Chapter 353 Wan Shuang Proposes a Better Solution
Ergouzi took only ten days to harvest all the potatoes from Wan Laoer's more than 100 acres of land.
Because we had anticipated that the potato yield this year would be high, we did not expect that the final potato yield would be even greater than expected.
The potato yield per acre has now reached 1,800 kilograms, and the yield per acre of other people in the village has also reached 1,500 kilograms. It can be seen that this year is definitely a bumper year.
No one longs for a good harvest of grain more than the farmers. When the potatoes are harvested, many people kneel on the ground and cry bitterly, while others scoop up handfuls of soil and kiss them, as this is their roots.
While Ergouzi was helping to harvest potatoes, Wan Laoer was already busy as hell.
Every day a large number of people came to deliver potatoes, resulting in long queues in front of thousands of households.
Every day when Wan Laoer opened his eyes and opened the door, he would see someone waiting at the door.
Wan Shuang was also a little overwhelmed. It was already midnight after dinner that day. Wan Shuang found Wan Laoer, who was snoring loudly, and woke him up.
"Uncle, I have something to tell you."
Wan Laoer looked listless, with two bright dark circles under his eyes. He looked at Wan Shuang confusedly. It was obvious that his eyes were awake but his brain was not.
"Shuang, what's the matter? Can we talk about it tomorrow?"
"Uncle, we can't put this off any longer. If we put it off any longer, neither of us will be able to take it. I'm young and fine, but what about you? Look how exhausted you are these days?"
Wan Shuang also felt sorry for Wan Laoer.
Wan Lao Er had no choice but to sit up, rub his hair, yawn and say, "You talk, Second Uncle is listening."
"Uncle, starting tomorrow, we will post a notice at the door, saying that we will collect the goods by region in the future. We will divide all the villages in the town into areas, mark them with numbers, and tell them which area will be delivered every day. We will let them collect all the goods at once and deliver them to us. They will keep their own accounts, and we will only collect the total amount and settle the money together, and let them go back and divide the money among themselves. This way, our workload will be reduced, and you won't have to deal with so many people. They are too scattered now."
Wan Laoer was about to fall asleep, but after hearing Wan Shuang's words, all his sleepiness disappeared and he suddenly patted Wan Shuang's shoulder.
"Oh, my nephew is really smart. This is a good idea. Let's do as you say. You can write a detailed plan and discuss it with Zhengyang. You are young and have many ideas. I think this is a good idea."
Wan Laoer’s sleepiness was gone at this moment.
Wan Shuang nodded, with dark circles under his eyes, and prepared to write down his ideas overnight.
"Shuang, you're still growing, don't work so hard, just find time to write tomorrow, and take a rest when you need one, otherwise you won't be able to marry a good wife."
Wan Shuang was teased by Wan Lao Er, but he was not shy. Instead, he smiled generously and said, "A real man should establish his career first. Otherwise, even if I start a family, I will let others suffer with me. This is not what I want. I want to be like my eldest brother. Although I can't become a general, I also want to achieve something. Second uncle, you should rest early. I am young and recover quickly. You should take good care of yourself."
Wan Laoer was instead taught a lesson by Wan Shuang, and gave a helpless smile.
"This kid has thought clearly about his whole life at such a young age. He is more clear-headed than we were at that time."
Wan Ersao turned over and covered the quilt that Xiao Fubao had kicked off. She whispered, "Quan'er and Shuang'er didn't say it, but they definitely know how their mother died. Even if the eldest sister-in-law is wrong, the children will always feel that a part of their family affection is missing without their mother. No matter how good we are to them, there is still a layer of distance between us. They can make plans for themselves, which means they have their own ideas, so we don't have to worry about them."
"Humph, it's better not to have a mother like that. If it were me, I wouldn't want to have a mother like that. Tell me honestly, if the eldest sister-in-law was still alive and Quan'er was successful now, what would she do? Wouldn't she show off to the whole village? She might even go to Quan'er and cause trouble for him. It's their blessing to not have a mother like that anymore."
Wan Laoer said this with a pout, then turned around and fell asleep.
Wan Ersao shook her head secretly, thinking that things in this world are really hard to say.
Before daybreak, Guihua got up to sweep the yard and feed the chickens, geese and rabbits. This took her half an hour, and she also had to clean the chicken coop and rabbit cage.
Wan Ersao didn't let Guihua enter the kitchen, as she did all the work in the kitchen. So Guihua got up early and usually took care of the chickens and rabbits. Now she had one more thing to do: take a stroll around the workshop opposite.
But these days, Guihua got up early but did not go to the workshop to take a look as she did before, because she was afraid that as soon as she opened the door, she would see people delivering potatoes, and she also wanted Wan Laoer and the others to rest for a while.
Just as Guihua finished playing with the rabbit, she saw Wan Shuang had also gotten up.
"Second brother, why did you get up so early today? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Guihua followed Fubao and called all the brothers in the family in order.
Wan Shuang walked to the well and wanted to get a bucket of water to wash his face. Guihua hurried over, picked up the ladle, scooped some water and put it in the basin.
"Second brother, the water is ready, but it's a little cold. Do you want hot water?"
"No need. It's just right for me to wake up." Wan Shuang yawned and scooped up the cool well water to rub it on his face. Under the stimulation of the well water, the remaining sleepiness disappeared without a trace.
"It's so comfortable, Guihua, you get up so early every day, aren't you sleepy?"
Wan Shuang only realized how capable Guihua was during these days at home. She was almost always the first one to get up in the family, followed by her second aunt.
"I'm not sleepy. I'm very energetic." Guihua grinned and poured the water that Wan Shuang had used to wash his face under the jujube tree in the yard to water the tree.
"Guihua, can you make paste? I'm going to use it to post notices." Wan Shuang asked after wiping his face.
"Yes, this is very simple. Every year during the Spring Festival, when we put up Spring Festival couplets at home, my stepmother asks me to make the paste. I'll do it right away. It will be ready in no time."
Osmanthus ran away smiling, as if she would be happy if she was asked to work.
By the time Wan Shuang copied the revised plan from last night, Guihua had already prepared the paste.
"Second brother, look, is this paste cooked?"
Guihua brought half a bowl of paste and stood at the door calling Wan Shuang.
Wan Shuang came out with the notice, took a look at it, and praised: "Guihua is really capable, she cooked it very well. Let's go out with Second Brother."
Guihua smiled and followed Wan Shuang out.
As soon as the door was opened, Wan Shuang saw a long line outside in the dim light of day. What touched Wan Shuang was that no matter how early these people came, they would not take the initiative to knock on the door. Some of them dozed off against the wall, while others brought a bag, spread it on the ground, and continued to sleep, all for the purpose of getting in the line and selling the potatoes in their hands as soon as possible.
