Chapter 66 Making money
Forget it, I'd better not talk too much.
The old uncle is her master!
If you ask your mother to go to settle the score with your uncle because of your revelations, is this considered bullying the master and destroying the ancestors?
Song Juan thought for a while and decided to let Li Guilan continue to be kept in the dark.
After all, Lijia'ao is very poor. This is the common understanding of the entire Qiaojia Town.
In the next few days, in addition to busy work in the fields, the villagers picked jujubes from the mountains.
As the dates in places with dense jujube trees have been picked, villagers no longer go up the mountain in droves. Instead, women peel and dry them at home, while the men continue to run up the mountain to pick or even go to the mountains.
Went to the top of a hill from another village.
The fact that jujube pits can be sold for money was not controlled in Banpo Village, but spread early on.
However, some people in some villages believe in it, while others in some villages do not believe in it.
After all, I didn’t see any money coming in. The credibility of this matter needs to be verified.
As the birthplace of the news that jujube pits can be sold for money, Banpo Village has attracted much attention.
In order to ensure that this business can continue, the village will check whether the date pits in each household have been dried to ensure that there are no mistakes.
In this way, when the autumn harvest came to an end, the village also weighed and packed all the date cores, weighing more than 50,000 kilograms.
To transport this to the county town, the tractor would have to make many trips.
Qi Bajin called Song Weimin again and asked him to ask the old man of Huimin Pharmacy if the pharmacy could come to the village.
As a result, it really works!
Compared with the tractors from the commune, two large trucks came directly from Huimin Pharmacy.
The old man came to the scene in person and inspected the date stones in Banpo Village. The results were very satisfactory.
It was more than 50,000 kilograms, and it was sold for more than 500 yuan.
On average, a family only earns a few yuan.
Very few indeed.
But you can earn a few dollars in a few days. To the villagers, this is free money.
The most important thing is that at this time, the purchasing power of money is a bit scary.
A pound of rice costs just over ten cents.
A pound of pork only costs sixty-seven cents.
At the end of the year in the village, work points are paid according to the settlement. If a family is lucky, they can get dozens of yuan, but if they are unlucky, some can only get a dozen yuan.
Based on this comparison, how little do these few dollars cost?
Nothing less!
When the village received the money, it was not kept until the end of the year to be distributed, but was distributed directly to each household.
The date seeds from Song Laifu and Song Guoqing were mixed together, and they were divided the most. The difference of a few cents was enough to cost thirty yuan.
The reason why there are so many is Wang Lanhua’s great contribution.
After all, she hasn't been working in the fields these days, and has been focusing on picking jujubes.
Song Laifu waved his hand, and Song Guoqing got twenty yuan, and he kept the more than nine yuan.
"Dad, more, more!"
When Song Guoqing saw that his father had given him two pieces of great unity, he definitely couldn't agree.
"It's none of your business!"
Song Laifu glared at Song Guoqing and said, "Basically, your wife picks your dates. He deserves this."
Since the dates from both families were bagged and dried together, it’s hard to say which family got how much.
But Song Juan was satisfied with Song Laifu's decision.
After all, she has seen how hard her fourth sister-in-law has been working these past few days.
In contrast, Song Juan felt that after working hard for a few days, it was enough to earn just one dollar.
And this one dollar may still be somewhat unreachable.
After all, most of the educated youth in the village did not earn a single dollar.
It's hard to make money by digging in the dirt.
…
With Banpo Village's personal account of receiving the money, people in Qiaojia Town and even several surrounding towns became uneasy.
It just so happened that the autumn harvest was coming to an end, and many people went into the mountains to pick dates.
However, their luck is not good.
A sudden autumn rain, strong winds and heavy rain caused all the ripe jujubes to fall to the ground, or simply be washed away by the rain.
Although this autumn rain only lasted for half a day, it also made the work of picking jujubes much harder.
What's even worse is that the next few days will be cloudy, and the crisp autumn weather seems to have suddenly disappeared.
The picked jujubes were not dried, but became moldy and hairy.
The result is that this time, Banpo Village made money by selling date cores.
Of course, Song Weimin's daughter-in-law, Kong Laidi's natal village also made money. However, Kong Laidi's natal family did not have enough prestige in their village, and not everyone in their village went up the mountain to pick dates.
Compared with Banpo Village, which almost picked all the wild jujubes from the mountain, Kong Laidi’s family’s village only picked a small part.
After knowing that jujube pits can really be sold for money, many people regretted it.
Banpo Village received this windfall, knowing that it was the second son of the Old Song family, and they were all grateful to the Old Song family.
The reputation of the old Song family has reached a new level.
Li Guilan still felt that it was her daughter's contribution, how could her second son gain fame?
"Mom, please don't talk about it everywhere. I'm in enough trouble now!"
Song Juan was frightened.
When word spread that she was lucky and had a good life, a large group of people came to their house, so she had no choice but to run away to her uncle's village to hide.
etc!
Thinking of this, Song Juan suddenly realized that she seemed to be blessed with great luck.
If that wasn't the case, why did she go to hide from Qingjing, but in the end, she opened her heavenly eyes and received the inheritance of physiognomy.
Misfortune is where blessings depend!
However, even so, Song Juan still felt that her reputation was good enough.
Too much is too little!
Let your second brother receive the good thing this time!
Seeing her daughter's avoidance, Li Guilan stopped talking about it.
However, what Song Juan didn't know was that her mother was unhappy and was thinking about how to get her second son to compensate her little girl for some benefits.
When the autumn harvest was over, the village was not at peace.
Winter wheat is ready to be sown.
Before that, all the land to be planted with wheat had to be plowed and fertilized, which was a big project.
There are no machines for plowing the land in the village, so we can only rely on manpower and animal power.
Fortunately, Banpo Village has a lot of cattle, more than ten of them.
At this time, these dozen or so oxen have become the treasures of the village. They must be handled carefully, fed well, and taken care of carefully.
Song Juan was not involved in working in the fields, she was reading.
The third brother, Song Jianjun, has already contacted her. He will go to the commune to take the exam at the beginning of the new year. As long as he passes the exam, he will be able to work as a temporary teacher in the commune primary school.
The salary is not much, twelve yuan a month.
Of course, the food is not supplied by the country you eat.
After all, it's just a temporary job.
But even temporary workers are what many people want.
"Be a teacher?"
"It might work?"
Song Juan was actually very unsure.
Even though she was just a primary school teacher, Song Juan was really a little panicked.
During this period, the profession of teacher is actually still somewhat dangerous.
The waves are rough, if you are not careful, you will be affected.
"How about failing the exam?"
Song Juan was determined to let go. She just wanted to ride out the waves safely and let the birds fly.
