I live in the countryside

Chapter 140 Harvest (1 more)
It wasn't until Qiao Churan sent Professor Tang and Qin Muzhou away that the neighbors came over to find out what was true: "Ranran, is that Xiao Qin's father? Are you meeting your parents today?"

"Is the date fixed?"

"Oh, this year and next year will be good years, and our old Qiao's family hasn't had a big wedding for a long time. Your mother must be very happy!"

Qiao Churan was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't laugh or cry: "No, that's not Muzhou's father, but his teacher in Beicheng."

"Ah? Teacher, why did the teacher come to the door?"

Facing the relative's doubts, Qiao Churan simply explained: "He is a university professor who originally studied agriculture. Now that he is retired, he wants to come to our Wuxi Town and grow cantaloupe with me."

This statement seems to have shattered the three views of the villagers.

A university professor, that is someone they have never seen in their entire lives, and now there is such a famous university professor who comes to the small place of Qingxi Village and grows cantaloupe with Ranran?
Are university teachers also farmers?

Isn't that retired and raised by the country, with a pension? Why do they still go to the countryside to suffer?

The villagers had a natural awe of teachers. When they heard what Qiao Churan said, they immediately felt that the matter of Qiao Churan growing melons was even more bizarre than they had imagined.

There are also more capable.

Qiao Churan knew everyone's thoughts, but she didn't say much, but asked, "Auntie, how do you think about the land you asked earlier, will you rent it for me to grow melons?"

These are Chen Mei's sisters-in-law, and they know a lot. Even though the melons haven't been harvested yet, looking at the life of Qiao Churan's family, since she came back, it's getting better and better, even with Chen Mei. Like ten years younger, of course my heart is also excited.

A few aunts who were hesitant before and said they wanted to go back to discuss with their husbands immediately said: "Don't you still want to tell you this matter? Think it over, think it over, Ranran, I have two acres of land, I have two acres of land with you. That one is closer, why don't I build a greenhouse for you to grow melons after I collect the corn?"

Qiao Churan was overjoyed: "Of course that's good, Auntie, if you have discussed it with my uncle, I will draw up an agreement and sign it for you."

Qiao Churan was so forthright, but the aunt who spoke was in a good mood: "Oh, what kind of agreement is drawn up, we are all one family, I promise to plant it for you, if it doesn't work, can you go back on it later?"

Qiao Churan bent her eyes and smiled: "That won't work, we have to make it clear in black and white, everyone trusts me and is willing to support me, and I have to guarantee everyone, if I can't pay the land contract fee in the end, you will take it." Sue me in black and white, accusing me of lying."

Her charming words made everyone laugh: "You child, really, can you still talk? We are all in the same family. If you dare to lie to my aunt, I will scold you directly."

Qiao Churan smiled and didn't care at all.

Once there is one person who speaks, the rest of the people who speak will be much more relaxed.

"There are three acres of land near me. Ranran, I have discussed with your uncle, and I will contract it to you."

"I have two acres of land. When the corn is harvested and the land is cleared, I will plant it for you."

"And me, my family doesn't have much land, and my father is working outside, and I have planted all the dry land for you. I will plant whichever piece you like!"

"Ouch, you're just so refreshing, the land is dyed!" Hearing what an aunt said, some people couldn't help laughing and joking.

The aunt who spoke just now snorted and said: "I am the only labor force in my family. The children are still young and have to go to school. His father is not at home. I can't wait for Ranran to contract all my land and let me live on it." Good day."

Although the villagers regard the land as important as life, they also yearn for the days when they don't have to farm the land, which means the arrival of good days, and they don't need to be exposed to wind, sun and rain.

Qiao Churan also smiled and said, "Okay, when I become a millionaire in the future, I will contract all the land that was burned. In the future, your family will directly accept the rent from the landlord and live a good life."

Hearing these words, the younger aunts laughed even more happily.

Hearing what everyone said, Qiao Churan was very happy. In the past few days, some relatives of the Qiao family came over occasionally and said that they could contract the land near the greenhouse for Qiao Churan. It is not yet known where Qiao Churan can plant it. If she can continue to expand the scale, the land further away can also be contracted to her.

