Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 33 Convincing Father (Please subscribe!)
When Li Shankui returned home, Li Yi had just sent Dongzi and the others away.

Seeing two bottles of good sorghum wine on the cabinet, Li Shankui frowned and asked, "You didn't go to see your Uncle Feng today?"

"I went, and the land was approved!" Li Yi replied.

"Then you didn't give anyone a drink?"

"I gave it away, but no one wanted it, and they still said it."

"What else?"

"Uncle Feng also said he was afraid that you would break his legs!"

"You kid can be so careless. Why should I cause trouble when someone gives you land, just because of two bottles of wine?" Li Shankui rolled his eyes at his son and said.

"The wine is a trivial matter, the main thing is that Uncle Feng granted me the land at the east end of the village!"

"Is there a homestead at the east end of the village? Why didn't I know?" Li Shankui said doubtfully.

"Yes, it's that black stone land!"

Hearing Li Yi's words, Li Shankui stopped smoking immediately, and then said in a deep voice: "Which piece of land are you talking about that cannot be planted with anything?"

"Well, that's the land!"

"How can I get that piece of land? If I get the back house, I can't plant anything in the front and back. No, I'll go find him. Isn't this bullying?"

Seeing that his grumpy father was about to run away again, Li Yi immediately stepped forward to stop him and said: "Dad, calm down, Uncle Feng is not to blame for this!"

"He is the branch secretary. If you don't blame him, who should you blame?"

"It's my fault. I strongly asked Uncle Feng to grant me the land!" Li Yi said truthfully.

"You still make strong demands?" Li Shankui pointed at Li Yi and said with a look of disbelief.

"Yes, I strongly requested Uncle Feng to grant me the land. It won't work if I don't grant it!"

"I, you loser, what do you want with that barren land?"

Seeing his father's bad temper rising again, Li Yi hurriedly said: "Dad, my dear father, can you listen to me? There is a reason for me to do this!"

"There's no reason for that. I think you're just a fool of lard."

At this time, Li Na happened to come back from the educated youth center. She heard her father yelling and cursing from a distance, and immediately came in to ask what happened!
Although Li Shankui had a bad temper, he was still very kind to his third daughter. He immediately said: "Third son, this prodigal son actually asked your Uncle Feng for the black stone land at the east end of the village as a homestead. Isn't this nonsense!"

She glanced at Li Yi and frowned.

Everyone in the village knew about the situation on the black stone field, but Li Na didn't believe that her younger brother didn't know.

What's more, with the relationship between Uncle Feng and his father, even if the younger brother doesn't know, he will make it clear.

"Xiao Yi, tell Third Sister, what do you think?"

Seeing the third sister beside him, Li Yi knew that his father's temper should be controlled a little, and he would also have a chance to explain!
"Dad, I know the situation in the black stone land. Except that you can't grow anything, there's nothing else wrong with it!" Li Yi said.

"It's already troublesome enough that we can't grow anything. What else do you want?" Li Shankui asked.

"Dad, do you know how big a piece of land Uncle Feng approved for me?"

"How big?"

"Three acres of land!"

Li Shankui glanced at him dissatisfied, and then said: "It's not small, but it can't even grow a potato seed, so what's the use of it no matter how big it is!"

"It's very useful!"

Then Li Yi continued: "Dad, I begged Uncle Feng to grant me the land, mainly because the land is big enough. I plan to set up a breeding farm there in the future. There is no place!" Field, what do you want to raise?"

Li Shankui was shocked by his son's unbridled ideas. These days, although the commune members don't care much about raising livestock at home, unlike in previous years, a family was only allowed to raise three chickens, pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, mules and donkeys. Not allowed to be raised.

But it just turned a blind eye and did not really let go of the restrictions.

Raising some chickens secretly and then raising a pig is already frightening, but my son actually wants to build the farm in a big way. Isn't this an obvious way to catch people's pigtails?
"Dad, I know what you are always worried about, but now the policy has changed!"

Then Li Yi said again: "Now in Anhui Province, the household responsibility system has been implemented for more than two years, and the household responsibility system has been implemented as a pilot project in some provinces. It will be up to us whether we can have enough to eat by then. !”

"Then you should ask for some good land so that you can get more food by then!" Li Shankui said.

"Dad, you can definitely starve to death by digging food from the ground, but you can't make a fortune either! With your son's ability to make money, do you still think I will farm for food in the future?"

After hearing his son's words, Li Shankui fell silent.

If Li Yi had said this to him before, he would have picked up the soles of his shoes and whipped him hard.

But since he and Li Na helped out at a stall last time, Li Shankui was shocked.

In less than half a day, my son sold mountain goods to take away and set up a stall to sell cold noodles, earning half a year's salary as a regular worker.

If it were old farmers like them who dug two ridges, they might not be able to earn that much money in two years.

Therefore, Li Shankui believed Li Yi when he said that he would not farm for food rations in the future.

Seeing that his father seemed to be persuaded by him, Li Yi continued: "Dad, I want that black stone land not only because I want to build a big house, but also when the policy allows it in the future, I will build a breeding farm there. , this is to prepare for future planning, not just a whim!"

Li Na looked at Li Yi, and then said: "Can you make money by working on a breeding farm?"

"can!"

Li Yi said it categorically, but he knew that with the recognition of the private ownership economy, the entire country's economy would be on the fast track.

In just a few decades, the economic level of the entire country will change from looking up to the West to looking down on the world.

In such an environment, people's demand for meat will show explosive growth. In the next few decades, the breeding industry will be profitable most of the time.

"If this is the case, I agree with Xiaoyi's decision!" Li Na said.

Li Shankui was a little confused. Did I ask for your opinion? What's the use of your approval!
But he also had to seriously think about what his son just said. If his son could peacefully be a farmer, it would be nice to have some fertile land for cultivation.

However, the son’s ambition is obviously not to be an honest and hard-working farmer, so giving him the entire black land in the Northeast will be of no use!
In this way, the black stone would be more useful to him!

Thinking of this, Li Shankui could only sigh and said: "I have said what needs to be said. I hope you won't regret it in the future!"

"I don't regret it, I definitely don't regret it!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Well, now that you've decided, when are you going to start construction!" Li Shankui asked again.

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "Dad, the sooner the better! After all, what we want to build is soft on the inside and hard on the outside (the inside is made of adobe and the outside is covered with bricks). The adobe needs to be removed in advance. At least one person can use it from removing to drying. Week!"

"In addition to preparing other materials, we also need to hire a master carpenter and bricklayer. Don't rush there if you're late!"

Li Shankui nodded and said, "Then I'll find someone tomorrow. It just so happens that farm work is not too busy during this period, so it should be easier to hire someone!"

"Well, I'll leave this matter to dad!"

Then Li Yi gave all the more than 600 yuan he had saved during this period to Li Shankui and asked him to use it to build a house.

And Li Shankui was not polite and directly collected the money!
