"Cut more."

Bai Lele took a sip of her saliva and said greedily, "I haven't eaten leeks for a long time."

"Okay." Huo Changqing cut a few more handfuls, "I'll grow taller in a few days, and I'll make dumplings and roast leek boxes for you."

After sending Liu Aijun and the others away, Bai Lele was thinking about lunch and saw that the leek had grown half a foot high.

Just thinking about cutting some scrambled eggs to eat.

"How much did it cost to build this shed?" Bai Lele asked, "Where did you learn it from?"

The entire backyard is covered with plastic sheeting, and the ground is lush green, full of various vegetables.

Pockets of cabbage, lettuce, spinach... These short-cycle side dishes are almost edible.

Eggplants, beans, peppers... There are also a lot of ridges planted, and they can be picked when they are ripe in June.

It is almost a month earlier than the melons and fruits in July.

"I've seen it before." Huo Changqing said, "The Agricultural University is just across from the business school. I often go to see it when I have nothing to do."

There are also friends he knows in the Agricultural Research Institute.

Bai Lele always talked about wanting to eat green vegetables, and Huo Changqing thought of those vegetable sheds built with plastic sheets, but it was too cold in the twelfth lunar month of winter.

The ground is as frozen as a stone block, and it cannot be dug with a pickaxe, and there is no way to build it.

It wasn't until the weather warmed up in March that Huo Changqing asked someone to help set it up, and asked a friend to get a lot of vegetable seedlings.

This can be planted in advance.

"You have to be the one who farms the land." Bai Lele looked at the vegetables he had planted for himself, and said happily, "I can't take care of them so well."

He looked at the small vegetables and the green vegetable seedlings, which were neatly arranged.

Stretching branches and leaves full of vitality is thriving.

"Everyone has their own strengths." Huo Changqing glanced at him and said indifferently: "You are not omnipotent and you need to know everything. You always think about what you have and what you don't have."

"I won't be able to learn." Bai Lele gave him an annoyed look, "Can't you say something nice?"

Huo Changqing: "..."

He looked helpless, knowing that Bai Lele was going into a dead end again, what Liu Aijun and the others said.

He heard it all.

"Actually, it's not a big deal." Huo Changqing thought for a while and said, "Your story has spread, but it's not what you think."

Because of the report, the principal held a meeting to severely criticize and educate him, and transferred the person who reported.

At the same time, he resolutely withheld the reward for Bai Lele.

"Most teaching staff still support it." Huo Changqing said: "I hope to attract high-quality teachers and improve the quality of teaching."

As for the few people transferred away, Huo Changqing also explained that such things happen often.

Although the principal and the others tried to persuade them to stay, they couldn't give them good benefits because the middle school in the town was poor.

You can't resolutely stop others from going to high places, you can only turn a blind eye and close one eye, because you are afraid that people will not be able to keep their hearts.

It is not good for students to cause rebellious psychology.

"It's not easy to meet a good teacher." Huo Changqing smiled wryly, "I got promoted little by little, so I have a better understanding and experience."

"I was able to get into the No. [-] Middle School because the teacher asked me to go to the city to find papers from other schools and come back to do it. That's why I was lucky to get a good grade."

He wiped his face and sat down on the ground, "That's it, I went there to see that my grades are not even a fart among those classmates."

Huo Changqing is smart and studies hard. He ranks first in school every year, but he is limited by his vision.

In No. [-] Middle School, a key high school, it is still much worse than the students in the city, and can only be regarded as upper middle class.

"Everyone says studying hard." Huo Changqing said, "Even the teachers work hard together. Maybe not many get into high school or technical secondary school, let alone go to a key school like No. [-] Middle School."

In the primary and secondary schools in the town, the teachers' qualifications are basically middle and high school, and few have graduated from technical secondary schools.

No matter how hard the students work and are limited by various resources, it is extremely difficult to pass the exam.

