After dinner, brother and sister Zhu Tie and Zhu Xing diligently cleaned up the dishes.
Wen Wan glanced at the time and went straight to the point without hesitation, trusting that his intuition would be fine.
"Sister Erni, I'm here to discuss something with you. I wonder if you are willing to do it?"
After hearing this, Liu Erni felt much more at ease. "Xiao Wan, just tell me what's the matter." She knew that Wen Wan definitely didn't come so far to play for no reason.
"Sister Erni, Brother Zhu, do you want to change your lives? Do you want your children to go to school?" Wen Guan asked with a serious expression.
Liu Erni felt sad and sighed, "Of course I thought about it, but we don't have the conditions to send them to school now." Seeing that Tiewa was almost eight years old, she and Zhu Qiang were also anxious.
Her parents had suggested that she and Zhu Qiang move to Erhe Village with their children, but now people farmed and exchanged work points for food, and their family of four couldn't rely entirely on their parents for food and drink.
The brothers and sisters-in-law in the family may be able to tolerate it for a short period of time, but they will definitely have opinions over time, and then the whole family will suffer.
Zhu Qiang lowered his head in shame, he knew that his wife and children had suffered a lot following him.
Wen Wan crossed his arms and said seriously, "Sister Erni, Brother Zhu, I want to raise chickens in the mountains. I would like you to help me raise them. I will share the money with you after I sell them. What do you want to do?"
Hearing this, Liu Erni and Zhu Qiang fell silent.
There are now strict requirements for raising chickens and ducks in the village. Each household can only raise three. If they raise more, it will be considered cutting off the tail of capitalism.
There is no one in their mountain who would come all the way to investigate, but if anyone finds out and reports it, they will be arrested.
Wen Guan did not urge them. He patiently drank the water in the bowl and let Liu Erni and her husband think it over.
After a few minutes, Liu Erni turned her head and looked outside the door. She saw Tiewa and Xiaoxing carrying firewood towards the kitchen in a sensible and considerate manner, and her eyes became sore.
It was time for Tiewa to go to school. When she returned to her mother's home during the Chinese New Year, her nephew, who was only six years old, could already write his own name and recite poems.
At that time, Tiewa's clear and ignorant eyes were flashing with envy for books, which has been firmly engraved in her heart.
Liu Erni clenched her fists, made up her mind, and said firmly: "Xiao Wan, let's do it." She didn't believe that there would be people running to the mountains to cause trouble.
Zhu Qiang next to him suddenly raised his head, turned to look at his wife, took a deep breath and agreed: "Let's do it."
Wen Guan smiled suddenly, "Sister Er Ni, Brother Zhu, I will definitely not let you suffer any loss." She knew that the other party would definitely agree.
"Xiao Wan, what do we need to do?" Liu Erni stirred her hands nervously.
Wen Wan didn't hesitate and said directly: "I'll find a way to find a little chicken to come over and pay your family five dollars a month. You need to work according to my requirements."
Hearing the five yuan, Liu Erni nodded excitedly, "We promise to do it according to your requirements."
Five dollars a month is sixty dollars a year, which is more than enough to send two children to school.
Wen Wan was originally going to talk about giving bonuses at the end of the year, but seeing Liu Erni and Zhu Qiang's happy faces, she swallowed her thoughts back. Talking about this now is just empty talk, and she would bring it up again at the end of the year.
"Sister Erni, take me to see the hillside behind. We need to find a place to fence it off." Wen Guan stood up and walked outside.
Liu Erni nodded and followed, "Xiao Wan, how many chickens should we raise?" If there are too many, we still need to stay away from people.
"Raise fifty chickens at the beginning to practice. You can add more chickens when you become proficient in raising them." Wen Guan estimated the number of gold coins in the space.
Liu Erni smiled so hard that her gums showed. "Xiao Wan, fifty chickens will be enough for us. I'll ask Zhu Qiang to chop some wood and build a chicken coop."
"Sister Erni, your idea is good." Wen Wan affirmed, "But it will trouble Brother Zhu."
