Chapter 286 Let's Stop Raising Pigs Next Year

Under the dim light of kerosene lamps, the family sat around the brazier. Lu took out the money from selling live pigs today and put them on the table beside him, "This year is lucky, the pigs raised by our family are better than those raised by other people in the village." Well, the price of live pigs is still the same as last year. A hundred catties of live pigs sell for two taels of silver. Each of the pigs we sold this year weighed more than 300 catties, and the total weight of live pigs was 1300 catties, so this year we earned 26 taels by raising pigs. silver!"

In the past few years, it was not bad to be able to sell 18 taels of silver a year.

After turning so much now, Lu is very satisfied.

Han Yunwen and his brothers suddenly felt that this year's hard work and hard work have not been in vain.

However, Shen Qing felt that raising pigs to earn money was not worthwhile. Thinking about selling navel oranges and tangerines, they sold them for 150 taels of silver at once.Instead of working hard to raise pigs, it is better to concentrate on planting fruit trees, at least the profits of fruit trees are better than raising pigs.

Moreover, traders treat their Baoyan Village differently. The price of live pigs in other villages seems to be 3 taels of silver for a hundred catties of live pigs.Forcibly missing a tael of silver is really not worth it!

After putting away the 26 taels of silver, Lu leaned back on the chair, took a deep look at her three sons, and said, "We won't raise pigs next year, boss, after the second child is over, you will still follow the second child." Uncle goes to work in Fucheng to earn more money! Especially you, the second child, you are a carpenter, we can't lose this job, try to get back to your old job as soon as possible!
You brothers have to work hard for another year, first save money for a year, and then prepare a good girl for you, we Wangjiang County can't find a suitable girl who is willing to marry you, so go to Fucheng!As long as you are diligent and honest, and can earn money, there are still girls willing to marry you!Mother actually wanted to hug her grandson a long time ago! "

"Mother, don't worry about my eldest brother and I marrying a daughter-in-law. When the fate comes, it will happen naturally!" Han Yunqiao is not in a hurry to get married and have children. One is that the family is too poor to give the future daughter-in-law a stable and happy life. .The second reason is because of my third younger brother. Although there has been no unlucky and tragic events in the past few months, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?In the end, he really had no intention of getting married and having children!
Mrs. Lu sighed slightly: "You brothers are not young anymore, it's time to get married and have children! It's just that our family is too poor, so we can't marry you a good wife, so we can only wrong you brothers and wait a little longer!"

Han Yunjing lowered his head silently, feeling extremely guilty and remorseful.

The eldest brother and the second brother couldn't get a wife because of themselves.

The girls in the village disliked him for being a broom star, and they were afraid that he would kill him when they married.

Although the eldest brother and the second brother never blamed himself, he could not forgive himself.

Fortunately, she has sister Qinger as a lucky star, because of sister Qinger, the bad luck that has caused him pain and troubles for nine years has finally settled down. As long as sister Qinger doesn't leave her, the eldest brother and the second brother don't have to worry about not being able to marry a wife .

"As for Yunjing? Mother has thought about it. After the Chinese New Year, I will send you to the school to study and read! None of our family holds a pen holder, they are all old farmers! You just give mother, elder brother, and second elder brother a fight, and you must study hard. , try to get someone to come back! Let’s forget about our village school and county school, mother thinks of a way, let you also go to the school in Baoning County to learn and read!

Mother took Qing'er to rent a house in Baoning County, start a small business, and just be able to support the family!Take care of you by the way!As for your father?Bring it too!But he must be tied up at home like he is now, and he must not be allowed to go out.From now on, Qing'er, I will just stay at home and stare at your father!
