The tea leaves in spring are busy. People after winter storage seem to be like groundhogs who have spent the winter. They have replaced the monotonous black and gray colors and put on more beautiful clothes.
There is no shortage of jobs in the frontiers, especially in the northern frontiers. Whether the economy is good or not, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can still live.
After all, people generally eat and dress.
As for the border area, based on the current population and land area, there is no need to worry about work.
People who are contracted to clear snow during the winter are now beginning to enter the major farms.
Those who build the canals repair the canals, and those who weed the weeds. Countless grains and cotton are grown on the endless flat and fertile land.
Perhaps because the environment is so good, the quality of the cotton grown here in Chasu is quite average, so they use the name of border cotton to fool outsiders.
The rain is too abundant, causing the flowers of tea cotton to be as short as rabbit tails. What is tea cotton's most famous crop?
Just two, one is rice and the other is lavender. Unfortunately, Chinese people don't really like the smell of lavender. They say it smells like cows burping after eating too much grass.
But Europeans particularly like this thing.
The wind blowing from nowhere in the past few years has meant that thousands of acres of everything have to be planted, otherwise it seems that we would be embarrassed to mention it.
However, this large-scale unified planting has long been established in the border areas, with 10,000 acres of rapeseed flowers, 10,000 acres of tomatoes, and 10,000 acres of red peppers.
On the farm where Shao Hua grew up, everyone followed the trend and watched Shao Hua grow lavender.
This time we also created a 10,000-acre lavender field. It’s not because Shao Hua went to university that everyone would follow blindly.
But because Mrs. Shaohua, in the farm compound, to be honest, there were not many houses in the city in the past few years.
In the Shaohua family, Shaohua's wife wanted to buy a house in the city no matter what.
At that time, everyone was still laughing at the old lady. As a result, people bought a house not to live a city life, but to go to school in Shaohua.
Look now, Shao Hua joined a bank right after graduating from university. He was originally envied by a bunch of people.
Of course, there are also people who get rich without going to school, but the hardship and luck involved are not something that ordinary people can have.
When the people on the farm were shocked, not long after, Shao Hua got married. Only those who attended the wedding knew that Shao Hua's husband was even more powerful.
Therefore, now no one will say whether Shao Hua works hard or not. Everyone will say one thing: Shao Hua's mother has a vision.
This made the old lady very proud for a long time.
Shao Hua has been very busy recently. The girl not only planted lavender, but also designed a granary windmill.
Zhang Fan looked at Shao Hua's design and didn't see anything poetic about flower fields, but the soft flesh on his waist was pinched in his hands. Even if it doesn't look good, it looks good.
After finally resting, Zhang Fan was dragged to the street by Shao Hua to get a haircut, and he spent a long time shopping with Shao Hua.
They said they were shopping with Shao Hua, but in fact it was Shao Hua who took Zhang Fan to buy spring clothes for Zhang Fan.
Shao Hua is now a little obsessed with sorting out Zhang Fan's clothes.
The girl would rather have others say that Zhang Fan looks black than let others say that Zhang Fan is sloppily dressed.
In the past, Zhang Fan usually wore a T-shirt in winter, summer, spring and autumn, and in winter at most he would wear a down jacket.
But after getting married, this habit was taken away by Shao Hua.
"Here, try it on. What do you think of this shirt? Is it a bit too flashy?"
Shao Hua showed Zhang Fan a pale pink shirt. It looked really beautiful when worn on a white model. The light illuminated it like this.
But when Zhang Fan wore it, he behaved obediently, which directly made Zhang Fan look like he hadn't washed his face.
"Haha, take it off quickly!" Shao Hua covered his mouth and snickered, "Let's just wear white and blue. It will save money."
"Haha!" Zhang Fan smiled nonchalantly. He was too busy these days and didn't go shopping with the girl. Zhang Fan felt quite guilty, so he was very obedient today.
"You want to buy a few too!" Zhang Fan took Shao Hua's hand.
"Men's clothes should be about quality, while women's clothes should be about fashion. It's already spring, so you should buy summer clothes now. If you buy spring clothes, it will be out of date."
