Chapter 225 Jiu Gong is our role model

noon.

Naye Village.

At Deng Yunqiang's home, the family was happily eating sweet potato soup.

In later generations, whether in cities or rural areas, sweet potato soup was a common item. Anyone who wanted to eat it could eat it. It was nothing special. But in rural areas of this era, it was still very rare for a family to have sweet potato soup for lunch.

Sweet potatoes are nothing, as every rural household has plenty of them. The key point is that sugar is considered a precious thing in that era. The head of the household usually hides it and will not take it out to eat easily. They are usually saved for the New Year to make sweet rice dumplings and the like.

Who would be willing to cook sweet potatoes on a regular basis? That would be too extravagant.

Deng Yunqiang's family also used to be reluctant to eat like this, but not long ago they sold the lychees at home and earned more than 1,500 yuan. In addition, after dividing the land and working on their own, they have had bumper harvests of grain for several seasons in a row, and they have also raised a lot of livestock and poultry at home, so they suddenly have more money on hand.

Therefore, they are willing to cook and eat this luxurious sweet potato soup.

There is one more thing worth mentioning. When I took out a loan to plant litchi trees, my family’s finances were tight and we all had to tighten our belts to make ends meet.

However, Changfu's mother was particular about what she did. The family lived frugally and ate a very vegetarian diet. But for her eldest daughter-in-law who was pregnant, she always added extra dishes to her meal, such as boiling an egg for her or buying a little bit of meat to stir-fry for her.

The eldest daughter-in-law was also nice. Just a few months after she got married, she took out the dowry money her parents gave her to buy groceries for Changfu's mother.

Now that the family has finally recovered, Changfu's mother immediately returned the dowry money to her daughter-in-law.

…

After enjoying the sweet potato soup, the family trained the twins to walk in the hall.

Deng Changfu's twin sons were born in May of the lunar calendar last year and are now over one year old. Children usually start learning to walk after they are over one year old, but some can walk before they are even one year old.

At this point, the twins were able to stand on their own, but they were still hesitant to take the first step.

Guan Yongying squatted in front of one of her sons, only one or two steps away from the child. She waved at her son and said with a smile, "Son, come to mommy. Don't be afraid. Come over here slowly."

On the other side, Changfu's mother used the same trick to make one of her grandsons walk towards her.

At the door, Deng Yunqiang was smoking a hookah, glancing at his twin grandsons from time to time, with a smile on his face that he couldn't hide.

Now in Naye Village, he can be considered a winner in life. Although he is still far behind Uncle Jiu in terms of living, he already has two grandsons, while Uncle Jiu only has one granddaughter so far. In this respect, he is better.

Deng Changfu and his brothers and sisters were also watching happily from the side.

With the constant encouragement of Guan Yongying and Changfu's mother, the twins finally tried to take a step, but they would fall after taking one or two steps.

However, those who are experienced know that as long as the child dares to take the first step, he will definitely be able to walk within three to five days.

After burning several cigarettes, Deng Yunqiang said, "Okay, we can't let them stand for too long at once, or they will get tired. Let them rest for a while!"

Changfu's mother picked up one of her grandchildren and said with a smile, "Now they dare to walk. I guess they will be able to walk in a few days."

Guan Yongying picked up another one and said with a smile, "In a few months, they will be able to run around."

Deng Changfu also came over to tease his son for a bit, then changed the subject to Jiu Gong and said, "According to the time, Jiu Gong's restaurant should have opened. I wonder how business is going?"

Guan Yongying continued, "It must be good. Do you still doubt Jiugong's ability?"

Deng Changfu shook his head and said, "Jiu Gong's ability has been recognized in the village. How could I doubt it? It's just that doing business is different from doing other things. No matter how capable you are, you can't guarantee that you will make a profit without loss. Before the business is really established, it's inevitable that you will have some concerns."

Deng Yunqiang said with a smile: "You are worrying for nothing. Don't say that your business may not lose money. Even if you really lose money, at most you will lose the rent of the store and the wages of the employees. How much money can it be? Compared with your income, it is not worth mentioning at all."

Changfu's mother agreed and said, "Your father is right. Jiugong has made more than 6,000 yuan this year just by selling lychees and watermelons. If you add in the income from the tile factory, even if it's less than 10,000, it won't be much different. This is only the income in the first half of the year. If you add in the income from the tile factory in the second half of the year, it's safe to make more than 10,000 yuan a year."

So, if the restaurant opened by Jiugong in the county makes money, it will be really amazing. I don’t know how high the income this year will be. Even if it loses money accidentally, it’s nothing, because there is so much income to cover it! ”

It is no wonder that they would think this way, because although the villagers all knew that Deng Shirong went to the county town to open a restaurant, they all thought that Deng Shirong just opened a restaurant similar to the Shuangwang State-owned Restaurant, and they had no idea that Deng Shirong had invested more than 300,000 yuan.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Deng Changfu also knew that Jiu Gong didn't need him to worry about him, so he smiled and said, "Anyway, Jiu Gong's business is really getting bigger and bigger. If the restaurant in the county can really make money, then Jiu Gong's family will be able to gain a foothold in the county, and it's only a matter of time before they become city dwellers."

Deng Yunqiang said: "I used to envy the people in the city, but now I think we country people are pretty good. This year is the first time that the lychees in my family have borne fruit. In order not to affect the growth of the fruit trees, we have cut a lot of branches. If everything goes well next year, the yield will definitely be higher than this year.

Next year, we will also plant watermelons like Uncle Jiu. Even if we plant less and only have half the yield of Uncle Jiu, we will still have an income of around 2,000. The combined annual income from these two things is estimated to be more than 4,000. Even in the city, not many families can have such a high income. "

Guan Yongying nodded and said, "Dad is right, Jiugong is our role model."

Changfu's mother said with anticipation, "If our family really has such a high income next year, then after we sell the lychees and watermelons, we should also build a new house."

Deng Yunqiang looked at his old mud brick house and decided, "We must build a new house next year. We are the only family in the village that planted lychee trees at the same time as Uncle Jiu's family. We can't fall behind too much in building the house. We have to catch up as soon as possible."

Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying both smiled when they heard this. Although their house was barely big enough to live in, it was an old mud brick house after all, and was far inferior to Jiugong's large blue brick and tile house with a bathroom.

If they could build a new house like Jiugong's, it would be a hundred times more comfortable to live in than now. Naturally, the couple were looking forward to it.

The first chapter is here today. Big brothers, Ershe keeps his word and has worked hard to update. Big brothers who still have monthly tickets, please don’t hesitate, vote for Ershe! In addition, big brothers, please don’t keep the book, try to keep reading it every day, so that the data is good, when the PK official recommendation comes, there will be a chance to advance, unlike before when I only picked up garbage like Fengxiangvane. So, I hope that big brothers can keep reading and supporting, and I also hope that big brothers will not skip orders. If you can make up for the skipped parts, it will be even better!
