Farming from the end of the world

The rainy season in Hening County is not too long. It lasted for the whole of June, and in mid-July, it gradually cleared up and the rain gradually decreased.

Zhou Lu naturally came back after the summer vacation. At the same time, the village also welcomed some tourists one after another.

Some are locals from Hening County. I heard from various sources that there are fresh peaches and apricots that can be picked in this village, and there are also lotus flowers to see. Anyway, the distance is not far, and I would like to spend half a day here to play and buy some fresh fruits. Lotus pod or native chicken.

Zhou Lu also designed some promotional brochures and placed them at the front desk of Wang Hong's hotel for publicity. Hening County is a small tourist town, and their village is not far away. Although there are few scenic spots, there are quite a few tourists who are willing to go to the countryside. Come.

In addition, there are fans of Chen Guo's account. These people are watching Chen Guo raising chickens, planting trees and building houses every day. They are not picky about the current simple attractions. Chen Guo discussed with the soliciting bus of Eagle Valley. Cooperation, it is also convenient for these fans to go to other nearby attractions along the way.

Seeing that there were indeed tourists coming, Chen Cheng also contacted Chen Guo, and the two families each contributed some money to speed up the construction of the lotus pond.At this time, a small shop has been built beside the lotus pond, which is in charge of Chen Cheng's daughter-in-law, who also sells some fresh lotus flowers. Ten Diaoyutais have also been set up. Since the trees planted are not long enough to shade the sun, the stands There are large umbrellas for sunshade.

Although the fish that were put into the pond were big seedlings, the fish that had only been raised for a few months were not plump enough. Fortunately, these tourists did not come here out of the mentality of catching fish and eating them. They spent 20 yuan per hour just to Just playing.

The current homestay is always full. Fortunately, there are not many rooms, and Qian Lin, who has Liang Lu as a helper, is also busy.

Speaking of Liang Lu, Chen Guo was also quite worried about her novel. After all, she was the one who instigated this matter. If it was really a waste of time to fetch water from the bamboo basket, and the hard work ended up with no benefit, then she would feel embarrassed.

Fortunately, Liang Lu's novels for so many years are not in vain. Regarding the setting of the novel's plot, the subject matter that readers like, and the attractive characters, she is roughly clear. It took half a month to revise and rewrite a few chapters and posted them on the Internet. Now I have already signed a contract with Jiangjiang Novel.com, and keep updating it every day. Although I have no income yet, according to Qian Lin, I have a lot of collections and comments, and I can only charge when the number of words is reached.

Overall, everything is going in a good direction.

The peaches and apricots that Chen Guo planted were sold in Qian Lin's small shop, and there were several waves of picking activities, and now they are basically picked.Although these small trees did not bear much fruit, and some were lost due to insect pests and the rainy season, they also brought him more than 1 yuan in income.

It’s just that some tourists have too heavy hands and feet when picking, and they tore off a lot of branches and leaves when picking fruits.Chen Guo planned to wait until autumn to trim the orchard, pruning branches, spraying medicine, and topdressing fertilizer.His mountain forest land is not considered fertile. If the fertilization is not in place, it is estimated that there will be no good flowers and fruit next year.

Today's dinner was cooked by Zhou Lu as usual. After eating stewed pork ribs with carrots and fried shredded chayote, Chen Guo planned to go out for a walk.

"Where are you going?" Zhou Lv asked casually while packing up the dishes.

"Walk around casually." Chen Guo replied, and asked casually, "Are you going?"

"Go." Zhou Lu, who had been waiting for this question for a long time, decisively tore off the apron around his waist, and put the dishes and chopsticks into the basin, "I'll clean up later when I come back."

Chen Guo silently glanced at the bowls and chopsticks waiting to be cleaned, and didn't say much, since he wasn't the one to do the washing when he came back anyway.

In July, the temperature is already very high. Fortunately, the countryside is sparsely populated, and there are no tall buildings to block the evening wind. It will be cool after a while.

Now they are basically on the right track, Chen Guo is in a good mood, humming the background music of the game he was playing while walking, the cheerful tune also infected Zhou Lu, making the corners of his mouth twitch up.

Chen Guo first arrived at the lotus pond. Chen Cheng and his wife happened to be closing the door of the canteen, and greeted Chen Guo enthusiastically when they saw Chen Guo.

"Brother Chen Cheng, sister-in-law, is business going well today?" Chen Guo was also smiling, and picked up a wilted lotus pod on the dustpan in front of the door to play with.

"Business is good today. Diaoyutai has never been idle. I'm thinking of getting ten more!" Chen Cheng's daughter-in-law Zhu Xiaoping smiled brightly. She used to work in a factory in the county, and the assembly line was constantly busy I can't stop, I do some mechanical work from morning to night every day, and I don't have much money, and it makes people's brains numb.

