Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 224 Relatives meeting, showing off at first glance
"Second aunt, you can't say this. One moment and another, the family was used to living in poverty. Isn't there nothing we can do about it?
Times are different now.

We can't keep saying that we only want to live a hard life.

Who wants to live a hard life if they can live a better life.

Besides, you can’t just let Lili live a hard life when your generation is living a hard life, isn’t that right? "

Mother-in-law smiled.

"Mingwa, whether your life is hard or not depends on what people say.

What do you mean by suffering, and what do you mean by not suffering?
There are people who can't even finish the white flour steamed buns at home, and there are so many grains in the granaries that they can overflow. Are they living a good life?
not always.

Isn’t it annoying that your family members are not getting along with each other?

Although some people have nothing to eat at home, the relationship between the couple is good and the children are obedient, so they can still live a good life.

You, you'd better live a good life with your wife. Don't just think about making money all day long. How much money you make counts.

If my wife and children are gone, what's the use of taking so much money by myself?I've told your mother several times, didn't she tell you? "

"Oh, second aunt, why did you involve me again? I'm fine."

"How are you doing? I don't know if you are okay or not?
The last time your mother came to see me, she told me everything.

Let me tell you, your aunt watched you grow up. You were not like this when you were a child.

Even if you become rich in the future, you must remember what your aunt told you: never put money first.

It's about putting your loved ones, family and children first.

When the atmosphere at home is good, you will be energetic in everything you do.

If you go home all day long and feel cold, without even a considerate person, then what's the point of living your life?

Do you understand? "

Zhao Mingwa didn't expect that she was talking about someone else, but in a blink of an eye the flames of war would be drawn to herself, but she still couldn't refute.

He has some money and is much more arrogant than before, but he has no temper in front of his second aunt.

When he was a child, his mother was not in good health, so she often lived with her second aunt for several months at a time.

Among his relatives, his closest relative is his second aunt. Otherwise, he would not let his money go unearned, so he would take time out to wish his second aunt her birthday. He is very busy on weekdays, and if he does not make money for a while, he will feel that he has lost a lot.

Right now, his second aunt was talking about him in front of everyone, and he could only endure it.I wouldn't be able to refute this on a normal day, let alone on the occasion of my second aunt's birthday.If he made his second aunt unhappy, that would be a really heinous crime. His mother must not scold him to death when he gets back.

"I understand, I understand, second aunt, don't worry, I will pay attention to this aspect in the future."

"That's right, and the same goes for the rest of you. You all came to celebrate my birthday today, and I know that you are all filial.

However, these are all false things. I still hope that your life will go smoothly and that no one will have conflicts. I will be happy.

Your parents are getting older and can't worry so much about you. After all, you have to live your life well by yourself.

This life, he is not trying his luck.If you live a good life, he can live a good life. If you always think about taking shortcuts or using crooked ways, your life will get worse and worse, and in the end you will really not be able to live it anymore. "

Yue Yuyu took the opportunity to educate other juniors.

Li Muyang listened to his nephew and aunt talking, but he didn't dare to interrupt at all.

Everyone else present was familiar with each other, he was the only outsider.

Just sit silently and obey.

If someone asked him something, he would just say it. If they didn't ask, he would try not to interrupt.

Even though these people were all relatives, he still couldn't figure out the relationship between them.

Too many words will be lost.

"Mu Yang, is your family a supporter?"

Someone asked again. Li Muyang took a look and recalled the previous introduction. He knew that this was a cousin of his mother-in-law, so he should be called his cousin.

"Yes, we are dependents, cousin."

"As the saying goes, if you rely on the mountains, you will eat the mountains; if you rely on the sea, you will eat the sea. If you rely on the mountains, what good things are there in the mountains near you?"

"Oh, our mountains are relatively short. Unlike the mountains in Ziwuling, which are rich in resources. There are only peach trees planted by some people in our mountains. They were originally barren hills. Later, the government organized and planted them to prevent soil erosion."

"Peach trees, don't we usually plant pine trees due to soil erosion? Why plant peach trees?"

