Chapter 118 Jiang Qinghua confesses to Xiaoju
Focusing on a career that she likes inspired Xiaoju's infinite fighting spirit and unlimited potential.As winter turns to spring, with the encouragement and help of friends, "Juxiang Ecological Co., Ltd." has gradually got back on track.
Under the guidance of professional and technical personnel, Xiaoju led the workers to plant various fruit trees such as apples, peaches, and apricots in the gentle areas of the mountain forest, and raised a number of black piglets on a fenced area above the mountain forest. There are some free-range chickens under the trees and chestnut trees.The stupid eggs produced by these native chickens have now begun to be sold on the market, and the sales are not bad.
It was March in spring, and peach blossoms were blooming all over the mountains and plains. Xiaoju stood in the peach blossom garden she built with her own hands, looking happily at the large bright peach forest in front of her, as if she had already seen the abundant peaches in two or three years. The branches are covered with flowers, and tourists who come here are happily sightseeing and picking.
Just when she was resting and daydreaming, a loud call of "Xiaoju!" brought her back to reality.
"I'm here, Tsinghua University." Xiaoju turned her head and responded.
"Xiao Ju, do you still have the local eggs? An Chen called just now and asked us to leave him two more boxes. The customer has already paid the deposit in advance." Jiang Qinghua walked to Xiao Ju and asked excitedly.
"It should be enough. Come on, let's go to the mountain to pick up eggs." Xiao Ju happily replied.
The two of them chatted while walking up the mountain.
Xiaoju looked at the fruit trees all over the mountains and plains, and happily told Jiang Qinghua her next plan: "Qinghua, I plan to plant some more mushrooms under these fruit trees, mainly chestnut mushrooms, so that these can be Utilize the mountains and forests to the maximum extent possible.”
Jiang Qinghua replied: "The chestnut tree mushroom is highly recognized in BJ, and its nutritional value is also very high. It can indeed be cultivated. In addition, I suggest that the creek at the bottom of the mountain can also be used to transform several places of running water. The pond can not only breed some ducks, but also stock some fish fry in the water, so that a fishing project can be added later, what do you think?"
Xiaoju smiled and praised: "Not bad, you still have an idea!"
After picking up the eggs, the two sat side by side on the hillside, looking at the fruit trees and flocks of native chickens all over the mountains and plains. Jiang Qinghua and Xiaoju couldn't help but smile with relief on their faces.
"Xiao Ju, I feel that your whole person has changed since you took over the mountain forest! I almost don't recognize you anymore!" Jiang Qinghua sincerely admired Xiao Ju's transformation.
After hearing this, Xiao Ju laughed heartily: "Look what you said, I am still the same Xiao Ju. As for changes, I feel that I am stronger and braver than before. I used to be too weak and too short-sighted. .”
Speaking of this, Xiaoju couldn't help but recall the unbearable marriage life in the past: Xiao Qiang's mother's various difficulties, Xiao Qiang's blatant cheating, the indifference of her parents, and her cowardly self was unable to change all this, so she could only choose to jump into the lake. Suicide...the past is not far away, but thinking about it is like a dream.
Jiang Qinghua said with deep feeling: "I remember when I first met you, I thought you were a pretty girl, very gentle and capable. Later, when you married Xiao Qiang, you slowly felt that you were a pretty girl." You have become less and less confident, less energetic, and more and more haggard. Since the divorce, you have slowly become yourself again, and now you are exuding a feeling that you have never experienced before. Being confident makes me feel like my whole person is full of upward power, and I am totally different from before!”
After hearing this, Xiao Ju sighed: "I have to set an example for Niu Niu! I was born in a family that values ​​boys over girls. I have suffered from cold treatment and bitterness since I was a child. I also felt deeply inferior because of my gender. And Niu Niu did the same. Born in such a family, she was disliked by her own grandmother and despised by her father because of her gender. I can't let Niuniu make the same mistakes as I did because of her family of origin. I have to be a good girl for her now. As a role model, I used my own personal experience to tell her that only when a woman is strong can she save herself and get the respect she deserves from others."
"That's so well said!" Jiang Qinghua couldn't help but clapped her hands and praised, "You are an amazing mother!"
At this moment, the two of them heard bursts of laughter and laughter.Jiang Qinghua curiously guessed: "Could it be that this large peach blossom forest attracts outing tourists?"
Xiaoju replied: "Let's go and take a look."
Following the direction of the sound, the two of them carried stupid eggs and found the peach blossom forest one after another. They saw many backpackers with their children admiring the flowers and taking photos in the peach blossom forest.
Xiaoju stepped forward and warned with a smile: "Everyone can enjoy the flowers, just be careful not to break the branches."
