Chapter 608 Sixty Things and Fine Factory Flowers (33)
As a result, the friendly neighbor asked Xu's mother: "What's going on with your girl Yin recently? I haven't seen her come home for a long time. Did something happen? No matter how busy the farm is, you won't stop giving it."
rest."
"What can happen to her!" A stiff smile appeared on Xu's mother's lips, "I just thought it was too troublesome to reverse the car back and forth, so I took a day off and spent half the day on the road, so I decided to wait for the National Day before returning."
Regardless of whether the neighbors believe it or not, Xu’s mother always says so.
But after returning home, she kept complaining while cooking: "It's true that the fourth child, even if we are dating a partner, she should bring it home to her father and I to check it out. We just got along by ourselves, and we have a rest day."
I won't go home either, so what's the benefit of having a daughter? Turn your elbows outward..."
As soon as Xu Fang entered the door, she heard her mother scolding the fourth child. She automatically ignored the phrase "turn your elbows outward" that made her ears calloused, and added more insults:
"Mom, even if the fourth child's marriage is decided by her, she still has to go through the proper etiquette and procedures. At worst, everything brought from the groom's family will be given to the fourth child. Otherwise, how will the neighbors view it?
Our home?”
Xu Fang's words touched Xu's mother's heart.
"That's right! Even if she finds the partner by herself and decides the betrothal gift by herself, the process has to go through! This damn girl! After leaving a hundred yuan, she feels that the partner is her own business and has nothing to do with the family... Next
She will have to come back when your second brother gets married, and then talk to her properly..."
The Xu family has been very busy recently with Xu Yao's marriage. Even Xu Mei, who is getting married, is called back to her parents' house by Xu's mother every few days to help.
Dual-income workers can apply for a wedding room with the factory. No, after getting the key to the wedding room, Xu's mother immediately went to look at it, thinking that after cleaning it, the finished furniture could be shipped directly. Double Happiness is also
Can be posted.
When I saw the result when I arrived, I almost fainted.
Naturally, the houses for workers in the factory cannot be new, but even if they are old houses where several groups of people live, they shouldn't be so dirty.
Looking at the blackened walls, the broken glass, and the mottled and faded window frames and doors, Mother Xu's heart dropped.
"Boss, how can this house be used as a wedding room? I can't bear to put new furniture here."
Xu Mei had no choice but to be roped in as a coolie.
The best way to give the house a new look is, of course, to shovel off the lime on the surface and repaint it with putty. But the wedding is at this critical moment, and there is no place to apply putty.
The couple went to the scrap station to find some relatively neat newspapers and came back. They tried their best to choose the ones that were not so yellow in color. They endured the physical pain and pounded some glutinous rice into paste, one by one, and stuck it to the dirty wall.
Then I spent some money and asked someone to buy a piece of glass and repair the window.
There is nothing we can do about the stained and faded window frames and doors. Where can I get some paint for a while?
Xu Mei has been working for her parents every day recently, and even spent a few cents to buy old newspapers. She feels unhappy:
"Mom, why don't you call the third child here? There is also the fourth child. Although the work is far away from home, you can always come back during the day off, right? The second child is getting married, and they are younger sisters. Shouldn't they all contribute?"
Xu's mother got angry when she mentioned the two daughters: "The third child doesn't know what he's been busy with lately. He's been very late coming home. It would be nice if he could help the family cook a meal. The fourth child even talked about someone and didn't know what to bring home.
Your dad and I will take a look... I can't control this damn girl anymore. She used to be a bit talkative and offended people at every turn, but now people are so wild that they don't even know how to go home when they go out..."
Xu Mei had long wanted to ask: "Mom, is the fourth child's partner really the driver of the main factory? I heard that the conditions for those who can enter the transportation department of the main factory are not generally good, and the bride price..."
When Xu's mother mentioned this, she wanted to sigh again: "Weren't you also present when the fourth child said that that day? She borrowed a hundred yuan for the family. This hundred yuan will be regarded as her betrothal gift in the future. You and I will marry her
Dad can't even ask."
"At that time, she only said that it was up to her to decide who she would marry, and we couldn't interfere with how much gift the man would give, but she didn't say she wouldn't give it!"
Hearing what her eldest daughter said, Xu's mother's eyes lit up and she slapped her thigh: "That's right! I didn't say I wouldn't give it! You have to give it as much as you can!"
Xu Yin didn't know that even if she didn't go home, her family would want to take advantage of her.
I didn’t expect that Xu Yao’s big day was coming soon.
She is busy!
After the farm manager asked the main factory for an advance payment, he immediately took the letter of introduction, the official seal... and her, and went to the nursery farm.
The reason why Director Qi brought Xu Yin with him was because it was Xu Yin who suggested planting fruit trees. In addition, she talked endlessly about fruit trees and seemed to be quite knowledgeable, so he picked her up without saying a word and thought about it.
She might be useful for picking out saplings later.
Unexpectedly, I thought of a nursery farm. Not to mention picking, the money I brought was useless - there were no seedlings.
To be precise, all the best-selling fruit saplings that the farm director had planned for before departure were all booked, leaving only the walnut saplings that no one wanted.
When he heard about the walnut saplings, Field Director Qi also felt disgusted.
"Oh, Lao Qi, I'm really sorry, you're a step late."
The director of the nursery farm apologized and shook hands with director Qi:
"The kinds of fruit saplings you want are really not available this year, and we have to wait until next spring at the earliest. The quantity you want is so large, I'm afraid we can't deliver it all at once... How about you take a look at the walnut saplings? This batch
The walnut saplings are really good. Our farm cooperated with the fruit farm in Lucheng and grafted thin-barked walnut trees. They have been planted in our farm for two years. The saplings are already two meters high. Maybe they will be ready next year.
bear fruit…”
Director Qi didn't believe it: "Old Hu, please stop fooling me. The walnut tree will bear fruit in less than ten years? Go out and ask, who will believe it?"
What's more, even if it is transplanted like an ordinary fruit tree for two years, it will bear fruit in three years. Who would make a special trip to buy walnuts these days? Aren't they all buying apples, oranges, and pears?
But Xu Yin felt something in her heart when she heard: Grafted paper-bark walnut saplings? Maybe it really doesn't take more than ten years, not to mention that it has been cultivated in the nursery for two years. Buy it back, chase it with biogas residue fertilizer, and water it with water.
The dewed water should be kept the same as an ordinary fruit tree, so it will bear fruit next year.
And walnuts should be a favorite food for pigs.
When she was the world champion, she ate an extremely delicious walnut-scented pig. The pigs were raised in the walnut forest. They returned to the pig pen at night and allowed them to wander and jog in the forest during the day.
There are walnuts on the trees, black truffles under the trees, alfalfa, wild berries and edible fungi that pigs love to eat.
Every year during the walnut ripening period, walnuts often fall down, and pigs eat them.
When the black truffles are ripe, these little fragrant pigs twist their strong little buttocks and start scooping up the black truffles in the ground.
Without the owner paying attention, the "black diamonds on the dining table" were eaten by them one by one.
The pigs raised by this method are still young in one year and are ready for slaughter in two or three years.
Although it is long, it is rich in nutrients, and the meat is fragrant, moist and chewy...
