Qiao Haisheng: "I went to check on the corn today, and it's starting to get old. In another 20 days, we'll harvest the corn and put it in the yard to dry, so we won't have to watch over it."
Right now, doing business is more important. If we can really do it well, we don't need to farm next year.
Now, you can take your child to visit them anytime you want, and come back to rest when you're tired; you don't have to keep an eye on them all the time.
"Ah! What will we eat if we don't farm?" Li Meihua glared at her husband. "Doing business can make money, but the land at home is our root. How can we not farm it?"
Qiao Haisheng laughed: "Meihua, you just can't see things clearly. How much money can you make from farming? It's just enough for everyone to barely make ends meet. But doing business is different. Maybe with this opportunity, our family can turn our lives around."
He wasn't a conservative man who wanted to stay home and farm for his entire life; he just hadn't had the right opportunities before. His daughter selling vegetable pancakes opened a new door for him; he realized there were other ways to make money, and for his child's sake, he was willing to take the plunge. Even if he failed, he'd only lose some money, and at worst, life would be a little harder.
The old man made the decision, and Tao Chunfang had nothing to say. She was filled with longing to work in the town, finally free from having to stay at home every day.
The plan was unanimously approved. Qiao Xiaoni drew a line on the paper: "Dad, take a look at this picture. We can use our handcart and an old bicycle to make a simple cart. This will save us a lot of time going back and forth to town."
Qiao Haisheng looked at the drawings his daughter handed him and his eyes lit up: "That's a good idea. When you go to town tomorrow, see if there are any used bicycles for sale. Buy one and modify it according to your drawing."
Li Meihua thought that buying an old bicycle would cost a lot of money, and couldn't help but say, "The kind of bicycle your husband uses costs a lot of money. I think it's better to use a handcart for now. Even if it wastes a little time on the road, we can get up earlier in the morning and it won't delay anything."
Qiao Haisheng waved his hand in rejection: "No, that would waste a lot of time. This money won't be wasted. Even if the business fails in the future, this car can still be sold for a good price. Why didn't I think of that before? Our daughter's education has really paid off! Her brain is full of good ideas. God has finally opened his eyes."
"Our Qiao family can finally turn things around!"
Li Meihua thought about how the old man was the landlord's son, who had kept quiet and lived a miserable life at home all these years. Now that he finally had an opportunity, how could he possibly let it slip by? Well, everyone had agreed, and she couldn't stop him...
With joyous news at home, Qiao Haisheng waved his hand and said, "Catch that rooster in the house and kill it. Let's celebrate today."
"Great! Let's kill the chicken and eat it!" Qiao Manli clapped her hands with joy.
Li Meihua was a little reluctant to kill the rooster: "Old man, killing a chicken is too extravagant. Why not fry some eggs instead? Our business has only just begun, and we don't know how it will turn out yet."
"No, we have to kill a chicken tonight. We haven't had meat at home in a long time. Let's make it a good supplement for the children and make a lot of soup. We also need to borrow the village chief's car for a few days. I'll bring him a bowl of soup as a way of returning the favor."
