crazy growth

So busy busy, spring is here.The swallows came back, built nests in trees, and went to the paddy fields to find insects to feed their offspring.The small yellow buds on the poplar trees have all grown out, and poplar catkins are flying all over the sky, falling on the ground like small cotton balls, and the business is full of life.

At dusk one day, the Bai family was digging holes and sowing seeds to grow vegetables in the vegetable patch in the front yard.

"You say this old Qintou is so pitiful. There is no one around him now. When he was young, the child's mother ran away with others, but his son has a bit of conscience. He has not lived a good life and forgot about this father. From time to time Sending something back, his son bought all the big appliances in his house. His son is looking pretty good now, and the little chubby guy who played with you when he was young, actually came back to see it sometimes in the past few years Looking at his father, hey, I thought this kid would never come back after being taken away by his mother." While sowing seeds, Bai Xiama started the mode of chattering and gossiping.

Unexpectedly, there were not enough tomato seeds. Papa Bai wanted to ask Lao Qintou to borrow a bag first, and then went to his house. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door of his house, he saw Lao Qintou fell to the ground. Papa Bai was in a hurry , hurriedly asked Baixia to call a car and take him to the hospital quickly. Bai's father was not so agile, so Baixia sent him alone. When he arrived at the county, the county rescued him but couldn't find out what happened. So Bai Xia took Papa Bai to the hospital in City C again. After City C finished the examination for Papa Bai, he was asked to stay in the hospital for two days for examination. I didn't know whether Lao Qin would be alive or dead in the future, so I dug out the phone in Old Man Gao's pocket, found his son's number and called him, the person who answered the phone had a very magnetic voice, Bai Xia simply said Tell him about the situation, and then tell him the address of City C and the hospital. Bai Xia can feel the anxiety on the other side of the phone through the phone.

Old Qintou had been asleep the whole time, and he wasn't quite sober.In the afternoon, Lao Qintou finally opened his eyes, and Bai Xia hurried to call the doctor.When I came back, I saw a young man sitting by the bed. He was in good shape, with thick eyebrows and sword eyes, and he was very heroic. However, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes. It seemed that this person left in a hurry, and his formal clothes were messed up. Yes, the shirt opening on the chest is open.After the doctor came, there was chaos again. In the end, there was nothing serious. After the doctor finished his work, Lao Qintou fell asleep. Baixia saw that his son had also come. The doctor said that Lao Qintou was not in too much danger, so he prepared to I'm back.He patted Lao Qintou's son on the shoulder, signaling that he was leaving.

The old Qin Huai's son is called Qin Huai. He saw his father's phone call during the company meeting this morning. Basically, Qin Huai's father never contacted him. If he contacted him, there must be something important. When he received the call, Qin Huai's mind suddenly Blank.Afterwards, Qin Huai rushed to the airport and headed towards City C. He didn't have time to change his clothes, so he arrived at the hospital in messy clothes.

When Baixia opened the door to leave, Qin Huai finally came to his senses and caught up with Baixia.

"That, thank you!"

"It's nothing, it's all from neighbors and folks." Bai Xia smiled softly.

"How much is that money, I can pay you back."

"It's not urgent, you should take care of Teacher Qin first." Then he left.

"Teacher Qin" is Shuguang Village's collective name for old Qintou. Old Qintou had studied in high school back then, and he missed the college entrance examination by two points. At that time, there were many children in every family, and there were often nine younger sisters (that is to say, there were nine girls in the family), so the elementary school at that time was full of people.But after the national family planning, there were fewer people, and the primary school became more and more depressed. Now the school has no students at all, and the primary school is dying.However, people in the village still habitually call Lao Qintou "Teacher Qin".When old Qintou was young, he was handsome and a man of culture, so he had a high vision. In the end, he married a beautiful daughter-in-law from a neighboring village. The sister of this daughter-in-law was the only college student who went out from the left and right villages at that time.In the beginning, they lived a beautiful life together and gave birth to a beautiful son.The turning point of the matter was when Qin Huai was three or four years old. Originally, Qin Huai's mother just went to S city to join her sister, but found that working in S city was better for making money, so she planned to stay for a few months to earn some money and go back.He used to work as a nanny in a family, because Qin Huai's mother was very beautiful, and she didn't do much farm work at home, so she was completely different from ordinary rural housewives.Later, the male owner of the family fell in love with her. After Qin Huai's mother came to the big city, her vanity began to overflow, and finally she followed, but unfortunately she never had children. There is a son who is easy to rely on, so Qin Huai took him away forcibly when he was five or six years old. He told the other side that the father of the child died and the son could not be taken care of, but he won a lot of tears, and the man also There is no objection, and she just raised a son for others like this.After Qin Huai graduated, he actually came to work in City B. At that time, Qin Huai's mother made a lot of noise and cried, but it was useless. Qin Huai decided to leave City S.After he returned to City B, he went home to find his own father, and went back to visit during the holidays.