Shao Hua winked mischievously and taught Zhang Fan a lesson seriously.
"Let's buy some summer clothes."
"The summer ones haven't been released yet, haha!" Shao Hua smiled very happily like a child. She was happy when Zhang Fan accompanied her.
Zhang Fan saw Shao Hua smiling happily, and he couldn't help but smile too.
But where is the humor in this thing? But when he looked at Shao Hua's smile, he also wanted to smile. Maybe this was the so-called happiness.
Shao Hua is not particularly particular about dressing up. Since leaving the bank, the girl rarely puts on makeup. At most, she sprays some water on her face like spraying water on flowers.
Fortunately, she is naturally beautiful and has a unique temperament of a northern girl. This is what particularly attracts Zhang Fan.
Originally, they wanted to eat something on the street without having to cook, but Shao Hua's mother called and said that they were in the city and asked Zhang Fan and Shao Hua to go home early for dinner.
"Are you tired of the farm? If you are too tired, hire someone. You see, the four old people have not been to the city for a long time."
Zhang Fan and Shao Hua chatted first on the way home.
“It’s all mechanized, so there’s nothing to worry about. Originally, there’s nothing to do now.
But are the elderly people in our family who can be idle? They now raise a group of geese, a large group of native chickens, and some sheep.
I was originally planning to raise some rabbits, but I stopped me. Husband, I want to create a poetic and picturesque sea of lavender flowers.
When the wind blows, it looks like a sea of flowers, one after another. It’s so beautiful just thinking about it.
But my parents turned it into a breeding ground for me, my god! "
"Haha!" Regarding this aspect, Zhang Fan simply didn't express an opinion because he didn't understand, so he didn't talk nonsense.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw that the old man and the old lady had already prepared the meal and were packing to go out.
"What, parents, don't you want to eat?"
Zhang Fan asked in confusion.
"No, we have eaten, and we have to go back to the farm, otherwise your parents won't be able to take care of the chickens, ducks and sheep.
Okay, don’t give them away, eat them quickly. These are fresh wild vegetables and sophora flower steamed buns. Try them. They taste delicious. I’ll send you some tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. "
After saying that, the old man and the old lady left in a hurry. Zhang Fan wanted to see her off, but the two old people refused to let her go.
Wild vegetables are delicious or not. To be honest, if they are cooked and eaten once in a while, they are okay. But if they are not cooked well, they will be unpalatable if eaten occasionally.
However, Shao Hua’s mother is still quite good at cooking wild vegetables.
There is abundant rainfall in tea, so the wild vegetables are not only plentiful, but also very fresh.
Cold dandelion, stir-fried wormwood, garlic mixed with purslane, drizzled with a little peppercorn oil, poured with hot oil, it is quite delicious.
Especially Sophora japonica, the old lady makes it particularly delicious, mixing cornmeal and flour, then mixing in a little wheat flour and letting it rise.
Then, wash the Sophora japonica flowers and add a little honey. If it is Sophora japonica nectar, it would be even better.
Knead the honey-added sophora flowers into the corn dough. Most importantly, be sure to add a little oil.
Then mix them into small steamed buns and steam them in a large pot. To be honest, this locust flower steamed bun is particularly delicious freshly out of the pan.
After taking a sip, there was obviously no liquid flowing out, but this one gave me the feeling of soup.
The steamed buns that have been added with a lot of oil are extra soft and have a mixed aroma of oil and sophora flowers. They have a rustling and slightly sweet aroma in the mouth. Zhang Fan can eat several of them in one meal.
The two of them were eating and chatting.
"Let my father-in-law and dad learn to drive." Zhang Fan said to Shao Hua while eating wild vegetables.
Shao Hua doesn't like eating Sophora japonica steamed buns very much. She finds them too boring. She was holding millet porridge and eating delicious wild vegetables.
"What?" Shao Hua looked up at Zhang Fan.
“If the elderly are willing to stay on the farm, that’s fine. A certain amount of physical labor is also good for their health.
