——
After several days of work, all the cherries in the cherry forest have been sold out.
Zhang An also took advantage of this opportunity to sell many cherries in the space.
With an income of several hundred yuan a day, Wang Fang is very happy every day.
But after the second day of picking the cherries, there was nothing left to sell. Wang Fang felt empty and worried about gains and losses.
But I quickly adjusted and now my life at home is much better than before.
At noon, a tractor came to the village.
"Thud~thud~thud~" came down from the stone pass and stopped on the drying ground.
There is also a loudspeaker on the car shouting, "There are corns and millets for sale, millet and rapeseeds for sale."
"His father, the grain harvesters are here, let's You should also sell the corn at home, otherwise there will be no place to put it when the fields are recovered this season. "
Wang Fang heard the shouting from the trumpet and said to Zhang Jianguo in the house.
"Okay, I'll ask you what the price of corn this year is. If it's suitable, I'll sell it."
After Zhang Jianguo finished speaking, he went out to the drying field.
Zhang An now has about two thousand kilograms of corns in his house, all dried in the sun, and there is a warehouse full of them.
The house originally had four rooms, but now two of them are used to store food.
Soon, Zhang An saw his father coming back, bringing with him a man about the same age as him.
This man is a grain dealer, and he has been reselling grain for the past few years.
It is said that in the past, a horse-drawn carriage was used to collect goods everywhere. After the house was collected, it was replaced by a tractor.
The family also built a big house.
After Zhang Jianguo went out to inquire about the price, the person in front of him now paid sixty-five yuan for one hundred catties.
Compared to last year, the price has increased by almost several yuan, which is the highest in recent years.
Of course, this is definitely not the highest price. People who collect grain also have to make some money.
And there must be a reason why the price is so high. Either the market demand is huge, or the overall production has been reduced this year.
Finally, the grain seller took a look at Zhang An’s corn and felt very satisfied.
Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang were very happy for the extra two cents. In the end, they kept one or two hundred kilograms and sold the rest.
This made the grain dealer very happy. He originally planned to take a long time to receive a cart.
Now Zhang An’s family alone has collected more than two thousand kilograms.
He drove the tractor to the door of Zhang An's house and started weighing it.
Everyone attaches great importance to this aspect, because the grain seller brought his own scale, and Zhang An’s family had a steel scale.
Finally, Zhang An suggested that he take out a bag of corn and weigh it on two scales to see how big the difference is.
If the difference is large, then there must be something wrong with someone's scale. If the difference is not much, a few taels or so is normal.
After the final weighing, the difference was not much, about one to two taels, so there weren’t that many problems.
Just use the grain dealer's scale to weigh it, because the scale is convenient.
In the end, all the two thousand kilograms of corn were sold, and Wang Fang had more than a thousand yuan in her hands, which made her very happy again.
Other families in the village probably harvest about two thousand kilograms of corn every year, but no one sells them all like Zhang An’s family.
Some families have livestock because they are there. Even if there are no livestock, they may plan to raise pigs and must keep some.
But I am happy, I am busy from beginning to end for a year, even if I sell all the rice in Zhang An's family, I will only get an extra thousand yuan at most.
The total annual income is more than 2,000 yuan, and it is still two people busy. Apart from the cost, there is really not much.
After all, I have a lot of cash at home during this time.
And Chen Ze would come to get fish every once in a while, always spending generous amounts.
I heard from him that his old man especially likes to eat the fish raised by Zhang An’s family.
After he came here for the second time, he brought some yellow bone fish back, and the old man also liked it.
So he asked Zhang An to find a way to get some and raise them like the fine-scaled fish.
Anyway, you have the aura of a wealthy person when you speak. Money is not an issue. All you need to do is develop this technology and raise the yellow bone fish like the thin-scaled fish.
How difficult is this? Just release it directly from space.
Wang Fang took out the cash at home, including the 5,000 that Zhang An took back last time. Now there is 13,000 in cash at home.
Mainly the five thousand yuan that Zhang An brought back last time and the money from selling cherries this time accounted for most of it.
"Xiao An, just keep two thousand yuan at home. You can take the rest to the town and save it. It's not safe to keep it at home."
Hearing what his mother said, Zhang An He took the money in his hand, packed it up, and drove to town.
It is relatively rare for an individual to save more than 10,000 yuan at a time in Hongyan Town.
So the bank counter had a very good attitude toward Zhang An and quickly handled the matter for Zhang An.
Remembering that Zhou Lan told him last year that he would give them some cherries this year, Zhang An then remembered that the cherries in the cherry forest at home had been sold out, so he had to move a basket out of the space and bring it to them. Go to his house.
"A rare guest, Zhang An, I haven't seen you in town recently."
Seeing Zhang An coming, Zhou Lan joked a few words.
Li Yao has already gone to first grade, Li Hongbin should have gone to the construction site, and Zhou Lan is the only one at home.
"I'm busy during this period. I collect rapeseed at home, and then plow the fields and transplant rice seedlings. It takes three or four days for the cherries to be sold in the county before they are ripe."
