Love delays my farming

The Chuyao high-speed rail reloaded the bus, the bus reloaded the minibus, and traveled across the mountains to Taoyuan Village, a poor village under a certain impoverished county. After meeting the village chief and the lawyer waiting there, he made a boat and went to the island he inherited.

It is said to be an island, but it is actually a peninsula.A large piece of land stretches out from the mountain, surrounded by water.If you want to climb the mountains from land, it is more convenient to go by water, and it only takes more than ten minutes to row a boat directly from Taoyuan Village.

At the entrance to the island stands a mottled stone tablet with four big characters written on it: between mountains and seas.This stele is said to be old, and it was hewn out of a huge bluestone, but the weeds around it were neglected, and the bottommost characters on the stele were almost covered up.

The old village head struggled to speak plastic mandarin in a strong dialect, "At the beginning, we said that we wanted to develop, but it has never been able to develop. The places outside are only mountains or mountains, and the government has pulled the network cable. It is useless. Tourism? Who Come here for tourism, you don’t need anything. Those who came back and wanted to travel before lost money..."

The rower is the grandson of the old village chief, who is still in junior high school at the age of fourteen or fifteen.It's not that I'm not good at studying, it's mainly because I don't have money, and I go to school intermittently, but I'm going to take the high school entrance examination next year, and my biggest hope is to be able to enter the high school in the county outside the mountain.

Chu Yao followed behind the old village head, walking along the mountain road on the island with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and bypassed a mountain depression, and suddenly his eyes opened up.

The old village chief’s surname is Kang. Village chief Kang pointed to the house not far away and said, “That’s the house that your uncle and grandpa built back then. The carts and carts are all bluestone bricks. It’s warm in winter and cool in summer without being humid. The explanation is very good. Now my younger brother is helping to take care of it, and I knew you were here before, so I cleaned everything up."

Chu Yao's family is more complicated. His grandparents are actually grandparents. Back then, his grandmother was not in good health, and after giving birth to a daughter, he never regenerated.But this has become an old and extinct household in the village population, and it seems that anyone can bully and bully them.In a rage, the grandfather took his grandmother and daughter out of the village to seek a living, and worked as a teacher in a town for decades.His father was an orphan who had been working in the town, but he was tall, handsome, honest and hardworking.

Finally, after matching, his father married into the Chu family and gave birth to Chu Yao.

This island of more than 2 mu was left by a relative of the same clan in the hometown of his grandparents, and Chu Yao wanted to call him uncle.That uncle is said to have made a lot of money outside, but he has no children.He distributed all the movable and real estate of the family to the children of the same clan, but named Chu Yao to inherit the island.

At first, others were not convinced, but after seeing the requirements of the place and inheritance, they all gave up. The deserted island of more than 2 mu can only be developed for agriculture.Although there is no need to pay taxes on agricultural products these days, everyone knows how hard it is to open up wasteland and cultivate land, especially how much money they can make in the end.Rather than having such a large island, it would be better to take the hundreds of thousands of points you get and go to the town to buy a house to live in.

But Chu Yao is willing to inherit the island. After discussing with his parents, grandparents, he quit his job in 996, which made money, and brought a lot of things here to fight the frontier.

It is early spring now, and the temperature here is slightly lower than outside because of the proximity to the water.However, the tenacious plants have already turned green, putting a new green dress on a deserted island.

Kang Yongquan, the head of the village, and Kang Yongshun, his younger brother.The two chatted a few words in dialect, and Kang Yongshun said: "The houses here were built by your uncle and grandpa back then. They said they wanted to bring the whole family to live here, but they didn't come here in the end. But the houses are all good houses. , a total of five two-story buildings, all connected at the bottom, comfortable to live in. Originally, there were fruit trees such as peaches, persimmons, and walnuts planted on the mountain, but no one took care of them for a long time. Although they also bear fruit, they are all in Nagano You don’t have to worry about drinking water here, there is spring water behind the house, and a well in front of the house. The roof is also powered by solar energy, but the bath water has to be carried up by yourself..."

Chu Yao looked around. The island was really big, but it was said to be [-] mu, but the mountainous land accounted for nearly half of it, unlike the plains with flat cultivated fields.If you want to farm here, you have to combine it with terraced fields.

Kang Yongshun said that he went to the island once every ten days to clean up.There are also several plots of vegetables in the front and back of the yard. The climate here is good, and the vegetables grown are crisp, tender and sweet.But the transportation is too troublesome. Young people have gone out to beg for a living, and not many people are willing to come back to dig food from the soil.

Although they were surprised that Chu Yao, a well-behaved young man, should inherit such a poor island, but this is his own business after all, and they can't control so much.

Chu Yao originally wanted to walk around, but except around the house where he could stay, the other places were already covered with weeds and thorns.I can vaguely see the path of stone steps under the cover of some dead branches, but it is really too dreamy to walk along the road.

Kang Yongquan said: "Xiao Chu, if you really plan to live here, I suggest you get a dog. After all, this place is next to the mountain, and wild animals will come down occasionally. You came from the city by yourself, so I probably didn't see it." Pass those. It is convenient to have a dog."

Chu Yao was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Uncle Kang, what are the wild animals you are talking about? Wolves? Wild boars?" He came to farm, not to survive on a deserted island, so he didn't have that much ability to deal with them. those things.

Kang Yongquan quickly waved his hand and said: "Where is that, it's a weasel, a snake, a wild cat, etc. You should be more vigilant if you have a dog."

