Sun Fuqiang and Shen Chi chatted for a long time. Shen Chi also gave many suggestions on the development of joint farms. Sun Fuqiang listened attentively and wrote down each item.
As for the New Year customs in Songzhen, this year we still inherited the traditions from the previous two years, starting from the slaughter of New Year pigs after the winter solstice to make New Year's goods, and continuing to the Lantern Festival and lantern viewing on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
Dragon lanterns, lion dances, dragon boat rowing and temple fairs during the period have become Songzhen's repertoire. Due to the accumulation of popularity in the previous two years, this year's popularity has reached a new climax.
Songzhen's reputation has been completely established.
Because of what happened years ago, Shen Fang became the talk of everyone in the town. She was such a lively person, but she didn't even go to this year's temple fair, dragon lanterns, etc. She hid at home all day and refused to go out.
With her sister like this, Shen Chi was even more worried about going to school in the county town. A few days before the start of school, she went to the county No. 1 Middle School to find Teacher Song and told him apologetically about her situation.
Song Bin gave him all Shen Chi's file information: "Fortunately, I haven't told the principal about this, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get the job."
"I'm really sorry." Shen Chi apologized again.
"Okay, you have your own difficulties, take the information and go back to register as soon as possible." Song Bin said straightly that it doesn't matter.
"Then I'll go back first. Thank you, Teacher Song. Come to my house another day and I'll entertain you." Shen Chi said with a smile.
"My uncle often mentioned that your Lei Gongping is a good place for retirement. I really want to go and see it sometime." Song Bin responded with a smile.
"You're welcome at any time. I'll go back first, Teacher Song." Shen Chi said goodbye to Song Bin.
Song Bin sent Shen Chi out of the dormitory. Shen Chi took his file information and went directly back to the town high school to register.
It was a blessing from heaven for a student like him to come to the town high school. The teachers and principal of the town high school felt that they had missed the opportunity.
Shen Chi also expressed his thoughts, that is, he wanted to directly participate in the college entrance examination in July this year.
The teacher and principal looked at Shen Chi's past results and thought it would be OK for him to take the college entrance examination, so Shen Chi walked around outside and returned to his hometown.
The principal of the town high school directly arranged Shen Chi into the key class for the third year of high school, because Shen Chi had to take the college entrance examination this year and had to complete some subsequent documents. Of course, this was all the school's business.
When Shen Chi returned home, she told her family that she was going back to the town to attend high school.
Shen Fang said with a puzzled look: "You are doing well in the city, why do you want to transfer back?"
"Isn't this just for you? I don't trust you like this. I can take care of you when you return to our town." Shen Chi said.
"I am your sister, not Xiaowei Xiaoyun and the others." Shen Fang gritted her teeth.
"Xiao Chi is right. With him here, you and your brother and sister can take care of you." Shen Changlin also agreed with Shen Chi's return to the town.
"Sister, you don't seem happy when I come back?" Shen Chi said confused.
"Thank you so much." Shen Fang went back to her room depressedly.
She has to live under the aura of her brother who is the god of learning again. Shen Fang regrets that she has been too decadent these days. She should have cheered up earlier and let others say what they say. She can't lose a piece of flesh, so it's better now.
, Recruited a scholarly younger brother back.
If Chen Fang knew that Shen Chi, who had transferred back, was not only assigned to her class, but also had to take this year's college entrance examination like her, her mentality would be even worse.
But this matter couldn't be hidden for long. Shen Fang found out on the first day of school that Shen Chi was in the same class as her, so she didn't know how to face her classmates.
In fact, her classmates were just like her. They were in the same class with a scholar who was several years younger than them. They were also under a lot of pressure. They felt that all the books they had read over the years were in vain. How could they have the leisure to laugh at her?
In this way, Shen Chi studied in the town high school for a month. In the first monthly exam, Shen Chi ranked first in his grade group with an absolute advantage.
Shen Fang and another male classmate used to compete for first place, but now they are reduced to fighting for second place.
Previously, she was a little worried that Shen Chi wouldn't be able to keep up with her grades, but now the teacher was completely relieved.
After returning to the town, he was close to home, and he could still take care of the store nearby. Shen Chi found that it was much better than in the county city.
The milk tea shop also officially opened after the New Year. Because there were no customers for a while, Guo Xiaohui had to go through it.
Fortunately, the two stores are right next to each other, so manpower can be mobilized on both sides.
The milk tea shop was a novelty, and it attracted many people as soon as it opened. Huang Dong used the fruits produced in Shen Chi's orchard and tried to mix a variety of flavors, which became very popular for a while.
The tea produced by the two tea trees on Lei Gongping will definitely not be available. For the time being, the tea needed by the milk tea shop can only be bought outside.
Therefore, Shen Chi focused on the cultivation of tea trees this year. The tea tree seeds collected years ago had already been planted, and a total of more than a hundred new seedlings were produced. Shen Chi asked his father to find someone to transplant them to the open space under the orchard.
The tea garden will not be of use in a short period of time, and at least the milk tea shop will have to buy tea from outside for more than a year.
Because Shen Zhou also went to elementary school this year, for the convenience of going to school, Shen Chi specially packed up a room in the courtyard next to the museum as a temporary residence for him and Shen Zhou.
