Yu Pingan was also thinking of earning some capital for his younger brother, because supplying several hundred kilograms of goods would definitely require capital to purchase them.
Last time my younger brother divided the family property, my grandmother gave him 200 yuan, but moving cost several tens of yuan, so he didn't have much money left.
Moreover, the younger brother must have given gifts during this business negotiation.
How could they have secured such a large order without giving gifts?
My brother probably doesn't have much money left either.
With Dad's help on my brother's side, they can earn money from both sides, so the family can build a new house sooner.
"Brother, the family didn't separate before, so there was no other way for you to go to the coal mine to dig coal."
Why can't we go now?
Why are you still so persistent?
Why wait a year?
Yu Chengyuan didn't understand why his elder brother insisted on waiting until a year later.
"Chengyuan, it's good that your father is here to help you."
I can have another source of income, so isn't that double insurance?
Once I've earned enough money in a year to build my house, I won't go to the coal mine anymore.
What do you say, okay?
Yu Pingan revealed his true thoughts.
"Dad is busy with things at home."
I have other plans.
These are not the most important things.
Most importantly, underground coal mining is really dangerous.
Do you understand?
Yu Chengyuan was getting angry. Why couldn't he reason with his older brother?
Do you think this double insurance is effective?
“Ping An, your brother is right. Mining coal underground is not only hard work, but also very dangerous.”
Just listen to your brother.
The greatest happiness is for a family to be together peacefully and safely.
You need to understand that every day you work in the coal mine, your father and I worry about you all day long.
Their eldest son used to work in a coal mine, and the couple lived in constant fear.
"What are you three arguing about?"
When Yu Dazhu returned, he heard voices coming from the eldest brother's room.
"Honey, you're back now, hurry up and try to persuade the eldest son!"
My second son and I both tried to persuade him not to work there anymore, but he insisted on staying for another year.
Pan Cuilian quickly said this when she saw her husband return.
He thought his eldest son would listen to his father.
"Dad, you should persuade my older brother not to go to work in the coal mine."
Mining coal underground is a very dangerous job; you could lose your life at any moment.
Gas explosions, groundwater leaks, and cave-ins can all occur underground; any one of these could be fatal.
This is no joke; we absolutely cannot take any chances.
Yu Chengyuan thought that his eldest brother was usually the most obedient to his father at home, except for not daring to disobey his grandmother.
"Boss, listen to Cheng Yuan, don't go to the coal mine to dig coal. We're not going to make that kind of money that involves risking our lives."
I am the head of the household, and what I say goes.
Now that everyone in my family is able to work, we won't starve even if we just stay home and farm!
Why would someone have to go down into a coal mine to earn that deadly money?
Yu Dazhu said seriously.
"Brother, as long as the whole family is together, happy and healthy, that's a real blessing."
Besides, you don't just stay at home farming, didn't I just tell you that?
You can make money selling vegetables, just like I can make money selling vegetables.
"You and I can go deliver the groceries together every day."
"You earn 120 yuan a month mining coal, so I'll pay you the same salary. Are you still going to refuse me?"
"Aren't you willing to help your own brother?"
Yu Chengyuan couldn't let his elder brother help for nothing; he would definitely have to give him something in return.
No, no, no…
Chengyuan, I can't accept your salary.
We're all family, why would we need wages!
I'm not going to work in the coal mine anymore, I'll do as you say.
"Stop surrounding me and talking."
How could he expect his younger brother to pay his salary?!
"Of course, wages must be paid. We're brothers, so let's keep clear accounts."
"If you don't want a salary, do you still want to get married in the future?"
Yu Chengyuan joked.
"Chengyuan, we still don't know if your business will be profitable."
You can pay me my salary when you've made some money!
"I won't refuse then, is that alright with you?"
Yu Pingan thought to himself, if his younger brother hadn't earned any money, how could he possibly accept his brother's salary?
So let's see what happens in the future!
"Okay, we'll do it your way!"
"Father and Mother, I have something to tell you."
I took on two jobs, delivering vegetables to the hospital cafeteria and school cafeteria in the county.
It weighs several hundred kilograms every day.
Now look at how many vegetables we have at home?
Please take a look at these two lists and see what items we have.
Yu Chengyuan showed the two lists to the elderly couple.
When Yu Dazhu and his wife took a closer look, they both gasped.
Good heavens, there are so many!
Hospital cafeteria list:
100 jin of cucumbers, 100 jin of eggplants, 50 jin of tomatoes, and 50 jin of eggs.
School cafeteria list:
One hundred catties of green beans, one hundred catties of pumpkin, and fifty catties each of green and red peppers.
"Father, Mother, how much of these items can our family contribute?"
Yu Chengyuan asked, though he was unclear about this point.
"Chengyuan, our family just separated, and your grandmother didn't give us any of the good vegetable plots."
Besides the pumpkins grown in this old house, there are also winter melons grown on the western slope.
All that's left is the plot of land by the river that my mother used to cultivate.
But that was only enough for myself.
Pan Cuilian thought to herself that it looked like she was going to have to clear land and start farming.
Fortunately, although their house is detached and isolated, it is spacious enough to be cleared.
