Chapter 109 109. Doing charity and accumulating merit
When Zhang Wang’s family just proposed about Baoshan, they didn’t mention the money. They clearly meant it was lower than the market price or simply meant to get it for two bucks.
Song Tan accepted his love.
What he just said about entrusting his mountain land to Song Tan was the slope below his house, which happened to be connected to the wasteland in the back mountain.
About twenty acres, which is one-sixth of this bowl-shaped mountain range. The mountains and forests are certainly not as good as the fields, but the Zhang Wang family is very capable. This mountainous area is full of kudzu, and they can also make money.
Kudzu was not planted intentionally in the first place.
It’s just that there are a lot of kudzu vines growing in this mountain forest. Aunt Zhang was clever and dug out one or two hundred kilograms of kudzu powder one winter and dried out more than ten kilograms of kudzu powder. In addition to giving it to the children, she also earned the rest. 1,800 yuan.
The next year, the couple deliberately cleared the land and buried more fertilizer to allow these wild kudzu roots to take root and spread quickly.
Now every winter, the couple can make tens of thousands of dollars from this.
Ten thousand pieces may not sound like a lot, but the advantage is that it costs nothing! Just put in the effort.
If you want to make money on this mountain, you have to invest a lot in the early stage, which is not cost-effective for the villagers.
So the two interplanted some beans, watermelons, peanuts and the like. The harvest was really average, but relying on these, it was not a problem to earn another two to three thousand yuan.
Therefore, the old couple did not go out to work anymore, but peacefully took care of the family fields.
Now in early April, the green leaves of the kudzu vine are sprouting. It is not a good time to dig kudzu. It is only suitable when winter comes.
Moreover, digging kudzu and clearing mountains and forests is not in time for the good farming season. Therefore, neither of them mentioned anything about Baoshan now.
But because of this consideration, Song Tan gave her suggestions and sincerity:
"Uncle Zhang, you can't just take the money away. Let me tell you, hold this money firmly in your hands first." , don’t give anything to your children.”
“When you feel it’s time, donate it directly. Donations cannot be recovered. We will be blessed in the next life.”
There will be no afterlife. Song Tan is a cultivator of immortality, not of the Netherworld. Now that the spiritual energy here is pitifully thin, she can't say for sure.
But for the Zhang Wang family, spiritual sustenance is stronger than anything else!
At this moment, he really reacted: "Yes, yes! I donated everything in your aunt's name. I will accumulate blessings for her! Let her live a good life in the next life!"
His expression is visible to the naked eye. Appreciation:
“You young people are still more educated and know more.”
I turned around and thought of another worry: “What if I have an accident?”
Who can say this accurately?
If he is found to be ill, he can make arrangements for his funeral when he has time. But if you encounter a natural or man-made disaster, such as falling on the ground or something...
I have thought about it in such detail. I think the Zhang Wang family has really thought about it thoroughly. .
I also thought about how people went to the town to ask about the policy of severing ties...
Song Tan also answered seriously: "Then I will take you to the city when I have time, and we will make an appointment with a lawyer to write a letter. A will. Then, spend a few hundred yuan to get it notarized.”
“How will you arrange your affairs after your death? How will you arrange the money? Before the national law, your biological children. I can’t catch him back.”
This was the first time that the Zhang Wang family heard something so detailed. At this moment, they just looked relieved: "Okay, okay, let's do it!"
After thinking about it, he said: "Don't worry, I'll ask a lawyer to do it then." Write something like that, if something happens to me while I’m working for you, no one is allowed to extort money!”
Seeing that the other person’s back was much straighter, he felt very energetic now. Went home. Song Tan sighed, looked at the barren mountain that had almost been cleaned up, and let out a sigh of relief——
There are really too many things at home, and now someone can do it It felt like a lot of burdens had been lifted off of me all at once.
But Song Sancheng was a little hesitant: "Tantan, didn't you discuss with your grandpa Li not to give him a salary and ask him to show us the rice fields?"
"Here, your uncle Zhang gave it to us again. Two thousand, do you have to tell him to hide it and don’t tell anyone?”
Song Tan laughed: “No, Dad”
That’s what Zhang Wang’s family wanted. If you say this and tell him to hide it, what's the point of his job? Might as well go out and work.
“We have so much work to do, we have to find some reliable people to do it. Let us know about the salary first, so that others won’t have to ask for more, which is inappropriate and hurt their feelings.”
When working in the village, even if these short-term workers earn one or two hundred yuan a day, when it comes to long-term and stable wages, two thousand yuan is just about the same.
After all, farm work should be done when you have it, and you can put it off if you don’t have it. So after all these years, except for large-scale agricultural plans, I haven’t heard of anyone hiring a permanent worker to do farm work.
This leads to the fact that people who are willing to endure hardships think the wages are low, and those who don’t think the wages are low may not necessarily like to work. And farmers really can’t afford high wages.
Song Sancheng took a puff of cigarette: "I know this truth, but I'm afraid that your Grandpa Li will feel uncomfortable hearing it..."
It's not about the scarcity but the inequality!
Song Tan shook his head: "My Grandpa Li has filial descendants. Besides, he doesn't do any hard work. He just lends his hand and walks around a few times when he has nothing to do."
"I'll do this job if you want." With a salary of two thousand, why would the other old men and women in the village go crazy? So we had discussed it earlier and he would be happy. We didn’t mention the money, but the rice, flour, grains and oils were all delivered to him, which is better than buying it alone. It’s convenient.”
“It’s okay if we cut another twenty pounds of pork at the end of the year.”
“If you don’t like it, just say it.”
Song Sancheng breathed a sigh of relief: "I know... Just make it clear."
He turned around and became proud again: "Look at how my daughter is doing things now. She is worthy of being my daughter!"
Song Tan:...
This is really a real father. Your daughter has never been I was in the ivory tower of university, and I have only been working in society for less than two years. Now my mind is so clear, don’t you think about it?
However, she was also happy to reassure her parents, so she asked again:
"Dad, after tomorrow, I think the fields at the door will be almost plowed, and the water will be released from the pond by then. The two rice fields below are about to be prepared.”
"Then the vegetable seeds should be sown, and the vegetable seedlings should be moved. We have to take care of the back mountain all by yourself."
Song Sancheng glanced at her: "Can I still do it? Originally, I can't do it." I'm the only one taking care of it."
"Besides, you, Uncle Zhang, will come over tomorrow!"
"Oh, by the way," he remembered again. thing.
"Your uncle called and said that we will go back to our hometown to visit the grave tomorrow. We have a large family, so don't forget to tell your grandma at night. Don't pick tea tomorrow morning, and help make a meal. ”
Also, let me add a little more.
There are so many monthly tickets!
