After I Lost My Job, I Went Home To Farm

With the arrival of warm spring, the fruit trees in the fruit forest are blooming one after another. The peach blossoms are tender and delicate, the pear blossoms are as white as snow, and the cherry pollen is white and fragrant.

"Little boss, these flowers are blooming really well, and this year should be a bumper harvest." Aunt Zhang went to the fruit forest herbal garden to help weeding, and seeing the flowers in the garden, she couldn't help boasting: "Boss, you are this No matter how you plant it, it's better than others."

Of course, Gu Yinan wouldn't tell others his secret, "It's probably because the weather is good. I think rapeseed flowers bloom early this year."

"It's also possible." Aunt Zhang didn't think much about it. "Little boss, I see that other orchards have raised bees. Why don't you raise them?"

Gu Yinan doesn't know how to keep bees: "I don't know how to keep bees. I heard it's very troublesome to keep them."

"Little boss, in fact, beekeeping is very simple. My mother's family only kept two boxes, and they kept them casually. One box can yield 20 to 30 kilograms a year, which is enough for our whole family to eat." The experience of raising honey told Gu Yinan, "The honey we eat at home is made by ourselves, and it tastes better than the one bought outside."

Aunt Zhang looked at the fruit flowers all over the mountains and plains, and really felt that she should keep a few boxes, "And I see that the flowers here are blooming so well, it would be a pity if you didn't keep bees."

"If it's as simple as you said, I'll keep a few boxes." Gu Yinan was quite moved. It would be best if he could make the best use of it.

"Little boss, beekeeping is really easy." Aunt Zhang pulled on her straw hat, "If you're afraid of being stung, I can take care of it for you."

"I think about it." Gu Yinan went home and checked a lot of information, and finally decided not to waste his own fruit forest and the small wildflowers in the mountains and fields, and decided to buy 30 boxes of bees from the bee farm in the county town and put them in the fruit forest.

"Is this possible? Bees are not so easy to raise." Grandma Gu has seen beekeepers who have been transferred to other places, who sleep in the open air all year round, just to find a source of nectar, "The rapeseed flowers and orchard flowers will disappear after this season. , won't the bees starve to death by then?"

"Aren't there gardenias, azaleas, black jujube trees, and sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the mountains behind the orchard? In winter, let's raise our own." Gu Yinan thought that it was impossible, so she planted some chrysanthemums or planted some in the orchard. Plum blossoms, isn't it solved in autumn and winter?

"Then you don't understand that." Grandma Gu has never been in contact with beekeeping in her whole life, so she is not sure.

Gu Yinan didn't know what to do, "Aunt Zhang said she would take care of her, so let's take care of it first, then forget it."

Grandma Gu drooped her eyelids and looked at Gu Yinan with dissatisfaction. She was always tidying up here and there, but she didn't know why there were so many thoughts in her mind? "You asked her to help take care of the bees, do you have to pay her extra money?"

Gu Yinan snorted: "I want to ask her to help take care of the honey, and I'll drop by to help clean the chicken coop every day and pick up eggs, and then give her fifteen thousand dollars together."

In a small town with a per capita salary of less than 1800, 1500 is not too low, and it takes less than two hours a day to get everything done. In addition, she also helps with the work in the fields every day. If you add this salary, it will be nearly 5,000 a month.

So when Aunt Zhang learned that she was going to be paid extra, she was overjoyed, "Don't worry, little boss, I will definitely be able to take care of the bees and the chicken coop, and I will not delay the work in the fields."

The next day, thirty boxes of bees were delivered.

Gu Yinan placed them far away from the chicken coop to avoid being besieged by the chickens, and also built a canopy for them so that they would not be moved back in time when it rained.

After the honey was placed, the bees rushed out of the hive and threw themselves on the pear flowers, buzzing and busy.

The owner of the bee farm looked at this scene in surprise, "It stands to reason that these bees need a period of time to adapt to the new environment, but I didn't expect them to be familiar with it?"

"Yeah, and they went back into the beehive by themselves. I didn't use any of these tools." Aunt Zhang also brought honey from her mother's house. She wanted to coax the bees not to escape, but they didn't. use it.

