have a farm

Chapter 8

"You can't smoke. The teacher said it's bad for your health and it smells bad."

"Okay, our little ancestor won't smoke if he doesn't smoke, you are the boss of our family." Li Qian took off the cigarette that was in his mouth and was about to light it, put it behind his ear, and stretched out his hand to rub the jumping hair.

Lu Yilin put down the menu, looked at Li Qian who was teasing, and thought that he still had a mission, and his mood was no longer brisk. He suppressed the smile on his face, thought it over and said, "Brother, I will take care of your business." I heard what Aunt Zhao said, what are your plans next."

Li Qian paused, "Lin Zi, you are here to inquire about news, don't worry, I'm not a brat, I won't do anything impulsively. Since life can't go on, let's leave." Paused Suddenly, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Li Qian's mouth, "You see, I'm already an old man, and my life is still in a mess. It's really a failure to let others watch the jokes and make you worry about me." Hearing what the other party said, he didn't say a word of comfort and persuasion, but Lu Yilin felt even more uncomfortable.

He said softly, "It's okay, everything will pass."

Time is the best medicine, it will heal everything quietly.

The weekend is a sunny day, and the spring and autumn seasons in Shanshi City are very short. Once it gets hot, it will directly enter the summer.Last week, the temperature was only a few degrees, and it was raining and blowing so cold that people shivered.Today's temperature soared to twenty degrees.Coats and coats are too much to wear.

Tiaotiao is the age of growth, Lu Yilin looked at the little guy's clothes from last year, and knew without any gestures that most of them were either short or small.Lu Yilin was about to finish his breakfast, so he took Tiaotiao to buy two spring clothes, and then some summer short-sleeves and shorts, so that he could get clothes for both seasons at once.

Originally, Lu Yilin only informed Yu Yue, but when he went downstairs, he found that two old men from Yu's family had also come.

Liu Xinrong, who was sitting in the car, smiled, "Anyway, we also have something to buy, so we just happened to be together as a companion, and we can also help you refer to it when shopping for clothes.

As long as the boy's clothes can be worn, he doesn't need to choose the style. Anyway, he can wear them for at most two years, but seeing the two people in high spirits, Lu Yilin chose to keep his words in his heart, and he didn't want to disappoint. It's so good The weather is good, it's good to go for a walk together.

After getting out of the car, a group of five people entered the shopping mall in a mighty manner, and went straight to the children's clothing section.

"Children's clothes hangers are good, no matter what they wear, they fit well, and they look better than the child models in our brochures." The shopping guide looked at the father and son coming out of the fitting room, and sighed with a smile, secretly admiring in her heart This father and son look great.

"Yeah, we have good conditions for Tiaotiao, and we will definitely be a handsome guy in the future." Liu Xinrong agreed with a smile. When others praised Tiaotiao, she was happier than Tiaotiao's biological father.

The shopping guide was all smiles, "Your family has such a good relationship. When the child buys clothes, his father, uncle, and grandparents all followed him. Take a look at the clothes your child just tried, which one do you like? I see that every piece of clothing looks good It’s beautiful, so I can’t give you any advice.”

"Since they are all good-looking, let's take the ones I tried just now." Yu Kui, who had been silent all this time, made a decision at this time.

"Ok sir."

Finally, Lu Yilin couldn't stand it anymore, and stopped the shopping guide lady, "You don't need so many." He picked out two sets of clothes from a pile of clothes, "These few are enough." Turning around, he said to the two old people, "Buy enough for a change of laundry. Clothes are fine, Tiaotiao grows fast, and may not be able to wear them next year, even if I buy them, I won’t be able to wear them a few times.”

The couple started from scratch, and they are not people who like to waste money on weekdays. Hearing what Lu Yilin said, he didn't insist on it. Liu Xinrong smiled, "Yilin is right, I will buy the jumper's jacket next year, and summer shorts I have to change and wash every day, but I can buy more."

After shopping for clothes, the four of them went to the next door to pick out two pairs of shoes for the child. The old couple in Yu's family said that the clothes were bought by Tiaotiao's father, and the shoes should belong to grandparents.When paying the bill, he also picked out a sportswear for Tiaotiao.

After all the shopping was finished, it was almost noon. A group of five people decided to have lunch first. Tiaotiao said that he wanted to eat fried chicken. The couple, who have always believed in healthy eating, immediately decided to eat Western-style fast food. As for the opinions of the other two , that is of course irrelevant.

The two old men led Tiaotiao and walked in front, while Yu Yue and Lu Yilin walked behind with big bags and small bags. They were often ignored, and the two of them had long been used to it.

After returning home in the afternoon, taking a shower and changing clothes, Lu Yilin took Tiaotiao and got on the car to Lihua Village.

The father and son will live there for another two or one weekends, and will return to the city on Sunday afternoon.

