"What kind of gloves are you wearing for this job?" Su Changmin turned around, stretched his waist, and looked at Su Xing for a while, "When did you come back?"

"I just came back and sat at home for a while." Su Xing looked at the ridge and said, "There are quite a lot of grasses here. Can we just spray some medicine?"

"You can't spray everything. There are always some places that are not hit." Su Changmin threw the grass in his hand on the ridge, where there is sunlight. Once the sun shines, it will die in a few hours. "Besides,

The fruits we grow are all sent to the second factory. The quality requirements are very high and pesticides cannot be used casually. Didn't you see that there are chickens and ducks in the garden? This is how to catch insects and eat grass."

Su Xing nodded and didn't say anything more. The orchards and greenhouses have expert guidance. Experts will come over at fixed times every year, including people from the second factory, to guide them on how to plant.

"It's better to wear gloves or get a hoe. If you pull it with your hands like this, you may accidentally cut your hand." Su Xing still advised.

You can live a very refined life in the countryside. Even if you don't have much money, you can still be very comfortable if you clean it up and do a little tinkering. However, many rural people are not well educated and do not have this awareness. They can only wait until the post-80s, post-90s, or even

When people born in the 2000s returned to the countryside as adults, they transformed the countryside into a poetic and pastoral life, which many people envied.

The older generation has suffered too much and lived a difficult life, while young people want to live a wonderful life.

"It's okay, you can go do your thing." Su Changmin waved his hand and went to the peach tree nearby to pick two big peaches, "These are late peaches, they are quite sweet."

Su Xing took it and walked towards Maqiao Lake. After walking for a while, he looked back and saw that Su Changmin was still pulling weeds with his hands.

Once a person finds his self-worth, his potential and endurance are unimaginable.

Su Xing had just arrived at the lake. A boat was rowed over from the center of the lake. Ma Guoqiang held up the bamboo pole. The boat slid five or six meters away, and it took him a few seconds to reach Su Xing.

"Uncle Ma." Su Xing jumped on the boat, "Your skills are pretty good. The boat is getting slippery."

"No, I have to do it four or five times every day." Ma Guoqiang smiled and nodded, "Many tourists asked me to take them around the lake and give them money. A trip costs 20 yuan."

"That's not bad, it's good to make some extra money." Su Xing washed the peach in the lake water and handed one to Ma Guoqiang. Ma Guoqiang shook his head, and Su Xing took a bite himself. It was fragrant and sweet, "This peach is good, very good.

eat."

"Experts come here every year to provide guidance. They are people with a lot of knowledge. They also bring a lot of instruments and tinker in the orchard. The peaches are much more delicious than the peaches we grow ourselves. They are big and sweet." Ma Guoqiang said, "However,

Don’t eat too many peaches, otherwise you will get flatulence.”

"After all, they have more professional knowledge, and they also have instruments and equipment, and a lot of data that can be used as reference." Su Xing nodded, "The water in the lake is a bit shallow. It hasn't rained at home for a long time, right?"

The source of Maqiao Lake is the Yangtze River. The tributaries meandering from the Yangtze River flow into the lake. There is also a harbor under the lake. At the end of the harbor there is a small house with a water pump.

In the past, when we were in the brigade, we relied on water pumps to pump water for irrigation in the village, and now this pump has not stopped.

"It hasn't rained for a month." Ma Guoqiang nodded. "The lake has become shallower. If it doesn't rain anymore, some water will have to be brought in from the river. But you have to apply for it. I didn't accept those who asked me to row.

their money."

"Why don't you take their money? Those who can come and play must have more money." Su Xing said, "And this is not about ripping off customers. It is about selling your labor to get paid. What are you embarrassed about? You pay for everything.

A harvest is the same principle everywhere.”

"It's true, but you can get 20 yuan just by riding a boat along the lake. You can earn dozens of yuan by running three or four times a day. You can earn two to three thousand yuan a month."

." Ma Guoqiang held up a bamboo pole and took Su Xing into a lotus leaf to pick lotus pods. "I feel a little bit unrealistic even thinking about it.

In fact, it was not always possible to earn so much money in a year in the past. I had to work hard in the fields and had to depend on the weather for food. Now I can earn so much income just by boating. It’s scary. Anyway, I just have nothing to do.

They can make money by circling the lake, and they can sit on it if they want. As long as I can still move, there is no charge for riding on my boat."

"If you don't have so many lotus pods, just pick a few to try." Su Xing knew that Ma Guoqiang picked these lotus pods for him, and it was the same when he came back last year. "This is the benefit of the pastoral scenery. Our village, including several nearby villages, is now

It can be regarded as an idyllic scenery. It attracts tourists from other places to come and play. They will definitely spend money when they come to play. Naturally, it is better than

Farming is much more cost-effective. Just like rice, it doesn’t cost much, only about one yuan per kilogram. But when this kilogram of rice is processed into glutinous rice cake, the price will rise a bit. If the glutinous rice cake is repackaged and prepared,

A beautiful packaging box can also push up the price, or if a pound of rice is turned into wine, the price will be even more expensive."

The peach core was thrown directly into the lake, and Su Xing washed his hands: "The countryside is just like this rice. A rural area without decoration and packaging has no value. After being packaged and turned into a tourist attraction, even a chicken can be sold.

It’s two or three times the price of ordinary chicken.”

"Is it that exaggerated?" Ma Guoqiang said with a smile, "The chickens in the village are not much different from the chickens outside, and they can be sold for two or three times the price?"

"That's for sure. Most of the chickens sold in the city are chickens from farms. They are kept in cages and look listless. How can they be as nutritious as chickens raised outside?" Su Xing said, "When the weather gets cooler, invite a few celebrities.

Come to us to promote it and advertise on TV, and then there will be more guests coming to visit."

"Reporters from the city came to interview, and reporters from the province also came." Ma Guoqiang said, "There are many more tourists than before. Some people come and don't have a place to live, so they look for accommodation in nearby villages. Many people

They all packed up their rooms for tourists to stay in.”

The village used collective land to build a hotel, right by the lake. There are two hotels, but they are still not enough to accommodate tourists.

Nowadays, Maqiao Lake is considered a well-known tourist attraction in the province.

There are orchards where you can pick fruits yourself, farms where you can experience the pastoral scenery, and water where you can fish and boat.

"By the way, have you seen your dad when you got home?" Ma Guoqiang suddenly asked.

"I saw him when I came here just now. He was pulling weeds in the garden." Su Xing said, "What's wrong?"
