The Song family contracted the hill in the village.
I heard that they were going to plant fruit trees there, and they would ask the villagers to help with the work and they would pay them.
If you help with work you can get paid, isn't that the same as the workers in the city?
So every family in the village was eager to be selected.
Therefore, everyone tried their best to show goodwill to the Song family.
The Song family has been very busy lately, as they have to take care of the spring planting as well as plan the planting of fruit trees on the hill.
Because the mountain in the village is very big, the village chief drew the area of contract as the area with the jujube trees in the middle. He told others that it was the village's requisition and no one else was allowed to set foot there.
But everyone who participated in the household contract system knew that the mountain land was contracted by the Song family.
Regarding the issue of contracting the mountain, Song Ruan only made two general suggestions.
One is planting on the hilltop. In addition to the jujube trees and hawthorn trees that already exist in the mountains, other fruit trees can also be planted.
At that time, in addition to making cakes to sell, you can also make canned fruits and preserves to sell. The latter two can be preserved for a longer time, which will be better.
The second is the issue of distribution of earned money.
She proposed a shareholding system, whereby each person would receive an equal share according to the number of people in the family, meaning that everyone would share the money earned.
After making the suggestion, Song Ruan decided to be a hands-off boss and not participate in discussing the details.
She rode her bike to town to take care of school and house purchase matters.
These days, in addition to studying and solving the food problem of famine with Yang Bin, she also had to persuade her family to contract the mountain.
Only now can I make time to go to town to handle school matters and look at houses at the same time.
After Song Ruan left, the family continued to finalize the details of contracting the mountain.
Song's mother spoke first: "Regarding the matter of contracting the mountain, if we can make money by then, I don't agree to split it equally."
Mother Song glanced at them in the room and continued, "All the money for contracting the mountain is from my younger sister. She doesn't argue with the family, but we can't take advantage of her, so my younger sister has to take the lion's share."
"That's for sure."
No one would dispute this.
Song Wu scratched his head and said with a smile: "Mom, our family will listen to you. Just give us some pocket money when you make money. Why do we need to take a share?"
Song's mother nodded appreciatively, but what Song Wu said about paying wages was not feasible.
The most taboo thing in this family is inequality.
They still have to make a clear distinction. Otherwise, even if they think it’s nothing in the short term, they may have other ideas after a long time or when they make more money.
"I paid for the land lease, so I'll take half of it. The remaining half will be shared between the four of you, your siblings, me, your father, and Wu Xing, plus the share for the family. It will be divided into eight parts, and everyone can get a share."
When Song's mother said this, everyone felt excited.
Song Wu was happiest when he thought about having more pocket money.
Song's father was also surprised: "Can I get a share for myself?"
Mother Song glanced at him and said calmly, "Yes, but I will keep your share for you. You used to use the family's money to support his grandmother, but now you have lost the right to spend money at will."
Father Song touched his nose, feeling a little ashamed when thinking of the past: "Well, I know, I won't do it again in the future, I will listen to you."
He lives a happy life now, has no worries about food and clothing, and has a harmonious family. He would have to be a fool to do something stupid again.
Only then did Song's mother let him go.
Wu Xing spoke cautiously: "Mom, how can I have a share? Isn't this unfair to Song Wu and Song Cai? Song Wen and I only have one share."
Song's mother waved her hands and said, "There is nothing unfair about this. When they get married, their wives will also get a share. If they feel it is unfair, then let them get married."
When it comes to getting married, everyone's eyes naturally turn to Song Wu and Song Cai.
The young man Song Wu blushed a little.
But Song Cai just had a smile on his face, looking calm and allowing them to tease him.
In the small hall, everyone easily distributed the profits in a few words.
At this time, they didn't know yet that the money they would earn in the future would be beyond their imagination.
The share issue was thus arranged, and next they discussed in detail how to plant the saplings and hire people.
Song Ruan just happened to arrive in town at this time.
