Chapter 167
The immigrant village in Yuquanying used to be some uninhabited Gobi Desert. Although the terrain is flat, most of it is sandy and gravel, and there is no way to cultivate it.

Those who are willing to travel thousands of miles and leave their hometowns to immigrate to Diaozhuang, then none of them are lazy.

If he is really a lazy guy, how can he get so much land and build so many houses.

They are all peasants who face the loess and their backs to the sky, digging food in the fields. None of them are afraid of hardship or tiredness. What they are afraid of is that they will not be able to earn money, not be able to eat, and suffer from their parents and children.

Now that the land has been reorganized, the houses have been built, and there are places to work and earn money, the villagers have hope for life.

It's a pity that raising sheep and growing wolfberry are not as effective as Agaricus bisporus.

The sheep raising was fine, but within a few days, some villagers came to Wang Zhong one after another, wanting to buy lambs from him. Although the lambs were not expensive, if the quantity increased, the price would naturally increase.

Wang Zhong is not a person who can't accommodate. He signed a contract with the villagers who came to buy lambs. According to the bank interest rate, as long as the villagers pay a 30% deposit, the remaining money can be sold to Wang Zhong after the lambs are grown. Time to offset the corresponding arrears.

After Wang Zhong's measures were implemented, the villagers began to buy lambs from him one after another, dozens of lambs were added, and a dozen or twenty lambs were missing.

Of the more than 3000 sheep in Wang Zhong's farm, except for their appearance, the rest of the lambs were rounded up by the villagers. These were not enough, and Wang Zhong brought in thousands of lambs from outside.

Those families who grow mushrooms are mainly responsible for growing mushrooms, and raising sheep is just incidental, and there are not many of them. But for those families that do not grow mushrooms, many of them have their eyes on the business of raising sheep.

There are even many folks who raised cattle and sheep at home before they came to Yuquanying, and they are very good at serving these livestock.

After several years of treatment, although the original Gobi Desert has not yet turned into an endless grassland, it is much more green than before. As long as there is no excessive grazing and the animal husbandry is controlled within a reasonable range, it is beneficial to the ecology. indestructible.

Golden Beach Village.

Early in the morning, the family who bought the lambs in the village drove the flocks out to graze.

"Hey, Shuan Men, go herd the sheep!"

Li Dayou smiled and greeted Shuan Men who was driving the sheep out of the village.

"Brother Dayou, I see that there are quite a few people buying lambs in the village. Isn't my uncle resigning now? Why don't you get some lambs to pass the time for my uncle?"

"I want to raise it. I don't have time to take care of it. Both Shuiwang and I have to go to work. Shuiwang's mother can't take care of the mushroom shed by herself. It just so happens that my father can help her now."

"If you get another lamb back to raise, it won't be enough to serve you!"

Li Dayou is also very helpless, he also wants to get a flock of sheep back to raise them, but his own mushroom shed is relatively large, with a lot of Agaricus bisporus, Shuiwangma alone can't take care of it, especially now, entering again To the peak picking season.

Shuiwang's mother now walks around the mushroom shed every day, and the old man helps watering and picking mushrooms every day. Shuiwang follows Depot's work in the construction company, and is busy from morning to night every day. Li Da My own work at the kiln factory has gradually become busy. Every morning, I don’t even have time to help sell mushrooms. After breakfast, I have to go to the kiln factory by bicycle.

"Brother Dayou, why don't you quit your job at the kiln factory and stay at home with Shuiwang's mother to serve your family's Agaricus bisporus, it's better than getting up early every day and running to the kiln at night."

Shuan Bo is no longer working in the kiln factory. With the money he saved from working part-time in the past few years and selling mushrooms last year, he gritted his teeth,
After paying a deposit with Wang Zhong, he bought a hundred lambs, and suddenly became a big sheep raiser in the village.

Li Dayou pushed his bicycle out, while looking enviously at the one hundred lambs and one ewe that Shuan was driving, his eyes sparkled, full of envy.

"Shuan Men, Wang Zhong sells sheep this year, how much does he sell on average?" Li Dayou asked.

Shuan thought for a while and said, "It seems that there are more than 500 and 600. I don't know the average."