Only then did Chu Yao heave a sigh of relief. In fact, he is generally very satisfied with this place. He is 28 this year. He became a salesman in order to make more money, but he made a lot of money. It’s just that he has to work overtime and drink all the year round, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable. .Moreover, he made too much money and couldn't keep up with the increase in housing prices in first-tier cities. Later, the elderly at home fell ill, which made him determined to go back.

Now that there is such an island, the elderly in the family like it very much after seeing it, thinking of packing it up and living here for the elderly.The mountains and rivers are delicious, drinkable, and pollution-free. If you can't help it, you can live for decades.

The lawyer urged Chu Yao to sign the contract quickly. Although Chu Yao couldn't figure out how his uncle and grandfather had such a great ability to contract the island for so many years, and it would take another 100 years for him to inherit it, but judging by the expressions of the village chief and the lawyer, they seemed They were all calm and didn't think there was a problem.

After signing the contract, it was already dark.Village Chief Kang meant to ask Chu Yao to go back to the village to stay overnight, and then ask his grandson to help deliver all the salutes and couriers early tomorrow morning.It's best to pet a puppy from the village, or to be a companion.

Chu Yao had no objection and agreed.

In the evening, Village Chief Kang’s family stewed bacon with spring bamboo shoots and steamed rice.This rice is also grown by myself. I usually grow some food and vegetables, and raise some chickens, ducks and geese, so I don’t have to worry about food all year round.Usually go to the mountains to pick up some mushrooms, dig some bamboo shoots and sell them, which can earn at least a year's expenses.

"Actually, here we have beautiful mountains and rivers, and there were gods in the past, or why is it called Taoyuan Village? Unfortunately, it is too far away, carts can't get in, and road construction is expensive. Before, you can fish and dry fish for sale. But now everyone is looking for fresh products, so they can’t sell them for money.”

It is estimated that Village Chief Kang rarely sees people from other villages, or that there are capable people in the city of the other villages. In addition, after drinking two sips of wine, he couldn't hold back the conversation.

"The leaders at the top also want to develop, but they have no money. Young people are not willing to come back to farm. Without people, there will be no output. We can only rely on us, the old and the young, to do something. You all have Those who are capable can come here, and we are all happy to see it."

Aunt Man, the wife of the village chief, also wiped away tears. His family had three children, a daughter and two sons. The daughter also married outside the mountain, and the two sons even went out to work. Even going to the construction site to fight against bricks was better than farming at home. Earn more.There are still several children in the family who are going to school, and the old couple are reluctant to eat and drink. They use all the money they make to go to school. They only hope that they can study and go out, leave this beautiful but poor valley, and go outside to do decent jobs.

The village chief made the wine himself, and the spicy sorghum wine flowed down his throat and into his stomach, making Chu Yao blush.

Chu Yao has been developing for a long time. He sent some logistics over before, but he had to get up early in the morning and take a minibus with full power to go to the town outside the mountain. Waiting for the noon trip to follow the minibus back to the village.There is only one round trip a day, and the driver will be busy with the family land when he comes back. People in the village rely on his minibus for going out or shopping.

When he came back, the village head really helped to pet the two puppies, saying that they were the big dogs that specially helped the herb collectors look at the mountains. One was covered with gold and the other was a little black dog. They were chubby and cute. .

"I'm weaned, don't look small, I can still catch a mouse. During this period of time, I will let you Shun Ershu and my grandson go over to accompany you at night, but after a few days the busy spring is over, Liang Er has to go out read……"

Chu Yao hurriedly said: "Don't bother Uncle Kang, there is no one on the island, what can I be afraid of? Don't delay Liang'er's study, but if he has any questions he doesn't know, he can still come and ask me. I didn’t throw away all my knowledge.”

Village Chief Kang laughed so hard that all the creases on his face piled up. He helped Chu Yao load all the salutes on the boat, and brought him a lot of vegetable seeds, and said, "If you want to raise chickens and ducks in the future, just follow the I said. I'll go and touch it for you, and I'll make sure you're all in good spirits."

The boat babbled to the other side, and Village Chief Kang, his younger brother Kang Yongshun and grandson Kang Dongliang helped put everything back for Chu Yao.Chu Yao lived in the two-story building that Kang Yongshun lived in before. It was said to be on the second floor, but it was actually two and a half floors.

The first floor is the hall, storage room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms.On the second floor are four bedrooms and a bathroom.Although the furniture and everything are very simple, but this bathroom has a flush toilet, and the shower room is separated by a plastic curtain, which is very bright and clean.

Above is an attic and a large terrace.A few dried bamboo shoots covered with curtains were dried on the terrace. Second Uncle Kang cleaned up the house and waited for Chu Yao to come over these few days.

In addition, there are two fire stoves in the downstairs kitchen, both of which are tiled.There are also half a cylinder of rice and half a cylinder of noodles.The vegetables and eggs were bought and brought from the village today, and Village Chief Kang even gave them two pieces of bacon.

Chu Yao was indeed a little afraid of snakes and weasels, so he didn't dare to live on the first floor like Uncle Kang, but packed up the attic and used it as a bedroom.Although it is said to be an attic, this house is spacious. The attic is more than 20 square meters, and there is a lot of room for a small double bed.It's just that there is no big wardrobe in the room, there is only a hanger made of bamboo, which can hang some long-wearing clothes.

There is electricity and internet, no need to work overtime, and no need to face annoying leaders.

Chu Yao felt that this was the life he yearned for the most.