"I can't tell you exactly. Anyway, the government arranged what to plant at that time. We just planted whatever we planted, and we planted it for several years. In recent years, the peach trees have all grown up."

In fact, Li Muyang knew why he planted peach trees instead of pine trees.

Mainly because of a few reasons.

First of all, because trees were stolen so much at this time, pine was a very expensive wood in this era, at least several times more expensive than other common woods.

For example, a section of poplar wood with a diameter of ten centimeters and a length of three meters will probably cost only a few yuan, but a pine tree can be sold for ten or twenty dollars.

If they were all planted into pine trees, they would be cut down frequently by people, and nothing would be left in the end.

Another reason is that pine trees grow too slowly and cannot have much effect in a short period of time.

The third reason is that the root system of pine trees is not particularly developed.

Trees required for soil erosion must have strong root system development capabilities so that they can hold the soil that may be lost.

But there is no need for him to say these things on this occasion. It means nothing, and everyone will be confused and indifferent.

After all, Li Muyang had been there before and knew that in such situations, he should try his best to say something that everyone could interrupt.

Otherwise, you will be the only one talking in the end, and everyone will be listening, and the atmosphere will cool down. No one is willing to listen to others all the time. Everyone subconsciously has their own desire to express themselves.

Sure enough, when he said this, others could also chime in.

At that time, someone asked, "Since it is a peach tree, can't it bear peaches now? I remember that peach trees seem to be three to five years old...well...it seems that they can bear peaches in three years."

"Hmm...how do you say this?"

Li Muyang smiled.

"Because the soil here is acidic, the peach trees on our Peach Mountain only bloom but do not bear fruit, unlike the peach trees we cultivated ourselves."

"Well, that's quite wasteful. What did you mean by acidic just now?"

"It means...how to put it, the soil is not suitable for growing peach trees."

"Since it's not suitable, let's find a way to see if we can adjust it. Isn't it a waste to leave so many peach trees with only flowers and no fruit?"

Li Muyang found that the person he was talking to was quite smart.

This is his mother-in-law's brother-in-law, he is also called the third uncle. At first glance, this man has experience in planting fruit trees.

Moreover, he would ask some questions based on practical considerations and want to solve them. But then again, this was because Li Muyang told him innately that there was a problem with the soil. If he didn't tell him, he might not be able to find out the cause of the problem. "Well, since there is no support in the mountains, what do the people in your village mainly rely on for their livelihood? Farming? Isn't it difficult to farm the land near the mountains?"

"Yes, that's right. That's why we are poorer than other surrounding villages. The cadres in the village are actively trying to find solutions, and the people are just making do with it."

"If that's the case, won't Lili have to suffer if she marries you?"

Zhao Mingwa, who had been silent and obedient, interrupted again.

He has always been sensitive to living without money.

In fact, his family conditions were very poor when he was a child, but now that he has some money, he can't look down on people who live in poverty.

"That wouldn't be the case.

As I said just now, the peaches on our Taoshan Mountain did not bear fruit due to soil problems. I contracted some peach orchards and tried to adjust the soil to see if they could produce peaches.

The effect is not bad. This year we have produced more than 1 kilograms of peaches, which were sold for 3000 to [-] yuan. "

"Is two or three thousand yuan that much?"

As soon as they heard about money, everyone's ears immediately stood up.

Everyone looked at Li Muyang curiously.

Especially for people like Zhao Mingwa, it is even more surprising.

"Well, I don't have many contracts now, and I'm still thinking of grafting most of the peach trees to change varieties.

Nowadays, the peach trees on Taoshan Mountain are all late peaches, which will not mature until August, September or even October. The time is too late, the taste of late peaches is not very good, and late peaches generally do not grow big, so the yield is relatively low.

I am thinking of growing some of them every season through grafting, so as to ensure that peaches can be sold in at least half of the months of the year. "

When Li Muyang said this, everyone could still understand it, because after all, they had seen peach trees before, but they thought it was very magical.

"Then how many have you contracted in total? How many peach trees are there? I heard you just said that the annual output is more than 1 kilograms. Is there that many?"

"Well, we have temporarily contracted 80 acres. I am still trying. It may not be more than 1 kilograms, of course, it may be more.