To say that Bai Xia and Qin Huai are old times, when they were about 5-6 years old, they played with sand, stones and ran around together.At that time Qin Huai was chubby and loved to cry a lot.Then one day, Qin Huai's mother left with Qin Huai who was crying and fussing, and never came back since then.When Qin Huai came to City B, Baixia was always in City S, and never went home during the holidays, so they never met each other.

About a week later, Qin Huai's father came back by himself at noon.

At night, Qin Huai chased him back.

At that time, Baixia saw Qin Huai rushing into the old Qintou's house wearing sportswear and carrying a bag.

But after a while, he saw Qin Huai being pushed out by his father.

"I said don't spend money on treatment. If it can't be cured, don't let me suffer from that crime. Let me live quietly for two days, okay?"

"No, Dad, listen to me, your illness really needs to be treated, you don't have to worry about money, I have a solution~"

"You have money, such a large amount of money, you dare to say that it is not that man's, you go, you go to him, I don't want his money, I would rather die."

"Dad, I earned the money, really."

"You go~"

"Dad, it's okay if you don't go for treatment, I'll stay with you at the head office for a few days."

His father stopped arguing and talking, turned his head and entered the room, and Qin Huai followed suit.

Then Qin Huai stayed like this, he would go out for a run in the early morning, then do stretching exercises beside the stone table in the yard, and after 7 o'clock in the evening, he would smoke a cigarette in the yard.

Sometimes Baixia would simply say hello to Qin Huai when he came back, and then there was almost no interaction, and Qin Huai basically didn't want to say a word.

Old Qintou still came out to take care of his lilac tree for a while every day as usual, which was his daily compulsory training, but after more than ten years, this lilac plant still hadn't bloomed, this tree really has character.

What broke the pattern was the mountain wine of Baixia's family.This day, the wine made by Papa Bai is finally ready to drink, so he asks Baixia to send some to Old Qintou, who loves the mountain wine made by his father the most, and every year, Old Qintou asks Papa Bai to save some for him.By the way, this wine is Papa Bai's unique skill. This mountain wine is made from wild grapes on the mountain. This kind of fruit must be picked at the time of frost. It doesn't taste very good, it's terribly sour, but the wine it makes is very delicious.

So Baixia went with a jar of mountain wine.He pushed open the door of Qin Huai's house, and saw old Qintou squatting on the ground loosening the soil for the lilac tree.

"Mr. Qin, the mountain wine that my dad asked me to bring you can finally be drunk today."

"Hey, Xiaobai, okay, thank you, sit down first, I'll be fine soon."

"Mr. Qin, you have been planting this lilac tree for more than ten years. You have been growing it as long as I can remember. It hasn't bloomed yet. This tree is really strange. It's hard for you to be so patient."

"I've become a habit now. If I don't serve it every day, I always feel that something is missing. If it doesn't bloom, it won't bloom."

"Dad, what's for dinner tonight, I'll pick vegetables." Qin Huai walked out of the room.Seeing Bai Xia, he said hello.

"Well, I'll think about it later." Old Qin finished loosening the soil and washed his hands.Walking in front of Baixia, he hugged the wine jar.

"I just want this one, Qin Huai, I have good wine to drink today." The old Qin head was holding the wine jar in his hands, he was happy.

"Then what's the matter, stay for dinner tonight, I'll cook my special dish for you."

Bai Xia thought of Qin Huai's father's specialty dishes, which are the skills of a chef, such as pot-wrapped meat, sliced ​​meat, his mouth is watering, but I'm sorry to just stay here for dinner, so I have to say no first. .

"What's the point of that?"

"Let's stay and eat, it's rare to have good wine today." Old Man Qin said.

"Hey, then I won't be polite, I'll help you pick some big green peppers." Then Bai ran away in a hurry.

"..." Qin Huai.

"This kid is still the same. Qin Huai, you go and prepare, take out the meat, and I'll cook it later." Old man Qin couldn't help but laugh.

