Rebirth breaks you straight

Chapter 58 Eating Tofu

Fortunately, Liu Bingjie only stayed in Chen Zan for more than a week before going back.

Children in the countryside are different from children in the city. When the children in the city are on vacation, they will be busy with various cram schools. Except for the graduates who need make-up classes, the children in the countryside will have a full vacation, but this does not mean that You can play to your heart's content during the holidays. For a girl as old as Liu Bingjie, who has to help the family with housework, it is very rare to be able to sneak away for more than a week.

As soon as Liu Bingjie left, the faint unhappiness in Chen Zan's heart finally disappeared.This time, no one would be courteous to chatting, and he could do his own thing with peace of mind.Chen Zan didn't dare to delve into his mentality. He felt that he couldn't let Tan Tian like him, but he couldn't bear Tan Tian to like others. Isn't his mentality abnormal?In order not to entangle himself with this problem, he decided to find something to keep himself busy.

This year is already [-], and at the end of the year, the contract period for the orange orchard will come.The fruiting life of orange trees is limited, and the fruit produced in the past two years is obviously not as good as the previous two years in terms of quantity and quality.Everyone in the village sees it, and no one will contract it again.

Chen Zan knew that from next year, the orange orchard would become public. Because no one took care of it, the aging orange trees would no longer bear fruit, be eaten by moths, or die. People would chop all the orange trees home to make firewood.Within two years, the garden was completely barren, and the hundreds of acres of loess mountainous land were all overgrown with camphor trees, miscellaneous trees and white thatch.

He thinks that they should be used as early as possible, preferably after the oranges are harvested, all these orange trees should be dug up and planted with Camellia oleifera.However, this has to be voted by the villagers.

After Li Mazi was arrested last year, two bold women in the village mustered up the courage to expose Li Mazi's crime of bullying men and women. During the crackdown, Li Mazi was punished for several crimes and sentenced to ten years in prison.

As his cousin, the village head was not well supervised, and his prestige was discredited, so he was dismissed during the general election of the village cadres. The original accountant became the village head, and the position of accountant became vacant. Next, the accountant was approved by the villagers of the whole village.

There is also everyone's selfishness in electing Chen Changlong as an accountant.Right now, the Chen Changlong brothers are the richest people in Chenjiaao. In the future, any public construction in the village will be carried out by their brothers. If he becomes a village cadre, he will definitely take the lead. When they get money, they will naturally It's not easy to refuse.

Chen Zan is happy to see the results. Although the village cadres are not high-ranking officials, they have the right to speak in a village. At least one word will attract attention.

Chen Zan said to his father: "Dad, although the area of ​​Camellia oleifera in the back mountain of our family is not small, I don't think it can be a climate."

Chen Changlong knew that his son always had whimsical ideas, so he listened with great interest: "Do you want to expand the plant, Xiao Zan?"

Chen Zan said: "I saw a report on TV that the country is now advocating the planting of camellia oleifera. Several counties in our province have already started to develop camellia oleifera as an industry. It would be great if we could also develop an industry here. Everyone They all grow Camellia oleifera, and when the quantity increases, we won’t have to worry about selling them in the future. People will often come to buy them wholesale. We can even process and package them ourselves, make Camellia oleifera brand, and sell them directly to all parts of the country instead of wholesale to grain and oil station, the price will be even higher. By then, everyone will be the richest.”

Since becoming a village cadre, Chen Changlong has been more concerned about the country's policies. He has seen similar news: "Then you mean that you want everyone in our village to grow camellia oleifera?" And since he became a village cadre, , he is more sensitive to the slogan of getting rich first and getting rich later, and feels that it is not just a slogan, but should be his own responsibility.

Chen Zan nodded: "Yes, if everyone grows Camellia oleifera in the future and this area becomes an industry, the people in our village will not be the only ones who are rich. The surrounding villages will definitely learn from us. If the villages, towns, and counties If we all pay attention to it, it will be good for the economic development of our entire region."

Chen Changlong was shocked by his son's idea. He only wanted to make the whole village rich, but his son wanted to promote the economic development of the whole region. He is only 14 years old, so he is really a formidable young man.

Chen Changlong nodded and said, "It's not impossible, but we don't have much wasteland here."

Chen Zan said: "I heard Uncle Xu Wen say yesterday that they will not build an orange orchard next year, saying that the orange trees are getting old. It would be great if the orange orchards were used to grow camellia oleifera."

"It's true. The orange orchard will be re-contracted by the end of the year." Chen Changlong nodded, "But we have already re-contracted the back mountain, so it seems that we can no longer re-contract the orange orchard. If someone else re-contracts the orange orchard, there is no guarantee that tea trees will be planted." ah."

