The cold winter has passed the spring,

The single flower of La Mei is more attractive;

Wake up all the flowers to bloom,

Sis laughed in the bush.

Today is February 15th. On this day, the Village Branch, the Village Head Deng Chunming, and the various managers talked with the ginseng field and Zhou Lianhai about the situation of the production in the ginseng field in 1990.

At present, the village has 700 curtain, this year development no more than 100 curtain. This way, the number of people in the ginseng field would not be as large, and would have to be reduced. After some serious discussion and research, left behind four workers, one worker, one technician, for a total of six people. The salary of the field length is 2000 Yuan per year, the salary of the technicians is 2000 Yuan, and the wages of the four workers and the Gengfu are between 5 and 9,000 Yuan.

Judging from the material preparation, it was 500% less than the usual annual growth rate. In order to learn more about the field, the seeds sown last year could be used to buckle small plastic sheds. You need to prepare 15 thousand sticks, at the rate of 4 cents per stick, you need 600 yuan. In addition, the seeds sown in the year 88, if the rate is not good, can be demolished and used on the ginseng planted last year.

Regarding the arrangements for the staff: Zhou Lianhai will be the field length, Zhou Li will be the technician. The village was responsible for pesticides, plastic sheeting and materials for shelter. As for the Gengfu, there was one person at leisure, with a salary of 150 yuan per month. There were two people at leisure, with a salary of 90 yuan per month.

When everything was settled, Zi Peng asked the Week Field Length:

"Are there any missing questions that I need to study?" Is there anything else you don't understand? Do you have any other requests? " Week Field Length said:

"Not at the moment."

Thus, the task regarding the ginseng field in 1990 was decided. Zi Peng and the other two came down from ginseng field, and walked towards Tao Yuan …

On February 17th, three people from Branch Secretary Wang Peng, Village Head Deng Chunming and Vice Village Chief Wang went to the City to look for red ginseng for sale. They first went to the city's real estate company, where the purchase price was too low. Before, the price had been between 250 yuan and 300 yuan per kilogram, but now it was only 16 yuan per kilogram. Straight and curved whiskers were even less likely to be raised. They then went to Department 16, in Dongchang District, where they also received red ginseng and white ginseng, but at a price similar to that of the local company.

After finishing their lunch, they went to the Ginseng Buying Department of the Agricultural Market. The price was still astonishingly low. In the end, they went to the county's local company, Ginseng Buying Office. After inquiring, they found out that the prices were almost all the same. When the three of them heard this, their anger rose. They painstakingly developed ginseng, spent processing fees and processed red ginseng. In the end, not only were they unable to sell the ginseng, they would even have to pay in. They couldn't understand why water cucumber could be sold for 20 yuan to 30 yuan per catty in the past, or 40 yuan to 50 yuan per catty for the good ones, but not even 2 yuan per catty now. Why was ginseng seeds before 60 yuan a catty hard to buy, and now 1 catty ginseng seeds could not even exchange for 1 catty of rice? Why before a kilogram of red ginseng can be sold for 150 yuan, but now each kilogram is only 8 yuan? Now that the price of ginseng had been reduced to such a state, could it still be developed any further? Wasn't the more you grew, the more you would lose money?

Sigh, in the end, it's all that disappointing Radix Ginseng's fault. If not for Radix Ginseng, the price of Ginseng would always be as stable as Mt. Tai. But now, not only did they lose the entire group, they even harmed a single person. Look at those individuals growing ginseng, some have loans of millions of yuan. At that time, the government supported it and it was extremely popular for a while, but what about now? How many big ginseng owners committed suicide because they couldn't pay off the loan...

The question of the price of ginseng had become a sore point for all three of them …

Since receiving Zi Peng's letter on February 10th, Lixia had never written back to him. Because, in her last letter, she had expressed to him that she would write back once every three months, and he had agreed with her. However, it was this longing that caused her to suffer unspeakably. He thought about it like a madman. His face was full of worry all day long, and he was at a loss of what to do. It's hard to sleep at night. The feeling of missing people, why was it so painful!?

On the night of February 16, when she could not sleep, she picked up her pen again and wrote to her husband while he was asleep. It was almost midnight when she finished the letter. She looked at the clock. At this time, her husband turned around sleepily, slightly opened his eyes, and saw that she was writing a letter. Therefore, he asked:

"Lixia, what's the time? Why aren't you sleeping? To whom? "

"You go to sleep first. I'll write a letter to my father."

Lisa answered hurriedly. Guihong took it for real, and soon fell asleep again.

She folded the letter and put it in her pocket. After she packed the paper and pen, she got on the brick bed and lay down.

