Chapter 126 Uncle You
Uncle You became deaf and unable to speak when he was a child due to a high fever. After his parents died, his brother and sister-in-law drove him out, and he wandered until he met Xu Chunian.
His figure could be seen wherever the sky was his blanket and the ground was his bed, or under the bridge. There were always some naughty kids throwing stones at him, but he thought they were playing with him and was very happy.
Later they became more and more excessive. They threw the waste he picked up into the river and burned his only quilt. He couldn't speak and could only kneel down and cry.
They seemed to find it amusing and became even more aggressive.
During her pregnancy, Xu Chunian liked to sneak out to eat. The snacks in the alley were delicious but unhealthy, and Jiang Huaixu kept a close eye on her.
It happened that day that Uncle You was looking for some food in the trash can to fill his stomach. Xu Chunian felt pity but fear for this man, and was about to walk around him, when an out-of-control banned dog rushed out of the alley and ran straight towards Xu Chunian.
In a thrilling moment, Uncle You beat the dog to death with the stick in his hand, and was accidentally bitten. The dog owner refused to give in and asked Uncle You to kneel down and apologize, which was clearly an attempt to humiliate him.
Fortunately, the person who was saved was the righteous Xu Chunian. Later, when she learned about Uncle You’s experience, she felt really sad, so she kept him and brought him to this orchard.
Uncle You was dedicated to his duties. It is said that when the hailstorm came down, he ran into it, trying to use his body to block the natural disaster and reduce the losses.
It was Zhang Bo who pulled him back by force.
The loss was so severe that he couldn't even eat. This orchard became his sustenance. No matter it was windy or rainy, he could always see Uncle You in the orchard.
Moreover, all the fruit farmers in this orchard have disabilities to varying degrees.
Xu Chunian did not expect to make money from this orchard, she just regarded it as a relief station. However, the orchard did not make money, and the fruit farmers were anxious, fearing that they could not make a profit for her.
In fact, a large part of the fruits were not sold, but were sold to employees of Jiang Huaixu Company, employees of Xu Zhen Company, and Bai Hui’s students.
After all the relatives and friends had sent their gifts, Jiang Huaixu was busy all day long. Xu Chunian didn't want to add to his workload, so she handled it herself.
For some reason, Xu Chunian might not be born to be a business person. At the beginning, her orchard was connected to a cannery, but that year all the fruits in her orchard were small, sour, and sweet with cracks, and they could not grow anything. The connection failed and she lost a lot of money.
Xu Chunian also invited experts, who were qualified in every aspect, but just couldn’t grow good fruits.
Uncle Zhang is an expert at growing fruits and a professor at the Department of Agriculture at University A. He can't sit idle as he's getting older, and his children are reluctant to see him go out to work. He gave Xu Chunian some suggestions on social software, so he was drafted in. He usually wanders around and does investigations.
Things were better last year as a hailstorm wiped out all the crops. This year is even better as the mulberries and blueberries are growing very well. Xu Chunian thought at first that it would only be enough to plant one kind without wasting too much energy, but he was afraid that everyone wouldn't be able to handle it.
They didn't want to, didn't want to waste a piece of land, and they all hoped that Xu Chunian would suffer less losses.
Uncle Zhang is an agronomist who loves the land and hopes that the land can achieve greater value in his hands.
A fruit orchard was built by a half-baked boss and a group of fruit farmers who had just learned how to grow fruit.
Of course, Xu Chunian didn’t know these things until a long time later.