These are all things that cannot be said for now. The effects may not be seen until three to five years later. "

"So how much income did you make during your debugging period?"

"We'll look at next year. I think it's possible that 2 kilograms of peaches can be guaranteed."

"2 kilograms. One kilogram is worth 4 cents...4000 cents. That's [-] yuan. Oh no, [-] yuan is really a lot."

Soon someone helped Li Muyang settle the account.

Li Muyang said that he contracted 80 acres, but he just didn't want to tell these people the real situation.

His principle is that he should not be too low-key to show that he has no ability and make people look down upon him, thereby looking down on Lin Xiuli.But it also cannot be high-profile.He seemed particularly arrogant.And let others instigate excessive conditions to improve Lin Xiuli.

In front of these relatives, he tried to be somewhat capable, but not particularly capable.In this way, others will not stay away from him because he is poor, nor will they say bad things about him behind his back because he is too powerful.

It can be regarded as a life experience summed up after a lifetime.

"By the way, Muyang, when you and your sister-in-law came to propose marriage, didn't we tell you that the house must be built before we, Lili, get married, so how is your house built? Has construction started? "

It was obviously a birthday celebration for his mother-in-law, but it seemed to be a consultation meeting for Li Muyang.

Fortunately, his mentality is very good and stable.

No matter what others did or what they asked, he was ready to respond calmly.

"Yeah, almost. The decoration will be completed in about ten days and a half. Let's do a little work, decorate the inside, and then put in the furniture. If we go quickly, we may be able to move in by the middle of next month."

"Is it so fast? You've only been here a few months? You can't be fooled, right? This won't work. Since you're building a new house, build it well. My wife and baby will live in it in the future. It's not okay if the quality is bad."

"Well, I know that. We all use bricks and tiles to build it very solidly."

"Well, if we use bricks and tiles, that's fine. The house is made of bricks and tiles which is indeed more solid. As long as the surrounding yard is made of soil."

Li Muyang did not correct that his yard was also entirely made of red bricks.

It's still the same principle, it's better to keep a low profile, there's no point in worrying about this.

"Now that everything is ready. It seems that Lili will definitely go out in December.

Seeing how grown up this child is, we are really reluctant to marry him suddenly.Muyang, you are lucky to find a wife like Lili, so you can enjoy yourself for the rest of your life. "

Li Muyang was of course very happy when others praised his wife. He couldn't even close his mouth with laughter. He would smile at anyone who praised him.

Lin Xiuli has always been very popular with her mother's family. Even with a temper like Zuo Meiling, she has a close relationship with her, let alone other ordinary people.

Everyone is used to having such a docile and hard-working girl at home, but suddenly she is gone. It is really not used to it.

"Yes, I am very happy to marry Lili. Elders, brothers and sisters, don't worry, I will treat her well and make her live a peaceful, smooth and happy life."

"That's fine, that's fine."

The mother-in-law finally pulled back her words and said kindly to Li Muyang:

"Our family, Lili, is also a hard-working person. She has helped me do a lot of things since I was a child. Without her, I don't know how to support my family.

Seeing that he is getting older, I can't keep him by my side no matter how reluctant I am.

Muyang, I think you are an honest kid. You and Lili should live a good life together in the future. If anything happens, the couple will discuss it with each other.Don't quarrel, let alone fight.

As a couple, it is inevitable to live a life of frustration, but it is nothing more than trivial matters.

Even if you argue, it will pass, and if you don’t, it will pass.

If something happens, the couple will work out a solution together.

Don't blame each other, and don't throw tables and benches into trouble.

Also, after she passes, you have to protect her.

Hmm... I heard that some people in your clan are quite powerful, but don't let her be bullied.

At home, although life was a bit hard, no one bullied Lili.If things happen to me after I get married, I, as a mother, will be very sad. "

Li Muyang nodded seriously. This was a mother's worry about her child.He totally understands.

I'm talking.Lin Xiuli opened the door and came in.

"Hey, I'm going to the store to buy some soy sauce. Do you want to go?"

"go."

Li Muyang stood up immediately. He had a good opportunity to be alone with his wife. How could he miss it?
