After I Lost My Job, I Went Home To Farm

After signing the contract, Gu Yinan went home and changed a pair of rain boots. He followed the muddy path to the fruit forest. Because it rained just last night, the fruit forest was wet and damp.

Not far from the orchard, there is a prefabricated room, which was custom-made when Xiao Li rented the orchard, mainly for the convenience of guarding the orchard and storing things in summer. Because it is a temporary residence, the construction is very simple, and they eat and sleep in one room.

Xiao Li's wife was cleaning up the house, when she saw Gu Yinan coming, she smiled gratefully at her, "Nannan, thank you this time."

Xiao Li wanted to thank Gu Yinan for taking over the orchard and the batch of late-ripening oranges.

Gu Yinan smiled, "It's alright."

Xiao Li's wife: "Nannan, here are some tools for you, so you don't need to buy them anymore."

Gu Yinan looked at the tools Xiao Li's wife pointed to, including hoes, shovels, trimmers, girdling knives, saws, fruit pickers, baskets, water pipes, etc., "Do you all want them?"

Xiao Li's wife shook her head: "I won't plant fruit trees in the future, and I won't be able to use them."

"It happens that I also need these tools, so I don't need to buy them anymore." Gu Yinan checked the price of these tools online, and the scattered ones would be less than a thousand. "I'll give you five if you add them up. A hundred bucks."

"No, no, these have been used for several years, and they are worthless." Xiao Li's wife waved her hand to ask for money, "Nannan, don't be polite to us, when you lived here before, your grandma often came to help and returned it to us. Send vegetables and eggs, where can we ask for your money."

Gu Yinan said, "But it will cost you a lot of money to buy so many tools."

"We have acquaintances, so we really can't spend a lot of money." Xiao Li's wife paused, "If you need packaging bags, frames, fertilizers, and pesticides in the future, you can tell us, and we can introduce you to a few honest shops. , the quality is absolutely guaranteed.”

"Okay." Gu Yinan really needed to buy some things, so he didn't say anything polite to her.

In addition to these tools, the Li family, a prefab house built for seven years, did not ask for them, and only took some daily necessities and home appliances and furniture.

After Xiao Li's wife left, the prefab house became empty. The house had been built for seven years. There were mold and oil smoke marks everywhere, and it looked a little messy.

Gu Yinan took the broom and went into the house to clean it briefly. There are no people here, but there is no need to clean it too clean.

After cleaning the house and locking it, Gu Yinan walked around the orchard a few times. The more than 100 acres of land was not too wide, but the hillside was sloping, and it was a little laborious to walk. It took an hour or two to complete the turn. , I have a general understanding of which fruit forest belongs to which family, and which fruit trees are planted in which area.

The other two sides of the fruit forest are adjacent to other villages, and also adjacent to the fruit forests of other villages. The fruits grown by each household in each village are similar, with dense branches and leaves, and they look like they belong to a family.

In order to save money, there are no vertical fences or nets between the fruit forests in each village, only a 1-meter-wide ditch is dug in the middle to separate them.

Xiao Li's wife said that there are some people with dirty hands and feet in several nearby villages, so Gu Yinan should be a little more careful in the future, or else they will work hard for a year and be stolen by others, which is distressing.

After Gu Yinan finished wandering, he went home. The house was full of smoke, and it was almost dinner time.

"You're back?" Grandma Gu walked to the door and wiped her hands on her apron, "How do you look?"

"Grandma, I'm optimistic." Gu Yinan changed into a pair of clean shoes and went into the kitchen to help. "Grandma, the fruit forests in the villages next to us are also rented out?"

Grandma Gu looked at Gu Yinan vigilantly, "You haven't figured out your work yet, and you want to go to someone else's house again?"

"No, I'm just asking." Gu Yinan expressed his concerns: "Although there are ditches between the fruit forests, it is easy to come over."

"People who rented the land shouldn't come to pick them, maybe some villagers with dirty hands and feet." Grandma Gu thought of a few candidates, "If you want me to say, it's most likely the old lady of the Ma family."

After someone like Grandma Gu who is not greedy for cheap rents the fruit forest to others, she will not go to the fruit forest to pick the fruit. Usually, Xiao Li picks some and sends it over, or she goes out to buy some and come back to eat.

But some people are different. They feel that even if they rent out the land, the land is still theirs. How can it be called stealing if you pick something from your own home?

Gu Yinan has a headache when he thinks of the old woman who is used to tossing: "I knew earlier that I wouldn't rent her house."

Grandma Gu has the expression that you are still too young: "If you don't rent, the village chief will definitely not agree."

Gu Yinan thought of the character of the village chief, and felt that what grandma said made sense, "Then I will buy some nets to stop him."

When Grandma Gu heard that she was going to spend money again, she felt uneasy: "How much will it cost?"

"It shouldn't be expensive." Gu Yinan didn't want the fruit nourished by his spiritual energy to be stolen, and the money had to be spent.

"You also said that the car you bought was not expensive. I heard from your Uncle Liu that your car cost at least a dozen, but you cheated me of a few dollars." Grandma Gu was angry when she thought of this, "We drive like this in the countryside. What does a good car do? How good is it to buy a van worth a few thousand dollars to drive, and it can take a dozen people and drive it exclusively to carry passengers. The business must be good.”

