrity in the village. No one knew him.He went straight to his destination as soon as he got out of the car. Ji Ming was not in the village, but in the bee farm halfway up the mountain.

Recently, it is the production period of honey. In order to take care of the bees, many honey farmers will live in simple cabins built near the beehives. For beekeepers, the honey harvest accounts for a large proportion of a family's annual income.

In the deep mountains, the signal is not good, and there is no TV. I often only have a radio to accompany me, and I can only listen to a few channels. Sometimes I stay for a month, and there is no one around me to talk to. I can imagine the loneliness. But in order to make a living, it is also a helpless thing.

Su Jun climbed for almost three hours before arriving at the bee farm on the mountainside. He has often been running in the mountains for the past few months, his physical strength has improved, and his footsteps have become much faster. It would have been a few months ago, and he would never have reached this level. speed.

Su Jun also carried a bag on his back. There were some fruits, two catties of fresh meat, and some seasonal vegetables in the bag. Although they were not very valuable things at the foot of the mountain, these things worth more than ten catties would take three hours to walk on the mountain road. It is not easy to carry them on the back, and these are not common on the mountain, so they are very precious.

A row of beehives are placed in an orderly manner on the relatively flat soil. From time to time, bees fly in and out, and there is a 'buzzing' sound in my ears. There is a wooden house at the end of the flat land.

It can be seen from the house that the owners of these beehives often live on the mountain, because the house is not a simple place to shelter from wind and rain, but there are partitions for kitchen and bedroom.

Ji Ming was leaning on a bamboo chair and listening to the radio with half-closed eyes. When Su Jun approached, he realized that the person on the bamboo chair was listening to the news broadcast...

Ji Ming was very vigilant, he opened his eyes immediately when he heard footsteps, there was a kind of sharpness in his eyes, Su Jun stopped his steps, a little surprised, the eyes of the person in front of him instantly made him feel oppressed.

"Uncle Ji? I heard that you are an expert in beekeeping. Hello, I'm here to ask you about beekeeping. I hope I don't disturb you." Su Jun greeted with a smile.

Hearing that the other party came for the bees, Ji Ming stood up from the chair with a smile on his face, looking in a good mood, "I'm not an expert, what's the problem?"

For a moment, Su Jun even saw the light in the other party's eyes when he mentioned beekeeping...

Apparently, someone who really likes bees.

Su Jun opened the backpack and took out the food one by one, "Uncle Ji, I just bought some meeting gifts at the foot of the mountain, it's not expensive."

Seeing that there were some dishes, Ji Ming didn't shirk them, and everyone recited them, and if they didn't accept them, they would have to spend a lot of time to recite them down the mountain.Besides, he hasn't eaten fresh meat for a week, and all he eats recently are preserved bacon, and he's already tired of it.Although I quickly planted some vegetables at the back of the house, there are only a few kinds of vegetables that are easy to feed, and I don't even have a choice.Looking at the things Su Jun brought at this moment, it really suits his heart. It just so happens that he can cook lunch at this point.

"I'm going to cook. You must be hungry when you climb up from the bottom of the mountain. Let's have a meal together."

Su Jun naturally had no objection, and nodded, "Then I'll trouble Uncle Ji."

Although the old man was getting old, his hands and feet were very agile. Su Jun wanted to help, but the old man waved his hand and told him to wait and eat.

Chopping firewood to make a fire, washing and chopping vegetables, all in one go. In less than half an hour, three dishes and one soup came out.The rice cooked with firewood was full of fragrance. Just looking at the old man's posture just now, Su Jun also knew that the taste would not be bad. After climbing the mountain for so long, he had already felt hungry after exhausting his physical strength.As soon as the dishes were served on the table, Ji Ming took out another bottle from the corner.

Before the wine could be opened, a man walked in. Su Jun looked over. The man had handsome features and a tall and straight figure, holding a straight shotgun in one hand and a few pheasants in the other. A few colorful feathers hang beautifully on the ground.

Ji Yu glanced at Su Jun, without any expression on his face, and without saying hello, he nodded to the old man sitting in front of the table, "Grandpa, I'm back."

"Well, sit down and eat, this is..." When Ji Ming was about to introduce, he found that he still didn't know the name of the young man in front of him.

"Su Jun." Su Jun took the words and added.

"Su Jun, this is my grandson." The old man introduced another person.

Ji Yu didn't answer, but looked at the wine bottle on the table and raised his eyebrows, "Grandpa, your blood sugar is high, so you can't drink."

"I have guests today, so I'll drink a little." The old man smiled and pushed Su Jun out as a shield.

