In the spring, the village became busy. First, we continued to help Liu Ben build a small square that had been paved and the bricks and cement were completely dry. We cleaned up the various fitness equipment that had been delivered, and moved them to the place where they were suitable for use without affecting the environment. beautiful place.A small canal was dug for ornamental use at the edge of the square, and now a fence has to be erected, with beautiful lamps on the fence, so that it won’t be all dark at night.

The gazebo on the square has been built, leaving a large area in front, with stone tables, chairs, and stone benches beside it, so that many old people who are free can come to sit, chat and engage in activities at night.

Old buildings such as the Liu Family Courtyard and the Earth Temple have been abandoned for a long time, and finally the land is almost repaired. The bleached and peeled pillars have been repainted with bright colors, and the damaged wooden doors and windows have been replaced with new ones. Carved doors and windows made of high-quality wood, new doors and windows are made of hard material, at least they can be carried for decades without breaking.

The house that Liu Ben built for himself is very fast, but it will take some time to complete. However, the hotel-style apartment with a relatively simple structure has already been built, and it is in the decoration process. It should be finished within half a month. Let the foreign employees check in with their bags.

Part of Liu Ben’s work is monthly, and part of it is daily, because in spring, many villagers will need some time to plant their own crops from time to time, and white jade radish is one of them. Next month, they will start planting Wushuang rice. At that time, Liu Zhu and the others will have to turn on the agricultural machinery, and the hosts who need to sow seeds that day will also need to help, because there are only a few who operate the agricultural machinery, but there are many people in the village who need to plant, so they just stand there and wait. If not, it may not be possible to plant the entire village's fields in a month.

"Be careful!" Liu Ben shouted with his head raised.

"what?"

At this time, a villager was standing at the top of a tall ladder, carefully holding the big scissors, cutting off the big round pine cones from the tree one by one, and then throwing them down, although he and the ladder are now tied with safety nets. rope, but no one wants to experience the accident of falling from a height unexpectedly.

Liu Ben shouted louder: "Be careful!"

Standing tall, the villagers who heard it clearly responded: "Okay!"

The villagers who are responsible for collecting pine cones are paid on a monthly basis, because the forest is too large, and there are ripe pine cones that can be collected almost every day. Of course, you can also wait for the pine cones on many trees to mature before collecting them together, but in this way It may not be possible to collect in one day, and the hands and feet will be sore.

"Aben, Aben!" Someone ran towards this place from a distance, shouting excitedly while running: "The archway at the entrance of our village has been erected, and the patriarch asked me to ask you to see it!"

"So fast?" Liu Ben was also very excited when he heard the news, and hurried to the entrance of the village with the visitor.

The villagers who were collecting pine nuts had heard that Liu Ben would donate an archway to the village, but it was Chinese New Year, and the stonemasons should rest, so they dragged on for a while, but they did not expect it to be put up today.

The main road at the entrance of the village is not too wide, but it is not bad compared with other villages. After listening to the advice of the mason, Liu Ben chose a large archway with four pillars and three rooms, that is to say, the archway is supported by two pillars on the left and right. There are three spaces between the pillar and the pillar that can pass people. The middle one is large enough to pass two cars side by side, and there are two small spaces on the left and right, which can pass people and motorcycles.

Liu Ben walked quickly to the entrance of the village, and looked up at the beautiful stone gate building together with groups of villagers.

The four large pillars are carved with fine cloud patterns, which are really beautiful. The foundation under the pillars is deeply embedded in the ground. The left and right sides of the Minglou on the pillars are decorated with hollow carvings, while the main ridge of the Minglou is covered by red cloth. , a festive big red flower ribbon hung down on both sides of the red cloth, which made people's eyes shine.

"Aben is here!"

"Aben, go in quickly, we are waiting for you!"

The villagers found Liu Ben who was looking up from the outside with them, and hurriedly pushed him in.

"Xiao Ben, come here quickly!" Wang Fengjing also saw Liu Ben, hurried over, and dragged Liu Ben to Liu Yibiao in the middle of the encirclement.

The wrinkles on Liu Yibiao's face today were full of smiles. He looked at Liu Ben and handed out a red rope he was holding: "Here, you will pull the red cloth later."

