The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 63 The Ma Zhentang Family

Ma Zhentang felt that the Wang family took good care of him, so he took the signed contract and returned home whistling.

We all know that the breeding industry must be scaled up in order to have greater benefits.After the free-range chicken shed is equipped with cage-raising equipment, the scale of breeding can be expanded five times at once, which is definitely a blessing for farmers.

Which chicken farmer doesn't want to go to a chicken coop?
However, Ma Zhentang and the others have known for a long time that a 10-square-meter caged chicken house requires an investment of [-] yuan. This is not an investment that small farmers with little foundation can do.

But now, there is a 10 yuan cage chicken coop, and even a 5000 yuan air heater.

In Ma Zhentang's heart, he is really grateful to Wang Fumin and his son.

At the same time, Ma Zhentang was a little jealous of the Wang family.

"Master, what are you happy about?"

Ma Zhentang's wife's surname is Wu, and her name is Wu Dongmei. She is from Xiannvmiao Village to the east of Qingquanling Village.Wu Dongmei had known Wang Shaodong's mother Zhao Shiling since she was a child, and the two married to Taohualing Village. Due to various reasons, the two families moved around better.

Wang Fumin was willing to give this bargain to Ma Zhentang, which made Ma Zhentang feel that this friend was still a righteous person.

Seeing her husband beaming, Wu Dongmei knew there was something happy about it, so she hurriedly asked.

"Dongmei, Old Brother Wang really didn't treat us badly this time."

However, Ma Zhentang didn't finish his sentence, but his brows furrowed. He turned to look at his wife and asked, "Wife, do you know how much the Wang family was compensated for the college entrance examination last time?"

Wu Dongmei blinked, looked at her husband, shook her head and said, "I don't know, you didn't say anything, what are you so happy about?"

"Ahem, at least this number, talk in the room." Ma Zhentang stretched out a finger, then turned and entered the room.

Wu Dongmei wiped her hands and followed her husband into the house.

Ma Lili was reading a book in her own room at the moment, and when she heard that her father was back, she also came out from the back room.

"Dad, you're drinking again."

Ma Lili pouted when she smelled the alcohol on her father.

Ma Zhentang smiled and patted his daughter's head, and said, "Go and read, I will discuss something with your mother."

When Ma Lili heard this, she turned around reluctantly and went back to her hut.

"You didn't finish what you said just now. How much did you say they compensated the Wang family? Ten thousand?"

When Ma Zhentang heard this, he was obviously disappointed with his wife's ability to understand and reason: "Are you stupid? How can the Wang family be happy like that if you exchange 1 yuan for the champion?"

After being attacked by her husband, Wu Dongmei felt a little embarrassed, then looked at her husband timidly and asked, "Then, how much is that, is it one hundred thousand?"

Ma Zhentang nodded slightly, and then sighed: "Hey, it's more than a hundred thousand. Brother Wang used to be in the same situation as our family. After building the greenhouse, he only had 7 to [-] yuan as the capital, and he still owed it." All kinds of foreign debts. Do you know what old brother Wang asked me to do?"

Of course Wu Dongmei didn't know, she blinked and shook her head.Although Wu Dongmei usually speaks loudly when she is with the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law in the village, she is still very careful in front of her husband.Ma Zhentang has a very bad temper, and if he really gets angry, it is possible to set his house on fire.

If anyone can control Ma Zhentang, it may only be his daughter's words that can make him listen a little bit and make him quiet.

Of course, Ma Zhentang usually seems to be very self-restrained, and he doesn't speak much. He really complied with that sentence. A dog that bites does not bark, and a dog that barks does not bite. Wu Dongmei knows this better than anyone else.

Among other things, if Wu Dongmei made a fuss, Ma Zhentang could kill her in a fit of rage.

When they first got married, the Wu family in Xiannvmiao Village had suffered from Ma Zhentang's losses, so now the Wu family, including Wu Dongmei, are obedient and honest to Ma Zhentang.

When she was on the outfield, Wu Dongmei was careless and sometimes she didn't take her husband seriously and joked, but when she was alone, Wu Dongmei respected her husband very much.

Seeing his wife shaking his head, Ma Zhentang went on to say: "Brother Wang installed two sets of equipment for raising chickens in cages, and they paid for it. After the equipment came, they had a big shed with chickens that they couldn't get. Then, Brother Wang thought of us. Later I asked, what should you do if you sell chickens and make room? What about the equipment? Brother Wang said that the equipment is installed in our house , it will be ours in the future, and there is no need to rush to pay back the 8 yuan, and it will be enough to pay back [-] yuan a year."

Wu Dongmei was so surprised to hear her husband say this, and then sighed: "8 yuan for a set of chicken cage equipment? This is too cheap!"

"Don't start talking, I haven't finished yet. I'll do the math for you. The two sets of equipment cost 16 yuan, and Brother Wang plans to spend 2 yuan on the Red Jade Chicken this time. After we are in the greenhouse, let us help him raise 4 yuan. The investment in feed, vaccines, etc. will be borne by their family. The investment should be at least 24 yuan. Also, don’t forget, Old Brother Wang was not They spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a lot of chicken feed, and their house still has 2000 rubies! So, they have at least 45 in their hands!"

After calculating this account, even Ma Zhentang himself was shocked.

"Even if the feed can be credited, Old Brother Wang's family must have at least 25 now! This figure should be considered relatively accurate, and that is to say, they compensated the Wang family for the college entrance examination, which is about 15 to 20. A number between 15 and [-]! My dear, no wonder the whole Wang family is so happy! If my daughter is replaced by someone else, we will be happy to compensate us [-]!"

With a bang, the door of Ma Lili's room opened. Ma Zhentang saw his daughter come out angrily, stared at his father and asked, "Dad, what did you say just now?"

Ma Zhentang's daughter is very similar to himself, she looks very weak and gentle on the outside, but her real temper is always hidden under the gentle surface.Ma Lili usually doesn't get angry, but when she gets angry, it can make you remember it for a lifetime.

Wang Shaodong has never seen Ma Lili get angry, so in his impression, Ma Lili is a very gentle girl, this kind of understanding is one-sided.

Ma Zhentang was stunned for a moment, knowing that what he said just now made his daughter unhappy, wouldn't this be trading off his daughter's future?

"Dongmei, me, what did I say just now?" Ma Zhentang decided to pretend to be crazy.

Wu Dongmei sighed, and said, "I don't care about you two, I've got to add water to the chicken coop."

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhentang patted his forehead, and hurriedly said: "I have to clean up the idle chicken shed, and the next step is to install the equipment."

Ma Lili looked at her parents who walked out, and wondered: Brother Shaodong's family is so rich?
