43, no farming
"Why are you just coming back now? Your aunt and aunt came here just now and asked you." As soon as Wang Bo returned to the rice noodle shop, he heard Wang Jichang complain.
"I'm bragging to Li Niang and the others. What's going on? My aunt and my uncle are here? Why don't you keep them and make fun of me?" Wang Bo took the ducks sent by Li Guilan and Jiang Mei to the kitchen while dealing with them casually. If it were in his previous life, he would definitely feel sorry for not seeing my aunt and my uncle. Now, except for the limited number of people in his life, others are not able to attract his attention.
"I've been playing for a long time, I'm fine? By the way, what are you carrying?"
"Horizontal duck!"
"Did you buy a high-quality duck? I also said to go to the farmers' market to buy vegetables. It just so happened that you will braised duck. By the way, you bought two more? Buy one is enough, buy two!" Wang Jichang muttered, his face flushed. Speaking of delicious food, Wang Jichang recognized the second, but he didn't dare to recognize the first.
"Who bought it? They gave it to Li Niang and Zhang Xiaojun."
"What? Zhang Xiaojun gave it to you? Will his ungrateful wolf give you a duck?" Wang Jichang asked in disbelief.
"It was given by his wife Jiang Mei."
"Oh, I'll just say it! How could Zhang Xiaojun be willing to give us ducks? It would be possible if it was Jiang Mei." Wang Jichang looked suddenly enlightened, turned to look at Wang Bo's mother, and said proudly, "But Fanyu, you're strange. If you don't give us a delivery sooner or later, you've never seen these couple send us ducks for us before. Today, the sun is coming out from the west, so I'm willing to give us ducks. Tsk tsk..." Wang Jichang looked like he was a good-looking expression when he got the cheaper.
"Hehe, that's because I know you're going to get rich, Brother Wang!" My aunt picked up the baseball cap on her head and fanned her face while joking. She was also wearing the work clothes designed by Wang Bo, but she was temporarily used by her mother. Yesterday afternoon, Wang Bo led her to measure the size of the tailor, and it will take two days to get it back. Zhong Xiaomin was both novel and satisfied with this unique work clothes, especially the "poke hat" on her head. She would take it down and watch it if she had anything to do.
"What kind of money is it? I have a lot of debts on my back. I don't know when I can pay it back. I'll make a fortune? I'll make a fortune!" When my aunt said she was making a fortune, Wang Jichang immediately began to refute it. Wang Bo realized that his stepfather's "education" yesterday was quite effective. When my mother told Wang Jichang the story of the bad boy borrowing money tonight, I'm afraid the effect of "education" yesterday would be more profound.
It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and there were not many people eating rice noodles. The family was also preparing to make dinner. Wang Bo planned to go to the vegetable market to weigh a few kilograms of potatoes to braised duck. Just as he was about to go out, he saw that his aunt had already picked up a spatula and started peeling the potatoes.
"Hey, when did you buy potatoes? I also said to go to the vegetable market to weigh a few pounds."
"It was not bought, it was delivered by your uncle just now. There are also a large basket of cucumbers, peppers, cowpeas and eggplant sent by your uncle and second uncle. In the next week, we won't have to buy vegetables." Zeng Fanyu explained to Wang Bo with a smile, looking very happy.
"Uncle and the others are so good." Wang Bo sighed, "Mom, then have you given the money to your uncle?"
"I said I wanted to give money, but your uncle didn't want it."
"Just a little bit of bad food, what money do you want! I'll just say it! " My aunt said it was a little "unhappy" when she heard that Wang Bo said it.
Wang Bo’s four uncles, except for his third uncle who worked outside, all three of them worked in the countryside, and their main income was to grow some vegetables to sell them. In his previous life, Wang Bo’s family often ate vegetables grown by their uncles, and even went to work in Shuangqing. Every time he went back to his hometown and left, his uncles would stuff him bags of small bags of side dishes and let him take them back to Shuangqing for food.
