Chapter 506 To get rich, have fewer children and more trees
Fang Ming didn't notice Qin Xue's expression. Even if he did, he couldn't explain it. He couldn't tell Qin Xue that your brother was changing the Feng Shui of this reservoir.
As an excellent successor of communism, Qin Xue probably really thought that his head was bitten by a poisonous snake. If there is anyone who believes in science the most these days, it is undoubtedly the students.
After spending several hours filling all twenty holes with soil, Fang Ming stretched. The quality of this body was still not comparable to his own, and he was already very tired.
"Xiaoxue, let's go home."
Fang Ming waved to Qin Xue, and the brother and sister dismantled the mechanical equipment and carried it down the mountain. Qin Xue went home to cook, while Fang Ming returned the machinery to his boss.
"Boss, this is the rent."
After paying the rent, Fang Ming touched his pocket. He had almost spent the 20,000 yuan so far, and he only had a few thousand yuan left.
After leaving the factory, Fang Ming did not go back immediately, but walked towards a shop selling tricycles nearby.
Fang Ming first walked to the electric tricycle, looked at the price, then touched his pocket, walked away silently, and came to the pedal tricycle.
"Boss, how much does this car cost?"
"That's one thousand and three over there, eight hundred over here, and five hundred over there."
There are three types of pedal tricycles, the largest one is Qian San, and the smaller one is eight hundred. Although the five hundred tricycle over there is also new, Fang Ming knows very well that it should be an old one refurbished.
But for Fang Ming, it doesn't matter if it's old or not, it's just for temporary use anyway.
For five hundred yuan, he bought a second-hand refurbished tricycle. Fang Ming rode the bike towards the village. It was six or seven kilometers from the town to the village. Fang Ming was not in a hurry and enjoyed the scenery along the way.
To be honest, rural areas across the country are the same. There is not much difference between the mountain villages here and Miaohe Village. There are many abandoned fields covered with weeds on both sides of the road. In this era when all rural laborers go to cities to work, those who stay in the villages are all old people.
, and the current food prices are low, many people no longer grow rice, but only use it to grow vegetables.
There are many three- and four-story self-built homestead houses on both sides of the road. These houses occupy a large area and have neatly laid ceramic tiles. However, there are spiders crawling on the doors.
The more well-built houses, the more so, because the owners of these houses all make money in other places, and then return to their hometowns to build houses. After building the houses, they do not live in them and continue to work outside.
The countryside is different from the city. In a village, almost every household is familiar with it, and everyone often visits. To evaluate whether a person is promising and whether he has made money outside, one must look at two things: a house and a car.
Therefore, the house must be built big. This is what many rural workers think about. There are obviously a family of four, but there are more than a dozen rooms in a house, and even four generations of children and grandchildren can live in it.
These houses are only popular during holidays, and are not much different from haunted houses on weekdays.
There is no way, rural people cannot afford to buy a house in the city, and the idea of protecting the house from old age is common to everyone, so even if you don't have much money, you have to build one floor first, and then go out to work, and continue to build after making money, and then
After making money, continue to decorate.
And these people can only live in this house for twenty or thirty years in their lifetime. They will only return home when they grow old and can no longer work in the city.
This is a common situation in rural China.
Of course, none of this has much to do with Fang Ming. At most, he just laments that this kind of social problem involving the entire people's livelihood is not something he can solve.
In the next week, the county town suddenly and extremely strangely received heavy rain. This heavy rain came so suddenly that even the weather forecast did not predict it, because according to the weather forecast, there would be no rain in the county town in the next week.
Rainy.
When it rains heavily, some people are happy and others are sad. At least Fang Ming sits under the eaves of the wooden house every day and watches the heavy rain with a smile.
Others didn't know how the heavy rain was formed, but he knew in his heart that it was the help of celestial phenomena caused by the revival of the new dragon vein, and this heavy rain would also determine whether the new dragon vein could be successfully revived.
Seven days later, when the heavy rain finally stopped, Fang Ming and Qin Xue came to the reservoir wearing rain boots. Qin Xue's mouth was open at the moment, looking at the water in the reservoir with a look of surprise. In seven days, the entire reservoir
The water was already two-thirds full.
"Brother, this..."
It's not like Qin Xue has never seen seven consecutive days of rain. She has also seen heavier and longer rains than this one. But after the rain clears up, there is only a small pool of water in the reservoir at most.
, but now, the reservoir is actually full.
This made Qin Xue feel very shocked. She looked at her brother and was about to speak, but when she saw her brother's indifferent smile, she suddenly felt that this was what his brother expected.
Qin Xue recalled in her mind what her brother had done in the reservoir during this period. Could it be that those twenty-four holes were able to overflow the reservoir with water? What is the scientific principle of this?
