Rebirth breaks you straight

Chapter 6 Please Call Me Jar

At night, a family of three sat around and ate under the dim light.While chopping the rice, Chen Zan turned his big eyes, thinking about how to speak and how to be convincing.After all, he is too young, and it is impossible for parents to listen to a child.

Chen Changlong boasted, "Xiao Zan is sensible today, and knows how to hunt pigweed."

Liu Shuangshuang is a strict mother who doesn't praise her children. She asked Chen Zan, "Have you done your homework?"

Chen Zan nodded: "I did."

"I'll show it to your dad for inspection later." Liu Shuangshuang said.

"Oh." Chen Zan didn't take it seriously. As for homework in the fourth grade of elementary school, do you still need to check it? He has a much higher education than his parents.

Chen Changlong said: "Just do it, and let the teacher check it tomorrow. I have something to do tonight, so I have to discuss it with Changsheng." Chen Changsheng is Chen Zan's second uncle.

Liu Shuangshuang looked at her husband: "What are you discussing?"

"Didn't the old party secretary say that Shazhou and the orange orchard should be contracted out, and I will discuss with Changsheng whether to contract an orchard." Chen Changlong said.

Chen Zan swallowed a mouthful of rice: "Didn't Uncle San say that the back mountain should also be contracted out?"

Liu Shuangshuang glanced at her son: "How do you know?"

"I heard him talking to Brother Er Liang when I was hunting pigweed today." Chen Zan replied.

Chen Changlong quickly finished his meal and put down his chopsticks: "The back mountain is useless, no one will want it."

Liu Shuangshuang asked: "Then shall we build an orange orchard or a sandbar?"

Chen Changlong took a sip of water: "Orange orchard, Changsheng used to grow oranges in the team, and he knows how to take care of them."

"How much will it cost?" Liu Shuangshuang asked.

"The orange orchard can produce at least [-] to [-] catties of oranges every year, and the extra year can be [-] to [-] catties. If it is contracted, it will take at least four to five thousand years." Chen Changlong made a calculation, which shocked Liu Shuangshuang. Jump.

"If you want so much money, how much can you earn?" Liu Shuangshuang asked hastily, 5000 yuan is almost equivalent to the entire savings of the family.

Chen Changlong analyzed: "Even if the oranges cost [-] cents a catty, if the output is [-] catties, if it is done well, it will not be a problem to earn three or four thousand a year."

Chen Zan said while eating: "Then the oranges must bear more fruit, and the price will not drop, and there will be no pests."

This is telling the truth. He remembers that one year when he was in middle school, the price of oranges dropped to three cents a catty, which was still the retail price. People stored oranges at home and were reluctant to sell them, and ended up with whole baskets of rotten oranges. If it is poured out and made into fertilizer, the capital will not be recovered.

The key is that orange trees still have a lifespan. Ordinary orange trees can only bear fruit for more than ten years. After the fruit-bearing age, the tree is old and can only be cut down for firewood.The orange orchard in the village can only bear fruit for three to five years at most, and it will be gone after that.

This sentence stunned Chen Changlong and his wife.

Liu Shuangshuang said: "Children, what do you know? Eat your food." Turning to her husband, she said, "It's risky to grow oranges. Why don't you build a sandbank? There is so much sand on the island, there must be some profits. My brother built a house last year, and it cost 18 yuan a car to buy sand.”

Chen Zan stuck out his tongue secretly. It was his mother who had the foresight. Digging sand is a physical job, not a technical job. Except when the water is flooding, you can't dig it, and you can dig it at other times. This business is not at a disadvantage.It's just that he remembered that Shazhou was the lead contractor for the powerful Li Mazi in the village. Li Mazi didn't pay a penny, but he made a lot of money in the end, at least seven or eight thousand. This is a model of empty-handed white wolves.

Chen Changlong said: "The sandbar is not bad, but such a big sandbar needs at least 6000 to [-] yuan."

Chen Zan said slowly: "Today Sanbo told Brother Erliang that at least [-] to [-] will be paid, and [-] won't be a loss."

