At this time, Huo Jinxi was leaning against the door with a haughty look on his face. Seeing Fubao surrounded by her four brothers, he looked a little unhappy.
What he hates most is the weekend, because once those brats come back, he basically has nothing to do.
He was completely left out and Fubao would ignore him.
With the four boys back, dinner was naturally more sumptuous than usual.
Old Mrs. Shen went out of her way to buy pork and fish. The boys seldom ate meat, so they wolfed them down, but they remembered to save the best parts for their younger sister.
When they were almost done eating, Old Man Shen took Fubao into his arms and let her sit on his lap. Then he cleared his throat and said to the four boys seriously, "You are all members of the family and have grown up, so I want to ask for your opinions. Nannan's previous gold ingots were sold for more than 7,000 yuan. I want to use part of it to renovate the house and buy some new furniture. What do you think?"
The four boys had no objection, and all said, "No idea!"
Of course they would be happy to fix up this broken house that leaks in the summer and is drafty in the winter. Who doesn't want to live in a good house?
Old man Shen nodded, "Okay, there is one more thing. My wife and I both think that farming alone is not enough, we need to raise something to make money. What do you think is good? Chickens, ducks, geese, or pigs?"
"This..." How could these four boys understand this?
They usually study in school and have never thought about this. Only the oldest one, Shen Zhishu, has some idea about this. "Grandpa, I think raising pigs is good. I heard that raising pigs is profitable now. Didn't someone in the next village get rich by raising pigs? He opened a big pig farm!"
Old Man Shen thought for a moment and said, "We need to raise pigs, but my wife and I are the only ones who know how to do it. Raising pigs is hard work, and my wife and I are old. We can only raise a few at most, and forget about raising pigs on a large scale. We have to buy a lot of piglets, and the feed and vaccinations alone are a lot of money. We also have to hire a lot of people, which is too expensive! Besides, it takes a long time to sell pigs, and the return on money is slow, so it's not worth it."
"Oh!" The four boys nodded, not quite understanding.
"Besides, the money in our house belongs to our daughter. We have to keep it for her and not spend it like this."
Fubao raised his little face to look at Old Man Shen, "Grandpa, Nannan's money is the family's money, you can spend it!"
Old man Shen immediately shook his head, "No, grandpa will feel bad about it."
Then he looked at the four boys and said, "Okay, now let's continue. Do you have any other ideas?"
Shen Zhile spoke without thinking, "Then let's raise chickens, ducks and geese? Grandpa, let's build a chicken farm? When the hens lay eggs, we can sell the eggs!"
"It's also expensive to open a chicken farm. You have to buy hundreds or thousands of chicken seedlings, and then you have to carefully feed and care for them. It takes several months for them to grow up. And as I said just now, it's just me and my wife. We can't handle it. Don't forget that we still have to farm! But we still need chickens, ducks, and geese. We can just raise some in the yard."
It seems that grandparents want to raise the child without too much trouble and still make money. What is that?
Shen Zhile thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, just don't raise it! Isn't Huo's younger brother good at hunting? He can always bring back a lot of pheasants and wild boars. Just let him hunt, he can make a lot of money!"
