Chapter 6 Don’t Squeal Like a Pig
Chapter 6 6. Don’t imitate pig braying
Song Tan was really shocked.
"Is our family so rich?"
It’s both mountains and fields.
"What kind of money do you have?" Wulan didn't even raise his head: "It's all passed down from your grandfather. It's in the barren mountains and ridges. It can't be sold and no one will take care of it. It's left uncultivated!"
Song Tan was silent.
There are less than thirty households in the entire village now, 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, so large-scale agricultural machinery cannot be used. Small-scale ones need to be paid for at your own expense, which is expensive. You can’t earn back the cost of one acre of land in a year. In addition, the road is winding and there is nothing to sell outside.
He grows rice and wheat for his own food. It takes a hard year of irrigation, fertilization, insecticide and weeding, which costs a lot of money.
What about the harvest?
When the labor force is not enough, they will collect food from their own families.
Looking back, I saw that it costs 2 yuan per pound in the supermarket in town. Although the taste is not that good, I don’t have to work hard, so the money spent is much less!
It's better to leave it alone.
If you really want to make money, you have to go out and work after finishing the first half of every year!
For example, Wulan went to a shoe factory to wear shoelaces last year 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, lost more than ten kilograms, and came back to recuperate for more than half a month.
After all, they are older 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 didn't hit her at all, but just asked back: "If you can do it, I will take care of all 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 going to plant 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!
It’s been a long time since I traveled back in time, but I haven’t achieved any results yet. Isn’t everything you plant in vain?
But facing Ulan's threatening eyes, Song Tan decisively changed his words:
"Mom, don't worry. When have I ever done anything I wasn't sure about since I was a kid?"
It's true that my daughter has always been well-behaved and sensible - except this time.
Wulan 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 don't move the ones where we grow things."
"I also have arrangements for a few hills, but we need people to dig the mountains. The machine can't go up - Mom, just hire people and I'll pay for it."
"Are you here to pay?" Ulan looked at her meaningfully:
"Daughter, it costs two hundred yuan a day to dig mountains. You only have sixty thousand yuan, so take it easy, otherwise our family won't have that much capital for you."
Song Tan's expression cracked - why was she so obedient before! All deposits must be reported, mama!
Song Qiao ran in after cleaning up the kitchen, her hands were red, 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 deliberately trained Song Qiao, and taught them little by little housework, 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!"
Ouch!
Who can refuse such a big baby!
Song Tan immediately took out his cell phone: "Come on, let's—"
She got stuck.
I saw that the mobile phone I took out had cracks all over it, as if it was dancing on the edge of being scrapped——
Wulan looked at his thousand-yuan machine and suddenly felt sad.
"Mom knows it's hard for you outside, but there is no shortage of things for you at home, so don't be too frugal."
For a moment, he softened his voice: "If you want to farm, just farm well. There is nothing else but plenty of land in the house. I can do whatever you want."
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."
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 speaking.
At this moment, Wu Lan couldn't keep the softness in his heart and roared:
"Song Qiaoqiao! I told you that if you ever imitate that pig noise again, you are not allowed to watch TV!"
…
In the silent night, Song Tan finally had the opportunity to try to induce spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy is dotted with stars, 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.
It was like the sweet rain nourishing her weak body that was riddled with wounds and escaping from death, and tempering her body...
Finally, when the sky turned white, the spiritual energy that had been running became more and more intense, and then Song Tan took it into his 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 Xincun Village, although she is not so afraid of the cold now, she still has to say: The water heater is awesome!
But the bad thing is that because the dirt on her body is too difficult to rub, after taking a shower, not only did the hot water run out, but Wulan also woke up.
Taking a shower in the morning in the middle of winter, and the hot water in the water heater has run out, so she has to use cold water? !
It's simply crazy!
So in an instant, the whole family got up - Qiao Qiao cooked ginger soup, Song Sancheng lit the stove, and Wulan hurried to use the stove to stew water again, so as not to let her catch a cold!
Finally, before going out, the fairy Song Tan wrapped herself in an old military coat and a woolen hat from her grandmother's generation, and was allowed to sit on the back seat of the motorcycle.
It is difficult to start a motorcycle in winter. Song Sancheng stepped on the ignition rod in front, and she was thinking about what to do today behind her back -
First, go to the town police station to apply for an ID card.
Thank God, because of mobile payment nowadays, she didn't carry the card with her when she had a car accident, which saved a lot of trouble.
Then buy a new mobile phone.
The two most important things were done, and the next thing was 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 rolling mountains she had just crossed, and then looking at the rising red sun in the sky, she felt full of pride:
"Dad! It won't be long before I will make our village more beautiful! Our lives will be better!"
Song Sancheng was riding in front and also shouted: "Tan Tan, spend your 60,000 yuan slowly!"
In the past, the hot water capacity of the electric water heater in the rental house was not large, and it was very tight to wash your bath and hair in winter... What Tan Tan wanted to plant first, can you guess?
