Long years (49)

There's something wrong with this girl Qingning recently.

As soon as I hear any movement in the alley, no matter what I am doing, I just drop down and run out.

What are you looking at?

Lin Yutong followed her and looked around several times, but still didn't find out what she was looking at.

Sometimes Qingping would come over, and the two sisters would bump heads and whisper together, not knowing what they were busy with.

Adults don't have time to pay attention to these things, they have other things to do.

What are you busy with? After planting fruit trees, people start to collect taxes on agricultural and forestry specialties.

This agricultural tax is an agricultural tax, and the agricultural and forestry special product tax is also an agricultural and forestry special product tax. After that, there is also public grain. These are all levied by the state. Then there are collectives, such as collective fund-raising, saying that they need to build production roads, saying that they need to build a canal, and then

He also said that the brigade headquarters is old and needs to raise funds. This also includes the fines that families who have children from time to time have to pay.

Calculated this way, after growing food for a year, the more you grow, the poorer you become.

The few acres of orchard behind my house have irregular terrain, but it should be about four or five acres. A large group of people came here, mainly to test the orchard's yield. If the yield is more, the more tax will be collected, and if the yield is less, the tax will be collected naturally.

Taxes are low. Brother Yuan Gai is a better person. He laughed when he saw the fourth master and Lin Yutong. He knew it was their yard, but he said it to the second brother, "These are all my brothers. Don't say anything. According to the two acres

Just forget it."

One sentence is half of it.

This is not worthy of others' sentiments.

Appreciation is necessary. But the flexibility of taxation is very large. Those who are incompetent, or who are not very capable, not good at communication, honest and coward, will they be bullied?

Definitely got it!

As long as someone reports the production volume, they will have to pay a lot of money.

Besides, is the production measurement accurate? Even if it is accurate, no one knows what will happen if the fruit is not harvested or sold. Let’s not talk about natural disasters. Sometimes there will be a heavy rain or a hailstorm.

How much is left? Let’s avoid talking about this unpredictable factor and just talk about human operation. The proportion of pesticides is slightly wrong. What should I do if the fruit drop phenomenon is serious? What should I do if the pests are not killed? The fruit is

It's still on the tree, but how many fruits with commercial value can be sold? There are other problems in the management process. For example, peeling and carving the tree. Peeling the tree is to peel off a finger-width at the trunk.

The purpose of cutting a strip of bark is to inhibit the production of the tree. Doing this before the fruit matures will help the fruit mature quickly. The same principle is used for carving the tree, but different methods are chosen according to the vitality of the tree. Use a knife on the tree

Drawing a circle also inhibits the growth of the tree. However, some trees seem to be losing their vitality and the leaves have turned yellow and wilted, so they dare not peel them too hard. Or depending on the condition of the fruits, they feel that it is not necessary to peel them so hard.

, just make a cut. But the severity is controlled by people. Just lie down on the ground and cut the trunk of the tree. Who can guarantee that every stroke will be so accurate and precise?

So, there is something wrong with this. If it is heavier, the tree will wither and the fruit will fall. Once a layer of fruit falls, who do you want to sell such fruit to?

They are treated as defective fruits and sold at a low price, often only a few cents per basket.

If all taxes are paid according to the output of finished products, will there be a loss?

Therefore, even though the yield was measured based on two acres of land, Jin Laoer still felt unhappy.

Many people murmured, mainly because tax collection in this way does not feel very transparent. Greater flexibility means there are more loopholes to exploit. Larger loopholes mean there are people who can manipulate things.

Even if the words are not clear, everyone feels that these village cadres are prospering than others, and there must be something fishy in them.

But again, it’s not that there is nothing we can do. People don’t like to make trouble. No one is a fool, but everyone thinks they are blind. That’s it.

But even so, many people still think that growing fruit trees is more cost-effective than growing food.

Many people come to see Fourth Master and Lin Yutong. Why? They say hello early and see if they can get saplings.

sure!

Other places don't have such a large quantity, but the Agricultural College really has a way to get it. Not to mention their original experimental nursery, the resources they have also mean that they can purchase more seedlings.

Lin Yutong called his teacher Qin Guo, which was also a revenue-generating thing for the school.

"The seedlings we buy now are all the seedlings that have failed to survive." Qin Guo said on the phone, "Let's do this. I'll find a place for you and ask someone to dig it. It doesn't cost any money. What's the result of this seedling?

It's going to be grafted. When the time comes for grafting, I'll get the scion strips of the variety and sell them at the price."

Then this couldn't be better.

The so-called saplings are other small saplings that sprout from the roots of the fruit trees. I also have these saplings in my orchard, but when they grow, I am afraid that they will rob them of nutrients, so I just use a hoe to get rid of them.

But even if it does grow, it won't be much, and it won't be enough for my own household.

