Back home to start a farm

Originally, planting trees was hard work, so I rented a digging machine instead.Instead of digging hard on the ground with a shovel, you only need to operate the machine to get a suitable hole, put the saplings in and fill it up.

With the help of adult villagers, hundreds of saplings were successfully finished in one morning, and the villagers couldn't help but feel the same topic again.

Technology has changed life.

The cherry trees got used to the life here within a few days after they were planted on the mountain. Not even half of the trees died. The 100% survival rate made Professor Liu, who had expected it, sigh.

After New Year's Day, the village began to discuss the topic of Chinese New Year. In the past, the villagers felt that the transfer of money was not enough, but now their ideas have changed. Finally, they agreed that they will not be open to tourists for half a month before and after the Chinese New Year, a total of one month. .

After the news was released, there was a lot of discussion, but most people were able to express their understanding, and after all, there were only a small number of people who went out to play during the Chinese New Year.I just thought that Xishan Village would no longer be open during the Chinese New Year, and some people would hurry up and come here a few more times. The key is that they can’t get it online, so they can come here to buy more ingredients to eat back during the Chinese New Year.

After finishing the cherry tree, Qu Chi was busy preparing the New Year's goods. In the past, Qu Chi's family paid more attention to the New Year. Not to mention all kinds of chicken, duck and fish had to be prepared in advance, simply pickled and hung on the balcony to dry. After drying for half a month, it can be preserved until the Chinese New Year.

But at this time, I bought things in advance because I was worried about the price increase in the next year. In the past two years, Quchi has raised a lot of chickens and ducks. Now I buy things in advance because I plan to make unique delicacies. At least I need to make more sausages and bacon.

Qu Chi was not the only one who had the same idea. The villagers were willing to spend money if they had it. These days, Qu Ertang's family was slaughtering pigs all day long, and most of them were bought by the villagers.

There are quite a few people in the village who know how to make bacon and sausages, but not many people who make delicious ones. This year, the relationship between the residents in the village is much better than before, so you don't have to be polite in some respects.The bacon is smoked in one piece, and the sausages are prepared by themselves, and then the stuffing is adjusted and filled by themselves.

Speaking of which, Qu Chi doesn't have to worry about it, but one of the best bacon cookers in the village is his father, Qu Deyun, and Qu Chi, as a son, has no choice but to help.

Near his home, Qu Chi was still young and Zhang Yun built an adobe house for raising chickens. Later, the family opened an oil mill, and the house was completely abandoned, and the smell inside had long since dissipated.

A lot of thought was put into the construction of this old house, and it has not collapsed until now. During the summer renovation, Qu Chi originally planned to have it flattened, but Qu Deyun stopped it, and instead had it repaired .

Now I know what to keep this house for.

It's for smoking bacon.

Hundreds of catties of high-quality pork were hung inside. Qu Chi and Qin Shi cut a lot of pine branches from the mountain and put them under the meat to burn them on fire. The wet pine branches could not burn violently, but smoked to the top of the bacon. Gone with the wind, the time required for the smoking process is not short.

The bacon is smoked and the sausages are drying. The second cousin kills pigs before the New Year. Don’t worry about fresh pork. You can also make some dried chicken and dried ducks in advance. The fish ponds in the village are enough for fishing at the end of the year, basically no extra Buy it, so there are two cattle and sheep farmers in the village who will become extraordinarily gunslinger by the way.

Qu Chi snatched two cow legs and two sheep, and let the villagers raise them first, so that they can eat fresh ones during the Chinese New Year.Qu Chi used this year's sweet potato flour to make a lot of vermicelli, and kept enough for his family, and sold the rest at a higher price during the new year.

As the end of the new year approaches, Xishan Village officially refuses tourists to enter the village. Only villagers who work in other places can enter through the gate.The ingredients that are sent to Bijiang Town and put on the shelves in the online shop every day remain unchanged, but the quantity is still so small that it is extremely difficult to grab.

At this time, Qu Chi received a notice from the town asking him and the secretary of the village chief to come to the town to attend the year-end summary meeting.

Even though Qu Chi now has a lot of power to speak in the village, but he really doesn't hold a specific position, the sudden invitation to attend this meeting this time, and there was no precedent last year, Qu Chi couldn't help but speculate.

After participating, the specific situation is similar to what Qu Chi guessed. This year-end summary meeting can actually be called a year-end commendation meeting.

The performance of Xishan Village in the past two years is obvious to all. People in other villages are envious and jealous when they see them. The town leaders are all smiles after seeing them, encouraging them to develop better. are developing rapidly.

In the end, most of the awards included the name of Xishan Village. Qu Chi also won the Hometown Greatest Contribution Award and the first place in the town's top ten outstanding youths. In addition to receiving the medal, he also received a bonus of several thousand yuan.After the meeting, Qu Chi even met many people asking for advice. After Qu Chi finished talking about his summed up experience, he returned much later.

The villagers were all waiting near the entrance of the village. When they came back, they immediately gathered around to watch the rare awards. Every villager had to wipe their hands clean before taking the medals and inspecting them carefully.In the end, the villagers followed and watched them hang the medals in the newly vacated room of the village committee office building.

In the next few days, many villagers ran over to watch it tirelessly. After the wave of heat passed, the villagers who were out went home with big bags and small bags. Nong, the new year is also here.

On New Year's Eve, couplets were posted, Qu Chi woke up in the morning and found only an empty bed, and finally found Qin Shi's figure in the study wearing slippers. He blinked and touched the long red paper on the table in surprise: "You Is...are you going to write couplets yourself?"