Physics? Chemistry?
Qin Xue suddenly felt that her brain was a little weak, but she was sure that it had something to do with everything her brother had done these days.
"It's finally a success."
Looking at the full reservoir of water, Fang Ming also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that he had succeeded from the moment of the heavy rain, he was relieved after seeing it with his own eyes.
The Dragon Vein has finally recovered and will take shape in a few decades, but for him, this time is the best.
"Xiaoxue, can you catch fish?"
"Yes."
Qin Xue looked at her brother with some confusion, because he didn't know why his brother suddenly asked this question. You must know that when she was a child, her brother took her to the creek in the village to catch fish.
"Yes, that's good."
Fang Ming nodded, said nothing more, and turned to the abandoned fields beside the reservoir, the more than twenty acres of land belonging to their Qin family.
"Xiaoxue, what fruit do you like to eat?"
"I don't like eating fruit very much."
Hearing Qin Xue's answer, Fang Ming smiled. How could any child not like fruits, especially girls? However, Qin Xue was sensible and knew that her family's conditions were not good, so she would never ask her brother to buy fruits.
Of course, in the past, after Qin Yang paid his salary, he would go to the fruit wholesale market to buy some apples. A long bag of green apples only costs eight yuan, and one bag can last for half a month at a time.
"Well, plant some of each fruit tree, apples, oranges, plums, jujubes..."
Fang Ming had an idea in his mind. With more than 20 acres of land, he could plant many fruit trees, but the first batch would mainly be planted with apples.
"Brother, do you want to plant fruit trees?"
Qin Xue never thought that after her brother was bitten by a poisonous snake, his whole person seemed to have completely changed. It turned out that her brother had few smiles on his face. Although he was very kind to her, the fatigue revealed in that smile made her
Yes, she knew it, and it made her feel sad.
But now her brother's smile is a real smile, as if all the burdens and pressures have been abandoned. She likes her brother's smile now.
"Yes, to get rich, have fewer children and plant more trees. You have also seen this slogan painted on the wall at the entrance of the village. We must respond to the country's call and plant trees to get rich."
Qin Xue was stunned. When did her brother say such a thing? Although her brother loved her, he was also very strict with her. Such half-joking would never be said.
Fang Ming didn't know Qin Xue's inner trajectory. In his mind, he had already planned a way to get rich.
Apple saplings are not expensive, only a few dollars each on the market. It usually takes five years for apples to bear fruit from planting. As for other fruits, they also have about the same age. If some ripening methods are used, they may be ripe earlier.
So about a year.
In one breath, Fang Ming bought five hundred apple trees, one hundred peach trees, one hundred plum trees...
In short, the cost of buying saplings alone reached more than 10,000. Of course, Fang Ming did not have the money. The money was borrowed from a bank.
The country has recently given strong support to farmers' planting and breeding. Under normal circumstances, you can get a loan of 10,000 to 50,000. Of course, everyone knows the domestic loan process, and the loan speed is very slow. However, Fang Ming's loan this time, the bank only
It took a week for approval and the payment was made. The reason is very simple, because Qin Xue.
Everyone knows that Qin Xue, a girl from the Qin family, has good grades and will definitely be promising in the future. It is said that it is difficult to provide help in times of trouble, but it is easier to add icing on the cake. The bank clerk in charge of lending in the town also wants to form a good relationship. Even if he cannot use it, he may not be able to use it in the future.
Children can use this relationship.
In the future, Qin Xue, a girl from the Qin family, will be successful and embark on the road of politics. If she needs help with anything, she still has such a loan.
China is such a society that values human relationships.
Therefore, Fang Ming took advantage of Qin Xue's reputation as a potential stock. Not only did he get a loan of 50,000 yuan, but he also received an agricultural breeding subsidy of 7,000 yuan from the village. This made Fang Ming sigh that he had a sister at home who could read.
It’s so good, you don’t even need to send gifts.
In the remaining time, Fang Ming was busy planting fruit trees. Each of these fruit trees was planted by himself. It seemed that the positions of these fruit trees were in a messy manner. However, only Fang Ming knew that these fruit trees fit the requirements of Qimen Dunjia.
The energy gathering array.
After everything was busy, it was time for the beginning of the high school semester. On the opening day, high school is different from junior high school. You have to board at school, so you need to buy a lot of things.
Therefore, early in the morning on the first day of school, Fang Ming took Qin Xue and took the earliest bus into the city.
ps: I had dinner with book friends in Shenzhen in the evening. After dinner, I was asked to go relax and I refused. Am I this kind of person? I refused decisively, and then after giving him some ideological education, I came back to code.
