Chapter 286 The Rich Deng Family [Subscribe]
Bobai People's Park.
Faced with this thorny problem, Zhu Junjie did not panic and said, "This situation is impossible."
Deng Yunzhen blinked and asked, "Why is it impossible for it to appear?"
Zhu Junjie laughed and said, "Have you forgotten that I'm a civil servant? The country is now implementing family planning. Both men and women can only have one child. If you want to have more, I have to quit this job."
Deng Yunzhen couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this, because everyone in their Naye Village had several children at a time, so for a moment she really forgot about family planning, and the problems she was worried about were not problems at all.
The two walked and talked in the park. Just as they walked around the park, it started to get dark.
Although the public security in the county has improved a lot since the crackdown began last year, it does not mean that it is really safe. There are still potential dangers. Therefore, Deng Yunzhen and others never go out alone in the county, and they would rather not go out at night.
If there were other people around, Deng Yunzhen would have gone home long ago. How could she still be in the park when it was already dark?
But the person next to her is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, and he is also wearing a police uniform. Not to mention that she feels extremely safe, but at least she doesn't have to worry about someone being so blind as to tease her.
When walking back from the park and almost getting home, Allen Chu asked, “Ah Zhen, how about having breakfast together tomorrow?”
Deng Yunzhen smiled and said, "Okay!"
…
The next morning.
Sui Feng Hotel.
It was still early and the diners had not yet arrived for dinner, so Deng Yunzhen played hide-and-seek with Xiao Dong'er.
At this time, Xiaodong'er was hiding and Deng Yunzhen was looking for her.
Deng Yunzhen had seen her hiding behind the cashier counter, but she deliberately didn't look for her there. She kept walking around nearby and said, "Xiao Dong'er, where are you hiding?"
"Xiao Dong'er, Auntie has seen you, don't hide, come out quickly!"
"Xiao Dong'er, Auntie really saw you. Did you hide in the bathroom?"
If it were any other child, he would have revealed his position long ago after hearing such words.
However, Xiao Dong'er played this game many times, and she didn't know how many times she had been fooled by these tricks. She had already learned them all. So she just hid there without saying a word, and even waved her little hands at her mother, meaning her mother to keep quiet. Her cute look made her mother almost laugh out loud.
Next, Deng Yunzhen tried several tricks but failed to successfully trick Xiao Dong'er out, and finally she could only find her for real.
Xiao Dong'er, who was found, giggled with joy. Although this game of hide-and-seek was simple, it was really attractive to children of her age.
Deng Yunzhen hugged her and asked with a smile: "Xiao Dong'er, you are getting more and more powerful now. Even your aunt can't deceive you!"
Xiao Dong'er showed a proud expression: "Even Dad can't beat me in hide-and-seek."
Deng Yunzhen smiled and nodded, "Yes, our Xiao Dong'er is too good, even auntie can't beat you."
Xiao Dong'er said happily: "Aunt, let's continue playing, it's your turn to hide!"
Deng Yunzhen smiled and said, "Take a break first and play again later. Your grandfather said he would send you to kindergarten to play with other children. Do you want to go?"
Xiao Dong'er asked: "Auntie, where is the kindergarten? Are the children there fun?"
Deng Yunzhen smiled and said, "The kindergarten is very close. There are many children there. They play games together every day. It's so much fun."
Xiao Dong'er immediately became interested when she heard this and quickly said, "Then I want to go to the kindergarten to play."
Deng Yunzhen smiled and said, "Okay, then when you grow up a little bit, auntie will take you to the kindergarten to play with other children every day, but you can only play with other children alone, auntie has other things to do and can't stay with you."
Xiao Dong'er was a little entangled when she heard this and said, "Can I only be alone? Auntie, if you have to do something, then it's okay for mom to accompany me!"
Deng Yunzhen smiled and said, "Mom has to do things too. You play with the other kids in kindergarten. When mom, dad or aunt finishes their work, they will pick you up and take you home. Then you can tell us what games you played in kindergarten. What do you think?"
Xiao Dong'er had no idea of time and thought that they would just play for a while and then go home like usual, so she nodded and said, "Okay then!"