Qin Shi, who was standing in front of the table, coughed lightly, held the brush with the most correct posture, and the tip of the brush glides smoothly on the red paper, presenting auspicious words suitable for the New Year, then nodded and said: "The brush calligraphy that has been practiced for many years Come in handy isn't it?"

Before the ink was dry, Qu Chi looked at the black letters on the scarlet letter, more excited than what he had written, and said happily, "We don't need to make money, just write a few couplets that are safe, healthy and happy. "

Qin Shi raised the brush again, wrote the second couplet before laughing, "Is this qualified?"

"It's great!" Qu Chi praised happily, took out the brush from Qin Shi's hand and put it on the inkstone, and then threw himself into Qin Shi's arms with peace of mind, and kissed him on the side of the cheek, "This year's Spring Festival couplets It's all over to you."

Qu Chi, who was wearing a new red dress, was extremely festive. Qin Shi stretched out his hand to caress his face, raised a happy smile, kissed back the same place on Qu Chi's face, and then pushed Qu Chi away from him: " Alright, go and wash up, and we'll put up Spring Festival couplets later."

The new Spring Festival couplets and blessings were pasted up, and in the evening firecrackers were crackling. The farm staff, including Zhang Wenbin and Meng Fan, had all gone home to celebrate the New Year. Only Qu Deyun, Zhang Yun and Qu Chi Qin Shisi were on the table for the New Year’s Eve dinner. people.

After drinking and eating, the four of them toasted and drank the low-alcohol wine together. Zhang Yun took out a bulging red envelope from his pocket, and asked the two children to reach out and put the red envelope into their palms: " According to the customs here, children are required to give red envelopes after they make an appointment. It's a bit vulgar but the intention is true. It should have been given to Qin Shi, but you two are men and it doesn't matter if you marry, so I will give it to you two. This road is more difficult, I hope you can hold hands and go on for a long time."

"Mom, Dad..." Qu Chi didn't expect such a surprise at today's New Year's Eve dinner. He felt the weight in his hands, and his nose felt a little sore.

Qin Shi's expression was also a little shocked, and he once again thanked himself very much for choosing to return to Xishan Village at that time. Fortunately, he had the greatest happiness. He filled the wine glass, raised one hand and shouted sincerely to the two elders: "Dad, Mom, thank you."

The cold outside the house can never erode the warmth inside the house, and the four of them completely became a family and enjoyed the last day peacefully.

The bell rang at zero o'clock, and gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky.

A new year has come.

This year, the villagers in the village are busy working in the fields and entertaining tourists. Of course, there are a few young people who have not forgotten to have a free love in the process of being busy, but some young people are still single, or they hope or The elders requested that they prepare to seize the opportunity of the Spring Festival New Year's greetings to go on a blind date and leave the singles.

In the past, Xishan Village was poor, and young people had to rely on their own ability to find a good partner, but it was difficult for them to be so good that the other party could ignore their family conditions.Now it's all right, family conditions are no longer a hindrance, but have become an obvious advantage, and the young girls and boys in Xishan Village have instantly become sought-after.

There are still many people who value Qu Chi, the "golden bachelor", and even Qin Shi is favored by many people. However, everyone in Tuoxi Mountain Village gets rejected, making people wonder if they are from their own village. fancy.

They are indeed people from this village, but it's just that the two of them have taken a fancy to each other.

The villagers murmured in their hearts, and they simply rejected other people's requests.Anyway, now that he has money in his hands, he is full of confidence, and he is not afraid of causing trouble if he refuses directly. Why let these two people bother Qu Chi and Qin Shi, these two young men.

Although the two did not publicly state it, they no longer concealed it after obtaining the consent of Qu Deyun and Zhang Yun.The villagers were not blind, let alone fools. They didn't expect it at first, but if they saw too much, they would notice something strange.

It would be an absolute lie to say that there is no awkwardness in my heart, but what's the use of being awkward in the same village, as parents, I have never seen any objection.When Qu Chi had something to ask them for help, since he had the friendship in the village and the rich rewards, this awkwardness went out of the blue.

Not to mention, throwing away this prejudice and looking back at these two people, they are really a perfect match, and the relationship between the two can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

So no one mentions their marriage now, but the unmarried children in their 30s and [-]s. In the past, there were Qu Chi and Qin Shi standing in front of the sign, but now it doesn't work, and they are all pushed by the parents to find a partner. go.

The result of the blind date every day is that before the Lantern Festival, there are several couples in the village, all with happy smiles, even Qiao Yang and Zhao Zhu who came back to work happily announced that they have girlfriends, only Xu Bing The boy still hasn't found a girl yet.

Oh, after the Lantern Festival, Meng Fan came over to become a full-time employee here, and he is also single.

The winter this year was not cold. After the Lantern Festival, the villagers who could not let go of their careers continued to go out to work. The children in the village who were still in school returned to school. Their grades improved again at the end of last year. Parents were happy and the children also had The desire to learn, with a warm smile on his face.

The boarding children can only come back at the end of each month, and the children in kindergarten and elementary school can be at home every day, but they are used to the lively atmosphere during the winter vacation, and the village suddenly became deserted after the children went to school.

It may be that I feel the feelings of the parents. When the spring is about to usher in the cold wave, I feel that it has suddenly become cold, and even the fish ponds in the village are covered with a thin layer of ice.

The floor heating in the house works continuously, and Qu Chi is not affected by the cold at all. After waking up in the morning, he rolls on the bed and refuses to get up until Qin Shi presses the remote control button to open the curtains, and there are tiny snowflakes floating outside the transparent glass window .

"It's snowing!" Qu Chi jumped off the bed.

At this moment, the piercing phone rang.
