planting fields, raising children

After deducting the calculated cost, planting expansion expenses and working capital from the 'Love Fruit' activity and the settlement of vegetables, Jing Xing still has a sum of money left in his hand, which Jing Xing intends to use to build a biogas digester.

Biogas digesters have been promoted by the county, and there are subsidies. Farmers only need a small part of the subsidy to build them, but few people in Shouhe Village and even the entire rural area of ​​Liuping County responded to the call to do this.This year is another year of vigorous promotion, and Chen Xiangdong almost pulled his hair out because of this matter.

The biogas digesters in Daping Township have always been difficult to implement. Except for a few village cadres, they are not willing to spend the money. Not only do they need money to build the ponds, but they also have to buy corresponding equipment. Most people are not happy, and the same is true in Shouhe Village.People in this village are used to cooking with firewood. The firewood is collected from the mountains and chopped, and it doesn't cost money.No matter how little money is spent on this biogas digester, it is still a waste, who wants it.What's more, the maintenance and so on in the later period are also very labor-intensive. In addition, many people have gone out to work now, and there are few farms to raise livestock, and there is not so much fertilizer to cover the biogas.

Although biogas can be used to generate electricity, there are many people in the village who use a few kilowatt-hours of electricity a month. Once the bill is calculated, they feel that it is not worth it. Coupled with distrust and other reasons, few people are willing to do this.

But Jing Xing took a fancy to this. Now the technology for the construction and use of biogas digesters has matured, and the most indispensable thing in their manor is orange stalks and livestock manure. Anyway, they have to build special cesspools to hold these things. Why don't they build a biogas digester? .It is not only environmentally friendly but also energy-saving, and the biogas slurry and biogas residue can be used as fertilizers to achieve the effect of recycling.It's just that it's for commercial use, and there's no way to think about subsidies. Because it's too expensive to make, it's been delayed until now.

Chen Xiangdong was very happy for him to support his work so much, and he also won a lot of benefits for him and gave some discounts.It only cares about how many biogas digesters you have built, not how much you are a user utilization rate.This government work is sometimes like this, and the reality is quite different from the written one.Besides, most of the people in this manor are the villagers of Shouhe Village, which can be regarded as popular in a vague way.

Jing Xing calculated that the biogas pool can basically meet the requirements of the manor when it is built.In this way, although the investment is relatively large at the beginning, it can save a lot of expenses in the later stage.

However, to be on the safe side, Jing Xing does not rely entirely on biogas. For example, lighting and other conventional power backups, gas backups for cooking and cooking, and solar backups for bathing in hotels, etc.

"Gao Song, you won't smell like feces when you cook from now on, smoke yourself down." With everyone's help, the biogas digester has been built, and it has been retting for a few days.Now I am preparing to test the fire in Jiang Gaosong's small restaurant, and the horse erhu started shouting before the fire was lit.Everyone is so lively. This biogas pool is considered a big project in the manor, so they spontaneously gathered together to argue for the lighting ceremony. They said it was to ask for a good omen, but in fact they just wanted to get together to drink a pot.

Jiang Gaosong is not a good person either, "You don't want to laugh at the second brother, we will use this thing for electricity in the future, and then don't dislike that the light also smells like shit."

"You two are really disgusting, and there are guests from outside. What do you think after hearing this?" Aunt Sun couldn't listen anymore, and taught her a lesson.

In fact, this is not the first time for everyone to see this thing. The secretary of the village party committee built this biogas pond.

Because it was not a weekend, there were not many tourists, only a few elderly people saw the beautiful scenery and stayed here without any other problems.They were all idle and had nothing to do, so they gathered around. Hearing this, an old man said with a smile: "Don't say that when this thing came out, I really thought that cooking smelled bad, and I was wondering who would make this Toys."

