It was almost noon when Chen Chunhua returned home. She saw Liang Shengdi sulking while steaming rice, so she asked her what was wrong with her mouth.
Liang Shengdi looked at her daughter-in-law for a long time and finally said,
"Chunhua, do you think I can do something to make money?"
Chen Chunhua: “Ah?”
Liang Shengdi squatted there and thought for a long time. She felt that Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua earned their own money and she couldn't ask them to borrow money. Besides, they were also thinking about building a house and were still saving money!
As for Ma Dexiang, she didn't lie. She counted on her fingers for a long time. With so many people in their family, if they didn't ask the children for money, it would be considered good if they could save a few hundred yuan.
But his daughter Lin Yulan has no money.
In the past, I was either giving birth or preparing for it, and for so many years I was always taking care of the housework. Now that I am not having children anymore, I go to work in the fields.
However, the saddest thing is that farming does not make money.
Even if the Ma family had six and a half acres of land, and they planted all of it and had a good harvest, the remaining rice after paying the public tax would be for their own consumption. After the whole family had filled their stomachs, there would not be much rice left, and they would not make much money if they sold it.
So Lin Yulan has no money.
By the same token, Liang Shengdi has no money either.
If she had money in her own pocket, would she even say a word to Ma Dexiang? She could just take out the Great Unity and throw it to her granddaughter. Go! Go build your house! Grandma will give you money!
Unfortunately, she didn't.
So she didn't want to farm anymore and wanted to make money.
Chen Chunhua was a little surprised by her idea, and after organizing her words for a long time, she said,
"Mom, how can you think you have no money? You have a share of the money Guoqing and I earn. If you weren't there for our land, I wouldn't be able to go out and deliver eggs, or Guoqing might not have the time to go to the factory. Our family's food and drink all depend on you! Doesn't this count as money?
Including at the beginning, when you went up the mountains and down the rivers to dig bamboo shoots and catch fish, wasn't what you sold real cash?
Didn't I ask you back then if you wanted to split it up? You said no, you had no place to spend it, and then we kept it together. If you need money, just tell me directly, I'll give it to you anytime!
By the way, she has already started budgeting in her mind how much she can earn in the second half of the year. The total with her savings will definitely be more than 15,000. Anyway, there will be enough money by the time they start building the house. If Dani and the others need money urgently, even if more is not enough, borrowing two or three thousand will definitely be no problem.
But Liang Shengdi shook her head and didn't really want the money that Chen Chunhua had mentioned before.
"That's just small change. Bamboo shoots cost a few cents a pound, fish cost a few cents a pound. It doesn't add up to much. Besides, I know I eat a lot."
Old Mrs. Liang was too lazy to count when she was doing things, but once she started working, she could still count the basics.
She needs meat, eggs, and rice, doesn't that mean money? My daughter-in-law has made at least four sets of clothes for her throughout the year, doesn't that mean money?
Her quilt has been completely replaced twice. The new quilt I replaced her with the winter before last weighed six kilograms and kept her warm all winter. Isn't this money?
Guoqing said that they are a family, so something is closely connected, oh, interests, that is, money, anyway, they are inseparable.
Even though Yulan and Guoqing are siblings, they both have their own families, so they are two families after all. She eats at her son's house, so she can't use her son's money to subsidize her daughter, right?
This is not a direct subsidy to the daughter, but a subsidy to the granddaughter.
Once or twice might be fine, but if it happens too often, even if Chunhua doesn't mind, Guoqing won't be happy. Their farm has already helped Wu Ni and the others a lot, and they can't let them cut into their own flesh anymore.
So she wanted to find another way to make money. Even if she couldn't support Dani right now, what about in the future?
In the future, whether it is her granddaughter or her grandchildren who have something to do, as long as she has money in her own pocket, as long as she wants, can't she skip a few middle-level appointments and directly take out money to help them out? How much trouble can that save!
This is what is meant by "If you have food in your hands, you will not be worried."
Chen Chunhua opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. This was actually quite embarrassing.
She also knew that farming was not profitable, but it was not true that farming was not profitable. The main reason was that farming was not profitable here.
Unlike the vast territory of the north, where a family could get dozens or hundreds of acres, or even several hectares, they had so little land here that they couldn't use large agricultural machinery. The little they grew was enough to feed the family, and if the whole family farmed, they would only be able to fill their stomachs.
In fact, she really wanted to rent out her land. She didn't even care about the rent, as long as the family paid their grain tax. The money they earned was enough to buy food. If she rented out her land, she would have more time to think about starting other businesses.
But the key point is that you still need food coupons to buy food. They have rural household registration and cannot be compared with those in the city who eat public grain.
Even if a few village-run enterprises issued tickets, they were mostly other tickets, including meat tickets and sugar tickets, but few grain tickets, because every family had land to grow food.
Except for those who were on official business trips, such as when Lin Guoqing was on a business trip, he would be given a few food coupons. No one else had any. No matter how hard Lin Guoqing tried, he couldn't gather enough food coupons for seven people.
So there is no choice but to farm this land.
It will take at least another two years of planting before they will gradually liberalize grain prices and cancel grain coupons, otherwise you will starve to death even if you hold on to the money.
Chen Chunhua and Liang Shengdi broke down their words and then sighed.
"Mom, I also want to not farm if I can, but the key is that if I don't farm now, there will be no food at home... Don't worry about Dani, when we come back from National Day, we can discuss it again. What's wrong with borrowing some money?
Dani and the others are seriously building a house, which is a big deal, so borrowing money is normal. Who wouldn't be in debt when building a house? "
Chen Chunhua said it as a matter of course, without even remembering that she and Lin Guoqing were planning to "pay the full amount".
Liang Shengdi was still a little confused, and then she remembered that Sanni had taken some odd jobs during her busy schedule, which inspired her a little bit of inspiration.
"The other day I saw people rowing boats into the village to collect chicken feathers, duck feathers, and turtle shells. Hey, when I'm not busy, why don't I go catch some fish or shrimp? You could sell them and make a lot of money, right? But I don't want to walk. It's too troublesome and I'd waste time on the road."
She still remembered riding her tricycle to the mountains to pick bamboo shoots. That load of bamboo shoots would have replaced her walking several times! Transportation is so important because it can carry a lot of things and saves time and effort going back and forth!
"Hey, Chunhua, how much does it cost to build a boat? How about you buy me a boat?"

Farming doesn't make money, and writing novels doesn't make money either. Oh, oh, oh, it's the end of the month, is there any kind-hearted person who can give me some money for the electricity bill?
