Yes,

is a vegetable,

It is an out-of-season vegetable.

Xu Zhao knew that whether it was "vegetable greenhouses" or "greenhouse vegetables", it was extremely rare in this village in this age of the world, so he explained to Dad Zhuang that in fact, greenhouse vegetables had already appeared in the imperial capital, and they were selling well in the future. Living standards are getting better and better, and off-season vegetables will become more and more popular.

What Xu Zhao said was well-founded and coherent. The gauze did not block Dad Zhuang's face of admiration. Dad Zhuang asked, "Xu Zhao, how do you know this?"

Xu Zhao asked back, "Brother Li, you don't know which school I went to in secondary school?"

"I really don't know, which school did you come from? I heard that it is very powerful."

"Provincial Agricultural School." Xu Zhao replied.

"It's the provincial agricultural school! Agriculture is good. Our country is a big agricultural country." This "big agricultural country" was also heard by Dad Dazhuang listening to the radio.

Xu Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, I learned about agriculture in school."

Knowledge is knowledge, and practice is practice. Dad Dazhuang was still a little worried and asked, "But you have never grown vegetables, can you do it?"

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Dad Dazhuang thought about it for a while, but still had some doubts in his heart, and said, "That's right, but, you have to try with an acre of land, in case you fail—"

"Brother Li, are you afraid of failure?" Xu Zhao looked at Dazhuang's father and asked.

Dazhuang's father immediately said proudly: "Afraid? Your brother Li has never known what it is to be afraid?!"

Xu Zhao smiled and said, "That's fine, then try it with me. In fact, Brother Li, you don't have to be afraid. If you succeed, you will be paid. If you fail, you will not be paid less."

Hearing Xu Zhao say this, Dad Dazhuang felt a little embarrassed. He felt that he was too cowardly. He couldn't be so cowardly as a man. If he wanted to do it, if he wanted to, he might succeed. He turned around and said, "What are you talking about! Isn't it just one mu of land? If it's abolished, it will be abolished. Don't worry, with Brother Li here, I won't be starving you and Sanwazi."

Xu Zhao said sincerely, "Thank you, Brother Li."

"You're welcome, when will we start?"

"Don't rush."

"No hurry?" Dad Dazhuang asked in surprise.

"Yes, no rush. I have to prepare for the greenhouse. There are more urgent matters now."

"What's the matter?" Dad Zhuang asked.

"Build a house." Xu Zhao replied.

"What house to build? Where to build it?"

"Build a tile house next to your house."

"Are you going to build a tile house?"

"right!"

Then Xu Zhao told Dad Dazhuang about his ideas and budget, and said that he wanted to build three tile-roofed houses, a kitchen and a yard. The budget was 1,200 yuan, and he said that he could ask someone to start filling the wasteland tomorrow. Ping, began to lay the foundation, and after negotiating with Dad Zhuang, Xu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and Dad Dazhuang was no longer worried. After Xu Zhao left, Dad Zhuang happily said to Dad Zhuang: "I will follow Xu Zhao in the future, and I will not go out. already."

Da Zhuang's mother asked, "What are you doing with Xu Zhao?"

Dad Dazhuang said, "Grow vegetables and sell them in winter."

Dazhuang's mother just listened to a little bit of the conversation between Xu Zhao and Dazhuang's father, but it was not comprehensive, so she couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible?"

"Why not." Dad Dazhuang said firmly: "Xu Zhao is a cultural person, and he has studied agriculture. It is definitely possible."

Da Zhuang's mother smiled and pretended to be disgusted and said, "Yo, you can say it now, didn't you just suspect that Xu Zhao can't do it?"

"Am I suspicious? I was discussing, what do you know?"

"I don't understand, you understand, you understand very well, does Xu Zhao understand?"

The husband and wife scolded each other one by one.

At this time, Xu Zhao had already returned home with Xu Fan, and confessed to Xu's father and mother about growing greenhouse vegetables. The first reaction of Xu's father and Xu's mother was naturally rejection, but the two elders knew that Xu Zhao was not a messed up person. These days, they can see Xu Zhao's ability clearly, and the second elder has not given any help, so Xu Zhao asked for an acre of land to grow greenhouse vegetables at this time, and the second elder just thought a little and agreed.