Chen Zan said: "It's easy to handle. We can't arrange it, but we can ask people we know to do it. For example, Tanzi's family has no money, so we can borrow it. It will be good to let them grow camellia oleifera. But if we dig out The cost of replanting is a bit high, and there is no return in the first few years. In fact, I think it is best to contract it from our family if it is possible.” If you manage it yourself, you can plant whatever you want.

Chen Changlong said: "In fact, growing honeysuckle is also good, and the payback period is two years shorter than Camellia oleifera."

Chen Zan shook his head: "Then it's better to grow Camellia oleifera. Honeysuckle has to be replanted every few years, and it takes one or two years each time. And the labor cost for picking flowers is too high. A family can at most I can only take care of one or two acres of land, and I can’t grow any more.” It doesn’t matter now, I’m afraid that after the labor cost rises in the future, the labor cost of one mu of land will be five to six hundred a day, and it will cost only half a month. It costs nearly ten thousand yuan, which is not worth it.

Seeing his father lost in thought, Chen Zan said, "Dad, the contracting of the orange orchard should be done as soon as possible. It is best to start the contract after the oranges are picked. Then there will be enough time to clear the garden and replant new seedlings."

Chen Changlong nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to the village head and branch secretary about this."

Chen Zan added: "Dad, the newspaper said that a new variety of Camellia oleifera has been produced, and the oil production is higher than that of our local Camellia oleifera. If all orange orchards grow camellia oleifera, we should plant a new variety."

Chen Changlong smiled: "I understand this." Their family planted this, so naturally they paid more attention to this aspect than others.

Chen Zan felt resentful in his heart.After chatting coldly, chatting gradually stopped pestering me.Every time they meet each other, they don't talk, at most they just smile, laughing ass, it's really rude, it will kill a person, and the tongue will flash when they say a word.He doesn't speak, and he doesn't speak, so he doesn't show weakness.It's best not to talk to yourself forever, just pretend that you don't know each other.

Chen Zan tried his best to concentrate on the mushroom shed at home. In the past two years, he did not pick up mushrooms and sell them, and let Tan Yang and Tan Wei earn the little money.He focuses on mushroom cultivation at home. In order to grow mushrooms, he bought a technical guide book on this topic, planted two new varieties, and walked around the mushroom house every day.

In addition to taking care of the mushrooms, he also took over the beekeeping at home. Although there are not many things to do, he still needs to check once a day to see if there are any stolen bees and whether the beehives are damaged.

Now there are already eight boxes of bees, and in addition to feeding my family, I can sell a lot of them every year.The price of honey is not cheap. A box of bees can produce more than 100 catties of honey every year, and almost [-] catties of honey a year. They can also earn thousands of dollars, which is enough pocket money for Chen Zan and his brother.

August is a harvest season, and Chen Zan and Tan Tian also received notifications from the No. [-] High School.A few days later, Chen Qiao's university admission letter also arrived. She applied for a well-known university in Shanghai, majoring in computer science.Chen Zan vaguely guessed that his sister's choice of Shanghai had something to do with Wang Wenjun.

Chen Zan sighed for a long time when he knew the major his sister had chosen. It's amazing that her sister is going to be a skilled person.These days, learning computers is indeed very popular. Her personality is quite suitable for learning these things. She is relatively calm, patient, and calm.It's just that when Chen Zan thought of those codes, he felt a headache, so he only felt envy and jealousy towards his sister.

When Chen Qiao got the notice, it was the [-]th birthday of Grandpa Chen Zan.The whole family decided to take this opportunity to have a good celebration. Regardless of the hot weather, they also wanted to celebrate their birthday with wine and a movie.

As for showing movies for big events, it was still very popular in rural areas in the 90s. Generally, people would invite projectionists to show movies to celebrate the completion of new houses, birthday celebrations or happy birthdays.

Before it was dark, I picked the most spacious Shauguping in the village, dug two pits on the side of the field, buried two straight tree trunks, and hung up the curtain with white background and black border.

People saw the white curtain from a long distance, listened to the music from the loudspeaker, and knew that there was a movie to watch tonight, so they all went home early to prepare dinner.The children couldn't wait to move the benches and chairs at home to occupy their seats, and urged their parents to finish their meal, and sat down on the field before dark.

Watching an open-air movie, the movie doesn't have to be the latest, the story should be exciting, and the most important thing is to watch the atmosphere and liveliness.Before it was dark, the field was full of people. The old people moved the benches and sat down in the front row early, and the children also sat on the ground at the front of the field.People from the same village, neighboring villages, and even a few villages away came here, and it was a grand event.

