After finishing his work, Hua Youcai went to the convenience store humming a tune he made up, chatted with his old brothers, and then went home to sleep.
Thinking about what my daughter said, I would use the money from growing and selling the vegetables to buy him a TV to entertain him.
Hey, what are you buying? It costs more than 400 yuan, and you need a ticket.
You can do anything with this money.
He was happy that his daughter was thinking of him, and glanced at the watch on her wrist with joy. It was convenient to have a watch, as it could tell what time it was at a glance, which was much more accurate than looking at the sun.
He wore it one day and his son wore it the next. At that time, there were only two watches in the store that were reasonably priced. My daughter said she would buy one if she found a suitable one later.
The store was very busy at this time, so I greeted everyone and found a stool to sit down.
Everyone was very concerned about how the wasteland of the Hua family was being renovated. When Hua Youcai was not here, Old Man Liu was surrounded and asked a lot of questions.
Old Man Liu didn't know anything, so he just helped turn the land over.
"How's the land?"
"I've made some fertilizer, and I'll try planting some in the first year, and then slowly grow it..."
"You two are planting fifteen acres, and some of you are tired."
"That's right. It's okay to work so hard and get a good harvest, but this land is terrible."
"When our team was planting it, it was terrible..."
It's not pleasant to hear, but it's true.
Hua Youcai was also worried at first, thinking that he and his son would get hurt from taking care of these fields.
There is always a way when you reach the mountain.
Just take turning the soil for example. He didn’t even do anything and it was done with just fifteen dollars.
The family meeting discussed whether to spend fifteen dollars to hire someone to do it or do it themselves.
At the family meeting, all three expressed their opinions.
Finally, several options were identified. One was that it was completely manual, with two men at home doing the work one shovel at a time.
The second is to buy cows and plows, and do the work yourself after that.
The third is to hire someone to do the job directly.
In the first option, the two of them might work on it for ten days or half a month. In this time, as my daughter said, the vegetables would grow very tall.
The original words are that the time cost is huge.
The second option is also fine, but you still have to spend time buying it, and choose the cows carefully, after all, they are used for farm work.
The third one is of course the fastest, so my daughter chose this one.
If you want speed, use the third option to turn the land first, and then buy the ox and plow when you find the right ones, after all, you will need them in the future.
My daughter also gave a general idea about the planning of the fifteen acres of land.
This is just an initial idea, and I will gradually improve it and adjust it as I go along.
First build two greenhouses to experiment and see the effect of growing vegetables.
If everything goes well, keep covering it; if it fails to grow, give up.
If I try to grow something else, the worst that can happen is that I won’t grow anything.
Just fence it in and raise chickens or pigs. It's only fifty dollars a year and you won't lose money.
A circle of grapes are planted around the area, and another circle of fruit trees are planted inside the grape trellis, leaving a piece of land for growing grains, wheat and corn.
One piece of land is used to grow open-air vegetables, and one piece of land is used to grow other things.
Everything else is fair, anyone can plant whatever they want.
For example, Hua Fangfang wants to grow sunflowers, and he likes to eat sunflower seeds.
There are many flowers to be planted, and soybeans need to be planted, as beans can produce soybean oil.
Peanuts need to be planted and fried during the Chinese New Year. When guests come to our house, we just fry peanuts.
Peppercorns need to be planted, ginger and garlic need to be planted...
Hua Youcai wishes that all the food and things he uses at home can be planted without having to spend money to buy them.
Very good. Finally, the family meeting decided that any family member can plant whatever they want, not limited to other places.
Hua Youcai didn't say much. After chatting for a few minutes, he went home to sleep as he had a busy day tomorrow.
Just after taking two steps out of the door, he was stopped by Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao asked her husband to look after her grandson and hurried out.
"Big sister, what's up?"
"Fang Fang's father, there is something going on. Let's go to your house and talk."
Hua Youcai..., I can't say it here, I have to go to his house, why does it feel weird?
"Big sister, if you have anything to say, just talk here."
"If there is good news, I will go to your house and tell you."
Hua Youcai asked all the way but didn't get any answer.
Aunt Zhao looked at Hua Fangfang who opened the door and said, "Fangfang's father, Fangfang is such a sensible and obedient child."
Being praised for no apparent reason, the father and son looked at each other in confusion.
He praised the child, then the two greenhouses, and when he entered the house and saw Hua Yuanyuan, he praised her again.
"This shed is really nice, really big and solid."
"Oh, look at this girl, she's so pretty. She looks even prettier when she smiles."
Hua Yuanyuan stopped laughing halfway.
The brother and sister who were kicked out of the house by their father looked at the closed door in front of them, thoughtful.
Aunt Zhao was cracking melon seeds. "Fang Fang's father, your family is having a great time. The first month of the lunar year is almost over, and you still have melon seeds. My family ate all of them right after the Chinese New Year. It's like they've never eaten them before..."
"Ahem, big sister, what's going on? Why are you so mysterious? Just tell me straight out and don't keep us in suspense."
Aunt Zhao..., I haven't even started to keep you in suspense yet, but grown men are like this, they can't keep their cool.
"Okay, tell me straight. Is there any progress in your daughter's marriage?"
Hua Youcai was in a complicated mood and a little excited.
Finally someone comes to propose marriage to my daughter. See, it won’t be hard to find someone even if she gets divorced.
Hua Yuanyuan and Hua Fangfang held their breath in the outer room, tilted their ears, and listened attentively.
It's hard not to hear Aunt Zhao's voice clearly.
Hua Yuanyuan pouted and glared, as if to expect it. Seeing her brother's silly excited look, she dragged the man away.
Hua Fangfang tried his best to resist his elder sister. He wanted to listen, but was broken by his elder sister's tickle.
When I arrived at my elder sister's room and sat on her kang, I felt happy again.
Why are my sister's bed sheets so clean? They look like new and have never been used.
No wonder my sister urged me to take a shower. It was the same every time I took a shower on Monday. He and his dad were so cute that they were greasy.
Dad said all men are like this.
"Sister, why don't you like to get dirty?"
"If you wash your hair and neck every day, you can wipe your body and it won't be dirty."
“…Forget it.”
"Hua Fangfang, you won't wash even if you find a wife in the future? Even if your wife despises you, you won't wash?"
"Sister, what you mean is that my wife also washes like you every day?"
Hua Yuanyuan..., not bad, very good, my brother is getting smarter and smarter.
"What if I wash it? What if I don't wash it?"
"If my wife washes, I will wash. If my wife doesn't wash, I won't wash either."
Hahaha--
Hua Fangfang looked at her elder sister rolling on the kang with laughter... She didn't know what was so funny. Was he wrong?
"Sister, stop laughing. What kind of in-laws did Aunt Zhao tell you about?"
…
The brother and sister were talking nonsense here, and their father's face was getting more and more unpleasant over there.
The man that Aunt Zhao was talking about had just lost his wife last winter. She died of complications during childbirth and left behind a little girl.
Twenty-eight, have a job, get paid every month, I heard that he is very popular.
"Big sister, let me tell you something, my daughter can only find someone to take care of the baby?"
Hua Youcai didn't have any other meaning, I really don't understand.
Seeing the old man being so honest, Aunt Zhao didn't know what to say.
