Wind back to the farm

Li Yi pushed open the door, the old and the young at the desk were stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up: "Li Xia?"

Many people in Dajiling are doing well, but they are only good. If age is used as one of the criteria, Li Xia is doing quite well, and it is worth standing up to welcome.

Li Xia hurried forward a few steps: "Uncle Da, brother Xiuxian."

He never felt that he was doing well. In their army, those who were around his age had much the same rank as him, and there were seniors who beat him by eight hundred miles at the same age.

Qi Xiuxian pulled a chair to ask Li to sit down, but when he saw that he was squatting obediently under the cedar at the door, he called out: "Calpa, come here, why are you squatting outside?"

Li Xia smiled and turned his head: "Shanxia, ​​these two are acquaintances of your Huaniu brother, so come here without being afraid of you."

Shanxia jumped over the threshold lightly, and Shi Shiran came to Li Xia's side with a rather reserved expression.

Li Xia first looked at Shanxia and introduced: "My second baby, Rowanxia's half-brother, Fir Shanxia."

Qi Xiuxian smiled and stretched out his hand: "My name is Qi Xiuxian, Shanxia, ​​it's an honor to meet you."

Shanxia put his right front paw on it and let out a soft "Wow".

Li Xia pointed to Qi Zeda and introduced: "This is Uncle Da, the one who competed with his uncle in picking persimmons and was thrown into the hospital together."

Qi Zeda laughed and stretched out his hand: "Shanxia, ​​I have heard of your name for a long time."

Sugishita stretched out his right front paw, and when he touched it, he left. Wang's voice was barely audible.

Qi Zeda raised his eyebrows: "Treat them differently, is it because I have many wrinkles on my face?"

Li Xia smiled: "That's one of them, the main reason is that you can throw yourself into the hospital, we Shanxia think you...hahaha."

Qi Zeda also smiled: "You think I have a problem with IQ, don't you? Thinking about it now, your uncle and I also felt that we were quite mentally retarded at that time."

After the introduction ceremony, the host and guests sat down, and Qi Zeda asked, "Li Xia, why are you back at this time?"

"Retired from the army." Li Xia made it clear in a few words about his discharge from the army and his desire to come back to start a small farm, or a farmhouse, or a rural garden.

A director of the village office and an accountant, he said right now.

Qi Zeda was stunned: "You give up such a good future in the army and come back to farm?"

The Huaxia Kingdom in this world is exactly the same as the one in Li Ha's memory: farmers are a class that is highly valued in government documents, but their status in the eyes of the public is quite low, and the cleaners with the lowest status in urban occupations can be despised farmer.

Li Xia nodded: "Yes."

Qi Zeda turned to look at Qi Xiuxian: "Why aren't you surprised by such a big event?"

Qi Xiuxian shrugged: "I won't be surprised by anything he does."

Qi Zeda said: "Li Xia, I would like to remind you that the farm is not easy to do. In the villages and towns to the north of Qinghe, a lot of houses have been opened in the past few years. I have been to two of them. When I was born, the business was very good. Eat I have to wait a long time for bowls of noodles. Now it seems that only one family is still open. Those projects at the beginning, such as farmhouse clay pot rice, picking, and health-care farming, are gone. They barely survive by selling fruits and eggs.

The traffic is convenient there, there are many people coming and going, and the fruits are cheaper and can be sold on the side of the road. This is not the case here, except for our relatives outside, almost no outsiders come.

And to do that, thieves eat money in the early stage, if it doesn't work... Tsk. "

Qi Zeda is a fastidious person, he didn't want to say something that might be suspected of cursing, and he was also afraid that what he said would seriously hurt Li Xia's face, so he turned to Qi Xiuxian: "What do you think?"

Qi Xiuxian didn't hesitate at all: "I think he can do it."

Li Xia smiled and shook hands with Qi Xiuxian: "Thank you!"

Qi Xiuxian: "You're welcome, just tell the truth."

"Tsk tsk, it's good to show off your relationship." Qi Zeda waved his hands at the two young people in distaste, but smiled to himself, "I'm an elder, so I don't think it's right. I must remind you, but if You all agree, so I won’t say more.”