After seeing what it was, Liu Ben quickly waved his hands: "No, no, grandpa, you should come!"

"The archway you donated, what am I talking about? Don't want my old face?"

"Grandpa, you are the patriarch, of course you have to come."

"You come!"

"Come on!"

"Oh!" Wang Fengjing patted the two of them: "It's fine if you come together, don't be silly, everyone is in a hurry!"

At this time, some of the villagers also shouted: "Patriarch, you start quickly!"

"Yeah yeah!"

……

Liu Yibiao and Liu Ben looked at each other, pulled each other aside, and then looked at the villagers.

Liu Yibiao made a hand gesture, and the noisy villagers fell silent tacitly.

"The ancestors of our Liu family have developed here for more than two hundred years, and the generations are endless. The population is prosperous, and the descendants of the Liu family are hardworking and honest...

Today, Liu Ben, a member of the clan, returned to his hometown to support the construction of our village. First, in the past six months, he opened a number of factories and provided many jobs for the villagers in our village. For the beautiful scenic spots and rest and fitness facilities, now, the archway in this village donated by Liu Ben himself has also been completed..."

Liu Yibiao said some words of emotional memory, and finally looked around at all the villagers present, and said seriously: "In addition, Liu Ben will continue to support all the villagers in the village to plant better Wushuang rice. Here, all the villagers will become rich no matter what Or poverty, I hope you can keep in mind the teachings of your ancestors, stay true to your original aspirations, work hard, and work hard to build a better village!"

The villagers were moved by the patriarch's words and applauded one after another.

"Patriarch, we will not change!"

"Patriarch, we will definitely work hard, and we will never be lazy just because we have money!"

"Patriarch, don't worry, I will definitely take care of the juniors in our family."

"If the brats are lazy, I'll beat their butts!"

The villagers all loudly supported the words of the patriarch.

In the firm words of the villagers, Liu Ben and Liu Yibiao slowly pulled down the red cloth that covered them.

The big village name in the middle of the archway was revealed.

"Liu", "house", "village"

It turned out that the village was called Liuwu Village, Liu Ben thought, it was common and common.

At that time, Liu Ben went to communicate with the stonemason about what kind of material, the style of the archway, the complexity of the carving, etc. Afterwards, Liu Yibiao communicated with the specific content of the carving. Liu Ben really didn't know that the name of the village was Liuwu. Village, I thought it was called Liujia Village.

Of course, there is no essential difference between the two.

Eh wait!

Liu Ben took a closer look and found something wrong. Two small characters were engraved in the lower middle of the three characters "Liu", "House", and "Village".One is "ah" and the other is "li".

So the connection is——Liu ah Wuli Village.

Liu Ben: ...the local flavor came to me immediately.

Such a majestic and magnificent archway looks solemn in the ancient city, and then carved a "Liu Ah Wuli Village".

So weird.

Although the two characters are small, they are painted in red. People who don't regard them as one will not notice them at random, but they are still very obvious when they read carefully.

Liu Ben turned his head to look at Brother Cheng Zi, who was looking up in the crowd next to him, and asked him uncertainly, "Our village is called...?"

"Liu Wuli Village, what's the matter? That's right?" Liu Cheng's excited face was beaming, and when he heard Liu Ben's question, he gave him a suspicious look: "Aben, you have been in the village for so long, and you still don't know what the full name of the village is?"

Liu Ben: ...he really doesn't know.

Liu Ben scratched his head and saw that many people took pictures with their mobile phones and sent them to other relatives and friends who did not come to see them. He also took out his mobile phone and took a few pictures in various directions and sent them to You Ying and the village group.

Liu Ben: "I just found out the name of our village today. [picture]"

You Ying: "...Really, quite unique."

You Ying also felt that, at first glance, this solemn archway really doesn't match this casual name.

Liu Ben looked up and read it again, um, it's still a bit weird, but it's quite easy to read in the local dialect.

In the next few days, Liu Ben often passed by here, and every day he looked at it, it became more and more pleasing to the eye, and the name was engraved at the entrance of the village. It might seem strange at first, but after a long time, it has some characteristics of the village.

