It's hard to be a stepmother

Two years later.

The Qingshan Tea Garden in Qingshan Village has been bought, and we have spent two years building the popular Qingshan Tea brand. We can sign a contract with Huojia Yunjing Group in a dignified way. Apart from Yunjing Group, Qingshan Tea has also entered the public's sight It becomes a good gift for visiting relatives and friends.

This brand can be released within two years, firstly thanks to Huo Hanchuan's early funding, and secondly thanks to the village head for maintaining the original pure hand-made tea craft.

The village chief handed over this piece of tea garden to me. He probably thought that my appearance in his tea promotion had brought a very high sales volume of his tea.

When I first started, I was in a hurry and didn’t know where to start. It’s okay to let me be a tea spokesperson, but I don’t know anything about managing a tea mountain.

But Huo Hanchuan asked me if I liked this place, and I did.

I love the seclusion of the verdant mountains, and I love the untouched craftsmanship.

He said that liking is enough.

After buying this piece of tea garden, we have almost lived here. Seven tea garden chain bases have been built so far, but Qingshan Village is the birthplace of Qingshan tea, so we live here for a longer time every year.This year too, we came here before spring to pick the first crop of spring tea.

Qingshan Village has changed a bit in the past two years, and the road is easy to walk, although it is still Qingshi.The brigade courtyard has also been refurbished, redecorated on the basis of the ancient style, maintaining the previous style. Since the promotional film was released, the ancient style here has attracted many film and television crews who came here to shoot scenes.

I built the Qingshan tea garden film and television base under the Qingshan Mountain, hoping to increase the income for the people in the village as much as possible without damaging the environment, because the tea garden is all there is, and this side is pure natural, and the scale cannot be scaled. If it is further expanded, the economic benefits will be fixed.

Although the village head said that this would be good, their village is now self-sufficient, with no problems in life, and the school is well established, ranging from kindergartens, primary schools to junior high schools, and a high school jointly built with other villages has also been established, which is better than before. So much better.

Most importantly, he hopes that this mountain can be as green as before, because this is where their ancestors lived for generations.

His original intention is the same as mine, and I also hope that this mountain and this tea garden will remain in their original state.This is the brand attribute of our Qingshan tea.

The company's plan this year is to combine Qingshancha and its derivative brand [Qingshan Inn] with TV dramas to make this brand more popular.I chose a popular IP script, and the filming location is here.

That's why Huo Hanchuan, Huo Baize and I came here early this year, to shoot the spring tea promotional film first and then the TV series.After the TV series is released, the co-branded spring tea will also come out, and [Qingshan Inn], a tea shop that has just been established for one year, will also be well known to the public.

Huo Baize is 7 years old this year, and he has grown taller, a head taller than a row of tea trees.

Because of this, he insisted on carrying a bamboo basket by himself this year. After carrying the bamboo basket, there were only two legs left from the back. Huo Yunlan pointed at me: "Brother Chen, look at this little man, haha, None are as high as a bamboo basket."

This aunt smiled unceremoniously. Huo Baize didn't know what it meant, so he turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Auntie, what are you laughing at?"

This time he looked back really like what Huo Yunlan described, just a little higher than the bamboo basket, Huo Yunlan smiled and turned his head away, Huo Baize and I smiled: "Are you sure you can do it in a while?"

Huo Baize said loudly: "Yes, I will definitely be better than Dad!"

He is quite good at finding someone to compare with. Among us, his dad is the slowest picker. I smiled and nodded: "That's for sure."

His father took a look at me and protested, "I picked them very quickly, too."

I just laughed at Huo Hanchuan's words of saving face and did not comment. Judging from the speed of the past two years, he is not as good as Huo Baize. One is that he is too tall, and bending over to pick tea does not have Huo Baize's innate advantages. It's because his hand speed is really too slow. Of course, most of the reason is that he wants Huo Baize to work more.

Although Huo Baize is getting older, his mind hasn't grown much. He can't stand boasting, and the more he praises, the more vigorous he is. Last year he picked half a catty of tea here, and it was half a catty after roasting. It was very standard Yuqian tea. It took us three full days to gather enough for just two leaves. This kid usually has no stamina, and writing big characters is procrastinated every day until he has to write them.

So this is not easy, Huo Baize saw that I was sure of him, and asked me proudly: "Uncle Xiao, do I pick more than Dad!"

The exclamation mark was used, so it is definitely affirmative, I nodded: "Yes, you are faster than him, and the picking is also better than his standard."

I'm telling the truth, because Huo Hanchuan has great strength, he strikes hard, which is not very good for Xincha.After this crop is over, it will grow again, and I ask him to slow down every time.

Huo Hanchuan looked at me with gloomy eyes, I pretended I didn't see him, how old he was, and he was still arguing with children.

Huo Baize got my affirmation, and stretched out his hands to me and his father: "Let's start the competition by high-fiving!" Huo Hanchuan followed his instructions and put his hands on the bottom, and I stacked on top of him, followed by Huo Yunlan, she and I He smiled and said, "I want to compete with you too!"

Huo Baize was very happy at the top: "I want to take the first place! It's started! Grandpa Yu, you will be our referee!"

Yu Bo was on the other side of Huo Baize, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will try my best to catch up with Xiao Ze!"

There were more people here this time. Huo Yunlan graduated from university and was going to study abroad in a few days, so Huo Hanchuan invited her out for a briefing.Because of the large number of people, they took Yu Bo, Wang Ma, Chen Jie, and Zhou Rui with them.