Lu Yilin is no stranger to Lihua Village. Before he entered high school, he lived here for three months during the summer vacation and winter vacation every year.Childhood and the children in the village ran to every nearby house and stepped on every creek.

Every summer, after dinner, the three brothers would take a basin to take a bath in the river, and when they came back, they could fill half of the basin with shrimps and crabs they found by turning over stones.

In spring, pear blossoms bloom on the hillside near the village, which looks like a white sea from a distance, hence the name of Pear Blossom Village.Next to Lihua Village is Runshui Village, which is only separated by a ravine. After a few years, the city will change a group of leaders, and the policy will change accordingly. The pear trees on the nearby hills have been cut down a dozen years ago. In the first part, the two villages first planted kiwis, then dug them out and planted orange trees, and finally the orange trees grew up, and then dug up and planted sleeves.

In recent years, it has calmed down, probably because most of the young laborers in the village have gone out to work, and some old people and children left have no energy to toss around.

The Li family and his wife are genuine Lihua Villagers. They left because the three children had to study, and they rented a house in Shanshi.

After Zhao Qin resigned from the Lu family, she worked as a salesman in a supermarket in Shanshi. Her husband, Li Ping, is a woodcarver of the Hui school. Carved some exquisite wooden toys for the three children. The boys played with wooden carts, and Lu Yilin took them to class with envious eyes. These are much rarer than plastic toys bought in stores.

In the past few years, the Chinese decoration style has become popular, and Li Ping has received more jobs. His craftsmanship is good. The year before last, his monthly income was more than [-] yuan, and he also accepted several apprentices.

Zhao Qin had a serious illness two years ago, and the doctor told her not to be too tired, so Li Ping asked his wife to quit her job and stay at home to take care of her body. Neighbors talked about their daily routines, and they cleared the land behind the house and planted some vegetables.She said it was home-grown natural organic vegetables, and every time she went back to the city, she would send some to Lu Yilin, and the leftovers that she couldn't finish were made into raw sun-dried vegetables or pickled vegetables, so they were not wasted.

Li Qin's craftsmanship is well-known in the village. The four men in the family have eaten the pickles she made for many years, and they never feel bored.

After getting out of the car, Tiaotiao hopped and ran forward. Lu Yilin smiled and watched from behind, thinking how he would have named his son Tiaotiao back then. Livelier.

Hearing the sound, Zhao Qin walked quickly from the garden at the back to the front yard, washed her hands in the basin by the well and said with a smile, "I was wondering why you guys haven't arrived yet, but I heard the sound of jumping, the food It's all done, let's go in and eat."

She looked at the things in Lu Yilin's hand, and said reluctantly, "I'm not an outsider, I'm here for dinner and shopping."

"I didn't buy anything, so I bought some fruit along the way." Lu Yilin put the fruit in the kitchen, looked at the dishes on the table, "It's just the three of us, so cooking so many dishes might be too much."

"Where there are many, there are only two meat dishes, and the rest of these small dishes are picked in the back yard, free of charge."

After eating, Lu Yilin consciously cleared the table and prepared to wash the dishes, but was chased out of the kitchen by Zhao Qin, "You are the youngest at home, you didn't do anything before, but this time when you come back, you can do everything quickly , I’ve worked hard for you with Tiao Tiao alone.”

"It's not too hard, and jumping is easy to take."

"Yeah, our Tiaotiao are good boys." After a pause, Zhao Qin asked again, "Yilin, have you ever thought about finding another one? You have been single all this time, do you still think about Tiaotiao's mother?"

Lu Yilin was stunned, "No, it's just that I haven't met a suitable one." He has devoted himself to Tiaotiao in the past few years, and he really doesn't have the thought or energy.

The people around him, only Yu Yue, knew about Tiaotiao's life experience. When Lu Yilin came back with Tiaotiao in his arms, he told others that Tiaotiao was born to his ex-girlfriend. After the two broke up, the other party's family immigrated abroad. Throw the jump to him.

At the beginning, everyone was shocked. After all, in the eyes of conservative villagers, it is not a good reputation to make other people's stomachs bigger, but as time goes by, everyone has faded away. After all, it is someone else's business.Up to now, people close to him have guessed that Lu Yilin is single because he still misses Tiaotiao's biological mother. From Tiaotiao's facial features, one can tell that the biological mother must be a great beauty, so it's no wonder that Lu Yilin never forgets her.

For such a misunderstanding, Zhao Yilin has never clarified it. He can't tell others that he doesn't even know what his "birth mother" looks like.

"That's right, there's no rush to choose the right person to live with." After experiencing Li Qian's incident, Zhao Qin took it easy.

After talking with Li Qin for a while, Lu Yilin stood up and went out with a drink in his hand. He came back this time and had one more important thing to do.

Lu Yilin has always been fond of foreign farms. In the past few years, he has visited many farms in China and accumulated a lot of experience.