Everyone suddenly laughed, and asked the old man whether he was still used to staying in the manor, and did he feel that there was something wrong.The old man is also a talkative person. In the past, everyone closed the door in the city and went to his own place. There is no community in his house, and the air is not very good. He coughs when he comes out, so he doesn’t like to go out. It's lonely at home.It's not in the countryside, the air is good, and you can just go for a walk for a day without getting bored.Everyone was very enthusiastic, and he finally felt popular, so he simply booked a month to live there.

Most of the other elderly people are also like this. Their children have grown up, they have their own small family and have to go to work. They are so busy that they usually have no time to accompany them. Fei Fanli is usually lonely at home.Originally, they came here just to have a stroll, but after staying here they felt quite comfortable and were reluctant to leave.

Although the small square has not been built yet, a piece of land has been flattened, and there are chairs and stools made of bamboo beside it.It is much better to box and dance square dance or sit and look at the rolling green hills than to stay at home in the city, and there are many people together.

The old man repeatedly said that this place is good, the air is good and the environment is good, and the whole person feels much more comfortable. "Since I came here, the three highs are not high. No wonder you live a long life, and all your problems are gone now."

Er Paozi laughed, "Old man, you like our Shouhe Village. As a Shouhe Villager, I'm very happy, but you're too bragging. Don't let people think that we are all bragging. You In a few days, the three highs will not be high, and our place is not a fairyland no matter how good it is."

When the old man heard this, he became angry, "You child, you really don't understand how beautiful your hometown is. It's not just me, you ask who has been living here these days, who doesn't feel pain in the head or feet? , that’s why I want to continue to live here. Otherwise, why would you go all the way here, just for this treasure land.”

After the old man finished speaking, a group of old men and old ladies echoed him, saying that his complexion had improved since he called here, and that all his problems had disappeared.He also said that the water here is sweet when you drink it, which is different from that in the city.

Another old lady said, "Especially the pool under Huaguo Mountain. I have soaked it for a few days, and the old stomach problem has been gone for a long time."

Ma Erhu jumped, "Old lady too, the water is so cold, let's soak in that. Besides, can foot soaking have something to do with stomach problems?"

Jing Xing also heard that something was wrong. I heard that a group of people like to go there to soak their feet, and also like to fetch water from there. Before that, I thought it was strange that the pool of water has been very wet for many years. , the weather is cold, why some people want to go to that bubble.But because I was busy before and didn't pay much attention to it, now it sounds even more wrong.

As soon as it was said there, more people had something to say.He said that he didn’t know who started it, and said that the water there is so good, and that it can cure all diseases when used in bubbles, so he followed suit and tried.The result is really good, it's not like they like to go there for a dip now that they live there.

Jing Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Auntie, this is just an ordinary pond, don't believe in it. There is no such way of speaking in our village, why did this rumor spread."

The old men and women around were a little hesitant, but someone said it again, but they really thought it was good, how could they not understand how their bodies were?Now the herd mentality is here again, and a bunch of people agree.Jing Xing didn't believe this, it wasn't Shenshui, and he didn't get better so quickly after taking the medicine, he felt that these people were psychological.

In fact, these elderly people are not very old, but they look like they have just retired and are 60 or [-] years old.Part of the illness is indeed due to old age, and the other part is probably related to the sudden boredom of being idle.And these people are the easiest to be fooled. It is often reported on TV, and some lawbreakers like to stare at these people.They have a serious herd mentality and are prone to self-suggestion.They come here to relax physically and mentally, work and rest normally, eat lightly, and feel refreshed because their physical burden is gone, which has nothing to do with the pool of water.

These people are usually very stubborn, so after Jing Xing said a few words and was refuted by everyone with examples, he stopped persuading them. If this can make them feel good, it's okay.Some illnesses are caused by worry, and once a person is cheerful, nothing will happen.So I just warned a few words, the water is too cold, it is better not to go directly into the water, it would be better to boil it back and put some herbs to soak the feet.

Xiao Yang, who was watching from the sidelines, also spoke out now, "My earthen recipe that soaks your feet, if you need it, I can make it."