One day after dinner, Liu Yibiao called Liu Ben to stop and asked him, "How many contracts have you signed recently to grow Wushuang rice?"

"Let's see, there are hundreds of companies this month alone, and there should be a lot of companies thinking about it." Liu Ben took out his notebook. The new notebook he started using years ago has already recorded many things, including signing Each head of household who signed the contract and the number of acres to be planted.

"I've seen that seedlings will start in a few days. Those who haven't signed before then may not be able to make it in time. Please inform them again and tell them to hurry up if they want to sign." Liu Yibiao looked at the calendar, pondered for a while, and asked again Liu Ben: "With so many families, will the rice grown by then be enough to eat?"

"No problem, it will be resolved, so don't worry about it," Liu Ben patted his chest and assured: "At that time, we will make all agricultural and sideline products, such as rice milk, porridge, self-heating rice, etc. It's more expensive, hahaha!" Liu Ben smiled heartily.

"Hey, you learned from You Ying, right? You're getting better and better!" Liu Yibiao nodded Liu Ben's forehead.

Liu Ben scratched his head in embarrassment. This was indeed a suggestion You Ying gave him. Liu Ben didn't really care about anything. Even if he didn't care, the system had reminded him that it would be collected from the villagers this year. There will be a lot of unparalleled rice, and Liu Ben is also a little worried.

Liu Ben was worried, so he would naturally talk to You Ying about it.

You Ying suggested to him the idea of ​​making by-products and selling them in online stores.

You Ying: "You Guoguo used to drink that kind of brewed rice milk in the store before. It used ordinary rice and ground it into powder. It was only half a cup. After brewing, it seemed a lot. Add a few grains of oatmeal, fruit cubes that can be counted on one hand, guess how much a cup sells?"

Liu Ben never bought it, so of course he doesn't know, so he can only guess: "1 yuan?"

You Ying: "15 yuan."

Liu Ben:!

You Ying: "Actually, if you buy it online, a powder is only 1 to 2 yuan, but in a milk tea shop, they think it's a good deal to make a cup of ready-made."

Liu Ben: "Master, I have enlightened."

You Ying laughed: "What did you realize? I think your ability to develop food products is not bad, and the things are good. You can definitely solve them."

Liu Ben: [Niu Niu Bi Zan.jpg]

Liu Ben added up all the figures in the contract, and calculated the number of Wushuang meters that he might get in the end. It was indeed a huge number, and there might be nowhere to put it.But Liu Yibiao told him not to worry about this storage problem, because there are many idle granaries in Liuwu Village. Although they have not been used for a long time, they are absolutely strong and safe.

In the following time, Liu Ben was farming in the space while thinking about what products to develop. Although the Wushuang rice in the village has not been planted yet, it only takes two months from planting to harvesting, and the time is too tight.

When it came time to distribute the seeds, Liu Ben already had a rough plan. He took out big bags of unhulled Wushuang rice, called all the villagers who had signed the contract, and began to distribute the seeds.

"Hey..." After Liu Quanyou finished his share, he couldn't help heaving a long sigh when he saw the lively other family members who came to get the grain seeds.

When Liu Yibiao saw it, he asked him, "Why are you sighing about this good thing?"

"I'm just thinking about my second son. He didn't come back for the New Year. I gave him rice, but he didn't respond. I don't know if he wants to plant it or not!" Liu Quanyou complained.

"Hmph, I think he doesn't like us who are digging in the soil."

Liu Yibiao obviously didn't want to see Liu Quanyou's second son, Liu Liye. He obviously lived not far from the village, but he made excuses for not coming back during the Chinese New Year, saying that he went to Yue's house for the Chinese New Year. No pension money was given to Liu Quanyou.Liu Quanyou spoke well of his second son, saying that he had no money.How could there be no money!Liu Quan has several children in his family, but the second son, Liu Liye, is the richest, and his sister just got divorced, so he doesn't care at all!

"Hey, that's not the case, Patriarch," Liu Quanyou spoke for Liu Liye again: "He's just busy, maybe he won't be free..."

"Why are you so busy that you don't have time to go home for the New Year..." Liu Yibiao muttered a few times, seeing that Liu Quan was frowning, and his heart softened. The child is unfilial, and Liu Quan has this old father who suffers. Just make him sad.

