Singleton A Niu Tea Garden Encounter (micro-fiction)

Ah Niu's cousin built a 10,000-acre ecological tea garden in Laoshan Pass, and because of the lack of manpower, he invited Ah Niu to work in the tea garden. Ah Niu happened to meet in the tea garden, got true love, stripped off and ended his single life, and achieved a happy marriage.

Speaking of A Niu, people are born black as their name suggests, with a wide mouth and thick lips, a tall and thick body, a strength as a cow, a thick disposition, and not good at words. But morality and willingness to help are good descendants in the mouths of the neighbors.

Ah Niu has an older sister, two years older than him. The sisters and brothers lost their father at an early age, and it was their mother who pulled them up. Now her sister is married and has children, and Ah Niu lives with her mother.

When Ah Niu was in his twenties, he had a short-lived marriage. At that time, I was introduced to a woman from the next village. Cohabitation has not yet received a marriage license, less than half a year, the woman suspected that his family is poor, so she ran away in the name of going to Guangdong to work, and then never came back. Since then, there has been no matchmaker to come to the door, and he is now over thirty years old and is still single and single.

Ah Niu's cousin was only a few years older than him, but he could speak the Tao, had a flexible brain, and was a well-known and capable person in the local area. In previous years, because the highway passed through the local area, a large amount of sand and gravel materials were required. He keenly seized this opportunity, and with his clever ability to argue, he connected with the highway builder and contracted the supply of sand and stone needed for road construction. Taking advantage of the rich local stone resources, a quarry was established. In a few years, I made a lot of money.

In recent years, the state has begun to attach importance to ecological and environmental protection, and is preparing to shut down a number of quarries. While other quarry owners were still hesitating, even resisting. Ah Niu's cousin also took the initiative to take the lead in applying for the closure of the quarry to contract the abandoned tea garden in the village for many years, which was commended and strongly supported by the government department, and gave him a lot of preferential policies and financial support.

Cousin A Niu's tea garden has thousands of acres, built in the mountains at an altitude of more than 800 meters, with a high altitude, pleasant climate and humid air, which is the most ideal base for alpine cloud tea breeding.

The cousin took a fancy to the honesty of the A Niu people, worked hard and hard, and as soon as the tea garden was built, he called A Niu to work and help manage the tea garden.

Ah Niu has been working in his cousin's tea garden for several years, and the tea garden has also entered the tea harvest period. Under the advice of experts from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the cousin mainly focuses on high-end brand products of alpine cloud mist maojian tea. From the beginning of the spring equinox every year, all of them are manually picked, which requires a large number of tea pickers. The girls and daughters-in-law of the nearby neighboring eight townships all come to the tea farm to pick tea. Remuneration is calculated on a pound basis, and the day is settled and paid on the spot.

The cousin trusted Ah Niu and entrusted the work of settling the payment every day to Ah Niu. At the peak of tea picking, there are hundreds of tea pickers. Every day in the afternoon, Ah Niu began to get busy. Each tea picker took the acceptance slip to find Ah Niu to receive the money, and sometimes there were many people who had to queue up for a long time.

One afternoon, there were a lot of people receiving money, and Ah Niu was busy until it was almost dark before he paid the last payment. When he closed the door and walked out of the finance room after paying the money, he saw a woman in her thirties standing outside, with an anxious face, as if she were about to cry.

Ah Niu saw the situation and hurriedly went up to ask: Sister-in-law, look at your appearance in such a hurry, is there anything wrong? You don't need my help.

Seeing Ah Niu ask this, the woman's tears brushed down. She told Ah Niu that her surname was Yao, her name was Xiangyu, and her home was in Shanchong Village, more than a dozen miles away from here. Today is the first day to come here to pick tea, and when I came, I hitchhiked to the front intersection. At first, I didn't grasp the time, I just wanted to collect more and earn more. It was late, everyone else was gone, the car was gone, and now there was no car to go home. How did you get these ten miles of mountain roads?

Ah Niu listened and said, Xiangyu sister-in-law, the sky is almost dark, or I will find a female worker in the tea garden for you, make up for a night, and then I will not go back, okay.

Xiangyu listened and hurriedly said, No, there are two children and a mother-in-law who is almost seventy years old in the family, and there are many other things, no matter what, I have to rush back. As he spoke, he cried urgently.

Ah Niu saw that Xiang Yu was so anxious, and asked again, what about your husband? Is he not at home?

