"They can't even farm their own land, how can they have time to farm yours! What the hell are you expecting?"
"Then Xinghu and the others shouldn't come out..." Li Mancang said, and then he saw a shadow fall on his head.
The old man used his pipe to hit Li Mancang hard.
"I can't go out and see the world. If your family lives in the city, I have to stay in the countryside!"
Li Mancang was beaten so hard that his teeth were bared. In front of his son and grandson, his father did not give him any face at all.
The second and third children lowered their heads and laughed secretly.
"Dad, they are temporary workers. With that little salary, when can they settle down in the city? It's better for them to farm and earn more money. When they buy a house, they will be city dwellers!"
"If I don't have a job, why would I buy a house? I'll just be standing by the window and starving!" The old man still had the old idea that he had to have a job no matter what.
At that time, people all thought that a formal job could be passed down for several generations, it was a stable job, nothing was more important than the job!
The second and third sons are temporary workers and it is not easy for them to be converted to regular workers. Nowadays, everyone has a regular job and they will just quit if they don't want to work. The second son's land is his own, unlike the four sons of Mantun's family who have not yet divided the family property and the little land is not enough to be divided. The third son is learning to do business. He has a sharp brain and is quick-witted, better than the temporary workers, so they will just quit if they don't want to work.
The first two from Mantun’s family should come out, and then you can slowly look for opportunities. If you don’t come out, you will never have a chance.
The old man hopes that the Mantun family can also settle down in the city, and that his descendants will also be able to live in the city in the future.
Li Mancang didn't dare to provoke the old man. What his father said was right, even if it was wrong! His blood was pressed, and he had to give in.
"Don't tell your second uncle's family yet. Wait until things are settled first! So as to avoid making them unhappy. If anything happens to you, you still have to go to work." The old man mainly instructed the quick-talking third brother.
The third brother made a zipper gesture with his mouth and had his mouth sewn shut. He definitely wouldn't say anything.
At night, Li Mancang and Wu Zhiqiu lay on the kang and sighed, wondering what to do with so many mountains and land!
Wu Zhiqiu wished she could occupy it right away so she wouldn't have to go back and plant it. She originally wanted to buy some wasteland and plant some trees without having to worry about it. The old man also bought a lot of land for them, so they couldn't leave it uncultivated if they didn't plant it!
"No, I'll go back and fix it after the New Year!" Li Mancang sighed. He felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of living apart from his wife.
Wu Zhiqiu didn't want Li Mancang to go back either. It didn't take much to find a yard in the city, and the value was not comparable to farming! Besides, she didn't want Li Mancang to be so tired anymore. He had suffered enough for most of his life! She wanted to make it up to him for the rest of her life.
"Let's wait and see! If not, just hire the villagers to help plant trees on the mountains and wasteland. They won't have to worry about them in the future or at other times!" Wu Zhiqiu also sighed.
The next morning, the third brother ran away without even having breakfast. He didn't sleep well the previous night. He dreamed that his clothes were selling well and he had countless money. He was so happy that his cheeks hurt.
Wu Zhiqiu went to work at the request of the old lady, and Li Mancang took the old man to continue buying New Year's goods
The old lady took a few children to play in the house, and Chunni and Fengchun started to clean up.
It was Fengchun's first time to do a big cleaning. In the past, Chunni had done all these tasks alone. The two of them wrapped themselves in headscarves and swept the dust and spider webs on the roof.
Then she washed all the pots and pans, and wiped the boxes and cabinets carefully. After a whole morning, Fengchun was so tired that she couldn't even lift her arms.
"Let's clean the glass and brush the floor in the house this afternoon, and that's it." Chunni was used to doing this, and while busy with lunch, she told Fengchun about the work to be done in the afternoon.