"Anyway, the first season is not up, and there is a second season, so don't worry about it." Liu Yibiao patted Liu Quanyou on the shoulder, and went to help Liu Ben.

"Father, do you have other things to ask the patriarch?" Liu Xiangsi came to pick up her father in a tricycle.

Liu Quanyou shook his head: "No more, let's go home." Liu Xiangsi got out of the car, helped Liu Quanyou carry the grain into the car, and they got in the car and went home together.

The first full-scale planting of unparalleled rice in the whole village was carried out vigorously, and all the participating villagers were full of anticipation and fighting spirit.

Although the village has bought new rice transplanters, cultivators, and harvesters, there are only about 10 of them in total, and the total land in the village has tens of thousands of acres. Obviously, relying on machines alone is not enough, so Liu Yibiao I also informed everyone that the young men who operate several agricultural machinery will divide their respective work areas and count them by household registration. Counting from the beginning, just go round and round to help.

Now that the seeds have just been released, and the seedlings have not yet started, it is just time for the young people to drive the cultivator out to try out this plan, and they can make additions and modifications at any time.

So from this day on, every day, there is the sound of "dangdangdangdang" decoration at one end of the village, and the sound of "chug chug" cultivator running at the other end, and it can't be quiet all day long.

Of course, this is during the day, and it will not affect anyone's rest. After all, as long as the village is active, it is busy working at this time.

Busy spring is busy in spring, which means that people can get busy while enjoying the spring.

Liu Ben was not under any pressure. Like other young people in the village who were assigned to the responsible area, he drove the cultivator and walked slowly in the fields.After a winter, it seems that many small creatures have been raised in the land. Wherever the cultivator goes, the soil is turned over and muddy water is splashed everywhere, but the birds seem not to be afraid at all. Fly to the field to have a feast, follow behind the roaring cultivator, peck at the bugs and loaches that have been dug out of the land and have no time to escape in the muddy water.

Liu Ben was sitting on the cultivator. Only at this time, he was surprised to find that there are so many birds in Liuwu Village.

Nearly a thousand birds followed closely behind his cultivator alone. There were egrets with thin and long legs, black cowbirds and crows, and of course the most common ones were the little Yuanyuan sparrows who liked to chirp. Liu Ben can also find a large pheasant with colorful feathers or a small kingfisher with a touch of blue on its back among the birds. There are various species.

Listening to the melodious chirping of birds and watching the fluffy birds grabbing food in the fields, it's really good. Liu Ben thinks such a leisurely life is really good.

"Hmm...it's when the grains are drying, they may be easily harmed by these birds." Liu Ben said to himself.

It seems that the modern farmers who have machinery to use will not be so relaxed.

After finally plowing all the land in the village, we will start transplanting rice seedlings again. The rice transplanting is the same as plowing land, and each family takes turns to use the machine, but the rice transplanting machine is slower than the cultivating machine, and each family takes turns using 5 mu.Therefore, the job of transplanting rice seedlings should not be entirely dependent on the poor rice transplanters. Every household has to go out of the house, tie up their trouser legs, carry trays of seedling trays, step into the cold water, and manually transplant rice seedlings by themselves.

"This water is really cold." Liu Shuanghu said.

Although Liu Yibiao is the patriarch, he has always been fair in dealing with affairs. Even himself, he was divided into the areas responsible for the rice transplanters in a serious manner, waiting in line to use the rice transplanters, so at this time, like other villagers, he also To go to the ground.

Liu Yibiao walked over with a large stack of seedling trays in his arms, and scolded, "Why is it cold? It's already May, and it's starting to get hot."

"Haha." Liu Ben came over driving the rice transplanter: "Grandpa, quickly bring a few seedling trays to me."

"Have you finished your other houses?" Liu Yibiao asked as he walked.

"The few households in front of our family have taken turns," Liu Ben stopped in the field and helped Liu Yibiao put the seedling trays into the rice transplanter: "I think it's not enough for many families to plant 40 mu at a time."

"It's too much for me to say. They may think that with a rice transplanter, they can 'swipe' the ground and insert it automatically, and when it's time to harvest, they can harvest it all in a 'swish'. It is best to harvest the millet. It can also dry itself in the sun without anyone turning it over! Hahaha!" Liu Shuanghu laughed while planting rice seedlings.

