Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 71

After a spring trimming, more than half of the wasteland has been reclaimed into fertile land.

The construction of the reservoir has obviously accelerated the development of the wasteland, especially the pool water that has been mixed with space water. After the fields are watered, no matter what crops are planted, they will grow gratifyingly.

Su Mu originally thought of many fun projects, and planned to take Xia Jin and her daughter to try them one by one.

Unexpectedly, when I first arrived at the farm, only a row of vegetable greenhouses near the foot of the mountain attracted Hibiscus!
From cherry tomatoes to artificially grown fungus, shiitake mushrooms to plentiful strawberries.There are at least forty or fifty greenhouses in a row, and most of the plants planted in them are fruits and vegetables that Xia Jin has only eaten and never seen before. oo.

"Brother Su Mu, you are simply a small landlord! You have contracted so much land, and it has so many uses, it is amazing!" It can be eaten directly without washing.The little girl's pockets were stuffed with bright red cherry tomatoes, and she enjoyed eating one bite at a time.

Xia Jin's mother was also very curious, and asked: "Why are there also strawberries? There are so many strawberries in the field outside, and we need to plant them in the vegetable greenhouse here? Are the varieties different?"

"There is no difference in varieties. This is the first year of the farm, and I have not formally divided the area. In the future, I plan to divide the whole farm into several parts and increase the varieties of strawberries, so that the agricultural products will be more abundant. It is summer now, no matter The inside and outside of the shed are the same, but in winter, strawberries can no longer be grown in the fields outside. These sheds were built for growing melons, fruits and vegetables in winter.”

Su Mu took the baskets used by the workers and handed them one each, "Think about it, when everything withers in winter, we can go into the greenhouse to pick sweet and sour strawberries. It should be fun, right? We will promote flowers in the future." Tan'ao's tourism business must have something interesting and unique, and picking it will definitely be popular."

"That's great! When will we start to officially operate the tourism business? We will definitely promote it for you!" Xia Jin's mother took the basket and felt that his idea was very good.

Nowadays, most urban people yearn for life in the countryside, but many tourist attractions are just fighting for money besides seeing the scenery.

Expensive tickets, board and lodging, and sometimes during peak tourist periods, almost all scenic spots are overcrowded.I saw more people than the sights, bought some local specialties, 80.00% of them were ordinary goods, at least my family was slaughtered no less than ten times when traveling!
Sometimes I just want to get close to nature, but the slightly better scenery is artificially circled to collect tickets.Even if you live in a farmhouse in the mountains and watch the natural scenery, you still lack the enjoyment of being close to nature.

In recent years, many picking gardens have been set up in the suburbs, and I have visited twice with my family.

The strawberries picked are all grown by various chemical fertilizers, and taste very ordinary; moreover, the strawberries picked by themselves are indeed fresh, but the price is much more expensive than those bought in supermarkets.After careful calculation, in fact, it is just an addiction to picking, and there is nothing special about the others.

So this spring, the advertisements of the picking garden were turned upside down, and I was not moved anymore.

"Brother Su Mu, how many strawberries can you pick in a day on your farm? Look, there are three ripe ones on this tree!" Xia Jin walked to the strawberry garden with a basket in her arms, and picked her waist. Pulling away a few leaves, he was immediately pleasantly surprised to see those huge strawberry fruits.

"Strawberries have to be picked in batches, and only once every two or three days. On average, you can harvest about [-] catties each time." Su Mu thought for a while and gave her an approximate value.

Xia Jin had just stuffed one into her mouth, and she was frightened by the number, "Ten thousand catties? Then this strawberry field alone will definitely earn a lot of money!"

"I can't earn too much. The price of strawberries is relatively low now, and the initial investment is quite large." He said vaguely and perfunctorily.

In fact, until now, the products on the farm have not started to be sold outside.

Su Mu specially rented a remote warehouse in Taohua County. When the agricultural products were delivered, he would store them in the space.After returning home, I will give some of the money to my dad according to the price of ordinary products. Now a lot of agricultural products have been piled up on the Qingshi platform.He was thinking about registering a company by himself in the autumn, specializing in the wholesale business of agricultural products.

When late autumn comes, when green leafy vegetables and fresh melons and fruits are less and less, I sell the goods I have hoarded, and strive to make Huatanao's green food famous in one go!
"Mom, do I look like the little girl picking strawberries in fairy tales?" Xia Jin's eyes were quick, and the basket she was carrying was already more than half full of strawberries.

She put green strawberry leaves and bright red strawberry fruit in her hair, and held half a basket of strawberries in a POSS, asking her mother to quickly take pictures of her.

Just as Xia Jin's mother was about to take a picture of her with her mobile phone, Su Mu hurriedly took out the prepared DSLR with a "click" and took a picture of Xia Jin first.

"Do you want to take a photo together?" After looking at the effect, he was quite satisfied with his skills, and motioned for the mother and daughter to get closer, and took pictures of them himself.