"Then if these one hundred of you are brought up, wouldn't it be worth 6 or [-] yuan?"

"It's not that simple!" Shuan Mian shook his head, and said helplessly, "You don't know if you don't raise it, but you only find out after raising it. There are problems everywhere."

"How come there are so many problems in raising sheep, isn't it just that they go out to graze every morning and come back in the afternoon!" Li Dayou didn't know, thinking it was the kind of livestock breeding in the past.

"My brother!" Shuan muffled, "That was in the past, when every household didn't raise many sheep, but now it's different, many people raise dozens of sheep, and when the number of sheep increases, Then there are many things to pay attention to, to prevent sheep from getting sick, to grow fast, and to pay attention to balanced nutrition!"

"Now every night, I have to go to Wang Zhong's farm, and listen to the teacher's class there!"

"Still going to class?" Li Dayou's eyes widened, and he looked at Shuan Mong with disbelief: "You are so old, you still have to go to class?"

"Isn't this learning how to raise sheep?" Shuan Meng approached Li Dayou and said, "Don't tell me, those masters who lectured are really good at it. I have only raised this lamb for more than a month. , the speed of growth can almost catch up with the ones raised for two months before."

Li Dayou looked at a group of lambs who were not small in size in front of him, and nodded in agreement: "It really grows very fast."

"If we continue to raise them like this, we will be able to go to the slaughterhouse in just one year!" Although raising sheep is hard work, Shuan Meng couldn't help being happy when he thought that this flock of sheep would be sold around this time next year.

······
Shui Hua was cooking in the house, and two boys, Ping An and Shun Shun, were sitting in the yard, one holding a book, carrying it with a wagging head.

"The heaven and the earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, the sun and the moon are full and flat, the days and nights are arranged, the cold comes and the summer goes, autumn harvests and winter hides..."

The voices of the two brothers were surprisingly consistent.

"Yo! Safe and smooth study!"

The courtyard door was pushed open, and Debao, who was wearing a gray suit, walked into the courtyard. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but shouted with a smile.

"Uncle Depot!"

The two brothers stopped to say hello to Depot at the same time.

"Where are your parents?" Debao walked over and asked.

"My mother is in the kitchen, and my father has gone to the city." Ping An is still not as tall as Ping Shun, but his intelligence is indeed more than twice that of Ping Shun. It is obvious that he was born less than half an hour earlier than Ping Shun, but he is mature in his life. On, just like being several years older than Pingshun.

"Depot is here!" Wearing an apron, Shuihua walked to the door of the kitchen with a lot of flour still stuck to her hands, and said with a smile, "I rolled out the noodles, don't rush away, stay and eat bowl noodles together! "

"Sister-in-law, where is my brother? When will you be back?" Debao asked with a smile.

"Going to the city." Shuihua said: "I left after breakfast in the morning, and didn't say when I'll be back. Let's not wait for him to eat. What's wrong, what do you want from him?"

Debao said: "It's nothing. Isn't the third phase of the project almost finished? I heard from my brother that Minning is about to build a town. There must be a lot of work. I wanted to ask Brother Wang Chong to see if he is a What attitude."

"Brother Wang Chong said this." Shui Hua said with a smile: "He said, now the construction company is up to you, you can make up your own mind if you have any ideas, if there is no money, lack of funds, we can help you solve it , but these decision-making things, you can decide for yourself.”

"However, if you want to take over the Minning Town project, Ping An's father also said that it is easy to take over the job, but he is afraid that it will be difficult to settle the bill. Now it is not as good as in the past few years. In the past few years, there was a poverty alleviation team from Fujian Province. , With their 500 million special funds for poverty alleviation supported every year for three consecutive years, as long as you do the work, you can get the money."

"Now that Minning has built a town, although there is a lot of work, you have to consider the issue of paying the bill."

Listening to Shuihua's words, Depot nodded thoughtfully,

"Brother Wang Chong's worry is also justified. Although our construction company's business is on the right track and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, if we get stuck in any project and can't get the money, we can't start other projects. If there is no work to start the project, if there is no work to start, the brothers will have no money to make, and no money to make, no matter how big our company is, the brothers who work under it will not buy it."

Shuihua looked at Debao with a smile: "No wonder your brother Wang Chong always said that you are smart and born to do this."

