After I Lost My Job, I Went Home To Farm

The next day, Grandma Gu led Gu Yinan to the village to find the villagers who rented their own fields to grow crops, and agreed to return the land after the rice was harvested in a few days.

The Gu family has a total of four acres of paddy fields, eight acres of dry land, and 12 acres of land is enough for Gu Yinan Huo Huo, and he will rent more land after opening up the market.

After confirming that the villagers would return the land in the near future, Gu Yinan purchased a large amount of seeds and farm tools directly from the Internet. In the evening a few days later, Gu Yinan received a call from the courier and asked her to go to the courier collection point in the town. take away.

Gu Yinan borrowed the mountain bike from Granny Liu's house, and drove the mountain bike toward the town in a rush, raising dust all the way.

Because there were a lot of things to buy, the courier took a while to find them all.

Gu Yinan bought a bottle of ice water, "Can't you help deliver it to the village?" Occasionally, it's fine, but it's time-consuming and laborious if you come every time to pick up the courier.

"You're rarely at home, right?" The courier explained patiently when seeing Gu Yinan's beautiful appearance: "Your village is full of old ladies and grandfathers, and there are very few couriers, and we won't deliver if the quantity reaches a certain amount. , if you want us to deliver it to your door, you have to give it another five dollars separately."

"Actually, it only takes ten minutes to drive from your village, which is also very convenient. There is no need to spend more money."

Gu Yinan knew that express delivery was based on quantity, and it was impossible to deliver for one person alone. After thanking him, he drove back and forth in a mountain bike. It took 20 minutes to go back and forth.

The courier looked at Gu Yinan's distant back, "He looks so good-looking and has a good temperament, I don't know if he has a partner."

The owner of the courier station glanced at the courier, "Don't dream about it, can a girl as white and immortal like you as a courier?"

Courier: "What if?"

"What's the matter, don't hurry up and send these couriers out."

......

Gu Yinan drove back to the village on a mountain bike without traffic jams. The cool breeze blew past the rice that had not yet been harvested on both sides of the road.

Gu Yinan took the seeds home by car, unloaded the goods and hurriedly sent them back to Mrs. Liu's house. In the spacious yard of Liu's house, the golden-yellow rice was drying, and it took almost two days to dry. .

The sound of mahjong came from the Liu family's house, "Three tubes."

"Touched."

"How come you can touch it back and forth?"

"What's wrong with touching your cards? I still want to kong."

"You are in a dream, how can it be so easy for you to be swayed."

Several old ladies mixed their innocuous mouths and laughed.

Gu Yinan drove the tricycle into the yard and parked it, and shouted into the house, "Mother Liu, I've parked the tricycle in the yard."

"Just leave it there." Granny Liu walked out of the room with a bamboo fan, "Nannan come in and sit, it's cool in the room."

Gu Yinan entered the room and saw Grandma Gu who was sitting on one side, the little old lady wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses, watching the cards seriously.

Gu Yinan greeted several old ladies, then sat next to Grandma Gu and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, have you won any money?"

"Your grandma is lucky and won more than ten yuan."

The old people in the village play mahjong to pass the time, and the wins and losses are very small.

Granny Liu brought the cut watermelon to Gu Yinan, "Nannan, eat the watermelon, just took it out of the refrigerator, it's very comfortable to eat."

"Thank you, Granny Liu." Gu Yinan took the watermelon and ate it in small bites.

"This watermelon is delicious, better than the last time Xiao Li's family gave it."

"His melons are covered by orchards, how can they be sweet." Granny Liu said, "Xiao Li is too greedy and wants to grow everything."

In addition to the original orange trees and pear trees, there are also a small amount of cherry trees, plum trees, and kiwi fruit in the fruit forest on the mountain, all of which were planted by Xiao Li after renting the land.

The reason why these fruit trees are planted is because Xiao Li thinks that the price is high, and they can sell more money when they are planted. However, due to lack of experience and miscellaneous planting, only oranges and pears grow well.

Another mother-in-law said, "By the way, do you know that Xiao Li and the others don't plan to rent the fruit forest?"

"I don't know." Grandma Gu glanced at the old lady opposite, "Who did you listen to?"

"Listen to what Xiao Li's mother said." Granny Wen told the story of her encounter with Xiao Li's mother when she went to the town to go to the market yesterday.

"Now that Xiao Li has undergone surgery, he may not be able to do heavy work in the future, and there will be no one to take care of Guolin, so they want to wait for Qiu Li to bear fruit and then not rent it. After the security deposit is refunded, they will take it to the county to open a small shop. In the supermarket, sit at the door and collect money easily."

"They rented it for 20 years, and it's only been seven years now. Can the village let him take it back?"

"I don't care, I just see what the village chief has to say." Several old ladies sitting here have a good relationship with the Xiaoli family and understand the situation of the Xiaoli family.

"Unless someone can be found to take over, the village chief will definitely not agree," said Granny Liu.

Grandma Gu put the watermelon rind away and wiped her hands, "The security deposit is not too much. It's much less than the rent given to us every year. If Xiao Li really doesn't want to rent, the village chief can't help it."

Granny Wen took a bamboo fan and fanned it, "If Xiao Li doesn't rent it, I'm afraid no one will rent it in the future. My son and the others are out of town again, and they don't want to come back. As an old woman, I definitely don't have the strength to take care of those acres of orchards. , I'm afraid it will be abandoned in the future."

"Our son is also unwilling to come back after buying a house in the city. If I want to say that living in a small bird cage, how can it be comfortable to live at home."

"The big city is lively." Granny Liu said, "My son lives in the county town and he doesn't want to come back to farm. I said it's so close, it only takes more than half an hour to drive, and he usually comes back to work. What's the matter? No way."