Deng Yunzhen knew clearly that she was only trying to coax her niece temporarily. Once she was really sent to kindergarten, she would probably start crying as soon as they left.
According to her, Xiaodong'er doesn't need to go to kindergarten at all. When she is six or seven years old, she can be sent directly to preschool. Isn't this how her generation all went through? It would be strange if she didn't cry when Xiaodong'er was sent to kindergarten before she was even three years old!
But my father also said that all children will go to kindergarten in the future. Currently, only children in cities go there, but in the future children in rural areas will also go there.
In the future, this kindergarten should also be incorporated into the national education system and become an indispensable part.
Deng Yunzhen naturally admired her father's gaze. Since her father said that Xiaodong'er should go to kindergarten, it must be better to go than not to.
Therefore, Deng Yunzhen gave Xiao Dong'er a shot of vaccination in advance, with the purpose of arousing her interest in kindergarten.
…
Time flies, and it is already the fifth month of the lunar calendar.
The fifth month of the lunar calendar every year is the time when Bobai lychees mature on a large scale.
In Shuangwang area, there are many straight-growing lychee trees. Some of these straight-growing lychee trees are hundreds of years old, and there are even more that are decades old, as shown in the following picture: These towering trees can yield hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of lychees once they bear fruit.
Now there are more and more self-employed individuals in rural areas, and everyone can do business openly without having to be sneaky like before. The time to harvest lychees (as mentioned in the previous article, after the lychee trees bloom, you negotiate with the owners of the lychee trees and pay in advance to buy the lychees of this season) is also coming.
On this day, the lychees from the straight tree next to the threshing ground of the Naye Production Team were ready to be picked. The children in the village who knew the news ran under the lychee tree, ready to grab the lychees that fell.
To pick lychees from this kind of straight tree, bamboo clamps are used. It is inevitable that adults will make mistakes when operating the tree, and then the lychees will fall from the tree. It depends on who has the quickest hands to pick the lychees. Whoever grabs it first gets it.
Because only a few lychees fell, no one would care too much about who took the lychees. But they were all children in the village, and it would be a bit unreasonable if they were not allowed to pick up a few lychees to eat.
When these straight-growing trees were ready for picking, the Guiwei lychees from Deng Shirong's and Deng Yunqiang's homes were also ready for picking.
This year is the third time that the two lychee trees have borne fruit. As the lychee trees grow bigger, the number of fruits they bear is increasing.
Last year, Deng Yunqiang's family sold lychees for 2,180 yuan. This year, their income soared again, selling for 2,895 yuan.
The fruit produced by Deng Shirong's family was no less than that of Deng Yunqiang's family, but as usual he left several hundred kilograms for his family and relatives to eat, so he only sold it for 2,578 yuan.
After the lychees from the two families were sold, the watermelons for the whole family started selling.
This year, the scale of watermelon planting of the entire Naye Deng family is even larger than last year, mainly because the clan members tasted the sweetness last year. The minimum income of each family starts at one thousand, and the income of families with a really good harvest can reach four or five thousand.
With such high income, which family wouldn’t want to plant more?
Therefore, this year many tribesmen not only planted watermelons in their own orchards, but even used the sloping land used to grow grains to plant watermelons.
In addition to the Naye Deng family, many people from other villages in Bangjie Brigade also started growing watermelons.
Therefore, the scale of watermelon planting in Bangjie Brigade has reached a new historical peak this year. Even if the total amount is not 20,000 tons, it is not much different.
In order to cope with this huge purchase volume, the supply and marketing cooperative dispatched dozens of large trucks to transport goods day and night.
In the end, Deng Shirong's family sold watermelons for nearly 4,500 yuan, and the money from selling lychees exceeded 7,000 yuan. If the income from the tile factory in the past year is included, the total amount is about 14,000 yuan.
Last year, the profit from longan was 255,405 yuan. Minus the 1,760 yuan spent on monkey stamps, there was 253,645 yuan left. Adding the 14,000 yuan, the total was 267,645 yuan. Minus the expenses of the year and the 3,000 yuan deposit paid in advance to Dongping Farm, Deng Shirong currently has about 262,000 yuan in cash.
This cash may seem like a lot, but it may not be enough.
