Ba Zong's rural life [farming]

On the busiest street in the high-end residential area of ​​City G, there are often beverage shops, beauty and hair salons, private vegetable shops, laundry shops, fruit shops and small supermarkets that meet the daily needs of residents.And outside the entrance of a residential area with the highest occupancy rate, among the most popular shops with the most traffic, there is even a store that is extraordinarily popular - a vegetable department store.

This is really rare. A [-]-square-meter shop with a lot of land and a lot of money can rent tens of thousands of yuan a month, and it is actually used to sell vegetables?

Before, the residents thought that the owner of this vegetable shop was out of his mind, or else he had a mine at home and was driving for fun. Otherwise, a few yuan a catty of vegetables would cost him a month. A few thousand catties to earn back the rent, right?

At that time, the residents felt that the dishes here were either very expensive or not fresh, and they didn’t plan to buy them here. After all, there are several supermarkets and vegetable markets nearby to choose from. Walking a few steps away is considered exercise.

But after the opening of the vegetable shop, the residents are really fragrant. There is no other reason. The vegetables sold in this vegetable shop are fresh and cheap. They are all transported from the greenhouse early in the morning. Pests, I want to buy it just looking at it.

The main reason is that the price is cheap, a few cents cheaper than the supermarket, and it is close to home. When I go out to exercise in the morning, I buy it and take it home. Or I don’t have time to detour to buy vegetables. I just buy a few things when I get home. Taking it home for cooking greatly facilitates office workers in residential areas.

The business of the vegetable shop is very good, but the owner is a young man who looks like he is still in college. At first, everyone thought he was working part-time. After all, the rent of tens of thousands, plus the money for daily purchases, would cost at least tens of thousands of dollars a month. It really doesn't look like a career that college students can create.

Later, a retired aunt in the residential area came to buy vegetables. When she was picking vegetables, she saw this young man carrying vegetables beside her, so she asked curiously.

"Young man, your boss sells vegetables at such a low price, can you really make money?"

The young man wiped his sweat and replied with a smile, "Of course it is to make money. We grow these vegetables in the greenhouse. We usually ask someone to take care of them. The labor cost plus the cost and management fee will not cost much."

The aunt asked in surprise, "Are these vegetables grown at home?"

The young man nodded with a smile: "Yes, I rented a greenhouse in the suburbs to grow vegetables, and fresh vegetables can be supplied all year round."

Only then did the aunt come to her senses: "So you are the owner of this store?"

The young man smiled embarrassedly: "Yes."

The aunt was shocked: "I thought you were working for the boss. I didn't expect that you are so capable at such a young age, but why do you think of selling vegetables in this kind of place? The rent is so expensive and you can earn enough every month. Rent?"

Ruan Xishi replied honestly: "My mother bought this shop for me. I thought it was idle, so I just remodeled it to sell vegetables."

The aunt suddenly realized, no wonder she is so rich and powerful. It turns out that the family has a mine, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they are playing.

"Then your family should be quite rich, why can't you figure out how to grow vegetables and sell them, and use this money to invest in other things, but to be more chic?"

Ruan Xishi shyly said: "I like growing vegetables, so I simply treat my hobby as a job. Although I am a bit busy, I have a fulfilling life."

The aunt smiled and praised: "That's right, it's a good thing for young people to work hard."

After knowing that this vegetable shop is the business of that young man, the residents of several nearby communities are willing to come to sponsor the business of this good-looking little brother. Every day from the morning until after [-] o'clock in the evening, the vegetable shop has Guests, Ruan Xishi gradually became overwhelmed by himself.

After the first month, Ruan Xishi carefully calculated the income and expenses, and after deducting the cost, there are still a few thousand yuan left. Of course, the few thousand yuan is not much, but the store has just started, and it will gradually get better later.

So Ruan Xishi posted the recruitment information on the same city recruitment website, and recruited a laid-off aunt and a young and strong male college student to help.

My aunt is a laid-off worker who lives in an old community nearby. It takes half an hour to get there by bicycle every day.Ruan Xishi saw that life was not easy for her when she was old, so she offered her a basic salary of 3000 yuan plus commission for selling vegetables. Seeing that the salary was so high and the boss was easy to talk to, her aunt came to work happily.

