The real daughter took the whole family to farm

Chapter 25
Longjiang County is in the subtropical zone, and Damao Village is in the southernmost part of Longjiang County, close to the tropics. It can be said that the climate, precipitation and light are very suitable for planting, which is why the nearby counties can be used as inorganic breeding bases.

Damao Village was originally a famous food producing area nearby, but in recent years, the labor force in the village has gradually moved to the city.

After young people go out to study, few are willing to return to the village to engage in heavy and unprofitable agricultural activities.

In the village, there were mostly middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old and left-behind children in the village.

In fact, it’s not the young people’s fault. They themselves don’t want to come back, and the elders in the family also feel that they should not come back to farm after decades of studying hard.

It's not that they dislike the hard work of farming, but that in today's society with soaring prices, farming simply cannot support a family.

Unlike the vast plains in the northeast, the land here is mostly hilly or mountainous, which limits the large-scale use of farming machines. If it is all manual, the efficiency of farming will be much lower.

Besides, although the country has been encouraging farming in recent years, there are a lot of policy support, such as exemption from agricultural tax, and even subsidies for farming.

However, these subsidies are far from the cost of the rising prices of seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides, and they are not worthwhile at all, even when farmers do not count their own labor costs.

Besides, farming is a job that depends on the sky and eats. If there are one or two natural disasters and man-made disasters, the hard work of the past half a year may be in vain.

The cost of farming is constantly increasing, but the price of grain purchased by the grain dealers has not seen any increase. Of course, the enthusiasm of the villagers for farming has been hit hard.

"The weather is finally not so hot."

There are more than a dozen villagers sitting under the big banyan tree at the head of Damao Village.

Early rice starts to be harvested at the end of July, and at the beginning of August, even the latest households have finished harvesting. The late rice is only harvested in September, and everyone is very idle now.

Now everyone has nothing to do in farming, and there is nothing to do in the village during the slack season. The village cadres strictly control things like gambling/gambling, even small gambling is not allowed.

The village is full of middle-aged and elderly people and children, who stay at home all day and are afraid of getting sick, so the village cadres like to encourage everyone to come out to chat and exchange feelings.

The villagers like and are used to chatting together under the big banyan tree. One or two of them are more diligent, and they are still playing with some things in their hands. If you look closely, they are some bamboo gadgets.

The old village chief gently shook the futon in his hand, feeling the coolness brought by the fan.

The center of the villagers' discussion is the Li family who came here two months ago, especially the little girl Li Nianmian.

"Oh, the little girl is really amazing now, she is very capable at such a young age. Look at her, she is a few years younger than my grandson, and she can do such a big thing by herself." A gray-haired grandma sighed with emotion.

The old man also interjected: "Isn't it. I thought the young man was just for fun, but I didn't expect him to actually make it."

At this moment, a villager saw Tang Laosan who was about to go up the mountain on a motorcycle, and quickly stopped him: "Third Brother, where are you going?"

Tang Laosan was an orchard worker hired by Li Nianmian. He stopped his motorcycle, walked over with a limp, and smiled honestly: "There is no soy sauce on the mountain. I want to buy a bottle to go up."

Tang Laosan's family all lived in the village, and they just went to work on the mountain on time, but because sometimes they wanted to be convenient, and sometimes they wanted to be cool, they occasionally lived on the mountain.

A simple small yard was also built on the hill of the orchard, just to make it convenient for the workers to occasionally spend the night on it.

"How does it feel to work on the mountain?" A villager patted the empty stone bench beside him and motioned Tang Laosan to sit down.

The villagers felt a little hot, so they put the futons at hand on them.

Tang Laosan was not too polite, and sat up on his buttocks: "Okay, staying on the mountain is more comfortable than staying in the village, and it's not far away. I just feel that the air is much fresher."

"The little boss is a nice person. He doesn't take care of much and doesn't give pointers. The work is similar to farming as usual, and the little boss doesn't care about us after finishing the work."

There are also three pigs raised in the pigsty in Tang Laosan Village, and they still have time to feed the pigs for three meals a day.

"Every day I just look at the fruit trees, look at the herbs, grow vegetables, and feed the chickens. Hey, the vegetables and chickens on the mountain are really delicious."

The little boss is a nice person. You can eat the melons, fruits and vegetables at home, and even the chickens you raise at will.He also said that after the herbal medicine is ready, give them some seeds and let them try it in their own fields.

The four members of Tang Laosan's family are all hard-working people, and Li Nianmian directly recruited all of them, not to mention the other three, even his slightly mentally handicapped elder son has a salary.

Someone asked curiously: "Your family all work there, how is it? Do you have this amount of monthly salary?" He stretched out two fingers and gestured.

Tang Laosan smiled mysteriously, a mysterious smile appeared on his dark face that was too old for his age, and he did not speak.

Everyone smiled knowingly and knew what it meant, so it was more than that.

Everyone laughed in amazement and envy.

In the village, food and lodging don't cost much, and now Tang Laosan's family doesn't have any children studying.

Wow, then Tang Laosan's family of four can save at least [-] yuan in a month.

For a while, everyone booed enviously, but no one was jealous.

Tang Laosan is a well-known impoverished household in Damao Village. It's not that their family is lazy, but that their lives are miserable.

Tang Laosan is the youngest son in the family, but because of polio, he is crippled in one leg and is rejected by his parents.

After his parents went to the city to work and settle down, they brought his two elder brothers to the city and left him alone at home to take care of the two old people.

Tang Laosan's parents are not a thing either. They sent some money back a few years ago, but they stopped sending money when Tang Laosan was 14 years old. They even thought about not giving the elderly pension money and letting Tang Laosan replace them Raising grandparents.

Under the intervention of the village committee, Tang Laosan's parents only gave him 200 yuan a month as pension money, and they were unwilling to pay any more.Every time the village cadres were in a hurry, they would take their two children back to their hometown and slap and roll in front of the old man, saying that the old man wanted to force the other two children to death.

What can the two old people do, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, Tang Laosan is his own grandson, and the other two didn't pick them up, besides, both the parents have expressed their position on this, and they are determined not to raise this child.

The old couple can only be with Tang Laosan, oh, Tang Xiaosan was still dependent on each other at that time.

200 yuan, two elderly people and one child.

Tang Laosan didn't even want to go out to work, after all, there were two elderly people at home.

What to do, he could only grow up stumblingly with the help of the villagers, and sent two old people away.