However, after all, it is a bit far away from the city. Have you noticed that several elderly people are not willing to let us pick them up?
They were afraid of bothering us. If there are no conditions, forget it. If there are conditions, just buy a car for each of the two old men.
Having a car makes it easier for them to do whatever they want. "
"Why don't you buy one, and who among them can drive it?" Shao Hua said to Zhang Fan while biting his chopsticks.
"Silly girl, you don't know anything. If you want one, don't buy it. If you want one, just buy two."
"Okay, you dare say I'm a stupid girl." As he spoke, Shao Hua rushed over and insisted on pinching Zhang Fan's ears.
Full and warm, there is nothing wrong with what I say.
In terms of marital life, human men are probably the weakest male animals.
For example, a flock of chickens, dozens of hens, only needs one rooster, and a pride of lions, one male lion can also appease the female lions.
If we change people, just look at the emperors in ancient times. How many emperors have there been in China throughout the ages? How many have lived past 60!
So, despite some people boasting about their success, in fact their waists are sore.
For example, Zhang Fan trains every day and strengthens his system systematically, but he is just like this. He just defeated Shao Hua.
Therefore, men who generally brag are just like the saying goes, if you are lacking, you will brag!
"If you want to buy a car, you want to buy two more? Why buy it? You and Shao Hua both have cars, so don't buy one.
If you have money, just spend it yourself! "
The next day, Shao Hua took all four old people back to the city from the farm.
Zhang Fan's father and father-in-law narrowed their eyes with joy when they heard that they were going to buy a car for them.
Although Zhang Fan was a little unhappy, the old lady didn't say anything. She understood one thing. She couldn't worry about whether the money would be spent or not.
Shao Hua's mother was directly opposed.
As soon as they said this, the two old men looked at each other and wanted to buy it. It seemed that they were ignorant, so they didn't buy it. In fact, they were not very old, and the man didn't like cars.
Shao Hua wanted to speak, but Zhang Fan patted his arm. Shao Hua knew what Zhang Fan meant, and swallowed his words alive.
"Haha, listen to me, I didn't buy this car for free. In the future, you will be driving your car to pick up and drop off your grandchildren."
"You are really good at calculating! The money you spend on me is not in vain!" Zhang Fan's father said to Zhang Fan smoothly.
Mrs. Zhang Fan immediately patted the old man and then glanced at him, meaning: If you don't speak, people won't think you are dumb.
"Nowhere..."
Shao Hua's mother still wanted to say something, but Zhang Fan said directly: "Oh, my mother, don't hesitate, the deposit has been paid.
If you don’t buy the car, the deposit will not be refunded! "
Zhang Fan cut through the mess quickly and settled the matter directly.
Then, while the Siaisi store was still closed, Zhang Fan took the old man to choose a car.
Shao Hua handles some things much better than Zhang Fan, but some things still have to be handled by Zhang Fan. For example, let Shao Hua do the car buying.
It is estimated that the two mothers can quarrel.
Zhang Fan and his father-in-law fell in love with the Jetta at first sight, "This is it!"
"Yes, that's it. A car is better." Shao Hua's father nodded. "When I was young, I saw our leader riding in this car, and I was envious!"
"It's better to buy an SUV. After all, the road on the farm is not good." Zhang Fan persuaded.
"Which one of yours is it like?" Zhang Fan asked.
"Yes! Almost."
"Forget it. That thing of yours is just a tool cart. Is it better to have a car or a sedan? Is it the father-in-law's?"
"Yes. The car still looks impressive!"
Zhang Fan actually waited for the two old men to see the car before he paid the deposit, and then took the old men to sign up for a driving school.
It is the duty of children to let the elderly take care of themselves.
After Ouyang ended the recruitment of nurses, Zhang Fan started living between the two cities.
Because he had just opened cardiothoracic surgery, and there were not many surgeries in this area at Chasu Hospital, Zhang Fan went back and forth to the bird market almost every three days.
As a result, Zhang Fan was about to leave the city for the weekend, and Ouyang called.
"Turn around and come back quickly. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital invites us for surgical consultation. Come back quickly!"