The male college student is a sophomore this year, and he is studying at a nearby university. The school is not strict about part-time jobs. He can come to help when there is no class at noon, afternoon, evening, weekends and holidays. Help my aunt move some things.He doesn't have a lot of work, Ruan Xishi counts his money by the hour, 15 yuan an hour, and he can earn a small three thousand for a month's full shift, which is enough for his education expenses.

The vegetable shop is running decently. When she is free, Ruan Xishi sits behind the counter and taps on the calculator. The net profit is not bad all day long.

At first Ruan Xishi said that he wanted to grow vegetables and open a restaurant after graduation, but Pan Yao and Xu Lixin didn't agree with it. They felt too tired, and they were afraid that Ruan Xishi's small body would not be able to bear it. They get some pocket money every month, and they will subsidize some more to enjoy life.

But Ruan Xishi was unwilling to live and die. He felt that he was a college student with hands, feet and knowledge.

Father Lu is very supportive of his idea. He thinks that young people should endure hardships and do more things. Starting a business is a good thing. What if they become industrialists in the future?

With the support of Lu's father, Ruan Xishi used the pocket money that everyone gave him during his senior year to build a greenhouse in the suburbs. He also consulted the school professor's advice to make the greenhouse look decent. of.He had just graduated from university, and the first batch of vegetables in the greenhouse could be harvested, so he simply set up a vegetable stall in the shop outside the property that Pan Yao bought for him.

Now he can be regarded as having a small success in his career. Xu Lixin evaluated his economic benefits for him and thought it was acceptable, so he let him go. Although Pan Yao loves him, this is what he likes to do. Don't interfere with him anymore.

After graduating from university, Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze flew to the United States to obtain a passport. The two families went to a hotel to celebrate. Then Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze started a month-long world tour. One-third of their honeymoon was spent on the plane. , fulfilled Ruan Xishi's previous wish.

Because the acceptance of homosexuality in China is not widespread enough, they did not publicize it. They only wear a plain ring on their ring finger, and when asked, they say they are married.

Now Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze live on the second floor of the shop. Pan Yao helped him buy the whole building of the shop. The first floor is a shop, and the second and third floors can be said to be a small villa. It is still very comfortable to live in. Weekends When I was young, I would find a time for the two of them to go home to see their parents, and their lives were ordinary and regular, like an old man.

It was the weekend again, and there were a lot of people buying vegetables. The food in the store was almost sold out early in the morning, and the driver at the shed had finished the task and had already returned home from work, so Ruan Xishi had no choice but to drive his small truck to the shed. Side supply.

There are all kinds of vegetables in the greenhouse, radishes and potatoes in summer, and loofah and beans in winter, which are continuously supplied to the store every day. The vegetable farmers in the greenhouse carry the picked vegetables into the car one by one. Ruan Xishi drives his The small truck pulls the vegetables into the store.

This morning's dishes are almost sold out. The auntie who looks after the store told the customers that the boss has gone to stock up and will be back soon, and asked them to wait patiently.As soon as Ruan Xishi drove into the community, he saw many regular customers standing in front of his vegetable shop. As soon as he saw him, he came up and asked him what other dishes he had.

Ruan Xishi hurriedly asked the part-time boy to come out to help him carry the vegetables, and replied while moving: "I have them all, don't worry, I will carry them if I don't have enough."

Seeing that he was sweating profusely, the old aunts laughed and joked with him, "It's been so hard for Shizai to be a big boss, why don't you invite a few more people to help?"

Ruan Xishi smiled and said, "I can't afford it. Selling vegetables is a small profit. I can handle it."

The old aunts boasted: "Shizi is really real, he would rather be so busy than make more money from us."

"Isn't that right? Ever since I bought vegetables here in Shizai, I don't want to go to other places to buy them. It's expensive and not good."

"By the way, Shizai, do you still have the rice I bought at your house last time? I bought a few catties last time and went back to taste it. I think it's not bad."