Li Xia said sincerely, "Thank you uncle!"

Qi Zeda asked: "Na Lixia, where are you going to set up your...farm? There is too little arable land in our area, and the trees on the mountain are not allowed to be moved. It must not be possible."

Li Xia said: "Uncle Da, my feeling is opposite to yours. I don't think there is anything more suitable than ours. I just want to rent the mountains around our village, so I came to Brother Xiuxian and asked him about his situation first. , I didn’t expect you to be here, just in time, you guys discuss whether you would like to rent it to me.”

Qi Xiuxian and Qi Zeda were both stunned.

Qi Xiuxian said: "Li Xia, are you... sure? The mountains in Dajiling, or the mountains in our area, except for your Lihuaao, are all red and green when you look at them from a distance, but when you approach them, they are full of bare stones. Where there is soil, the soil is as thin as paper, and the ecology is quite fragile. Cotinus cotinus, silver flower, and wattle all grow in the crevices of the rocks for an unknown number of years. Once they are cut down or damaged, it is very difficult to restore them.

Moreover, the farm needs a lot of arable land to plant. For farmhouses, in addition to planting distinctive and attractive fruits and vegetables and highly ornamental flowers and trees, there is also a need for passenger flow. The forests on the mountain are all archived in the Forest Protection Institute. It is not allowed to move at all, not to mention that you have no place to grow melons, fruits, vegetables, flowers and trees. If there are too many people, the loss to the environment will be punished by the Forestry Protection Institute to make you doubt your life. "

"I know all of this." Li Xia said, "I completed the discharge procedures at the beginning of the year, and I only came back now. I was visiting other people's farms while visiting the mountains and rivers. I saw many successful ones. There are farms based on planting or animal husbandry and farms in the form of farmhouses. I think that as long as scientific planning and management are carried out, the kind of farms I envision should be fine.

Uncle Da, brother Xiuxian, I will seek professional help for the specific operation, and you can help me with the land use, okay? "

Qi Zeda nodded slowly: "Since you have already made a decision, uncle will not say much. The village office cannot decide on the matter of leasing those mountains without authorization. We have to discuss it with the villagers."

This is not only the law of Huaxia Kingdom, but also the tradition of Dajiling. All major events in the village must go through a few elders.

Li Xia said bluntly: "Success, you have discussed it and let me know. If our village is not willing to rent, I will go to Jiming Ridge to have a look."

Jimingling is the village on the north side of Dajiling. The village is about the same size as Dajiling, with a population of about [-]. However, Dajiling is much richer than Jimingling. Many people work in state agencies and large companies. A considerable number of them open their own shops in the city; Jimingling is the same as other villages, most of them are doing odd jobs.

In the past, the children of Jimingling, like Lihuaao, went to school in Dajiling. The household registration system was reformed 30 years ago, and there was no difference between urban and rural household registration. Some people in Jimingling went to settle in the city and transferred their children. Most of the schools in the city, whose families are still in Jimingling, transfer their children to relatively prosperous Qinglong Town or Qinghe County, but there are also some families who insist that all their children complete their pre-university studies in Dajiling .

There are quite a few classmates in Jimingling in Lixia, who are all in the same class from the first grade of primary school to the third grade of high school.

The reason for being in the same class is also very simple. The combined population of the three villages is less than [-], and there must not be many school-age children. Therefore, Dajiling has only one class for each grade from elementary school to high school.

Qi Xiuxian said: "Uncle Da told you that just now because he was worried that you would suffer if you didn't understand the situation. If you persist and promise not to destroy the existing ecology of the mountains, we would like to be able to rent those mountains to you.

Now there is no agricultural tax, and the cultivated land is owned by individuals. The village office has no income, and all expenses come from donations from villagers. We want to improve some village infrastructure, but we are embarrassed to mention it. I feel that there is a suspicion of moral coercion. With your lease Fee, many of our plans can be activated. "

Li Xia was curious: "For example?"

Qi Xiuxian said: "For example, the gate and the wall of the village should be repaired; we also want to beautify the river outside, strengthen the embankment, and create a safe zone, so that children in the village can play in the river with confidence in summer, and someone is responsible for the safety. first aid.

