Changshui Village Farming Notes

Chapter 75 Counting
This typhoon brought great losses to Gu Kuangyun. After counting by Mr. Gu and Mr. Li, more than 1000 lychee trees in the orchard were overturned and could no longer survive.

Based on the price of 50 yuan for a tree, Gu Kuangyun lost 7 to [-] yuan this time.

For the poor Changshui villagers, 6 to [-] yuan may be a family's annual income.

There were not many lychees left on the few trees that still had fruit, and Gu Kuangyun picked them all by himself.

In the end, I weighed it, and there was a thousand catties. This is because the two old people covered the lychee tree with a black net. Otherwise, it is estimated that there would not be even a hundred catties left.

About [-] catties of lychees were blown away by the wind, and they lay in the mud one by one.

Both Old Man Gu and Old Man Li were distressed. They saw some good lychees on the ground, and they picked them up one by one. They were all worthless money.

In the evening of that day, Gu Kuangyun and the two old people moved the remaining lychees back to her home.

In the evening, Gu Kuangyun left Old Man Gu and Old Man Li for dinner, and Gu Jianping also accompanied him.

After the meal, Gu Kuangyun handed a red envelope to the two of them each.

In the red envelope, there is 3000 yuan.

After receiving the red envelope, Old Man Gu opened it, and saw a stack of Grandpa Mao inside. After a quick look, he found that there were two or three thousand yuan in it. He felt a little restless, "Boss, what does this mean!"

Taking a sip of water, Gu Kuangyun narrowed his eyes and replied, "Grandpa Gu, Grandpa Li, didn't I say that before! After selling the lychees, I will give you bonuses. This year's lychees are selling well, one thousand and eight It’s your salary, and the rest is bonus.”

"Little boss, I was joking with you back then! You...why did you take it seriously." Li Qingchuan didn't expect that he just said it casually before, but he didn't expect this little baby to take it seriously, and suddenly became embarrassed.

She quickly comforted the two elderly people who felt uncomfortable, and Gu Kuangyun smiled playfully, "Grandpa Li, I'm not the kind of person who likes to joke. I won't break my promise when I said I would give you bonuses."

"But..., little boss, this garden has just been hit by a disaster, you'd better take the money back for emergency." As he said that, Old Man Gu wanted to hand back the red envelope in his hand.

Looking at this yellow-black hand covered with calluses, Gu Kuangyun felt a warm current in his heart.

She quickly refused, "Grandpas, what are you doing? Although the orchard has lost some money this time, your wages can still be paid. Hurry up and collect it! You have worked hard and are responsible for this year's success. The bountiful harvest, which you also deserve.”

"You have worked hard during this time. I asked you to come today. I also plan to talk to you about the future. From now on, you may be busy."

Old man Gu and old man Li didn't refuse after hearing the words. They glanced at each other, put away the red envelopes, and waited for Gu Kuangyun's next words.

"Grandpas, you also know. Before I contracted not only this orchard, but also a total of 1000 mu of land in Changshui Village. We have been selling lychees before, so I have no time to clean up other land."

"Although there was a typhoon this time, even though the orchard did not suffer much damage, I can still survive. Don't worry, I have encountered even greater difficulties, and I will not be overwhelmed by this small storm."
