Chapter 382 City People in the Village

Chapter 382 City People in the Village

After two days, Zhang An’s family finally handed over all the kiwi saplings on several acres of land to everyone who ordered the saplings.

The kiwi fruit saplings this time are better than those cultivated last year. After all, they are already second generation seedlings.

Looking at the hopeful smiles on everyone’s faces as they planted trees, Zhang An also silently blessed them.

They are all looking forward to it, hoping that it will bear fruit smoothly after planting.

But in fact, Zhang An knew that his saplings were different from ordinary saplings. As long as everyone did not mess around, they would definitely survive smoothly.

Although the number of people planting kiwi fruit has increased significantly this year, the area planted with kiwi fruit has also expanded a lot.

But Zhang An has never worried about sales. Ding Yi has opened many supermarket branches now, and he can absorb a lot there.

And there is also Lu Cheng, a fruit merchant as big as him must have a lot of demand.

The current expansion of the village is just a drop in the bucket for them.

Taking ten thousand steps back, Zhang An was not worried even if Ding Yi and Cheng Cheng were no longer able to rely on each other.

Zhang An has space. Even if they don’t buy it in the future, Zhang An will help everyone sell it.

Anyway, it is easy to carry in a space, and it will not rot. At worst, it will travel to a few big cities.

And now Zhang An has enough confidence to give everyone the answer. After all, their family's current financial situation is not shallow.

Although everyone knew each other, he never put all his hopes in the other person's hands.

After all, as the old saying goes, mountains will fall if you rely on them, and they will flow if you rely on water. It is best to rely on yourself.

After Miaozi was raised, Zhang An returned to his previous lazy life.

Occasionally, there are days when Su Ying wants to be lazy and doesn't want to go to school, so she goes out to teach a few classes for Su Ying.

The rest of the time, he is just like a eldest daughter who has not left the palace. He stays at home reading books and playing with the dog every day.

As the end of the month approaches, the weather has been clear and sunny these days.

Su Ying went to school to work, Zhang Jianguo went to the mountains to herd sheep, and old mother Wang Fang was in the backyard, guarding the fish pond to receive fishing friends.

Although the number of people who came to Zhang An's house to fish dropped sharply after the first few days, several people still came every day.

Wang Fang can earn hundreds of dollars every day just by staying in the backyard. She doesn't want to be too satisfied.

And she was not just sitting in the backyard, but holding needle and thread in her hand, embroidering the cut pieces of cloth.

These are the baby clothes and shoes Wang Fang is preparing for her grandson who will be born in the future.

In the village, the mother of the child usually does these tasks, because the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is like that these days.

But in Zhang An’s family, there is no such and such problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Not to mention that Su Ying is not good at these needlework, and she is also busy at work and has little free time.

And Wang Fang was reluctant to let her daughter-in-law do this, so she did it herself in advance.

Although these things are sold on the street, the styles sold on the street in this era are not very good.

The materials I chose were not as good as those made by myself, and the embroidery was not as beautiful as those made by myself.

More importantly, the ones sold on the street are not as comfortable to wear as the ones you make yourself.

So few people in rural areas will buy it on the street. It is better to make it yourself and save money.

Of course, Wang Fang is not thinking about saving money. Anyone who has studied Wanderer Yin knows that every stitch is the care and love of adults for their children.

Especially since Wang Fang has been doing needlework for decades, the clothes and shoes she makes are really good.

In fact, whether it is baby clothes, Zhang An’s family does not need to make them again, because the clothes Zhang An wore when he was a child are still there.

Everyone who grew up in rural areas should know that the clothes they wore when they were children were very strong, and they can still be found and well preserved when they grow up.

And many families have more children. Maybe the children in the family wear those sets of clothes one by one, and take turns wearing them.

This is because those clothes are made by myself at home, so when buying fabrics, I always choose better ones.

In addition, there is little wear and tear when worn by children, so it can be stored for a long time.

Moreover, Zhang An only has one child in his family, and those things were well preserved by Wang Fang, so they are still as good as new.

Now their family can still find a cabinet of clothes that Zhang An wore when he was a child. This is because other relatives gave birth to children. Wang Fang gave some to them before, otherwise there would be more.

In addition to the baby's small clothes and shoes, Wang Fang also plans to make two beds for carrying children - back fans.