"Okay, don't think about it, if you want to do it, then continue to do it, just be careful. When you go back to the city, your brother Wang Zhong will not only do the Shanhai Farmer's business, but also go to Shanhai Construction for you. .”

Debao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he immediately became interested: "Sister-in-law, what good project do you have?"

But Shui Hua smiled mysteriously, and said, "Let's talk about this matter. When your brother Wang Chong comes back from the city, you can ask him yourself!"

"Sister-in-law, I don't want you to be so tempting." Debao's heart was itching, and he couldn't wait to know the purpose of Wang Zhong's trip to the city.

"I didn't ask in detail, where did I tell you to go, you can't make it up, just talk nonsense!" Shui Hua smiled beautifully.

"Sit down for a while, I'll cook the noodles!"

Debao was not polite to Shuihua either. He walked into the courtyard and looked at the two brothers who were shaking their heads and reciting the memorization, curious: "Ping An, Ping Shun, you two don't go to school, what are you memorizing?"

Debao attended school in Mr. Bai's class. He graduated from primary school, but in modern teaching, he doesn't learn "Thousand Characters" and "Hundred Surnames", which are ancient books.

""Thousand-Character Essay"!" Pingshun handed the book handwritten by Wang Zhong to Debao.

"Does that sound interesting?" Listening to where the two brothers recited it, it was really fluent.

"The heaven and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, the sun and the moon are full..."

"The sun and the moon are in full bloom!"

The two brothers immediately looked at Debao with some contempt, and Ping An approached Debao even more, and asked curiously, "Uncle Debao, you can't read, right?"

"Who doesn't know how to read." Depot immediately exploded. It would be fine if it was said by an adult, but Ping An is a four or five-year-old doll. It really hurts one's self-esteem to say these words from his mouth.

"Then read on!" Ping An folded his hands and looked up at Depot with confidence.

Debao was a little embarrassed, because he had a quick glance just now, and although he knew most of them, the few unfamiliar words that he didn't know were particularly eye-catching.

"You don't go to school, but you study this "Thousand Characters" at home?" Debao changed the topic.

The two brothers nodded, and said calmly: "There are also "Hundred Surnames!" and the table of ninety-nine multiplication formulas."

"Do you all know the characters on it?" Debao asked with some reluctance.

"I haven't recognized it yet." Ping An said.

"But it's too soon."

hiss!
Debao took a breath, and suddenly felt that his heart, which he thought was already strong, had become fragile at this moment.

Especially looking at the four or five-year-old twins in front of him, they have not even reached the age of preschool, and they have already started to learn the thousand-character script and the hundred surnames that even he has never learned.

People are more popular than dead people!
"Father said, after memorizing the thousand-character text, he will buy us footballs, and after memorizing the hundreds of surnames and the nine-nine multiplication table, he will buy us bicycles."

After finishing speaking, he said to Pingan next to him with a bitter face: "Brother, this thousand-character essay is so hard to memorize! When will Dad buy us footballs!"

"Brother! Why don't you worry, take your time!" Ping An patted his younger brother on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Brother, why are you memorizing so fast?" Ping Shun really couldn't figure it out. He was taller and stronger than his brother, and he even ate more than his brother, but how could he not memorize as well as his brother.

"Because I'm smart!" Ping An said confidently.

Debao next to him suddenly felt that he was a little redundant, and that he shouldn't have interrupted the two brothers just now.

"All right, all right, hurry up and memorize it, let your father buy you footballs and bicycles quickly after memorizing it." Debao hurriedly put the book back into Ping Shun's hands.

"Uncle Debao, my father said, it's not shameful not to know, and it's shameful to pretend that you don't know!" Although Ping An is precocious, he is a four or five-year-old child, and he can understand a lot of truths.

With just one sentence, Debao said that he wished he could find a crack in the ground and hide in it.

"The noodles are ready, let's eat the noodles!"

Suddenly, there was the sound of water splashing in the kitchen, and the eyes of the two little guys lit up immediately, their eyes were straightened, and they ran into the house in a panic, put away the books, and then ran back to the courtyard. Sitting side by side by the table, they looked very cute.

Shui Hua came out carrying a basin of cold water noodles and four sets of bowls and chopsticks.

