Chapter 127 Niece's Surprise
Zhang Family.
In the living room, Zhang Xiuping was persuading her father that she was now married into the Deng family and was living a "luxurious" life that she had never dared to imagine before. However, she knew very well what the conditions were like in her parents' home as she had lived here for 19 years.
Now her father-in-law has shown the way to her brothers from her natal family. Seeing that they can escape poverty if they follow this path, she certainly doesn't want her father to be hesitant and miss this opportunity to turn things around.
Hearing his daughter's persuasion, Zhang Zhenfa hesitated for a moment, then looked at his son-in-law sitting next to him and asked, "Yuntai, what do you think?"
Deng Yuntai must have believed in his father's judgment, and said, "I agree to buy the house. Even if I don't do business in the future, I can still sell it if I don't want it. As for the bicycle, I also think it's worth buying. It's impossible to do business without a bicycle."
Seeing his daughter and son-in-law say so, Zhang Zhenfa no longer hesitated and nodded, "Okay, I'll buy the small house after the New Year. As for the bicycle, I'll ask someone to help me find out if I can buy an old bicycle first. When I make money from the business, it won't be too late to buy a new one."
Brothers Zhang Shouguo and Zhang Shoumin were excited when they heard this. They had wanted to start a business for a long time, but they were short of money and were not willing to take out loans. So they could only persuade their father to support them.
But my father was afraid of both tigers and wolves, and he could not make up his mind.
Now, with the help of my sister and brother-in-law, my father made the decision with just a few simple words.
Mrs. Zhang Dasao and Mrs. Zhang Ersao, who were busy nearby, were also secretly happy. Although they were women with little foresight, they understood that if the family continued to dig for food in the fields as before, they would not be able to escape from this poverty.
They don’t know whether they can make money by opening a shop in Longtanwei, but they know in their hearts that this is a way out, and as long as they seize the opportunity, they can change their destiny.
Seeing that her father agreed, Zhang Xiuping didn't say anything more.
Soon, Zhang's mother fried the ash water dumplings, hair dumplings, and big dumplings and then took her two daughters-in-law to kill chickens and cook.
If it were in the past, Zhang Xiuping would definitely go to help, but now she is no longer a family member but a guest, and it would be inappropriate for her to rush to work, so she stayed to drink tea and chat with her father and brothers.
…
Sham Shui Tin Village.
Deng Changfu was also drinking tea and chatting with his father-in-law Guan Dewei. The table was also filled with various fried snacks, candies, biscuits, melon seeds and other things.
"Afu, have you reclaimed all the lychee hills in your home?" Guan Dewei asked.
Deng Changfu nodded and said, "We just reclaimed the lychee mountain before the New Year. The tree pits have been dug. After the New Year, we can go and bring back the lychee seedlings and plant them."
Guan Dewei said, "Your Lord Jiu knows more about litchi planting than we do. You should ask him for advice. When he brings back the litchi seedlings, we will bring them back to plant them."
Deng Changfu smiled and said, "I have already discussed this with Jiugong. We will hire a car to bring back the lychee seedlings."
Guan Dewei hummed, then looked at his daughter and said, "Yongying, how do you feel now?"
Guan Yongying, who is more than four months pregnant, has not shown any signs of pregnancy. When she heard her father's question, she smiled and said, "Dad, I am in good health now. I eat well and sleep well."
Guan Dewei said: "When you are pregnant, you should pay more attention to your health. Don't do heavy work and be careful when walking."
Guan Yongying smiled and said, "I know, Dad. Now, let alone doing heavy work, even helping to light a fire, my mother-in-law won't let me do it. Besides, I am already very careful when walking."
Seeing the smile on his daughter's face, Guan Dewei felt very relieved. His daughter had been married to Deng Changfu for half a year. Guan Dewei had already seen clearly the character of their family. He had to say that Uncle Jiu was good at judging people and the matchmaker he made for his daughter was really a good one.
…
In Duodong Village, Deng Changwang was also eating rice and drinking tea with his father-in-law Dai Chunqing and brother-in-law Dai Zongze.
At the same time, countless sons-in-law in the entire Bobai County underwent the "annual review" by their father-in-law and mother-in-law on this day.
…
Nowadays, people usually visit relatives in the morning. By the time they arrive at their relatives' house, it will be around ten o'clock. They will make rice dumplings and drink tea, then make lunch. After eating, it will be around two o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, it is time to go home.
Of course, if you have come a long way and originally planned to stay overnight, that is a different matter.
Generally speaking, except for the new son-in-law's return visit, other relatives who live nearby will not stay overnight.
After lunch, Deng Shirong's two brothers-in-law returned home soon after.
Seeing this, the third sister and her family also prepared to go back.
But before going back, the third sister Deng Shilan said to Deng Shirong, "Brother, you said last time that after planting the lychee trees on Litchi Mountain, you would hire someone to help take care of them. I wonder if you have chosen someone now?"
Deng Shirong said: "I haven't decided who to invite yet."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Deng Shilan asked, "What do you think of Ah Hu?"
Deng Shirong looked at Jiang Dehu, his nephew-in-law, and said, "Ah Hu, everyone is doing planting and breeding now. If you do it too, you may earn more than helping me take care of the lychee mountain. Have you thought about it?"
Before Jiang Dehu could reply, Bu Dafang rushed to say, "Mr. Q, what does he know about farming? He has never even raised a chicken at home. As for planting, we don't have many mountains at home, and we can't plant many fruit trees. It's better for him to come and help you, Mr. Q!"
Jiang Dehu also nodded and said, "Mr. Q, Ah Fang is right!"
Deng Shirong said, "It's fine if you come to help me work. You can eat here and I'll pay you 30 yuan a month. But what about your family's land? Who will farm it?"
Bu Dafang said, "Mr. Q, I can do it. Just ask him to go back and help when the rice is planted and the rice is harvested."
"No, you have to take care of the children and farm the land at the same time. It's too hard!"
Deng Shirong shook his head and said, "How about this? You can just lend your family's land to others to grow crops, and harvest the grain according to the proportion every year. You can also leave the child to your mother-in-law or sister-in-law to help you take care of it. If they don't want to, you can just pay a little money. Then you and your wife can come together to help me take care of the lychee mountain. I will pay you 60 yuan a month."
Bu Dafang was surprised when he heard this: "Mr. Q, are you serious?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Can I still watch you suffer so much in your husband's family?"
Hearing this, Jiang Dehu couldn't help but look ashamed.
Deng Shilan couldn't help but interrupt, "Brother, the wages you pay are too high. Besides, there is not much work to do in Litchi Mountain. One person is enough. Wouldn't it be an additional burden for you to hire two people?"