As soon as these words fell, they were welcomed by the old men and women. Although traditional Chinese medicine and earth prescriptions have gradually faded out of people's sight, everyone blindly worships them. He deserves it.

The lights in the house were turned on, and the fire was started. Everything was going well. Everyone couldn't help cheering, and they started arguing about having a banquet for a while.

Jiang Hai turned around and smacked his lips, "Jing Xing, you'll spend a lot of money on this, right?"

Jing Xing smiled, "It's indeed quite a lot. Now my house is empty again, and the money I put in my purse hasn't been warmed."

Someone interrupted involuntarily, "Brother Xing, it's all up to you, you won't have to die."

"Do you think it will be useless in the future? I will charge you in the future, but you can rest assured that it will definitely be cheaper than ordinary electricity and gas."

The man scratched his head, "So it's this, I said why didn't you ask us to pay, so this is waiting."

"That's the way it is. My brothers settle accounts clearly, so how can we let Jing Xing pay for everything."

Everyone agreed one after another, and there are many more people who are willing to pay for the expansion of planting and breeding these days.Everyone has a herd mentality. When they heard that others were willing to pay, and saw that the situation in the manor was in good shape, they gritted their teeth and gambled for luck.Those who are timid can take out their own family resources, and those who have thousands or hundreds of dollars can also raise more varieties, and those who are brave can directly go to credit unions for loans, and spend tens of thousands of dollars in it.

Jing Xing smiled and didn't say anything. When doing things in the village, he can't think too much of others, and he can't be too selfish. This scale is quite difficult to grasp.But fortunately, it has been handled relatively properly so far.

"Isn't this Mr. Chen? What kind of wind brought you here?" Ma Erhu saw Chen Xiangdong from afar, and shouted loudly.

Cars outside were not allowed in the manor, so Chen Xiangdong walked in without attracting attention.Although the head of the township is just a small official, the villagers are like a local emperor in their hearts.Everyone was in awe, and unknowingly gave way to Chen Xiangdong.

Jing Xing went up to meet him, "The leader came down to inspect the work again?"

Chen Xiangdong smiled brightly, "Two things, the first one is to investigate how your biogas digester is built, how is it, these technicians are not bad, right?"

"They're all very reliable. They're quick and skillful, and they're easy to talk to. After a few days of retting, it's ready to use now. No, today is the ignition ceremony, please Kitchen God."

Chen Xiangdong looked around meaningfully. In fact, those biogas pools were covered up and could not be seen at all. He still nodded with a satisfied expression, "Yes, yes, Comrade Jing Xing is doing things, I don't worry. The second thing is , A group of foreign friends will visit us in a few days, you have to be prepared to welcome them."

"foreign friends?"

Now everyone got excited, "Is it the same as on TV, with yellow hair and green eyes? Or is it dark?"

Chen Xiangdong said with a smile: "There are no black ones, there are white ones, and there is also a little yellow Japan."

Now that the frying pan is underway, someone yelled directly: "What! Little Japan? No way, anyone can come, white or black. We won't welcome Little Japan."

In particular, the old man who was watching looked filled with righteous indignation, and his whole body was full of enthusiasm, which shocked Chen Xiangdong.

Chen Xiangdong was a little confused, "Why is there such a big reaction?"

Jing Xing patted him on the shoulder, "Major Chen, you haven't done your job well enough, the county annals didn't study it well."

It turned out that when the Japanese invaded China, a group of Japanese raided Shouhe Village, and the villagers were ruined at that time.Originally, Shouhe Village was not called this name, but Jiangjia Village, and all the people living here were people with the Jiang family surname.It was because the little devil came in that year and ruined most of the village, so there were not many left.Later, when people from other places came over, it became the current village with mixed surnames, and the names were also changed.