This is the first time the owner of the bee farm has encountered such a situation, and it can only be attributed to the good source of nectar: ​​"It seems that the source of nectar here is too good, boss."

Gu Yinan smiled: "I don't know what happened."

Probably because animals are much more sensitive to spiritual energy than humans, and know what good things are, so they all jumped on them.

"It seems that you are suitable for beekeeping, Boss." The owner of the bee farm smiled and cried from the bottom of his heart. He obviously didn't like to collect honey at his place, but when he arrived, he became a hard-working little pacesetter?

The resentment in his heart returned to resentment, but the owner of the bee farm still left his phone number to Gu Yinan: "If the boss wants to sell honey in the future, he can call me, and I can collect honey here."

Gu Yinan nodded: "I mainly keep it for my family to eat. If I need to sell it, I will contact you."

After the bees were raised, Aunt Zhang was very conscientious and had to visit it for several days in the morning and evening.

This morning, Aunt Zhang came to report to Gu Yinan very excitedly: "Little boss, little boss, I think we should add some more beehives."

Gu Yinan didn't know why: "Why add it?"

Aunt Zhang blushed with excitement: "I found that our bees brought back a few swarms of bees from somewhere, and now they are about to start building their nests outside the hive."

Still kidnapped? Gu Yinan didn't expect such an operation? She hurried to the town to buy beehives and nest frames and put them back. Once the beehives were placed, the bees who escaped from nowhere couldn't wait to get in and settle down.

"And such good things." Grandma Gu couldn't help laughing and laughing after hearing this. It seemed that she didn't have to worry about Nannan's beekeeping losing money.

"I don't know whose bee." Gu Yinan felt amused, but also felt guilty. The bees that they had worked so hard to raise didn't go back after they ran out, which was unfortunate enough.

"It doesn't matter who he belongs to." Grandma Gu also laughed: "Now that he has come to our house to settle down, he can't even get rid of him, so we can't blame him."

Aunt Zhang also said the same: "These bees are not as easy to keep as domestic animals, and it is also good to be able to kill them."

Gu Yinan also knew that this was the case. She couldn't risk being stung into a pig's head and face and send the bees back to others one by one, right?

After learning that Gu Yinan raised bees, the most happy thing was my aunt's cousin. My aunt likes to make honey lemon tea the most, so she often buys native honey. Now I hear that Gu's family keeps honey, and I feel that this honey is the same as other fruits and vegetables. Alright, "Nannan, you have to notify me as soon as the honey is produced."

"No problem." Gu Yinan originally thought of raising them casually for the first time, and didn't expect them to produce much honey, but according to the current situation, she felt that selling honey was just around the corner.

Zhao Dajun snatched the phone from his wife, "Nannan, has your house been rebuilt?"

"It's almost ready." Gu Yinan glanced at the small courtyard with glass installed from a distance, "I should be able to move in in mid-March. Cousin, you guys will come over to help warm the house?"

Zhao Dajun said with a smile: "When the time comes, you will inform us in advance."

My aunt also asked, "Do you still have flowers in your orchard by then? Let's go over to see the flowers and take pictures."

Gu Yinan said: "You can see flowers when you come before the end of March."

Zhao Dajun happily set up a family outing plan for March: "That's it, then we'll come back when you move."

"Okay." After Gu Yinan hung up the phone, he told his grandma that his cousin and the others would come when they moved.

"Let them all come." Grandma Gu thought of some other relatives who didn't have much contact with each other. "Don't invite the others. They said they were greedy for her hundreds of dollars in gifts."

In fact, it's not that grandma doesn't want to interact with these relatives, but some relatives always feel that Gu's family is too poor. When they talk about treating guests or visiting relatives, they think they want to borrow money, which makes grandma Gu very uncomfortable.

During the Chinese New Year this year, grandma originally said that the vegetable business was good this year, and invited some cousins ​​to come and sit at the house, but they called and said that they were not available, saying that they had arranged to go on a trip. A heart was doused by a basin of cold water.

So Grandma Gu didn't bother to stick her hot face on other people's cold buttocks, "Just invite your Grandma Liu and the others."

"Okay." Gu Yinan has no objection, and she is not used to getting along with those three aunts and six grandmothers. She only invites some close people to come over to warm the house, and she can feel more at ease.

