Start being a Shennong today

Tao Shengwen also graduated from junior high school at the time. Later, because his family was too poor and his grades fell a little, he did not continue to go to school.But because he is somewhat educated, he has read a lot of books on peach tree planting over the years.

The peaches in their family are local mountain peaches. Although the output is not particularly high, the taste is very good due to the careful care of the couple, and the sales in their local area are not bad. When the peaches are most ripe in August and September, there are also merchants from other places. to buy.

It is already mid-October, and there are only a few late-ripening peach trees with fruits left, and these couples can finish their work alone.

The two sent the peaches they picked to Yuanshan Town. Someone in the village opened a farmer's supermarket in Yuanshan Town. Most of the vegetables in it were harvested in nearby small villages. Tao Shengwen's family sent most of the peaches here. Sell.

The owner of this farmer's supermarket is Tao Jiaxing, and he is also related to Tao Shengwen. He asked Tao Shengwen to call him big brother.It is thought that the relationship between the two companies is now very good after years of business dealings.

From Taoyuan Village to Yuanshan Town, it takes less than 10 minutes to ride an electric bicycle if you are in a hurry, and more than half an hour to ride a bicycle if you are not in a hurry. Tao Shengwen and his wife are driving electric tricycles, and they dare not go too fast for fear of getting lost. Bad peaches, it took 10 minutes to arrive at the supermarket.

Helping to unload the peaches, Tao Shengwei looked at the happy faces of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and asked, "Hey, what good news happened to my elder brother and sister-in-law, she looked happy."

"Hey, it's just that Ranran finished her work at school and called this morning to say she would go home and have a look."

"The top student is coming back. I heard that he was helping the teacher at school during the summer vacation and has not come back. My sister-in-law will cook a few more delicious dishes to reward him today. Children don't eat well at school."

"Let's go shopping for groceries, please be busy." Tao Shengwen greeted and left.

Tao Shengwen and his wife Tian Yuxia are both farmers. Tao Shengwen graduated from junior high school, while Tian Yuxia graduated from elementary school.When they got married, they decided with their wives that they would have a son and a daughter in the future. The boy was named Tao Ran, and the girl was named Tao Le.

This name is the result of Tao Shengwen’s reading for a long time. It originated from Yang Jiong’s writing in the Tang Dynasty: “Tao Tao Ran enjoys it. They don’t want their children to achieve much, they just want him to live happily.

Later, in response to the country's call for only children, the couple only had one child, Tao Ran.

Tao Ran is also a person who does not make people worry. He has been smart since he was a child, and he has always been in the top of the school in his studies, and he was admitted to the university he wanted smoothly.In college, he won scholarships every year, and even found a part-time job. In the four years of college, he didn't ask for any money from his family, and no one in the village envied him.

Originally, the level of teaching in the village was not high, and the elementary school in Yuanshan Town did not accept many village children, so it was a big deal for the children in the village to be able to pass the general exam. Most of them went to work after graduating from junior high school or Straight to technical school.

Tao Ran, who was admitted to Z University, was completely a child of someone else's family in the village, and everyone said that the Tao family's ancestral grave was smoking.

After Tao Ran was admitted to university, he didn't spend much of the family's money, and was praised by the villagers. Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia worked harder, thinking about earning more money so that they wouldn't hold back their son when they got old.

Every year when Tao Ran comes back, they are the happiest. Tian Yuxia will make a bunch of delicious food for her son to make up for.

Speaking of Tian Yuxia, one has to praise her craftsmanship.Tian Yuxia just loves to cook.She also has a good handicraft. She made a banquet after she got married. Since then, who doesn't envy Tao Shengwen's good food.

Tao Ran didn't go home during the summer vacation, and stayed at school all the time.I only know that the child is excellent in all aspects, and was exceptionally selected by the school teacher into the research group.

Parents know it's good for kids, but miss it anyway.Counting now, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year.I'm finally coming back today, so I'll cook a big meal to reward my son.

Taoshan Village is not big, not far from Yuanshan Town.There is no vegetable market in the village, and each family has a vegetable field.If you don't grow any at home, you can go to another place to change. Generally, the vegetables that are grown at home will be received by Tao Jiaxing and sold in supermarkets.

The couple bought the vegetables they needed at the farmer's market, and then rode back to Taoyuan Village.

Tao Shengwen chopped up fresh beef thigh bones and simmered them over high heat until the bones were separated from the flesh.At noon, eat the meat first, wash the remaining bones, and cook them slowly over a low heat in a coal stove until the bone soup turns milky white and tastes extremely delicious.After drinking two bowls of soup, cook two handfuls of lasagna in it, and you have dinner.

Tian Yuxia was also busy in the kitchen. First, she simmered the stewed chicken with chestnuts. This chicken was a local chicken raised by Tao Ran's third aunt next door. Simmer for 10 minutes on a cast iron skillet.

First smell the aroma of chicken, then gradually add the sweet aroma of chestnut, the whole kitchen is filled with aroma, this stewed chicken with chestnut is Tian Yuxia's specialty dish.

Prepare another dish of tofu mixed with shallots, which is fragrant, soft and smooth, tender and refreshing.

