When Mo Yuan's family returned home, they celebrated as if it were New Year's Day.
Come to think of it, we didn't have this much wealth during the New Year celebrations of the past. These days, let alone having enough to eat...
Being able to eat meat whenever I feel like it is heavenly!
My family is all here today. I just got back from the fields, and I'm in a great mood.
Everyone's face was filled with a happy smile. Led by their eldest sister-in-law Chen Qiaoyun, their second sister Hongxia and Lin Xue went to help with the cooking.
Meanwhile, Mo Yuan and his two sons sat at the table, drinking and chatting over a plate of fried fish.
This liquor was purchased with Mo Yuan's help from the county's supply and marketing cooperative; along with the tobacco leaves, it was considered a treasure by Mo Youshan.
I don't usually take it out easily. Even when I'm tired and want to relax, I only take a small sip.
But today, Mo Youshan was so happy that he made an exception and called his two sons over to drink with him.
Mo Yuan was not qualified in the past.
Mo Gang could occasionally keep Mo Yuan company, but now that Mo Yuan is married and has accomplished so much, in everyone's eyes...
They are no longer children, but adults.
That means it can only be served at the dinner table!
Mo Youshan picked up a small fish with his chopsticks and took a sip of wine.
Savoring the delicious food as it blossoms on my taste buds, I felt completely relaxed!
The atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious at that moment, but the moment Mo Youshan opened his mouth, it had nothing to do with food.
It even ruined the atmosphere!
"Mo Yuan, now that the land has been allocated, who wouldn't want a good harvest from their crops? The pig manure from your pig farm will become a treasure. Don't waste it. Save it, dry it properly, and after composting, it will be excellent fertilizer!"
Mo Yuan never expected his father to suddenly say such a thing while they were eating.
But he still answered seriously, "Dad, don't worry, what farmer would dare to waste this stuff? We've kept it all!"
Mo Youshan was still worried. "We can't be careless. We have to keep a close eye on it. If not, we need to find someone to watch it closely. We can't let anyone steal it!"
Mo Yuan nodded in agreement, while his mind wandered to other things.
All of these pigs, except those intended for breeding, need to be castrated.
Otherwise, it will easily affect the growth!
I'll be busy planting corn these next couple of days, so I probably won't have time.
Once the seeds are sown, I need to take care of this matter during a break from the busy farming season!
"Dad, today's land allocation is a big deal. It's fine as long as the family is here, but tomorrow, let my brother and the others set up their stall. They're losing so much money every day!"
Mo Gang, standing to the side, nodded repeatedly; he had already tasted the sweetness of doing business.
"Yes, yes, Dad, it's heartbreaking to see money slip away like this! How about Qiaoyun and I go tomorrow? Aunt Wang and the others can help us out! We can't let the business fall through!"
He knew that it was the busy farming season and his family was short-handed, but he really didn't want to let the money slip by!
Mo Youshan took a sip of wine. "But we're farmers, we can't neglect the farming work. The land has just been allocated, and everyone's eager to work hard. The work in our fields is also quite heavy! I'm afraid I won't be able to manage without you two. It wouldn't be good if we missed the planting season! And what about Gouzi's family? They're just a widow and her child; we have to help them out too!"
"This...is..."
Mo Gang wanted to say something more, but Mo Yuan stopped him.
"Dad, I have an idea. I think the business can't stop. After all, we can't lose the reputation and old customers we've built up. We still need my older brother and sister-in-law to run the stall. How about we hire a few people to help out? We'll provide meals. If all else fails, we can pay them! It won't cost much..."
This idea caught Mo Gang's eye. Strong laborers in the countryside couldn't earn many work points a day, and their combined wages were pitifully small.
The couple set up a stall to earn money and then spend money to hire people, which is definitely a win-win situation!
However, Mo Youshan had his own concerns.
"No, that won't do. Hiring someone would be a laughing stock. Besides, where are we going to find people during the busy farming season? Everyone's so busy they wish one person could do the work of two."
Mo Yuan sighed as well. "That's just how it is at times like this—low productivity."
There were no machines, everything was done by hand.
The efficiency is too low, and there's really no good solution!
We can only take it one step at a time for now!
"Dad, how about this? It's easy enough if we don't use any money! We'll see which families have plenty of time to help out, and we'll treat them to good food and wine. I don't believe we can't find someone!"
Putting everything else aside, a bowl of stew with a few slices of pork and a white flour steamed bun is all you can eat.
Mo Yuan believed he could find countless people eager to help!
The conversation quickly ended, and Lin Xue brought several dishes to the table.
The three of them began to focus on clinking glasses and chatting about happy things!
The whole room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere!
But human joys and sorrows are not shared. Just as Mo Yuan's family was chatting and laughing...
The eldest sister, Mo Hongying, did not have an easy time.
Li Laosan has become increasingly irritable lately, and his temper has escalated to the point of being worse.
He was getting angry at Mo Hongying more and more often, and sometimes it even involved the two children.
Every time I see my two children crying loudly in front of me, I feel terrified.
Mo Hongying became increasingly hesitant.
Is it even worth continuing like this?