Because he had to go to Dongping Farm to purchase pineapples, and he also had to reserve some money to purchase longans from Baiping Farm, so the money was really tight.
However, my eldest daughter-in-law still has tens of thousands of yuan. If the money is really not enough, I can take it from her first! ...
Just as the Bangjie Brigade was continuously transporting dozens of truckloads of watermelons out, Deng Shirong also boarded the bus to Dongping.
When he arrived at Dongping Street, Deng Shirong looked around for a while and finally found an abandoned granary that he could rent out for use as a temporary warehouse.
After doing all this, Deng Shirong walked towards Dongping Farm.
While walking, Deng Shirong felt that it was a complete waste of time.
It seems that after the longan and pineapple are sold this time, I will have to buy two identical motorcycles when I come back. One will be used at home, and the other will be stored in the space. This way, when I am out, I can take it out from the space and drive it when needed. It will be much more convenient.
When we arrived at Dongping Farm, it was around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Seeing the big boss Deng Shirong coming, Director Feng of Dongping Farm was very happy and said with a smile: "Boss Deng, I said you would come over in the next few days. Sure enough, I guessed right. The pineapples on our farm have entered the mature stage and can be harvested at any time."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Director Feng to organize the people to harvest!"
Director Feng said, "We have a ready supply of manpower on our farm. Boss Deng, are you going to start harvesting tomorrow?"
Deng Shirong hummed and said, "Since it's ripe, let's start harvesting from tomorrow!"
Manager Feng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give the order later and have the workers get ready to start harvesting pineapples tomorrow."
Deng Shirong said, "Director Feng, the pineapples have been harvested. You have to send a car to help me transport them to the abandoned granary on Dongping Street."
Director Feng smiled and said, "No problem, this is what we should do."
After the two men finished talking about business, Director Feng asked someone to notify the farm employees to start harvesting pineapples early tomorrow morning. He also notified the chef in the farm cafeteria to prepare a table of food and wine to entertain the guests.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Deng Shirong couldn't refuse the invitation, so he stayed and had a drink with Director Feng and other farm leaders.
We didn't leave at night and just slept on the farm.
…
The next day.
Employees of Dongping Farm began to harvest pineapples.
Ten days later, all the pineapples on the farm were harvested, a total of 1,206 tons, which is still a very large number.
According to the purchase contract signed previously, the price of pineapples in this field is 0.1 yuan per catty, and 1,206 tons is 241,200 yuan. Excluding the deposit of 3,000 yuan, Deng Shirong still needs to pay 238,200 yuan to the farm.
In a flash, Deng Shirong was left with only 23,800 yuan in cash.
This money is used to purchase longan from Baiping Farm, but there is obviously still a big gap, so we can only get it from the eldest daughter-in-law first.
After Deng Shirong settled the bill, Manager Feng asked the chef to prepare a large table of dishes for him. After he had almost finished drinking, he asked, "Boss Deng, will you continue to purchase pineapples next summer?"
Originally, Deng Shirong just wanted to buy more and sell them slowly, but he was a little short of money recently, so he planned to go to more places to sell these 1,206 tons of pineapples, so he still planned to continue buying pineapples next year.
Hearing Director Feng's question, Deng Shirong answered affirmatively: "Director Feng, if the purchase price remains unchanged, then we can sign the purchase contract for next summer in advance."
"Boss Deng is really straightforward. Let's drink first and then sign the contract."
"No problem. Thank you, Director Feng, for hosting me. I'd like to offer you a toast."
"Boss Deng, you are too polite. I should be the one toasting you. I wish you a prosperous business and great success."
"Thank you for your good words. Cheers!"
"cheers!"
…
It took a full forty days from the time the watermelons went on sale until they were all sold out.
After all the watermelons were sold, the entire village of Naye Deng was filled with laughter and joy, and every household was as happy as if it were New Year's Day.
Because this year's watermelon harvest is once again a bumper harvest.
Last year, the entire Naye Deng family sold more than 11,500 tons of watermelons, with a total income of nearly 1.9 million yuan. After deducting the cost of growing the watermelons, the average profit per household was as high as 2,500 yuan, which can be said to be a wave of wealth.
However, before they could even warm up the money, the tribesmen invested it all in the passenger transport company, and even put in all their savings.
