Wind back to the farm

Chapter 12 The First Batch of Employees

One happy thing after another.

At 05:30 the next morning, it started to rain again.

For the next four days, every day at five o'clock, I played for about an hour. It was neither too big nor too small, neither too fast nor too slow, and Li Xia's heart was in full bloom.

The Qingshi Road in Daji Ridge is flat and spacious, leading to the gates of each house. The rain does not affect the old people playing chess, chatting, and walking the children, but it is not enough to go up the mountain. Clothes get soaked in a few minutes.

So Li Xia feels at ease these days.

During the two days of the weekend, Dajiling people who worked in Qinghe and Jiushang came back. At first he was a little nervous, but because of the continuous rain and the temperature dropped, the young people got used to the enjoyable way of living in the city. No, let alone uphill.

The cousin's family didn't come back, so his cousin Qi Qin called Li Xia and asked him if the farm was settled.

When Su Yani did the household survey, the adults who were not at home used WeChat or other instant messaging methods provided by family members, video interviewed, and then saved the video recordings for archiving. These video materials have the same legal effect as face-to-face signatures. The uncle’s family is the uncle. Helped to contact, the four of them agreed to rent out the mountain forest, and like other families, only kept one-third of the cultivated land, and rented the rest to Li Xia.

Li Xia told Qi Qin that the procedure was completed on the third day, and thousands of fruit trees had already been planted.

Qi Mian next to Qi Qin yelled: "Ah, I'm so envious, Brother Huami, you must run the farm well. There are more people going to the farm, so I will go home and open a cake shop. I really want to go back to the farm. Home."

Qi Qin also smiled and said: "It's a pity that the book bar is not suitable for the countryside. Otherwise, I will go back too; or, I can consider a different way of thinking and go home to do other things?"

Li Xia said: "I should work hard to make the business of the farm so good that even the bookstore can support it.

Qi Qin nodded: "Then brother is waiting to be the owner of the world's first farm bookstore."

His words were like a small match, with a "crack", it illuminated a small corner that Li Xia had completely forgotten these days.

"Watao, Maizi." Li Xia hung up the phone and ran out, running to the village office in one breath.

Qi Dexian, Qi Zeda, and Qi Xiuxian were all there, and the three of them were reading advertisements on the computer, looking at the stone materials for repairing the Lihua River, and bargaining with others.

Seeing Li Xia, Qi Xiuxian asked the two people to continue, he came over and asked Li Xia: "What happened?"

Li Xia said: "It's a big deal. I've been busy with the trees on the mountain for the past few days, and I forgot about planting wheat."

Qi Xiuxian was taken aback: "No, don't you feel that the solar terms have passed, and you don't want to plant anymore, but you forgot?"

He had talked about this with Qi Zeda a few days ago. He thought that since Li Xia had rented out the cultivated land, he would definitely not let the land go uncultivated and would hurry up to plant wheat. However, Li Xia did not move at all, and Qi Ze Da said that they usually finish planting wheat within a week after the National Day. When Li Xia came back, it was late October, and the best sowing period for winter wheat had already passed, so there would be no planting this year.

Li Xia was in a hurry: "Of course I forgot, if we don't grow wheat, what staple food will the tourists in the farm eat next year?"

Qi Xiuxian thought for a while: "Then I will contact you with the plow and harrow now?"

Li Xia nodded: "Yes, hurry up, and I have to talk to Uncle Da and Sister Dexian, let them talk to the villagers, this year is the Chinese New Year, if you plant vegetables again, you have to choose good varieties."

Qi Zeda and Qi Dexian had already come over after hearing what he said, and Li Xia told them his thoughts in a few words.

On the day Mou Zijuan and the others from Lin Baoyuan came back from the mountain, they passed by the cultivated land. Li Xia saw that most of the land was abandoned, but each family had some land planted with vegetables, cabbage, red, white radish, and yellow radish. Cabbage, celery, spinach, scallions, etc. At that time, Li Xia thought that when Mou Zijuan and the others left, he would discuss with a few people from the village office and ask them to discuss with the villagers to integrate their own land. Together, because he wants to grow wheat, and wheat is now sown by large machines, and it is inconvenient to plant small scattered plots.

But when he entered the village and saw the old man playing with his children, he felt that if the integration was done now, all the vegetables growing in the field would have to be shoveled out, which was inappropriate.

In winter in the north, there are only a few vegetables. Dajiling is [-] kilometers away from Qinglong Town. It is impossible for the old people to go there to buy vegetables. He shoveled the vegetables in the field. In the long winter, the villagers only have cabbage, radishes and Potatoes are gone.