After working in the kitchen all morning, the couple finally stopped to take a breath.

On the train from Z City to Yuanshan Town, Tao Ran was full of anticipation and a little apprehensive.He gave up the flat road leading to success in the eyes of others, and chose a small road covered by weeds.Tao Ran looked at the red mole on his right hand, and his heart settled down again.No matter what the road ahead is, he has the confidence to blaze a trail.

And even if he reproduced the research results of his previous life in this life, it would be enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

Tao Ran got off the train at Yuanshan Town. Yuanshan Town was said to be a town, but it had a relatively large area, and it happened to be located between the north-south traffic, and its economy was relatively developed.The roads in the town extend in all directions, and there are trains and buses, so the traffic is very convenient.

Tao Ran transferred to the bus, which stopped and went, and arrived at the entrance of Taoyuan Village after 10 minutes.Taoyuan Village is located in the east of Yuanshan Town, backed by green hills. The highest peak is 1000 meters above sea level, and peach trees are the most abundant on the mountain.

These peach trees are the main source of income for the whole village, but except for Tao Shengwen's peach trees which are of good quality and large area, the peach trees planted by the rest of the villagers are not as delicious as Tao Shengwen's family, so the natural income is not so high.

Nowadays, young people in the village are unwilling to plant peach trees. They feel tired. Most of them go out to work and settle down in other places when they earn money. There are fewer and fewer people in Taoyuan Village.

Most of the villagers in Taoyuan Village have the surname Tao, and basically they all have twisted relatives.Tao Ran got off the car at the entrance of the village, and the villagers were busy greeting Tao Ran when he came back.

"Hey! Tao Ran is back, is your school on holiday?"

"You haven't come back since summer vacation, your parents are looking forward to you every day."

"No wonder I saw your parents go to the third aunt's to buy chickens today. They probably want to cook a big meal for you."

Tao Ran has good academic performance and is a sensible person. Everyone in the village knows him and is willing to say hello to him.

"I'm done with school affairs, so I'll come back to see my parents when I have time." Tao Ran answered the villagers with a smile all the way.

Tao Ran's house is in the innermost part of Taoyuan Village, at the foot of the green hill, and Tao Ran needs to go through the whole village to get home.

When Tao Ran walked to the door of the house, the door was open and no one was seen.Walking into the house, the husband and wife were both sitting in the house.

"I'm back!" Tian Yuxia saw her son first, and hurriedly stood up and pulled her son over. Looking up and down, she felt that her son was thinner than before.Tian Yuxia pulled her son distressedly: "Why did you lose weight again? The school food is not enough. I will make up for you when you are at home these two days."

"It's because I lost weight. If you are too tired, you can rest at home for a few more days." Tao Yuanwen put down the teacup in his hand.He was also happy that his son was back. Hearing what his wife said, he found that his son looked a little thin, and couldn't help but feel distressed.

Tao Ran didn't want his parents to worry so much. He put down his bag and explained to his parents: "Hey, it's not that I was too busy the past two days. I have a good rest for two days, and the meat will grow. Don't talk about this, Mom, you The craftsmanship is getting better and better, and I am hungry when I smell this fragrance."

Tao Ran smelled the aroma and ran to the kitchen, opened the pot and saw that it was a damn good dish.

"Okay, hurry up and serve the dishes. I'm ready to eat, and I'll wait for you when you come back." Tao Ran quickly brought the dishes to the table.

After eating, Tao Ran helped to clear the table.The three of them were sitting in the yard with a cup of tea in their hands, warmed by the afternoon sun.

Tao Ran took out a gift for her parents from her bag. It was a foot warmer for her mother. Tian Yuxia was in poor health and was afraid of the cold. Seeing that winter was coming, Tao Ran carefully selected a safe and regular one for her mother.What I brought to my father was a pack of Longjing tea, Tao Shengwen's favorite tea.

The couple were very happy, and Tao Shengwen directly poured out the tea in the cup and replaced it with the new tea brought by his son.

At this time, Tao Ran said unhurriedly: "Mom and Dad, I brought back two bags of seeds of a new variety of cabbage from school this time. I heard that this variety tastes very good. I am going to grow some at home and give you a taste." .”

He is not yet ready to say that he is going home to farm, and he feels that his parents will definitely not agree.

The husband and wife didn't have any doubts. It's not a big deal. The son can grow it if he wants to.Tao Shengwen took a sip of tea: "Okay, where do you want to grow? Our vegetable garden has just been planted with Chinese cabbage, and there is not much space left."

"Isn't there an old house where my grandfather lived on Taoshan? I remember there was a large open field over there. The land was fertile and big enough for me to plant."

Taoshan refers to the mountain where his family planted peach trees. Tao Shengwen planted peach trees there. The only open space is the house that Tao Ran’s grandfather built on the mountain. There is a lot of open space around the house. There is a dry stream.

In Tao Ran's memory, his grandfather had always lived on the mountain. Even after their family built a house at the foot of the mountain, he was unwilling to live down the mountain.

Grandpa also opened a small vegetable field in front of the house, but the large open space behind the house has been vacant.Later, when Tao Ran was in his sophomore year, his grandfather passed away, and the small house on the mountain remained empty.
