Chapter 69: Receive another matchmaker gift and become a half-millionaire
In his previous life, Deng Shirong's family's orchard was cultivated by a bulldozer, and the cultivation was done very quickly. Now that it is being cultivated by human labor, he has no idea how long it will take to complete.
Therefore, on the first day that Deng Yunkun and four others started to cultivate the orchard, Deng Shirong kept an eye on the progress.
After the first day's reclamation results came out, Deng Shirong realized that his idea was too naive. With only Deng Yunkun and four others, even if they worked hard, they would not be able to complete the task of reclamation of the orchard within the specified time.
There is a huge difference between the working capabilities of manpower and machines!
Therefore, on the second day of reclaiming the orchard, Deng Shirong picked two young and strong people in the village who worked hard and asked them to join the team for reclaiming the orchard.
At the same time, the eldest daughter was asked to ride a bicycle to visit the homes of her three aunts and two uncles, and brought nearly ten laborers.
More than a dozen people worked together to cultivate the orchard, and the progress finally met Deng Shirong's expectations.
In fact, during this period, there were restrictions on self-employed individuals in terms of hiring workers. If the number of employees was less than seven, it was called hiring helpers, but if the number of employees was more than eight, it was considered exploitation and the individual was a capitalist.
However, this policy is basically aimed at self-employed individuals in the city. In remote rural areas like Shuangwangjingyu, this policy is not too particular.
Because the rural areas are more humane at that time. For example, when Deng Shirong's family was building a house, at the peak period, twenty or thirty young and strong people in the village came to help spontaneously. In this case, can you say that Deng Shirong is a capitalist and exploits the villagers?
Now Deng Shirong hired people to help him cultivate the orchard, and the same principle applies. He only needs to tell those who help to keep their mouths shut and not to reveal the fact that they are paid. Who knows whether they are volunteering to help or being hired? In addition, if no one reports it, no one will investigate such things.
Therefore, Deng Shirong does not have to worry about safety.
Just when Deng Shirong's orchard was being cultivated in full swing, Deng Yunqiang and his son also returned safely from Lingshan County. This time they ordered 1,700 Guiwei lychee trees, of which 1,000 were reserved by Deng Yunqiang's family and the remaining 700 were reserved by his relative Guan Dewei's family.
The ordering price is the same as Deng Shirong.
It was only because the father and son mentioned Deng Shirong's name that they were able to get such a low price.
After the father and son came back, they mobilized their relatives and began a massive transformation of the orchard.
Although other people in the village are waiting and watching, not daring to invest so much in orchards when the returns are unclear, they are not idle either. One by one, they have begun to increase the number of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and sheep they raise. These are side jobs with visible returns, so the villagers naturally have no pressure to raise them.
The entire Naye Village has a completely new outlook after the land was divided and everyone started working on their own.
…
September 16th of the lunar calendar, Friday.
Today is the wedding day of Deng Changwang and Dai Fanglan. This young couple can be said to be the first time that Deng Shirong has acted as a matchmaker in the true sense, because Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying were a well-known model couple in the village in their previous life. Deng Shirong simply brought their marriage forward.
However, Deng Changwang did not marry Dai Fanglan in his previous life. Deng Shirong completely changed his marriage. As to whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, only time can tell.
The wedding process was similar to that of Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying. On the afternoon before the wedding, the woman gave Deng Shirong, the matchmaker, a red envelope and a piece of five-flavor snack. The weight of the five-flavor snack was about two kilograms, and the amount in the red envelope was 20 yuan.
The amount of this red envelope also exceeds the normal standard. Considering the financial situation of the Dai family, they can give such a large red envelope. It is conceivable that their family is very satisfied with this marriage, so Deng Shirong was also very happy to receive the red envelope.
That afternoon, Deng Shirong took a few feet of cloth and went to the bride's house for dinner and stayed overnight. The next day, he went with the wedding party to see the bride off.
Deng Changwang is the youngest son in the family. His two older brothers had already separated from the family, and then his three older sisters got married one after another, leaving a large sum of money for their family.
Therefore, the banquet at Deng Changwang's wedding was quite good, even better than that at Deng Changfu's wedding, and the guests ate so much that their mouths were drooling and praised the meal endlessly.
After the banquet, Deng Shirong had just returned home when Deng Changwang's thank-you gift for the matchmaking arrived.
When Deng Changfu got married, the thank-you gift he gave to Deng Shirong was a red envelope of thirty yuan, about ten pounds of pork butt, fifteen pounds of braised pork, two pounds of pork and five spices, two packs of cigarettes, two bottles of wine, two pounds of candy, and two pounds each of rice, sesame seeds, peanuts, black beans, soybeans, red beans, and mung beans.
The thank-you gift from Deng Changwang's family was even more than that from Deng Changfu's family. In addition to the money and other things mentioned above, they also gave two packets of tea and two kilograms of longan pulp.
This wave made Deng Shirong rich again.
The thank-you gift from Deng Changfu's family was used up completely when they were building their house, and now they finally have enough meat to eat.
The total amount of red envelopes given by the man and the woman was 50 yuan, which, with the system's tenfold reward, became 550 yuan, causing Deng Shirong's wealth to skyrocket again. His cash directly exceeded the 5,000 yuan mark, making him a half-millionaire.
Of course, he still owed the credit union 6,000 yuan, and he also had to hire someone to make furniture and open up an orchard, plus he had to marry his eldest daughter-in-law, all of which would cost a lot of money.
Therefore, it still takes hard work to make money, and there is still a long way to go if you want to become a true millionaire.

The next day.
After breakfast, Deng Shirong rode his bicycle to Longtan Commune.
Today is Longtan Market. Deng Shirong has not contacted the Zhang family since he last went to Poxin Village to meet them. Now the house has been built and the furniture is being made. It is estimated that everything will be completed in about a month. It is time to go to the Zhang family to explain the situation.
Otherwise, if there is no contact for too long, the girl might think that your family no longer has that intention, which would be bad.
More than an hour later, Deng Shirong arrived at Poxin Village smoothly.
Before entering Poxin Village, Deng Shirong carefully observed and found that there was no one around, so he took out half a pork butt (about 5 pounds) and half a braised pork (about 7 pounds) from the system space, which he had cut in advance and strung with bamboo strips.
Carrying more than ten kilograms of meat into Poxin Village, Deng Shirong naturally caused quite a stir along the way.
If Deng Shirong hadn't had a scale on his bicycle, the villagers would have thought he was someone from another village selling pork and braised pork.
Some curious villagers couldn't help but ask. When they learned that Deng Shirong was visiting Zhang Zhenfa's relatives, they all showed disbelief in their eyes.
They couldn't understand how Zhang Zhenfa, who was so poor, could have such a generous relative?
