I live in the countryside

Chapter 149 Uncle Joe Comes Back (2 More)
I have to say that Xi Xi is a very thoughtful girl. After Qiao Churan's filming was completed, she took Qin Muzhou and Qiao Churan to the village chief's house, and took the initiative to discuss the future development of Hengshan Village with the village chief and Qin Muzhou. the road.

"Although bamboo weaving is slowly developing now, I think that if the development of Hengshan is only bamboo weaving, it is too simple. In fact, everyone can do this matter during slack. The whole village has a population of more than 200 households. If we only rely on this development If so, it feels like a waste of resources, what do you think?"

This is indeed reasonable, and Xi Xi also discussed this issue with the village chief.

But now the head of the village is only assisting with some administrative work, adjusting some conflicts in the village, and playing a leading role. In terms of development, probably because of his limited ability, he really has no idea.

Since Xixi came, he quickly led the villagers to live a good life. They said that the last time the hundreds of small bamboo baskets were sold, they earned more than 2 yuan. Ten families participated in the weaving. The largest household got more than 4000 yuan, which is an income that can't be obtained from farming for a year, so the actual benefits visible to the naked eye are in front of them, and now the village chief trusts her even more.

I also feel that a girl from a big city like Xi Xi is very knowledgeable and has many ideas better than a country bumpkin like him.

"I'm ashamed to say that I don't know much about these things, so I can only rely on Xiaoxi," said the village chief.

Qiao Churan looked at Xi Xi, then at Qin Muzhou: "So, do you have any ideas?"

When Xi Xi talked about these things, his eyes immediately brightened: "Actually, I think that if we want to develop, we must call back the scattered labor force in the village. This is not only related to the future development, but also related to the whole village. I have thought about family issues, the climate and soil in Qingxi Village are actually suitable for the growth of many crops, sister, don’t you want to grow cantaloupe, I think you can also grow fruit trees here.”

"Oh?" Qiao Churan became interested.

Xi Xi waved his hands and said with a smile: "Of course it's not cantaloupe. I've done some research and think that passion fruit, satsuma, and strawberries are actually all right, but I prefer passion fruit and satsuma. These are of economic value for many years." Fruit tree, so while you are here today, I also want to talk to you about this and listen to your thoughts and suggestions."

Xi Xi looked at Qin Muzhou and Qiao Churan expectantly, as if hoping to get their approval.

Qin Muzhou sat beside Qiao Churan, put one hand on the chair behind her, listened to Xi Xi's words, and asked, "Is this what you think?"

Xi Xi coughed lightly: "Not exactly, I also briefly mentioned it when Brother Zhou Lei came over a few days ago. No matter in terms of fruit value or planting period, the results are quicker, and in terms of climate, Wuxi Town is very suitable."

Qiao Churan couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard Zhou Lei's voice.

The girl Xixi, named Qin Muzhou and very polite Mr. Qin, came to Zhou Lei's place, and she was so affectionate.

But seeing that she didn't realize that there was something wrong, she didn't say anything.

She turned to look at Qin Muzhou.

Qiao Churan himself thinks that Xixi's idea is very good. The development of the countryside must eventually return to planting in order to maximize its value. It's not that bamboo weaving is not good, but that bamboo weaving may be a sideline business. It is not everyone's main business. If there is a more suitable way of development, why should we bypass it.

Qin Muzhou nodded, "The idea is fine. Passion fruit is easy to feed, and the plant life and economic life are long. If you have an idea about this, you might as well go to the town to find Zhou Lei when you have time. Recently, an expert in agronomy came to the town. "

Xi Xi's eyes lit up: "Expert?"

Qiao Churan explained: "It's a professor from Beicheng University. He plans to do some agricultural research in Wuxi Town in the future. He has plenty of time recently and lives in the same building as Zhou Lei."

This made Xi Xi very happy, holding the mobile phone and said: "I'll call Brother Zhou Lei later!"

The two returned from Hengshan Village in the afternoon. When Qin Muzhou sent Qiao Churan home, he saw two folded plastic films in the yard.

Chen Mei explained: "It's those two aunts from last night who insisted on bringing it over, saying they would pay you back, and saying they wouldn't pay you back.

Chen Mei was actually very upset in her heart, but the folks in the village had a good attitude of apologizing, so it was hard to say anything, and Qiao Churan even tried to comfort her in the morning.

