Lying in a hospital bed, watching the only son Zhang Qiao busy busy in care of his own, 50 runfeng with mixed feelings, as a mother, for my son 2 years ago from the entrance give up when just 3 months, decided to return home to manage the mountain of Pomegranate garden, she couldn't get through. Runfeng felt that rural people want their children to go to a good school, will have a stable job, no longer work in the land of suffering involved is good, not too bad son.
Took the glass, watching my son just molting calluses on their hands, runfeng special love. Nearly 8 acres of Pomegranate Garden Hill, weeding and fertilizing the pruning and fruit thinning, pest control bags, to the last harvest harvesting, 2 years of field work, black son was 20 years old this year, and also lost weight.
This is why? Runfeng still don't understand, remember my son happy, he said, he would like to start, so that everybody can eat pesticide played original sour pomegranate. Give up home farming business of college entrance examination to prove their
Fuping Cao village is located in mapo village, here is the famous town of dried persimmons, in addition, because nearly a kilometer of Hutou Mt above sea level a unique geographical advantage, a lot of quality here is rich in fruits, pomegranates are villagers planting fruit trees.
Summer in late July, fist size of Pomegranate fruit hanging from the branches, suffused with golden light under the Sun.
Zhang Qiao's House is at the foot of Hutou Mt, the House is newly built near 4 years ago when the family still lived in megranate Orchard next to the cave on the mountain. So precisely, Zhang Qiao happy childhood was spent in the beautiful pomegranate garden, for him the more than 40-year history of the pomegranate garden, Grandpa and Dad's hard work is mind remember most pictures so far.
When I was six years old, pomegranate harvest that year, Zhang Qiao with her mother a few cars on the street selling, price of 8 cents a kilo, and sold a total of thousands of dollars, compared to parents for a year of hard work, Zhang Qiao seems to be thinking about at that time.
"Just don't want to work for someone else, and want to start your own business" plain and simple, is a farmer's son Zhang Qiao to reporters first impression. Then threw in their entrance to this move at home, which has more than 300 many villager is located in mapo village, was a sort of "news", after all, Zhang Qiao is currently the only guy that quit school back to the land, a move also became the villagers gossip fodder.
"I prefer to start your own business makes 20 Yuan a day, also reluctant to work for others earned 100 Yuan a day outside. "The summer 2014, Zhang Qiao in a lot of people opposed to the sound, is shouldering a hoe, started his own right choices, raise good let everyone taste of Pomegranate. Falling from the tree that is the very thing
5 o'clock in the morning, when dawn, Zhang Qiao then we woke up July at high temperatures, the weather is too hot, boy last night spread a mat to sleep on the roof, get up in the morning, Luo back soreness, don't know when I was bitten on the arm for several packages.
Take advantage of the cool weather early in the morning, Zhang Qiao to hurriedly went to see each pomegranate pomegranate garden stuffed cotton pest, while folded leaves around the fruit, pomegranate received full illumination.
May sprout, in June the efflorescence, cotton in July will give each a pomegranate, this period of time is the most busy time Zhang Qiao. In a month's time, he would total more than 30,000 more fruit. Some villagers in order to save time, basically pomegranate stopped up with mud, Zhang Qiao did not do that, he knew only from my grandfather's generation beginning with cotton, nature is justified.
Many Garnet in high, Zhang Qiao to climb the tree, each a fruit last harvest may be one more, so most don't want to give up on the top of it.
Wary of stepping on the branches, just trying to reach a distance of fruit, listen to the clash, the branch broke and fell Zhang Qiao directly. His face, arms and legs full of Pomegranate feels stabbed a bloodstain, itching the theory that pain.
To fall from a tree is not the first time, saw his parents as a child falling from a tree, the most serious of the father's loins for days at a time, straight up. Look broken in the pomegranate, Zhang Qiao still think it's kind of a shame. Steep slopes, high places, Zhang Qiao chose to give up, after all it is an incredible thing.
From more than 5 points to 11 points in the morning, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon till dark; hottest days, Zhang Qiao constantly drink water, lots of sweat, he basically do not have to go to the bathroom. Just want to let everyone eat no chemical sour pomegranate
"Again, I will stick to it, let everyone know that I had made the right choice," when speaking, Zhang Qiao continued to pull the hands calluses, 2 years ago with hoes on their shoulders into the pomegranate garden lawn mower for the first time when, for students who are less than 18 years old, is also a challenge.
Pick a moment hand is full of bubbles, worn-out endured the pain and keep working, and the occasional tree falls of unknown bugs, bites on the body is a bonus ... ... Now it seems that is a normal thing for Zhang Qiao.
Applying their sheep manure, but no water on the mountain, pomegranate garden irrigation is dependent on the weather, if a long drought, managed again to keep up, and pests, after a rain, pomegranate fruit is easy to crack is bad. Despite this, Zhang Qiao never own pomegranate pesticides, he always felt the pomegranate look like was like playing high face value of medicine "pomegranate", Zhang Qiao fruit for spots, seems slightly better in appearance.
"My garden if fight drugs, up to 40,000 pounds of fruit, no drug I would lose more than 10,000 kilos of" sour pomegranate because its high medicinal value, to frost the seasons to mature each year, Zhang Qiao will never get ahead of market fruit, even if customers find you, not fruits of the season, the young man never took off and sell them. "I want the best quality to the customer, he will be back for the second time. ”
Lunar calendar every year in October a pomegranate when you pick, because water in the bag, every pick Zhang Qiao dress pants is wet, but when the harvest is the most happy guy.
Laid out neatly in the room just to make a good packaging, last year, Zhang Qiao to register his own company – Suemori trading company, this guy trying to allow more people to enjoy via the Internet to grow your own original sour pomegranate.
For this interview, I spent a day and a night in mapo village to experience the life of Zhang Qiao.
Sun 37-degree temperature, I just in the pomegranate orchards on the hills climb up and down turn in a circle is sweating, sad exception, Zhang Qiao worked to carefully take care me; the pomegranate Garden only 8 acres, but scattered on the hutoushan, steep terrain, make human actions are not easy, let alone to conduct field work.
Perhaps it is because the original ecological and geographical environment of sour pomegranates in unique here, seems to be worth the wait, yield may not be great, but every quality is excellent. Because medicinal value, maturity every year, many mainlanders who drove over to visit to purchase, Zhang Qiao said his the far selling the pomegranates to Beijing.
Mountain inside, night Hou all are is so quiet, tired has day Zhang Qiao many when except in roadside turned turned is quietly to stay in home, and city in NI Rainbow flashing Xia young of wonderful night life compared, here of world is a original ecological of quiet, just this copies quiet behind, is because a 95 Hou guy of persistent pursuit and tireless struggle, is don't has a landscape, on like wonderful performances, big scene opened Qian of that moment, a quiet worth looks forward to.
