Chapter 417: Settling Dad
Huang Xinran couldn't help but laugh at this.
Isn't this the situation that will happen in a few years?
The land in the countryside is all abandoned and no one is planting it. Is it because the people who abandoned the land are unwilling to plant it? No, it is because the profit from planting cannot sustain the cost expenditure, so naturally the number of people planting the land is decreasing year by year.
"Dad, working in the fields every day is too hard, I don't want you to suffer that much..."
Huang Xinran softened his tone and spoke slowly.
Huang Zhiye shuddered at this, and his hard mouth softened: "Doing farm work is hard..."
Yes, how can farm work not be hard?
Especially in their hometown, because of the hilly terrain, it is impossible to use agricultural machinery. The advantage of this hilly terrain is that it has become the best shelter for people in the past few thousand years of war and chaos, blessing generations of people to reproduce and thrive. But it is also this terrain that severely restricts the progress of mechanization. Compared with the vast arable land in the north, this agricultural model that relies solely on slash-and-burn farming is indeed a serious waste of human resources.
"I'm not. Haven't I been taking care of your second brother? Anyway, your second brother is well now. I'll go find a job and make some money."
Huang Zhiye finally softened his stance.
Huang Xinran couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, Dad, I'll do as you say!"
The health of my second brother Huang Hongyuan has improved greatly, and even in the last few checkups, he has reached the standard of a normal person. Huang Hongyuan himself can also sense the improvement of his health, and he has discussed with Huang Xinran that he plans to do something within his ability.
Not surprisingly, it was opposed by everyone.
But in the end, he still found himself a job looking after the warehouse without telling Huang Xinran and others.
In his words, there are few people coming and going near the warehouse, and he does not need to come into contact with people often. He has a fixed working time every day, and there is no better job that suits him better.
Huang Xinran had no choice but to agree to his request.
But I went back and found the owner of the warehouse. After some operation, I let my second brother go to the warehouse closest to the back. The warehouse was full of large items such as machinery. Usually, it didn't need much care and few people went there.
Huang Hongyuan went to work happily, and after a few days, he was very satisfied.
He felt very satisfied as long as he could be self-sufficient.
What's more, he also has subsidies from the state, which together should not cause too much of a burden on his family.
Because Huang Hongyuan went to work, Huang Zhiye had nothing to do. After returning to his hometown, he wandered around the streets, hoping that he could find a suitable job.
He looked for a job but either the people thought he was too old or he thought his workplace was too far away. Finally, he found a small shop not far from the courtyard where Huang Xinran lived and rented it to open a breakfast shop.
This made Huang Xinran laugh.
If dad could really open a breakfast shop, maybe mom would be willing to come over.
So she ran to the shop actively.
For this purpose, he even went to find the owner of the shop several times and bought the shop at a high price.
Because the owner of this shop was reluctant to sell at one point, the price of this shop is really high, almost half the price of nearby shops.
But Huang Xinran was happy to spend the money.
After buying the shop, Huang Xinran handed the property deed to her father, saying it was a token of support for him. "Dad, I can't help you with anything else. But this is no problem. The only thing is that this shop will be yours in the future. You will also save money on rent, and it can be regarded as a support from your daughter."
"Ah, this... no no no, you really bought this shop? Oh, my God..."
Huang Zhiye simply couldn't believe his eyes and looked at the property deed for a long time. If it wasn't for his name on it, he wouldn't have believed it was true.
"Dad, don't be surprised. Take it and keep it away. When you open the business and make money, you have to buy me a gift." Huang Xinran said deliberately.
"Okay, whatever gift you want is fine!"
Huang Zhiye had already obtained the title deed, what else could he say? He was very happy, but at the same time he could not help but sigh: "You are such a fool... You don't use your money like this. I will give the title deed to your mother later, and she will give you the money. It's settled!"
"I don't want it. I told you it's for you."
"You have to accept it even if you don't want it. You said you would give it to me, but you didn't even check whether your son-in-law has any objection. Even if he doesn't have any objection, you still have two children who are growing up day by day. They are my precious grandchildren, you can't treat them badly!"
Could she let her child down?
Apart from other things, she has lost count of how many properties are in the names of her two children. Anyway, she bought whatever she saw suitable and has not counted them carefully until now.
"Don't worry, Dad! I won't let them down no matter who I let down."
She's her own child, how could she not love him?
After work in the evening, Huang Zhiye happily announced that he had earned more than 100 yuan that day. This money also meant that he could be self-sufficient in the future.
Of course, he did not forget to call Liu Zhaodi and tell her that Huang Xinran had bought the shop.
As expected, he was scolded by Liu Zhaodi again.
Despite all the scolding, Liu Zhaodi was still very happy.
After discussing it with Huang Zhiye, she finally decided that she should stay in H Province for two more years to earn more money.
Whether Liu Zhaodi runs a canteen or a small commodity shop, the profits are considerable.
Moreover, since these businesses have been in business for a long time, it is very easy for her to manage them now, so she naturally doesn't want to give them up.
In Liu Zhaodi's words, whether she wanted to leave more money for the younger generation or leave some memories for her children, she would have to spend money. To spend money, she would need money. It would be better to stay there for two more years. When she could no longer work, she would go back to the shop and work with Huang Zhiye and live together in old age.
Huang Zhiye finally agreed.
Huang Xinran wanted to persuade her mother, but it was no use, so she had to give up.
Huang Xinran delegated almost all the work at hand, except that he had to go to the hospital once a week to help patients who had been exposed to nuclear radiation, then spend one day at the research institute, and finally spend another day to provide research materials to the hospital.
By this calculation, she only needs to work three days a week.
However, although it sounds easy, the reality is far from that.
Although she is no longer as tired as before, there are many times when she sees the opportunity to make money right in front of her and she can't just give up.
For example, the sales of this pager, and the gradual rise of land transactions and commercial housing construction in various places, etc., she can't just sit back and enjoy the benefits. Even if she doesn't go to the scene in person, she can't do without remote control.
