The lychees were selling out very fast today, and Li Bu was almost familiar with the journey.
Therefore, Li Bu and Li Yanmei returned home much earlier than before. It was around 11:40 and they returned to the village before 12 o'clock.
Li Aiguo, who was helping to build a school on the mountain and had just come down from the mountain to prepare for home cooking, was stunned when he saw Li Bu and Li Yanmei coming back so early; "Sell, sell... sold out"
?”
"Well, it's sold out. Today's customers are relatively wealthy. They all bought ten catties, twenty catties, and fifty catties. More than a thousand catties were sold out in one go."
After smiling and replying to Li Aiguo a few words, Li Bu opened the car door, handed him the roast duck, roast pig, braised beef, and white wine he bought for him and said, "Dad, these are the snacks I bought for drinking. Take them back.
I still have an iron net to send to the orchard. When it is finished, Yanmei and I will go to your house to have a meal..."
"Okay, we are all family members, you can just come over and eat. By the way, your car is made of iron mesh and wires. Why did you buy so many of these things?
Are you planning to raise chickens in the orchard?
If so, then you have to get some cement to build a cabin, otherwise the chicken will be snatched away by a weasel at night and you won't even know." After reaching out to take the vegetables and wine bought by Li Bu, Li Aiguo looked at the van.
Behind, there are several large bundles of wire mesh under the basket.
Hearing Li Aiguo's words, Li Bu, an inexperienced first-time farmer, immediately nodded seriously and said, "Cement, right? OK, I will bring back a few bags of cement when I go out tomorrow. Is there anything else I need to buy?"
"
"Barbed wire and wire, you've already bought them.
Next time you go out, just buy cement, iron nails, and iron sheets for roofing.
Your dad and I can make the remaining things out of wood ourselves. After the school is built, your dad and I won’t have much to do, so we can just help you." He smiled and said about building the cabin.
After returning the things he needed, Li Aiguo also smiled and promised that he would help Li Bu with his work, and then took the things Li Bu gave him and went home first.
And just as Li Aiguo left with his things, Li Wanfu and Li Wanda also came down from the mountain.
As soon as the two came down, Li Wanda looked at Li Bu and said angrily, "Xiao Bu, you can't do this. There's a dad over there and a dad over here. How can you favor one over the other?"
"Uncle, don't make trouble, I'm just discussing things with my father-in-law.
Also, I was originally waiting for my dad here.
Dad, these are the snacks and liquor I bought for you. Yanmei and I will eat at my father-in-law's place at noon, and we will go to your place to eat in the evening." After replying to his uncle in a state of laughter and laughter, Li Bu said
She quickly took the cooked food and liquor that Li Yanmei handed out from the car, and handed them to Li Wanfu with a smile.
"You kid, it's true that you just bought roast chicken yesterday and now you're buying roast duck today.
And I haven’t even finished the liquor you bought yesterday. Now you buy it again. It’s such a waste of money. You’re just making some money.”
After laughing and disdainful of Li Bu, Li Wanfu took the things Li Bu gave him and said to his eldest brother Li Wanda with a smile: "Brother, why don't you just stay at my house at noon? The child is not in the village now.
There are only four people in my family, so it would be too troublesome to cook in two houses..."
"Okay, I just happened to be a little greedy for wine these days, so I asked Xiaobu to be filial and pick up a few glasses of wine to drink today, hahaha..." The relationship between brothers Li Wanda and Li Wanfu has always been very good.
Okay, so when faced with Li Wanfu's invitation, Li Wanda agreed without any pretense.
The things have been given to the two families, and it is time for me to go to my orchard and unload my things.
So after brothers Li Wanfu and Li Wanda agreed to have lunch together, Li Bu started the car with a smile and said, "Dad, uncle, Yanmei and I have to go to the orchard, so let's go first."
Already..."
"Okay, then go ahead and get busy. There is still time to pick lychees in the afternoon. Come and call me and your mother. We will pick with you then. There are so many people and it is easy to work." After replying with a few words of greeting with a smile.
