Farmer's happy event

Chapter 72

Liu Jingren tried hard to persuade him that the child had just stayed at home for one night, and the family of Liu's family would definitely not be willing to run back like this.But let him go home, he will not listen.Liu Jingren had no choice but to drive the carriage, directly sent him back to shopkeeper Zhang's shop, and handed him over to shopkeeper Zhang.

After getting rid of Zhang Zihe, Lianzi breathed a sigh of relief, completely forgetting who just used a shady trick to sell all the remaining persimmons in an instant, so that she could go home quickly.

Don't mention this, anyway, the result is already like this, if you forget it, forget it.

After returning home, Mrs. Yang was surprised to see that they had come back so early.Hearing Lianzi tell the general story of the incident, he laughed and said, "This child".

In fact, Yang Shi quite likes Zhang Zihe.Zhang Zihe has a lively personality. When he met Yang, his small mouth was as sweet as honey, and he was especially good at making people happy.

The autumn peanuts had already been harvested, so Liu Jingren and Yang decided to start harvesting the twenty mu of sweet potatoes from tomorrow.When it comes to looking for help, let's look for those people who planted sweet potatoes back then.

It hasn't rained much recently, and the ground is a bit dry. It takes a little effort to dig the ground with a hoe, so it took five or six days of hard work to harvest the [-] acres of sweet potatoes.

After harvesting the sweet potatoes, Lianzi went to look at the field again, and felt that the situation was better after planting two crops.Therefore, she suggested to Liu Jingren that the [-] acres of land should be left uncultivated this year, and that they should be planted with cobs in the spring of next year, and then planted with winter wheat after harvesting in autumn.

The fact that Lianzi's family had planted [-] acres of sweet potatoes was no secret in the nearby villages, so as soon as the sweet potatoes were harvested, someone would contact them to buy fresh sweet potatoes.

This person wanted to buy sweet potatoes for vermicelli, and the price he offered was reasonable, even higher than the price at the dental store. So Yang and Liu Jingren discussed it and sold the newly harvested [-] acres of sweet potatoes. All sold to this vermicelli.Although the money earned is not much, the most important thing is to maintain the [-] acres of land.But even so, all the money used to buy the land has been earned back, and there is still a surplus.In other words, from next year, those [-] acres of land will be able to make money.

The family has more and more money. Since the last time I saved 400 taels, the family has saved more than 100 taels.Lianzi planned to take out 100 taels first, take some time off, and then go to the bank to deposit with the money she had previously saved.

After harvesting sweet potatoes, this year's farm work is completely over.In the past few days, Yang Shi and Liu Jingren were really tired, and even woke up a lot later in the morning.

Lianzi felt that there was really no need for them to work so hard, so she said to Liu Jingren, "Father, let's hire a permanent worker."

"What?" Liu Jingren asked back, and Lianzi repeated it again, saying, "What do you want the long-term worker to do?"

He has been a farmer for most of his life, and he has always done his own work, so why does he need to hire a long-term worker?Besides, one year's wages are at least six or seven taels of silver.With these six or seven taels of silver, why not do it?
Seeing that Liu Jingren couldn't think about it, Lianzi went to talk to Yang Shi.

"Mom, let's hire a long-term worker."

"Why hire a long-term worker? You can do it again." Yang said.

Lianzi still didn't give up, she was too busy, but it was so tiring.

"No, mother, our family will definitely buy more land in the future, even one or two thousand acres. We will definitely not be able to handle it by then, and we must find someone to do it." Lianzi said, "But Since we are looking for someone to do the work, we need someone to learn it first. In the future, we will either teach others or supervise the work. How can we trust such a person if they are newcomers? So, we need to train them now. "

When Yang heard this, she looked at Lianzi in surprise and said, "What are you talking about? Buying for one thousand mu or two thousand mu? Where can we find some money?"

Lianzi was speechless for a while, after talking for so long, Yang missed the point.

"Money, we will definitely have it slowly." Lianzi had no choice but to say this first.

"That's right, after buying so much land, we are too busy to survive." Yang said.

Finally, it was a little reliable, Lianzi said again: "That's right, so we need to train right-hand assistants now, and teach others how to work efficiently and quickly, and can also supervise the fields for us."

"Well, that's fine," Yang thought for a while, then nodded, "It's just, who should I ask?"

Mrs. Yang is better at talking. Although Liu Jingren has a good temper, sometimes he is too stubborn.

"Mother, aren't Uncle Ping An and Aunt Ping An very good?"

He and his wife worked diligently, did not shirk their laziness at all, and were familiar with each other.The husband and wife have no land in their family, and they usually only rely on Liu Pingan to do some casual work for others to make money, and they can't earn a few taels of silver a year.

The left and right are in the same village, and there is no need to live in Lianzi's house, just go and call when you are free.If it is said that the husband and wife are given 15 taels of silver a year, they must agree.Fifteen taels of silver a year is no more than earning as a casual worker.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with your father." Yang said.

"It's just," she said again, "when it's time to get busy, his husband and wife are too busy."

Lianzi hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry about this, just find a few people to help you when the time comes."

"But," Yang still had concerns, "We hired them to work this year, and it only cost a little more than one tael. Next year, if we do the same job, it will cost 15 taels?"

Lianzi smiled suddenly and said, "Mother, don't worry, I think our family should buy another ten acres of land near the village. This time we will grow vegetables."

"Don't mess around, you won't be able to plant ten acres of vegetables." You can just grow some to eat yourself, and at most two or three acres to take away for sale.If ten acres are planted at once, it will be sold out in the Year of the Monkey.