The river brought in from the village is too shallow, and it is enough to wash vegetables and soak your feet, so you can't swim. "

Qi Zeda said: "There is also heating. Everywhere in our village is good, but it is too cold in winter, and electric heating is too expensive. Xiuxian said that when he was playing in several European countries, he saw that the villages in those countries were much better than those where we live. The ones are still scattered, and all can be centrally heated, and wheat straw and corn stalks are used, which is economical and environmentally friendly.”

Li Xia gave Qi Xiuxian a thumbs up: "That's a good idea.

How about this, you are in charge of the materials for reinforcing the river embankment, such as stones, I will find someone to design and construct, and I will cover the beautification of the surrounding environment of the river, and you will rent me all the places except the cultivated land and the wall. "

Qi Zeda was a little excited: "Let's discuss it and call you when we're done."

He wanted to make this happen very much. Most of the existing things in the village, including Qingshi Street, were left by the ancestors.

The project of introducing river water into the village was proposed and funded by Qi Xiuxian's great-grandfather, the last Juren in the village more than 140 years ago.

100 years ago, when the government requested to change the village school into a school, the two schools were built by Li Xia’s great-grandfather, Qi Zeda, and Qi Dexian’s great-grandfather. electricity.

This move made them from the three wealthiest families in the village to the bottom ones in the village's economy, but they felt it was worth it, because they realized that electric lights are better for people's eyes than candles and kerosene lamps, and electric lights are an epoch-making event. Inventions can remind the whole village that they cannot be content with the status quo, otherwise, they will be abandoned by the outside world.

It was Qi Zhengyang's grandfather who started cable TV for the whole village 50 years ago.

30 years ago for the whole village...

Even the fitness equipment installed in recent years was funded by a few young people who are better off outside, including Qi Xiuxian, who has been the director of the village office for almost three years. He has done some good things for the villagers, and it is a shame to his ancestors.

Coming out of the village office, Qi Zeda went home, Qi Xiuxian and Li Xia stood on the side of the street and continued chatting.

Qi Xiuxian said jokingly: "Li Xia, I feel that you will definitely succeed, but intellectually, I don't believe that we can make money by running a farm here.

In this way, you pay me half or one third of your relocation fee, and let me help you manage the money. If you lose money, it will be mine, if you earn money, it will be yours, and you will invest the rest in the farm. I have a guarantee here. "

Li Xia: "I lost yours and gained mine, what are you trying to do?"

"Tu you continue to teach me to whistle." Qi Xiuxian said seriously, "Li Xia, before I went to college, I didn't have any troubles, and I was happy every day, but the days when I could occasionally listen to you whistle I'm happiest.

Now, when I think of you not going out anymore, we can see each other as often as we did when we were in school. I might hear you whistling at any time, and it feels more comfortable than having a body massage. "

Li Xia said: "Well, in order to rent your mountains smoothly, I will bribe you with a whistle.

You go home, I'll whistle to take you to the door. "

"No, it's too wasteful." Qi Xiuxian pointed in the direction of his home, "It's so far away, you can't even hear it clearly when you reach my house. I'll sit across from you and listen carefully if I have time some other day."

"Hehe, what an exaggeration." Li Xia said dumbfoundingly.

Then, without warning, he blew out a series of sweet whistles: "Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick Beep... beep, beep, beep, beep..., beep."

After a long chirp that crossed the sky, it was followed by a Qingyue chirp like a baby bird, and then it stopped abruptly.

……

I don't know how long it took for Qi Xiuxian to wake up from the dreamlike and intoxicating sound of birdsong. He looked at Li Xia for a long time, and then he held his forehead and laughed: "God, it's so... so good, your few voices are at least It can keep my mind sharp for half a year."

Li Xia said: "This is a free gift, and the bribed one is saved. When you want to hear it, I will play it for you."

"Okay, then I'll go first." Qi Xiuxian walked back home happily, "Think about my suggestion just now, about renting the land, and I'll call you the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Li Xia nodded: "I will seriously consider it."

Qi Xiuxian turned around gracefully, and ran away like a middle school student.