"That's enough, that's enough." Bai Lele said impatiently, "I get it, don't try to mess with me, I know it."

"You little heartless person actually said that about me." Huo Changqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and tapped Bai Lele's forehead with his finger, "I'm just being miserable, but I just expressed my feelings."

"I won't interfere with your decision. I just hope that if you don't want to go out to do business or work in other schools, but want to stay in the countryside and farm, then you can consider going back to school."

"I won't go back, what do you want to do." Bai Lele ran away angrily, "Let's talk about it after you can earn back the money."

Just now, when he and Huo Changqing expressed their feelings for each other, Bai Lele wanted him to say something nice to him, but he chose to mention the school or not.

He was really mad.

……

On the drying yard in the afternoon, Huo Changqing set up a table and two chairs, and asked Bai Lele to sit with him.

"Everyone come to the drying yard to gather, and anyone who needs a tractor to plow the land will come."

Huo Changqing shouted with a loudspeaker: "If you need it, come and sign up. You need to plow a few acres to arrange a date for registration."

Seeing every family come out and gather at the drying yard, Bai Lele's eyes wandered, wondering how many families would pay to hire a tractor to plow the land.

"What do you think?" Bai Lele asked in a low voice, "Are there many people willing to pay?"

"I'm only thinking about it now." Huo Changqing endured and endured, holding back what he was about to say, "It shouldn't be much, but I can earn some."

Huo Changqing is the one who knows the best. Bai Lele is not good, and he doesn't know much about the countryside.

That's a penny that I wish I could break in half.

Huo Changqing knows how the strong and labor-intensive family is willing to pay.

"Dry land is going to be planted soon." Huo Changqing said: "For the land where wheat is planted, it is estimated that in order to save time, some people will be willing to pay for a tractor to plow it."

"Earn a little." Bai Lele was not discouraged at all, but said with a smile, "I bought it for my own use, and didn't even think about making money. Now it's a surprise."

He was able to think about it, resting his chin in one hand, his brows and eyes were full of joy, and there was a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.

Looking at the radiant face and the gleaming eyes, people who don't know it think that he has encountered such a happy event.

People from the brigade walked up to Bai Lele one after another, surrounding them as if they were watching a scene.

"Do you have arable land?" Huo Changqing asked directly: "If you have any, register, pay the money to arrange the date, and if you don't, then let go."

"How much is an acre?" Someone asked: "My family wants to grow three acres of wheat. Let's see if we can afford a tractor."

"Five yuan per mu." Huo Changqing said, "Plow and rake again."

After he finished speaking, he added: "For the price of the brigade, don't try to take advantage of it, let all your seven aunts and eight aunts come over."

"Pfft." Bai Lele smiled, and glanced at Huo Changqing, "It's really an aboveboard distinction."

"Hahaha……"

The people in the brigade also laughed, they all understood what Huo Changqing meant, and no one had any objections.

"That's really cheap." A woman in her 40s who asked the price said with a smile, "Brother Changqing, this is enough for you. Last year, someone from another brigade asked for a tractor for seven or eight yuan."

She didn't delay as she spoke, she just took out the money and counted it and handed it over, "I have cultivated three acres, so that the family members will be less tired."

"Sister-in-law is right." Huo Changqing said in a calm tone, with soothing eyebrows and eyes: "The dry land is too busy, and we have to plant seeds quickly, so we can save time and energy by plowing a few acres."

"Don't worry about things like paddy fields, just do it slowly at home."

As he spoke, he handed the money to Bai Lele and asked him to write down the names and rank first.

Bai Lele took the money and took the notes to write down the first person, but she secretly spurned Huo Changqing in her heart.

This is still not willing to make money.

Who didn't fool around and coax others to plow more land and earn more money, but he encouraged others to save more.

Is it possible to make money in business like this?

Bai Lele was very skeptical. If he had to let Huo Changqing do business, he would probably have to pay back in a few days.