"Muzi is so careful that he even has a camera ready. On the contrary, we came here for a trip and didn't bring a camera!" Xia Jin's mother took a few photos naturally with her daughter in her arms.

Su Mu just bought a book by himself and learned how to use it according to the instruction manual of the SLR.

At most, I usually take a few photos of my family, or the flowers and trees in Huatanao, but now I take pictures of Xia Jin and her daughter, and the effect is surprisingly good.

After fiddling with the camera beside Su Mu for a while, Xia Jin walked up to her mother, and suddenly asked in a solemn and low voice: "Mom, can I come here to teach? I heard from Sister An that the children here are all I haven’t been to school, and I don’t even know the words. Isn’t our learning knowledge just to contribute to society, so I just choose to support teaching!”

"Do you think you can adapt to life in the countryside? You just came to the strawberry garden to pick a few strawberries. You just played around and didn't even do any farm work. Isn't it too hasty to make a decision so early?" Xia Jin The mother did not directly refuse, but reasoned with her daughter, "If you want to contribute to society, at least you must be able to support yourself. If Muzi doesn't care about your food and accommodation, can you earn money to solve the problem of food and accommodation?
Don't forget, you are talking about supporting education, not being a people's teacher.

People's teacher is a profession.You must have sufficient academic qualifications and knowledge reserves to teach and educate people, and to get the corresponding salary to maintain your own life.

Xiao Jin, your starting point is good, but you haven't thought it through.

If you just devote yourself to something with enthusiasm, regardless of the overall situation and reality, then you will eventually end in failure.

If you like this place and education career, you can definitely consider applying to a normal school after the college entrance examination next year.After you have sufficient knowledge reserves, you can apply to be a teacher at Huatanao Primary School.What do you think? "

"But I want to stay here now, it will be too late when I graduate from college!" Xia Jin hugged her mother's arm pitifully and acted like a baby, "Anyway, brother Su Mu is a small landlord, and sister An is at his house Eat and drink, why can't I?"

Xia Jin's mother was taken aback for a moment, peeking at Su Mu who was helping them pick strawberries not far away, and muttered in her heart: Could it be that the little girl fell in love with Su Mu?

Sixteen or seventeen is the time when a girl begins to fall in love. She has always paid attention to her daughter's education, and of course first love cannot be avoided.But my daughter has always been well-behaved, and she will tell her what is on her mind, and sometimes she will share it with herself when she receives a love letter from a boy at school, and then the mother and daughter will discuss it fairly.

In the past, my daughter had never had a tendency to fall in love. Could it be that I was too sensitive this time?
"Why is it too late to graduate from college? If you don't have to wait, you can come over to help teach during the winter and summer vacations. You are still young, and you won't be able to help much even if you stay. It's better to finish your studies, and then you can It will come in handy!" Xia Jin's mother thought for a while, but still adopted a discussing tone.

Xia Jin took a peek at Su Mu who was not far away, nodded after thinking for a moment, "Okay then, I will go all out to prepare for the college entrance examination first, and I will teach students when I have a good foundation in cultural knowledge in the future!"

The whispering between the mother and daughter came to an end, Xia Jin was still humming to help Su Mu pick strawberries, but her mother had already started to quietly pay attention to her daughter's every move.

"The strawberry garden is so big, what is it over there? I seem to have seen this kind of leaves somewhere." After picking two baskets full of strawberries, Xia Hibiscus still couldn't get enough of it.The sun was already slightly westward, and she tilted her head while holding her big-brimmed hat, carefully observing a large green plant at the end of the strawberry garden.

It's just that she doesn't know much about various vegetables and fruits. After thinking about it for a while, she still can't remember where she saw this kind of flower-shaped leaves.

"Silly girl, you're even stupider than me, you don't even know watermelons!" Su Mu pretended to despise her, making Xia Jin threaten him with a fist.

"No wonder Xiao Jin said that you are a small landlord. The farm is full of various crops." Xia Jin's mother looked around for a while, only to realize that what she visited was only a corner of the farm. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she might not have imagined it. How many crops are grown here?

Su Mu stepped forward and pulled out the big watermelon hidden in the leaves, and the little girl who provoked went to the melon field to search for the "hidden" watermelon.

"We are now at the northernmost part of the farm. In addition to the cherry tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms, and fungus just now, we grow watermelons here; further there are all seasonal vegetables, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and a slice of carrots; in the center It is a reservoir, which looks like a lake because of its relatively large scale, and the woods planted next to the reservoir are mulberry trees, and it is expected that fresh mulberries will be picked next year..."

Looking at the small and fruitful farm, Su Mu also happily introduced the current crop arrangement to Xia Jin's mother, interspersed with Xia Jin's cries of surprise when she found the watermelon from time to time.

He also looked around, the setting sun was slightly slanting, the blue sky and clear water, the fruitful farm, and the little girl who was chattering, the rural life this summer vacation is still very beautiful!
