Rebirth Autumn Returns to the Countryside

"Xiao Qiu, I'm your sister-in-law Wang. Your brother Wang may not have explained it clearly. How many pears do you have at home? Our fruit shop can take them all."

"Are you worried about the price? Don't worry, I'll give you supermarket prices!"

"Xiao Qiu, I am still your sister-in-law Wang. If your pear trees have few fruits, I will take them over. It will be enough for us to eat."

……

Here comes another family that is concerned about snow pear, and their attitude is quite determined.

Leng Yanqiu thought that there were about a dozen pear trees next to the vegetable field, and the specific output was still unknown, so why not sell them first?

“What’s the price of the boutique?”

"Ding ding", the message she sent was replied to immediately again.

"16.8 dollars."

"Ding ding", followed by a photo of a price tag stuck on the plastic wrap of similar snow pears in a fruit shop.

Leng Yanqiu's interest faded all of a sudden: "We don't have many trees at home, so there really aren't enough to sell. If Sister Wang likes to eat them, you can pick a few more for her later. It won't cost you anything."

"Don't, sister!" Brother Wang's voice bombarded her with a series of voice messages.

"How about 20?"

"22! 25-30 yuan per pound! It can't be any higher, my dear. It would be a shame if you ate all these delicious pears yourself! Just listen to Brother Wang, we'll charge 30 yuan first. If they sell well in the store, I'll give you more!"

"OK!" Brother Wang finally got an expression of agreement.

"Look, wife..." Brother Wang showed the screen of his mobile phone to Sister Wang, "This girl is obsessed with money, but there is nothing we can do. Her dates and pears are all delicious. If you eat hers, it won't be considered a treat if you eat from other places. It will be a pain in the mouth."

Mrs. Wang was a cautious person. She took the phone and checked it over and over again to make sure there was nothing unusual before returning it to the owner.

Sellers are not actually afraid of high purchase prices. They can just set the selling price high, right? What they worry about most is poor quality. If the fruit doesn’t taste good, you won’t attract repeat customers no matter how cheap you sell it.

The high-end version of his leek dumplings is made with leeks from Leng Yanqiu's family. The price is calculated by the piece, not the pound or the piece. A piece of premium leek dumpling costs 9.8 yuan, and a box is cut into eight pieces.

Even at this price, the demand is still insufficient! How many school-age children are crying out for food but cannot get it? Brother Wang drives his truck of fresh leeks back to the city and washes, cuts and mixes them all. Aren’t the poor high school students impatient?

Is it too much for top students who are competing against thousands of people to spend dozens of yuan for breakfast? You are still making it impossible for the poor people to have breakfast!

"I've got a good idea!" Mrs. Wang suddenly had an idea. "Tomorrow we'll put a few boxes of premium red dates on the breakfast stand to compensate those students who can't have premium chive dumplings. This way, we don't have to feel sorry for them every day."

Snow pears were not available for the time being, so the few that Brother Wang brought back were all eaten by his family. Sister Wang even sent two back to her parents' home along with other fruits. As a result, her brother's wife, who had just become pregnant and was vomiting all the time, stopped vomiting after eating the pears from Leng's family, and said that her stomach finally felt better.

The two pears that were originally intended to be presented to the old parents ended up in the mouths of the brother's wife. Mrs. Wang also got the old mother's advice, so she had to continue offering the delicious snow pears no matter what.

Otherwise, why would he bombard Leng Yanqiu’s WeChat messages repeatedly?

Therefore, Leng Yanqiu was still very busy when she returned home. She took out the whole roll of food bags she had just purchased, picked a batch of snow pears and packed some dates in advance, and left the specific weighing to Xinxin to figure out for the time being.

There are also walnuts, which are now covered with a layer of green skin and cannot be peeled directly by hand.

Leng Yanqiu chose the simplest and quickest method, which was to throw it into the stove and burn it until the skin was charred and then clean it.

I regretted not taking the time to give Teacher Fu some brain training.

Grandpa Leng called out through the integrated cabinet: "Qiu'er, our village secretary called everyone on the loudspeaker this morning, asking everyone who wants to use harvesters and threshers to sign up together so that we can arrange the machines and schedule them. Remember to sign up!"

"Okay, leave all the farm matters to me." Leng Yanqiu was sweating while making a fire in the back room.

Grandpa Leng hesitated again, and kept thinking about it, and several strands of his white hair fell out.

The power of the family...

"Qiu'er!" Grandpa Leng saw his granddaughter coming out of the back room and passing by the door, and hurriedly called out to her.

Leng Yanqiu took a few steps back, leaned back and turned his head: "Hmm?"

"Qiu'er, you have no experience. When you meet Secretary Ma, remember to explain clearly that our corn fields are all contracted out to people who operate machines. We sell the corn directly to them, and we also crush the stalks in the fields to fertilize the land. We have to harvest the sorghum ourselves..."

"I don't plan to sell the corn now." Leng Yanqiu became serious and stood straight at the entrance of the invisible door. "Our corn harvest can't be low. I want to keep it..."

"That won't work!" Grandpa Leng interrupted Leng Yanqiu hastily, "You don't understand even if I tell you. How do you know how much corn we can harvest from ten acres of corn? It's about 10,000 catties or nearly 20,000 catties. Where can you put it? How much can we eat? If you want to keep it, then just keep 50 or 60 catties!"

Leng Yanqiu's voice did not rise: "Grandpa, you are worried about the money from selling corn, right? How much do you think our corn can be sold for? I promise to give you more than that."

Grandpa Leng's face turned dark red, and his dry cough problem returned.

Grandma Leng hurried to smooth things over: "Why are you so loud? It's like a quarrel between a grandfather and a grandson. Speak nicely. Qiu'er, your grandfather is not worried about you taking the money. He is afraid that the harvest from the fields will not keep up with the expenditure. You don't know that it costs money to buy seeds, water, fertilize and spray herbicides, the machine for harvesting corn cobs also costs money, the threshing costs money, and the breaking of the stalks also costs money. Your grandfather can't do anything now, and he is so anxious!"

"Don't worry, both of you." Leng Yanqiu still looked lukewarm, but his tone was firm, "Didn't we agree to leave everything to me? You two just wait at home to collect the money. You don't have to get involved, whether it's buying or selling."

She went out carrying two large bags full of black walnuts.

Grandpa Leng lowered his voice: "She, she is a girl after all..."

The sound of "swish, swish, swish" was heard under the jujube tree. Leng Yanqiu disliked the black appearance of the walnuts, so he put his mobile phone beside the sink and started a round of scrubbing.

There is something unusual about the peripheral vision.

She slowly turned her head and raised her eyes. A wild rabbit also turned its head and raised its eyes. The rabbit continued to chew a jujube tree twig in its mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Leng Yanqiu asked, holding up a clean walnut and looking at it in the sunlight.

Wild rabbit - keep chewing.

At this moment, the phone's screen suddenly lit up.

Caller ID: Director Leng.

"Hello, I'm Leng Yanqiu."

"Hello, classmate Leng Yanqiu. I need to confirm with you on the phone in advance. If the family agrees to your conditions, you will not pursue criminal or civil liability on behalf of the Leng family, right?"