Knowing that the two families don't have much money, it is the greatest sincerity to be able to buy the best quality plastic film in the town for hundreds of dollars. It's also good to make people feel less burdened.

Qiao Churan shook his head and said helplessly, "Then accept it."

Accepting it also makes them feel more at ease.

Chen Mei said: "They still wanted to mend it for you, but I stopped them."

Qiao Churan said: "There is no need to repair it, I will replace the greenhouse later."

Chen Mei still doesn't know about this: "What? Replace it, it's so good, why do you want to replace it again?"

Qiao Churan simply explained: "I'll change to an intelligent one, and it can be planted all year round. You don't have to worry about any seasonal issues, so if it breaks, it will break. They will get it if they want to, so don't be angry."

Chen Mei sighed: "How can I be angry, it's your sister-in-law, I'm afraid something will happen again."

Qiao Churan frowned: "What is she going to do again?"

Chen Mei shook her head, lowered her voice, a little disgusted: "After you went out this morning, I heard her call your father, knowing that you have taken all the dry land at home to grow melons, saying that our family is related to your third aunt's. At home, there should be four shares of this dry land, two of which belong to your uncle and uncle, no, you want a share of it."

Qiao Churan was silent for a while.

Chen Mei snorted and said: "It's just fantastic, not to mention that your uncle and uncle are registered in the city, and there is no farmland for them at home. Besides, your third aunt and I have worked so hard to take care of the land for more than 20 years. Oh, now that they have a share, they still have a share. When the family was separated, it was clearly stated that the land certificate is still backed up by the village chief."

Qiao Churan shook her head: "Leave her alone, there won't be any trouble."

Chen Mei sighed and said, "Of course there won't be any disturbances. How can I be afraid that she won't succeed? I'm just worried about your uncle and your younger uncle. If nothing else, your aunt is so greedy that she may not be able to grasp this point." When you come back to make trouble, your uncle and your uncle probably have the same thoughts."

In recent years, it is not uncommon for brothers to fight for land in the village, and Chen Mei has seen it a lot.

Qiao Churan lowered her eyes: "What did my dad say?"

"What else can I say? It's not that he doesn't know what's going on with the cultivated land at home. When your grandfather was still around, it was divided. Your uncle and uncle are not farmers, and there is no cultivated land at home. However, it belongs to Qiao's family. Son, I definitely can’t leave them nothing, so I gave them the land of our old house, not only here, but also other firewood houses. Counting, the land is bigger than our current house , If they want to return to their hometown when they come later, they will demolish the old house and build a new one.”

Qiao Churan responded, "Okay, since the division is made, then follow the division, and you don't care about it, I will ask my dad when the time comes."

Chen Mei didn't want to care about them. She got along with the third aunt of the brothers and sisters of the Qiao family. She wished she could never see the others.

Qiao Churan's melon shed was destroyed, and the rest of it was taken home and sent to the people in the village. There were only about twenty left.

The new melon sheds will be built one after another next month. Qiao Churan looked at the damaged plastic film and decided to hang out.

The news spread quickly in the village. People who passed by saw this scene and knew what happened last night. When they came to comfort Qiao Churan, they didn't forget to scold the thief.

Qiao Churan couldn't stop laughing.

"In the future, when we grow melons together, and when the melons are ripe, we will arrange people to come and see them every day to see who dares to steal our melons."

Qiao Churan said: "No need to do this, there will be special monitoring at that time, and the material of the greenhouse is not as easy to damage as ordinary plastic."

The villagers didn't quite understand what she said, "Then... aren't these the materials for making a greenhouse?"

"It's not just like this." Qiao Churan explained: "When the time comes to the Internet, the machine monitoring will not need to be handled by humans, and the production will be standardized."

Everyone didn't understand it, so they knew it was very powerful, "It is said that last night, you also had a machine monitoring here, so when you were at home, you found someone stealing melons, is it similar to a camera?"

"Almost." Qiao Churan said.

So after this simple chat, the news of the village spread again.

It is said that the eldest daughter of the Qiao family has grown a lot of melons. She needs to be connected to the Internet and monitored by machines. She learned the technology from a big city, and it is all high-tech.

When the words reached Qiao Churan's ears, she couldn't laugh or cry.