On the morning of February 18, Zi Peng started off from home with his bicycle. He was going to work in the village. When he got to the front street, he found Lixia waiting for him there. When they met each other, both of them were very happy with a smile on their faces. She said:

"Brother, I have something to do in City today. If you have time, you can wait for me at the usual spot in New Station at 9: 30."

Zi Peng's face turned red when he saw that Lixia had arrived so early. He held her hand and said with a pained expression, "I …"

"Sister, it's been hard on you. You came so early, I'm really sorry." "Don't worry, I promise I'll be there on time."

After Zipeng finished speaking, Lixia took out a letter and stuffed it into his hand. Then he sat in the back of the bike and put his arm around his waist. He took her to Taoyuan on his bicycle to the eighth line of the bus station.

Zi Peng came to the village. Today, he was going to Rural Party Committee to report about Yang Yuefa's deeds and written materials. He left the village at 7: 30 and arrived at Rural Party Committee 20 minutes on his bicycle. He found the Committee members who were promoting to him and reported briefly on his studies of Yang Yuefa. Then, he handed a thick piece of paper to the Committee members and completed his work this morning.

Zi Peng looked at his watch. It was only 8: 40, so it was still not too late to take a taxi to City. Thus, he placed the bicycle in the courtyard of the Rural Government, sat on the third string bus and went to the City.

Zi Peng walked back to his usual place. When he got there, he saw that indeed, Lixia was waiting for him there. He took three happy steps and two, and came to her. After greeting each other, they walked shoulder to shoulder as they walked up the embankment.

The embankment was broad and flat, with a driveway and a sidewalk. Although it was not the time for spring to bloom, the snow on the riverbank had already melted to a minimum. Some parts of it were still exposed to the wind. The wind was blowing strongly this season. After the gusts of wind, there was dust everywhere; there were all kinds of bags dancing around. People's hair was blown all over the place; their clothes were flapping; the wires were flapping in the wind, and they were screaming like ghosts and wolves …

Zi Peng and Lixia slowly walked on the sidewalk, and she held his arm. As he combed his hair that was messed up by the wind, he spoke to Zi Peng emotionally:

"Bro, did it affect your work again today?"

Zi Peng was also very happy when he saw the elated expression on her face. Thus, he comforted her and said:

"Sister, today's work has been completed. We can take a stroll on the river bank with ease; watch a movie without worry; speak our mind without worry; and spend the day in City without worry."

Listening to Zi Peng's words, she felt even more happy. She looked at him with her bright, beautiful eyes and murmured,

"Brother, these days, I've missed you so much. I miss you so much, like you're a fool. I couldn't help it. I got up in the middle of the night the other night to write to you. Brother, have you read the letter I wrote? "

Zi Peng patted Lixia's shoulder, and without blinking, his eyes met her gentle and affectionate gaze as he replied to her question:

"Sister, I haven't even had the chance to look. I'll look at it when I get home, and seeing it here will affect our mood. "

Lixia and Zi Peng looked at each other and smiled as if they understood each other, then said as if giving an order:

"This brother has thought it through. Bro, I'll treat you to lunch today, don't reject me."

When Zi Peng heard that Lixia was going to treat him to lunch today, he felt a little embarrassed and insisted,

"Sister, let me treat you. I appreciate the chance you gave me to meet you this time, so how can I let you spend so much?"

Lixia punched Zi Peng on the shoulder and insisted,

"Brother, stop fighting. I only asked you out because I want to stay with you for a while longer." Actually, I came here today because I didn't have anything to do. I just wanted to meet up with you, say the truth, and look at you a few more times. When you came today, I felt much more relaxed. Don't you think I should treat you to dinner? "

When Zi Peng heard that Lixia thought about him like he was a fool, he was deeply moved. In fact, Zi Peng thought, wasn't Lixia the same as well? Thus, he also told her his heartfelt words:

"Sister." Do you know how I've been thinking about you these days? I haven't seen you since I went to your house on the fifteenth day of the first month. I think you think, don't want to eat during the day, can't sleep at night, the taste is too unbearable. There's nothing I can do about it. I'll just look at your picture and see the letter you wrote me. After a few rounds, the sky will brighten. "

At this moment, Lixia was reminded of the night before she wrote to Zipeng and was discovered by Guihong. Thus, she told Zi Peng the entire story:

"Brother, the night before last, when I was writing to you, my husband woke up and found me writing a letter. So he asked me, 'Lixia, what time is it? Why aren't you sleeping? Who are you writing to? ' I panicked and wrote a letter to my father, and he believed me. After a while, he fell asleep again. Brother, tell me, how close is it? If he gets up and sees that he is writing to you, it will be terrible. "

Zi Peng was especially surprised when he heard what Lixia had to say. He held her hand and comforted her:

"Sister, you must take note in the future. When he is at home, you must not write to him, lest any problems arise."