"It's such a good thing!" Liu Yibiao watched Liu Ben driving the rice transplanter in the field, and four rows of straight rice seedlings appeared neatly behind the rice transplanter. He was very satisfied and felt that the rice transplanter was a good buy.

"Anyway, they have suffered a lot this season, and they will retreat in the next season." Liu Ben also laughed.

Although transplanting rice seedlings does not require much effort, if you do it manually, first you have to walk all over the field in slippery muddy water that is knee-deep, and then you need to bend down once every time you transplant rice seedlings. The seedling trays are taken away, and the only thing is to let them float in the water one by one. When they are used up, they have to be picked up and get new seedling trays. This process is time-consuming and laborious. After a day, all the villagers are exhausted.

Many villagers discussed with their families after returning home on the first day, don't be greedy next season, plant less, or even stop planting. It is of course good to make a lot of money, but if the body is exhausted, it will not be worth the loss.Fortunately, from Liu Ben's proposal to ask the villagers to help plant Wushuang rice until now, it has been half a year, and the villagers have enough time to call back their younger generations who have gone out to work, so that the pressure of farming at home is also less. .

It took more than ten days for the whole village to plant rice seedlings. After planting rice seedlings, everyone was exhausted all of a sudden. After resting at home for several days, their hands often shook. The few villagers were discouraged, and found Liu Ben and said that they would only plant one season this year and not the next season.

Liu Ben didn't mind, anyway, he could have as much rice as he had at that time, and he had already started saving money.

"It's been a long time since I've been so tired... Ouch!" Liu Shuanghu lay on the bed, He Mei put a yellow dog skin plaster on him, and after putting it on, he patted it, causing Liu Shuanghu's face to change color.

"Ah, it's so easy." He Mei was embarrassed, she often went to Liu Ben's online store to do temporary work such as posting express orders, so she subconsciously took pictures.

"Ah..." Liu Shuanghu was helplessly paralyzed, as if a soul floated out of his half-open mouth.

Liu Yibiao glanced at him contemptuously: "I don't know what kind of work you have been doing these past few years. It is so useless that you can't even plant the land. It's useless."

Liu Shuanghu: ...

Liu Shuanghu turned his head and pretended not to hear. He drove a big car when he went out, not to move bricks. Besides, moving bricks on a construction site didn't take such a long time.

Liu Ben is not tired at all, he just sits on the rice transplanter all day long, except that his buttocks are always bumped and numb, nothing happens.

At this time, Wang Caiqing prepared dinner, which was more than double the usual amount, but the exhausted Liu family ate it all, obviously hungry.

Liu Ben sent a message to You Ying: "After sitting on the cultivator for a few days, and then on the rice transplanter for a few days, my buttocks are swollen."

You Ying: "Really? I don't believe it unless I see it with my own eyes."

Liu Ben: [Niu Niu hooks fingers.jpg]

After these few months, Liu Ben's staff apartment has been completely built. Ding Xue and other employees from other places happily moved in with their luggage. One bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom are not too big, but The internal organs are complete, and the employees are very satisfied, and they all lamented that it was a good decision to work in this village.

It doesn’t matter even if you don’t know how to cook. Liu Xiangsi’s elder brother, Liu An’s family, rented a simple house near the center of the village, and started a small restaurant business with his wife. They don’t have the exquisite dishes of big hotels, but home-cooked dishes are delicious. It can be done.If they want to eat something good, they can also buy food from Liu Ben's warehouse with a 8% discount at the employee price, and take it to Liu An's wife. They only charge processing fees, which is cheap and comfortable.

And Liu Ben's own house has already been built, and it looks like that on the outside, but the inside has not been decorated yet, but it will be soon.What Liu Ben built was the most popular country villa in the village, but the shape was designed with a more distinctive style. The overall appearance blends in with the environment, and it must be very comfortable to live in.

There is a large yard in front of the house, where cinnamon pine and some beautiful crops are planted. Well, in short, it will be both delicious and beautiful.

Hey, when the decoration is finished, you can invite You Ying to come and live with us.