But Lianzi didn't think so. If he wanted to make money by farming, he had to build a large scale, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to make much money at all.Just ten acres of land is too little for her.It's just that it's only in the experimental stage at present, and it's not certain whether it can produce the effect she wants, so let's try planting ten acres for the time being.

Because it was just an experiment, Lianzi had to visit it from time to time. Therefore, he wanted to buy ten acres of land around the village for the convenience of going there in the future.A hut was built on the ground for Liu Ping'an and his wife to live in. They can not only look at the vegetable field, but also pay attention to the growth of the vegetables in the field.In this way, it is not a waste of more than ten taels of silver a year.

Lianzi shared the idea with Yang. Although Yang disagreed with buying ten acres of land to grow vegetables, she still agreed with Lianzi on the matter of hiring long-term workers.

After discussing with Liu Jingren, he finally agreed to hire a long-term worker.

Mrs. Yang felt sorry for Liu Ping'an and his wife. Two sons died in succession. As a human being, his heart would be crushed.So for them, help if you can.

After dinner in the evening, Yang couldn't wait to go to Liu Ping'an's house, told them about the matter, and asked them what they thought.

When Liu Ping'an and his wife heard that they were only doing some farm work, they would pay 15 taels of silver a year. There was no reason to disagree, so they nodded and agreed.

Mrs. Yang also told them about the situation. Recently, she just did some farm work in the field. After a while, the lotus seeds will grow vegetables, so she asked them to look after the land.

Liu Ping'an and his wife have no reason to disagree. Fifteen taels of silver a year is enough for a family of three to eat, clothe, warm and drink for a year.For a family like theirs, eight or nine taels of silver can solve the problem.Everyone gave 15 taels of silver, so there is no reason to refuse.

Mrs. Yang also returned home happily, and Lianzi knew that there must be no problem.

In the next few days, Lianzi either picked fruits on the mountain, or made preserved fruits and preserves at home.

A few days ago, she made candied raspberries from the picked raspberries, which tasted very good, not inferior to strawberry candied at all.

When sending it to shopkeeper Zhang, Lianzi personally followed and explained the medicinal value of the raspberry in detail.

Shopkeeper Zhang decided to wait until the Chinese New Year to launch the raspberry preserves, hoping to make more money.

Lianzi fully agrees with this approach, and at the same time she finds that shopkeeper Zhang has become more and more good at doing business.The price of raspberries to lotus seeds has reached sixty yuan a catty, but it is much higher than strawberry candied fruit
From Lianzi's point of view, what's even better is that the raspberries are picked from the mountains without spending money, which saves a lot of money.

The few persimmon trees on the mountain are really very productive. Until now, it is mid-September, and persimmons are still ripening every day.

Every evening, Lianzi would go up the mountain with her sister to pick persimmons with a basket on her shoulders.

After the persimmons are picked, they are stored in the cellar, and when a certain amount has been accumulated, they are boiled in hot water, or sold directly for fresh fruit, or made into persimmons.

One day, Lianzi and Guzi had just picked a basket of persimmons and were about to go home. At the bottom of the mountain, they ran into Liu Changsheng from the village.

This Liu Changsheng is the most idle person on weekdays. It is already evening now, and he doesn't know what he is going to do on the mountain.

His family and Liu Ping'an's family are neighbors, and when Lianzi went to Liu Ping'an's house, he would pass by his door.Every time, I could see his daughter-in-law, Zheng Shi, leaning against the door frame with her severely deformed body, talking with acquaintances on the street at the top of her voice.

Lianzi dislikes Zheng Shi very much, not only because she is obese and always has a strange smell that can never be washed off, but also because Zheng Shi and Li Shi are on good terms.

What kind of person Li is, Lianzi knows very well.People who are on good terms with Mrs. Li will naturally not be innocent.

When Lianzi and Guzi saw Liu Changsheng, they walked past him without saying hello.

Liu Changsheng glanced back at them and continued walking up the mountain.

That night, under the dim candlelight, a fat figure clung to a woman's ear and said, "Do you know? I heard from my family that he went to the mountain today. Guess who he saw?"

"Who did you see?" The woman looked very curious.

The short and fat woman said again: "I saw the children in the second room of your family." After she finished speaking, she added, "The eldest and the youngest."

"Oh", the woman lost interest for a moment.Isn't it just seeing two children, what is there to say?She thought she had encountered something new.

"The key is my family, I saw it," the short and fat woman said, and leaned closer to the woman's ear, and said in a low voice.

After she finished speaking, she saw that the woman's interest that had just slipped away returned instantly, and asked, "Really?"

"Is this still fake?" the short and fat woman asked.

The woman said again: "Let me just say, I only heard that her house sells persimmons, but I haven't been to her house to see it. I thought it was grown on my own tree, but I didn't expect it to be picked from the mountain."

"That's right," the short and fat woman agreed, "It's something that doesn't cost money, and it's sold for a lot of money."

The woman nodded, and suddenly said: "Let me tell you, this mountain belongs to everyone, and the tree also belongs to everyone. We can't just let his family take advantage of it."

"Isn't that what's going on?" the short and fat woman said kindly, "If you want me to tell you, we might as well move the tree to our own home, pick it whenever we want, and sell it whatever we want. You say what, girl?"

The woman patted the short and fat woman's hand and said, "That's the reason."

She lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "That old woman in my family keeps her money tightly controlled, and anyone else's money will be taken away. Why don't we move the tree to your yard and watch it at home, and if you sell it at that time Money, how about we open fifty-five?"

"Okay, tomorrow morning, before dawn, I'll ask my family to move the tree and plant it in my yard." The short, fat woman said.

"Okay," the woman said, "That's the deal."

After that, the door opened with a creak, and a slightly thin gray-blue figure walked into the moonlight.
