C199 (2/2)
Zi Peng felt very apologetic when he saw that Lixia was angry over this matter. He quickly made a promise:
”Sister, don't worry. I promise I won't forget it next year. If I forget it again, you'll ignore me forever. You can break off all ties with me, okay?”
After Zipeng finished speaking, he looked at Lixia with a charming smile. She greeted him with a sweet smile. At this moment, both he and she felt extremely happy and close to each other. He held her hand tightly on the handlebar. After a while, Lixia said,
”Brother, little sister believes what big brother said.”
Zi Peng looked at the sincere look on Lixia's face, and he liked her even more in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said:
”Alright, let's continue with what we talked about last time. We have never had a chance to see each other since we moved to our homes; we have never had a chance to work together as a group; we have never had a chance to laugh together. ”
After listening to Zi Peng's words, Lixia felt the same way. She went on to say with deep emotion:
”Brother, I really do feel nostalgic towards the past. Now that you've planted your own land, it's not as interesting as it used to be. ”
Zi Peng was also very nostalgic about his past work in production team. Listening to what Licha had said, he could not help but sigh with emotion.
”That's right. People always say 'after 30 years of hard work, you returned to before liberation in a single night'. This change was too fast? The changes are unacceptable, and the changes are unavoidable. ”
Hearing Zi Peng's words, she deeply remembered the scene when she was working in the production team. She looked forward to and missed that life even more. She looked at his strong and handsome face and said emotionally:
”Brother, previously when I was working in the production team, I still felt that there was something amiss. However, when I work alone, I feel that there is no meaning in life. I was either beaten or scolded at home. I feel so tired of this life; I feel so bored; I feel so sorry for this life. ”
At this moment, Zi Peng's mood was completely immersed in the scenes from the past. When Lixia had finished, he continued:
”Sister, after we split the land and went into the household, I sold dishes together with Old Yin and Liu Fu from our village's Two. When I returned the next year, I planted five curtains of ginseng in my own yard. Before I planted the ginseng, I told my uncle what I thought. He had worked in a large group of ginseng field s for many years, so he understood the growth habits of ginseng, but he did not agree to it. He said, ”Our land is made of loess mixed with stones, and will not grow ginseng. Besides, you don't know anything about the cause of ginseng disease. You can't plant ginseng in a place like this. ”If they're lucky, then our team members' land is even better than ours. Why didn't they fall?” Actually, what my grandpa said wasn't unreasonable. However, I think that I must successfully plant a path for the courtyard to grow ginseng in this loess and gravel field. ”
After listening to Zi Peng's story, she felt that it was very interesting. She looked into his sincere eyes and took the opportunity to ask:
”Brother, what happened next?”
Zi Peng heard the question from Lixia, so he carried on with what he had just said.
”Later, when I didn't listen to anyone, I picked up the loess with a pick and sifted through the sieve, picking out more than 400 pieces of stones and stones. After that, I went up the mountain to skin the mountain, and used an ox cart to pull back more than 50 cars of humus and mix them in it. Then I cooked the pigsty dung and raised it in the ground. Finally, I hit the ginseng bed. ”
After listening to Zi Peng's words, Lixia praised from the bottom of her heart,
”Brother, you're really good. Even Tonghua City would not be able to find a second ginseng planted in the yellow ground. ”
Zi Peng was elated when he heard the praise Lixia had given him. He looked at her charming face and continued:
”Sister, after these tasks are done, I will go to the Finance Department to borrow 500 yuan to buy 20 kilos of two-year-old ginseng seed. After the ginseng was planted, it started to play with the ginseng shed. Needless to say, after summer of the second year, the rate of ginseng sprouting reached above 98. This time, when my grandpa saw it, he was convinced. ”However, don't be too happy too early. There will be more troubles in the future.”
Hearing this, Lixia could not help but ask:
”What difficulties will there be in the future?”
Zi Peng patiently explained to Lixia after he heard her question.
”Little sister, even you don't understand. Ginseng is a very pampered medicinal herb with a very high morbidity. Besides, there were more germs at home, many times more than in the mountains. If I can't keep up with my technique, I'll die. ”
Lixia held Zi Peng's hand on the handlebars, praising him further:
”Just with big brother's talent, there won't be any problems with the ginseng.”
Zi Peng was very happy to hear the affirmation and praise from Lixia. He went on endlessly:
”Sister, I'm going to Xinhua Bookstore to buy two books on the prevention and treatment of ginseng diseases and insect pests. I'm going to nibble on them every day.” I will give the ginseng medicine according to the book's request, but don't tell me that the ginseng really has no problems. ”
Lixia looked at Zi Peng with her big, soulful eyes, and said with emotion,
”Big brother is a very considerate person, you have to be serious in everything you do.” Therefore, you plant ginseng in the yellow soil, is unprecedented. Now that it's a success, do you think you can be unhappy? ”
Zi Peng's memories of this incident were still fresh in his mind, and the more he spoke, the happier he became. When Lixia had finished, he continued:
”Sister, I had the ginseng for three years, until the fall of 1987, out of a look, he! That's great! The big ones were all more than 4 taels of silver, the yield of one curtain of ginseng was more than 60 jin, 5 curtain of ginseng had a total harvest of more than 330 jin. He had only bought 20 Jin of plants, and in the past 3 years he had increased it by 16 times. What a miracle. The loan was 500 yuan and is now selling for more than 5,000 yuan, a tenfold increase in investment, ”he said.
