Chapter 13 The Uninvited Guest

The old man's name is Huang Chaoqiang, and he came to find Su Qinghe.

According to the old lady's introduction, the old man is her cousin's husband, and Su Qinghe should call him uncle after they got married.Finally, I mentioned that the old man used to be the chief official of Nanling Town.

Looking at the cigarette butts floating in the disposable paper cup on the coffee table, Su Qinghe frowned, and was slightly relieved when he saw that Bai Zhi and the little guy were not in the hall.

Huang Chaoqiang's attention was always on Su Qinghe, and he naturally noticed the change in Su Qinghe's expression, smiled a little embarrassedly, and proposed to take a walk outside.

Su Qinghe naturally agreed.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, Huang Chaoqiang took out his cigarettes, took out two and handed them to Su Qinghe.Seeing that Su Qinghe refused, he stuffed one into his mouth, and put the other one back into the box.

"I've been smoking for a lifetime, and I'm addicted to it." Huang Chaoqiang lit the cigarette, took a puff, "Go to the old well?"

Sure enough, he came for the greenhouse, but thinking about it, he didn't come sooner or later, but he came on the day when the greenhouse was completed.

The construction team has left, and Shuangtang Village has returned to calm.

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was setting, and a sliver of the setting sun hit the fish pond.The smoke from cooking in the village is curling up, and a few ducks from someone's family are swimming in the fish pond.

Huang Chaoqiang looked at it and said with emotion: "I don't know if we can see such a scene decades later.

In the past, I always told the children to study hard, and tried every means to send the children out, so they don’t have to be like us, facing the loess and the sky for the rest of their lives.

It's all right now, the children have all gone out and settled down outside, but I think about them coming back. "

Su Qinghe didn't speak, just listened quietly.

Huang Chaoqiang went on to say: "Now the standard of living has risen, and every building has a car. Look, how beautifully built these buildings are! It's just a pity that such a good house is empty. unoccupied."

The land is not planted, and the house is empty.

This phenomenon is becoming more and more common in rural areas. There is no way. The living standard has improved, but the consumption level has also increased.Farming alone cannot sustain the expenses of a family.

People live, not only to solve food and clothing, children go to school, the elderly see a doctor... which one does not need money?

Arriving at the old well site, looking at the magnificent greenhouse in front of him, Huang Chaoqiang stared blankly for a while, "I have visited it several times, and every time I see it, I feel magnificent. I heard that you want to grow strawberries in the greenhouse?"

Su Qinghe nodded, "This is the current decision, but there may be some other fruits and vegetables."

"I have asked someone in the past few days. The prospect of the strawberry industry is very good." Huang Chaoqiang took out another cigarette and lit it. After investigation, do you think Nanling Town is suitable for large-scale strawberry cultivation?"

Su Qinghe was dumbfounded, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, you are wrong. I planted strawberries on a whim. One is that my mother-in-law thinks that I will be useless if I don't do anything at home. The other is that my wife likes to eat strawberries. .”

Huang Chaoqiang was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Su Qinghe whose expression did not look like a fake, Fox questioned: "Really?"

"There's no such thing as a lie. In fact, from making a decision to renting land and building a shed, I haven't considered other issues. I use my own money, and I don't have to be responsible to anyone if I lose money. It's just for everyone to talk about after dinner." Su Qinghe said.

"Haven't you ever thought about the problem of sales?"

Su Qinghe took a serious look at Huang Chaoqiang, "Uncle, if you are entrusted by someone, you might as well ask him to talk to me directly."

Huang Chaoqiang resentfully said, "It is true that someone asked me to test your words, but you have to believe that I want Nanling Town to develop better than anyone else!"

Speaking of the latter sentence, his tone was serious and sincere.

Su Qinghe had no choice but to believe that the old man in front of him had brought Nanling Town to a height that no one could come to, during his tenure - he had been rated as one of the top ten towns in terms of comprehensive strength in the city and countryside for nine consecutive years.

He was born in Nanling and grew up in Nanling. He is like the mountains in Nanling, silently looking at Nanling, which is gradually falling behind.

The night is approaching, and the back of Huang Chaoqiang Xiao Suo can be seen vaguely.

Su Qinghe took a deep breath. He has accumulated a lot of assets and contacts over the years, and even after returning to his hometown, he was bound to a system for no reason.

But he is not a god after all, Nanling is still the mountain town surrounded by mountains.

It is indeed a good direction to plant crops with high economic benefits on a large scale.At least the land will not be allowed to be abandoned because of low economic benefits as it is now.

But limited by geographical location, sales are the biggest problem.

After dinner, Su Qinghe sat on the porch to enjoy the shade again.

Su Xiaoting sat beside her, resting her chin on her hands, staring blankly at the night sky.

Su Qinghe asked: "Tingting, what's wrong with you, are you unhappy?"

Su Xiaoting sighed, "My friends are leaving again!"

The moment of loneliness after the excitement was overwhelming, just watching Su Xiaoting sigh, Su Qinghe felt both distressed and funny.

He got up and went into the house, took out the little guy who had just washed his hands and face, and put him on the ground, "Hey, go play with my sister, okay?"

"Sister~"

With her unsteady steps, the little guy plunged into Su Xiaoting's arms.

After a while, the two children were happily playing the game of recognizing facial features.

"Sister, what is this?" Su Xiaoting pointed to her nose, "Nose~"

The little guy stretched out his hand to grab it, and Su Xiaoting was in pain, "Sister, don't grab it too hard!"

Then grabbed the little guy's hand and put it on the little guy's nose, "You have a nose too, you touch your own."

The little guy was really cruel to himself, he patted his nose with his little hand, froze for a while, and grinned again.

"Nose~"

Then turned to look at Su Qinghe, "Dad, nose~"

"Ah, yes, yes, nose! Dad has a nose too~" Su Qinghe pointed to his own nose.

Bai Zhi came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes. When the little guy saw it, he yelled at Bai Zhi: "Mom, nose~"

Bai Zhi pinched her nose and said in a low voice, "Oh, my mother doesn't have a nose!"

"Yes~" The little guy was in a hurry, and ran to hug his mother's feet again, "Nose~"

"Okay okay, mom has a nose~" Bai Zhi bent over and scratched the little guy's nose, "We all have noses~"

The little guy pointed to the room, "Zu~"

"Hey, you're so smart, my mother-in-law also has a nose~" Bai Zhi glanced into the room, "Hey, where's your mother-in-law?"

"While taking a shower, I just wet my clothes when I washed my hands obediently."

Hearing Su Qinghe's answer, Bai Zhi bent down and shaved the little guy's face, "Did you get your grandma's clothes wet by being so naughty?"

"Water~" The little guy rolled his eyes, and then crawled to find Su Xiaoting, "Sister~fish~"

The Bodhisattva fish that Su Xiaoting caught before was raised in a low tank at home. During this time, Su Xiaoting went to catch a few more from time to time.

Now there are more than a dozen Bodhisattva fish in the short tank, and the little ones often like to play there.

Su Xiaoting hesitated, and secretly glanced at Su Qinghe.

"Take your sister, don't be optimistic about your sister!"

Even in the courtyard, Su Qinghe can see it and is not afraid.

Bai Zhi also sat down, "The shed is set up, and there are still a few months before strawberry planting, why don't you plant something first?"