, Li Wanfu also carried his things and left home with Li Wanda.
After looking back at Li Wanfu and Li Wanda who were leaving, Li Bu started the car and drove towards his orchard. He looked at Li Yanmei and said with a smile, "Yanmei, what did you think at first? There are so many movies in your parents' house."
Orchard, why did you choose this area of longan trees?
Moreover, this longan tree is still a new tree that will only start to bear fruit next year. If you choose this fruit tree with zero harvest this year, are you not afraid that I will be brainless and have to endure hardship for a year with me?"
“If I don’t choose the longan tree, what other tree can I choose?
In addition, this land was originally the dowry my parents gave me when we got engaged.
Furthermore, in my parents’ orchards, are there any other trees to choose from? The lychee forest is more than ten or twenty years old, the persimmon trees are also ten or twenty years old, and the black olives are even older.
The tree is over fifty years old.
Those old trees will basically be eliminated in a few years, so besides choosing this newly planted longan tree, can I choose anything else?
Besides, if I choose other fruit trees, it won't be convenient for you to raise chickens." Li Yanmei, who has begun to control the heroine's attitude, will no longer be as submissive to Li Bu as before. Now Li Bu said that she
She even dared to say three sentences back.
After hearing Li Yanmei's words, Li Bu drove the car to the entrance of the orchard. He parked the car, opened the door and got out of the car. He looked at Li Yanmei and said with a funny face, "It sounds like that's what you said, but it's a pity that you can't say that."
Cover up the fact that you asked for the litchi garden but your parents didn’t give it to you, hahaha..."
"You found out and said, you just wanted to laugh at me, right?
You must have seen my joke.
Humph, if I hadn't been afraid that you really didn't know how to live and would have nothing to eat after marrying you, do you think I would be shameless and ask for things that belong to my brother? Humph." Hearing that Li Bu actually knew
When she asked her parents for a lychee garden, but they didn't give it to her, Li Yanmei immediately lost her previous stubbornness, stared at Li Bu angrily, and complained angrily.
He casually picked up a fallen lychee from the car, opened the lychee shell, and stuffed the pulp into Li Yanmei's mouth. Li Bu opened the back door of the van and removed the iron wires and mesh with a smile on his face.
He said thoughtfully, "I'm not laughing at you. When I heard what our dad said, I was quite moved.
But Dad also said that it wasn’t that he didn’t want to give us the lychee trees, but that the trees were really too old and he wasn’t sure whether they could continue to bear fruit. He didn’t want us to have the lychee trees grow the second year after we took over them.
It’s all work in vain, that’s why…”
"I was worried at the beginning that you would be unable to hold up the wall with mud like others said, so I asked my parents if they wanted lychee trees. If I had known that you were so powerful, I would not have asked that question.
Woolen cloth.
And I feel that our longan trees are pretty good too. Look at them on two whole hills.
In the future, we can raise chickens, goats, etc., and then when our longans mature, we can go out to sell longans, chickens, and goats. How great, hehehe..." Pointing to his two
A dowry on the top of a mountain, Li Yanmei said with a look of longing for the future.
After gently putting his arms around Li Yanhong's waist, Li Bu pointed to the two hills and planned with a smile: "I'm going to build four or five small cabins on the top of the hill here, and then surround them with barbed wire.
Free range chickens.
On the second hilltop, I am also going to build a few larger cabins. I will use this hilltop to raise pigeons. I will raise pigeons that I can just let them out and let them find food for themselves and feed them occasionally.
At that time, our pigeon droppings and chicken droppings can also be used as fertilizer for fruit trees. If we can’t use up our own fruit trees, we can also use them for our parents’ fruit trees.
Also, we can also raise fish in the small lake at the foot of the mountain. Anyway, the small lake is included in our mountain top and we don’t have to pay rent, so we won’t lose money no matter what we do..."
