Captain Lu understood, straightened his clothes, coughed lightly and said, "Captain Liu, how about this, I'll give you another 2,000.
Let's both take a step back, and don't ask for too high a price, if you're willing..."
"make a deal!"
Captain Lu:.........The report is too high.
Liu Haijun joyfully shook Captain Lu's hand.
"Old Lu, you are worthy of being the leader of the advanced brigade, you are so generous in doing things.
Come on, come on, everyone stay at the brigade headquarters for lunch today.
I'll have someone call a few women who can cook delicious meals and show you how good they are at it."
Captain Lu nodded with a smile, but he was actually feeling pained because he had reported too much.
"Captain Liu, you guys go ahead and do your work, we'll just walk around the garden.
Little educated youth Wu, you guys take out some paper and pen and write down how many pear trees there are in total over the years.
By the way, those who have died and those who are still alive are recorded separately. "
Wu Yu agreed crisply. When they came, everyone brought paper and pen with them.
Lu Zhiye also stayed and followed Wen Sihe into the several acres of orchard on the edge.
Wen Sihe looked at many of the pear trees that had already dried up. When he slightly bent the branches of the pear trees, he found that they were all dead inside.
There was a look of regret in his eyes. In that era, there were not as many grafted pear tree varieties as in later generations.
There isn't that much fertilizer and the fruit yield from a pear tree may be around 100 kilograms.
The varieties bred in later generations can weigh between two hundred and five hundred kilograms.
The two were chatting casually when suddenly Lu Zhiye found a pitiful small pear on the pear tree in the corner.
Wen Sihe also saw it, and she said to Lu Zhiye excitedly, "It's not easy, I thought the only fruits that were produced were picked by the villagers.
I didn't expect there was a fish that slipped through the net. I want to eat that fruit."
She clasped her hands together and looked at Lu Zhiye pitifully.
Lu Zhiye took one look at the pear, which was not even as big as Wen Sihe's fist, and suddenly felt a sour taste in his mouth.
But he had no choice, as his wife wanted to eat, so he nimbly hugged the pear tree and climbed up.
Fortunately, he is tall and has long arms, otherwise he really can't reach the fruit.
He wiped the pear on his clothes and then handed it to Wen Sihe.
As soon as Wen Sihe saw this fruit, his mouth started watering.
She opened her red lips slightly and took a bite, and her eyes and nose were immediately squeezed together by the soreness.
The cute look made Lu Zhiye laugh out loud, he stretched out his hand to rub her and said, "Let's go. It will be noon soon.
Let’s have a meal and take a break.”
During the mid-morning, the two men counted the fifty acres of orchard.
Lu Zhiye estimated the speed of the others and thought they could finish counting in about half an afternoon.
Based on their survival rate of three fruit trees per acre, there are probably more than a thousand trees that are unusable.
When the time comes, pull them all into the space and see if they can be grown. If not, leave them for burning, which saves you the trouble of going up the mountain to chop firewood.
The two of them stood at the edge of the field and waited for a while before Wu Yu and the others came out.
Just then, the person who was calling them for dinner arrived. Wu Yu touched his hungry stomach and walked quickly with Wen Sihe.
Captain Liu specially arranged for his wife and daughter to sit at the table with the female educated youth, under the euphemism of "accompanying guests".
But who can't see through his thoughts? The whole family has to come to accompany the guests, right?
There were twenty people at the two tables, and theirs alone occupied four of them.
But this is their team's business, and no one wants to talk about it.
However, Captain Liu's daughter, who had pigtails, smelled of cold cream when she sat down.
She must have dressed up carefully before coming, as her eyes kept glancing at the table full of men.
She licked her chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork for Wen Sihe with a smile on her face.
Wen Sihe felt a sour feeling in his stomach, and quickly picked up the braised pork and put it into the bowl of Captain Liu's wife.
"Auntie, I don't feel like eating meat recently. You can eat it."
When Liu Yuling heard this, she was not very willing to do so. She put down her chopsticks and said unkindly, "Wen Zhiqing, right? What do you mean?
I was kind enough to give you a piece of meat, but you kept resisting.
It's hilarious to think of a good excuse, and you don't even want to eat meat."
Wen Sihe's face also turned cold, she gently placed her chopsticks on the bowl, sat up slightly, and said coldly: "I have indeed not been feeling well recently, and I am not used to others serving me food.
After all, in our youth cadre site, everyone uses their own bowls and chopsticks.
Do I have to make it so clear?"
"You, you, mother, look at her!"
Liu Yuling originally wanted to please this most beautiful educated youth, and turned around to ask her if the man with a crew cut had a girlfriend.
Who knew that she would be so disrespectful to herself? Humph, she will ask her father not to sell the pear tree to them!
Captain Liu's wife also felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that these educated youth were just being picky.
You have already moved to the countryside and your household registration has been transferred to the village, but you still act arrogantly every day!
However, Captain Liu's wife was not as stupid as her daughter. She naturally knew how important it was for Dahe Village to buy pear trees this time.
So he immediately put on a smile, stuffed the braised pork into his mouth in front of everyone, and said vaguely: "Otherwise, you educated youth have good eyesight.
I have been craving this braised pork for a long time, and today I am lucky enough to have it thanks to you guys."
She was eating with her mouth full of oil, and looking at the opportunity handed to her by others, Wen Sihe was not someone who was tactless.
His face suddenly melted like a glacier, and became as warm as the spring breeze. He smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Auntie? It's our honor. Let's eat quickly, we still have work to do in the afternoon."
Li Guihua also came out to smooth things over: "This fish is not bad. I think it tastes better than the one made by the chefs in state-owned restaurants. Come and try it, everyone."
Everyone started eating, taking turns to use their chopsticks.
After receiving Wu Yu's signal, Wen Sihe also extended her chopsticks to the delicious fish.
As soon as I put the fish into my mouth, the fishy smell filled my taste buds.
Her stomach churned and she quickly covered her mouth and ran to the corner.
Wu Yu, Li Guihua and others quickly put down their chopsticks and went to check.
Wen Sihe squatted in the corner and retched for a long time, only able to spit out some sour water.
The noise outside also scared the people in the house.
Lu Zhiye jumped out from the bench and ran quickly to Wen Sihe.
Patting her back gently, he asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Did you get an upset stomach from the pear you ate this morning?"
The corners of Wen Sihe's eyes were red and slightly watery.
His face was full of discomfort: "I don't know, I always feel uncomfortable in my stomach."
Captain Liu’s wife saw the whole scene. A little girl like her didn’t understand these things, but how could she, who had given birth to five children, not understand these things?