He decided that the land would not be consolidated years ago, and he would be more troublesome when planting wheat. After the new year, he would ask the villagers to grow vegetables selectively. Because land consolidation is wasted.

Qi Dexian and Qi Zeda exchanged glances after listening, Qi Zeda stood up and said, "Li Xia, don't worry, I'll go out for a while, we'll talk when we come back."

Li Xia didn't know what Qi Zeda meant.

Qi Dexian said: "Don't worry about Uncle Da, if you decide to grow wheat, you should contact the seeds immediately. Lord Zhengyang and his family have been using seeds from Jiushang Agricultural University. I have a phone number here."

Li Xia turned on the phone, accepted the call from Qi Dexian, and immediately dialed it.

In the office next door, Qi Zeda was also calling the elders in the village, and he was the first to call old man Qi Su.

Qi Su is Qi Yaohui's grandfather, he succeeded Qi Xiuxian's grandfather Qi Che last year, and became the elder of Dajiling, who is equivalent to a gang elder. Qi Che voluntarily resigned from this position when his grandson Qi Xiuxian came back to be the accountant of the village office.

This is a practice that has not been stipulated in Dajiling for thousands of years, but successive elders have consciously implemented it. Qi Zeda's grandfather, Qi Shan, also resigned voluntarily when Qi Zeda was elected as the director of the village office.

There is another default practice, that is, when the age reaches [-] years old or the physical condition is not good, you will no longer be the elder.

After listening to Qi Zeda's words, Qi Su said, "You don't need to wait until the wheat is harvested, let's combine them now. As for the green vegetables, each family can make a phone call, and when the children come back on the weekend, they can just pick up some and it will be enough for the family to eat.

You don't have to call and ask those old guys anymore, they must have said the same thing. "

Qi Zeda said: "Master Su, what if someone doesn't want to vacate the land? Also, that kid Huami is kind-hearted, and he must feel sorry for everyone if he shoveled good food. , use other methods to make up for it, maybe he will suffer even more."

Qi Su said: "Because that child is kind-hearted and courteous, we are more reasonable. He has already given us the rent and signed the paperwork. From a legal point of view, those lands are already owned by Hua Fan. Isn't it right to make room for others? Who doesn't want to, let him come to me.

As for the kid who is too embarrassed to think about compensation, he must discuss it with you before making compensation, right?If you don't agree, that's fine. "

Although Qi Zeda felt that what Qi Su said was right, he still made a second call, Qi Yushu's grandfather Qi Mingdao.

Qi Mingdao said: "Zeda, you don't need to ask our opinion on such a clear matter.

The moment the seal of the village office is stamped on the lease document, the land is owned by Hua Fan. They let the villagers breed for more than half a month. Not cheap enough, is it? "

"You are right, Daoist."

Qi Zeda hung up the phone and went out to inform the villagers to collect vegetables from their fields.

By the time Li Xia signed the purchase agreement with the Agricultural University Seed Company using the computer in the village office, the villagers over there had already started gouging vegetables with shovels and baskets.

In the evening, when Li Xia was eating in his uncle's shop, several villagers who went to eat small hot pot saw him and said with a smile: "Hua Mi, everyone's food has been harvested, and the fruit trees in the field will be brought out tomorrow. You can start plowing the land, if you need help, just let me know.",

Li Xia was a little embarrassed: "Hey."

At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Xia was walking by the Lihua River with Shan Xia and Qiu Xia, and received a call from Qi Xiuxian, who was found. They were two brothers from Hu Xianling, surnamed Zhao.

Huxian Ridge is [-] kilometers away from Daji Ridge in the northeast direction of Daji Ridge. It sounds a bit far, but the two villages are actually neighbors.

No way, the villages in this area are so sparse.

Originally plowing and harrowing cost 45 yuan per acre respectively. Knowing that Lixia grows wheat, the two brothers immediately told Qi Xiuxian that they also have seeders and harvesters. One hundred yuan per mu of land will do.

Qi Xiuxian agreed for Li Xia.

A few years ago, when a large amount of cultivated land had not been abandoned, the prices of plowing, harrowing, sowing and harvesting in Dajiling were 45 yuan per mu of land, which was five yuan more expensive than other places. Now the three are only 100 yuan. The brothers are very kind. of.

Li Xia told Qi Xiuxian to ask people to come early on Monday morning, the sooner the better.

The next morning, Li Xia arrived at Daji Ridge at seven o'clock. As a result, when he arrived at the field, Qi Xiuxian was watching there, and he had already plowed almost three acres of land. There were five villagers behind the tractor, and they were responsible for picking up the plows. up weeds.