Ruan Xishi felt that it was not worthwhile to sell only vegetables in the store, so he contacted fellow villagers in the village, bought some rice milled into rice, and tried it in the store. Unexpectedly, the response was quite good, and it was sold out within a few days. Repeat customers.He responded with a smile: "You guys like to eat that rice. I will contact the farmers after a while and buy a few hundred catties to supply."

"Okay, you have to save some for me then."

"No problem, auntie. If you like me, you can buy more. There are many farmers in my hometown who grow rice. I guarantee it will be enough for you."

When Ruan Xishi was in school, he would provide new technologies to the villagers when he returned to the village during the holidays. In recent years, life in the village has become much better. The land they regarded as their life is now deserted.The village chief couldn't stand it, so he asked people who were willing to farm to take the wasteland to plant, but there were too many fields to grow, so Ruan Xishi suggested that they build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, grow rice on a large scale, and use modern machines to batch manage.

No, the agricultural sidelines in the village are doing well. Buyers go to buy vegetables and grain every quarter, and the villagers who farm the land also have a considerable income.

Now that the living conditions in the village are better, people can eat more things, and eating is not as hard as before. Peasants who used to eat several bowls at a meal are now full after eating one bowl. There is a lot of rice.After Ruan Xishi found out about this, he discussed with the villagers to buy their surplus rice at the market price, grind it into rice and transport it to the city for sale, helping them solve the problem of surplus grain and adding an income to them at the same time. Ruan Xishi himself has money earn.

Ruan Xishi also plans to bring some of the village's crops and fruits to the store to sell after they mature. Anyway, the transportation is now developed, and it only takes a few hours to drive from the village to G City, which is very convenient.

The store was busy, when Ruan Xishi's cell phone rang suddenly, it was Mother Lu who came over.

Ruan Xishi asked his aunt to come over and weigh the dishes for the guests. He wiped his hands and went to sort out the vegetables that had just been put on the shelves, and took Lu's mother's call by the way.

"Hey, Mom, what's the matter?"

Mother Lu responded happily, and asked, "Shizai, are you busy today? I can't come over for dinner tonight. Mom hasn't seen you for a few days, so think about it."

When family members wanted to see him, Ruan Xishi would find time to go home no matter how busy he was, so he responded, "Okay, I'll go back early in the afternoon, do you still have food at home, do you want me to pick some from the greenhouse and eat home?"

Lu's mother said: "Yes, the vegetables in the greenhouse are fresh, and my mother likes to eat them the most. What kinds of dishes do you have now?"

Ruan Xishi smiled and said: "There are all kinds of dishes, I will pick whatever you say you want to eat."

Mother Lu pinched her fingers and said, "Then get some tomatoes, potatoes, loofah, celery, cabbage, ginger, scallions, and peppers. Mom will show you something tonight."

Ruan Xishi replied: "Okay, you can wait at home for me to take the food back to honor you."

Mother Lu burst out laughing when she heard this.

At noon, Ruan Xishi ordered takeaway and ate with two employees in the store. By the way, he said that he was going home in the afternoon. Please ask them to look at the store. The aunt and the part-time student are already familiar with it, so let him feel at ease Going home, there is no problem with them in the store.

Ruan Xishi thought that he might be staying at his parents' house tonight, so he drove his pickup truck away. He parked the car in the shed, and when he went in to pick vegetables, he sent a text message to Lu Ze, asking him to pick him up when he passed the shed. , Take him to the greenhouse tomorrow morning, and he will transport the vegetables to the store by the way.

Lu Ze also received a call from Lu's mother. He got off work very early in the afternoon. When he went to the shed, he saw Ruan Xishi squatting in the vegetable field picking vegetables, so he rolled up his shirt sleeves and went to help.

Ruan Xishi was a little surprised to see him come so early: "Did you get off work so early today?"

Lu Ze smiled and said, "I'm afraid you'll wait too long and get off work early."

Ruan Xishi laughed happily, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from the tip of her nose, but forgot that he had just dug ginger, her hands were covered with mud, and her face was dirty after wiping.

Lu Ze raised his hand to help him wipe off the mud, and the two got closer, and the workers in the shed had already returned home from get off work, and there were only two of them here, so they couldn't help kissing each other.

