Good mountains, good water, good people

Gu's mother is also someone who is used to these jobs. Every morning, her son's shop kills a batch of fresh chickens and sends them to sell. She also gets up early every morning to help kill the chickens.Just seeing the chicken feathers piled up next to it, Mother Gu felt a little pity and said: "In the past, there were people in the village who collected chicken feathers and duck feathers, but now no one collects such things."

They kill dozens of chickens here every day, and the chicken feathers are packed in burlap bags, and a large bag can be packed in a day.But now no one collects these things. At most, they pick up a few beautiful ones and make them into chicken feather poles. One chicken feather pole can be used for a whole year, and the rest of the chicken feathers are thrown away as garbage. up.

"That's right, chickens were only killed once during Chinese New Year, and the chicken feathers were even reluctant to be thrown away. They were dried and waited for someone to collect them. A handful of chicken feathers can be sold for one or two cents. Now, alas, no one has collected this kind of chicken for a long time. It's gone." Second Aunt Gu also said with emotion.

The two sisters-in-law talked about the old days while working. Who would have thought that their lives would be so good now?

"What are you talking about? Are you talking so happily?" When Gu Changning came over, he saw his mother and his aunt, second uncle and cousin gathered around to pluck chicken feathers, so he also squatted down.Second Uncle Gu took a look and saw that the eldest nephew had also come, and hurriedly said, "Hey, don't come, so as not to get your hands dirty."

"I'm afraid my hands will get dirty. I'll wash them off after a while." Ever since returning home to farm, Gu Changning has never done the work of washing pigpens and digging fertilizer. He used to have a little cleanliness, but now All were healed.

But when it comes to cleanliness, he thinks of a man who loves cleanliness.

"Just now we were saying that it's a pity to throw away so many chicken feathers, but no one wants to keep them." Gu's mother said.

"It's not easy. If you think it's a pity, let's put it away and make shuttlecocks and chicken feather poles." Ever since he finished weaving the baskets, Gu Changning was worried that he couldn't find work for the old people in the village. Is there a ready-made one?

"No one buys this kind of thing now, right?" Mother Gu asked a little uncertainly.

"Yes, why is there no more? We can make it and sell it online, or give it to customers as a gift." The more Gu Changning thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good?Next time the store can also hold a lucky draw to give away chicken feathers?Shuttlecock?

Gu Changning told his family about this idea, and everyone agreed.

So many chickens have killed a lot of chicken intestines, livers and kidneys. They are reluctant to throw them away. They are all picked out and washed. Some people like to eat these things, and they will bake them and sell them to customers who like to eat.

Second Aunt Gu was flipping through chicken intestines, remembering that her nephew liked to eat this food, she smiled and said, "Don't you like to eat chicken intestines? I will clean up so many chicken intestines in a while, sister-in-law, you cook them tonight and fry them." Give it to Ah Ning." After the youngest son started a new career, Second Aunt Gu became more cheerful, knowing that if it wasn't for the help of her eldest nephew, her youngest son's supper stall wouldn't be able to run so smoothly. It can be opened, and the business can still be so good.

After gaining this new understanding, Second Aunt Gu also smiled sincerely at this eldest nephew, exaggerating her nephew's strength and kindness in everything she said.

Gu Changning is not used to his second aunt's recent changes.

"No, no, you guys just keep it for sale. The chickens we slaughtered in the morning still have a lot of chicken intestines and kidneys, picked them up and cleaned them, and I'll boil a plate for him to dip in soy sauce for later in the evening." Gu Mother knows that her son likes to eat these things. Every time she kills a chicken, she is reluctant to throw it away.

If the younger son is at home, the younger son also likes to eat these things.

In the past, their family only killed one chicken during the Chinese New Year. One chicken was only a chicken kidney and a small chicken intestine, which was not enough for the brothers. But now it is different. The family kills so many chickens every day, and the chickens picked Intestines and chicken kidneys can burn a small pot.

After helping my aunt pluck the chicken feathers for a while, Mama Gu had to rush to make dinner again.

Gu Changning himself had other things to do, so he left with his mother, leaving behind his second uncle, second aunt, and little cousin to deal with the dozens of chickens that had been killed.

At the end of May, the senior three students finished their final courses and entered the stage of self-study before the exam. Students can choose to stay in school to study, or go home to study by themselves.When Gu Changning drove to the school to pick up his younger brother Gu Taisheng, he also brought back two other children in the village who were in their third year of high school. They also came back with several large bags of luggage and books.

Knowing that her youngest son was coming home that day, Mother Gu made a big pot of chicken soup and made a lot of delicious dishes for her son to eat when he came back.

"I'm back, I was thinking about why you two brothers haven't come back yet."

Just when the dinner was ready and served on the table, I saw the two sons coming back carrying things one after the other. Mother Gu wanted to help the youngest son carry the bag, but the youngest son refused, "Mom, I'll do it myself. "

"Okay, okay, go and put away your things, wash your hands and come over to eat."