At first it was just a dream, and after watching it a lot, it took shape. Later, it became clearer and he wanted to put it into practice.He returned to Shanshi this time. On the one hand, he jumped to the age of studying, and on the other hand, he was for the farm.

Lihua Village is also close to Shanshi City. The road was newly built last year, and it only takes an hour to drive from the city.

There are people who feed goats, pigs, and grow mushrooms in the village, and the ecological protection is very good.I don’t know if it is a place to support people. There are a lot of long-lived elderly in the village. Many of them can go to the mountains to chop firewood after they are 80 years old. Their bodies are very strong.

Lu Yilin was attracted by the beautiful mountains and rivers here. He wanted to build a small farm nearby. When he came back at the end of last year, Lu Yilin had visited the site and carefully selected the address. When he went to ask, the land had already been rented. , a foreigner rented it for five years to grow mushrooms.

Lu Yilin felt regretful at the time, and didn't want to re-select the address, so he wanted to negotiate with the renter to see if the other party could sublet it to him.After inquiring again and again, Lu Yilin found out that the man just built a simple bamboo shed after renting the land, and then put it there without planting mushrooms even once.The money was paid until April this year, and the owner of the land didn't want to rent it anymore. He felt that it was a pity that it had been left unused, so he took it back when it was due.

Lu Yilin went around and found the owner of the land, and he planned to buy the land at that time.No, just in April, Lu Yilin came over with a prepared contract.

Because it had been agreed earlier, the matter went very smoothly. Lu Yilin poured wine for the other party while talking, and it was settled quickly.Originally, the host family wanted Lu Yilin to accompany him for a drink, but Lu Yilin treated it with tea instead of wine because he was allergic to alcohol.

Ever since the drunken incident on that trip, Lu Yilin never wanted to touch alcohol again in his life.

Lu Yilin spent 3 yuan to buy Jiufen land on the side of the imported road. He had his own calculations in his heart. He couldn't buy all the land needed to open a farm. He didn't have that much money, and not everyone was willing to sell it.At that time, if the leased land expires and the farm is opened and the price is raised by someone sitting on the land, or the landlord takes it back and wants to do it himself, he can be regarded as a reserve when he buys an important intersection.

Taking ten thousand steps back, blocking the intersection will have a big impact...

After coming out of the owner's house, it was completely dark. Lihua Village was no more dim than the lights of the city at night, and there was no sound of car horns. It was very quiet and peaceful.

The lights from the house were scattered in layers in the night, and the farmers went to bed early. It was less than nine o'clock, and there were no people on the road.

When Lu Yilin returned home, Tiaotiao had already fallen asleep on the bed. He didn't know whether he woke up when he heard the door opening or was talking in his sleep, so he called "Dad" softly.

"Jump." Lu Yilin leaned down and called, but the little guy didn't respond again. Lu Yilin smiled, and got into the quilt after washing.

As soon as Lu Yilin came back, he began to prepare for the farm. In the past three months, he has rented a lot of land nearby. The address of the farm that Lu Yilin chose happened to be in the valley between Lihua Village and Runshui Village. Well, there are several springs on the mountain, so he likes it very much.

Lu Yilin and the villagers on both sides have rented land.The 20-year contract signed by Tongyi is characterized by a large amount of land, so the price is not high. There are 200 acres of paddy fields and [-] acres of mountain land. The rent is collected every four years. Zhao Yilin has already signed almost [-] acres.

Zhao Yilin also has some savings over the years. When he told Yu Yue his thoughts, he didn't expect that Yu Yue was also interested in opening a farm. When he said he wanted to buy a share, Lu Yilin thought that the other party was just talking casually. He didn't want the next day, Yu Yue So I transferred a sum of money to him, which was a considerable amount.

With one more person to invest, Lu Yilin has relatively more money on hand.He has inspected many domestic farms before, and found that pure farming is not profitable, and the vegetables he grows cannot be sold at a good price.

To open a farm, the word "open" means that it is aimed at the public. With five years of experience in the hotel industry, Lu Yilin also has a certain understanding of the consumer psychology of the public. No matter what he does, he must first be able to find the right location.

Although it is his dream to open a farm, it is still necessary to recover the cost.Lu Yilin's thinking is clear, and he plans to provide special catering services to drive the consumption of pollution-free vegetables and mountain spring fish. Only in this way can there be a way out.

The next day, Lu Yilin wandered around the village. Today he approached the village cadres and planned to rent out the land near Lihua Village, about [-] to [-] mu.The farm is expected to start construction in early May, and many things have to be accelerated.The secretary of the village committee didn't say yes or no, but said that he had to wait for the village to hold a meeting at night to study before he could give an answer.

But before Lu Yilin got the result, he called him back to the city.He walked in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to tidy up the grass foam on his body and the mud on his heels.
