Lu Zhiye nodded: "When her parents died, she was already eleven or twelve years old, and they had always lived in the opera house.
Through what she has seen and heard, she should understand about 70 percent of it.
But these are just my own guesses, you have to find out the details yourself."
"So, do you think this opera garden can really be built? There's an old saying that goes, three for peaches, four for apricots, and five for pears.
It will take five years for this pear tree to bear fruit? What if…"
He was just excited just now, but now after thinking about it carefully, Captain Lu gradually figured out that something was wrong.
This is too long. The initial investment cost is very high, and I guess many members are unwilling to do it.
Besides, planting pear trees and fencing off the yard all require money. Where do they get the money?
Lu Zhiye glanced at Captain Lu and said, "Who said we need to replant?
It's not like Dali Village is the only brigade in our commune that has pear trees, so can't we just transplant them?"
"You mean the pear orchard in Dazhai Village? But although their pear trees produce a few fruits every year, they are all small and astringent.
Now it's all abandoned, so even if we transplant it here, we can plant it?"
Captain Lu's voice was filled with doubt. It wasn't that he didn't believe Lu Zhiye, it was the fact that they hadn't been able to grow good fruit in more than ten years.
Will it bear fruit if we transplant it here?
"Don't we have Qiao Qianqian? You have to keep an eye on her. If her parents can do it, maybe she can do it too."
"What about the money? Even though their gardens are abandoned, they can't just give it to us for free, right?"
Captain Lu looked at the confident expression on Lu Zhiye's face, and his heart relaxed a little.
“We don’t have money, but Dali Village already had it?
Didn't they submit an application to the commune under the guise of developing collective industry? Didn't the commune then apply to the county?
Can't we in Dahe Village just set one up in the name of the brigade?"
Captain Lu listened to Lu Zhiye's words and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he made a fist with one hand and clapped his other hand together heavily: "I'll go write the application right away!"
Lu Zhiye looked at Captain Lu's gradually receding back, and for the first time he had a new opinion of him.
He thought quickly. Once the pear orchard was built, people from the surrounding villages would come to buy pears.
This alone is not enough, he can negotiate terms with the supply and marketing cooperative.
I will take the opportunity to sell the pears to Harbin as long as I have this reputation.
By the way, he also mined the wasteland in his own space and planted pears.
When the time comes to transport the goods to Harbin, Captain Lu will have to borrow a vehicle from the agricultural machinery station.
He could also take the opportunity to make a few more trips. Before, Lu Zhiye always felt that after the college entrance examination, his identity as a landlord was completely abandoned.
He saved up some money and took advantage of the favorable conditions to rise to the top.
But recently, he suddenly realized that his enemy is still at large, and even his mother is still enduring humiliation.
For the first time, Lu Zhiye hated his own weakness. He urgently needed a pass to go out so that he could gradually disintegrate Meng Deyi's power.
On the other side, Captain Lu hurried to Secretary He's house. Secretary He was feeding chickens in the yard with his bare feet, and a constant "cluck, cluck" sound came from his mouth.
However, a few chickens in the yard were just wandering around eating two meters away from Secretary He.
Secretary He looked puzzled, cursing as he looked toward the door, and said to Captain Lu: "These chickens are really cunning, I feed them delicious food and drink.
He just stayed there and ate the few vegetable leaves, not even eating the food under my feet.
Day by day, I've really gotten used to it!"
Captain Lu: Maybe you should wash your feet.
In the past, we both took off our shoes and sat under a big tree, and we didn’t think it was a big deal.
Ever since Zhou Guoliang reminded him that he had smelled Secretary He's feet, he couldn't stop.
Even from a distance he could feel that Secretary He's feet were smoking...
"Lao He, hurry up and put on your shoes. I have something important to discuss with you. There are some things we need to discuss."
Secretary He moved two stools and a small table out of the house and placed them in the yard.
He crossed his legs and said, "Sit here and tell me what shoes to wear, because the sun is shining brightly on your feet."
Captain Lu looked at him seriously and closed his eyes. He finally understood how Zhou Zhiqing felt before.
With a wooden face, he ran to the eaves, pulled out Secretary He's shoes and put them on him!
Secretary He: What do you mean?
Chickens: What do you mean? Your feet stink.
Captain Lu took out paper and pen from his pocket and sat there writing and drawing.
Secretary He was confused: "Old Lu, what are you drawing? Hey, isn't this the village in the commune next door to us?"
Captain Lu looked at Secretary He with appreciation and said, "You have quite a keen eye.
Look, if we drive a tractor from our village to Dazhai Village, is this the shortest way?"
"Yes, what are you going to do in Dazhai Village?"
Captain Lu calmly explained his plan, and looking at Secretary He's wide eyes, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Alas, every year when we go to pick pears, we have to depend on other people's faces. Look at this time, we paid money but couldn't get good ones.
If our team contracts an orchard ourselves, not only will the members have extra income in the future.
This advanced brigade will definitely be named as such.”
Captain Lu became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally he couldn't help but slam the table, stood up straight and said, "Then the county leaders will look up to us both."
Secretary He stared at the paper on the table and asked the same question as Captain Lu had asked before: Where is the money?
Captain Lu repeated Lu Zhiye's words word for word, and finally sighed: "Alas, this child who has been brought up by this foreign landlord since childhood has a different experience from us."
Secretary He was also excited: "Indeed, it is. Then you should write the application report quickly and write about the difficulties of our village.
This gave the commune leaders some discretion, especially the dozen or so people they had forced into the cowshed in our brigade.
We have solved such a big problem for them, so they should do something for us.”
Captain Lu looked at Secretary He with surprise in his eyes: "Hey, Old He, I didn't realize you were so quick-witted."
Secretary He straightened his body proudly, and his crossed legs shook constantly.
Captain Lu looked at the shoe hanging on his foot, about to fall off, and for a moment he no longer had the desire to stay.
He said, "I will go and write the application now, you just take care of the things in the village.
The pears haven’t been divided yet. Go and take a look. The quality of the pears isn’t very good this time. Don’t start a fight over this.”
Secretary He waved his hands repeatedly: "I'll go after drinking some water. You go quickly..."
