Chapter 353 353. Fairy and Village Cadre
This sigh echoed in Zhu Yuntao's heart, but his hand couldn't help but touch the cigarette.
When the lighter lit with a "pop" sound and the flames jumped, he suddenly froze.
Zhu Yuntao took the cigarette out of his mouth before lighting it, looked at it carefully, and asked again: "Dad, where did you get this?"
Lao Zhu was wary. Look at him: "What do you care? If I give it to you, smoke it. If you don't give it to me, don't ask for it!"
Zhu Yuntao: ...
People say that the fragrance is far away and the smell is near. Why does his father feel that his son is worthless since he entered the nursing home?
He didn’t even say he wanted this cigarette!
There’s not even a logo on it, it’s rolled in white paper, and it looks like it was rubbed by someone at home - wait a minute!
He reacted, and now he looked at the cigarette carefully again, and said in disbelief: "Dad, this is not a cigarette you rolled yourself, right?"
Lao Zhu endured it again and again, but in the end he couldn't resist the upturned corners of his mouth: "How is it? The level is not bad."
It's not him who blows. In order to be worthy of this cut of tobacco, he practiced a lot in private. Reply - Look at this cigarette. It’s not loose or tight, and the seams are neat. Except for the paper on the filter tip, which is not colored, it’s no different from the ones you usually smoke. It’s his old wish!
However, Zhu Yuntao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Dad, what are you doing? There are so many cigarettes at home, you can smoke them as you like, it's really not like this."
Old Zhu was stunned for a while, okay It took him a long time to react.
This son has lost his brain as he gets older, and his own father doesn’t even understand him! Does he seem like the kind of person who would compromise?
Thinking of this, the five cigarettes he just pushed past were a bit reluctant: "If you don't smoke, give them back to me."
Zhu Yuntao's heart tightened, and when he saw his father squinting his eyes, he looked very much like when he was a child. As he untied his belt, he seemed to be very smart at this moment, and lit up the cigarette again with a "pop" sound.
Putting the simple cigarette into his mouth, and taking a deep breath, it seemed as if there was an indescribable heat rising straight to the sky, causing all the messy emotions in his mind to disperse.
For a while, he sat there in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Then he looked at the cigarette in his hand with a complicated expression: "Dad, no wonder you only smoke 10 cigarettes a day."
With this smoke, nothing else matters.
And he usually smokes other cigarettes, one puff after another, and he won’t stop until he finishes smoking.
But now after taking a puff of this cigarette, my heart seems to have calmed down, and I have no other desires anymore.
He tentatively put out the cigarette in the ashtray, sat there and tasted it, but he didn't feel any different.
“Is this cut tobacco?” He looked at it: “Is there any material added in it that can help quit smoking?”
There are many tools for quitting smoking on the market, such as some drugs such as varenicline tartrate, but they are expensive and come with unbearable side effects for many people, so most people don’t know much about them.
But there is no discomfort in smoking it, not to mention that what is delivered must be guaranteed. The accompanying doctor here can’t wait to come to the door every day...
He is interested, old man But Zhu was wary: "Why do you think so much? If I give it to you, smoke it. If you don't want to smoke it, just give it back to me."
He has now experienced repeated squeezes from several old men, which can be called a Everyone is here to grab something, including his own son.
Zhu Yuntao was really speechless.
But he was just disliked by Lao Zhu, and he was not a brainless person in essence. He only thought for a moment and laughed: "Is this Xiaojun got it back for you?"
This is not difficult. Guess, although he hasn't had time to taste the things the child sent back, he can basically guess where the things came from by thinking about what his father said when he entered the door. After all, it is normal for good mountains and good water to produce many good things.
What's more, his dad is in the mountains, and there is no way to get in touch with him except for things given by close people.
Who would sell tobacco of this quality to him privately?
Lao Zhu became proud: "How is it? You are an incompetent father. At the critical moment, my granddaughter still has her grandfather in her heart!"
"But you are not allowed to go to her just because you think something is good. My granddaughter I’m working hard in the village! I don’t know how much work I have to do and how many disputes I have to resolve...”
Zhu Yuntao couldn’t laugh or cry: It’s really not the case!
What's more, his need for cigarettes is not as big as his father's.
After saying this, he stretched his hand to one side and put all the remaining four and a half cigarettes into his bag.
...
At this time, Zhu Jun, who was going up the mountain and down to the ground, was indeed sweating profusely and very embarrassed.
She and Song Tan were squatting on the edge of the watermelon field. The two of them grabbed a melon from the melon vine on the side. Song Tan smashed it in half with a fist.
Now, one person is holding half of the melon, squatting there with his face full of juice. One of them does not look like a fairy, and the other does not look like a village cadre, but the conversation is still interesting -
While Zhu Jun was eating the melon, he asked her: "This melon tastes so good. Should we expand it next year?"
"It depends on the situation."
Song Tan always stays true to his original intention - making money is second, and the most important thing is to arrange for everything he wants to eat.
So the yield is not important, the important thing is the variety.
Zhu Jun was not discouraged, he just looked at the peach forest where everyone was laughing: "You won't be able to plant watermelons here next year, right?"
"I see. The peach trees are growing too fast this year and will enter the fruiting season next year. The branches and leaves will become dense and there will be no sunlight at all.”
This is true. If you want to plant watermelons next year, you really need to find a special place.
Song Tan thought about the money he could earn this year, and then said politely: "You can help me look after the mountains here, and I will give you a fair price when the time comes. After July, I The money owed to the village can be paid off in one fell swoop. "
The house will be built in July, the balance will be paid, the rice fields will be harvested, and the peaches will be on the market... there are plenty of places to make money.
Actually, we already have that money, but there are quite a lot of things going on at the moment, so Song Tan will stay and reserve it for the time being.
"Okay." Party Secretary Xiao Zhu is the one in the village who is most looking forward to the expansion of their family: "But if you have extra money on hand, I suggest you discuss an agreement with the village in advance - you The fruits on the mountain are growing so well, and the price will probably not be low by then.”
Prices have increased and incomes have increased. Although everyone knows that their products are of good quality, everyone has a sense of luck - being next to the mountain of Song Tan's house, with similar water, soil and light, even if the taste is not the same as others, just a little bit of light will do. Not even close, right?
You can definitely make money.
When the time comes, it is inevitable that some people will want to take down the mountain next to it.
You must know that although there are few young people in the village, it does not mean that they have no family background. To be honest, the cost of contracting barren mountains is not much. For those doing business, it is just a drop in the bucket.
I almost can’t write tonight! Grit your teeth and persevere
