Chapter 42

In the past few years, several people in Yuzhuang have made a fortune. The Chashan Fish Pond in the village can make some stable money, but people in Yuzhuang are increasingly looking down on them. Investments are all about millions of profits.Going to Baizhou, the provincial capital, or the surrounding provinces to get a piece of the real estate pie, set up an electronics factory, a clothing factory, and a food factory, even if you just carry a bag and walk around with acquaintances every day to "provide financial help" is no worse than staring at two or three. Is black fish crucian carp and grass carp strong?Isn't that more comfortable than basking in the sun and raining hard on the tea mountain?

Yu Wenzhao, who has retired as the village party secretary, was reluctant to let the tea garden be deserted, so he rented the tea mountain from the same village and began to restore the pastoral life of sunrise and sunset.In the early years, there were more and more cars in the village, but unfortunately the main road is the stone-paved stair road that has been around for hundreds of years, and cars can't drive up at all.Now his younger generation, Yu Tianqi, has taken up the post of the village party secretary. The young people have many ideas and practical actions. They ran out of the plan and brought in funds. They said that they should build another road around the mountain along the Chashan Mountain to the back of the village.He was more creative and poured out a parking lot in a vacant lot on the top of the tea mountain, so that the old man would collect money with his pocket all day long.

Carrying the former party secretary Yu Wenzhao who was in his early years, he went to Chashan and met Yu Tianqi's father-in-law. The other party used to see him politely and flatteringly, but now he just reached out to help his pocket and nodded to Yu Wenzhao in a very official way, "Old Yu , go to work on your tea mountain again?" Listening to his tone without looking at his face, he is even more county magistrate than the county magistrate.

Yu Wenzhao also nodded, but did not speak.He has an arrogance that he developed after resigning from office: if others are not enthusiastic, he has to appear even more indifferent.The hat of the village party secretary is no longer, but the dignity of the former party secretary cannot be lost.

After arriving at the tea garden, Yu Wenzhao brought the tea to his wife Hu Zefen who had been here for a long time. The more difficult season of weeding and pruning had been completed. These days they were busy applying summer tea fertilizer and removing insects.

Tea gardens pay attention to facing the sun and sheltering from the wind. Hu Zefen, who brought her granddaughter Yu Ren to experience life, explained summer pests to her children. Yu Ren sat under a tea tree and stuck out his tongue, "Grandma, you and grandpa don't have to worry about life. Wouldn't it be better to rent out the tea mountain?" ?”

"Your grandpa can't be idle. After retiring from the village affairs, he wants to introduce new tea trees from Zhejiang and try that white tea." Hu Zefen carefully inspected a tea tree wearing a straw hat.

"It's not easy to rent if you want to rent it. Outsiders grow tea as long as the output is acceptable, and they use a lot of fertilizers and pesticides." Yu Wenzhao also came to work, "That would be too harmful to the soil."

Yu Ren sitting in the sun is not a solution, although she was anxious to continue calling Uosheng, she still got up and patted her buttocks to help serve fertilizer, "My father said that the tea in our Songyang County is actually more congenital than tea. Shuodong tea is good, and the new teas that go on the market in April every year have a stronger aroma, but they just can’t sell Shuodong tea.”

"Of course it won't sell." Yu Wenzhao also likes to talk about this with his granddaughter, "Shuodong tea benefited from the fact that there were many champions in that place in the past, and the brand 'Zhuangyuan tea' was created in the past [-] years, and the market has already opened up. No matter how well our Songyang tea grows, there is no unified brand, each family has different flavors, and the prices are also very chaotic.” For example, the price of their new tea this year is [-] yuan per catty, and the opposite door is dumb Neighbor Yu Kaiming's family was eager to get money for his son's medical treatment, so they only sold it for [-] a catty, which caused the tea gardeners in the village to raise prices.

"Then Songyang County should do something, why not build a brand? There is champion tea in the next county, and we in Songyang can produce General Tea, or..." Yu Ren thought for a while, "No, we will fight for the name. It's not interesting, let's focus on this environmentally friendly tea without fertilizers." In fact, she didn't understand it either, but she heard the teacher explain this concept in class.

Yu Wenzhao laughed loudly, "That's right, Caicai, she also understands brand marketing." In fact, Yu Wenzhao had this idea a few years ago, and he always wanted to launch Yuzhuang's tea brand during his tenure. The villagers who run the tea garden said in a few words, "They all have the same brand. My family pays [-]% of the profit, and his family pays [-]% of the profit. Can we still sell at the same price?"

"The brand has to grow and expand, right? How about dividends in the future?"

"Unify the company's management and quality control? Who will manage it? If Yu Tiankai's bastard comes in, I will definitely not do it!"

"If your village cadres come in to mix with me, I won't do it!"

"Let the money from outsiders come in, how much of the shares does he own? If he wants to control it, he can't do it. This is our tea garden in Yuzhuang. It has been famous for hundreds of years, so let him take it with just a little money? He has a good idea."