Xu Zhao asked in amazement, "Dad, Mom, are you really willing?" You must know that in this era, people take the land very seriously. There used to be two brothers in the village who were beaten to death and bloodied. Thinking that Xu's father and Xu's mother were unwilling to vacate an acre of land.

Unexpectedly, Mother Xu said, "Of course I would."

Xu Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid I'll smash my seed?"

Mother Xu said, "Just smash it. Mom made you wrong in the past. In the future, whatever you want to do, Mom will support you."

Xu Zhao felt at ease in an instant. It is a wonderful thing to have the support of his family. At this moment, Xu Fan also said, "I also support your father."

Xu Zhao lowered his head and asked, "Do you know what support means?"

"I do not know."

"I don't know and talk nonsense."

Xu Fan hugged Xu Zhao's leg and giggled.

Xu Zhao looked at Xu's mother again and said, "Mom, then when you plant wheat, you should vacate one acre of land, and let's vacate the acre of land not far from Da Zhuang's house."

Mother Xu simply agreed: "Okay."

"Then go to bed early."

"Go to sleep too."

But Xu Zhao didn't go to bed early. After returning to the hut, he lit the kerosene lamp, put Xu Fan on the bed, let Xu Fan play with the glass ball of the toy car by himself, told Xu Fan that he was busy and could not be disturbed, and then he sat on the kerosene Dengqian wrote and painted. At this time, he suddenly felt that he worked everywhere in order to earn living expenses in his previous life, so in addition to studying, he learned many life skills, which he actually used in this era.

For example, drawing, such as accounting, such as understanding crops, etc., but now he does not organize the vegetable greenhouse, but plans to build the tile house. After the area is estimated, Xu Zhao starts to draw the house plan and mark it. The precautions, and then slowly improved. When everything was almost drawn, he put down the pen and turned to look at the bed, where Xu Fan was already asleep with the toy car.

So nice.

Xu Zhao stepped forward, put the toy car, glass ball, and slingshot on the bed on the table, wiped Xu Fan's hands and face, and then went to bed and put his arms around Xu Fan.

The next morning, Xu Zhao woke up in a commotion, put on his clothes and went out to check, only to find a tractor parked at the intersection. There were five or six men sitting on the tractor, surrounded by a dozen people, reluctant to say goodbye. look.

Xu Zhao asked Mother Xu in confusion: "Mom, what is this for?"

Xu's mother replied: "I heard that I can earn nearly 200 yuan in half a year. Xu Zuocheng also went to work."

"Xu Zuocheng?"

"Yes, I'm stunned. I just passed in front of your father and I, and deliberately said that the salary is twenty or thirty yuan a month, and it looks like I don't like your father and me."

"Let him whimper."

"That's right, let's go. One was detained at the police station for three months, and the other went to work in other places, which just made us quiet."

Xu Zhao couldn't help but went into the tractor to look at it, and happened to see Xu Zuocheng. Xu Zuocheng only knew that Xu Zhao made money selling moon cakes, but he didn't know how much money he made. Thinking that Xu Zhao would make five yuan a month selling popsicles, then selling moon cakes would also make money. Twenty-thirty, what is twenty-thirty? When he entered the city this time, he was only 20 to 30 yuan a month. When he came back, let's not talk about a hundred yuan in his pocket, a hundred yuan. Money, Xu Zuocheng felt excited when he thought about it, and looked at Xu Zhao with contempt in his eyes.

Xu Zhao ignored him and watched the tractor leave Nanwan Village. He took Xu Fan to Da Zhuang's house. In addition to Da Zhuang's father, there were other workers who built houses. Xu Zhao took the drawings and discussed with them the size of the house and the use of tiles. , with bricks and other issues.

After discussing for a morning, as soon as it was over, everyone except Dad Dazhuang started to fill the pit with shovels and ox carts to lay the foundation.

In the afternoon, the bricks and tiles from the kiln were sent by one ox cart and one ox cart. At the same time, the fine sand sieves, sand trowels, brick knives, tile knives, saws and other tools from the big dealers were all taken out. It attracted the attention of the villagers, and many people discussed:

"What's this for? Who built a house?"

"Xu Zhao's house is built, his thatched hut leaks even when it rains, and no one can live there."

"Xu Zhao is rich."

"I don't have any money. I made money selling moon cakes last time, but I heard from Dad Zhuang that it seems to be on credit. It's mainly because his two brothers who lived in tile-roofed houses were grinding him. good."

