What kind of flower can Chen Chunhua come up with?
A girl this young could only think of raising chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs after school, and selling them for money when they were older. You couldn't just ask a few ten-year-old girls to go with them to sell vegetables, could you?
Or follow Liang Shengdi up the mountains and down the rivers? That was only when I wasn't in school.
After Chen Chunhua said this, Lin Guoqing actually started to think about it.
"It's not impossible to raise some poultry... Just buy some young ones, the only problem is where to raise them." They definitely can't be raised at the Ma family's house. That would be like eating the Ma family's feed, and the eggs they lay would also belong to the Ma family. When the money is exchanged for them, it will still be kept by Old Lady Ma.
Chen Chunhua: "...We can't afford to keep them anyway." Didn't you see the chickens all over the backyard!
Lin Guoqing turned to Chen Chunhua and blinked wildly.
Chen Chunhua: ...
There is a small river behind the Shen family's house. Originally, one could walk to the river from the back of the yard, but it is said that after Lin Yulan was born, old man Lin was afraid that the child would fall into the river, so he spent half a year baking bricks and pasting walls bit by bit to surround the house.
When Lin Shuying was born, Lin Guoqing had it specially consolidated, so now people have to go around outside the yard to get there.
The river wasn't big, about the same size as a creek, and you could occasionally catch a couple of snails. During the dry season, even the fish wouldn't come here. Liang Shengdi didn't bother to fish there, and other people didn't come here to wash clothes. But now, Lin Guoqing had his eye on it.
"You mean to build a fence here? Won't the villagers talk about it?" Chen Chunhua looked around, a little unsure.
Lin Guoqing measured the area with his arm and said nonchalantly, "This little space can't be lived in. It's right outside our backyard. If not us, who else can it belong to?"
He planned to build a duck house here. Ducks are easier to raise than chickens. You only need to spend some effort in the first few days, and then you can let them roam free. They can go out to find food by themselves and return to the nest on time, which saves a lot of trouble.
Of course, someone still has to take care of her, and he wants to throw this job to Wu Ni and Liu Ni.
"We definitely don't have time to take care of these animals. Mom is also very busy. The chickens in the yard have already been taken care of by our eldest daughter and second daughter before and after school. If we want to raise ducks, there will be no one left."
At this point, he suddenly felt that the fact that Lin Yulan and her husband had many children was, from a certain tricky perspective, somewhat useful.
Or maybe it's because his two little ones are too young.
Chen Chunhua raised her eyebrows, "Are you going to hire them to work?"
Which crime is more serious, this capitalist behavior or speculation and profiteering?
She never expected that her man's mind had become quicker and bolder over the past six months, and he could even come up with such a bad idea?
Lin Guoqing snorted, "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm not a landlord, how could I dare to hire them? I'm just an uncle, thinking I can help out."
His idea was that his family would pay for the construction of the duck house and the purchase of ducklings, and then the Ma sisters would take care of the ducks. The money would be considered a loan to them, and he would return it to them when the ducks laid eggs or when they were sold.
So what benefits did they get? Yes, he counted the small reward of two taels of grain coupons for one pound of eggs. If he could cover the entire year's grain coupons just by selling eggs, he would be very excited.
Chen Chunhua rolled her eyes. She had just praised him, but now she wanted to say that he was timid. He had put in so much effort, but in the end he was starving for just a few food coupons.
"In the end, you might just be able to pay off your debts by taking care of the ducks, and you'll only earn a few grain coupons by giving them to the ducks. By the end of your business, both those who invested money and those who worked hard will feel like they've lost out."
Lin Guoqing choked, stiffening his neck and said unconvincedly, "Then what do you say? You can't just give them away for free, right?"
He still understood the principle of gratitude and resentment. In the countryside, people are often kind enough to help you, and in the end, you just take it for granted. So he didn't intend to do this favor for nothing, even if it was his sister's child.
Chen Chunhua thought for a while and said, "Let's split the profits. We pay the money and they work hard. This place is also ours. You will be the one to exchange it for money and tickets at the food station. So... let's split it 60% and 40% respectively. We are relatives after all." Otherwise, she would like to split it 80% and 20%.
To put it bluntly, this is actually still hiring someone, but it's not the kind with a fixed salary. She doesn't know if it can be considered capitalist, but she tells others that it's her niece who comes to help her uncle's family.
Lin Guoqing scratched his head and said, "Then the return on our investment will be slow. Is this different from what I thought before?"
Chen Chunhua felt that this man was still a bit stupid, and glared at him unhappily, "According to your calculation, after Wu Ni and Liu Ni return the money to us, this duck house will have nothing to do with us, and we will only have that little bit of food stamp money.
But if you follow my way, the duck will lay eggs, and the eggs will lay ducks, and we will all get a share of the money we earn, you know? You big fool!
Lin Guoqing thought about it and it made some sense. He looked at his wife happily and said, "Ah, yes, you are right. I will do as you say, hehe."
Ever since the tea set was dug out, Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua haven't been night owls for a long time, except for taking turns selling vegetables in Guanqian Lane at night. Now they are playing in the mud again.
It’s not that this can’t be done during the day, but mainly because they are in a hurry. They work during the day and at night. They want to build the duck house quickly before the weather gets cold so that they can sell some duck meat before the New Year.
For this purpose, Lin Guoqing also opened a door in the backyard wall to facilitate entry and exit.
Lin Shugan and Lin Shuying are responsible for passing messages. Recently, they would wait at the door of the Ma family for Wu Ni and Liu Ni to come out and go to school together.
Old Mrs. Ma was originally very unhappy, but Dani and the others argued that the housework would still be done by someone else and the family would not have to pay for it, so why couldn't Dani and Liuni go to school?
This time, all the children were united. No matter how much they wanted to act like elders, they wouldn't fight with seven or eight children at once, right? Dani and the others were already so old. If they continued to fight, how would other families view them?
Lin Yulan was still a ball of cotton, saying that since they had to go to school, they should study hard and learn more, and then they would do their work when they got home. So now they would get up about an hour earlier every morning to wash the clothes for the family before going out.
I originally wanted to clean the house when I came back, but Sanni and Sini would finish the work in advance. When they came back, I would urge them to do their homework. Occasionally, when I was free, I would go over and ask what the words were. It was a good thing if I could learn one every day.
Lin Shuying said that her father was building a duck house recently and wanted them to help raise the ducks when the time comes. Wu Ni and Liu Ni were stunned for a long time.
————————————————————
Well, don't rush to help just because Lin Guoqing wants help.
He is not the kind of person who would give everything, but since they are all relatives and have a good relationship, he will definitely lend a hand if he can, and his family will not lose out.
