Chapter 616: Advice to My Hometown
Fu Jingyou raised his eyes to look at Lu Miao, waiting for her next words.
"Guangzhou and Shenzhen have geographical advantages. They've already launched the first wave, so other places won't have to wait too long..."
Lu Miao pursed his lips and mentioned to him the idea that he had thought about in his hometown but had not had time to say:
"Now that the household contract responsibility system is being implemented in more and more places, those who have the spare capacity can even contract more land... There are so many barren hills in my hometown, and they are just sitting there anyway. Why don't I ask my uncle and aunt to let me contract a hill to plant some fruit trees or something?"
Fu Jingyou frowned and thought seriously.
Lu Miao continued:
"Once the saplings are planted, they won't require much care. By the time the reform winds reach my hometown, the trees will be almost ready to bear fruit. Then we can catch the harvest. How great is that?"
Fu Jingyou shook his head, thinking she was taking things for granted:
"How can it be so good and easy to make money?"
Lu Miao gave him a scolding smile, and gently pushed him like a spoiled child, then sat down beside him.
"Who says you have to make money? If the harvest is good, you can make money. If the harvest is bad, as long as you can eat some fresh fruit at home, it's not a loss."
The prices in my hometown are there, and it’s all wilderness and mountains, so it doesn’t cost much to contract it.
Thinking about it, Lu Miao said again:
"My uncle and aunt both come from hardworking farming families. Now that they're old, they'd feel uneasy if we didn't let them farm, and they certainly wouldn't listen. But if the orchard is established and profitable with income, who knows?"
Taking care of an orchard requires effort, but it is definitely easier than spending every day in the fields.
Fu Jingyou carefully considered what she said and felt that there was some truth in it, so he mentioned a few words at the end of the letter.
However, he did not write it as Lu Miao said, but modified it carefully.
He knew He Hongjin and Chen Guifen very well.
If the idea of contracting to grow fruit trees is suddenly brought up, the old couple will definitely hesitate because the business is too extensive.
But considering that they might want to eat it, they will probably still try to tinker with it.
And once it is actually implemented, as Lu Miao said, the old couple are both from hardworking farmers.
Once the saplings are planted, there will definitely be no such thing as "no need for care".
The old couple will certainly take care of it as carefully as they do their daily farming.
As a result, not only did it reduce their daily burden, but they were also assigned more tasks.
But if we change the perspective and replace individual contracting with collective contracting.
If one household's industry becomes the industry of multiple households, or even the industry of the entire village, that is another matter.
Just like the rice fish farming in the original production team, everyone contributed money and effort and shared the profits.
There is strength in numbers, and we can accomplish more.
By then, not only will we be able to enjoy the fruits ourselves, it's also possible that we can ride on the wind and drive the village to prosperity...
Fu Jingyou didn't dare to write too deeply. He scribbled a few suggestions and showed the letter to Lu Miao.
What he meant was that he should hand the analysis back first and see what the old couple thought.
If it is deemed feasible, we will consider the details at that time.
Lu Miao took a quick glance at it, then nodded and handed the letter back to him.
Ask him to fold it and put it in an envelope along with a small stack of photos.
His considerations were reasonable.
When Lu Miao mentioned the orchard, it was actually just a suggestion.
Reform and opening up have brought many opportunities, but to put it bluntly, opportunities are something that may or may not be destined to happen.
The idea is given, it’s up to you whether to do it or not.
It may not be successful if you do it, but it will definitely not be successful if you don’t do it.
After all, money doesn't rain from the sky for no reason...
Although he was not absolutely sure, Lu Miao had considered it.
If their hometown is determined to do it, then those of us who are outside will inevitably help find ways to export it.
They may not have many connections, but after all, they are outside, so the chances of finding opportunities are always greater.
All in all, the probability of success will naturally be greater.
…
The letter and the things were sent out, and in the blink of an eye, it was the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year in the north.
After a long period of hardship, the few days around the New Year are the only rare days of prosperity, and the festive colors on the faces of the people are becoming more and more vibrant.
The sounds of people coming in and out and greeting each other in the alleys in the morning and evening have become particularly loud.
At the electromechanical factory, Fu Jingyou also got a day off.
He can't sit still.
When the family was preparing for the New Year, he also joined in, running around carrying large and small items home.
Several adults were coming in and out, and Lu Miao felt a little restless watching them.
She hadn't been out for a long time and wanted to go out for a walk.
Even now, the department store is crowded, and children also need someone to look after them.
Afraid of delaying the preparations for the New Year, Lu Miao kept the words he wanted to go out stuck in his throat.
Fu Jingyou came back in the afternoon and could tell at a glance that she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
He followed her into the room and asked her:
"What's wrong? You're not happy."
"No."
Lu Miao muttered softly.
Fu Jingyou rubbed his thumb against her wrinkled brows and frankly exposed her:
"I won't lie."
Lu Miao's face was puffed with resentment, so he had to confess honestly:
"I want to go out for a walk. I haven't been out for a long time. I'm almost dying of suffocation..."
She was feeling aggrieved, but Fu Jingyou smiled lovingly when he saw her:
"That's it?"
“That’s it!”
"It's too late today, wait two days."
Fu Jingyou nodded and gently coaxed her to wait a little longer:
"The Mechanical and Electrical Factory will have its annual holiday on the afternoon of the 25th. I'll accompany you then. We can go wherever you want to go."
Lu Miao held her lower lip, blinked her sparkling eyes and turned to look at him seriously:
"real?"
"When did I ever lie to you?"
"OK!"
Lu Miao felt relieved and immediately raised his eyebrows.
She has bright eyebrows and eyes, and her smile is particularly bright.
It's rare that he has regained some of his former vitality.
Fu Jingyou saw it all.
He went to the electromechanical factory every day, and the weather was bad recently, with snow everywhere making everything slippery, which really kept her from going out for a while.
Afraid that he would really suffocate the person, Fu Jingyou began to think seriously in his mind.
When the time comes, I will take her where to play and where to go.
It's time to have some fun.
…
Besides, on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the electromechanical factory was closed in the afternoon.
Fu Jingyou was pushing his bicycle and was stopped by someone as soon as he came out of the factory gate.
After selling out the goods he brought back from Guangzhou last time, he hasn't been seen in the alleys behind the factory since.
Heipi Lao Si waited for him for a while, but no one showed up. He had no choice but to dress up and run to the factory gate to wait for him.
Look, I was caught.
"Brother Xiaoliu!"
When Fu Jingyou saw him, his brows suddenly frowned.
Business is business, but private life is about peace and no one wants to be disturbed.
Heipi Laosi is in the social circle, how could he not understand these things?
But there was no way, he was anxious!
"Brother Xiaoliu, I know the rules, I know them all! I had no choice but to come here to find you."
Before, the dark-skinned Fourth Brother still maintained a cautious and tentative attitude.
After one collaboration, his attitude changed drastically this time, and he called me "brother" affectionately.