Those who came to agree to contract the land were all the sisters-in-law of Qiao's family and Chen Mei.

Most of these people are husbands who work in Guangzhou Province, and they raise their children and take care of the elderly at home alone. Usually, they take care of several acres of land at home alone, and they can't take care of it at all. During the busy season of farming every year, they are exhausted. They are about to suffer from a serious illness, but they dare not abandon the land. Not only will it be difficult to restore this waste in the future, but even the owners of the surrounding fields will swallow up a little bit by silkworms, and conflicts will arise for nothing.

After thinking about it, it's better to contract it to Qiao Churan's family.

After all, they are all from the old Qiao's family. Even if something goes wrong, where else can they go? If something goes wrong, the elders in the clan can help to solve it.

Qiao Churan naturally agreed to it, and the land that Qiao's relatives agreed to is now about [-] acres.

But... that's not enough.

And two days later, Qiao Churan's cantaloupe harvested.

There are only more than one mu of land, and there are only more than 500 cantaloupe, and picking them is not too strenuous.

I contacted the manufacturer in advance to pre-order the packaging bags and shock-proof omentum, which have already been sent to Qiao’s house.

Early in the morning, Qiao Zongming and Qiao Churan went to the field. Taking advantage of the busy time of farming and the third aunt's house was fine, he rushed over to help, cut the melons and fruits from the branches and put them on the ground. Put them in baskets lined with straw, and then transport them back home one by one. Chen Mei and Aunt Nine helped pack them up, and then sent them out with the cooperating logistics.

On the day of the official picking, Qiao Churan made a short 4-minute live broadcast.

It can also be regarded as a ceremonial commemoration for my first planting.

Because of the advance notice and the large number of fans, on the day of the live broadcast, many people watched it, and it even directly became a hot topic on the website.

Netizens saw her live broadcast, and the golden yellow and brightly colored melons in the camera are mouth-watering. There are also cut, fully ripe melons, the color is golden and bright, and the deep golden yellow around the melon sac makes people drool. It seems that I can already taste the sweet and refreshing taste through the screen.

It's almost unstoppable.

It's a pity that her batch of cantaloupe has all been reserved, even if she covets it, she can only look at it but not eat it.

Before noon, according to the previous order, more than 1000 cantaloupes had all been transported back from the greenhouse.

There are still some left hanging on the vines, which are specially kept by Qiao Churan.

Qiao Churan was in a hurry to send out hundreds of boxes of melons today, and after picking them, he only had time to cut up a few for the aunts who were helping Qiao's family to try something new, so he hurriedly put the melons into gift boxes and packed them. All are to be mailed by four o'clock in the afternoon.

Cantaloupe is expensive, not to mention how many people in the village have lived half their lives without tasting the taste of cantaloupe, even in Wuxi Town, they rarely sell it.

This is the fresh taste that can only be tasted thanks to Qiao Churan's blessing.

There are more than 500 boxes of cantaloupe, which are actually not many. With the help of a few neighbors, they were all packed in one go and placed neatly in the yard of Qiao's house.

There is no logistics delivery point in Wuxi Town. Usually, if you come back by express, it will be placed in the county seat. The logistics point in the county seat will be placed on the minibus back to the town, and it will be placed at the station, and an additional small fee will be charged. The cost of the bus transportation, so Qiao Churan contacted the logistics of Chaoyang County.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the logistics truck drove directly to Qingxi Village, which was brought in by Qin Muzhou.

The logistics vehicle parked outside Qiao's courtyard. After counting the quantity, they loaded onto the vehicle one after another. After more than half an hour, the vehicle was full of more than 500 boxes of cantaloupe and left in the dust. , There are several melons in the front hall of Qiao's house.

Qiao Churan turned around and gave the fruit to the aunts who came to help: "Auntie, you have worked hard today. Take these back and give them a taste for the children at home."

