Chapter 899 Sister Betrays Brother
Time flies when people have something to do. Even when you are taking care of your child, you feel that time is very difficult to bear. Why does this little brat just not sleep?
But when you look back, you find that several months have passed unknowingly. It seems that it has not been long since the full moon banquet of Xiao Wenchen was held, and the hundred-day banquet seems to be just around the corner.
"Don't do those big things. Everyone is busy at the beginning of the year. Some people visit relatives, and after visiting relatives, they have to go out to work. So for the hundred-day banquet, our family will just sit down and have a meal together to have fun and entertain guests." Yang Dongxu said.
Although he has no beard and his face in his twenties still looks a little immature, he is already the pillar of the family with a child. His words carry more weight than before, especially when it comes to his own children. Yang's father and mother rarely disobey his wishes. Of course, loving their grandson is definitely not within the scope.
"Those gifts." Yang's mother was a little worried.
After all, the 100-day banquet for the child is also a happy event. People have prepared gifts and sent them to the door. It is a bit unreasonable for you not to invite them to a meal.
"I will inform the people who sent the gifts that we are not planning to hold the 100-day banquet, so they should stop bothering. I will send these gifts back to them after I am done with this period of time." Yang Dongxu said.
It is obviously not possible to return them as they are. It is estimated that no one will take them back after returning them, and it is a bit embarrassing. After all, those who can afford to give gifts are either close friends or wealthy merchants who don't care about the value of these gifts.
So this return must be asked to help inquire. If the other party has any happy events, you have to return the gifts yourself. In this way, there will be no big mistakes in etiquette. As for whether it is cooperation or whether you can become friends, that is another matter to discuss, and it does not necessarily have to be involved in these things.
"Then let's do it this way. Invite your uncle's family to have a meal together. If your grandparents come, they can also have fun together. The relatives who come to congratulate the whole family can sit together for a meal. Forget about others." Yang's father made the final decision.
Although Yang's mother often has the final say in family matters, Yang's father obviously has more say in such major matters. Grandpa and grandma, old man Xuan, and his father-in-law have to stand aside. After all, he is Xiao Wenchen's grandfather. Other relationships are definitely inferior to this one, not to mention that Yang Dongxu, the father, has also spoken.
The Hundred Days Banquet was decided, and Yang Dongxu began to take his wife to visit relatives one by one. This was impossible to shirk. After all, people bring gifts to their homes every year. It's okay if you are not at home, but you must take your wife and children to visit relatives at home.
And it's not good to have children but not take them with you. If other families want to take their children to get New Year's money, after all, in addition to New Year's goods, New Year's money is the biggest expense every year.
The Yang family obviously hasn't gotten to the point where they have to take their children to visit relatives to get New Year's money to make a profit. Even if Yang Dongxu wants to go by himself, Zhou Ya and the children will continue to recuperate at home. After all, it's still cold at the beginning of the year.
But even if your family is not short of money, not bringing your children to your home will make the other party feel that you look down on him. That is to say, when you are poor, if you take your children to visit relatives, others will say that you are using your children to get New Year's money. If your relatives are as poor as you, they will express happiness on the surface, but they don't know how to curse in secret.
When your family is rich, you don't care about the New Year's money at all. Considering your wife and children, you hope that they will not suffer, so you don't take them to visit relatives. Some people start to think that your family is rich and look down on them. What does it mean that you don't even take your children to visit relatives at the beginning of the year?
So sometimes people's thoughts are so weird!
Yang Dongxu drove his father's pickup truck to visit relatives, not because he wanted to be low-key and not show off. But the current rural areas are not like the future when every village is connected. Although the road in Yangjia Village is well built, many relatives' villages have not built roads.
Mercedes-Benz is indeed very valuable for special customization, but facing the complex road conditions in rural areas, let alone customized Mercedes-Benz, even limited edition Mercedes-Benz is hard to say that pickup trucks are more durable.
"Haven't you been hearing about road repairs in recent years? Why haven't they been repaired yet?" Zhou Ya asked, holding her son and sitting in the co-pilot.
"I heard that in the countryside, the meaning of these two words is unknown. As long as the date is clearly specified in the document, everything you hear is unreliable." Although Yang Dongxu did not live in the countryside for a long time in this life, he was very familiar with such situations in his previous life.
"Does it mean that it will not be repaired?"
"Not necessarily, let's see what the leaders think. There are many villages with important and economic crops now. If the leaders above have the courage to borrow money to build roads directly, then all the roads to the countryside can be built in the next two years.
If they don't have that courage and only look at the funds in the financial accounts to order dishes, it is estimated that it will take several years." Yang Dongxu said.
"What if the harvest in the village cannot be transported out during the harvest season and rots in the fields?" Zhou Ya asked.
"This is the main responsibility of the farmers. Who asked you not to carry it out? As long as the public grain is not enough, these problems are not a problem."
