Chapter 1481: Household Trivia

Some people say that the cold in the north in winter is a physical attack. As long as you wear enough clothes when going out, live in a place with heating, or go home to burn a kang. Then you basically don't feel the cold in winter.

The cold in the south in winter is a magical attack. No matter how much you wear, you still feel very cold. In addition, the house is not heated, and the kang cannot be burned in the house. That's the taste of winter.

The geographical location of Yangjia Village belongs to the north of the Huaihe River. It should be considered a physical attack of the cold in the north, but compared with northeastern provinces such as Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning.

The houses in the city of Yangjia Village are not heated, and no one in the rural families burns a kang. So they also wear clothes to resist the cold in winter, which is as dry and cold as in the south.

And although the quality of life of each family has improved now, air conditioning is installed. But air conditioning is so useful in summer, and it will be cool if you turn it on for a while.

But heating in winter is all kinds of lame. You might as well find a tree root to make a fire and warm yourself up after turning on the air conditioner for half a day. So it is understandable to hide in the quilt in winter.

The weather forecast is very reliable. On the third day after returning, the dry and cold sky suddenly began to warm up, bringing warmth to people in the cold.

Then in the afternoon, the sky began to be gloomy, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky before it was completely dark.

Under normal circumstances, if it snows directly without raining, the snow on the ground will accumulate quickly, and it will not be muddy to walk on it. If there is a light rain before the snow, then basically the snow is small and not many snowflakes will melt.

"Dongjie, watch your brother and don't let him fall." Seeing a group of children who couldn't sit still in the house, with firecrackers in their pockets and slingshots in their hands, they were walking around even if there were no birds on the trees in winter. Yang Dongxu couldn't help shouting from behind.

"I know, don't worry, I'm watching it, it's okay." Yang Dongjie replied, letting Xiao Wenchen walk in front with the slingshot and he watched from behind.

Yang Dongjie is already fourteen years old this year. He is rebellious and playful. He can be said to be the king of children in the village.

In addition to the status of the Yang family in the village, almost all the children in this batch now follow him around, the older ones are fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger ones are six or seven years old. As long as he returns to the village, there will be a long line of them following him.

Originally, it was fine for the children in the same village to play together, which was much safer than in the city. Now with Dongjie as his brother watching, there is no problem at all.

Yang Dongxu began to help with the vegetables in the greenhouse in the field. At the end of the year, the price of vegetables is rising. Every morning, Yangjia Village has to send out several trucks of green vegetables.

Because the roads in the neighboring villages are not good, it is fine if it does not rain. When it rains, the vegetables in the greenhouse are basically carried to the fields of Yangjia Village and loaded together.

Zhou Ya is preparing dinner at home. Zhuo Qing'er has been learning to make tiger-head cotton shoes and tiger-head hats with the old people in the village these days.

Several families in the village have added children this year, so the older generation makes tiger-head shoes and tiger-head hats for their grandchildren. Zhuo Qing'er is interested and learns beside them.

These days, they have started to produce drawings and prepare to come up with a set of processes. In this way, when you hold a Chinese wedding for someone, when the family has added a person to the full moon banquet.

Sending a set of tiger-head shoes, tiger-head hats, or five-poison bellybands, etc., is much more meaningful than sending a greeting card.

At the same time, Zhuo Qing'er is not only doing Chinese wedding celebrations, she also has the clothing brand Huaxiu and the luxury brand Gucci.

The families who can ask her to design Chinese weddings are all rich people. These small gifts are not expensive, but can better maintain customer relationships.

When the time comes, the guests will be happy to order a few sets of clothes, or buy a bag or a watch, and then they will double their money.

"Go over there and watch the scale and keep accounts." Seeing Yang Dongxu, his uncle Shengli said to him.

"Let the aunt watch the scale, I will help carry the vegetables." Yang Dongxu said.

"You go to the scale, be careful not to get your clothes dirty." The aunt said beside him.

Now that the Internet has begun to develop slowly, the family has become richer, and the uncle and aunt will occasionally take Dongjie out for a walk during the winter and summer vacations throughout the year.

In addition, since the mistake of giving away the valuable gift Zhou Ya gave them last time, the little aunt also began to know the value of those unbranded clothes Zhou Ya bought for the family during the holidays.

"It's okay, this coat belongs to my father, not me." Yang Dongxu smiled and waved his hand, asking the little aunt to make room. He and his uncle Shengli worked together to carry a bundle of celery out of the greenhouse.

Yang's father and mother are busy at the pig farm. They have to sell a pen of pigs today. However, the pigs are only weighed and taken directly to the city for slaughter. So they are not busy there, and he comes to help in the field.

Now the little uncle's family has two main sources of income, one is the income from the greenhouse vegetables, and the other is the income from the Chinese medicine in the family's field.

The Yang family has three households, and the three households have a total of more than ten people and nearly 20 acres of land. In addition to the wasteland contracted before, there are about 200 acres in total.

Two years ago, the pig farm of the little uncle's family and the pig farm of the Yang family were merged together, and they were all handed over to Yang's father to take care of.

My uncle's family specializes in greenhouse vegetables and herbal medicine.

