Chapter 632: Planting vegetables in spring
It was still relatively early when I came back after picking up my mother, not even ten o'clock.
As soon as the wedding car entered the village, the women in the village came together to hug the bride and get out of the car.
After going through the process in the main room, everyone can’t wait to send the bride to the new house.
Especially the group of naughty children in the village, no matter how old they are, they all follow the bride every step of the way.
Because now comes their favorite part, asking the bride for a wedding scarf.
Every child who could walk rushed over without missing a beat. Even Zhang An's little Siqi was following closely behind his Aunt Yanzi as he squeezed into the new house.
"Dad, flower handkerchief, flower handkerchief."
After half the payment, the little guy finally came out of the new house. When he saw Zhang An, he quickly waved the flower handkerchief he had just asked for from the bride. Come HiPa.
The plump little face looked happy, and it felt like picking up money.
It's not just him, it's the same for other children, big and small.
“Not bad, not bad, put it in your purse quickly so that it won’t be taken away later.”
This flower handkerchief was prepared by Bai Xue in advance and brought from her parents’ home. The pattern looks good. It looks pretty good.
It is not the old-fashioned pattern that everyone wanted to buy before, so the naughty children who came here liked it very much.
In addition to the children, some women in the village also went to get a piece, which was considered very happy.
Not long after, the loudspeaker in the village began to shout, asking everyone to hurry up and take a seat and prepare to eat.
In fact, this big speaker has never been used at banquets in the past.
But when Zhang An got married last time, because most of the village people came, there were quite a lot of people. When it was time to eat, everyone would know it with this loudspeaker.
From that time on, whenever anyone in the village held a banquet, whether it was a wedding or a wedding, the loudspeaker became an important role that could not be absent.
As for Zhang Ping's wedding this time, everyone from the village chief Zhang Jianwen came, and the loudspeaker was indispensable.
After all, when it speaks, it can be heard clearly in the upper village and lower in the village.
"Let's go have a drink."
As soon as they heard the loudspeaker sounding, the naughty children who were surrounding the door of the new house just now ran away and went outside. Went to sit at the table.
Even little Siqi also waved the flag and shouted, but he is short and has short legs, so he can't keep up with the others when running.
"Wait for me, wait for me, there is still me."
In a short time, he broke away from the large army and shouted anxiously in the yard.
After Li Yao, who was running in front, heard this, he quickly ran back and carried him on his back.
Zhang An didn't call him either. Anyway, Yan Zi and Li Yao were here, so he was happy and at ease.
And seeing the little guy integrating with other children so quickly, the whole family thinks it is a good thing.
If you can’t get along with other children and don’t like to play with others, that’s a very bad sign.
Then Su Ying and others accompanied the bride, Bai Xue, while Zhang An went out to accompany the group of people from the Forestry Bureau.
Not to mention, although Zhang Ping is just a small ranger, Bai Xue knows a lot of people in the Forestry Bureau. Today, he came here specially and sat at two tables, including his head. The boss Zhu Yuliang is here.
As for Zhang An, he definitely had to accompany Zhu Yuliang at the table. Although he didn't think it was necessary, this was a task given to him by Zhang Jianwen himself.
"Zhang An, you guy, if I didn't call you, you wouldn't go to the work."
During the dinner, while waiting for the food to be served, Zhu Yuliang began to complain. .
Hearing what Zhu Yuliang said, Zhang An remembered that he had indeed not been to the Forestry Bureau for a long time, and he couldn't even remember the last time he went.
"Hey, it's nothing, so I'm too lazy to run around on the road. It's not like you don't know how much gas I consume just running back and forth."
But he also It doesn't matter, he has always been like this anyway. If the distance was closer, it would be about the same. It would take three or four hours to go back and forth. A normal person would just run to the city if he had nothing to do.
"To be honest, I really envy Zhang An. His life is more leisurely than the retired old man in our family."
The person who said this is Zhuang Shuying, who works in forestry Bureau, she has the best relationship with Bai Xue, so she came here today.
"What is there to envy or not? Everyone has his or her own life. Besides, there are not many people who envy you."
Zhang An shook his head and smiled. Zhuang Shuying and the others, as civil servants holding an iron rice bowl, , whether now or in the future, he is the envy of most people.
This can be seen from the saying in later generations that the end of the universe is the exam.