Therefore, over the past year, the members of the Naye Deng clan only seemed to be doing well on the surface, but in reality their lives were not very good, and many of them even had a harder time than before.
But things are different now. This year, the Deng family in Naye sold more than 12,000 tons of watermelons, with a total income of more than 1.9 million yuan. After deducting the planting costs, the average profit per household is higher than last year.
With this huge sum of money coming in, it was like a long-awaited rain. The tribesmen, who were originally very tight on money, instantly became wealthy.
Then, some people built houses, some people got married, and happy events happened almost every day, and the whole family was thriving.
In villages with other surnames, many people also followed suit and made money from planting. They also slaughtered chickens and ducks and entertained relatives and friends.
In short, the entire Bangjie Brigade was immersed in the joy of the harvest.
…
As the saying goes, "There will be no rain without clouds in the sky, and there will be no marriage without a matchmaker on earth."
The importance of matchmakers is unquestionable. Since the birth of the marriage system in our country, matchmakers have played a vital role in it.
In rural areas, there are professional matchmakers who make a living from matchmaking, and there are also amateur matchmakers who do it for fun.
Professional matchmakers travel between villages all day long, looking for unmarried partners and setting up matchmakers for men and women in each village. Their numbers are very small, and on average there may not be one professional matchmaker in a village.
Ninety percent of amateur matchmakers are women who have a heart for matchmaking. They are keen on helping people they know to get together. There are a lot of them, and they do matchmaking not for money, but purely to experience the sense of accomplishment of bringing a couple together.
Cai Sangu is an amateur matchmaker in Hengmenkou Village.
At this time, Cai Sangu was in her mother's hometown, Pitian Village, and was matchmaking for a niece in the village.
Aunt Cai San asked, "Second sister-in-law, your sixth sister should be 22 this year, right?"
Mrs. Cai nodded and said, "Yes, 22!"
Aunt Cai San said, "There is a good young man in our village. I would like to introduce him to your sixth sister. I wonder if you, second sister-in-law, agree?"
Cai Ersao's eyes lit up and she asked, "Third Aunt, what are the conditions of the young man?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm not bragging to you. Our Hengmenkou Village is no longer the extremely poor village it was two years ago. Even the poorest families would be considered wealthy in Pitian Village."
Cai Sangu said proudly, and then briefly introduced: "The young man I am talking about, his family was originally very poor. In fact, not only his family was poor, but every household in our village was very poor two years ago, including my family.
However, since our village started growing watermelons under the leadership of the clan leader last year and then raised funds to start a passenger transport company, our village has completely changed.
Let me talk about this young man's family first. The three brothers are now drivers of a bus company. Their combined monthly salary is more than 200 yuan, and their family owns 4 shares in the bus company. I don't know how much money they can make in a year, but I know they will definitely make a lot of money in the future.
This year, their family grew watermelons and earned almost four thousand yuan.
Now, they are building a new house. How many families in our Pitian Village can compare with this condition? "
Cai Ersao was shocked when she heard this. In just over a year, such a poor family turned around and became wealthy. And this was not an isolated case, but the whole village and even the whole clan were like this. It was really amazing.
"Her Third Aunt, this young man has money and a job, will he be interested in my Sixth Sister?"
"Second sister-in-law, listen to me first. This young man also has shortcomings. That is, he is a little old. He is already 29 years old this year."
Mrs. Cai frowned slightly when she heard this. She was indeed a little old. If the financial conditions of both families were similar, then there would be no need to consider it and she would reject it at the first opportunity. However, the other party's conditions were much better than theirs. As someone who had experienced this, she naturally knew how big the difference was between a rich family and a poor family.
"He is indeed a little old, but he is well off, so it doesn't matter if he is a little older."
Aunt Cai smiled and said, "It's good that you can think this way, second sister-in-law. We are all experienced people, so we naturally understand the difference between a rich family and a poor family. Apart from anything else, if Sixth Sister marries him, she will be blessed with a happy life, without having to worry about food and clothing, and her life will be better than many people."
Mrs. Cai nodded and said, "That's true. The difference between having money and not having money is really huge."
"Second sister-in-law, if you agree, I will arrange for them to get acquainted."
"Okay, then you arrange it!"
