Wang Cuihua ran away heartbroken.
All eight brick trucks were arranged, and the front seats were full, leaving only the truck where Chen Dafu was located with an empty seat.
The two started arguing as soon as they got in the car.
The noise was driving the driver crazy.
If it weren't for Cheng Ge's sake, he would have thrown those two out of the car in a heartbeat.
Bai Lu has a different experience every time she visits Xiaojia Village.
The first time was when I went back to pay respects to our ancestors with Xiao Cheng, and the second time was to resolve the issue of the chestnuts being forcibly confiscated.
Different purposes, but the scenery along the way was the same: blue sea and sky, green mountains and clear waters, and a gentle breeze.
Everywhere you look is nature's most precious gift.
At the foot of the mountain, by the stream, water buffalo graze on the lush green grass. A young shepherd boy lies on the back of a buffalo, a long green blade of grass between his teeth, a large green leaf in his hand, which he holds up to the sun and leisurely covers his face.
Only when they got closer did they ask, "Did you bring so many cars here today to buy all the chestnuts at once?"
But each time they reached a higher level.
At first, Xiao Cheng would respond with an "um," but after two times, he returned to silence.
Turning around, she met Xiao Cheng's concerned gaze and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Rice planthoppers are the number one pest of rice. They suck the nutrients and water from the rice plants, causing them to wither, turn yellow, collapse, and even die. If rice plantshoppers infest rice, the yield will be reduced in the mildest case, and there will be no harvest at all in the most severe case.
However, upon further reflection, Xiao Cheng usually didn't have any objections when Bai Lu was around.
It wasn't until they were halfway there that they realized they had overlooked Xiao Cheng and had been too busy talking to Bai Lu.
Unless Xiao Cheng comes alone, he has no choice but to use the briefest language and the fastest but unhurried speed to calculate and pay for the chestnuts before driving away.
He didn't say much, as if he wished no one would talk to him. If he said something wrong, he would only tell Bai Lu, not giving anyone else a chance to speak.
"arrive."
“That’s right.” Bai Lu strongly supported the boss: “If you’re not sure, the village chief’s wife will bring out some chestnuts later. You can check them carefully until you’re satisfied. Check them at the villagers’ homes and make sure there are no problems before you buy them, right?”
A soft call from behind awakened Bai Lu from her reverie of memories of the future.
Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu are husband and wife, and they do business together. You should ask both of them for their opinions.
He clearly doesn't like to say a word to outsiders.
Li Hongying immediately went to greet them, waving and greeting Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng from the edge of the field with a big smile.
In the lush vegetable garden, Li Hongying was picking greens when she heard the sound of vehicles and subconsciously looked up. Eight brick trucks were coming out, but the people getting out were not Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng. She waited cautiously for a while, puzzled, and finally saw familiar figures.
Some of the simply dressed adults rolled up their trouser legs, took off their wooden clogs, and stepped into the field to pull weeds.
A bowl of rice goes through a lot, from the time the millet seedlings are planted in the field to the harvest and finally served on the table. It's really not an easy process.
When I found out, everyone in the group had already gotten off the bus and were all standing by the roadside, eagerly waiting.
Xiao Cheng replied with two words: "All is well."
Some stood in twos and threes by the river, vigorously turning the dragon-bone waterwheel to irrigate farmland that was farther away.
This stands in stark contrast to the single-word mantra just spoken.
I don't know how long I've been waiting.
"Red clouds at dawn bring rain at dusk, red clouds at dusk bring sunshine for miles... I don't think it will rain for the next few days."
Yu Fugui, Meng Youliang, and the others were relieved.
“Brother Xiao Cheng has brought back chestnuts several times before, so he must know whose chestnuts are the best, right?” Wang Cuihua struck up a conversation with Xiao Cheng under the pretext of discussing experience.
"Lulu?"
Bai Lu's maternal grandmother was an academician of agricultural science. She loved agriculture. After finishing her research at the research institute, she would still tinker with the vegetable garden at home. The process and the result were often disproportionate.
Wang Cuihua was speechless.
"That's right. Yesterday, the sun went down and the sky was red like a fiery sunset, but there was no rain. We should just keep turning the waterwheel."
They were all asking about Brother Xiao Cheng...
Wang Cuihua was so jealous she couldn't speak, and Chen Dafu just happened to be there to provoke her, starting a fight right away.
Every time I visit Bailu, my understanding of the world is refreshed.
Li Hongying immediately understood: "Then I'll go back and let them know where we're meeting? Should we bring some samples?"
Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng walked in front, while Wang Cuihua followed behind, chattering incessantly with questions.
Xiao Cheng gave her a deep look, then looked away after confirming her identity and picked up the white blanket that had fallen under the seat.
Bai Lu nodded slightly: "Let's go to the small square. There are ten bosses here to buy chestnuts this time. They plan to cooperate for a long time. This is their first time coming to get chestnuts. The quantity is not small. You can bring some chestnuts over to show the bosses. The uncles and aunts can also come over and chat."
I have also gained a more authentic, comprehensive and profound understanding of the poem about sympathizing with the farmers in the textbook.
Only Bai Lu can communicate with Xiao Cheng without any obstacles.
"There's no need to worry too much. It rains before the rice harvest every year for the past two years, so the season will come soon."
"Hopefully there won't be any rice planthoppers this year..."
Having figured everything out, Li Hongying decisively set off for the village, leaving Xiao Cheng to be dealt with by Bai Lu.
Wen Xiuyun, Yu Fugui, Meng Youliang, and others were talking about the endless fruit trees on the mountain not far away.
Bai Lu only realized that she had been so focused on looking at the scenery outside the window that she hadn't noticed when the blanket covering her had fallen off, and she didn't even realize when they arrived.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, everyone was talking about how the early-season rice was growing, how long it had been since it rained, how many more times it needed to be irrigated before flowering and grain formation, or looking up at the sky to predict the rainfall for the next day or the day after.
These words were spoken not only to Wang Cuihua, but also to Yu Fugui and the others behind her, that the chestnuts of Xiaojia Village could withstand the test and be examined and selected one by one.
Bai Lu was the best at smoothing things over. She took over the question that Wang Cuihua hadn't answered and asked Xiao Cheng. They chatted happily, and although Xiao Cheng didn't say much, he didn't just say "hmm".
The main road didn't lead into Xiaojia Village; all the cars were parked at the foot of the mountain, and everyone walked into the village.
Li Hongying understood the important information, nodded and said "okay", and immediately took the vegetable basket and went ahead.
Occasionally, there would be a soft chuckle.
Bai Lu raised an eyebrow and smiled: "I was thinking, eight trucks aren't enough to carry all the chestnuts. There are so many chestnuts in Xiaojia Village, we need to find more buyers."
From the moment they learned they were going to Xiaojia Village to buy chestnuts, which was also Xiao Cheng's hometown, they felt apprehensive.
I'm torn between worrying about overdoing the inspection and upsetting the boss, and also worrying about being too casual and failing to guarantee the quality of the chestnuts. I'm so stressed I'm practically losing my hair, but I can't say anything openly.
Fortunately, Bailu was sent by heaven to act as a bridge to help them communicate with the bigwigs, solving all their problems with a single sentence.
Li Hongying was very efficient. Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng arrived at the square with their people, and everything that needed to be prepared was already in place.
In the center of the square, ten large bamboo baskets, filled with chestnuts, gleamed brightly in the sunlight.