When Ah Niu asked this, it was as if he had touched something sad about Xiangyu, and he was silent for a long time, saying that he had an incurable disease last year and left. After saying that, the tears kept falling.

After Ah Niu listened, he didn't ask any more questions. He comforted Xiangyu and said, Xiangyu sister-in-law is not in a hurry, you wait, I will find a way for you.

After a while, Ah Niu got an electric tricycle. He said to Xiangyu, This is a tricycle for buying vegetables in the tea garden canteen, and I have borrowed it to send you back.

Xiangyu heard that Ah Niu was going to send her back by electric tricycle, and said very gratefully, Brother, how can this work? The mountain road is not easy to walk, and there is such a long distance, it is too much trouble for you.

"Sister-in-law Xiangyu, get on the bus quickly, I will help you if you have difficulties, there is no such thing as trouble." Ah Niu said while telling Xiangyu to get in the car and sit down, start the car and prepare to go on the road.

Xiangyu got into the car and sat down and asked Ah Niu: Brother doesn't know what your name is, thank you so much.

Ah Niu replied: Xiang Yu Sister-in-law, my name is Iron Bull, everyone calls me Ah Niu, you don't have to say thank you, sit firmly and I am going on the road.

Xiangyu said from the bottom of her heart: Brother Ah Niu, you are really a very good person.

Ah Niu and Xiang Yu met in this way.

Since then, Xiangyu has often gone to the tea garden to pick tea. Ah Niu also tried his best to provide her with some convenience, and also helped her to go to the canteen to book a mid-life, and when it was hot, he brought her tea and water. As soon as they came and went, the two of them became very familiar with each other and had a little affection for each other.

One afternoon, there was a sudden shower. After the rain stopped, the tea leaves were too wet to be picked. Xiangyu and a few tea pickers felt that there was nothing to do, so they went to the nearby mountain to pull small bamboo shoots.

At this time, an accident occurred. When Xiangyu was pulling a bamboo shoot on the mountain, she was unfortunately bitten by a poisonous snake named Zhuyeqing. Bamboo leaf green belongs to a kind of poisonous snake, often hidden in the bamboo forest, once a person is bitten by it, if not dealt with in time, there will be a danger to life.

Ah Niu heard that Xiangyu was bitten by a poisonous snake and was very anxious, so he immediately contacted the county 120 and asked the hospital to urgently send a car to pick him up. And ran up the mountain to carry Xiangyu back and carry out temporary wound cleaning and bandaging. Ah Niu ran on the mountain for many years, slightly understood some methods of handling poisonous snake bites, had some snake medicine on his body, and quickly gave Xiangyu snake medicine. This temporarily prevented the spread of snake venom.

After the 120 ambulance arrived, Ah Niu accompanied Xiangyu to the county hospital. Busy in the hospital, he handled the hospitalization procedures for Xiangyu.

Xiangyu is hospitalized in the hospital, and Ah Niu has been accompanying her. It wasn't until a few days later, when Xiangyu was completely out of danger of life, that Ah Niu left. Before leaving the hospital, he knew that Xiangyu's family was in difficulty, so he quietly paid her five thousand yuan in advance for medical expenses.

When Xiangyu was discharged from the hospital, Ah Niu came to the hospital to pick her up again and helped her complete the discharge checkout procedures. Xiangyu wants to give him the hospitalization medical expenses that Ah Niu has paid in advance, but Ah Niu refuses to ask for it. Ah Niu said, Sister-in-law Xiangyu, I know that you are currently in financial difficulties, so I will lend you this money, and I will return it to me when you have money later. Xiangyu listened to Ah Niu say this, and was touched by not knowing how to be good. The mouth kept saying, Brother Ah Niu, you are so kind and great, I Xiangyu will not be able to repay you for life.

After this incident, Xiangyu fell in love with Ah Niu and thought that Ah Niu was a man with feelings and righteousness, worthy of lifelong trust.

Ah Niu also has a good feeling for Xiangyu, Xiangyu is smart and capable, clean and neat, has excellent appearance, understands feelings and is virtuous, and has the temperament and charm of a mature woman.

Soon after, the two of them came together and formed a happy couple.

After marriage, Ah Niu's cousin called Xiangyu to work in the tea making workshop of the tea garden. Ah Niu then took Xiangyu's two children and Xiangyu's mother-in-law to the tea garden to live.

Now their family, including Ah Niu's old mother, a total of six people live in the tea garden, harmonious, love each other, happy life together.