"Depot, sit down quickly, and I can eat the mutton toppings when I bring them out."

"Sister Shuihua, where's my uncle? Why don't you see him?" Debao just remembered that he didn't see Li Laoshuan.

"It's on the farm!"

"Recently, I have been soaking at the farm. I eat lunch with Professor Ling and the others in the cafeteria there every day, and I come back at night."

Recently, Shuihua is not busy and has time to take care of the children. Li Laoshuan always runs to the farm when he has nothing to do.

While talking, Shuihua entered the kitchen again, and came out with a small bowl of mutton, a small bowl of spicy oil, and a bowl of chopped green onions.

"Duplo clamp it yourself!"

"Sister Shuihua, why are you being polite with me? I usually treat your house as my own." By the time Shuihua went to serve the dumplings, Depot had already picked up a bowl of denominations for the two brothers.

Shuihua gave two spoonfuls of mutton, a spoonful of mutton soup, a small spoonful of spicy oil, and a handful of chopped green onions in the bowls of the two brothers.

"Stick up and eat, there are still a few pieces of dough left after rolling out, so I can cook it again!" Shui Hua said with a smile.

Debao poured two spoonfuls of mutton, two spoonfuls of mutton soup, added spicy oil and a little green onion, and the smile on his face became brighter: "The mutton made by my sister-in-law is really delicious."

"Eat more if it smells good."

"Wait, I'll get two heads of garlic!" Shui Hua walked under the eaves, took two heads of garlic and placed them on the table.

Depot likes to eat garlic. Every time he eats noodles or meat, he has to eat garlic.

"This noodle is also delicious! It's as delicious as my mother's roll!"

Seeing Debao's smiling face, Shuihua smiled lightly, "Which one is better than the noodles rolled by Mai Miao?"

Debao froze when he ate the noodles, and quickly put the noodles into his mouth, and quickly ate a clove of garlic, before saying, "It tastes different, but it tastes the same."

"You!" Shuihua shook her head, rolled her eyes at Debao, and said, "You are in your twenties, and Mai Miao is not too young, so you haven't thought about the future of the two of you?"

Debao's old face blushed when asked, he was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but speed up the movement of eating noodles.

Seeing that Debao didn't speak, Shuihua continued: "Debao, our women's youth is only a few years. Although career is important, life-long events are equally important. I watched you and Mai Miao grow up. The love between you I also know about feelings, if you really like Mai Miao, you should ask your father to go to Teacher Bai to propose marriage, marry Mai Miao earlier, and give Mai Miao an explanation for yourself."

Although Debao blushed and was embarrassed, he also knew that Shuihua was doing it for his own good, "Sister-in-law, I definitely want to marry Mai Miao, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Shuihua said bitterly: "I know Mai Miao's thoughts best. She likes you. Otherwise, why would she let go of the gay man introduced by her Uncle Song in the county? The one who ran to Yuquan camp with all his strength, didn't he come to look for you! The wheat seedlings are not afraid, so why are you afraid?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid that the wheat seedlings will suffer hardships with me!" Debao sighed, and said with some regret: "In the past few years, my father and I have been busy from morning to night every day, so we just want to earn more money. Live a prosperous life, lest Mai Miao marry me in the future and suffer hardships with me."

Shuihua shook her head, feeling distressed and emotional at the same time, pointing to Debao and said: "You, you just think too much."

"We women are not afraid of suffering. As long as you men are self-motivated and willing to work hard, we women will feel happy even if we suffer together."

"Mai Miao is not a woman who is afraid of suffering!"

"These two live a prosperous life as long as they work together."

"Besides, you are now the general manager of a construction company, with a salary of 3000 yuan a month, and you still have shares in the company. If Mai Miao marries you, what kind of life is it if it's not a good life?"

As he was talking, Shuihua's face changed, and his tone changed accordingly. He looked at Debao questioningly and asked, "Or do you have someone else in your heart?"

"No!" Debao's complexion changed suddenly, and he immediately shook his head: "I have only one Mai Miao in my heart from the beginning to the end."

"That's it!" Shui Hua said: "Since the two of you are in love, let your father go to Teacher Bai to propose marriage as soon as possible, and take care of the matter."