"Why, you are a father and you are angry again?" Zhou Ya turned her head to look at her husband.
"I'm just complaining, but it's true, but it's not entirely true. The situation here in our city is relatively better, especially in recent years, the development of specialty agriculture has been very good, so we can say that we have both face and substance. Now that we see hope, no one is willing to give up such an opportunity."
"Why does it still sound a bit sarcastic?" Zhou Ya smiled slightly.
"This is not sarcasm, it's a fact. You can't let everyone be a saint without asking for anything in return. Officials manage the local area well, and then be appreciated by the superiors and get promotion opportunities. This is a mutually beneficial thing. I am not sarcastic. "Yang Dongxu said.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Zhou Ya rolled her eyes. She knew better than anyone the small farmer mentality and angry youth genes in her husband's heart after living together for so many years.
But there is nothing wrong with this. Everyone has their own emotions. It would be too hypocritical to hide something if you can.
There are many relatives, and I have to visit several houses a day. Some are close to each other and I have to visit several houses at once. Many of them just bring a bag to the house and count it as a visit, then go to the next house, and finally have a meal at one house. In the afternoon, they go from house to house. Collect the bag, collect the New Year's money and go home.
After all this hard work, it won’t be until the ninth day of the first lunar month that all the relatives are gone. If one family is leaving, it will probably be the twentieth day of the first lunar month.
After visiting relatives, the Yang family started to get busy. What was busy was not the Lantern Festival, but also the wedding of twenty-year-old girl Dandan. The date was originally set for the first lunar month, but because there were too many things to do before the new year, it was postponed to the end of the new year. The date was set on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the third day after the Lantern Festival.
"Have you decided what to do?" In the courtyard of the old house, the younger sister's partner, Xiao Cheng, was sitting opposite him. The younger sister was originally accompanying Zhou Ya and her children upstairs, but she also came down after hearing his words.
Although the younger sister has not suffered much since she was a child, and her usual personality is a bit carefree, she still has some intentions, especially when she tries to trick her brother.
At this time, she was obviously afraid of her husband-to-be, and she was a little unsure of her brother's temper and dared not speak, so she prepared to come down and say it herself. Anyway, others were afraid of her brother, but she was not afraid. My brother is so rich, so he must ask for more. Anyway, my sister-in-law is also very nice and won't get angry.
"Just build that reservoir, but we have never raised fish before and don't know how to do it." The younger sister said.
"Then find someone to learn from you first, and ask more experts for advice and let me arrange it. In fact, if you don't focus on quantity but focus on characteristics, fish farming will not be so troublesome.
There is no need to think about adding medicine to the feed to make it grow too fast. At the beginning of each year, just put a batch of fry in according to the size of the reservoir, occasionally get some grass leaves and vegetables, and feed some feed from time to time.
Others raise fish for one year and then sell them, but you raise them for two or three years. If you don't do those messy things, the fish can be regarded as semi-wild and have good disease resistance, so they don't have so many worries. "
"It only takes two or three years to sell a batch of fish. How much money can you make?" The little girl curled her lips.
"It all depends on who you sell to, and now there are large rivers in rural areas with water and small ditches that are not dry. It is not uncommon for fish to be everywhere. But in two years when the environment deteriorates, wild fish will be rare."
The fish raised by others sell for three to four yuan per catty. You can sell it for seven or eight yuan, or even higher. On average, you can make a lot of money in a year.
Let’s talk about a batch of fish being produced in two or three years. It does not mean that it takes two or three years to buy a batch of fish. It took so long to save money in the first two or three years.
Fish fry are put into it according to the proportion every year, and the fish grow up and reproduce on their own. By the fourth year, you can buy a batch a year, and you can make more money by selling them at a higher price than others. Yang Dongxu said.
"It's so expensive, will anyone buy it?" the little girl continued to ask.
"No one wants to sell it to rural people. After all, as long as rural people have meat to eat, they don't care so much about fish. Even if the water in the small ditch dries up, there is still water in the river, so they can fish for themselves, or go fishing It’s okay to catch him.
There is no need to buy fish at the market, so these are sold to those in the city. In short, the wilder the price, the more they like it, so you don’t have to worry about sales.
And in addition to fish, you can also raise some old turtles and so on. There is no need to keep them behind nets, and they should be kept as semi-wild as possible. You should invest five years in this thing first, and then you can count the money. "
'Bawangbie Chicken' is definitely a tough dish, especially the big rooster that has been raised in the countryside for several years paired with the old turtle. It is an absolute tonic. Even in an ordinary farmhouse, the starting price of a dish is at least 500. If you can get it The Yang Family Banquet has to start at 1,000.
So if you want to make more money, then get a farmhouse, and buy chicken, duck, etc. Your brother-in-law has a farm there, and you also have a pig farm at home, so you can just bring it there.
If you want to save trouble, just buy the raw materials. Although you will earn a little less, you can only be busy when catching and manage the rest of the time.