Gu Yinan was stunned for a while, sitting with a dozen people? "Grandma, you will be fined."

"Ah? Will I be fined?" Grandma Gu thought for a while, but she still didn't want it. "Then can your car carry passengers?"

Gu Yinan really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, grandma really wanted to come out one way or the other, "No way."

Grandma Gu glanced at the little white car outside the yard with disgust: "Then what's the use of buying it."

The next day, Gu Yinan drove a 'useless little white car' to the county seat, found a business that made orchard fences, and customized a fence with a width of 200 mu. It takes about ten days to deliver.

During this period, Gu Yinan did not take time off. Every morning, he went for a walk in the vegetable field, and then carried a **** to the fruit forest to weed and fertilize the fruit trees.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of September, and the spinach, lettuce, pak choi, celery, and parsley had grown out of the vegetable field and could be picked.

That day, Zhao Dajun called Gu Yinan again, "Nannan, have all your vegetables grown?"

Gu Yinan was seriously weeding the orchard, but he didn't understand Zhao Dajun's subtext for a while, "How do you know, cousin?"

"Didn't you say before that a new batch of vegetables will be put on the shelves in half a month? It's been sixteen days, why haven't you put them on the shelves?" Zhao Dajun kept counting the days because he was thinking about buying some more for customers.

"I've been too busy these days, I forgot." Gu Yinan looked at the date. Today is September 29th, and it's the National Day. "Cousin, the goods will be shipped on China's day."

"It's done." Zhao Dajun didn't want to urge her. "This time, I can order more. Last time my client bought it and said it was good. I might want to buy more this time."

"Cousin, I only have so many kinds of vegetables in my field, and I can't do any more." Gu Yinan expressed embarrassment. There are still some Chinese cabbage, radishes, and lettuce growing in the field, but the growth of these kinds of vegetables The cycle is relatively long and can be picked at least until November.

"Then think of a way, my cousin is relying on your food to survive." Since eating Gu Yinan's food, Zhao Dajun's gastrointestinal function has improved and his beer belly has become much smaller. He believes that in time, he will definitely You can look as handsome as you were when you were young.

Gu Yinan replied with a smile, "Cousin, I will try my best."

When Gu Yinan returned home later, he called Xia Xing: "When will you arrive tomorrow?"

"I'll get off the plane at about three o'clock in the afternoon, you remember to pick me up!"

"No problem." After lunch the next day, Gu Yinan drove to the airport. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he saw Xia Xing wiping her red lips, wearing sunglasses, stepping on handsome high-heeled shoes, and strode away. come out.

Gu Yinan looked at Xia Xing's fashionable outfit, "Are you going to the catwalk?"

"In order to see you, I took out my clothes from the bottom of the box." Xia Xing took off his sunglasses and looked at Gu Yinan with long hair. "Dear, have you had plastic surgery in the past two months? How come you look so good?"

Gu Yinan was used to Xia Xing's mouth full of unreliable words, and dragged Xia Xing out, "Let's go, or there will be traffic jams on the road."

"I just knew there was going to be a traffic jam during the long holiday, so I took a day off and came here first." Xia Xing pushed his suitcase and followed Gu Yinan in stride.

Xia Xing with short hair is bright and beautiful, and Gu Yinan in azure clothes is smart and immortal. The two walked out side by side, attracting a lot of envious eyes.

After getting out of the airport and getting into the car, Xia Xing lay comfortably on the chair and clicked his tongue twice, "Why did you think of a carriage? I told you to buy it before, but you didn't say anything, and said you saved money to buy a house, but now you don't buy a house?"

"I don't want to buy it anymore." Gu Yinan bought a car just for the convenience of traveling. He didn't think much about the rest.

"It's fine if you don't buy it, there's no pressure." Xia Xing pursed her lower lip, "How do you feel after staying at home for a few months?"

Gu Yinan looked at the traffic in front of him and smiled: "It's very good, the air is fresh, the scenery is unique, it doesn't cost anything, and there's no pressure."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Xia Xing couldn't be more envious, "I have to enjoy a comfortable and comfortable vacation when I go today, dear, you must treat me well."

"I will treat you well." Gu Yinan glanced at Xia Xing's high-heeled shoes, and asked with some deep meaning, "Did you bring other shoes?"

Xia Xing didn't know why: "I didn't bring it, what's wrong?"

Gu Yinan smiled, "It's okay, you can wear mine."

Xia Xing didn't know what Gu Yinan was laughing at, so he nodded, "Our feet are about the same size, so you can wear yours."

The vehicle sped away and returned to the village two hours later.

Xia Xing had lived in the city since he was a child, and rarely went to the undeveloped countryside. When he arrived in the village, he saw the fields and the small courtyards with green bricks and tiles hidden among the bamboo forests. , I feel so strange.

"You still have a bluestone road in your village. It's been a while since I looked at it. I want to stand on the road and take a photo. You take it for me. It must have the impact of the collision between modernity and history." Xia Xing excitedly pushed the car door open. Just get off.

Gu Yinan just wanted to remind her, but the next moment she heard Xia Xing scream, "Ah...my shoes!"