A thick-backed fan for winter and a thin-backed fan for summer.

This stuff is also sold on the street, and the price is relatively expensive, but more people choose to buy it.

This is because making back fans is different from making clothes. It is very troublesome to make, especially the embroidery on the cloth, which is very time-consuming. It usually takes ten days and a half to complete it, and most people cannot do it. .

But some people choose to do it themselves. If they don’t know how to do it, they will pay someone they know to do it. This is because there is a very superstitious saying in the countryside.

If your children are carried on their backs with home-made back fans, they can grow up safer and healthier.

For example, in Zhang An’s family, the back fan used to carry Zhang An was made by Wang Fang herself.

Because there is only one child in the family, Zhang An, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang, as well as Zhang An’s grandparents, all hope that Zhang An can grow up safely and healthily.

But this thing is very durable. In the past, everyone’s back fans were carried on their backs by generations of people.

The back fan of Zhang An's bed only had Zhang An on its back. Even now when it was taken out of the cabinet, it was still as good as new, and the embroidery on the cloth was still lifelike.

But Wang Fang attaches great importance to her eldest grandson. She has to make new clothes and shoes, not to mention one or two bed fans.

Anyway, Zhang An doesn't let her do any work now, so she has a lot of time. She can kill time by doing needlework every day.

But Zhang An didn’t want to waste this beautiful spring time. His mother was in the backyard, so he moved a deck chair and placed it in the front yard.

Lying lazily on it, bathing in the warm sunlight.

Although the sun is very bright, it is different from the scorching sun in summer and does not bask in the sun.

As the soft spring breeze blew slowly, Zhang An felt that it was really enjoyable to sunbathe in spring.

But just after sunbathing for a while, Zhang An felt a little uncomfortable, and there were still some areas that needed improvement.

Because his eyes were half-baked by the sun, even if he closed his eyelids, when he looked into the room, his vision had become a little dark.

But this little episode will not deter him from sunbathing.

I got up and went back to the house, took out a straw woven sun hat and put it on my face. It felt right.

"Zhang An, are you at home?"

Zhang An was just enjoying the sun when he heard someone calling him at the door.

Too lazy to move, he took off the straw hat covering his face and found that the person coming was Mr. Li Mingwu. "Hey, Uncle Li is here, has he recovered?"

Old man Li Mingwu came. Zhang An moved a recliner for him and took him to bathe in the spring sunshine.

“After Zhang An’s treatment, I’m very strong now and feel younger than before.”

I was afraid that Zhang An wouldn’t believe it, so I even twisted it around for Zhang An. have a look.

"Okay, okay, don't twist your old waist. Looking at your rosy face, I know you are full of energy."

It is indeed completely different from the old man who walked tremblingly and could not withstand the wind.

Compared with before, I am much more energetic and energetic. After all, a glowing face can completely prove a person's physical condition.

“But you kid knows how to enjoy it. It’s really comfortable to lie down and bask in the sun like this. It’s more leisurely than us retired old men.”

Everyone else in the village is on the ground. Everyone was working in full swing, but Zhang An was the only one enjoying the sunshine in the yard.

Those who don’t know better think that Zhang An is retiring early and living a life of retirement.

"By the way, where did you buy this recliner? I'll buy two of them too. It's really comfortable to lie down on."

As soon as he lay down for a while, Li Mingwu fell in love with Zhang An's recliner. .

"I made these chairs myself. If Uncle Li likes it, I will give you two as a housewarming gift when you guys move here."

Zhang Anzheng worries that he has nothing to give. I gave Li Ming Wudang a moving gift. Seeing as he likes this recliner so much, I might as well give him two recliners.

This chaise longue seems to be made of the finest Davidia wood in the space, so it would look grand as a gift.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to have this skill."

Li Mingwu was surprised to hear that Zhang An could also do carpentry.

It is not easy for a young man of his age to be able to concentrate on learning medical skills, but he can also do carpentry.

And the workmanship of this chair is very beautiful, which shows that Zhang An's carpentry work is not bad.

"Then your two chairs will be ready soon. We will move them here tomorrow."

Li Mingwu would have refused if it was anything else, but he really liked this chair. He liked her so much, and it was Zhang An who did it himself. He wanted to refuse but couldn't.