With the progress of the renovation of the house, the original old courtyard has been completely renewed, and it looks like it has been rebuilt.

"This yard is so well-built, it looks like a new house has been rebuilt." The villagers were amazed when they saw the final result, "These people who built the house are just lucky, how could they change the house in just one month? So good? It's like the villa on TV."

Some villagers suggested: "Hey, didn't you say you want to renovate it too? Why don't you ask these people to help you renovate it too?"

"Yeah, I'll wait and ask."

Granny Wen couldn't help frowning when she heard it: "What do you think? Nannan specially hired people to design this yard. These people also built the house according to the design drawings. You think that without the design drawings, they can make the house Renovated so beautifully?"

"To build a house and ask someone to design it? It's a waste of money." The villagers felt that it was a waste of money.

Granny Wen went back and said, "If you don't spend money, it's like your house. It's rustic. Who would think it looks good?"

Villager: "That's true. Once the house is rebuilt, I think it looks good."

"Then I'll ask them to build me one like this." The villagers hurried to find the person in charge and asked the person in charge to build a house for themselves.

The person in charge of the engineering team directly refused: "We have signed a contract, and we are not allowed to copy buildings with the same style and shape. If you want us to help you build a house, you can get a new design drawing."

"That's going to cost a lot of money." The villagers were not happy. "Then you can just renovate it."

The person in charge said: "We only undertake the design of buildings, not the construction of ordinary farm houses."

The disgusted villagers jumped in anger, "What happened to the ordinary farmhouse? Did the ordinary farmhouse offend you?"

Granny Wen rolled her eyes when she heard it. "People's wages are several hundred a day. Can you afford it? Are you still making trouble here? Isn't it ashamed?"

To put it bluntly, this engineering team also made a lot of money by taking the high-level route. The reconstruction of the farmhouse would only cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan at most, which was not enough for the engineering team to stay in the town for this month.

"I said it's not enough." The villagers whispered: "What kind of design is this? It's such a big glass, and I don't know how much it cost. How much money is selling vegetables?"

***

Gu Yinan, who made a fortune by selling vegetables, and his grandmother inspected the remodeled courtyard together. They pushed open the courtyard door and entered, and there was a courtyard covered with green bricks. The pear branches and leaves were lush, covering most of the courtyard. It looked cool and cool. quiet.

There is also a platform under the thick branches and leaves of the pear tree, where you can sit and drink tea and enjoy the shade or bask in the sun. In addition, there is a retractable transparent canopy, so you can sit under it and enjoy the rain on rainy days.

The houses upstairs and downstairs have become clean, spacious and bright, and the layout is also quite stylish, with a retro and modern feel, and the whole place is quiet and leisurely.

"This is still our house?" Grandma Gu looked at the renovated house in disbelief. It was obvious that the blue brick walls had not changed, but she felt very different when she looked at it, "It's really changed a lot. already."

Although Grandma Gu has seen the design drawings, the feeling from the drawings is completely different from the feeling of walking in in person. Walking into the house can more intuitively feel the changes in the home, and the bottom of my heart is even more shocking.

"It's good." Grandma Gu went to her room and found that the canopy bed and dresser she married fifty years ago were still in the room, she looked at Gu Yinan in astonishment: "Aren't these thrown away? "

When moving house, Gu Yinan saw that the bed and dresser were worm-eaten with many holes and looked worn out, so she said she wanted to throw it away, but her grandmother was very reluctant, but she couldn't resist her, so she had to agree.

Gu Yinan knew that her grandmother was very reluctant, and finally discussed with the designer who came to do the interior design. She took the bed and dresser back to make up for it, and repainted it. Now it looks brand new.

"Grandma, look at this box." Gu Yinan led grandma to the corner where there were several small wooden boxes, these were grandma's dowry, and there were two mandarin ducks and a big happy character engraved on the wooden box.

These are the little things that Grandma Gu has treasured for decades. Although they are very shabby, Gu Yinan thinks it is very meaningful, so he finally picked them up, re-polished them and put them in the house.

"It's good." Grandma Gu stroked her dowry with her rough hands, and the tears couldn't stop flowing out. The memory of her parents sending her to marry also emerged. It's good, it's good.