"It's good to move out. I also heard that Xu Zhao built the house on credit. It must be on credit. This house is not a small amount."

"…"

In fact, Xu Zhao didn't have credit, but Dazhuang's father didn't want people to know that Xu Zhao was so rich all of a sudden and was envied by others, so he said it deliberately, Xu Zhao accepted it happily, and then handed over the building of the house to Dazhuang's father, Xu’s father, Xu’s mother, Xu Zhao began to think about growing vegetables, but before growing vegetables, he had to call Cui Qingfeng and tell Cui Qingfeng that he would not go to Fan Xiaodian for the time being for the past two days, and the store would be Let him watch.

But before he could call, Uncle Zhang came over and told Xu Zhao that someone in the county called him. Xu Zhao thought it was Cui Qingfeng, and hurried to pick him up. Who knew it was Cui Dingchen.

Xu Zhao shouted in surprise, "Uncle?"

Cui Dingchen's low voice sounded from the other side: "Well, it's me."

"What's the matter?" Xu Zhao asked.

"That." Cui Dingchen hesitated and said, "Did you return my plaid handkerchief to me?"

Only then did Xu Zhao remember to say, "Ah, sorry uncle, I forgot."

"Well, when will you come and pay me back?"

Xu Zhao secretly calculated the matter at hand and said, "Tomorrow."

"Are you busy?" Cui Dingchen asked.

"A little bit." Xu Zhao said embarrassingly.

"What are you busy with?"

"There is a house to be built in the family, and there are some other things."

"Oh." Cui Dingchen paused and asked, "When will you come tomorrow?"

"Morning."

"Okay, then it's morning."

"Well, I'm sorry, uncle."

"It's okay, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhao was stunned for a moment. Cui Dingchen called and asked for a plaid handkerchief? This, this, this is like Xu Fan. Usually, Dazhuang borrows a glass bead from Xu Fan to play with, and within a long time, Xu Fan will definitely run to get the glass bead back from the banker, lest Dazhuang give his glass bead to greed. Well, this... But on second thought, in this day and age, materials are scarce, and everything is precious, not to mention a plaid handkerchief of good quality, so Xu Zhao put away the handkerchief when he got home.

The next morning, the weather suddenly turned cold, and summer clothes could no longer be worn. After Xu Zhao put on Xu Fan's long coat and trousers, he also changed into new clothes, new pants and new shoes, washed his face and head. Packed up clean.

When he turned his head, he saw Xu Fan standing in front of the earthen wall. There was a mirror in the earthen wall. In the mirror, Xu Fan covered his fleshy face with his hands and said, "Oh, I'm so pretty."

Xu Zhao: "…"

Xu Fan: "Oh, my new clothes look good."

Xu Zhao: "…"

After looking in the mirror, he went to Xu's father and Xu's mother to say that he was wearing new clothes. He said that his father bought it. He didn't wait for Xu's father and Xu's mother to praise him. .

Xu Zhao pushed the brand new bicycle and shouted, "Xu Fan."

Xu Fan responded in the hut, "Hey!"

"I'm going to the county seat."

"I'm going, I'm going too."

Xu Fan quickly ran out of the hut, ran to Xu Zhao's side familiarly, turned his back to Xu Zhao, then drove up his small arms, let Xu Zhao hug the front bar of the bicycle, and said, "Dad, you look good. "

Xu Zhao said, "I know."

"I'm pretty too."

"Ok."

Xu Fan was quiet, and after a while, he shouted again, "Dad."

"Huh?" Xu Zhaoying.

Xu Fan asked, "Are we going to sell popsicles?"

Xu Zhao said, "No, it's getting cold, so I can't eat popsicles anymore."

"Can't eat popsicles."

"Yes, we don't sell popsicles anymore, we sell vegetables."

"We don't sell popsicles anymore, we sell vegetables!" Xu Fan imitated Xu Zhao.

"right!"

Along the way, Xu Fan didn't learn much from Xu Zhao's words, and he arrived at the county town shortly after, because he arrived early, so the small shop hadn't opened yet. Xu Zhao rode Xu Fan straight to Cui's house. As soon as he arrived at Cui's house, he saw a man who was sorting clothes in the yard. Cui Dingchen.

Cui Dingchen was slightly startled when he saw Xu Zhao.