Ji Yu glanced at Su Jun, a little dissatisfied, "I can only drink a small cup." He didn't pursue it further, and sat down on his own.

After lunch, the old man was in a good mood, "Xiao Su, you came here specifically to find me this time, what's wrong with the bees raised at home?"

Now I remembered something.

"Uncle Ji, to be honest, I found you this time because I wanted something to ask." Although the two of them hadn't been in contact for a long time, Su Jun knew the truth in his heart. The old man's eyes were firm, with a hidden sharpness.He's the kind of person who won't be easily swayed once a decision is made.Boiling frogs in warm water like convincing Liu Dahai is not suitable here.

Su Jun decided to tell the whole story directly, "I'm going to build a bee breeding base, but I don't know anything, so I want to ask you to be a consultant."

"Breeding base?" Ji Ming's voice was a little low, "I like to be alone, and I don't have that much ability."

"I asked you to be this consultant, not to disturb your cleanliness, but to help beekeepers near Shixi Town improve their beekeeping skills through technical exchanges, so that more people can keep bees. Now many young people go out After working part-time, children and the elderly are left behind. Raising an extra box of bees can also relieve the family’s financial pressure. I plan to start a beekeeping cooperative, so that having an organization will make it easier for everyone to communicate and cooperate.”

After Su Jun finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed. He didn't deliberately want to play the family card, but even so, he still felt his face was slightly hot.

Ji Ming didn't talk to Su Jun, he looked at Su Jun quietly, and his gaze turned into a sense of oppression.

Su Jun felt that in front of those eyes, he seemed to have nothing to hide, as if he had been seen through.Su Jun thought about it again, what he said was the truth. Although there is no risk in growing vegetables and fruits now, they are sold at the price of cabbage. Gao's investment, having figured out such a level, Su Jun gained confidence, and smiled at Ji Ming's scrutinizing eyes.

There was no emotion in Ji Ming's voice, "What good will it do you if you do this?" The question hit the nail on the head.

"I am buying honey myself, and the beekeepers have expanded their breeding. My supply of goods can also be guaranteed. This is a two-way mutual benefit. They helped me solve the problem of supply of goods, and I helped them find a market." Su Jun simply talked with Ji Ming is frank and honest, the premise of cooperation is trust, and the old man in front of him is not easy to fool.

Ji Ming didn't speak, but Ji Yu, who had been listening all the time, said, "Grandpa, I think this cooperation is good."

Su Jun was a little surprised, he didn't expect this person to speak for him.

Of course, Ji Ming didn't speak for Su Jun. He had his own plan. The old man often lived on the mountain for a few months. He was lonely and dangerous. Every time the family received the honey brought back by the old man, they would eat in fear. Uneasy.

However, the old man has a stubborn temper, he can't listen to anyone's words, and he doesn't want to go down the mountain, he just wants to raise bees.The family members should be persuaded, but it is useless at all. The old and the young, the elderly and children need to be coaxed.The old man has been a soldier all his life, but he still has his majesty after he has stepped down from his seat, and he refuses to submit to his old age. He feels that it is the same as before, and his family members dare not speak harshly, so they naturally coax him.

Although the old man has always been in good health, he is old after all, and if something happens, he has no one to take care of him.At this moment, the person in front of him said that he wanted to invite the old man to be a consultant, which was exactly what Ji Yu wanted, and he would take care of him even in crowded places, so he naturally pushed the boat along the way and helped Su Jun invite people down the mountain.

Ji Yu had an idea, and made up his mind to facilitate this matter. He seemed to have thought of something and started to make love, "It seems to be the time when honey is collected recently. When I came, I heard an old man on the side of the road saying that the family raised honey. Both boxes of bees ran away, and I didn’t receive a drop of honey. Looking at the family at that time, the expressions on the faces of the old and the young were not good, and the income from honey must be very important to the family.” After a pause, Ji Yu Seeing that the old man's face was loose, he lowered his voice and continued, "Grandpa, you have been raising bees for so long. You can't hide your skills, and you can't apply for a patent."

"What do you mean by looking at me like that? When did you go to the side of the road and heard an old man say this? Nonsense." The old man knew that what he just said was arranged by Ji Ming to lie to him, but he still felt uncomfortable. The embarrassment of being seen through made him His fur exploded instantly, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Although Ji Yu was scolded, he was in a good mood.He knew this old man too well, he had a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, and seeing the old man's reaction, he knew that the old man had softened his heart.

Su Jun looked at the old and the young and did not interrupt.If someone speaks for him, he naturally welcomes it, and seeing the old man's reaction, this matter is likely to be reasonable...

