Chapter 20 Zhang's Father and Zhang's Mother

Early the next morning, Liu Xiaoyu didn't expect that he could sleep peacefully that night. It seems that sometimes his lazy temperament is still beneficial.

After getting up, he walked to the door of the living room. The wet ground in the yard reminded him that the spring rain did not appear in his dream last night.

After the rain, the sky was clear, and the sky was washed by a night rain, which was particularly blue. The white clouds in the sky were floating leisurely with the wind. The air was filled with pleasant fragrance of grass. When I opened the courtyard door and looked around, the faint mist was shrouded in the distance like a layer of gauze.

On a whim, Liu Xiaoyu didn't even bother to wash up. His body was unfolded. His troubled thoughts were completely beaten by each move of boxing.

After punching, Liu Xiaoyu finished the morning trivial matters and called Zhang Shun's parents, telling them that they were already at home and that if they had time, they could come directly. The other party agreed on the phone.

After walking out of the yard, Liu Xiaoyu patrolled the one-and-two-point land beside his house. Counting the time, there is still more than a month before the strawberry listing. If the strawberry seedlings needed this week can be all and the greenhouse is ready, the time will be up to the time and the strawberry listing will be on this time.

After walking around and walking back to the gate of the courtyard, looking at the still deserted mountains in the distance, Liu Xiaoyu felt a little anxious. When will his career start?

Liu Xiaoyu stayed in the living room for a while and read the book. It was almost ten o'clock. Liu Xiaoyu just thought Zhang Shun's parents would not come so early, but there was a shout outside the yard:

"Is Xiao Liu at home?"

You can tell that it was Zhang's father's voice when you heard the sound. Liu Xiaoyu quickly got up and left the house and shouted:

"At home, at home, please come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, two people walked into the gate of the yard. It was indeed Zhang's father and mother. Liu Xiaoyu hurriedly greeted them and invited them into the living room. Zhang's father and mother were embarrassed to go in at first because the village road was muddy, and there was some yellow mud on their feet.

After learning about this, Liu Xiaoyu hurried back to the house and took a pair of thin cottons for the two of them to put them in, and then they entered the house.

There was no space tea, after all, that thing was too noticeable. So Liu Xiaoyu just brewed two cups of ordinary tea and placed it in front of Zhang’s father and mother.

After both sides sat down, they did not get into the topic from the beginning, but instead exchanged greetings first.

After the chat, after drinking two cups of tea, Liu Xiaoyu began to say the topic:

"Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, Zhang Shun should have told you about some of my thoughts when he went home this time?"

"Shunzi said it, but we still want to hear you say it." Zhang's father did not speak, but Zhang's mother spoke.

"Oh, okay, Uncle and Aunt Zhang are like this. You two know that I rented some land in the village. I was going to build a greenhouse of strawberries next to the house, and the mountain was going to plant some green plums, blueberries, etc. But I was too busy alone, so I wanted to ask a few people to help. First of all, I thought of you two, so I asked Zhang Shun to help you tell you if it's OK." Liu Xiaoyu said.

"If the greenhouse strawberries are made together with the fruit trees in the mountain, even if we come, it will not be enough." Zhang's mother thought about it after hearing this.

"Of course I won't do it together. At present, the most important thing is to build strawberries in the greenhouse. The land is not big. Just build a shed and ridge the land. I have already told the village chief about the strawberry seedlings that I want to buy two-year-old strawberry seedlings. As long as I take care of the farming, I can ripen the fruits when the strawberries are on the market this time." Liu Xiaoyu said.

"That's fine. When buying greenhouse materials, you can ask the other party to send someone to assist in the installation. In addition, the three of us are basically enough. However, when will you implement the strawberry seedlings?" Zhang's mother asked very seriously.

"I will contact the village chief again today. I think it should not be a problem this week." Liu Xiaoyu said after thinking about it.

"Well, if this is the case, you can first get the shed and the ground up, so that the strawberry seedlings will be alive as soon as they arrive." Zhang's mother said.

"Ha... Aunt Zhang is very expert, why? Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang have done this?" Liu Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"I didn't know anything about it. Didn't she hear her son say something the day before yesterday, and went to the county to find someone who knows what she knows about it and asked, otherwise she wouldn't understand this?" Zhang's father interrupted and said.

"Ha...Aunt Zhang, you are such a capable person." Liu Xiaoyu smiled and said, looking at Aunt Zhang who was staring at him because of Zhang's words.

"Are those two willing to come to me to help?" Liu Xiaoyu continued.

"Xiao Liu, as the saying goes: In the early days, our family also has a few acres of land, and living a whole year is not a problem. His father also has some skills in repairing motors, and he can make some money in a year. So we want to ask, if we come to you to help, what kind of treatment can you give?" Zhang's mother pondered for a while and said.

"Yes, yes, the words are about being ahead, otherwise how do you do things? Aunt Zhang, you said it well. I think so. You choose to get money per month or share profits. If you get money per month, I will pay you 1,200 to each of you a month. If you choose to share profits, I will give you 20% of the total sales of strawberry this time." Liu Xiaoyu said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang's mother made a calculation in her mind. Strawberries can be produced for two seasons a year. A mu of strawberry land is divided according to the variety. The few can collect more than 1,000 kilograms, and the more can collect about 2,000 kilograms.

According to her understanding, in previous years, when strawberries were first launched, the price was the most expensive. Nanjing urban area could generally be sold for 15 to 20 yuan per catty. As the price of strawberries fell after large batches, the lowest price could be sold for 7 or 8 yuan per catty.

The self-picked strawberries provided by large strawberry fields in Fujiabian, Lishui County, not only can it be sold at a price of more than 10 yuan per catty, but it can also bring some other income.

If it is sold on an average of five yuan a pound, it will be 1.5bsp per pound; “We should get our monthly salary, but Xiao Liu can’t go home for dinner because we are here to help us, so I want to ask if you care about the meal?” Zhang’s mother thought for a long time and finally made a relatively safe decision.

"Since you, I will take care of both lunch and dinner. Since you and the two of you have decided to come and help, the family must be arranged, otherwise it will be not good if you get busy and you won't find anyone." Liu Xiaoyu said.

"No problem. We will handle the family affairs in the past two days. Today is Monday and Wednesday." Zhang's mother said.

"Okay, since you have decided to get your monthly salary, well, let's do this, I will pay you one month's salary in advance, and then support it on a monthly basis. Is it okay?" Liu Xiaoyu said.

"No problem." Zhang's mother said straightforwardly.

"Okay, come on, I'll use tea instead of wine. Thank you for coming and helping you." Liu Xiaoyu picked up the teacup and said.

The two sides talked about some details. Considering that Zhang's mother is indeed very capable, Liu Xiaoyu didn't want to be too busy in everything, so he called trust. He wanted to be lazy and handed over the task of purchasing greenhouse materials to Zhang's mother.

I threw a passbook I had handled in the rural credit cooperative in the town when I first came to Zhang's mother. It had 20,000 yuan on it and told the other party the password for withdrawals. I asked Zhang's mother to make the detailed account and I might check the account at any time.

Everything was done. Liu Xiaoyu sent Zhang's father and mother out, turned around and went into the house to pick up the phone to contact Liu Caichang. After the phone was connected, he learned that the other party was already busy in the county for Liu Xiaoyu's affairs, and the strawberry seedlings could be delivered by the weekend, all of which were two-year seedlings.