Now that I have opened this small shop, there is her man who does heavy work, and I have nothing to do every day. I just blow on the fan and brush my phone. When the phone is tired, I look up and see a beautiful lotus pond. It is easy and I earn more money than before. A lot, and the mood is much better.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, you can observe and see how many tourists are waiting for Diaoyutai to come out at the highest peak. If there are not many people, then forget it. Rare things are more expensive, and more people will not be rare." Chen Guo laughed. , These days, he often comes to the lotus pond to have a look. In his opinion, the Diaoyutai is enough for now.

Those fishing tourists are mostly there for novelty and fun, and they leave in an hour at most, and the rotation of people is fast. At present, their number of tourists is not large, and ten Diaoyutais are completely enough.

"Okay, let's listen to Xiaoguo, then I'll take a look!" Hearing that what he said was reasonable, Zhu Xiaoping smiled and nodded in agreement.

After chatting for a few more words and saying goodbye to the couple, Chen Guo took the lotus pod and peeled the lotus seeds while walking. Although the lotus pod was a little wilted after being exposed to the sun for a day, the lotus seeds inside were not affected, and the taste was quite clear. Sweet and crisp.

Handed a few to Zhou Lu, Chen Guo ate the rest but still felt unsatisfied, and couldn't help turning his eyes to the lotus pond beside him.

The lotus pods that can be easily reached on the periphery of the lotus pond have been plucked. Now to pick the lotus pods, one must take Chen Cheng's fish-feeding boat to the middle of the lotus pond.

"Hey, can you row a boat?" Turning to look at Zhou Lu, Chen Guo asked, he himself has no rowing experience, if Zhou Lv also can't row a boat, then he can only give up the lotus pod.

Zhou Lv hesitated for a while: "Yes, but..." He looked at the sky, the sun had already set and the light became dim, "It's a bit late, and it's more dangerous to row a boat now."

"It's fine if you know how to row a boat. What are you afraid of? I accidentally fell into the water and I can swim." Hearing that he said yes, Chen Guo immediately pulled him to the side of the boat docked on the shore. He didn't say anything, just followed obediently.

In order to prevent any accidents caused by tourists rowing privately, this small wooden boat was locked to the shore with an iron chain. Fortunately, Chen Guo also had a spare key, so she jumped on the boat after opening the lock.

"What are you dawdling about, come quickly!" Chen Guo turned her head to greet Zhou Lu after sitting firmly on the swaying boat.

The sky was dark, and only half of the moon was shining on the earth. The faint moonlight shone on Chen Guo's face, hazy, but Zhou Lu's heart was inexplicably confused.

Covering his heart, Zhou Lu boarded the boat silently, took the paddle and rowed towards the lush lotus leaves.

"The level is not bad, it's quite stable." Chen Guo praised, and then asked, "By the way, how do you know how to row a boat?"

Zhou Lu paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly before saying, "Representing the school in the Dragon Boat Festival."

He has participated in many of these various activities, not because he has a wide range of hobbies, but after these activities, there are always some prizes and souvenirs.

Pens, notebooks, sportswear, schoolbags, cafeteria recharge cards, things that are not worth mentioning in the eyes of others can save him a lot of money.

But now-

He rowed the boat, seeing the satisfied expression on Chen Guo's face, but sincerely felt that the ability to row a boat was really good.

The boat sailed leisurely into the depths of the lotus root flowers, and it was difficult to move forward because of the luxuriant branches and leaves, so Zhou Lv stopped the oars and let the boat float slowly.

Chen Guo picked up five or six fresh and plump lotus pods and was satisfied. She peeled and ate the lotus seeds by herself, and threw the peeled lotus seed skin and lotus heart on the surface of the water, attracting a few fish to snatch the food.

There was a cool breeze blowing on the water, the breeze blowing on the face carried the light fragrance of lotus, chewing the crisp and juicy lotus seeds in her mouth, and teasing the silly fish in her hand, Chen Guo couldn't say how comfortable she was.

"It's the second year of high school. Although it's a bit early, have you considered what major to apply for the college entrance examination?" Chen Guo, who considered herself Zhou Lu's parent while eating lotus seeds, asked casually.

Zhou Lu naturally thought about this question, and he simply answered: "I want to learn photography." Although he was not qualified to study, he was very interested in photography when he first came into contact with photography. He read a lot of related articles in libraries and bookstores. books.After receiving the old mobile phone as a gift from the teacher, I often practice it. Although the equipment is simple, the art teacher who has a little understanding of this once praised his photography works as very inspirational.It was also because of this that he had the confidence to talk to Chen Guo about cooperation back then.

"Not bad." Chen Guo praised casually, this visitor from another world seems to have no idea how much money it costs to learn this, "Come on!"

"I will work hard." Zhou Lu said softly, the voice was very soft, but the promise was as heavy as a thousand catties.

"Crack!" But his promise obviously didn't reach Chen Guo's ears. Chen Guo slapped a mosquito on his arm to death, and scratched the itchy swelling: "There are too many mosquitoes, scratch them back quickly." !"

Zhou Lv: ...

He ate while walking, and when he got home, Chen Guo had just finished eating the lotus pod in his hand.Patting his stomach in satisfaction, he went straight into the bathroom, washed up and went to bed.

As for Zhou Lu, what awaited him was a basin of unwashed dishes.