Liu Shuangshuang shook her hand holding the chopsticks: "Let's forget it, we need so much money, all the money in our family is not enough. I think it's better not to contract. I sold two pigs this year, and I will follow you next year." My natal family can build a house by borrowing some money.” At this time, the price of goods is very cheap, and 1 yuan can almost build four or five bright red brick bungalows.

Chen Zan added: "I heard that Li Mazi also wants to cover the sandbar."

Chen Changlong and Liu Shuangshuang stopped talking.

After a while, Chen Zan said in a low voice, "Dad, actually, I think the back mountain can be covered."

Chen Changlong looked at his son with interest: "Son, tell me."

Chen Zan said: "There are many bacteria on the mountain, and they will all belong to our family in the future."

Liu Shuangshuang laughed: "Kids, what do you know? Those things are worthless."

Chen Zan said: "Who says it's worthless? My teacher said that wild mushrooms can be sold for a lot of money in the city. There are so many bamboos and tea trees on the mountain, and so many trees. Trees, bamboos, bamboo shoots Ah and tea oil can be sold."

Chen Changlong looked at his son suspiciously: "Xiao Zan, how do you know this?"

Chen Zan lowered his head: "My teacher said so."

Chen Changlong frowned, thought for a long time, and nodded: "These things are worthless in our mountains, but they can be sold outside. I went to the provincial capital the year before last and saw dried bamboo shoots for three or four yuan a catty. So it’s not impossible to do this, it’s just how to do it.”

Liu Shuangshuang said: "Don't think too much about it. Most of the tea trees haven't set fruit yet. The weeds inside are taller than the tea trees, and many of the trees are dead. How many tea seeds can they produce in a year?"

Chen Zan said in a low voice: "That's because no one manages it, of course it won't work." Camellia oleifera trees bear fruit in four to five years, and they have at least four to fifty years of fruit bearing age after bearing fruit, and some are promising.

Chen Changlong also echoed his son: "That is, just get rid of the weeds, apply some fertilizer, and the fruit will grow in two years."

Liu Shuangshuang frowned: "It's just how much money it takes to cover such a big back mountain. If it's four or five thousand, it's impossible to make back the capital in a year."

Chen Changlong nodded: "With such a wide area, there is no place to get it for thousands of yuan, and the first year will definitely not make it back. I guess few people in the back mountain will want it."

Chen Zan knew that if he contracted the contract, he would definitely not be able to get back the money in the first two years, but if he contracted it, he would make a long-term plan, clean up those weeds and shrubs, and plant camellia oleifera or honeysuckle in the barren place. There will definitely be a super value return.

Chen Zan rolled his eyes: "Dad, if you think it's not worth the contract, you can just offer a price slightly higher than the reserve price. We don't want it if it's higher, and we won't suffer too much if it's lower."

Both Chen Changlong and Liu Shuangshuang looked at their sons with some strange eyes: "Your family belongs to a family, do you know what the reserve price is?"

Chen Zan shook his head: "I heard that Uncle San was talking about the reserve price with Brother Erliang, what is the reserve price?"

Chen Changlong smiled and patted his son on the back of the head: "You little brat, you don't know what the bottom price is, and you still ask your father to contract the back mountain."

Chen Zan was a little anxious: "Dad, will our family take care of it?"

Liu Shuangshuang urged his son to eat: "Don't worry about it so much, I'm still waiting to clear the table after eating."

Chen Zan muttered: "It would be nice to wrap it up, and all the fungus on the mountain will be mine in the future."

Both Chen Changlong and Liu Shuangshuang smiled helplessly and shook their heads. What the children thought was simplicity, how could it be so easy.Even if the back mountain is contracted, the fungus must be picked up by others.

Early the next morning, Chen Zan got up for a run.Liu Shuangshuang has already got up and is brushing her teeth.

Chen Zan reached out to his mother: "Mom, give me two dollars."

Liu Shuangshuang glared at him with her toothbrush in her mouth, and said vaguely, "What do you want money for?"

Chen Zan bared his teeth at his mother: "I want to brush my teeth too."

Liu Shuangshuang took out the toothbrush and said with a smile: "Ah, the kids know their hobbies too. Wait a minute, I'll get you some money." After speaking, he rinsed his mouth with water, put his hand into his pocket, and touched it. Two yuan is out, "The toothbrush only costs one yuan and five, don't waste the rest."

