Hearing this, Lin Xiangyi thought that Xie Qingxiao felt that he could not meet the expectations of the old village chief, so he looked up at Xie Qingxiao strangely and said, "Don't you think we can grow to the point where we can give back to the village?"
"Of course we can," Xie Qingxiao glanced at Lin Xiangyi, "After all, you are here."
According to Lin Xiangyi's ideas and vision, it is only a matter of time before they grow up.
Xie Qingxiao now has no doubt about Lin Xiangyi's ability at all.
Lin Xiangyi was pleased by his natural tone of praising her. The corners of her lips curled up, and she looked up at Xie Qingxiao and said coquettishly: "And you, without your cooperation, I can't do anything with my ideas! Mr. Xie, your ability should not be underestimated."
Xie Qingxiao's lips unconsciously raised, he glanced at Lin Xiangyi and sneered: "Now we are praising each other, right?"
Lin Xiangyi snorted and laughed, holding Xie Qingxiao's arm tightly, and emphasized: "I am telling the truth."
Xie Qingxiao asked her to pay attention to the road and couldn't help laughing: "Then we are really a perfect match?"
"Yes, we are a perfect match!" Lin Xiangyi agreed without hesitation.
Xie Qingxiao felt relieved.
The two chatted and laughed for a while, then turned to business.
"How much money do we have in our account now?" Xie Qingxiao asked.
"We made a lot of money last month, plus the money we had before, a total of about 4,000 yuan." Lin Xiangyi looked around and saw endless fields. He was not afraid of being exposed and heard by others.
"It cost about a thousand to build the house and dig the well. Now I have about three thousand left. What's wrong? Do I need to buy something big?"
"After the workshop opens, our demand for transporting goods will also increase," Xie Qingxiao said:
"You mentioned earlier that we could hire a bullock cart from the village, but there are only two bullock carts in the village, and sometimes they have to handle village affairs and other villagers' needs. It's inevitable that they will collide, which can easily delay the delivery of our goods."
"I was thinking, can we buy one or two mature cows to bring back to transport the goods?"
Lin Xiangyi was also thinking about this, but she just didn't discuss it with Xie Qingxiao. Xie Qingxiao happened to bring it up, so she agreed, "Sure, have you found out where there's cattle for sale?"
"I asked the people at the meat processing plant, and they can help us get two strong bulls. But they are quite expensive, about six or seven hundred yuan each," said Xie Qingxiao.
If calculated based on the beef sold in the market, it shouldn't be that expensive, but strong beef will definitely have a much higher price.
"Then go take a look some other day, and buy it if it's suitable," Lin Xiangyi said, "You can't save on transportation."
Xie Qingxiao smiled: "Okay!"
Within two days, Xie Qingxiao told his father and mother that he wanted to build a cowshed next to the pigpen. Only then did his father and mother know that the couple had bought two cows without saying a word!
"Why didn't you discuss such an important matter as buying a cow with your family?" Xie's father and mother were stunned.
"Dad, Mom, we bought the cow to transport goods, not to waste money," Lin Xiangyi was afraid that Xie's father and mother would scold Xie Qingxiao, so she hurriedly explained.
Xie's father and mother: "..." They now know that even if this couple spends money recklessly, it is still a good idea.
But in recent months, especially in the past month or so, the earth-shaking changes that have taken place at home have really made them a little overwhelmed!
Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi would shock them from time to time, doing business, digging wells, building workshops, hiring people and now buying cows... these were things they had never dared to think about before.
"The vacant space next to the pigpen can indeed be used to build a cowshed, but Xiao, can you do it?" Father Xie came to his senses and asked Xie Qingxiao.
Xie Qingxiao has never been there, so of course he doesn’t know how to do it.
He actually went to see other people's cowsheds being built. He thought it was not very difficult, but for the safety of the cows, he did not plan to build it himself. He said, "No, I want to ask the village cow shed owner if he can help me build it. I also need to build the frame of the ox cart."
Uncle Niu’s surname is not Niu, but he has been helping to look after the cows in the village since he was in the production team, so everyone is used to calling him Uncle Niu.
Father Xie: "Leave this to me. I'll go talk to Uncle Niu. Leave the frame to me as well. You can focus on the workshop first."
Xie Qingxiao nodded after hearing this: "Okay, thank you, Dad."
"When will you bring the cow back?" Xie's mother asked eagerly.
Two cows cost more than a thousand yuan, which was enough to support a family in the past. Now that she had bought them, she would be worried about leaving them in someone else's home.
"Wait a few days, until the cowshed is built," said Xie Qingxiao.
"Okay, I'll feed the baby when the time comes. Xiangyi, just rest and take care of the baby. Xiao, you just focus on business matters," Xie's mother nodded repeatedly.
Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi didn't expect that Xie's father and mother would cooperate with them so well. They looked at each other and were somewhat moved.
Lin Xiangyi remembered: "By the way, Dad and Mom, why didn't you eat the milk powder that Xiao and I bought?"
Lin Xiangyi had previously told Xie's father and mother that she would buy them malted milk and milk powder to supplement their bodies, and she later actually bought them.
After Lin Xiangyi became pregnant, she would occasionally drink malted milk and milk powder, but the two elders stopped drinking them and left them for Lin Xiangyi.
When Lin Xiangyi found out, she asked them why they didn't drink. They said they wanted to drink, but they were actually just saying that to Lin Xiangyi. In reality, they hadn't drunk very many times up to now.
They don't think they need to get that stuff, it's too expensive.
"We have food to eat," Xie's mother really said.
Lin Xiangyi immediately looked at Xie's mother helplessly, with an expression that said, "You lied to me again."
Mother Xie said awkwardly: "Drink, drink, drink. Your father and I will drink later!"
"That's right," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, "I know you and dad want to save money for Qingxiao and me, but health is the capital of revolution. Only when you and dad have recovered their health can you help Qingxiao and me earn more money, right? What's more, we don't lack that little money now, so you and dad really don't need to save money."
"Okay, okay," Xie's mother said with a smile.
Lin Xiangyi still felt that it was a bit perfunctory, so she continued, "Oh, by the way, Mom and Dad, I've already told Qingxiao to go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy a few more cans of malted milk and milk powder. I won't drink the ones left at home now, so I'll keep them for you. Don't let them expire, it would be bad if they were wasted."
Thank you, father and mother: "..."
After Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi left, Aunt Xie came up to him, trying not to laugh: "Ah Xiao and Xiangyi are so good to you and your second brother! Especially Xiangyi, she came up with such a trick to force you and your second brother to replenish your body. I am so happy."
"Xiangyi is such a funny kid. I didn't expect that," Xie's mother said with a slightly complaining tone, but in fact she could no longer hide the smile on her face.
"It's because you and your second brother are good to Xiangyi that she treats you so well," Aunt Xie said to Mother Xie angrily.
Mother Xie: “That’s right…”
"Xiangyi is right. Health is the capital of revolution. Only when you and your second brother take good care of your health can you help Xiao and Xiangyi do more. Just listen to her."
"I know."