Knowing that he was framed and wanted to jump in, Ji Ming felt that his whole body was not good.He stood up, glanced at Su Jun, and said in a rough voice, "You, follow me, I'll take you to see the beehives, you don't know anything and you want to build a breeding base, hmph, I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth." Su Jun rubbed his nose and followed obediently. The old man stopped after taking two steps, and glanced back at Ji Yu, "You come too."

Don't even think about running away. You have been tricked by two juniors, and you have to find your platform elsewhere...

When Su Jun went down the mountain, he put a few catties of honey in his backpack. Naturally, he dared not refuse the old man's gift in return. Ji Yu, who was walking in front of him, walked very fast, and Su Jun had to do his best to catch up. Fortunately, this time The mountain has a large area, but the slope is not steep, so it is not difficult to go down the mountain.

It is easy to go down the mountain and difficult to go up the mountain. It took three hours to climb up the mountain, but it took less than an hour to stand at the bottom of the mountain.

"Get in the car, and I'll pick you up along the way." Ji Yu raised his eyebrows and said to Su Jun who was behind him when he got on an off-road vehicle that was parked at the foot of the mountain.

"Thanks." Su Jun sat in the co-pilot, but didn't say much polite words.

Su Jun noticed this car when he came. If he had seen this car in the county, Su Jun would have looked at it more, but this is Xiashui Village, a small village with a population of only over 1000. Such an expensive car It's a little unusual to be here.Now Su Jun felt more and more that Jiming was not an ordinary old man, but then again, it didn't matter who the other party was. To him, Jiming was just a consultant who could raise bees.

The car I'm sitting in now is much more comfortable than the minibus in which my bones were almost shaken apart when I came here. When the car drove to Shixi Town, Su Jun and Ji Yu thanked them and got out of the car.

Ji Yu nodded in the car without stopping, and then drove towards the county seat, his attitude was much more relaxed than when he first met Su Jun.

Su Jun first went to his uncle's place to bring Dada back, but unexpectedly, the trip was in vain.

Xiao Yuanshan was quite surprised when he saw that Su Jun said he came to pick up Dada, "After lunch, your aunt took Dada for a walk around and downstairs of your house, just happened to meet a friend of yours looking for you, Dada followed He went back to your house together."

"Friend? Which friend?"

"Not a local, Dada knows him, and he took the initiative to call him Uncle Lu, so your aunt is relieved that he and Dada are at your house. He said he would call you, why, didn't you?"

"It's okay, it may be that the signal on the mountain is not good, and I didn't receive it."

Uncle Lu? Su Jun didn't need to think too much about who it was, but he didn't know it yet. Someone was about to burn his kitchen down.

-

Lu Tingchuan looked at the black and yellow things on the plate, and had some doubts. Is this the egg fried rice that brat wanted?

The ingredients are eggs and rice, theoretically there is no mistake... Lu Tingchuan feels that he is quite talented, and he can cook successfully for the first time.

If you ignore the slightly messy kitchen and the burning pot.

Lu Tingchuan took the plate out of the kitchen, bursting with confidence, "Dada, come and eat."

Dada heard the greeting, swung his short legs, and ran to the dining table excitedly, only glanced at the things on the plate, he was completely stunned.

Looking at the fried rice with eggs that subverted his cognition, Dada was in a bad mood.

Dada raised his head and glanced at Lu Tingchuan, without saying a word, walked back silently, what to do, continued to piece together the unfinished puzzle, with his back to Lu Tingchuan, with a focused expression, not disturbed by anything around him, Like nothing happened.

Half an hour ago, when Dada was talking about dinner three times, Lu Tingchuan finally spoke to Dada and asked Dada what he wanted to eat. Dada thought about it, and it was not hard for this uncle. Keep it simple, and said three words, "Egg Fried Rice."

Half an hour later, Lu Tingchuan's secret egg fried rice was born. It smelled burnt even three meters away. The original molecular structure of the ingredients had been completely destroyed and recombined into another dark, unknown object.

Although Dada is not a picky eater, he didn't come to this place. He didn't want to see the eggs in front of him, and he also saw that food should not be put in his mouth.He thought it was terrible, he didn't want to eat fried rice with eggs recently.

Lu Tingchuan obviously didn't know what Dada was thinking, and still felt good about himself. Seeing Dada walk away, he took the initiative to bring the plate of biochemical weapons in front of Dada, "Dada, didn't you just say that you were hungry and wanted fried rice with eggs?" ?"

Dada thought for a while, then patted his deflated stomach, "Uncle, I'm so full." He glanced at Lu Tingchuan, "I'm not hungry, Uncle, can you eat by yourself?"