After all, he also has a big yard there, and it must be comfortable to have a chair to lie down like this.

"Haha, don't worry, even if you move here today, I can still send it to you."

Zhang An is not surprised that Li Mingwu's family is moving here, because it has already happened a few days ago Several families moved here.

However, Zhang An does not plan to make this recliner out of stock. After all, the workmanship of this recliner is quite complicated and it will take a lot of time to make.

The last time Zhang An made chairs, he made a lot of them. In addition to giving them to a few elderly people at home and Su Ying's grandparents, there were still a few left at home.

You can send it to Li Mingwu when he leaves later.

“I didn’t expect you to build a house so fast here, with such a big yard. It only took a month to complete it.”

When he left last time, those The foundation hadn't even been dug yet, so I didn't expect it to be built so quickly.

In Li Mingwu’s imagination, building a house in rural areas was not so fast.

Although Li Mingwu is from the city, he also has relatives in the countryside.

For those people to build a house, it takes three to five months from preparing materials to building it, and the money is smooth.

He was really surprised that Changqing could build so many yards so quickly.

“Haha, it’s normal to be fast. After all, they have dozens of people building it together, so they must be fast.”

Zhang An’s second uncle is building these yards. We found all the people in the village who could be masons and build walls.

In addition, the material used is brick instead of stone, so it naturally doesn't take much time.

"By the way, Zhang An, I came here today because I wanted to buy some vegetables from your house. I'll catch two of your native chickens and geese, a few fish, and your vegetables." It’s delicious. Give me a basket of it too.”

After chatting for a long time, Li Mingwu got down to business with Zhang An.

"And your family, remember to come to my place tomorrow night and help me burn the bottom of the pot, which is in the third yard at the intersection."

Moving is called a celebration in the city. , in rural areas it is called burning the bottom of the pot, so Li Mingwu can be regarded as following the local customs.

Nowadays, people usually don’t hold banquets when moving house. They only invite relatives and friends to their homes to have a meal together.

Li Mingwu’s family has no relatives in the village, and they won’t invite anyone over in this countryside.

But for Zhang An’s family and Zhang’s party, Li Mingwu would definitely invite them.

So when I came here today, I first came to Zhang An’s house to buy the groceries.

“Okay, then we will go to Uncle Li’s place to enjoy the autumn breeze tomorrow.”

If someone comes to ask for this kind of thing, they cannot refuse unless there is something special. So Zhang An agreed without thinking.

Then Zhang An caught two native chickens for Li Mingwu, a goose, a duck and a fat rabbit, and also caught a few fish.

“Let’s go, chop some more vegetables for me, especially the little green vegetables you had last time. If there are still some, dig some more for me. It’s so delicious.”

After catching meat and vegetables, Li Mingwu was still thinking about the vegetables in Zhang An’s garden.

He especially likes small corianders that look the same as ginkgo leaves and are about the same size.

The last time he left, Zhang An gave them a basket. After they returned, they didn't waste a single vegetable leaf and ate them all.

"Well, Uncle Li, go to the vegetable field with me, and we can pick whatever we like."

Zhang An simply picked up the basket, picked up the kitchen knife and took Li Mingwu with him. Chopping vegetables in the vegetable patch.

"My brothers and sisters are doing needlework here. I thought you were not at home."

When they came to the backyard, Li Mingwu saw Wang Fang doing needlework in the backyard and embroidering pieces of cloth. He said hello.

"When his uncle came, there was no work in the fields, so I was thinking about making a few sets of small clothes to put away so that my grandson could wear them when he was born."

"That's true. It never hurts to prepare in advance. "When the baby is one month old, he will call us over for a drink."

When Su Ying found out she was pregnant, Li Mingwu was still in the village, so he naturally knew that Wang Fang was going to be a grandma.

"That's for sure. Anyway, his uncle and you will all live in the village from now on, so it will be very convenient to call him."

Whether it is Wang Fang or Zhang Jianguo, although it is said that under Li Mingwu's initiative, Next, they can be considered as people of the same generation.

But I am still twenty years behind, and the generation gap is still relatively large. Moreover, I am not very familiar with him, and I am not very comfortable talking to him.

So after just chatting for a few words, Li Mingwu followed Zhang An to chop vegetables in the vegetable field behind.