"The cherries are ripe this year? I remember they were fine last year. You only sell them when it's late." "I've been at home this year. I came home late last year, so I kept them until so late. Now that the cherries at home are sold out, I just keep this basket for your family. ”
After Zhang An finished speaking, he took the basket of cherries in the car to her home.
“There’s only this little left, how much did you sell for it.”
Zhou Lan estimated that the basket only weighed forty or fifty kilograms.
“These cherries are good, so they sell quickly. I didn’t expect them to sell so fast.”
“Is it the cherry forest next to your house? I looked at it and saw it. Less.”
When Zhou Lan went to Zhang An’s house this year, the cherry trees had grown to two meters high.
"Yes, there are more than twenty trees there. Anyway, these are the only ones left. If I hadn't reacted and left a basket, they would have been gone. If they were all sold out, then Li Yao It’s my fault.”
Zhou Zhou gave Zhang An a glass of water, then took three hundred yuan from Fang's house and handed it to Zhang An.
"Come on, I won't accept the money. This is for my godson to eat, not for you. Why do you give me the money?"
It doesn't matter if we didn't have this relationship last year. Zhang An felt it was unjustifiable for the two families to accept money now that they had such a relationship.
No matter what Zhou Lan said, Zhang An just refused to accept it.
Now my family is not short of these few hundred yuan, so I can spend more money.
After sitting at Zhou Lan's house for a while, Zhang An got up and left.
Otherwise, when Li Yao comes back later, he will cry and make trouble to go to Changqing to play.
This guy was a lawless master without Zhou Lan, so Zhang An chose not to provoke him.
When Zhang An arrived home, Wang Fang was drying rapeseed on the grain drying field, and three dogs were helping to catch the birds in the sky.
Because there are more fish in the river, there are more birds in the sky.
There was a group of people hanging out on the drying ground, which made Zhang An angry.
I thought: Just wait for me. Then I will get a kite to raise at home, and then I will deal with you flat-haired beasts.
The kite is the sparrow hawk in the mountains, a bird that does not fly south in winter.
Belongs to the more fierce master in the air.
I already have three dogs, and I often go up the mountain to chase rabbits.
The family doesn’t care about getting more kites to raise.
While Zhang An was in town selling cherries for a few days, Zhang Jianguo went to the fields to plow his own land.
After loading some soaked farmyard manure into the ground, we will start sowing corn.
In previous years, my family had no livestock and had to borrow other people’s livestock to plow the land.
So you have to wait until others have finished plowing before you can borrow it yourself.
Not many families have livestock at this time. Sometimes there are several families waiting to borrow a family's cattle, and they have to queue up if they arrive late.
After having Dahei at home this year, it is not only convenient for me, but I can go plowing whenever I want.
And the uncles and neighbors who have good relations with each other are also a little more relaxed.
After all, if there is one more animal in the village, there will be less pressure to queue.
There are small patches of mountainous land in the village. They are in rocky areas. You don’t need animals to plow them. You can just dig holes and plant them.
But if large areas of mountainous land are not plowed by livestock, by the time the weeding and loosening of the corn are done, the land will be hardened and cannot be dug up.
When he came to his own land, Zhang An was responsible for making nests. He took a hoe and started digging small holes for sowing corn in better land.
In order for adults to grow their crops to look good, they also require them to be neat and parallel when making nests.
Zhang An’s father, Zhang Jianguo, was carrying a dung basket behind him, which contained burnt rapeseed stalks and plant ash mixed with farmyard manure.
After placing these, start placing corn seeds.
Put two or three seeds in each hole, so that if the seeds are good, they will all grow, and when the time comes to weed, the short and redundant seedlings will be pulled out.
If no seeds sprout in some pits, you can also transplant seedlings from other nests to replenish the seedlings.
The three have a clear division of labor. Zhang An makes the nest, Zhang An's father Zhang Jianguo spreads the fertilizer, and Zhang An's mother Wang Fang sows the seeds.
After finishing the work, start covering the soil, and just like that, the corn on the field is finished.
It is easy to say, but it still requires patience to do it, and this work is also tiring, and you have to bend down to work.
It took two or three days for the Zhang An family to finish planting all their corn. They could rest, but the big black horse had to continue working.
Because several uncles’ families are waiting for it.
Everyone has been busy planting seeds these days, because spring is about to end.
Everyone should seize the tail of spring and plant crops.
It is not suitable to sow seeds after summer, either because the temperature is too high or there are heavy rains.
It cannot provide a good environment for seeds to germinate.
On a summer day, the face of a child cries and makes trouble whenever he wants.
After lunch, Zhang An sat under a tree to enjoy the shade. After a while, the sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, suddenly turned dark.
This is the rhythm of heavy rain soon. People who are drying rapeseed in the drying field are now trying their best to collect their own rapeseed.
If the rapeseeds are exposed to rain, some will germinate and some will become moldy, but in the end none of them will be sold.
This is why people usually need to keep people guarding them when drying things, not only to prevent birds, but also to cope with sudden changes in weather