After a while, Bai Xia came back with green peppers, and then followed Qin Huai to pick vegetables in the vegetable field. After picking vegetables and washing them, he was so busy, it was rare for Qin Huai to see his father so happy.

At dusk, they ate on the stone table in Qin Huai's house. Bai Xia puffed his cheeks and began to eat, humming while eating. Every time he came to deliver mountain wine since he was a child, Old Qin Tou would make it for him. He also eats happily every time.

Qin Huai is actually a talkative person, and he started chatting with Baixia when he came and went.The previous experience of the two people can be regarded as having a common language, and they laughed and ate this meal so happily.

It was from this meal that Bai Xia became acquainted with Qin Huai.It’s okay, two people are talking nonsense together, or talking and laughing in-depth research on how to raise cattle scientifically and rationally, or how to grow vegetables scientifically and rationally.Qin Huai didn't ask about Baixia's past, in fact, even if he didn't ask him, his father probably knew all about it.Sometimes Bai Xia brazenly chats with Qin Huai about things like 4P, 4C, 4CS, 4R, 4I③, and uses what he knows to talk to Qin Huai. Going together, we really have a common language.

Baixia was still the same as usual, staying in the cowshed during the day, just as several heifers were giving birth one after another, each calf was given a subsidy, and now the state subsidy is directly paid to the bank. In the public account, there is no problem of corruption.And if the little male calf can be sold directly, the market for the little male calf is still good.Baixia probably doesn't have any big ambitions now, just raising cattle and living a peaceful life.

This day, Baixia saw the fireworks lit in the opposite yard, so he went over to chat.

Qin Huai leaned on the stone table, watching the cigarette in his hand flickering.

"Do you really only want to raise cattle?" Qin Huai asked.

"At present, I only want to raise cattle and grow vegetables."

"Have you considered developing in the past?"

"I don't know, I just feel happy now."

"You didn't have any goals before you came back?"

"Goal? I really haven't decided yet."

Now Baixia has to admit that his original intention of coming back was to "escape". He just wanted to live casually in the countryside and get rid of the blow of unemployment first, but he didn't go too far to think about what kind of effect he wanted to achieve in the future. long term problem.Even though I thought about it a lot at the beginning, but when I got busy, I gradually forgot about it.Baixia began to seriously think about his own future, as well as the future of the entire Shuguang Village.

"But you say that, I really want to make some plans for my future. Although I am comfortable in this way, but if I am comfortable for a long time, people will have problems. I can't do this, and it will go against my original intention of coming back."

The warm wind blows slowly at night, so warm and gentle.

Qin Huai was smoking a cigarette in one hand while looking up at the sky, which was full of stars.

"Don't tell me, you really can't see such a beautiful starry sky in the city, that's all there is to the countryside." Bai Xia also looked up at the starry sky.

"You know, the best memory in my life is that in the summer in the yard, my father hugged me to watch the Ursa Major meteor shower, and then pointed out to me the constellations in the sky, and told me the story of the constellations." Qin Huai smiled.

"If you could see shooting stars now, what wish would you make?" Qin Huai asked.

"Um, wish, it should be to live well and live happily. What about you, Qin Huai, what wish do you have?"

"I wonder if my wish will come true in this life?"

"It seems that your wish is very ambitious, and it may not be realized."

Qin Huai just smiled without saying a word. His wish can be realized, but he will pay a great price, maybe he himself, so before he fails, he wants to do what he can, such as taking care of his father more.

So under such a beautiful night sky, two people have their own concerns, one is thinking about his future, and the other is thinking about his present.

After returning home, Qin Huai figured it out. He wanted to build the village he grew up in so that it would no longer be so dilapidated. This kind of construction is not just about setting up a cowshed by himself and solving a few employment problems, isn't it? It was not a matter of his own money making, but of the prosperity of the whole village.Thinking about it, Bai Xia guessed that his own structure was only this big, and he probably couldn't bear even more ambitious goals.

When you have goals, you can always act better, or if you have a direction for your struggle, then the next step is to refine your goals and decompose the steps that need to be achieved.

Baixia thought that he could develop green food, do deep processing directly, or make local special products to create a special brand here. If such an enterprise is successful, then the whole village can participate.If the road is good, you can still have farmhouse entertainment, but the road will not be good at present, this place is still too remote, and the road needs to be repaired.He thought that one day he would ask Qin Huai what to do with the brand he wanted.But Baixia knew that Qin Huai was a famous brand manager. In this place, an expert descended from the sky, and Baixia felt that he was really lucky.
