Chapter 130 The whole village is mobilized
2:00 p.m.
Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping returned home smoothly.
After greeting her father-in-law, Zhang Xiuping hurried into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, Zhang Xiuping walked out of the bathroom with a satisfied look on her face after expelling all the toxins that had been held in for two days.
This time she took her husband back to her parents' home and stayed for three days. Food and accommodation were no problem, but going to the toilet was a torture for her.
After all, after having a bowel movement in a clean bathroom, going to the toilet in a shit lake that is so dirty that it cannot be described in words is really a completely different experience.
Anyway, Zhang Xiuping didn't want to experience that terrible feeling again, nor did she want her husband to experience it. Not to mention whether he could bear it or not, Zhang Xiuping didn't want to smell the smell after he came out of the shit lake.
Therefore, during the three days back at her parents' home, the couple only went to the toilet once, and that was not in the Shit Lake, but in an open-air toilet on the mountain.
But the weather is cold now, and it’s not comfortable to go to the open-air toilet in the mountains. My butt is so cold that I can’t stand it.
This is the main reason why the couple only went to the toilet once in three days and then held it in until they got home to have another one.
…
The tile factory started work on the sixth day of the first lunar month. On the seventh day, Deng Shirong, Deng Yunqiang and Deng Changfu went to Xinguang Farm in Lingshan County to bring back the lychee saplings for planting.
When ordering the lychee seedlings, Deng Shirong ordered one thousand. Deng Yunqiang's mountain was about the same size as Deng Shirong's, so he also ordered one thousand. However, Deng Changfu's father-in-law's family did not have such a large mountain, so they only ordered seven hundred.
The three companies together had a total of 2,700 plants, which was definitely not enough for one truck to carry all, so Deng Shirong and the other two hired two trucks.
Given the traffic conditions of this era, it goes without saying how tiring it is to make a round trip.
Just like the saying that the Hakka people in Bobai often say: I am willing to love you.
Despite all the hard work, we finally pulled the lychee seedlings back at around 6pm on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
“So this is the lychee seedling of Guiwei Lychee!”
"This lychee seedling looks good. It is really different from the lychee seedlings grown on straight trees here."
"The lychee seedlings have already grown. No wonder Jiugong said that if these lychee seedlings are planted, they will probably start to bear fruit in the second year."
“I don’t know what the Guiwei lychees look like, or whether they taste good.”
“…”
Although it was already dark at this time, everyone in the village, young and old, came to watch when they learned that Deng Shirong had brought back the lychee seedlings of Guiwei Lychee.
After looking at the lychee seedlings, the production team leader Deng Yunjun walked up to Deng Shirong who was eating and asked, "Uncle Jiu, does Xinguang Farm still have lychee seedlings like this?"
Deng Shirong swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "The Xinguang Farm in Lingshan County is a large state-owned farm. The farm has introduced Guiwei lychees for 25 or 26 years. Although you can't cut too many branches from a lychee tree, there are 20,000 to 30,000 Guiwei lychees in Xinguang Farm. It should be no problem to get 10,000 to 20,000 seedlings."
Deng Yunjun nodded and said, "Then let's take a look at your and Yunqiang's planting situation first. If the lychee seedlings grow well, I will also reclaim the mountains at home to plant Guiwei lychees."
Deng Shirong grows Guiwei lychees. Not only is he not afraid that the villagers will follow suit, he even hopes that they will follow suit.
Firstly, he didn't expect to get rich by growing litchi, but he hoped to allow his nephews and nieces in the village to earn some money and improve their lives.
Secondly, it is not a bad thing to grow Guiwei lychees on a large scale, as it can build a reputation and allow more merchants to compete in the future, thereby avoiding situations where prices are suppressed or the products cannot be sold.
Therefore, when Deng Yunjun said he also wanted to plant Guiwei lychees, Deng Shirong encouraged him, saying, "Captain, you can't make much money just by growing pine trees on the mountain. Turning the mountain into an orchard and planting fruit trees is the best option.
If the family members are free, they can start the orchard reclamation work now. Even if they don’t grow Guiwei lychees, they can grow other fruits.”
Deng Yunjun nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, Uncle Jiu, you are right. I will ask my family to take action tomorrow and also tell my brothers and nephews. If they are willing, they can follow suit. If they are not willing, I will not force them."
Deng Shirong knew that the captain was responsible and hoped that the brothers and nephews in the village could live a good life after dividing the land and working on their own, so he supported: "Most of the families are here now, captain, you can tell them what you think. Anyway, let everyone make their own choice whether to do it or not."
Deng Yunjun thought about it and agreed, then walked into the crowd and said loudly: "Brothers and nephews, please be quiet and listen to me."
After everyone quieted down, Deng Yunjun asked, "Dear brothers and nephews, seeing that Uncle Jiu's family and Yunqiang's family brought back so many lychee saplings from Lingshan County, what do you think?"
"What ideas can this have?"
"Captain, if you have something to say, just say it!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Yeah, Captain, what do you think?"
“…”
Deng Yunjun said: "Now our Naye production team has divided the land and worked independently. I believe everyone has seen what Uncle Jiu has achieved during this period of time, so I don't need to say more. Now Uncle Jiu is taking the lead in reclaiming the mountains into orchards and preparing to plant Guiwei lychees.
I don't know what you think, but I, Deng Yunjun, plan to follow Uncle Jiu. Tomorrow, my family and I will go to reclaim the mountain next to my home. Once the orchard is reclaimed, even if we don't plant Guiwei lychees, we can plant other fruits. It's better than leaving the mountain there to grow weeds.
I am telling you now, those who are willing to follow along can do so, and those who are not willing will not be forced."
After hearing this, the villagers all felt that what the captain said made sense. The mountains had no other use except growing grass there, and even the trees on the mountains were worthless. But if they were reclaimed and used to plant fruit trees, that would be a different story.
Even though the villagers were not very knowledgeable, they knew that fruit trees were much more valuable than trees that could only be used as firewood.
Immediately, a villager asked: "Captain, it's okay for us to plant fruit trees, but when the trees bear fruit, how are we going to sell the fruit?"
Deng Yunjun smiled and said, "The state has always entrusted the supply and marketing cooperatives to purchase agricultural products. When the time comes, we only need to negotiate the price with the supply and marketing cooperatives in advance."
Hearing this, everyone was a little excited. After all, Deng Yunjun was the team leader of the production team, and his words were highly credible. In addition, the planting of fruit trees was led by the capable man Deng Shirong, so everyone was even more confident.
As a result, many people on the spot expressed their desire to follow Uncle Jiu and the captain to build an orchard and plant fruit trees.
Other villagers who did not express their opinions on the spot also said that they would go back and discuss it with their families.
Of course, everyone is responding, but it is impossible for every household to grow Guiwei lychees like Deng Shirong. This requires such a high investment. Without a loan from the bank, not many households in Naye Village can afford it.