In addition, some people from the Qingshan Tea brand department also came. Many of these people were former employees of Huo Hanchuan. They have created many well-known brands. for.

After receiving their instructions, we picked freely, and the promotional film can be edited later.

Huo Baize started to pick immediately after he clapped his hands. I praised him for being right. His little hands are very dexterous. He picked two tea buds in one go. They are light and dexterous, much better than his writing big characters.

This time, the main character in Qingshan Tea's promotional video is still Huo Baize. My endorsement for Qingshan Tea is not as effective as him, because Huo Baize is very serious about picking tea every time. Although he doesn't have much patience, he really likes it when picking tea.

Every time, the little hand is as dexterous as a butterfly, picking one and putting it down, but this time because the basket is not in front of him, he is a bit inconvenient, and a handful of tea leaves will fall to the ground.

Huo Hanchuan adjusted him across the tea ridge, and Huo Baize called him: "Then dad's time just now doesn't count!"

Huo Hanchuan agreed: "Okay, don't worry, I can't pick you anyway."

It's not over yet, he has already given up No.1.Huo Baize laughed: "It's good that you know."

Huo Hanchuan told him again across the tea ridge: "So don't worry, don't fall, or the tea in the basket will be scattered."

Huo Baize agreed and went back to picking tea.

After Huo Baize turned around, he also told me to tell Bo Yu: "Bo Yu, don't follow him closely, he's fine on his own, don't get down on the ground, it's been raining, the ground is slippery, Xiao Chen you Slow down too."

Yu Bo and I also agreed, I will pick a ridge of tea with him, and we will pick each other, so that it is not easy to miss. Before picking, Huo Hanchuan said to himself: "Should we pick it lightly, so as not to hurt the tea tree?"

He still remembers what I told him before. In fact, it’s not his fault. We are all big men, and the strength in our hands is heavier than them. I smiled at him: "Yes, you don’t have to worry, I will pick quickly."

Huo Hanchuan only smiled: "I can't hold you back, although..."

Before he finished speaking, Huo Baize heard it. Huo Yunlan and Huo Baize shared a row of tea, and before Huo Baize spoke, he said loudly: "Xiao Ze, I will definitely not hold you back!"

Our game is to have two people share a ridge of tea, to see who picks the end first, not to be missed, and to be fast and good.

Huo Hanchuan and I actually struggled to pick tea. We are both tall enough to bend over almost the whole time. Huo Hanchuan really tried his best this time. He picked tea very quickly and did not hold me back. It is bent, it must be very tiring, I let him rest for a while.

He glanced at Huo Baize in front of him, and straightened his waist: "It's really not as good as a child, you should also rest for a while and drink some water."

There was water next to the bamboo basket, and he handed me a bottle: "Anyway, we can't catch up with them."

He said towards the front, so Huo Yunlan said to Huo Baize: "Xiao Ze, let's take a break too, your father can't catch up with us."

Huo Baize looked back at me: "Uncle Xiao can catch up to me!"

I waved to him and said, "I can't catch up, we are resting now."

I stretched my lower back, Huo Hanchuan was also beating his waist, I said to him: "If you are tired, send the tea to the fields, I will pick them."

He said very face-saving: "I'm not tired, I'm separated by the kang. Is our thick bedding removed too early?"

It’s already spring, so yesterday we removed all the thick quilts on the kang. The houses in the tea garden film and television base are all antique buildings, and the inside is a real kang, which is relatively hard, so it was not very comfortable without the thick quilts at first.

"Uncle Yu said that sleeping on a hard kang is good, especially for children, it's good for their spine, and for us adults,"

"Good waist!" Before he could finish, he took it up himself.

All right, he'll just remember that.

His voice was a bit loud, and Huo Baize in front turned around and called us: "Little uncle, Dad, hurry up, don't keep chatting and being lazy."

Let Huo Baize talk about us, I am really ashamed.

I poured out the almost full tea in the basket to Huo Hanchuan and told him to take it back, and I continued picking tea.

Huo Baize speeded up earlier, I think what Yu Bo said was right, children sleep well on a hard bed, and their small and soft bodies look very flexible.

Huo Baize turned his head and waved at me, and I waved at him too: "Right away!"

At noon we finally had almost finished picking. During the lunch break, Huo Baize went to the river to dig fish again. Children are better than adults and have boundless energy.He dragged me and Huo Hanchuan to fish: "Uncle Xiao, ask Dad to fry loach for us at night!"

"Okay, I'll blow up as much as you two dug." Huo Hanchuan said boldly.

"You dig too! Dad!"

"Okay, let's compete to see who can dig more!"

In the tea-picking competition, Huo Hanchuan failed to beat Huo Baize, and decided to show off his skills when fishing.

This tea garden has always maintained its original appearance, even the running water in the mountains. We dug from this field to the field below, mixed up the stream water, and dug out a lot. Huo Yunlan was still She didn't dare to catch loach, but seeing how vigorously I turned over, she couldn't help asking me: "Brother Chen, are you afraid when you grab it slippery?"

Now I am not afraid, because it is not the loach that is catching me, I shook my head at Huo Yunlan: "I am not afraid when I get used to it." I was afraid at the beginning when I caught the loach, but later I just wanted to catch it, because it If you always want to run, you just want to catch it, and you are forced to do so.

Huo Baize called her from downstream: "Auntie, hurry up and catch her!"

Huo Yunlan passed by, so I looked at Huo Hanchuan who was squatting next to me, he was holding my hand.

Fishing in troubled waters, did you touch me?