"Thank you Mom. Don't worry, I won't waste money randomly." Chen Zan put the money in his pocket and ran out the door.

Chatting came up, yawning: "Morning, Xiao Zan. Let me tell you, I will go running with you today."

Chen Zan was a little surprised. What kind of medicine did this guy take, and he got up to run without sleeping in.Chen Zan stopped and twisted his joints.

Tan Tian looked at him in surprise: "What are you doing, Xiao Zan?"

"Warm up and move your muscles to avoid straining." Chen Zan said expressionlessly.

Chatting became even more curious: "Xiao Zan, how do you know this?"

"My sister taught me." The physical education classes in rural primary schools are all game classes, and the teachers are also part-time teachers. Who cares about these warm-up exercises?

Chat also imitated his appearance and moved, but mostly out of curiosity and playfulness.

After starting to run, Tantian let go of his feet and started to rush forward, shaking his hands, running like a bear.Chen Zan ignored him and ran at his own pace.Chatting left him a long way and fell back: "Xiao Zan, why are you so slow?"

Chen Zan rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not competing with you, I just get up and jog to exercise."

"Oh." Tan Tian slowed down and ran with Chen Zan, but after running, he speeded up unconsciously, throwing Chen Zan off by a large margin.

Chatting had no choice but to turn back and run with him.Chen Zan said: "You can run your own way when chatting, just have your own rhythm, and leave me alone."

The chat simply stopped: "Xiao Zan, are you still angry with me?"

Chen Zan was puzzled: "No, why do you say that." It was true that he didn't want to talk to him.

Chatting a little aggrievedly, he said, "Since I accidentally caused you to fall off the tree, you have been calling me by the title of the book, and you don't call me by my nickname anymore."

Chen Zan stopped suddenly, yes, a long, long time ago, he had always called Tan Tian Wei Tanzi affectionately, and later they each went to different middle schools, and the two of them no longer had such an intimate feeling when they met, so they changed. their respective book titles.Although this is a kind of respect, it also represents alienation.

Chat's face is dark, because of sports, his face is flushed, red in the black, his eyes are black and bright, he inherited his mother's beautiful double eyelids, he looks like a strange child.

Tan Tian was one year older than Chen Zan. Chen Zan recalled that when he was a child, he often ran behind Chat Tian's butt because he knew how to play. He learned all kinds of novel and fun tricks very quickly, such as making a slingshot, rolling a hoop, doing Spinning tops, making skateboards, etc., I have never been afraid of fighting with others, no matter whether I win or lose, I am a bit desperate.So many children are a little in awe of him. Among the young children, he can be regarded as the leader.

Ever since I was reborn, I wanted to keep a distance and distance from Chatian, so I took on the attitude I had before rebirth. Unexpectedly, because of guilt, Chatian complimented him on everything and stuck together like a piece of brown candy. The position seems to be somewhat reversed.

Chen Zan smiled covertly: "I'm joking with you. Tanzi, run quickly, if you don't run, I'll kick your jar around."

Chat finally smiled with relief, and the little tiger teeth showed: "Okay, let's see who runs to the foot of the mountain first."

The village is more than a mile away from the back mountain, and running back and forth will cover a distance of more than 1000 meters. As a child's exercise distance, it is not too much, not too little, just right.

When they ran home, the two of them had already started talking and laughing.Chen Zan bought a toothbrush at the canteen at the entrance of the village, chatted and watched him buy a toothbrush: "Bought for your father?"

Chen Zan shook his head: "I bought it myself."

"You also use this?" Chatting was a little curious, adults need to brush their teeth, why do children brush their teeth.

Chen Zan laughed. In this era when everything is scarce, children don’t pay attention to these things, but people in later generations pay attention. Many children start brushing their teeth when they are three or four years old. Habit. "Have you replaced your teeth? It's time to brush your teeth. If you don't brush now, your teeth will be yellow and black in the future, and it will be meaningless to brush again."

"Then I also asked my mother for money to buy a toothbrush." ​​Tan Tian was also moved. In fact, in Chat Tian's mind, brushing teeth is actually following the fashion of adults, but Chen Zan has already brushed his teeth, how can he lag behind.