If the weeds are not picked up, next year people will have to find someone to hoe the ground, otherwise, the wheat will be swallowed by the weeds.

The younger brother of the Zhao family who was in charge of raking the land was a tall and strong man who looked very shrewd. Knowing that Lixia was the owner of the 1000 mu of land, he immediately said, "Boss, if we cooperate happily this time around, we can harvest wheat next year." Can you leave it to me and my brother too?"

Li Xia said, "After you finish the job, I'll take a look at the work and make a decision."

It just so happened that two sacks of land had been picked up, and we could start raking. The younger brother of the Zhao family happily climbed onto the tractor and said, "Then your job next year will definitely be ours."

This man is on the right track.Li Xia smiled and exchanged a look with Qi Xiuxian.

Qi Xiuxian waited for the tractor to drive away before he said: "I asked several people in Jiming Ridge, and they all said that these two brothers are hardworking and don't like to chatter."

The arable land in Dajiling is cultivated for thousands of years. There are no stones, so the plowing is very fast, and it can be finished in five days.

Harrowing is relatively finer than plowing, and it takes seven days to finish.

In mid-November, all preparations are ready for wheat planting.

Shen Houren and Gongbao, who have been busy on the mountain, received a call from the seed company in Lixia, and they didn't know about the wheat planting until they went down the mountain to inspect the wheat seeds.

The two became angry and refused to talk to Le Ha.

Li Xia is the boss, he needs to be magnanimous, and he can't get angry with the employees. He patiently explained: "We rented the land in Dajiling to open a farm, so we should bring some benefits to them. Besides, even if I don't consider this point, The arable land is right next to the village, and there are still vegetables in the private plots at the east and west ends, and people pick them every day, and the more than 1000 mu of land has been plowed overnight, and the weeds are gone, what do you want me to say?"

Shen Houren and Gong Bao are not stupid, on the contrary, they are very smart, but they couldn't find a suitable reason for a while.

Even so, the two employees were still angry, and they tried to get the right to sow wheat.

Li Xia vetoed: "No, I have already promised Master Zhao, I have to keep my word."

Shen Houren stared and wanted to argue, Li Xia patted the table: "Are you planning to take Gong Bao to be sliced ​​together? Or do you actually want me to be sliced ​​so that you can occupy my farm?"

Shen Houren jumped a few steps after a while: "I'm not, I don't."

Gong Bao seriously expressed his determination: "Eat, eat... No, boss, we won't let you be sliced. Whoever wants to cut you, we will cut him first."

Li Xia said coldly, "Thank you, no need."

Shen Hou benevolently negotiated conditions with Li Xia: "This time we didn't plan ahead, forget it, and you can't go to others through me and Gongbao for any planting-related matters in the farm in the future."

Li Xia said: "I try my best. I can't find people for the arable land. Now plowing, harrowing and harvesting are all machines. We only have a thousand acres of land. It's not worthwhile to buy so many machines."

Shen Hou's benevolence has become a puffer fish, and he refuses to sit at the same table with Li Xia for dinner.

Fortunately, at night, Shen Houren and Gong Bao were in no mood to be angry with the boss, and his second batch of fruit seedlings came.

It was still midnight, and there were still twenty super long cage cars.

The difference is that behind the cage car convoy, there are three extended trucks, and there are also trees on the trucks.

Li Xia ran over.

A person jumped out of the cab of the first truck, a handsome guy with long legs and beautiful appearance.

The handsome guy stretched out his hand to Li Xia: "Boss, my name is Huai Jiang, Huai of my heart, Jiang of Jiangshan, said of Kyushu, he has already told you about me."

Li Xia's brain: This man's voice is really nice, like dewdrops falling into the Lihua River.

Heart: What did you say?

Zui: "Oh, you are Huaijiang? Finally here, I have been waiting for you for several days."

Huaijiang looked at the trees on the truck and said, "Jiuzhou said that it's best not to plant these trees and flowers together with his brother's fruit trees. If possible, try to plant them where you often stay."

Li Xia was surprised: "It's not Guangshu, there are others?"

Huaijiang grabbed the carriage casually, jumped on it lightly, and put down the three sides of the carriage in a few strokes, revealing more than a dozen big trees, several large wooden boxes, and two large cages inside.

Li Xia pointed to the cage and asked, "What is that?"

Huai Jiang said: "Kyushu said that with a few animals, the farm will appear more energetic."

As he spoke, he picked up a cage and jumped down.

