The Sweetness of the Seventies

It’s all because he has no foresight!

"Hey, it's all my fault for not paying attention. If I paid more attention, maybe I could get more seedlings last year." Qi Dazhu said regretfully, "Let's do this, brother He, we will open up wasteland and cultivate seedlings at the same time, and try to get the remaining few seedlings." Get out all the seedlings on the mountain."

"Aren't you afraid that there will be too many peaches and you won't be able to sell them?" He Jingyu asked with a smile.

"Don't be afraid, our peaches are so good, and we are still in Taoyuan County. There are many peaches, so we don't have to worry about selling them." Village Chief Qi said, "If they are really bad and cannot be sold, we can eat them ourselves, or we can secretly take them out. Go and exchange with others. Anyway, this is grown in the barren mountains. It does not occupy farmland, and it is what we in Qijia Village earn."

"That's right." He Jingyu said, "Okay, let's build a few more greenhouses in the Taoyuan this year and try to get more seedlings. After all, the seedlings bear fruit in three years. If you do it one year earlier, the fruit will grow earlier. "

Back in the village, the people in Qijia Village were very happy when they heard that the food was sold at a price similar to that of meat. This meant that they could get a lot of money and food during the Chinese New Year.

Qi Shuliang had already chosen a date and went to tell Niu Niupeng in person.

That day, men from Qijia Village, old and young, came over to help.

The leaders of Huai City came again, with a better attitude than last time, and brought many wreaths.

That batch of peaches had been shipped directly to Yanjing after Village Chief Qi had delivered them to the county town.

Village Chief Ma's work has been praised by provincial leaders, and even his old boss revealed that he may take a step further next year.

This is all the credit of Qijia Village and He Jingyu.

When he came this time, Village Chief Ma also brought He Jingyu a second-class merit certificate and a reward of 500 yuan, as well as 500 kilograms of food stamps, and some messy industrial coupons.

Qi Shuliang took his son Qi Zhenghan and the men close to him to go up the mountain to worship their ancestors.

After three bows and nine kowtows, Qi Shuliang lay on his father's grave crying and kept saying, "My son is unfilial, my son is unfilial, I failed to provide for my father..."

Originally, women were not allowed to worship ancestors, but now that we are in a new society, there are not as many things to pay attention to as before, so Anna took her children to kowtow to her father-in-law.

He Jingyu and Wang Shuping followed closely, taking He Tiantian to kowtow.

They accepted Grandma Qi San as their foster mother. This old man was their foster father, and it was appropriate to kowtow.

Then comes the leadership worship, but there is no need to kowtow, just bow.

Almost all the men in the village came to kowtow in worship.

After the man left, Qi Shuliang found the cut paper money and took Qi Dazhu, Qi Shuming and a few other close friends with him, and began to burn the paper money for his old father, hoping that the old father would have money to spend underground, and he could spend it as he pleased.

In the evening, the brothers came home and talked about the past.

After completing the ancestor worship, Qi Shuliang felt depressed for a while. He took time every day to sit on his father's grave and talk to his father about what happened over the years. Sometimes I get some food from home, bring a bottle of wine and two glasses, drink one glass, and pour one glass on my father’s grave.

In this way, several days passed before Qi Shuliang slowly recovered.

Now that his father is gone, he wants to take care of the family and support his mother, wife and children.

Qi Zhenghan and Qi Zhengmin, two brothers and sisters, have followed He Tiantian all over the mountains and fields for the past two days, picking wild fruits and mushrooms, digging traps, and catching prey. Live a colorful life every day.

Qi Zhengmin was a little too happy to miss Shu.

At this time, Qi Zhengmin was holding a fish stuck on a branch and roasting it on the fire.

This is a freshly caught fish, very fresh.

He Tiantian brought some ingredients with her, and after cleaning the fish, she started roasting it on the fire.

"Sister Tiantian, the mountains are so fun." Qi Zhengmin said, "I don't want to go back. Brother, you and your parents can go back after a while. I'll stay here."

Qi Zhenghan smiled and said, "Aren't you going to study anymore?"

"It's not like Sister Tiantian isn't studying either." Qi Zhengmin said, "Anyway, I think it's pretty good here. Although it's very simple, it's very interesting. You can go up the mountain every day, pick fruits, catch fish, and catch rabbits, which is better than what I did in school. Learning to dance is much better.”

"Haha, mom won't agree to it anyway." Qi Zhenghan shrugged, not taking it seriously.

He Tiantian smiled and said: "Zhengmin, you just came here and you think it's interesting here. But after a long time, you don't like it here. Look at the little girl over there. She has to go up the mountain to pick fruits and dry goods every day to support her family. Even if you don’t have to work, you will feel bored if you do it every day.”

"I don't care, I like it very much now anyway." Qi Zhengmin said, "By the way, sister Tiantian, shall we go see if there is any prey in the trap next?"

"Yes." He Tiantian said, "If yes, we will have extra food tonight."

I'm lucky today. There are two rabbits in the trap. I can stew rabbit meat for dinner at night.

Qi Zhenghan also likes this kind of activity. Every time he goes into the trap with a rope tied around his waist and takes out the prey.

Qi Zhengmin was jumping in front, He Tiantian, and Qi Zhenghan walked behind.

"Do you want to go back?" He Tiantian asked, Qi Zhenghan was past that playful age.

Qi Zhenghan looked around, thought for a while, and said: "The scenery here is very beautiful, but it is okay to travel occasionally, but not for long-term stay. I still like life in New York."

This Qi Zhenghan is very straightforward!

He Tiantian can understand that if she hadn't spent many years here in her previous life, she wouldn't be used to it.

"Yes, you belong to a big city like New York." He Tiantian said, "The mountains and rivers here, leave them to those of us who are adapted to it." Qi Zhenghan frowned when he heard this. He had told He Tiantian before that he hoped she would stay in New York, but He Tiantian refused. Later, He Tiantian recognized her grandmother Bai Qiongyu. As the only heir of Bai Qiongyu, He Tiantian should follow her grandmother. After all, Bai Qiongyu has many industries that need to be inherited and managed. "Aren't you going back?" Qi Zhenghan asked, "Your grandmother is in New York, why are you still here?" Qi Zhenghan didn't want to hear the answer he guessed in his heart. He Tiantian smiled and said, "Things are not as simple as you think, just like you like to choose New York, and I like China." After He Tiantian finished speaking, she went after Qi Zhengmin. Qi Zhenghan grabbed He Tiantian's hand and said, "Although I know you have a lover, it is immoral to say these words to you, but I still want to say, Tiantian, don't you think we are a perfect match in terms of age, appearance and family background?"

"Ah?" He Tiantian was surprised, then smiled and said, "We have never been a perfect match. I treat you as my brother, that's all. You are a gentleman and will know how to deal with yourself in the future. Can you let go of my hand now?"