The address given by Qin Guo is a barren mountain. It is close to the experimental base of the farm. This place is ownerless. It is full of wild apple trees. Maybe it is the right time to come. The barren mountain is full of red at first glance.

Wild apples are not big, not as big as hawthorns. When they grow naturally, they are very dense.

It can be seen that no one cares about this place at all.

It's definitely not possible to dig now, we'll have to wait until next spring.

After looking at the place, I went to see the teacher before coming back and brought some fruit. Lin Yutong said to the teacher: "You always say you have no money. You are really guarding the treasure mountain to beg for food."

The wild apples can be used as potted plants and sold for money.

Who said that colleges and universities can’t have their own affiliated enterprises? What can be done with such a large area as the experimental base? If this is made into a tourist spot for various plants in the future, it will make a lot of money every day. And the barren mountains, planned

When it comes to packaging, it’s money. The most important thing the Agricultural College lacks is technical strength.

As soon as he said this, Qin Guo slapped his forehead, "Oh! You really woke up the dreamer with your words. Why did the teacher find someone else to ask grandpa to sue grandma for funds? It's really... there are hugs from top to bottom.

I'm too lazy to study from books, but I'm really not as smart as you." Then he praised Lin Yutong, "So, I say you are the most suitable to be an official. You see, you can get rich with just one idea. When the teacher has got rid of poverty, you must

Thank you for your……"

After talking a lot and repeatedly promising to leave enough free young children, Lin Yutong headed back home.

When I heard that I could dig seedlings for free next year, almost every household came to me and expressed my intention to plant them.

This is out of the mentality of taking advantage. It doesn’t cost money anyway. Let’s plant it later.

Someone said, "Didn't I tell you that if you want this thing to bear fruit, you have to graft it. Grafting is easy to learn, but the scions cost money."

Someone else said, "Isn't it the same to buy less and graft a dozen or so trees? When our own trees have branches, we can use our own branches to make scions?"

it's the same.

But the result is that their fruit trees will bear fruit one year later than others.

I had a personal plan, and Lin Yutong contacted me and promised to notify me when the saplings were dug. This period of busyness was over.

When the child is about to start school, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master plan to take the child and the little old lady to squeeze in the small two rooms provided by the Animal Husbandry Bureau for a while, and let the newly allocated house dry out.

There’s nothing to take. If you’re missing anything, you can come back and pick it up. It’s only such a short distance anyway.

As a result, on the morning of the day of departure, crying could be heard in the alley.

After Qingning washed up, Lin Yutong pulled her into the room and asked her to put on her vest. At this time, the weather was getting colder, and it was a bit cold wearing a shirt.

As a result, when the girl heard the cry, her arms that had been tucked into her clothes came out again, opened the curtain and ran out of the house.

This isn't right.

Lin Yutong carried the child's vest in his hand and followed him out. The fourth master was putting large and small bags on the borrowed jeep. He raised his chin and nodded at the girl who ran out: "What's wrong?"

I want to know too.

Finally, I followed him out, followed the noise, and saw a young daughter-in-law in her twenties crying at the door: "My poor sister, why are you so miserable..."

I squinted to see clearly, and I saw that the face of this young daughter-in-law was very similar to Yan'er's face.

It seems that she is Yan'er's biological sister.

Lonicera did not expect to attract Yan'er's biological sister, "Why are you crying? Why are you crying? Let your parents speak! Who handed the child to us back then? What were the words? Life or death.

Follow us. Why are you making such a fuss over here? Are we your sister? Are we not being fed or clothed..."

"You didn't abuse her, so where did this letter come from?" Sister Yan'er wiped away the tears on her face and immediately jumped up, "You are cruel and ruthless. Our family did not give our sister to your family for you to abuse her."

Yan'er hugged her brother who kept crying and was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.

The young daughter-in-law pulled Yan'er over and said, "Sister, did they beat you?"

Yan'er understood the meaning and knew that this was her sister. But why did she recognize her as her sister? She had never seen her before. She was so frightened that she hugged the child and ran behind Lonicera, "Mom! Who is this person?"

"

With a cry of "Mother", Liao Dong stretched out her arm to block Yan'er's hand, and then snatched the letter from the other party's hand. She only glanced at it and frowned. She found that she didn't recognize many words on it.

Seeing Lin Yutong at the door, Liandong hurried over, "Tong, look what's written on it?"

It is written in traditional Chinese characters.

Standard regular script.

Although his language is immature, his writing skills are very good.

Moreover, this regular script is as standard as printed ones, and it is a font that is most difficult to see the handwriting.

Others don't know who wrote this, and they can't think of who wrote it. But Lin Yutong knows that there is no one except his own stinky girl.

Nowadays, not many people can write traditional Chinese characters so well.

She smiled and said, "It's nothing, just traditional Chinese characters. We don't use them anymore."
