good old days

The villagers were all comforted by Guo Yimin, and only Guo Hong's father was left.

Guo Yimin glanced at him and said, "Do you have anything else?"

Guo Hong's father murmured for a long time before he said, "My family just bought a bicycle and a sewing machine in Dachun. How come they are so rich? No one in our village is as good as his family this year."

Guo Yimin laughed angrily at him, "I asked you to contract the chicken farm last year, why didn't you do it? Now you are jealous when you see others making money? Xiaohong didn't tell you before that you were allowed to raise chickens and ducks? What did you say? Have you forgotten?"

Guo Hong's father scratched his head, "Who knew raising chickens was really profitable? The hens can sell eggs, and the roosters can be sold as meat when they are grown, and the hens can continue to produce chicks. If you think about it, you can really make a lot of money. money."

Guo Yimin "admired" his younger brother very much.

I don't dare to try anything. When I see others making money, I start to get jealous. I can't do anything. I am very short-sighted. The only good thing is that I gave birth to Guo Hong, a daughter who was admitted to Huaqing. It's all thanks to Guo Hong who doesn't follow suit. he.

"Then what do you want? Let you contract the chicken farm?"

Guo Hong's father nodded repeatedly, "That's what we mean. Don't worry, our whole family will work hard and ensure that not a penny that should be handed over to the village will be missing."

Guo Yimin: "Drinking too much cat urine and thinking about good things? You just see people making money, but you don't see how many times they go to the livestock station, how much they learn, how much medicine they buy, and how much time they spend serving those chickens? If I leave it to you, what will you do?"

Guo Hong's father was unconvinced: "We just do what Dachun's family does, and we don't learn how to do it."

Guo Yimin believed that he was the one with the devil: "Okay, go farm your land well. Others have gained experience in raising chickens, and the village has security. I won't let you run the chicken farm."

Guo Hong's father did not dare to fall out with Guo Yimin. After all, the village had to rely on this eldest brother for everything. "For Xiao Hong's sake, please help our family. You know the situation in my family. Every penny has to be broken into three." Petal Flower, my parents asked you to help us before they left."

Guo Yimin didn't speak for a long time.

Short-sighted and shameless, he has been submissive to his younger brother for so many years.

"Seeing that there are no fish ponds dug in the village, if you really want to do something, contract the fish pond. I can help you pay less next year."

Guo Hong’s father doesn’t want to do it: “I still know how to raise chickens, but who knows how to raise fish? What if I die and lose money if I don’t have that experience? I still have to give money to the village. I can’t do it, I can’t do it, I can’t do it, no... "

"You just don't want to help us. We are all one family after all. You don't want to see my family get better. What's the use of having you, the brother of the village party secretary..."

He muttered dissatisfiedly, and Guo Yimin took off his shoes and hit him, "Get out of here quickly."

Guo Hong's father ran away in despair. Guo Yimin came into the house and said to his mother-in-law: "It's so mud that I can't hold up the wall. I'm just dreaming day by day."

If you raise fish without experience, you may lose money, but the village will hire technicians, and the contract fee for the first year will not be much more. If he were the God of Wealth, he would definitely ignore this kind of person.

Guo Yimin's wife picked up the shoes and said, "I didn't give birth to Xiaohong while watching my brother and sister give birth to her. I even suspected that they picked up Xiaohong. Why didn't Xiaohong get born in my belly!"

...

At noon the next day, Jiang Xinyu and Guo Yimin talked on the phone.

Guo Yimin talked to Balabala and said that it was a bit difficult for his village to plant hazelnut trees this year, and the income was not as good as other villages. The hazelnut trees took several years to bear fruit, and he didn’t know whether they would succeed... People are moved by emotion and understand by reason, Jiang Xinyu He is not someone who is easily deceived, but with the precedent of raising the price of raisins, Guo Yimin’s further price increase will not be so surprising or unacceptable.

Without seeing her express her position, Guo Yimin continued: "In order to collect pine nuts, a half-grown boy fell from a tree and is still raising them at home. Although these things are naturally raised, it is really difficult to collect them." It takes a lot of effort…”

Jiang Xinyu sighed inwardly, "One kilogram has increased by 15 cents compared with last year. This is my bottom line."

The purchase price is rising, and her selling price has to follow suit.

People's living standards will get higher and higher in the future, and there will be more and more wealthy families, so they don't have to worry about not being able to sell things.

Costs are getting higher and higher, and price increases will also affect business.

Guo Yimin didn't say anything for a while. His ideal was to offer an additional 30 cents, and when Jiang Xinyu made a counter-offer, he could give up another 10 cents at most.

For an extra two cents, he could go back and explain to the villagers.

Jiang Xinyu didn't give him a chance to continue, "Secretary Guo, is there anything else you can do over there? Report the total to me, and I'll send you the money after I've done the calculation. Can you complete the account before the heavy snow closes the mountain?" By giving it to the villagers, everyone will be able to have a good winter, and life will be easier and faster when they are rich."

Guo Yimin felt that it was very inappropriate to mention the price increase again. He was led by Jiang Xinyu unconsciously and followed her words. After he finished speaking, he wanted to continue talking about the price increase, but he couldn't open his mouth. Besides, it seems that he is very fussy.

After discussing the payment, Jiang Xinyu added: "Last time I went to Yangcheng to buy some dry goods, and I brought back an extra radio. Guo Hong said that you like to listen to the news, so I will give you one when the time comes."

Guo Yimin felt that he was being manipulated by a junior. The key was that he still felt uncomfortable with it, "You don't need it, you don't need it. I have one at home, so you don't have to spend any money."

Jiang Xinyu: "One is enough. The old one can be used by Guo Hong and her brother and sister-in-law. You can keep this new one with peace of mind. There are many children at home. It is good to listen to the radio more. It can contact the outside world and broaden your horizons." "

Jiang Xinyu didn't buy the radio when she went to the customs to choose a car, but Chen Zhengyu sent it two days ago.

She already had one at home, but she really didn't need it, so she gave it away as a favor, and she didn't feel bad at all.

The purchase price cannot rise too much. She has no choice but to let the vineyards lead the raisins. But the goods here in the Northeast are different. They are all wild products raised by nature. If they are sold to her, she can make money to support her family. , the price increase of 150 cents is also based on the fact that planting in the village does affect the harvest.

It’s going up this year and every year. Can she bear it?

When hazelnuts can be grown on a large scale, prices are expected to soar, and it will be her, the purchaser, who will be hurt. She can't control the general trend, but she can still control it now, but she must control it hard.

It's not cruel, but her wallet is the one that gets hurt.

Fifteen cents was within her acceptable range. Guo Yimin's price was five cents cheaper than what Ding Changhai bought last year. Overall, she didn't suffer.

She doesn't care about the cost of a radio, and Guo Yimin also thinks that she does things with dignity.

He had a hard time with his conscience for not fighting for more for the villagers, but when Jiang Xinyu gave away something like this, his conscience was forgotten.

He shook his head to wake himself up. He would still have to face the doubts of everyone when he returned to the village.