But maybe it was also because of the news about celebrating Chen Mei's birthday last night, which was also miraculously spread. The village had already talked about it at this time, and the women in the village couldn't help but tease Chen Mei when they met Chen Mei on the road.

Said that she is the most blessed woman in the village, after working hard for half her life, she finally waited until her daughter had great ability, and let her wait to enjoy the blessing.

Chen Mei was delighted to hear that, and kept her words close to Qiao Churan: "That's because Ranran is capable, she has a lot of ideas in her mind, and I'm in the honor of my daughter!"

Those words made people feel envious, and they really wished that the eldest daughter of the Qiao family would be their own daughter.

At that time, she was showing the printed agreement draft to Ying Bo.

Ying Bo is also a person who has traveled far and wide. Although he is retired now, he still has the ability to read this agreement.

It was only two pages long, and after reading it, I couldn't help but praise: "Xiao Qin is a real kid. This draft is drafted. It guarantees your interests, but it also gives the villagers the greatest benefits."

This was what Qiao Churan had mentioned to Qin Muzhou. They both had the same idea in this regard, and she didn't want to take advantage of the villagers' interests.

Mutual benefit and win-win results in long-term development.

"Yingbo, just watch. If there is no problem, let's finalize this agreement. In the next period of time, we will sign it with our family first. When the corn is harvested in July, I have to let people Come over and set up the greenhouse."

The intelligent greenhouse is built behind, which has relatively high requirements for labor and materials. Yingbo also knew that the time was tight, and said: "If there is any problem, I have Xiaoqin here. I can rest assured, that's it. It is so decided."

Qiao Churan breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day was the weekend, when Qiao Yiyao came back from school.

Now it's the beginning of June, and there is still more than half a month before the senior high school entrance examination, but the school is not in such a hurry. Qiao Yiyao didn't bring much homework for the weekend when he came back.

But Qiao Churan still couldn't help nagging him: "Treat it with a normal mind, treat this exam as your usual test, don't be nervous."

Qiao Yiyao: "Sister! I'm not nervous."

He was eating cantaloupe, and he didn't look very nervous, Qiao Churan couldn't help laughing: "Okay, just don't be nervous."

Both Lu Heng and Qin Muzhou said that now Qiao Yiyao and Zhou Yang's grades are very stable. Every time they take the exam, their grades are very good. Even the lowest Chinese and English are not considered a hindrance. As long as they perform normally, they will be admitted to the county. High is definitely no problem.

But obviously, Qiao Yiyao's goal is not only in the county high school.

"Sister, your melon is so sweet." Qiao Yiyao kept farting in the rainbow: "My sister is indeed a person with great ability. We are No.1 in Qingxi Village. The first time I planted melons, I planted this kind of melon that is unique in the sky. , There is absolutely no smell on the ground!"

Qiao Yiyao gave a thumbs up.

Qiao Churan said coldly: "There is nothing on the ground? Then what are you eating now?"

Qiao Yiyao didn't feel that he was wrong at all, and immediately changed his words: "There is nothing in the sky, but our family has it on the ground!"

Qiao Churan patted him on the head: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Cough!" Qiao Yiyao pretended to cough lightly: "If I pass the entrance examination, and you said to buy me a mobile phone, it still counts?"

Qiao Churan laughed angrily, "Are you thinking about this every day?"

"You have to keep your word!"

Qiao Churan: "..."

"Big boys, don't be coquettish!"

Qiao Yiyao: "..."

Then I saw you acting like a baby with my brother-in-law!

Qiao Churan laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I promised you something, remember it, but if you are addicted to your mobile phone and don't study in high school, I will definitely confiscate it, and don't even think about touching it for three years!"

Qiao Yiyao immediately promised: "I will never!"

Qiao Churan laughed, Qiao Yiyao said: "Sister, when I go back to school next time, can I take two cantaloupe back to Teacher Lu?"

Qiao Churan nodded in response, and pointed to the two gift boxes not far away: "It's ready for you, here, put it there, Teacher Lu is very kind to you, you should thank him."

Qiao Yiyao couldn't refute this.

The siblings were talking in the front hall when they heard voices outside and footsteps.

The voice of Grandma Qiao talking to Uncle Qiao had already entered the house, Qiao Yiyao paused holding the melon, and frowned: "Why are they back again?"