There are a lot of people eating in their family now, and they usually wait until they are all ready to start the meal. It happens that the two sons come home before the meal, which saves everyone from waiting for the two of them.

The two brothers went back to the house with their big and small luggage and put them away. After washing their hands, they came out to eat with everyone.

When he got home and ate the soup made by his mother himself, Gu Taisheng drank two big bowls of chicken soup, ate three bowls of rice and ate a lot of vegetables. He didn't stop chopsticks until his stomach couldn't hold it anymore.

After dinner, Gu Changning had a conversation with his younger brother, "When you come back these few days, you mainly review some of the past knowledge points, and summarize, what are the difficulties and what you often do wrong, and see you next time. What to do when you come across such a question, set aside a certain amount of time every day to come out and brush up the questions, and maintain the speed and feel of answering the questions."

"Don't put too much psychological burden on yourself. Believe in yourself. You have worked hard for so long, and you must have enough knowledge reserves. Whether you can do well in the exam is another very important factor, which is psychological."

"So, believe in yourself, you can do it!"

"Hey, thank you brother!" Gu Taisheng's nervous mood dissipated a lot under his elder brother's comforting words.

"In the past few days, your main task is to eat and sleep well. The rest of the time is like reviewing and brushing up questions in school. I don't need you to help me with the work. Your main task now is to do the next one. You passed the exam. Take a little time at night to go out for a run and do some exercise. If you encounter something you don’t understand or feel anxious, come and talk to me. On the days of your exam, my father and I will take turns to send you to school Go to the exam. Pull yourself together, young man!" Gu Changning patted his younger brother on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Definitely!" Gu Taisheng raised his head and chest, thinking that he was the most confident cub in their village.

In the next few days, their family members did what they had to do, and everything was as usual.

Only Gu Xiaodi who came back home studied in the study every morning after getting up early, and his daily routine was the same as when he was studying at school.Gu’s mother knew that her youngest son was going to prepare for the college entrance examination, so she cooked soup for him in different styles every day. The rest of the family knew that the child was going to prepare for the college entrance examination, and their voices were much quieter than before when they returned home every day.

When Gu Changning came back from outside, he would also care about how his younger brother's review was going, chat with him, and help him relieve the pressure before the exam.

At the beginning of June, the peaches on their mountain were also red. The peaches were hanging on the branches. The big ones were bigger than an adult’s fist, and the small ones were bigger than a child’s fist. The pointed part of the ripe peaches It's pink, and the rest is pink.

"Crack-"

Picking a red peach on the branch, Gu Changning casually rubbed it on his clothes and took a big bite. The peach in his mouth was crisp and sweet, and his mouth was full of juice, "Wow!" Delicious!

Kacha, another bite, Kacha, another mouthful... until I finished eating a peach, and finally there was only one core left in my hand, and there was still water from eating the peach just now.

Their peaches are really delicious too!

Looking at the biggest peach on the branch, Gu Changning told himself in his heart that the biggest one was to keep the one that sold for money, but he couldn't resist picking the biggest peach after all, he didn't eat it, Leave it to his parents to eat!

And at this time, the most indispensable thing is to take out the mobile phone and take pictures of the peaches, from the long-range to the close-up, from the peach tree to the peach, from a large bunch of peaches to a big peach, 360 degrees without dead ends, their home Peaches are just that!

After the photos were taken, I first picked a group and sent them to Boss Xiao, and then picked some and sent them to the customer service girl.Then it was sent to the circle of friends. Below is a nine-square grid with a line of words: The peaches on our mountain are ripe!Accept reservations!A box of ten catties, a minimum order of two boxes, a limit of ten boxes, 128/box.

As soon as he clicked send, Boss Xiao's call came in.

"I'm not lying to you, our peaches are really amazing! I have never eaten such delicious peaches in my life! I can send you a batch of goods tomorrow... What? Pick the biggest one for you?... "This Gu Changning is a little unhappy, I picked you the biggest peach, what should I do with the smaller peach?

No one knows that I have such a big peach here, are you blind as a spectator?

However, when he heard the price quoted by Boss Xiao, Gu Changning hesitated a little. Finally, after Boss Xiao increased the price, he agreed to Boss Xiao's unscrupulous request of only Da Tao, "Okay, okay, you can buy it tomorrow morning." Send someone over to pull it, that's all right, all right, don't worry, I will pick the best peaches for you!"

After repeatedly reassuring Boss Xiao, that Boss finally hung up the phone.

But as soon as the call ended, another call came in. Needless to say, he must have ordered peaches from him.

This day, Gu Changning's cell phone never stopped. They either sent messages or called him, and without exception, they all asked him to buy peaches. His former boss called him and ordered a deal with him. A hundred boxes of peaches.

One hundred boxes?Ex-boss, you really didn’t switch to selling fruit, did you?

After picking all the peaches in the grove of their family, I am afraid that there will not be enough peaches for a thousand catties, so there must be no one hundred boxes. In the end, when it comes to fifty boxes, they will be shipped in two times. His former boss is "reluctant " hung up the phone.
