The family, which was not rich to begin with, became even poorer.
"Your tattoo is a sticker, right?"
Liu Huabao looked incredulous, "Brother, how did you know?"
"When you came up from the field, you lowered the sleeves of your clothes and I saw it."
Liu Huabao said somewhat embarrassedly: "I was afraid that there were so many of you, and you were celebrities, so you must be very rich, so..."
Li Xuran was touched by his cuteness: "That's why you were so irritable that day. You were worried about the damage to the crops in the field, and you were also afraid that we would not be responsible."
Liu Huabao didn't say anything. Perhaps it was because he was driving an electric car and the cold wind on the road was a bit choking, which made his nose sore.
Li Xuran praised him: "I have been doing farm work here for two months, and I have just experienced a little bit of the tiredness of farmers. You are only 20 years old, but you can do so much farm work for your family and take on family responsibilities. It's really great!"
After investigation, the aunt from the neighboring village spontaneously mobilized more than 30 villagers to plant together.
The teenagers breathed a sigh of relief and the pressure of planting was relieved.
Pei Xu's room became the venue for the meeting. On the computer screen was a diagram of the water-fertilizer integrated drip irrigation system designed by Pei Xu. After his introduction, others still didn't understand.
Cheng Enyue stared at the screen for a while and said, "The separation of majors is like a few Alps. I feel it's a bit complicated."
Pei Xu said: "The main pipelines are mainly PE pipes, drip irrigation pipes, filters, fertilization systems, and control systems. I have already negotiated with the manufacturers. Half of the payment will be made tomorrow and we will start shipping. A few of us, including my old comrades, will proceed with the planting. We will start laying from the planted areas first."
Song Yifan immediately grasped the point and asked with a gloomy look in his eyes, "How much is it in total?"
"More than 690,000."
"It's so expensive!" The finance guy was instantly shocked and stood up suddenly.
Li Xuran smiled and pulled him to sit down: "Brother Xu stabbed the financial artery with his knife, and blood splattered everywhere."
Song Yifan covered his chest and said, "My heart hurts so much, I feel like I'm bleeding heavily. Please give me a quick-acting heart-saving pill."
Li Xuran handed him a few grapes.
Pei Xu joked: "Our family, which was not rich to begin with, has become even poorer."
Cheng Enyue smiled and said, "It's okay. We don't have money to buy vegetables, so I'll go pick some wild vegetables and fry them for you. If that doesn't work, there are a few wastelands in the small mountain village where we grow vegetables. They are full of sweet potato leaves, so we won't have to worry about vegetables."
Jiang Lin gave a thumbs up: "My brother Yue is still the most powerful one."
After the rain stopped, the fields were muddy but not so cold. The villagers worked together and were busy.
Aunt Xu was chatting with Aunt Liu from the next village. "We are very busy now. The government has a free-range chicken project to benefit farmers. Our village is planning to do this project. Do you want to join us?"
Aunt Liu said, "It's unreliable. What if the government doesn't keep its word and doesn't help us sell the chickens after we've fattened them up? It would be a huge loss if we can't sell so many chickens."
Aunt Lin also joined the discussion: "Xiao Xu said that if we agree to raise chickens, even if the government doesn't help us sell them, we can sell them ourselves." She pointed to the photography teachers on the photography field and said: "Those who filmed the show promised to teach us how to sell goods through live broadcast."
Aunt Qian said with great interest: "Live streaming to sell goods? I know all about it. I can see it on my phone every day. There are people selling everything. But these jobs are done by young people. They are handsome and beautiful, and people watch and sell. Old people like us don't want to watch."
Uncle Ming smiled naively and said, "We have to give it a try to see if it works. The kids came home for the New Year and taught me how to top up my phone bill online. I learned it and now I don't have to ride my bike to the street to go to the business hall to top up. If young people are willing to teach, we will learn. If we can really make money, it will be a great thing. We have been poor for decades because of farming. Xiaoxu said that we need new developments."
Aunt Qian said, "Young people are smarter than us. Pei Xu studied in Beijing for so many years and has a doctorate degree! He must know more than us. We have only seen what Beijing looks like on TV."
Aunt Liu looked in the direction of the teenagers for a while, and suddenly she felt confident. "When you plan to raise chickens, let us know so that we can learn more about it. If it's feasible, I'll also raise chickens. I can't go against the money."
Aunt Qiu agreed enthusiastically: "A few young people will organize a meeting for us at the village committee. You can come and listen then."
The manufacturer was very happy to send Pei Xu PE pipes, drip irrigation pipes, water and fertilizer tanks and other equipment.
Song Yifan transferred the money to the other party's company bank account in person, and then pretended to be miserable and said: "Brothers, from tonight on, we have to eat bran and wild vegetables. We are as poor as Brother Xu's grandmother's house."
Pei Xu carried the PE pipe and said with a smile: "My grandma's house is only a few miles away from our village. This description is not poor enough."
Jiang Lin added: "Boss Song, why don't we also learn to grow vegetables, and grow whatever vegetables have high yields, and supply them to Boss Pei."
Boss Pei said jokingly: "It's over. The chairman has been isolated by the company's directors."
Xiang Chuzhe suddenly remembered and asked, "Brother Xu, when can we go to get our company's business license?"
Pei Xu said, "I have received the notification text message and can go to collect it, but haven't I been too busy recently? I think getting a business license is a big deal, representing that our company has been officially established. It would be more ceremonial for all of us to go and collect it."