The stench came out before the pot was opened. Hu Zefen persuaded his wife, "Didn't you never see the silk factory like that in the early years? Anyway, you haven't done it for a few years. Don't make a mess and then back away." Nice to meet people."

So now Yu Wenzhao just wants to take care of his own land and grow his own tea well. As for the sales, he doesn't worry about it.Except for a few years in the army, he never left Yuzhuang. His feelings for the land are beyond his daughter and granddaughter's understanding.

Seeing that Yu Ren was still a little unhappy, Yu Wenzhao and Hu Zefen looked at each other and smiled, half coaxing and half persuading their granddaughter, "After finishing the work in the tea garden today, grandpa will take you fishing?"

Yu Ren said that she wanted to go home and read a book, but she still wanted to make a phone call.

"Your phone number has been dialed a few times but I can't get through. Could it be your little boyfriend?" Yu Wenzhao looked at his granddaughter, worried that what happened to Yu Xiaomin would happen again to his child.

"Grandpa——" Yu Ren took off his hat and fanned himself, "You think I'm my mother?" Besides, how convenient is it for her mother and father to go to the same high school and fall in love?And she hasn't had a phone call with Uosheng in the past few months.

What the hell is Uzumaki up to?Is it possible that the Provincial Opera School will also make up lessons in July?For the first time, Yu Ren felt an uncontrollable sense of emptiness towards Maosheng.Maosheng is a flexible and erratic figure under the sun. Yu Ren went from being very familiar with her to being unfamiliar with her in less than four months.

Uno was indeed busy.Wang Li's award-winning new play is now on tour in five cities across the province. She volunteered to learn from her master, who also has the same intention.So Uno hung up a temporary work permit to help the master organize her outfit, learn to make up, hide behind the big screen to watch her sing, and watch the audience below and imagine herself playing the leading role.At the same time, the mobile phone must be muted or turned off.

Backstage, the fairy aunt Chen Fengxiang, who stretched her legs and ate melon seeds, stared at Maosheng up and down several times with big eyes, and miraculously couldn't eat lipstick.She whispered to Wang Li beside her, "Like you."

After changing her costume, Wang Li drew her thick eyebrows in the mirror, and laughed triumphantly when she heard the words. The pink eye shadow brought out the beauty of her eyebrows. "How many plays have you studied?"

Uosheng just started counting, ""The Romance of the West Chamber"..."

Feng Xiang's melon seed shells flew out of control immediately, "What else?"

"She can basically sing traditional repertoires. You don't know that I taught this child to beat children?" Wang Li saw that there was still some time before leaving the stage, so she gave Maosheng 50 yuan, "Go and buy some for your Aunt Fengxiang." Grilled chicken wings, not the spicy one."

Uosheng breathed a sigh of relief when he walked out of the backstage. She knew almost all the famous actors of the Baizhou Yue Opera Troupe. She was not afraid of anyone, but Chen Fengxiang.The fairy aunts on stage can be soft and boneless, delicate and cute, and even glamorous.But after stepping off the stage, she threw herself on a chair and slumped, opening her mouth in spicy Shuodong dialect, her big eyes seemed to see through people.She intuitively felt that Aunt Fengxiang had a bad impression of her mother Zhao Lan. When Wang Li took her into the stage for the first time, everyone nodded politely. Only Aunt Fairy didn't bother to pay attention to her, and it took a long time to say a choking sentence, "Oh, the children are thrown to you. gone?"

Although it was whispered to Wang Li, Uosheng heard it.The master bowed to her and asked her to take care of the child. The fairy threw the melon seed shell in her face in a mischievous manner, and Wang Li took off the shell in a good-tempered manner to touch up the makeup.

Their Baizhou Yue Opera Troupe went to the Baizhou Opera School very interestingly. Hua Dan had a bad temper one by one, and the singer was really not angry. Miao Yuan, Maosheng’s opera school partner, liked to scold her for being unprofessional and unprogressive, just relying on her good looks Fool people.

Uno turned on his mobile phone while waiting for the chicken wings at KFC, and several fixed-line numbers in Baizhou popped up quickly, one of which appeared four times.Her heart skipped a beat, and she called back without hesitation.

Yu Ren, who stayed at home with his grandparents and watched the mother-in-law drama and ate watermelon, jumped up when the phone rang.The little curly hair on the other end smiled at the canteen, "Why, you thought it was your girlfriend looking for you?"

Yu Ren glanced at his grandparents. The old couple's backs were straight and their eyes were all slanted in one direction. She sighed, "Nonsense. Why are you calling me at night? Are you not busy in the store?"

"During the two-week vacation of No. 3 Middle School during the summer vacation, my mother came home." Huai Fengnian didn't want to go back and listen to his parents start a money war. He would rather lie on a simple bed made of stools in the store, blow a table fan, read a book and eat instant noodles. "I want to ask you when you will return to Baizhou. I just don't have to do anything these few days. Besides reading, I want to go to McDonald's to review maths together. Let's go to McDonald's, where there is air conditioning." She has great enthusiasm for studying, and knows that as long as she gets an extra [-] points in the math test, she will be able to enter the TOP[-] in Beijing.