The price of greenhouse vegetables in winter is needless to say. The Chinese medicine in the field is directly customized by the pharmaceutical factory, so there is no situation where it cannot be sold, or if everyone plants whatever makes money, and the price collapses in the end. In this way, the combined profit of these two businesses is no less than that of pig farms.

Now, it is not just the Yang family. Basically, any family with more land in the village has greenhouse vegetables. Those who do not grow greenhouse vegetables also grow Chinese medicine.

Or transfer the land out. For example, Xiaowu's family does not grow land now. They transfer all the land out and pay 800 yuan per mu per year.

Their family's income mainly comes from the electrical appliance store on the street and the transportation company that Xiaowu is now running.

Almost all the villagers in Yangjia Village started out by driving trucks. After Xiaowu built the transportation company, he integrated the trucks and drivers from all over the country. This year, the scale has expanded a lot and made a lot of money.

This kind of resource integration is actually a win-win situation. In this way, the truck drivers from all over the country do not have to find work alone, and they are also being forced to lower their prices.

Every day, according to the company's arrangement, they deliver the goods to where they want and bring back what they want. It saves worry and effort and makes more money than before. If something goes wrong, everyone is happy to have the company in front of them.

Two people worked together to lift the trapped celery onto the scale, and after it was weighed, they began to lift it to the side and put it on the car.

This truckload of vegetables is going to the province. It takes about five hours to drive from Yangjia Village to the province.

Now it is directly loaded from the greenhouse to the provincial capital at night, and then the unloading will take an hour or two. At two or three o'clock tomorrow morning, vendors and people from major farmers' markets will go to the wholesale market to distribute this batch of vegetables to various stores in the provincial capital.

"Come and drink some water. Are you tired?" After delivering the last bag of vegetables to the car, the aunt came with a kettle to pour tea.

"It's okay. It's warm to do some work in winter. You and your uncle don't cook at night. When I came here, I told Zhou Ya that the family is almost ready. We will all go to the old house for dinner later."

"Why do you go to your house for dinner after working for half a day? Order two dishes on the street and invite your parents and Zhou Ya to my house to eat." The aunt said.

"It's almost ready. I'll go to your house tomorrow to eat. I won't help you with the finishing. We'll have dinner at home later. I'll go see where Dongjie took Xiao Wenchen. The snow is getting heavier."

"Who said it wasn't? We were supposed to pack the vegetables tomorrow, but it's really going to snow, so we can only pack them the night before." The aunt said.

Then she heard the people who were picking vegetables shouting, and hurriedly took the account book to check the accounts with the other party to prepare for the payment.

Usually, the vegetables are basically paid together several times, and the vegetables at the end of the year are paid in cash on the spot. After all, it's the end of the year and everyone is preparing for the New Year. No one wants to go around collecting debts before the New Year.

Yang Dongxu said hello to his uncle Shengli and started walking home. Along the way, his third uncle and second uncle called people and handed cigarettes while calling. There was no more cigarettes when he left the field.

He lit the cigarette in his mouth and took a puff, but didn't feel any taste. He held it in his hand and let it burn and walked into the village.

Just as I walked to the village entrance, I saw a big truck coming in. The two brothers, Da Liang and Xiao Liang, who had gone to see the trucks two days ago, came back.

The truck was also used to send the sheep to the city, not to bring them back to share among the villages for the New Year.

There are still many farmers in the countryside who raise sheep. The sheep raised by farmers basically don't eat feed, because feed costs money. They usually eat free grass, as well as bean cakes or rapeseed cakes left when squeezing oil.

There are no fattening drugs, and they are all full-year-old. So if you want to eat mutton, you can buy one from someone who raises sheep, and the taste is no worse than the sheep on the grassland.

Of course, some people like to eat meat for the sake of reputation, so Da Liang left a dozen sheep on the truck and decided to share them when he came back.

Seeing Yang Dongxu, Da Liang got off the co-pilot and Xiao Liang drove the truck home.

The transportation company he and Xiao Wu set up has no cars, and the big trucks are all owned by the drivers. So at the end of the year, whoever owns the car can drive it home, and the gate of the site in the city will be locked and even the gatekeeper doesn't need to be left.

Seeing Daliang coming down, Yang Dongxu reached into his pocket for a cigarette, and then he remembered that the last cigarette in the cigarette box was burning in his hand.

Seeing Daliang handing over a cigarette, he didn't say he was smoking and didn't want it, but took the cigarette and put it between his ears.

"When did you come back?" Daliang asked.

"Just came back two days ago, how was the road?"

"It was just a traffic jam for a while when it snowed, and then the oil was lost once at the service area, and the rest was fine." Daliang said with a smile.

Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The oil is lost, it's fine, it's the end of the year and people are fine."

"I thought so too, so I accepted my bad luck at the time and didn't bother about it." Daliang scratched his scalp, and the two of them tightened their collars and walked towards the village together, "It's mainly because I have been dealing in fruits in the south in the past few years.

This line in the north has just started this year, and when the oil was lost, Xiaoliang wanted to go around the local area. I said that I was coming back for the New Year, so I didn't let him go. I'll run a few more times and get familiar with the road, and it will be fine."

"Are oil thieves rampant now?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"If you haven't lost gas a few times on a long-distance trip, you'd be embarrassed to say you've traveled all over the world," Daliang joked with a smile.