A few people had eaten a lot at Qiao Churan's house just now, and when they were packing, they heard that the melon was expensive, costing more than ten yuan a catty, and this melon cost more than 34 yuan no matter what. How about taking it back?
"No, no, it's all a family, what do you take, you keep it and sell it yourself."

Seeing the distressed look of the aunts, Qiao Churan couldn't laugh or cry, and stuffed it into someone's hand: "It's okay, take it home and eat it together, it's okay to sell more or less, how can you grow something that your own people can't eat?" reason."

She was so generous, which made the aunts feel embarrassed, but the favors in the village and the village just came and went like this, and Qiao Churan couldn't get her mind off it, so she could only happily go back with the melon in her arms.

Qin Muzhou watched from the side, and asked with a smile, "How much more?"

Qiao Churan thought for a while, then said, "There are many more."

She even sent Gao Tingting's and college roommate's points, but in real terms, the number of melons sold was only more than 1000, and the rest were given by Qiao Churan to relatives and friends.

Qin Muzhou laughed: "One-third of them were given away by you."

Qiao Churan snorted softly: "I am willing."

Qin Muzhou stroked Qiao Chu's dyed hair, and said with a gentle smile, "Didn't you give some to your future mother-in-law?"

Qiao Churan was taken aback for a moment, and felt a little embarrassed. She really forgot, and subconsciously felt that it was not a special gift, so she didn't expect to go to Qin Muzhou's parents.

Qin Muzhou looked at her with a funny face, and said softly: "My mother likes all kinds of southern fruits. She watches your video every day now, and she has been looking forward to it since the fruit came out."

"Why don't you tell me." Qiao Churan looked at Qin Muzhou dissatisfied.

Knowing that her mother likes southern fruits, she only told her at the end of the day, hum!

Qin Muzhou suppressed a smile and said, "You seem to have a fan who leaves messages for you every day, calling you your daughter-in-law, and complaining to me, so you haven't replied to her messages."

Qiao Churan: "..."

How did she know!
Who would really believe this kind of news?
She quickly took out her mobile phone, scrolled through her private messages on Weibo, and urged Qin Muzhou, "Hurry up, who is your mother?"

Qin Muzhou was leisurely, smiling either badly or badly: "So nervous?"

Qiao Churan wanted to kick him, but she soon discovered a suspicious target. The other party sent her a WeChat message in the morning, and the ID was "Ranran is my daughter-in-law".

Qiao Churan glanced at the content of WeChat: "Ranran, good daughter-in-law, see your mother's private message and reply?"

A lot of cute expressions were added at the back.

Qiao Churan: "..."

Qin Muzhou smiled, remembering the ultimatum that Ms. Tang gave him on WeChat, if Ranran was not allowed to go back to her prison, she would go to Wuxi Town to find her daughter-in-law directly, and brought over his stupid childhood photos.

So she took Qiao Churan's phone, first clicked back in the private message dialog box on Weibo, and then sent a cute emoji from her usual emoji package.

This operation was too fast, and Qiao Churan snatched back the phone in a daze: "Hello!"

Just as he snatched the phone, Qin Muzhou's phone rang. He glanced at the caller, but it wasn't Ms. Tang.

Facing Qiao Churan's accusing expression, Qin Muzhou laughed, and shook his phone: "My mother's phone number."

Qiao Churan instantly felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, he stood up straight like a primary school student being called, and stared at Qin Muzhou.

Qin Muzhou answered the phone slowly, and Ms. Tang's excited voice came from the microphone: "Son, my daughter-in-law has locked me back!"

Although it wasn't played outside, the voice was clear enough that Qiao Churan couldn't help but cover her face.

Qin Muzhou raised his hand and patted his girlfriend's hair in a funny way, and said slowly, "Got it, I saw it."

Ms. Tang immediately realized: "Ranran is next to you?"

"I'm at her house."

After Qin Muzhou finished speaking, Ms. Tang immediately hung up the phone. Qin Muzhou was taken aback and quickly realized.

Sure enough, in the next second, the invitation of the WeChat video came.