While everyone was chatting happily, the cold dishes had already started to come out.
"Grandpa Xiao An, bring the dishes, bring the dishes."
A young man of fifteen or sixteen years old came over with a full plate of dishes and shouted to Zhang An.
"Okay, okay, you are going to have a hard day today."
Zhang An smiled and greeted him, and at the same time took away the dishes from his table.
There are quite a lot of people in charge of serving food today. Basically, all the young people in the village who are fifteen or sixteen to twenty years old have been recruited by Huang Ming.
After all, Zhang Ping’s family had a hundred and twenty tables set up today, and they were all full on the road from the grain drying field to the village.
If we don't recruit more people for this battle, then by the time others are full, the food may not be finished yet.
"Hey, didn't you see it? Zhang An, you are only in your twenties and you are already a grandfather."
At this moment, everyone in the Forestry Bureau looked at it with incredulous expressions. The same is true for Zhang An and Zhu Yuliang.
"Yes, we are a few years older than you, but in the end we are still someone else's grandson, and you have a grandson."
Especially those who are slightly older than Zhang An, I feel very unhappy.
"Hey, what's the matter? Our family is relatively big, and my family is not prosperous, so we have higher seniority. This is not a good thing."
Looking at everyone Zhang An explained it again helplessly as he had never seen the world before.
From before to now, in this matter, he has explained how much he ate.
"Is Zhang Ping the same family as you?"
Suddenly, Zhuang Shuying asked.
"Yes, although we are not from the same team, he and I are from the same team that has not yet released the fifth server. What's wrong?"
Zhang An nodded and said without knowing why.
"In other words, Zhang Ping and you are of the same generation. Doesn't that mean that girl Xiaoxue became a grandmother as soon as she got married?"
Zhuang Shuying really didn't expect that someone else got married. It might be to be a young mistress, but this girl Bai Xue became a grandma directly, eliminating the intermediate process.
"Haha, Sister Zhuang, you are so envious. I seem to have a brother. How about introducing me to you?" Zhang An and Zhuang Shuying have known each other for several years. They are very familiar with each other, and some jokes are not easy to make. What to worry about.
“Go, go, be careful of your brother-in-law coming to trouble you, it would have been much better if it had been a few years earlier.”
After hearing this, Zhuang Shuying was very charming. He glanced at Zhang An.
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. Let's start. Don't be polite, otherwise the table will not be able to fit when other dishes are brought over later."
After that, all the cold dishes were finished. After it was served, it was immediately the turn of the hot dishes. Zhang An filled a circle of wine for everyone, and then asked everyone to use their chopsticks. This was his first task today.
"Yes, yes, everyone, let's do it. We came all the way here today. It will be a loss if we don't get back our money."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuliang also said.
Don't think about it, the others must be waiting for him to make the first move. After all, he is the immediate boss of this table.
Seeing Zhu Yuliang speak, everyone stopped holding it.
“Well, these cold dishes taste really good. They are not cold at all. It’s not like other places I went to before, where the cold dishes were completely untouched.”
Although the table Only a few cold dishes were served, but they were all well received by everyone.
"Hey, the master chef in charge of the kitchen today has been specially trained, and his craftsmanship is not bad at all. Lao Zhu knows this."
Seeing that everyone likes it, Zhang An He directly boasted about Zhang Jianzhong and Zhou Yang to them.
"Oh? Is the young man who opened the restaurant in your village responsible for such a big banquet?"
Hearing what Zhang An said, Zhu Yuliang immediately thought of Zhou Yang, because at that time When they came to inspect the giant salamander, they dealt with it at Zhou Yang's house.
"Yes, that's him. Even though he is young, his skills are real. Today, he and an uncle are in charge of the kitchen. In the nearby village, there are people who want to hold banquets, and they often come to see them."< br>
Zhang An nodded and brought two more hot dishes to the table.
“You really need to try it. This big pot rice is the most technical test. Everyone should eat more, otherwise you will have to spend money to eat it next time.”
Zhu Yuliang was afraid that everyone would not let go, so he added again.
After finishing the main dinner, Zhu Yuliang and his party rested for a while at Zhang An's house, then said hello to the two newcomers and hurried back to the city.
But Zhang An and others in the village still have a lot to do, and they have to be responsible for the finishing work in the afternoon, trying not to leave any work for the host's family.