At this time, one of the female tourists asked: "Does this peach blossom forest belong to your home?"
Xiaoju smiled and replied: "I own this entire mountain forest. You are welcome to come and play often in the future."
"Yeah! There are also stupid eggs!" At this time, another sharp-eyed male tourist saw it and hurried forward and asked, "It looks like authentic local eggs. Does the boss still have any? I will buy some too."
Xiaoju replied sheepishly: "I'm really sorry, that's all I have. Others paid a deposit."
At this time, tourists who came to enjoy the flowers gathered around.
"Are there free-range chickens on this mountain?" one of the tourists asked.
"Yes, there are many free-range native chickens and free-range black pigs on the mountain!" Jiang Qinghua replied quickly.
"Boss, do you sell local chicken?"
"Boss, how much does black pork cost per pound?"
"Boss, what else do you have on the mountain?"
……
Everyone asked about Xiaoju and Jiang Qinghua.
After replying one by one, Jiang Qinghua looked at the tourists who had dispersed, and a good idea came to his mind. He smiled and suggested to Xiao Ju: "Xiao Ju, look at how recognized the green agricultural products market is! How about we do it again? Let’s set up a farmhouse, produce and sell on our own and increase added value, what do you think?”
"If we set up another farmhouse, can we be busy?" Although Xiaoju agreed with Jiang Qinghua's idea, she was afraid that she would not have the energy to keep up.
"It shouldn't be a problem if we hire more people. You see, last fall, those city people who picked walnuts and chestnuts left as soon as they were done. If we build another farmhouse, we can let everyone not only experience the joy of picking, but also Being able to enjoy the fruits of their labor on site makes tourists happy and we can further increase revenue generation, which is the best of both worlds!" Jiang Qinghua continued.
"That's okay. When these fruit trees bear fruit in the future, there will be more people picking them. Then, after picking, they can stay and taste our own free-range chickens, ducks, mushrooms, etc. It will also be good." Xiao Ju Agree with Jiang Qinghua’s suggestion.
"But where should we hold the farmhouse?" Xiao Ju was worried.
"How about at my house?" Jiang Qinghua thought for a moment and replied, "My yard is big and it's close to the mountains and forests, so it's quite suitable."
"Can uncle and aunt agree?" Xiao Ju asked worriedly.
"It should be okay. I'll go back and discuss it with my parents." Jiang Qinghua replied confidently.
When he returned home, Jiang Qinghua told his parents about his idea of ​​teaming up with Xiaoju and opening a farmhouse in his own home, and asked for their opinions.
Father Jiang said: "Xiao Ju is a hard-working and conscientious child, and is a good master of business. It is suitable for you to jointly run a farmhouse in our house, but maybe the place at home is too small, and there is not enough room for just a few tables. opened."
Mother Jiang joked: "How many tables do you want to sit at? In the beginning, it won't be a big problem if there are few people. When there are more people in the future, we can build a second floor and free up the first floor to make private rooms." Well."
Jiang Qinghua quickly agreed: "Mom is right. Once we start doing it, we can find a place now."
Father Jiang nodded after hearing this.He paused for a while and asked: "Tsinghua, I heard that through Xiaoju, the walnuts and chestnuts on the barren mountain were sold for a lot of money last year. Now her local eggs are also in short supply. Now you want to run a farmhouse? This Xiaoju is really capable!"
Seeing her husband praising Xiao Ju, Aunt Zhang was also full of praise: "This Xiao Ju is such a good girl. Not only is she capable, but she also has brains and a docile temperament. It's a good thing she left the Xiao family, otherwise she would really want to kill such a good girl." The girl is ruined.”
Seeing that her parents recognized Xiaoju so much, Tsinghua was naturally happy and beaming like a child.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Zhang hurried forward and asked tentatively: "Tsinghua, you see that you are now a grown-up. You and Xiao Ju are both single now. I think you two are quite compatible. Why don't you tell Xiao Ju about getting married?" Come to our house?"
Father Jiang took over with a smile and said, "I think it's okay! Niuniu also likes her Grandma Zhang."
Hearing what his parents said, Jiang Qinghua said shyly, "Hey."
Jiang Qinghua knew in his heart that he felt sympathy and distress for Xiao Ju at the beginning. In the past two years after the divorce, as the two of them got along more and more, he realized that he not only had a good impression of Xiao Ju, but also slowly fell in love with this unfortunate person. She is a stubborn girl, especially since she started her business. Through the two of them getting along day and night, he knew that he had fallen deeply in love with Xiaoju.In fact, he didn't need to be reminded by his parents. He had already wanted to find an opportunity to express his feelings to Xiaoju.