"The younger generation is like this. They can't lift their shoulders and hands. My grandson told him to pick a bucket of water and he couldn't pick it up." Granny Wen played another card and went out, and then asked Granny Gu: "I listened to what the Ma family said. After the rice is harvested, will the land be rented out?"

Grandma Gu raised her eyelids, "No more rent."

"Why don't you rent it? Didn't you say you couldn't plant it for back pain two years ago? Why are you planning to plant it again?"

Gu Yinan, who was eating melons quietly by the side, said, "Mother Wen, I plan to go home to accompany my grandma, so I took the land back to grow some vegetables."

Grandma Gu was afraid that Gu Yinan would change her mind again, and she didn't tell everyone about her plan not to leave the village, so Grandma Liu and several people all looked surprised, "Aren't you going to go out to work?"

Gu Yinan snorted, "Yes, we have beautiful mountains and rivers here, and the vegetables we grow taste better than those outside. I plan to sell more vegetables to people outside in the future."

To be honest, several people from Granny Liu are not very optimistic about Gu Yinan coming back to grow vegetables. Every household in the village grows vegetables, and no one has ever made a fortune selling vegetables, so they all feel that Gu Yinan is stupid at the moment. If you don't make money, you just go home and grow vegetables. Isn't this a book you've read for so many years?

But after thinking about it, everyone is not good at attacking people in front of them. They just persuaded them with good words: "Nannan, this kind of land is very tiring. You come and go in the mud every day. Can you get used to it?"

Gu Yinan knew the good intentions of several mother-in-laws, but since she came back, she couldn't give up, not to mention that she had treasure in her hands, and she was not afraid of losing money. And she doesn't care about other people's eyes, it is enough to be able to accompany her grandma and do what she is good at.

Grandma Gu spoke for her granddaughter: "If she wants to do it, let her do it. Now everyone says that she wants to start a business, and growing vegetables is also a business."

Grandma Liu thought about it too, "It needs to be a little more varied. I heard from my son that those who build greenhouses sell several tons a day, and they are still very profitable."

"The planting shed needs a lot of land. Is there still a shortage of land in Nannan? Our family's land is deserted. If you lack land, you can directly plant it without charging your rent."

"We don't have any plants at home, you can also plant them."

Several old people watched Gu Yinan grow up, and they were kind-hearted and wanted to help.

Now the family has more than ten acres of land, which is enough for Gu Yinan to grow vegetables. Before the sales volume is opened, there is no plan to rent the land. "I will plant the land at home first, and if I need to rent the land in the future, I will ask my mother-in-law and you to come. rent."

"Mother-in-law doesn't want money, you can just use it and plant it."

…

At sunset in the evening, there are a few villagers in the fields sparsely harvesting rice, roosters and dogs barking, which is a bit more lively than in the daytime.

Gu Yinan and Grandma Gu walked slowly and leisurely to the house along the bluestone path in the center of the village. Under the afterglow, their cheeks glowed with a faint red light.

Gu Yinan glanced at the lush fruit forest in the back mountain, "Grandma, our family's fruit forest is the ten mu on the farthest, right?"

Grandma Gu looked at it, "It's not ten acres, it's eight acres."

"I remember that when I was a child, when it was winter every year, I would carry the blood oranges with a basket on my back. When I carried it home, I ran too fast. As a result, I fell and lost my front teeth." Gu Yinan thought of the young At the time of life, the corners of the mouth rose. At that time, I thought that I could exchange blood oranges for new shoes, and I felt happy no matter how tired I was.

Grandma Gu also remembered this incident and couldn't help laughing, "You should have been six years old at that time, please don't memorize too much, you won't listen, you have to be full, but you can't carry it on the way. , I was directly pressed to the ground, but fortunately I didn't change my teeth at that time, otherwise I would be missing teeth now."

"It seems so." Gu Yinan thought it was funny, "Is the fruit forest still growing oranges?"

Grandma Gu said: "Yes, you like to eat oranges. When the winter results, you won't sell all of them. Save them all and eat them slowly."

Gu Yinan: "Little Li really doesn't rent anymore?"

Grandma Gu said: "I don't know, he can rent it or not."

Gu Yinan asked again: "Grandma, how many acres did Xiao Li rent? How much is the monthly rent for you?"

Grandma Gu calculated, "It's less than 200 mu, and each household will be given 2,000 yuan a year."

Because the orchards rented by Xiao Li were originally forests with fruit trees, 2,000 years is not too expensive. Gu Yinan did the math. There are 30 households in the village, and almost every household has several acres of fruit forests. The annual rent is about 60,000 yuan.

Gu Yinan asked again, "Grandma, how much is the security deposit?"

"Thirty thousand." After Grandma Gu finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Yinan, "Why are you asking so much?"

"I think if it works..." Before Gu Yinan could finish her words, Grandma Gu interrupted her, "Don't even think about it!"

Gu Yinan was startled.

"You haven't figured out how to grow vegetables, and you want to grow fruit trees? Are you afraid that you will lose your pants?" Grandma Gu gave Gu Yinan a lesson, and then walked home angrily with her hands behind her back.

Gu Yinan looked at the old lady who was walking in the wind, for fear that she would fall accidentally, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Grandma, our dishes are good, and they will definitely be sold."

Grandma Gu: "Just blow it, I haven't even seen a dime now."

Gu Yinan said with a smile, "Don't believe it, when the new crop grows, I'll pick it up and sell it. You can take a look then."

"Don't sell it to me for a dollar or three pounds." After Grandma Gu finished speaking, the old mobile phone in her trouser pocket beeped.
