Chapter 17 The Amazing Act
Chapter 17: Amazing Action (This chapter is free
During dinner, Zhang Xia proposed to buy grass seeds. Zhang Da stared at her big eyes and said, "What are you doing for buying grass seeds? I have heard of buying grain seeds and vegetable seeds, but I haven't heard of anyone buying grass seeds!" Zhang Qiang explained, "Dad, I want to buy some grass with orchards, which is conducive to the growth of fruit trees!" Zhang Qiang's words stunned Zhang Da: "Qianzi, you were kicked by a donkey in the head, right? People are afraid of growing grass in the orchard, so it's too late to remove the grass. You are fresh and take the initiative to plant grass in the orchard. You are not sick!"
Zhang Qiang was anxious and said, "Dad, it makes sense for me to do this. Just say whether you can help me?" Zhang Xia saw that Zhang Qiang was anxious. Speaking to Zhang Da like this, isn't it obvious that things will be bad? Seeing Zhang Da's eyes bulging again, Zhang Xia hurriedly said, "Dad, have you seen it too? Qiangzi's vision is the best of others, and the orchard is a proof! Who could have thought that the original wasteland was so big that it was reclaimed? Didn't it give you a face?" Zhang Dayi thought that it was indeed so good, and his heart was relieved. He lowered his head and picked up his job, muttering: "If he really made a fuss for me, he should find a job in the city..."
"Dad, since Qiangzi chose to return to the countryside, we should support him! Let him make good use of all the knowledge he learned in school, right? I think Qiangzi must have his reason for buying grass seeds, and we should all support him! Dad, what do you think?" Zhang Xia said gently. Cuilian also looked at her son and quietly stepped on Zhang Da's feet. Zhang Dameng put his job on the job and glared at him. Zhang Xia and Zhang Qiang thought to himself, but Zhang Da said, "I'll give it to you, what if you want to step off my feet!" Zhang Da's speech made Cui Lian stunned, and everyone laughed.
Early the next morning, Zhang Qiang entered the city. Xiumei was going to come with her, but this time Zhang Qiang said nothing. The incident in the Internet cafe last time still made me feel scared. If something really happened to Xiumei, he really didn't know how to explain to Erhu.
Every time he enters the city, Zhang Qiang can always discover some new changes. The speed of urban development has far exceeded that of rural areas, and the gap between urban and rural areas is further widening. Whenever he thinks of this fact, Zhang Qiang feels very uncomfortable, and at the same time he feels that the pressure on his shoulders is getting greater!
"How could it be that grass seeds are so expensive?" Zhang Qiang's eyes glared at the salesperson at the grain planting station. The price of grain seeds is not on the same level as grain plantings, and it is more expensive. The salesperson said with a contemptuous look: "Homesick, don't know! In today's urban construction, lawns are a must-have project! Grain seeds are so in short supply! Unfortunately, most farmers cannot accept this fact. They are reluctant to plant grass seeds even if they grow grains, so the price of grass seeds is so expensive now! Alas, what a good opportunity to get rich, I tell you, if I had land, I wouldn't have done this long ago and went home to plant grass!"
The salesperson was right, and it was very touched by Zhang Qiang. Grass is more valuable than food! But not every farmer can change his concept so quickly. Farmers should grow grain like soldiers should go to the battlefield, as if they cannot be called farmers without growing grain. When can such concepts be changed, and when can farmers truly pay attention to the cruelty of the market? Zhang Qiang feels that the road ahead is still very long.
With his worries in mind, Zhang Qiang didn't stay in the city for too long. He bought the grass seeds and went home. As soon as he got home, Zhang Qiang found Zhang Da and asked what he was going to plant this year. Zhang Datou said without looking back: "Of course farmers are growing grain! Didn't you see everyone growing?" Zhang Qiang said: "Yes, because everyone is growing, the food harvest is getting better and lower every year! Dad, don't you want to plant anything else?"
"Source something else? Then tell me, what's the best way to plant?" Zhang Da paid a lot of attention to his son's ideas. If he had something to do or not, he wanted to listen to his opinions. Zhang Qiang smiled and said, "For example, planting grass?" "Planting grass!" Zhang Da's bull's eyes glared again. He found that Zhang Qiang's head was filled with strange ideas now. Sometimes he really doubted that the teachers in the university taught him something!
Zhang Qiang hurriedly said, "Dad, don't worry! The food is becoming less and less valuable now. If you want to get rich, you must plant something that others have never planted! Scarcity is precious, which is the most basic market rule, and you have never thought about it?" Zhang Da became more and more annoyed: "Don't tell me these things, I don't understand and I like to listen! I only know that letting the grass grow in good land be struck by thunder!" After that, he raised his legs and left.
Zhang Qiang had long anticipated this result. It seems impossible to change Zhang Da’s concept in a short period of time, but Zhang Qiang already had a lot of worries. If you want farmers to change their concepts and keep up with the pace of the market, it is useless to say it. The key is to take the lead. As long as you achieve benefits, farmers like Zhang Da will naturally change. Zhang Qiang’s weapon is the grass seeds that you just bought from the city today. He must plant them well. When the grass seeds mature, exchange them for money and see what he says.
It took Xiumei, Zhang Xia and the three of them a morning to plant the grass. Zhang Qiang was still worried. He went deep into the ground and saw that the grass was not threatened by the fruit seedlings. The fruit seedlings obviously did not regard the grass as an enemy. The two coexisted safely for the time being, but this was just the beginning. When the grass seeds germinated and started to grow, the fruit tree would know that it was powerful!
Zhang Qiang serves these fruit trees and grass every day, and lives a fulfilling life. He temporarily puts emotional matters aside, but how is Xiaohan's life?