"Speak well." Bai Lele leaned into his ear and reminded him in a low voice, "If you say that, those who want to spend money on farming will hesitate, and those who are already hesitant will shrink back."

Huo Changqing: "..."

He had no expression on his face, as if he didn't hear it, he just kept his face cold and didn't speak again.

"Is there anyone else?" Bai Lele greeted hurriedly: "Come here to register and pay the money, and I'll arrange a date for you."

With a bright smile and curved eyes, he said in a soft voice: "The tractor plows the land quickly, and the seeds can be planted early, so everyone can save worry and effort."

"The reason why the price is so cheap is to take care of the people in the brigade. After a few days we go outside and the brigade will no longer be able to cultivate land for you."

The subtext is: hurry up and pay money to pick up a bargain. If you don’t sign up for arable land now, it’s useless to regret it in a few days.

Not to mention, these few words of Bai Lele had an effect, as soon as he finished speaking, someone came to pay the money.

The one I took was a joy.

"I have two acres of land."

"I have three acres."

"I have four acres."

Bai Lele took a share of the money, recorded a person's name, and told which day the land was cultivated.

Gradually, there were more and more people. Bai Lele watched people crowding around, and hurriedly said, "Don't crowd, everyone, line up and come one by one."

He looked around again, and there were still many people who hadn't come around, Bai Lele shouted again: "Those who have arable land, hurry up and line up, and when there are too many people, you will line up behind others, don't say you are in line by then It’s too late to plow the land behind.”

Huo Changqing: "..."

Seeing Bai Lele's words, a large group of people rushed over, pushing each other and wanting to be in front.

Huo Changqing glanced at the busy Bai Lele, and thought "hehe" in his heart: There are two tricks, is this coaxing and deceiving?

But I have to say, if he secretly pushes people out again, as long as Bai Lele puts on a smiling face and says a few words.

Someone stood up to save face.

Huo Changqing sighed: Five yuan is too little, if it was higher, there might not be many people there!

It's just that he can't get over the hurdle in his heart, because his relatives are poor, Huo Changqing really can't say too much.

"Collect the money for me." Bai Lele was busy for a while, seeing that Huo Changqing was fine, she gave him a look and said, "I'll register and collect the money myself, it's too slow."

"Let me remember." Huo Changqing took the pen and paper, "I don't need them to register themselves, it will be faster."

"That's right!" Bai Lele suddenly realized, he didn't know who these people were, and it would be slow if they had to report their names, "Then I'll collect the money."

The two of them worked all afternoon before they finished recording the people in the brigade who needed tractors to plow the land. Bai Lele also counted the money to the point of softness.

"I didn't expect so many people to cultivate the land." Bai Lele smiled from ear to ear, looked at the money in the satchel, and said cheerfully, "More than 1000 yuan, and I've got it now!"

"But you have to work hard."

He patted Huo Changqing on the shoulder and looked at him with a smile, "You won't regret not wanting to do it, will you?"

Bai Lele smiled all over her face, but her eyes were threatening, as if Huo Changqing would regret it if she said something.

It's like he's going to jump up and bite someone.

"I'm that kind of person." Huo Changqing sneered, and said with great concern: "Don't forget, the money is not all earned, but also spent on gas."

"Hmph." Bai Lele snorted, proudly raised her chin, "Of course I know, but with just over 500 yuan, we can earn more than 400 if we go to refuel."

"In ten or so days, I earned almost one worker's salary for a year. Do you still think it's too little?"

If he hadn't seen such a huge profit in doing business, Bai Lele would not have resolutely refused to go to work.

It's just that he always likes to be quiet and comfortable, and he doesn't want to run around outside all year round, so he hesitates a little.

"You want me to go to work." Bai Lele said, "I want to make money. Anyway, I want to eat well and dress well, so I don't want to make do with it."

He drew the Tao, Huo Changqing didn't want to make money, so he would do it himself and not force it.

It depends on Huo Changqing's own wishes.