The seller of melon seeds and peanuts sat on the edge of the crowd by lighting ancient lanterns.Naturally, popsicles are sold in such a hot summer. Movies are played at the front, and the people below are eating melon seeds and sucking popsicles. It has more atmosphere than any high-end cinema.

Chen Zan misses this way of watching movies very much, with a rough and simple enthusiasm and happiness.This kind of enthusiasm gradually faded out of people's lives in the late 90s. At that time, color TV became popular and cable TV entered every household. People's spare time life became more and more abundant, but happiness could not be ignited by a simple open-air movie.

Today is his family's host, and seeing such a scene, I can't help feeling relieved.It was he who chose the movie, "Shaolin Temple" and "New Dragon Inn" are both classics that we will never get tired of watching.

Chat today did not go fishing, take a day off and prepare to watch a movie at night.

Tan Yang has now taken over his brother's popsicle business.This kid is very business-minded. Chen Zan's family has a lot of friends and relatives coming to celebrate the wedding, so he is dedicated to his family's business that day.One box was sold out before noon, and after lunch, Tan Yang ordered another two hundred mung bean popsicles and came back, planning to do business while watching a movie at night.

As a result, in the middle of the afternoon, the popsicles were sold out.Tan Yang knew that the purchase was low, so he hurriedly rode his bicycle to the street, and before the cold storage was off work, he wholesaled another two hundred popsicles. Who doesn't spend a little money when watching movies.Children want to eat popsicles, can adults not buy them?It's rare for people to be so leisurely. Don't you buy a popsicle when you're thirsty?It's all a business opportunity.

Tan Tian was too lazy to make do with Tan Yang, so he went directly to Tan Yang's incubator and took out a dozen popsicles.Tan Yangrou was in great pain: "Brother, I have to sell this for money, can you give away less favors?"

Chatting stared at him: "Look at your stingy look, I didn't give you this box for free? Didn't I take you there when you wholesaled popsicles? I didn't even settle accounts with you, what's wrong with eating a few of your popsicles?"

Tan Yang suddenly wilted, forget it, let's earn less.

Chat took a large handful of popsicles and sent them to Chen Zan and their relatives. Chen Qiao took one, Liu Bingjie took one with a smile, Liu Feng and Liu Min each, and Li Junrui also grabbed one. , several other young relatives of Chen Zan's family took it, and when it was Chen Zan's turn, there was only the last one left.

Chat sat down next to Chen Zan, and said with a smile, "Xiao Zan, I'll give you the last one. This one has the most mung beans."

Chen Zan saw that he had delivered all of them, and he gave the last one to himself, especially when he saw Liu Bingjie's complacent expression, as if chatting with him specially gave her popsicles, he felt a little uncomfortable.Although he knew that this was actually human nature, those were relatives and ladies, and they should have been given priority, but he couldn't control his emotions.

Seeing that Tan Tian had been busy for a while, the tip of his hair was dripping with sweat, and he hadn't eaten a bite yet, so he said, "You can eat it yourself. If I want to eat, I can find Yang Yang to buy it."

Tan Tian didn't say anything, just tore off the outer wrapping paper, took Chen Zan's hand, and stuffed the popsicle stick into his hand: "Eat it, how much does Tan Yang's popsicle cost? I'll get it later." .”

Chen Zan said: "Don't bully people to be honest, it's not easy to earn two pocket money." But he honestly licked a popsicle, it was sweet and cold, really enjoyable.

Tan Tian suddenly picked up Chen Zan's hand holding the popsicle, bit the place he had licked, and said vaguely while covering his mouth, "Okay, I won't bully him, let him make money, let's eat together Just one."

Chen Zan's hands were shaking so much that he didn't drop the popsicle on the ground, his face was burning hot, he was so fucking chattering, he openly teased him!Turning his head carefully to look at his sisters, brothers and sisters, none of them thought it was unusual, yes, the folk customs of this era are so simple, two good friends eat a popsicle, who would think about that.

Chen Zan took a hard look at Chattian, and bumped Chattian's stomach hard with his elbow.Chatted pretending to be in pain and screaming: "Xiao Zan, you are so stingy, what's wrong with just taking a bite of your popsicle, you still have so many."

Chen Zan said with a stern face, "You can eat it for you." He has bitten it, how can he eat it himself.

Tan Tian pretended to be innocent and said: "Xiao Zan, don't be so stingy, you think I'm dirty after taking a bite? You licked it just now, and I don't think you too bad."

He gritted his teeth and said to Chatian: "Shut up! If you push the jar further, I'll bite off your ear to drink. See if I dare! Be honest."

Chatting couldn't tell whether Chen Zan was really angry or fake, and if he really didn't make any other moves, he thought in his heart, bite, bite, I think you really don't want to bite.

But that popsicle ended up in Chen Zan's stomach!