Not long after, one day at noon, Xiaoju and Niuniu were busy in the mountains and forests.After Jiang Qinghua got off work, he came to the mountains and forests to look for Xiaoju.
Niu Niu was picking small wild flowers in the forest with her head down. When she heard Jiang Qinghua calling her softly, she hurriedly ran towards Jiang Qinghua.When she came to the front, Niu Niu held up the little wild flowers in her hand and said coquettishly: "Uncle, do you think these little flowers look good?"
Jiang Qinghua replied with a smile: "It looks good."
"Give it to you!" Niu Niu said happily.
Jiang Qinghua took the small wild flowers from Niu Niu's hand, picked some more and tied them into a bunch. Then he squatted down and whispered a few words in Niu Niu's ear, and then handed the bunch of small wild flowers to Niu Niu.
Niu Niu jumped up and down to Xiao Ju with the bouquet, and said in a sweet voice: "Mom, Uncle Jiang asked me to give it to you."
Xiao Ju put down the farm work in her hands, took the little wild flower with a smile, looked back at Jiang Qinghua, smiled shyly, and continued to work on the farm with her head lowered.
After Niuniu sent the flowers, she ran to Jiang Qinghua. Jiang Qinghua asked with a smile: "Niuniu, do you like Uncle Jiang?"
Niu Niu happily replied: "Niu Niu really likes Uncle Jiang."
Jiang Qinghua smiled and asked, "How about Uncle Jiang being your father?"
After hearing this, Niuniu clapped her hands happily: "I like Uncle Jiang to be Niuniu's father."
Jiang Qinghua quickly squatted down and picked up Niuniu with a smile, came to Xiaoju's side, and asked with a smile: "Niuniu wants me to be her father, do you, a mother, agree? Ms. Xiaoju!"
Xiaoju was silent for a moment, and then replied with some concern: "Tsinghua, you are a very good man and very kind to me. I am very grateful in my heart, but I had a failed marriage and had a girl. I'm afraid..."
Jiang Qinghua interrupted Xiao Ju and said sincerely: "Xiao Ju, I don't care what you said. I only care about whether you like me too."
"Tsinghua, you are so kind, so sincere, and so kind to me and Niuniu, how could I not like you?" Xiaoju replied shyly.
Jiang Qinghua put down Niuniu, walked up to Xiaoju, and asked seriously: "Xiaoju, I don't want you to accept me because you are moved or for other reasons. What I want is whether you love me as a person or not. Do you understand?"
Looking at Jiang Qinghua's sincere and passionate eyes, Xiaoju's suppressed emotions for a long time broke through. It was Jiang Qinghua who made her understand for the first time what it feels like to love someone.When she was most helpless, it was Xiao Qiang who helped her pay back her scholarship. Xiao Ju knew in her heart that she agreed to be with Xiao Qiang because she was moved. She had never fallen in love with this man.Maybe it was because of repaying her kindness, or maybe because she had been wandering alone for too long. She longed to be loved and relied on. No matter what the reason was, Xiaoju knew that she had never loved Xiao Qiang.But Jiang Qinghua is different. He is sincere and kind, truly appreciates himself, respects himself, and understands himself very well. Xiao Ju knows that this is the sign of a man truly loving a woman. Maybe Xiao Qiang has never really loved her, right?He had never deeply cared about or understood her inner being.
Although Xiaoju knew that after such a long time of getting along and working together, even a stupid person had understood Jiang Qinghua's feelings for her, and she had long expected that this day would come. But now that she has such conditions, it is considered a high level for her to find Jiang Qinghua. Well, given his conditions, it would be very easy to find an unmarried girl, and I didn't want to delay him.
Xiaoju shyly replied: "Tsinghua University, it's actually you who made me understand what it feels like to truly love someone."
After Jiang Qinghua heard this, he quickly stepped forward and hugged Xiaoju tightly, saying affectionately: "Xiaoju, your words are enough. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you two for the rest of my life."
"Thank you, Qinghua. Niuniu and I are so lucky to have met you!" Xiaoju said to Jiang Qinghua equally affectionately.
Seeing Jiang Qinghua and her mother hugging each other, Niu Niu jumped up happily!
"Niuniu, come here quickly!" Jiang Qinghua called softly.After Niuniu trotted over, Jiang Qinghua picked up Niuniu and continued to ask, "Niuniu, Uncle Jiang will be your father from now on! Are you happy?"
Niuniu nodded like she was pounding garlic and replied: "Happy!"
Looking at the big and small children in front of her, Xiaoju felt warm in her heart, and a warmth she had never felt before arose spontaneously.After so many years, she had waited, suffered, and struggled, and now she finally found her true destination.
