Hua Yuanyuan was telling Hao Li about the family's future arrangements. My brother had asked her about it some time ago, but she was not in the mood to do it.
Hao Li felt that she was too idle at home, so how could that be possible? She put this year's plan on the agenda.
The scale of the bun business is just like this for now, and there is no plan to expand the school.
We can lease another piece of wasteland and hire people to plant and harvest. It is also the simplest planting method. The crops grow naturally and do not need to be taken care of on a regular basis. It would be impossible to take care of so much land.
She had no plans to work in the fields as she was pregnant, and she had also considered the strategy for the soil.
Hao Li believed that his daughter-in-law inherited her love of farming from her father-in-law, who had said more than once that one did not have to be a good student but one had to know how to farm.
As long as the old farmers know how to farm, they will not starve to death.
My brother-in-law stopped studying after graduating from junior high school and stayed at home to learn farming from his father-in-law.
I haven't thought of any other way out, this is fine.
The land of the Hua family is no longer the same as the land of ordinary villagers, it has risen to a certain level.
After the old farmers paid their public taxes by farming, the rest was enough for their own food. The money they got from the extra grain was considered earned.
From leasing the land to reclaiming it, planting and harvesting, the Hua family needs money and needs to hire people.
Hua Youcai's calculation was a bit confusing, but when his daughter did the math for him, he was sure to make a profit.
He couldn't argue with his daughter, as her analysis was very logical and convincing.
The biggest risk of leasing wasteland is that crops will not grow on it. However, the Hua family has leased hundreds of acres of wasteland this year. Look at what is grown on the land, whether it is vegetables or grains, who can tell that this is wasteland that no one wants to grow crops on!
My daughter’s theory is that if you do sufficient preparation before planting, and if crops don’t grow, it’s not the fault of the soil, but God’s will not allow you to harvest.
Hua Youcai had no way of refutation of this statement.
Why? Because this is what he always talks about.
In the same land, sometimes the weather is good but the harvest is poor.
Sometimes it’s so dry that we can’t even water the crops, but the harvest is still pretty good.
He had no idea what to do when his daughter used her own words to stop him.
Hao Li watched as his wife said that she wanted to lease some land, and his father-in-law and brother-in-law started to get busy.
The troops were divided into two groups, the father-in-law went to find Village Chief Wang, and the brother-in-law went to Liuzhuangzi to find Liu Neng.
If Shili Village and Liuzhuangzi are gone, go to other villages and ask.
If there is any, focus on these two villages first. It will be easier to manage if the wasteland is concentrated together.
There are a lot of wastelands in every village. The existing land cannot be cultivated even if it is divided up, and the wasteland will only become more and more wasteland.
The contract for leasing wasteland basically follows the contract of Liuzhuangzi, which is similar but with slight differences.
After signing the contract, contact the tractor.
The tractor, which has been in long-term cooperation with the Hua family, is used for land reclamation as long as it does not delay the transportation of goods.
By hiring a few more vehicles, the Hua family basically took over all the vehicles in the surrounding villages and in the village as long as they had time.
The next thing is hiring people, which is even easier.
Who wouldn't want to earn three dollars a day and get three meals provided?
The Hua family calculated the price by the acre, three yuan per acre. After the tractor plowed the land deeply in the front, people were needed to follow up and do more detailed work at the back.
After drying for a few days, deep plow the soil again and then apply fertilizer.
I raised pigs for a year last year and the pig manure I saved came in handy.
…
After all this, the land reclamation work was completed in ten days.
At dinner that day, Hua Youcai drank the Maotai poured by his son-in-law and discussed with his eldest brother what to plant.
My daughter’s request is to plant wheat and corn. The crops planted now cannot delay the planting of autumn wheat, which will be ready by the end of September.
Hua Youwei was drinking good wine and eating delicious meat, but his good days were coming to an end. After the third brother's land was planted, it was time for them to withdraw.
He has also discovered in the past few months that he should not be embarrassed to eat, as the third brother's family does not lack this little food. Only when he eats well can he work well.
According to the old saying, they were the farmhands and the third brother was the rich landlord.
He is a farmhand, but he is worried about the landlord. Isn't that just meddling in other people's business? He has nothing better to do.
The bag that Xiao Fang received as his salary was bulging with money every day.
"Lao San, Lao Liu's family is growing cotton."
Speaking of the cash crop cotton, not many are grown in my hometown in Northeast China, but quite a lot are grown here.
The bedding and cotton clothes of the third brother’s family cost money to buy, so the more you grow them at home, the better.
Hua Youcai nodded, his elder brother was right, he planted everything he could.
"Brother, cotton can be planted."
I specially invited my eldest brother and his family to have dinner at my house today, thinking that I could ask my daughter and son-in-law to talk to them and get them to come over.
No matter how Hua Youcai asked his eldest brother, he wouldn't give a definite answer. The fourth brother then said he would listen to his eldest brother and go back to discuss it with the whole family.
I winked at my daughter, but there was no response, so I nudged her with my elbow.
The piece of pork ribs that Hua Yuanyuan had just picked up fell onto the table.
Flowers have talent...
Hao Li picked up the ribs on the table and put them in his own bowl, and then picked up another piece for his wife.
Hua Yuanyuan glanced at her father, took a big bite of pork ribs, and then spoke.
"Uncle, please go back and discuss it with your family, then write to me."
"Okay, we'll write a letter after we've discussed it."
Hua Youwei looked at the most promising child of the Hua family, who was much better than the third child, so the third child just grew older in vain.
Hua Youcai..., is that all?
It’s over before it even begins?
Hao Li also received instructions from his father-in-law. He couldn't just ignore it like his wife did, so he was thinking about how to say it better.
"Uncle, Dad is too busy here, you can help out a little bit..."
Hao Li's few honest words conveyed his point.
The fact that Hua’s stall is big but there are few people is indeed a big problem.
Hua Youwei also discovered that when you pay someone to do the work, it makes a difference whether the owner is there or not.
The Hua family has several stalls, but Yuanyuan is not showing up now.
The bun business is easy to deal with, but when it comes to farm work, if it’s not your own, you’ll want to slack off while working. This is human laziness.
The people working in the greenhouse worked very hard when they saw the flowers, as if they were doing it for them.
Hua Youwei and his three family members are essentially the same as the workers who work for pay, but they are different because they have the surname Hua.
They work harder and cannot be lazy or steal at all. It is more tiring than working for their own family.
So many eyes are watching you. You don't even do your own brother's job well, let alone others.
Working for the third brother will benefit both parties.
He also had concerns. The second brother's family didn't come this time. He and the fourth brother came here and made a lot of money. It would be difficult to make money if they went back this time.
After returning, the three families need to discuss who will come so that there won't be any estrangement among the brothers.
It’s really hard to talk about money.
When Hao Li came forward, Hua Youwei still gave a promise that someone would definitely come.
The status of each person in a family is different. Hao Li has more face than his father-in-law, as he is the only official in the Hua family.
