Chapter 6 6. Don’t imitate pig braying
Song Tan was really shocked.
“Is our family so rich?”
It is both mountains and fields.
“What kind of money do you have?” Wu Lan didn’t even raise his head: “It’s all passed down from your grandfather. The barren mountains and ridges cannot be sold and no one will take care of them, so they are left uncultivated!”
Song Tan was silent.
The entire village now has less than thirty households in total, and the average age is forty or fifty. Food is not valuable now, so they can only make ends meet. So not only their house, but also other people's houses are mostly deserted.
There is no other reason than insufficient labor.
There are many mountains here, and large agricultural machinery cannot be used. Small ones need to be paid for at your own expense, which is expensive. You can’t even save the cost of one acre of land in a year. In addition, the road is winding and there is nothing to sell outside.
I grow rice and wheat for my own food. It takes a hard year to irrigate, fertilize, and kill insects and weeds, which is a lot of money.
What about the harvest?
When the labor force is not enough, we have to collect food from our own family.
Looking back, I saw that a pound is more than 2 yuan per kilogram in the supermarket in the town. Although the taste is not that good, you don’t have to work hard, and the money spent is much less!
It is better to leave it alone.
If you really want to make money, you have to go out and work after finishing your busy work in the first half of every year!
For example, Wu Lan went to a shoe factory last year to wear shoelaces and earned 6,000 a month. He worked there until the Chinese New Year before going home.
The year before last, it was Song Sancheng who went to work on the construction site of the Imperial Capital for 400 a day. After working for three months, he earned more than 30,000 and lost more than ten kilograms. He came back to recuperate for more than half a month.
After all, they are old too!
Song Tan felt sad in her heart. At this moment, she promised: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life!"
Ulan did not hit her at all, He just asked back: "If you can do it, I will take care of the fields and hills at home for you, just leave a vegetable plot and don't waste it."
"I want you to see what it means to endure hardship."
"But you are working on mountains and fields. It's already the end of February. What are you going to plant in spring?"
Song Tan:...
This, she really didn’t think about this well!
It’s been a long time since I’ve traveled back in time, but I haven’t achieved any results yet. Isn’t everything you plant in vain?
But facing Ulan's intimidating eyes, Song Tan decisively changed his words:
"Mom, don't worry, when have I ever done anything I was unsure about since I was a child?"
That's true, My daughter has always been well-behaved and sensible - except this time.
Ulan said "hmm" and waited for the next step.
Just listen to Song Tan say: "In this case, let Dad rent some machines tomorrow and turn over all the empty fields."
"I won't move on the ones where we grow things."
"I also have arrangements for a few hills, but I need people to dig the mountains. The machine can't go up - Mom, just hire people and I'll do it. "Pay." Ten thousand yuan, so take it easy, otherwise our family won’t have enough capital to support you.”
Song Tan’s expression cracked—why was she so obedient before? All deposits must be reported, mama!
Song Qiao, who had finished cleaning the kitchen, ran in with red hands, which made Ulan angry again: "How many times have I told you to use hot water in winter! Why are you disobedient?"
The two of them have intentions. Song Qiao was trained and housework was taught little by little, just for fear that one day... But Song Qiao didn't know how to take care of his body, and the process of practice was also full of depression.
For example, at this moment, Song Qiao ignored her and just leaned next to Song Tan: "Sister, I want to see Peppa Pig! Mom won't let me see it!"
< br>Ouch!
Who can refuse such a big baby!
Song Tan immediately took out her mobile phone: "Come on, let's——"
She was stuck.
The phone he took out had cracks all over it, as if it was dancing on the edge of being scrapped——
Ulan looked at his thousand-yuan phone and suddenly felt sad. .
"It's hard for you outside, Mom knows, but there is no shortage of things for you at home, so don't be too frugal."
For a while, he softened his voice: "If you want to farm, just farm well. If you don't have anything else at home, there is plenty of land." , whatever you want is up to you."
He turned around and took out his mobile phone and transferred two thousand yuan to her: "I'll go to town tomorrow and buy a new one."
< br>Song Tan blinked in confusion and looked at his phone again - unexpected surprise, hahaha!
However, the next moment, Song Qiao was heard making a "hum hum" sound next to him, looking at the two of them while making the sound.
At this moment, Wu Lan could no longer feel soft in his heart, and roared:
"Song Qiaoqiao! I told you that if you ever imitate that pig cry, you are not allowed to watch TV!"
… …
In the silent night, Song Tan finally had the opportunity to try to induce spiritual energy.
Aura stars are dotted, slowly surging with the wind in the quiet village on a winter night.
Along with the movement of her mind, the spiritual energy that ordinary people can't see like fireflies slowly gathered one by one.
Just like the sweet rain nourishing her weak body that was riddled with holes and escaping from death, it tempered her body...
Finally, when the sky turned white, those things that were already in the process of operation The increasingly rich spiritual energy was absorbed into Song Tan's dantian.
At this moment, her whole body was filled with sticky black impurities, and the smell in the room became more and more intoxicating.
Song Tan had no choice but to sneak into the bathroom like a thief again - thanks to the new rural area, although she is not so afraid of the cold now, she still has to say: the water heater is awesome!
But the bad thing was that it was too difficult to scrub away the dirt on his body, so after taking a bath, not only was the hot water gone, but Wu Lan also woke up.
Taking a shower in the morning in winter, and the water heater has run out of hot water and used cold water? !
It’s so frustrating!
In an instant, the whole family got up - Qiao Qiao cooked ginger soup, Song Sancheng burned the stove, and Wu Lan quickly stewed water on the stove again, making sure not to let her catch the cold!
When she finally walked onto the street, the fairy Song Tan was wrapped in an old military coat and a grandmother's woolen hat, and then she was allowed to sit on the back seat of the motorcycle.
It was difficult to start the motorcycle in winter. Song Sancheng stepped on the lighter pole in front of her, making a loud bang. Behind her back, she was planning what to do today——
First, go to the town police station to apply for an ID card.
Thankfully, because everyone pays by mobile phone these days, she didn’t have her card with her when she was in a car accident, which saved a lot of trouble.
Then buy a new mobile phone.
After these two most important things are done, the next step is to buy some farm tools, fertilizers, and the most important thing-seeds.
As for what seeds to buy, Song Tan already had an idea in mind.
At this moment, she was sitting on the motorcycle, looking at the long mountains she had just climbed, and then at the red sun rising in the sky, and she felt filled with pride:
"Dad ! Soon, I will make our village more beautiful! Our life will be better!"
Song Sancheng was riding in front and said loudly: "Tan Tan, your 60,000 yuan will be better! It’s only 1 yuan, but you can spend it while you’re at it.”
In the past, the hot water capacity of the electric water heater in the rental house was not large, so it was very stressful to wash my hair in the winter... What should Tantan plant first? Can you guess it?