The reason why the remaining long-lived old people are basically old ladies is mostly because many men were taken away as coolies at that time, and they never returned.The reason why Jing Xingjiang's family line is left now is because the grandpa and grandma ran to hide in the cave, and the little devil couldn't find it, so they survived.When I came back, the whole village was almost destroyed, and the people who were taken away were not dead or dead, and I don't know where they were taken, and those little devils didn't know where to go. This is also an unsolved mystery in the local area. .

Shouhe Village back then was not like it is now. At that time, Shouhe Village was like the Qingshan Nature Reserve, lush and green, full of towering trees and wild animals.Grandma Jiang said that in the past, Shouhe Village was not allowed to go out at night, and there might be raging tigers rushing into the village.So it's really hard to find where those Japanese and Jiangjia Village people are going. To be honest, this little devil came here very well, and he was able to find such a corner like Shouhe Village.And at that time, when the War of Resistance was about to be won, I somehow provoked such a group of little devils.

This is the hatred left over from the past. In the beginning, everyone didn't like Little Japan. Just a few years ago, someone in Shouhe Village worked in a Japanese company, but he was cheated to death again.The wages are high and the work intensity is high. Jiang Dani's hand was caught in the machine when she was extremely sleepy due to overwork. She didn't get any compensation later, saying that she was not careful in her work and had nothing to do with the factory.

After a long struggle, I finally got some subsidy money, but that money was really not enough.For this reason, everyone's resentment towards Little Japan is even deeper. Shouhe Village now has an unwritten rule that anyone can work for anyone when they go out to work, but they cannot work for Little Japan.

Chen Xiangdong frowned slightly. It would be bad if it happened like this. The local people have such strong opinions. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome. "But he is a member of the International Longevity Science Research Association under the International Association of Natural Medicine. This medical association is in Tokyo. Without their identification, there is no way to declare the title of International Longevity Township to the county. And where they are researching, which one? The place will definitely attract the attention of the world. What you need most in Qingshan Manor is fame. In order to let them come to our Shouhe Village for research, I did a lot of work to get the county to agree."

If you want to comment on the hometown of longevity in the world, you really cannot do without Little Japan, and Little Japan plays a pivotal role in this.If this opportunity is missed, it will be a great loss for Shouhe Village.If it is determined to investigate in Shouhe Village, the county will focus on Shouhe Village in the future, and future promotional videos, various resources, etc. will also focus on Shouhe Village.

Jing Xing thought for a while, and couldn't help waving: "Everyone stop, just now everyone listened to what Chen Xiangchang said, and I would like to ask for everyone's opinions. Everyone said whether they agree to Little Japan's coming or not. agree."

The manor has been established for so long, and the big guys already know what this title means, and they all fell silent immediately, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

The grandfather who had been watching on the sidelines put away the dry cigarettes and yelled loudly, "What are you thinking, come here, we are not trying to curry favor with them, betray the country and become a traitor. If he is kind, we should ignore him and let him Contribute to us; if it is evil, we will blast them out just like we did back then."

"Yes! We still have to make all of Little Japan's money, so that he can only go back in a pair of underpants."

Some people started to respond, and although they still resisted, they were not afraid of making any radical actions.In fact, Jing Xing was not worried about what would happen to everyone, after all, it was all old grievances, if it hadn't been forced to rush, generally honest and responsible country people would seldom raise a hoe to fight people desperately.Even though he said that, Jing Xing would still feel uneasy, but seeing this now, he felt relieved.

Jing Xing led Chen Xiangdong to the office, and Chen Xiangdong looked at the manor office and couldn't help but click his tongue, "Your office building is much more beautiful and exquisite than my township government. It seems that you are doing well."

"thanks to you."

"Are you really planning to take root in your hometown? I thought you were just coming back to play, to relax or something."

Jing Xing even twitched his eyelids, "Do you think my posture seems to be just for fun? I still say such things to this day, you deserve to be the township chief, I guess you will only be able to nest in this place for the rest of your life."

Chen Xiangdong rubbed his nose, "Comrade Jing Xing, your temper is getting more and more aggressive, I haven't said anything yet."