I didn't say anything about my previous life. In this life, Wang Bo said that he was unwilling to take advantage of his uncles for nothing. However, he said directly that he would not let his uncles deliver vegetables or give money, and he was afraid that he would hurt their hearts, so he asked his uncles to say that he was out of here.
Is there any way to get the best of both worlds?
Wang Bo's mind changed and soon thought of a way to prevent his uncles from suffering losses and satisfy his family's best in both worlds. So he began to say to his aunt:
"My aunt, you have seen the current situation. My mother is busy with the store, so I may not have time to grow vegetables in the future. Not only do I have no time to grow vegetables, but my family of three may have to contract out the fields for other people to grow them.
"But our family cannot ignore vegetables or rice. So, I thought, if my uncle is interested, we can give it to him to plant it, and we only need to hang 1,200 kilograms of rice every year.
"As for vegetables, we also bought them from my uncle and the other three uncles. The price is enough to be executed according to the retail price of the market. Because this is not eaten once or twice, but it is necessary to eat them every day. It is not realistic to eat all of them for nothing. Do you think, my aunt?"
Wang Bo decided on the current consumption of the three of his family. However, with the continuous improvement of living standards, he would definitely not be able to eat so much rice in the future.
Not only did Wang Bo's proposal not only Zhong Xiaomin did not expect, but also Wang Jichang and Zeng Fanyu. Zeng Fanyu thought about it and soon found that the idea that his son was thinking was very good. It not only solved the problem of eating and eating for a family of three, but also avoided the waste of fields. It also prevented the water from flowing out of the outsiders' fields, which helped his younger brother. So he immediately echoed:
"This idea is good, Xiaomin. You will go back tonight and tell Fan Song about it, and ask Fan Song to plant our fields and private land. We will buy vegetables from your house. You think, since you have to buy vegetables every day, it is better to let you make money instead of making money for others."
Wang Jichang felt that it was a bit of a loss to exchange 1,200 kilograms of rice for his own four acres of paddy fields and private land for his own business. He disagreed, but his son and wife had already spoken out, so he couldn't refute it.
However, Wang Jichang quickly thought about it. Now that his family has made a net profit of several hundred yuan a day, he is about to get rich. It doesn’t seem to be very meaningful to care about the harvest in the fields. It’s better to sell my brother-in-law just for the favor so that his brother-in-law who has always looked down on him will know:
Brother-in-law, don’t look down on your brother-in-law! In the future, you and your couple will have to rely on your brother’s support!
Thinking of this, Wang Jichang felt much better immediately, and he followed his wife to persuade Zhong Xiaomin:
"Xiaomin, ask Zeng Fansong to put his head on the ground. If your sister and I didn't have time to plant it now, how could he have such an opportunity? I heard from my village chief's comrade-in-arms that the country will abolish all the agricultural tax in a few years. In the future, all the farmer's fields will be planted by his own. The fields will be more precious and the farmers' lives will be easier. There will be no harm in a variety of fields."
Wang Jichang's words actually make sense, because six years later, in 2005, the country will cancel the agricultural tax that has been suppressed by the Chinese for thousands of years. The life of farmers will indeed be much better from that. But it is not surprising that this is said from other people. It is more funny to say it from the mouths of a pseudo-farmer who suffers from what he has planted.
Zhong Xiaomin didn't expect that his nephew would give him such a suggestion. After thinking about it for a moment, he thought it was a good thing, but now she couldn't make the decision and needed to go back and discuss with her uncle, so she said, "Okay, Brother Wang, sister, Bo'er. I'll go back to discuss with Fan Song tonight. If he wants, we will plant your fields and private land. It's too little for only 1,200 kilograms of rice, so I'll just hang 1,500 kilograms of rice for you!"
Wang Jichang was about to say "I want to get it", but Wang Bo spoke in advance:
"One,500 kilograms? My aunt, do you want to swell our family to death? You can't finish 1,200 kilograms and get 1,500 kilograms! Just one,22! That's all."