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Boss Pei's sense of ceremony is to invite us to a one-yuan-a-skewer hotpot dinner after receiving the business license?"
Pei Xu teased him: "Mr. Jiang, do you understand again?"
Jiang Lin said proudly: "I know exactly what's going on in your mind."
Pei Xu put down the PE tube, looked at him meaningfully, and said in his heart: "Then I am confused, have you figured it out?"
"Dig and dig in the big land, and you will find gold and silver treasures." Song Yifan dug the hole vigorously. Li Xuran measured the distance between the plants with a bamboo pole of fixed length. He picked up a dark red rose seedling and asked with a smile: "Why are you still looking so sad? It's an investment. You pay money in the early stage and collect money in the later stage."
"It's a financial tragedy. Hundreds of thousands of dollars went to someone else's account with just a flick of a finger. Now I feel like a miser."
Li Xuran took the shovel from his hand and said, "You are the God of Wealth of our company. Make more money and make the company bigger and stronger."
"Li Xuran, our show will be airing after we return from the Spring Festival. If the show doesn't get good ratings and becomes a flop, what are your plans after the show ends?"
Li Xuran tapped Song Yifan's forehead with his fingertips and joked, "Don't say that. Brother Xu will get mad if he hears it. To be honest, I feel much calmer. I don't even miss my life in Beijing anymore because it's very fulfilling."
Song Yifan nodded and said, "I agree. Life in Beijing is just as tiring as life here. But here when I'm tired from work, I'll feel better after a good sleep. Do you understand what I mean?"
Li Xuran said, "I understand. How about you stay here and rent some land with me to start your own media after the show is over?"
Song Yifan laughed and shouted, "Chairman, someone is poaching us."
Jiang Lin looked at the equipment all over the floor, his mind went blank. Science was not his strong point, so he could only do odd jobs.
Pei Zongli pushed two dump trucks over and said, "Let's transport the main water pump and some pipes first."
The two repeatedly adjusted the direction of the suction pipe, but the pipe was too long and too heavy to transport. Jiang Lin smiled awkwardly and said, "Uncle, I'll get someone over here."
Cheng Enyue looked at a thick water pipe, retracted the stem from his mouth, and tried to lift it up, but it was really heavy: "The wall of this water pipe is too thick. It's so heavy. Could the boss sell it to us by pound?"
Pei Zongli and Jiang Lin took their positions, and the three worked together to lift the several-meter-long water suction pipe. Pei Zongli explained: "This water suction pipe is very important. It connects the water reservoir and the main pump. When the water is pumped up, the suction force is very strong. If the quality is not up to standard, we will have to come here in the middle of the night to repair the water pipe."
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Uncle, we can't listen to that."
Pei Xu followed pushing the pressure pump. The construction drawings were engraved in his mind like sculptures. The knowledge he learned in college finally ushered in the most solid theoretical practice at this moment.
Zhao Sumei brought a ladder and placed it on the moss-covered outer wall of the reservoir. Jiang Lin looked curiously at the reservoir, which was built at the foot of the mountain and was only the size of a house, and said, "It doesn't look very big. Can the water be used?"
Pei Xu climbed up the ladder and said, "I promise I can make you drink like a giant."
Zhao Sumei said with relief: "When new crystals were dug near our home, this old reservoir was far from home, so your grandfather said he wanted to demolish it. Fortunately, I insisted on not demolishing it."
Pei Xu shouted, "Master Jiang, aren't you curious? Come up quickly."
The three people below set up the water pipes, and Jiang Lin and Pei Xu stood beside the reservoir to catch it. Jiang Lin said in horror: "If I get pushed down, I will definitely pull you down."
Pei Xu said seriously: "If you fall, I will jump in to save you without hesitation."
Jiang Lin teased, "If you didn't say this, I wouldn't doubt you. I'm a valuable creditor, so I have to be on guard against you kicking me to pay off the debt."
After installing the suction pipe, Jiang Lin weakly stepped into the dump truck and said proudly, "Chairman, you know, I followed you to farm when I was still a star. Isn't it too much to push me back?"
Pei Xu pushed the cart and teased him: "Golden creditor, I just missed the opportunity to pay off the debt. I will miss it when I pass by the pond later."
Jiang Lin shouted, "This is terrible!"
Primary and secondary school students are on winter vacation and have joined the planting army. Xiang Chuzhe helped to fix the ground clamps for the drip tubes while reminding them: "Measure the distance between the rose seedlings and tea seedlings, and don't mix them up."
Pei Yingying said proudly: "Brother, I am the top student in math in our class. Yesterday I heard Brother Pei Xu say that you cut the pipe to the wrong length, so you came here to fix the clamp."
Cheng Enyue next door laughed like crazy and said, "Chuzhe, I'm not trying to cause trouble, but I can't stand this. I have to find a set of elementary school math papers to compare with her and save some face."
"You're not a good person either." Xiang Chuzhe complained.
It's really not his fault. Pei Zongli didn't know which connection he had borrowed the cutting machine from, but the borrowed cutting machine was specially used to cut metal pipes such as steel pipes. It was a bit of a waste of equipment to cut droppers. Xiang Chuzhe was afraid that the high-speed rotating cutter would accidentally slice his hand and cut the dropper to the wrong length.