"Then don't say anything at all. If you are free, I will take you to ride a horse. I just bought two horses here. Although they are not a good breed, they look like that. One is white and the other is black. Very handsome." There are now five horses in the park, with two functions, one is for tourists to ride and play, and the other is for the security of the manor as a car.The manor is quite big, and it takes a lot of time to go around it. If something goes wrong, running on two legs will definitely not be able to keep up.Most of the roads in the manor are too small for cars to pass and too steep for bicycles.Jing Xing simply bought a horse, which is very distinctive and convenient.

Now Jiang Gaowu and several of them have special uniforms, combined with the appearance design of guards of honor, the clothes are straight and straight, and they are very heroic.Jiang Gaowu is tall and has served in the army, and he has just been discharged from the army, and his military spirit has not yet dissipated.Many tourists came over and even took pictures with them, and gave Jiang Gaowu and the others to the United States.

Chen Xiangdong sighed, "Originally I couldn't bear to take care of the two of you. It was my aunt who called and said that something was wrong with my cousin recently. Let me watch it for fear that something might happen to him. After thinking about it for a long time, I guess it's the two of you. Something went wrong, and it seems to be the case now. Didn’t I look pretty good some time ago? It’s only been a few days. I think Liang Haoquan has changed into a different person, so thin that he is almost like a monkey. The other day I saw He almost didn't recognize it."

After that day, Liang Haoquan would still appear in Shouhe Village, and every time he appeared, Jing Xing would deliberately avoid it.Every day he would receive text messages from Liang Haoquan, some saying what he did today, some asking him to pay attention to rest, and some saying that in the past, there must be something every day, and he never left behind.Jing Xing didn't reply a single one, but Liang Haoquan still didn't get discouraged, and kept posting unremittingly.

Chen Xiangdong laughed, "Okay, I'll just ask as a routine, there's no need to be stressed. Anyway, I'm quite happy to see Liang Haoquan's inhuman and ghostly appearance now. My mother didn't use him as a role model when I was young. , My ears are callused, now I see how my mother will use him to teach me. But then again, it’s not a problem for him to run back and forth like this, so don’t get into a car accident someday.”

"Then I'll ask someone to throw him out."

"No, if this is the case, he must beat me to death. This man holds a lot of grudges, and I dare not offend him. If you don't want to tell him a few words, let him stop running around like this. If something happens to him, even The two of you have nothing to do with each other, you feel bad, right? After all, this matter has something to do with you, and if my aunt and the others know, they have to peel off your skin. This mother is the easiest to be indiscriminate .”

Liang Haoquan has now moved to Maoshi and started to enter new fields, and he is very busy every day.But every night, he ran from Maoshi to Shouhe Village, and even rented a house in the manor.Grandpa Jiang and the others knew about this, and they even let him go home, but Liang Haoquan refused, and he was not happy about it.Grandpa Jiang and the others had no choice but to let him go. From time to time, they would talk about this at the dinner table, thinking that Liang Haoquan was too out of touch.

Liang Haoquan went out early and returned late every day, sometimes he even returned to the manor in the early morning, and then went out early the next morning.These are what Jiang Gaowu and the others said. They often open the door for him at night or early in the morning, and they want to give him a key to the gate of the park.

Liang Haoquan would also come to Jiang's house in his spare time, either to have a look at Chenchen, or to chat with Grandpa Jiang.Liang Haoquan also looked for opportunities to talk to Jing Xing, but Jing Xing bypassed them.The two of them got along so casually that Jiang's family could see something was wrong, but no one asked.

Jing Xing didn't know what he wanted to do, but seeing that he didn't affect his life, he didn't care about it. Maybe after a long time, everyone calmed down, and it's time to return to the road and return to the bridge.

When Chen Xiangdong said that, Jing Xing remained silent.Seeing this, Chen Xiangdong couldn't say anything more, let him think about it for himself, anyway, he brought his words, so don't regret anything in the future and no one reminds him.