At night, because everyone knew about Zhang Ping's temper, it was rare that a group of young people in the village did not come to have a wedding ceremony.
In this way, until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is over, the end of the New Year is completely over, and everyone's life has returned to the normal track.
Beside the river, Chen Ze's hotel project is in progress in an orderly manner.
Li Hongbin’s company is indeed professional. He only worked for a short time before the year. In addition, in the past few days after the new year, the foundation has been laid and the preparation work has been completed.
Next, everyone will drive up to the level of the tall buildings.
The village is not idle either. The construction of several mountain roads that had started years ago is now being led by Zhang An and his second uncle to start construction again, striving to finish them as soon as possible.
In addition, there is a new project in Changqing Village this year, which is the development of Zizhu Forest.
On the second day after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, several leaders from Hongyan Town came down with a large group of people to inspect, and the process began within a few days.
It seems that director Lin Hui has already reached an agreement with the town last time, otherwise the town would never take action so quickly.
But this is undoubtedly a great thing for Changqing Village.
Because whether it is money or effort, it is Hongyan Town who is responsible, but the place that can finally enjoy the fruits of the development of Zizhu Forest is definitely Changqing Village.
Now a road has been rebuilt from the village, and some infrastructure has been built outside the Zizhu Forest.
This will definitely become one of the few interesting places in Changqing.
In the morning, Zhang An got up and found that his parents were already working in the vegetable field with hoes, so he washed up and joined in with a hoe.
Before the Chinese New Year, Zhang An's vegetable plot was full of vegetables.
But once the half month of the Chinese New Year has passed, there are not many vegetables left in this vegetable field that originally looked green.
The main reason is that there are too many tenants staying in Dongli Courtyard to celebrate the New Year this year, and there are too many people coming to buy vegetables.
In addition, Zhang Ping got married a few days ago and provided a lot of vegetables, so most of the vegetable field was empty.
Wang Fang usually attaches great importance to the vegetable plot at home and could not bear to see such a situation, so she put this matter on the agenda right after the New Year.
Zhang An and his parents spent the whole morning shoveling grass in the vegetable field.
He usually uses space spring water to water vegetables, so the vegetables they grow have always grown very well.
But at the same time, the weeds in the ground also got a blessing in disguise, getting the space spring water, so they grew very vigorously.
This morning, Zhang An cut several pieces and sent them to the sheepfold.
After weeding, we need to start digging and loosening the soil. Because there are other vegetables growing in the ground, we can’t directly lead the horses in to plow, so we can only dig with hoe after hoe.
However, this kind of hard work is not difficult for Zhang An.
In addition, in early spring in February, the spring breeze is still a bit chilly, and the temperature is only ten degrees Celsius, so digging in the ground is not a blessing, and it is much better than hot weather.
"Mom, what else need to be planted this time."
Zhang An came back from digging a ridge of land and asked his mother.
“For the time being, we will plant some glutinous rice balls, cucumbers, eggplants and stick beans. When the temperature gets warmer in a few days, we will start planting peppers and cabbages.”
The vegetable plot at home is very large. , even though there are still a lot of vegetables in the ground, the free space can already be used by Wang Fang to plant whatever he wants.
"Is it a little too early to start planting corn in the past few days? If spring is cold, it won't grow at all."
Zhang Jianguo on the other side is a little worried, because these things, Planting is usually done around the Qingming Festival.
“Dad, it’s not a very cold place here. Even if it’s cold in spring, it can be below ten degrees at most. I don’t think you need to worry. If you plant it in advance, you can eat it in advance.”
< br>Zhang An smiled and told his father that he was not worried about this problem at all.
The local climate, unless the weather is extreme, will not be too cold even in late spring.
And when the seeds are planted, he will definitely come to water the space spring water. Even if extreme weather occurs, the seeds that have been stimulated will not be affected.
"Grandma, I'm here to help you."
While speaking, Xiao Siqi ran towards the field carrying Zhang An's small medicine hoe.
Not to mention, the little medicine hoe over there is quite suitable for a little person like him.
"Okay, okay, our family will come together to help dig the ground, and grandma will grow delicious things for you."
Wang Fang is not afraid that her grandson will be tired. After all, in the village, he is rustic. Only children can grow up healthily.