Tonight, Lu Ze's eldest brother's family also came back for dinner. The house was very lively. Lu's mother and sister-in-law were cooking in the kitchen, and the little nephew was pestering Ruan Xishi to play. Lu's father and son were sitting in the living room chatting about work. The whole family enjoyed themselves happily. of.

Mother Lu was cooking pork ribs in the kitchen, Xiaohui smelled it, and opened the balcony door to get in from the outside. It has been raised by Mother Lu in recent years, and it has grown a lot since it was a young adult. It looks like a Tibetan mastiff, a big lump will get in the way wherever you go.

Sure enough, as soon as it entered the kitchen, it was kicked out by Lu's mother, so it could only go into the living room to play with Ruan Xishi and the others. Ruan Xishi lovingly rubbed its head and handed it the ball to play with.

After talking about the company, Lu's father did not forget to care about Ruan Xishi's small vegetable shop, and asked how Ruan Xishi's business was doing during this time.

Ruan Xishi is now very proud of his career, and said boldly to Father Lu: "Now the store has more than 3000 yuan in the account every day, and it can earn tens of millions in a month, and there is more than 1 left after deducting the cost. I think the main reason is that the number of customers is too low. After a year or two, I will build a greenhouse, hire more workers, and then open a few branches in other places.”

After hearing his plan, Lu's father clapped his hands and applauded: "Yes, Shizai has great ambitions. By then, he can become a brand chain store. Maybe he can open it all over the country and become the number one vegetable farmer in China."

Ruan Xishi scratched the back of her head and laughed: "That would be the best. You can see my 'Shizai Vegetable Department Store' everywhere you go, and everyone can eat the vegetables I grow."

Dinner was ready soon, and Ruan Xishi went to help serve the dishes. Mother Lu made a lot of dishes, such as mapo tofu, fish head with chopped peppers, tomato and egg, potato beef, cabbage loofah and shrimp soup, celery chicken, and brought Ruan Xishi back today All the dishes are used.

Lu's mother smiled and said: "These vegetables are grown by Shizai, you should eat more, don't waste Shizai's hard work, especially Shizai, you are so busy every day, you have to eat more vegetables, look at you If you lose weight, my mother will feel distressed."

Ruan Xishi nodded again and again, but picked up a chopstick dish for Lu's father, Lu's mother and Lu Ze, and then said to the elder brothers and sisters-in-law: "Brother and sister-in-law, you also eat."

The family ate and talked and laughed, and the warm lights filled every corner of the house, warm and happy.

The author has something to say:

Shi Zai: Persist in growing vegetables to feed Lao Gong for 100 years without wavering.

This is the end of the story. It feels like revisiting my childhood once again. The memories I had forgotten when I wrote it slowly came back. Although there were many unsatisfactory places when I was young, there were also happy moments, but unfortunately I can’t go back. La.

In fact, I have a lot of selfishness in writing this article. I basically remember my grandfather, and I am trying to heal myself, but the effect is not very great. After more than a year, I still feel very uncomfortable when I think of my grandfather. There are some things that I didn’t cherish at the beginning. There is no second chance for crying and screaming. I hope that the little angels can learn from my lesson and cherish the time spent with the elderly, because life and death will really come suddenly.

The image of Shi Zai may be a bit weak by me, but I think the death of the dearest relative will really have a great impact on people. It’s not that a man will cry when he is sad, but everyone will cry because of pain. .My dad is a tough guy in his 40s. When he was told by the doctor that my grandfather was dying, he cried in the hospital while dealing with my grandfather’s funeral. My younger brother was older than Shizai. He cried silently all night during the wake, so when writing When I was young, many readers said that Shi Zai looked very motherly when he cried at every turn. I still insisted on writing like this. People’s personalities are inherently diverse. We can’t rigidly think that men should be like women, let alone when they are young. Zai's character design is not a tough guy.However, in the process of writing, there are still many little angels who understand and support me. It is also because of your encouraging messages that I am full of motivation to write.

Finally, I will open a new article in May, and the new article will return to my favorite entertainment circle, "Star II", which is still the favorite of the year, if you are interested, you can check it out (＾v＾)