In fact, these furniture are just ordinary wood, which is not worth a few dollars. It is not as expensive as Gu Yinan looking for someone to repair it, but when Gu Yinan looks at her happy grandmother, she feels that everything is worth it.

"It's nice, it's nice." Grandma Gu turned around and took Gu Yinan's soft, fair hand, and said several times that it was nice.

"Grandma, as long as you like it." Gu Yinan picked up a tissue and wiped grandma's tears, "Let's continue to look at other rooms, shall we?"

Grandma Gu nodded and said yes.

Gu Yinan took her grandma to see the kitchen again. It was clean and bright, and everything was in good order. Grandma touched it here and there, and loved everything: "It's so clean, I don't dare to cook here anymore. It would be a shame if it got dirty."

Gu Yinan suggested: "Grandma, let's cook directly with natural gas, so that we won't get dirty everywhere."

"Then use it." Grandma Gu actually still thinks that firewood is good for cooking, and it is close to the mountains and forests, so it is convenient to get firewood, and the most important thing is to save money. But in such a clean and tidy kitchen, the firewood is too easy to get dirty, and she will feel distressed if it gets dirty.

The three rooms upstairs are also spacious and bright. After removing the balconies, several rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows were built. The wooden floors are laid in the room. It is quite comfortable to sit on the floor with the windows and drink tea and read a book.

In Gu Yinan's house, the canopy bed was removed and replaced with a big bed. Everything was simple and clear, which fit her character. What's more special about her room is that there is a space outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, which is a convenient place for her to work alone.

The mottled shadows of the trees fell into the room, which was quiet and leisurely, which made her like this space that was hers very much.

There used to be an open space below this space. Now, several houses have been rebuilt. In addition, the chicken coop and backyard behind the house have been cleaned up. Garages and warehouses have been repaired. A good place to cool off.

The more Grandma Gu looked, the more satisfied she became. "This little Song is really amazing. He has never been to our house, so he can make our yard look so beautiful."

Song Huai was able to achieve such effects with just a few photos. In addition, he retained the distinctive ornaments and corners of the old yard, and at the same time, he also carefully added many designs that are convenient for life. This is really amazing. This made Gu Yinan feel a little more favorable towards him.

Grandma Gu likes Xiao Song more and more, "Let's invite Xiao Song as a guest when we move."

"Invite him? That's not good." Although Gu Yinan was very grateful for Song Huai's help, shouldn't relatives and friends be invited for this kind of housewarming?

Grandma Gu's idea is very simple. It's just to invite someone who has helped a lot to have a meal. There is no other meaning: "What's wrong? He helped design the house. Shouldn't it be better to invite him over for a meal?"

Gu Yinan felt strange in his heart, "Mr. Song is very busy, so he shouldn't have time to come."

"You'll know if you ask." A sly light flashed in Grandma Gu's eyes, and she urged, "Go and ask."

"Got it." Gu Yinan was very helpless, how could the old lady be so tormenting.

Grandma Gu smiled and looked at her granddaughter who walked under the pear tree to ask someone.

Gu Yinan sent a result map to Song Huai, "Mr. Song, the engineering team has all been remodeled, and the designer has arranged it. Thank you."

Song Huai looked at the result chart, it was not bad, "You're welcome."

"Is it convenient for Mr. Song to give you an account? I will transfer the cost of this design to you." Gu Yinan consulted the person in charge of the engineering team. The design fee of a well-known designer should start at least six figures, and she intends to give a compromise price .

Song Huai didn't want the other party to be so polite. He didn't expect to earn design fees for helping with the drawing. "Miss Gu doesn't need to be so polite."

Gu Yinan said: "You have helped so much, I should pay you the money."

Song Huai raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, "I thought we were already friends."

Gu Yinan's heart fluttered slightly, "Of course it is."

Song Huai replied to her, "Wouldn't it be polite to talk about this between friends?"

Gu Yinan was speechless for a while, lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled, okay, then she also saved a lot of money.

After thinking about it, she sent another invitation: "Grandma has chosen to move the day after tomorrow. Moving families are more lively. I wonder if Mr. Song has time to come over to warm up the room?"

The author has something to say: this Monday,
