The old man’s orange orchard is located in Ehime Prefecture, western Shikoku, Japan.

The special geographical conditions of the "Three Suns" have created the citrus that are famous all over the country.

Ehime Prefecture borders the Seto Inland Sea, where you can see the sea level of the water and the sky, and you can feel the salty and humid breath of the sea breeze.

The late autumn seasons there are full of colorful camellias.

The Agricultural Association is an organization that controls the lifelines of farmers across the country.

There are only more than 1 million farmers in the country today, but the members of the Farmers Association are several times higher.

More than 5,000 agricultural cooperative departments across the country involve various social services such as medical care, funeral sacrifices, education, insurance, loans, etc.

They will provide farmers with a series of tools, pesticides, agricultural machinery and other knowledge of agricultural tools, pesticides, and agricultural machinery.

We provide all-out one-stop and caring service to the farmers who join it.

Doing agriculture does not require any effort to purchase, process, sort, packaging, sales, etc., you just need to work according to the instructions it gives and wait for the fruit to be harvested.

When farmers' interests are eroded, they will also organize protests and put pressure on the government.

The Rural Association Bank they opened is the second largest bank in Japan, with countless deposits.

The Dalian government is also afraid of power.

certainly,

This behemoth is far less glamorous than the surface.

The drizzle continued, Uesugi Kazumi held an umbrella in his right hand and talked to his father on the phone about his grandfather.

"Did I want me to inherit the old man's orange orchard?"

"I think so beautifully. Can you plant oranges for you?"

"Well, although I don't understand it very much, I can do it. After all, the old man has taught me."

"How long has it been," Ken Uesugi suddenly chuckled twice when he thought of something, "Haha, if you say you are planting oranges, you just lie on the chair and bask in the sun and are lazy. You don't want to leave too much, and you don't know how you are lazy."

"It's born." Uesugi Kazuya replied.

"Okay, okay, don't talk to you about these things, just tell me a long story about your grandfather - he has hit a wall after quitting the Farmers Association this year."

Uesugi Kyu can guess the result of this incident.

"Can't sell oranges?"

Kenichi Uesugi put down the tea in his hand and sighed:

"Alas~ Although the Farmers Association is not as good as before in recent years, they still have a strong say in controlling these agricultural products. Your grandfather's orange orchard is not small, without warning, and suddenly withdrew without saying a word, and naturally he will be subject to a lot of resistance from the Farmers Association.

"As July approaches, honey tangerines are ripe, but no dealer or supermarket is willing to order your grandpa's oranges."

“There are no sellers I used to work with?”

"No, you should also know that they are not willing, but they dare not."

“How about direct online sales?”

"Hmph, your grandfather's orchard will be gone the next year."

Kenichi Uesugi continued: "The old man is very stubborn. Jiro and Shuzi can't persuade him, thinking that if you want to make a lot of money, you must get rid of the control of the Agricultural Association."

Jiro Uesugi and Shuko Uesugi are the second son and eldest daughter of the Uesugi family. They have been working in farming and growing oranges in Ehime Prefecture.

Uesugi Kazuki's father is the eldest son.

"Ahem, this time I'm going to tell you that if your grandfather can't sell honey tangerines in July, he will pay a lot of money and we need our help at that time."

“…”

Uesugi Obusa understood the meaning: "That is, it's necessary to pay?"

"Well, that is, your pocket money is going to be reduced."

“…”

It's okay, I just earned two million.

Kenichi Uesugi on the other end of the phone: "Jirou and Shuko have already put a lot of money on the old man, but the total amount is still not enough to reach the cost of compensation, so... your two million is also possible..."

"Understood."

beep--

Uesuma hung up the phone.

"...Um?"

Ken Uesugi, who had a work sign hanging on his neck, was stunned for a second when he heard the blind voice.

Then turn off the screen of the phone, put it on the table, pick up the cup beside it and sip a sip of tea, close your eyes, and said quietly:

"This kid has something else to say."

—————

"Zojun...what happened?" Hanamara Hanaguro saw him calling for a long time.

The rain has not diminished, and it seems to be much heavier.

The banging sound of the transparent umbrella hitting the bang is short and thin.

Uesugi Osa's hand holding an umbrella couldn't help but approach her and said helplessly: "I originally said to invite Xiao Hanawai to have a delicious meal, but Joon-kun has no money again."

"Didn't Joe earn only 2 million yen?" Hanamaru Hanaguro warmly hugged his umbrella-holding arm, and his small body approached him and leaned towards him.

"It's gone again." Uesugi Do can only say this, "Little Hanawa will raise me soon."

Hanamaru Hanabu blinked at him, showing a nice smile on his face: "Okay."

"Don't you mind if I'm so useless?"

Hanamaru Hanabu wrapped his hands around his arms, leaning his little head against his shoulder and closing his eyes and saying:

"Just as long as Joe is Joe, it's enough. Huahuo will try his best to take good care of him."

"Little Fireworks..."

Sometimes Uesugi Sao feels that she is not worthy of her unreserved close dedication, and she feels guilty about not caring for her.

"How about I cook today?"

"Um..."

Hanamaru Hanahuo quickly opened his eyes and shook his head, and his hair swayed: "June Zhao, just rest, Hanahuo is enough."

The loud sound of raindrops is a bit disturbing the mind. Most people on the sidewalk lean against the trees where the rain is less.

The vehicle ran past his side and the sound of splashing water rang out.

Uesugi Sao listened to these sounds and was silent.

“…”

“Is it really not delicious?”

"Zhaojun has been working hard all the time! Hanaman can feel it!" Hanamanu Hanaman encouraged him with great sincerity.

Uesugi began to worry about whether to order the -9 dish to the positive number.

Hanaman Hanabu continued, the black sailor suit has the youthful and agile nature of a girl:

"Don't care too much, either. Hanawa is Zhaojun's fiancée. She will always be by Zhaojun's side. She will work hard to complete the lunch box and supper every day."

"As long as Zhaojun doesn't get tired of eating, just dislike the fireworks."

Uesugi Dog smiled and said to her, "I'm still afraid that you will dislike me."

"No, although many people don't like Joe, Hanawa will always like him."

After saying that, the girl smiled at him.

Once a person gets something, he will forget the feeling of watching it while standing on tiptoeing and slitting down the window.

Although I have long forgotten the freshness of standing on tiptoe, her heart-warming smile and the familiar smile that has been with me for twelve years are worth cherishing and protecting for life.

"I'll help you rub your shoulders today."

"Zhaojun...don't you want to sneak up on it..."

"No, I just want to make you feel relaxed."

"Um..."

"Actually... Hayabuki wouldn't mind if he said... Hanamaru Hanabuki's voice became smaller and smaller, so small that even Uesugi could not hear it clearly.

"What?"