As a result, there were seven school-going children living in the yard. Shen Chi originally wanted to hire someone to do laundry and cooking, but Mrs. Xiao volunteered to come over to take care of her grandson. Shen Chi couldn't resist the old man, so he had to do this job.
Gave it to her.
Shen Chi didn't go to the city's No. 1 middle school this semester. Looking at the opportunity for weekend vacation, Liu Yuzhe and his foursome came over.
Shen Chi was helping out at a shop in town and opened a milk tea shop next to the bakery. The business between them was surprisingly good.
Shen Chi is considered a celebrity in this area of Song Town. As soon as they asked for Shen Chi, someone immediately pointed Liu Yuzhe and the others to Leigongping.
The more the four of them walked, the more they felt something was wrong.
"Did we make a mistake before? This place doesn't look like a poor mountain ravine." Wang Meng looked at the scenery along the road and said with confusion.
When they passed through the gate of the joint farm, they were even more shocked when they saw the scenery in front of them.
The land as far as the eye can see is smooth and smooth, with clear lines between paddy fields and land. The wheat seedlings and seedlings in the fields are swaying into waves of green in the breeze.
The green hills on all sides are covered with chestnuts and bamboos, and the mountain villages are looming in the forest. The bluestone paths are clean and tidy. There are rockery rocks and various flowers, plants and trees beside the paths. The stone walls are like a beautiful oil painting.
"Look, there's a big rose there!" Zhang Cong shouted, pointing to the seven-color roses in the small garden next to the parking lot.
The rose is now as thick as an arm. In order to attract tourists, Sun Fufu specially built a small garden around the rose tree and connected it to the parking lot.
Behind the rose tree is a hill several meters high. The original plan was to bulldoze the hill. In order to make the artificial landscape look elegant, Sun Fuqiang deliberately transformed the hill.
With rockeries built and plum blossoms planted, this place has now become the farm’s signature. Anyone who comes here must take photos as a souvenir.
"It's still a seven-color rose!" Yang Ming also shouted loudly.
The four of them ran to the rose tree and saw it was more than three meters high and full of flowers in red, yellow, blue, white, black, pink and purple. They were amazed and amazed.
Since this seven-color rose was chosen as the farm's signature, Sun Fuqiang and the others regarded it very preciously. Not only did they build a half-meter-high bluestone flower bed, they also surrounded it with bamboo fences.
Visitors can only watch from a distance and are not allowed to play up close.
"Young men, are you from the city?" Uncle Liu, who was responsible for guarding the seven-color roses, saw that Liu Yuzhe was very popular, so he took the initiative to ask.
"Hello, uncle, we are here to see Shen Chi. Do you know him?" Zhang Cong asked Uncle Liu.
"Of course I know him. His home is on Leigongping." As Liu said, everyone pointed in the direction of Leigongping: "Did you see the bamboo forest in front of you? That's Leigongping. You follow this road.
If you walk forward, you will naturally see the way up the mountain."
"Thank you, uncle." After knowing the direction, several people immediately thanked Uncle Liu and said goodbye.
Walking along the road to the end, turning to the side, there was indeed a road up the mountain. The four of them walked along the mountain road for more than ten minutes before reaching a spacious flat land.
The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and plum trees and osmanthus trees are planted around it. It looks like a parking lot.
When they got to the level ground, several people were immediately startled by the large courtyard on the bluestone steps in front of them.
"This will be Shen Chi's house!" Yang Ming immediately shouted.
"Damn, we were all deceived by him." Zhang Cong said with an indignant look: "Let's go! Let's settle the score with him! He deceived us for a whole semester by cheating us out of food and drinks. It's really abominable!"
The gate of the farmhouse was open, and the four of them walked in while shouting: "Is there anyone there?"
Shen Chunzhi happened to be taking care of her child in the hall. Hearing this, she came out with her daughter in her arms. When she saw four young men, she hurriedly asked: "Who are you looking for?"
"Is this Shen Chi's home?" Liu Yuzhe asked.
Shen Chunzhi smiled and replied: "Yes, you are..."
"We are Shen Chi's classmates. If Shen Chi doesn't go to school this semester, let's come over and have a look." Liu Yuzhe said again.
"Classmate of Shen Chi, please sit down in the room." Shen Chunzhi hurriedly invited people into the room.
Liu Yuzhe and the others entered the house. The main room was tall and spacious, far beyond the Tongzi Tower in their city.
"Shen Chi is in the town down the mountain. You guys sit down for a while and I'll ask Shen Chi's father to find Shen Chi." As he spoke, Shen Changlin and the farm workers finished their work and went home.
Shen Chunzhi hurriedly said to Shen Changlin: "Second brother, you came back just in time. Classmate Shen Chi is looking for him. Go to town and call him back."
"Hello, Uncle Shen." They had dinner with Shen Changlin, and they were all familiar with each other. They greeted him hurriedly when he came back.
"Hello, please sit down for a while, and I'll call Shen Chi right away." After Shen Changlin said that, he hurriedly drove his light truck down the mountain road at the edge of the field.
Within twenty minutes, Shen Chi's voice came from outside the courtyard: "Liu Yuzhe, Zhang Cong, why are you here?"
"Shen Chi, you are a big liar, you deceived us so hard!" Zhang Cong was the first to rush out when he heard Shen Chi's voice.
