The next day, after the triplets went to school, Su Yan took her eldest son Lu Yiming back to the city to pay the salaries of the craftsmen who were decorating the courtyard house.
Su Yan thought it would take a year to completely renovate the courtyard house, but who knew it would be completed ahead of schedule, with only three days of work to finish.
Su Yan was worried because her triplets were about to go to school, so she asked Lu Yiming to look after them for the last few days and do some finishing work.
Looking at the newly renovated courtyard, Su Yan finally smiled happily. Lu Yiming was also very happy. This was their own home. Not only was it several times bigger than the courtyard his grandfather had promised him, but the newly renovated one was simply stunning.
Her mother actually asked someone to build a small rockery in the east yard, a small fish pond in the west yard, and a glass greenhouse in the front yard.
"Mom, when will these peonies bloom?"
"It blooms in April and May, but there are four-season roses planted near the screen wall."
"Mom, I want to plant some gardenias in the yard because they are very fragrant. Next spring I will go up the mountain to dig some and plant them here."
"You can do it as you see fit. If there's not enough space to plant, you can go to the flower and bird market and buy flower pots.
You can stay here for the next few days. I'll come back on the last day. You can pull out all the peppers in your garden and sow some radish seeds so you can stew mutton with radishes in the winter."
"Okay, Mom, you go back! I'll stay here. If I have time, I'll cook for myself. If I don't have time, I'll go to grandma's house for a meal."
Su Yan left Lu Yiming alone in the city and came back by herself. The first thing she did when she came back was to go to the space warehouse to take inventory.
This time, except for fresh fruits and dried fruits, we donated a lot of other things. It was a big donation this time.
After taking inventory, she went up the mountain to collect all the pears and apples that she had not picked in time. After collecting the pears and apples, she went to the tea mountain to collect all the tea seeds and dried them on the main road in the space.
The tangerines are not yellow yet, and the sugar oranges are even less yellow, so don't worry about them for now. Although the red dates are all red, Su Yan didn't collect them to let them dry naturally.
Almost all the vegetables in the fields were donated, leaving only a few dozen winter melons, 3,000 kilograms of pumpkins to feed livestock, and hundreds of kilograms of red peppers to make chili sauce and dried chilies. Three acres each of chives, scallions, and garlic remained untouched.
Su Yan took advantage of her free time to plant some winter and spring vegetables, such as lettuce, cabbage, white radish, carrots, baby cabbage, kohlrabi, cauliflower, red cabbage, Shanghai greens, Chinese mustard greens, onions, mustard greens, cabbage, lettuce, celery, cilantro...
Su Yan took out all the seeds that were available in the warehouse. She found that there was still half a pound of okra and a pound of artichoke seeds in the warehouse. These should be planted in spring and harvested in summer. Isn't it too late to plant them now?
Next spring I must plant a few okra plants and a few dozen artichokes so that he can taste these two unique vegetables.
During these three days, Su Yan was either planting vegetables in the fields or fermenting farmyard manure in the space. This time, she planted twelve acres of vegetables with more than twenty varieties.
In short, they planted some of everything, the least being two or three mu of land, and the most being one or two mu.
Doesn’t her son Yiming want to do business? She plans to wholesale the vegetables in the space to his son and let her son sell them himself. The profits will naturally belong to him.
When he takes the college entrance exam or goes abroad to study, he can spend this private money.
Su Yan planned to raise more chickens and ducks, leaving the ones in the space for her son Yiming to sell during the Lunar New Year. She also saved the chicken and duck eggs; as long as they were kept in the space or incubated under a lamp, they wouldn't spoil much.
After three busy days, Su Yan returned to the city to inspect the work and paid the remaining material and labor costs.
Then he took Lu Yiming to a tricycle store to buy a tricycle. Of course, after buying the tricycle, he locked it directly in the courtyard.
Looking at the brand new tricycle, Lu Yiming was very excited. "Mom, is this tricycle really for me?"
"Well, this is the first money I invested in you. I believe that if you work hard, you can earn several tricycles a year."
Don’t be fooled by the cheapness of vegetables. Some are only one or two cents per pound. You can make a lot of money by riding a small tricycle and selling vegetables from door to door. Even if you go out two or three times a day, you can make a lot of money.
After her son finishes this year, she will let him take the college entrance examination next year. She believes that with her son's learning ability, it will not be a big deal for him to go to an average university, and if he works harder, he will have no problem getting into a key university.
"Mom, this car won't get stolen if it's left here, right?"
"What are you talking about? Our front and back doors are locked, and the wall is so high, who could have stolen it? But we're worried it might get wet in the rain, so we'd better push it to the front porch."
"Mom, why don't we ride it back to the compound so I can pick up my younger siblings from school every day. Dad isn't home yet anyway, so I can't sneak out to sell vegetables now."
"It's too conspicuous. Let's not ride back yet. We can talk about this later. Let's go to the market and buy some meat. I'll make you something delicious tonight."
"Mom, I want to eat the braised pig's trotters you made, but there are no pig's trotters for sale this afternoon. How about we buy a chicken and eat it back?"
"We have a chicken that has been killed at home. Let's buy some other things. We'll buy whatever we can find. We'll go home early today."
"good."
Lu Yiming pushed the tricycle into the corridor and tied it to the pillar with a long iron chain. Su Yan knew the tricycle would not be stolen, but seeing her son's serious face, she just smiled and did not stop him.
Su Yan took Lu Yiming to buy some vegetables and took the bus back. Lu Yiming also took the opportunity to find out about the current prices.
When he got home, Lu Yiming said excitedly, "Mom, eggs sold outside are five cents each, and in the countryside, large eggs cost four cents each, and small eggs cost three cents each.
If I earn one cent per egg, I can earn one dollar from selling one hundred eggs, right? If I can sell two hundred eggs a day, I can earn two dollars a day, which means sixty dollars a month."
“That’s true, but no one dares to resell them openly, and people they don’t know won’t sell their eggs to you.
Yiming, there's no rush, take your time. Don't talk to your grandfather about this, or he'll say you've been blinded by money at such a young age, and only see profit."
"Life is inseparable from money. The rich and powerful naturally have more friends. The world is bustling with people, all for profit; the world is bustling with people, all for profit. Life is nothing more than the pursuit of fame and fortune.
Those who claim to be indifferent to fame and fortune, don't they need clothes to wear and food to eat? Mom, don't worry! Even if I pursue money and fame and fortune, I won't lose my conscience and do something immoral.
"I've told you everything, and I hope you can keep your original intention. Don't ruin your future for money."
"Got it, Mom, I'll cook dinner tonight!"
"good."