Made of wood as thick as an adult's arm, the square cage with a side length of more than 1.2 meters looks like a grasshopper cage made of branches in his hands.

Inside the grasshopper cage is a...

Li Xia asked, "Fox?"

It's not that Li Xia is so ignorant that he doesn't even know foxes, but that this one has a special color. It's not the red or white foxes that are common in zoos. It's just azure, with plump and soft fur, so good that it looks like a touch of silver. Light.

The tail is also different from ordinary foxes. It doesn't run straight to the end, but the hair at the tip of the tail is more fluffy, and the tip of the tail seems to be decorated with a beautiful peach-shaped tassel ball.

Huaijiang whistled at the fox: "Come, Feifei, meet the new owner."

Li Xia: "Feifei? Are you running very fast?"

Huaijiang said: "If he wants to, he can indeed run very fast, but he is usually homebound. When he finds a comfortable place, he can lie still for several days. Feifei's IQ is similar to that of the smartest dog, and he can understand Words, I also love to be clean, boss, you can hug it more in the future if you have nothing to do, and cultivate a relationship."

Li Xia liked animals very much, so he agreed happily, and even reached out to touch Feifei's back.

Feifei stood obediently and was petted, looking at Li Xia with big black eyes, seemed a little shy.

Gong Bao suddenly ran over: "Eat, eat...Boss, there are so many things that need to be unloaded for several hours. Find a place to rest."

He seemed to have just noticed a few more trucks, and was taken aback. When he saw Huaijiang, he was even more surprised: "You, you, you are also sending saplings? I, why do you look familiar?"

"I'm wrong." Huaijiang said bluntly, "I'm an employee of Fenghui Farm, I'm here to report now, and I'll bring something for our boss by the way."

Gong Bao puffed up his chest and said proudly: "I am the first batch of employees of Fenghui Farm, and I have been working here for almost a month."

Li Xia pulled Gongbao to his side and introduced them: "Huaijiang, this is Gongbao, a senior gardener, one of the first two employees of the farm.

Gong Bao, this is a new employee introduced by Xiao Shen's brother, named Huai Jiang, you will be colleagues from now on. "

Huaijiang nodded to Gongbao: "Hello."

Gong Bao: "Oh, you are fine too."

Li Xia looked at Gong Bao's awkward look and thought it was cute, he smiled and pushed him: "I'm busy now, you go and watch the unloading of the trucks first, I'll find a place to unload these trucks."

In addition to being capable, Gong Bao also has the advantage of being very obedient, and he ran away immediately after hearing the words.

The three carts brought by Huaijiang will be planted on the hills close to Fenghuiling. Large trucks are very common, and there are only more than 20 big trees on the three carts. They are not afraid of being seen by the villagers. Therefore, Lixia Take them along Dajiling Street.

After passing the Fenghui Bridge, Huaijiang jumped out of the car and said, "Boss, we brought professional loading and unloading tools, and it will be ready soon. You can find a place to rest, and I will call you after unloading."

Seeing a lot of good employees, Li made up his mind to be a good and considerate boss, turned around and left without asking a single question, "I'll go home and wait."

As soon as he entered the gate of the village, he saw two people standing in the middle of the street. Li Xia trotted over. They were old couples from No. 36 Middle Street. Li Xia called them Seventh Master and Seventh Grandma.

Like the fourth grandmother and fourth grandfather, Li Xia didn't know the origin of this name. When he was a child, his grandma asked him to call it that way, so he called it.

The seventh master and the seventh grandma saw Li Xia and asked, "You are a fan of flowers, it's already this time, are you still busy?"

Li Xia said: "There is no way, the saplings have been delivered, and the car must have thousands of dollars a day to take care of the capital. I am sorry to delay him."

Qi Ye nodded: "Yes, earning money is not easy, you have to be considerate of others."

Seventh Grandma said: "Your Seventh Master and I will go and help. The big ones can't be lifted, and the small saplings can hold a few bundles. Or, there are several cars, and you can't unload them until dawn?"

Li Xia said: "No need for grandma, I am looking for a professional company, they are responsible for moving the tree to the place, I don't have to worry about anything, just pay for it."

Seventh Grandma sighed: "Now there are professional companies for everything, convenience is convenience, but it is expensive."

After sending the two old people to the gate, Li Xia stood on the street and waited for a while, but he didn't find anyone from other families coming out, so he went back to No. 39.

At one o'clock in the morning, the phone rang.

Li Xia picked it up without looking at it: "Hey, are you done?"

"No, it will take a few days."

Li Xia sat up with a "huh" and said, "Captain."