"I'm going to stay in the country for two weeks. Let's do self-study together after school makes up classes and when we don't have classes at night." When Yu Ren said, the waists of grandparents slumped again, and their eyes returned to the TV at the same time.

Uo, who was waiting for a busy phone call, got the chicken wings. Seeing that there were still 15 minutes left, she wanted to try again.This time it was connected, and it was Yu Ren who answered the phone, "Hey Huai Fengnian, why are you calling again? Don't you have enough pocket money?"

"It's...it's me." Maosheng's voice made Yu Ren's nose sore immediately, she turned around and covered the receiver tightly, "Yeah." This voice was obviously softer than the phone call just now, and Hu Zefen and Yu Wenzhao couldn't help their waists Frightened, the old couple looked at their granddaughter suspiciously and worriedly.

Yu Ren couldn't say anything, so he calmed down quickly, "I went back to Yuzhuang on vacation, and accompanied my grandparents to work in the tea garden every day."

Hearing Yu Ren's voice, Uosheng's eyes were wet, and he wanted to blurt out countless thoughts and grievances, but Uosheng knew that it was not appropriate now, "When will I go back to Baizhou? I... I will be on tour with my master, and I will be there this Saturday." Go back to the provincial capital."

It was another meeting that passed by like a meteor, and it was also a holiday that was destined not to meet right away.Yu Ren hesitated on the phone, "Is your mother's legs better?"

"It's much better, I'm getting used to the prosthesis slowly." Uosu sighed silently, "Are you okay? Is your mother okay?"

"It's all good." Yu Ren quickly replied to her. This was not what she wanted to hear, but she and Uosheng were on the phone like they were the next day, and they didn't get to the point for a long time.

What is the "idea" that two people have in common?The future is still too early, Yu Ren still has two years to spend in high school, and Uo doesn't know which theater company he will join.It was too late in the past, they wasted several months of contact, they couldn't keep up with the tacit resonance in Yucai junior high school, and they were reluctant to part when they couldn't get sweet.Now it's too cold, Uosu is short on time, and Yu Ren is inconvenient, so he circled around his relatives and friends, Uosheng said, "I will come to Baizhou to find you after the tour is over, can we set a time on Q?"

Yu Ren said yes, and couldn't help complaining, "But you haven't left me a lot of messages on Q, have you?"

Uno said sorry.Her world is expanding rapidly, and when the boundary extends to the distance, Yu Ren is like a constant mark on the globe.If Usheng has a Pacific Ocean now, Yu Ren is a coral reef, colorfully hidden under the water surface, and Usheng can only be seen when he dives deep and quiet.Maosheng also remembered Yu Xiaomin's words, and only persuaded Yu Ren, "You work hard, you will definitely be admitted to Fudan University."

"What about you?" Yu Ren asked.

"I...I will work hard." Uo was not confident about whether he would be able to go to Shanghai to perform in an opera after graduation. When he saw the child in front of the world, he jumped six feet high.Wang Li said that there are only two or three people in the entire Baizhou Yue Opera Troupe who can enter Shangyue.The gap is too big, so you have to rush hard.

Yu Ren didn't hear the sonorous promise again, "I'll go to Shanghai to sing an opera, and we'll eat all over Shanghai Beach." The two of them are too close, so close that a rare communication line can confuse each other.It's too far away, so far away that the solemn promises that have only been a few months are light.

Uosheng said that she was going backstage, but she still waited for Yu Ren to hang up.Yu Ren went back to the yard and continued to eat watermelon. Frogs were croaking and little fireflies were flying not far away. She squatted beside the fish pond and bit into it. The watermelon was sour and tears were salty.

On the opposite side of Yu Kaiming's house came the sound of a child crying, and then Yu Jin yelled, "What can I do if he tore up my homework?" Immediately, chickens and dogs jumped and jumped to break the tranquility of the summer night.

Yu Ren looked up at the stars again, this one disappeared today, and another one will appear again tomorrow.Her eyes became sore again, and grandma Hu Zefen fanned her from behind.Yu Ren turned around and suddenly found that grandma was getting older.Grandma's hair was still black when she was in elementary school, but now it is half white.She is nearly [-] years old, takes care of the family every day, and also goes to the tea mountain with her grandfather.

Yu Ren took over the fan to help his grandma. Hu Zefen said, "Yu Jin from Kaiming's family studies very well. He is always the first in the class, and he also helps his parents to take care of his younger brother."

Yu Ren is already a little numb to such stories, but Yu Juan's figure seems to be still in front of him.There are three children, but she can't tell her family, otherwise she will be accused of meddling.

"It's like this in this life. People around you come and go." Hu Zefen wiped the watermelon juice from the corner of Yu Ren's mouth, "It's good that we are not ashamed of ourselves. If I were Muzhi, I would be so guilty that I couldn't sleep." Grandma She thought she was hurting Yu Juan and San'er.

Yu Ren opened his mouth, his heart was clogged with countless kinds of messy threads, and finally turned into two sentences: This feeling can be regarded as a memory, but it was already at a loss at that time.

The author has something to say:
