Chapter 235 Parents Arrive
Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head. "Don't think about anything else. We have to harvest this ginseng as soon as possible in the next few days. If I remember correctly, when I just came down from the county town yesterday, Xiao Wang said that the supply and marketing cooperative is currently collecting ginseng. I don't know if the harvest will be better this year.
After all, we had just suffered a disaster, so the prices were pretty good. I thought since we already had a good harvest, we might as well just pull all the crops out of the ground and sell them earlier so that everyone can get their share of the money sooner.”
Jiang Xiaoxiao said this because she knew that they would take the college entrance examination this year, and would have to leave here after the exam. It would be good enough to catch up with the autumn harvest. If they left these ginseng in the fields, they would not be left for others.
It’s good that everyone can share the money and get the first fruits of their labor.
Otherwise, it will not be easy for them to dig out the ginseng later.
Song Moting's eyes were dark, and he suddenly remembered what his grandparents said yesterday. This year, the first national college entrance examination would be resumed. He didn't expect that the news Jiang Xiaoxiao received was true.
They have to plan quickly.
My father has already received accurate news, and it is said that it is very likely to happen this winter.
They were entering August, which meant that they only had a few months left and the ginseng could not be kept any longer. The longer it was kept, the more it would have to wait for the autumn harvest and the approaching winter.
When the ground freezes, we won’t be able to get the ginseng out. What Jiang Xiaoxiao said is indeed right.
Once they pass the college entrance examination, they will definitely go to university. Will they stay here then?
They have to wait for the ginseng to be harvested, but they are not happy to give away such a large sum of money for free.
After all, these ginseng seeds and ginseng seedlings are all grown by them bit by bit.
Song Moting made the final decision.
"Stop talking. Let's harvest all the ginseng in the field in these two days. But it will probably take more than a few days to harvest all the ginseng. After all, the ginseng this time is of very good quality. We still have to be careful. The roots and whiskers of the ginseng cannot be broken, otherwise it will not be sold at a high price.
It would be very difficult for us to dig dozens of acres of land manually. And the harvest is just over a month away. We have a heavy task ahead of us. "
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
"Brother Song, I would be happy even if you just let me dig out one ginseng after another from the soil with my hands. That's a lot of money! I estimated that according to our production, at least one mu of land can produce 1,000 jin. If this 1,000 jin, we have dozens of mu of land, that would be tens of thousands of jin.
Even if it's 50 cents per pound, it's at least 5,000 to 10,000 yuan, and at least 500 to 1,000 yuan per person. Oh my God! Such a large sum of money, even my parents' salary in the city can't earn that much in a year.
I have earned you in just a few months, so I am willing to endure a little more hardship."
"Brother Song, please stop talking. It's just a little bit. Farming is hard for us. When we first came to the countryside last year, the work on our farm was hard. We have come all the way here, so what's there to be afraid of? As long as I can make money, I am not afraid of any hardship or fatigue."
Everyone became excited immediately as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Song Moting smiled and said, "Well, let's not talk about other things, let's start tomorrow. There are only two girls in our educated youth camp. Jia Shu is away on leave, so Jiang Xiaoxiao is alone. Let her be responsible for cooking. When she has nothing to do, she can help us in the fields. The rest is our men's business.
No one should complain about the hardship, and Jiang Xiaoxiao, we should provide everyone with a richer meal these days. We should also use the bacon, sausage, eggs, pheasants, rabbits, etc. that we have saved.
Come on, give everyone good food and drinks, and don’t let them get too tired these few days and they won’t collapse.”
Everyone cheered.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was also amused. How could their ginseng only cost 50 cents per pound?
After watering the ginseng seedlings with her spring water, she also found that the insect plague on the ginseng seedlings was not so serious this year.
Logically speaking, the most serious problem for this kind of ginseng is actually insect infestation. I don’t know if it’s because of the spring water or because of the snow disaster last year that froze all the insects to death. Anyway, there is really no insect infestation this year.
They had never grown ginseng before, so naturally they did not have an accurate estimate of the yield per mu.
But Jiang Xiaoxiao knows.
In fact, once the ginseng is planted, the yield per mu is 5,000 to 6,000 kilograms. However, considering the current fertility of the land, it is certainly impossible to achieve such a high yield.
I estimate that it will be no problem to produce three to four thousand kilograms.
If they want to sell this quality ginseng for one to one dollar and fifty cents, that's really not a problem.
To put it bluntly, after this ginseng harvest, they all became rich women and rich men. In this era, let alone a family with 1,000 yuan, a family with 1,000 yuan is considered a wealthy family.
Even she couldn't help but get excited.
Now there was no need to pull out the weeds, and everyone returned to the dormitory in a mighty manner.
Jiang Xiaoxiao saw two people standing at the door of the dormitory looking at them eagerly.
Jiang Xiaoxiao ran away.
Song Moting took a look and wondered how this girl could run so fast.
As a result, Jiang Xiaoxiao rushed towards the strange man and woman standing at the dormitory door and hugged them tightly.
"Mom and Dad, why are you here? I missed you so much."
Seeing her adoptive parents, she couldn't help but feel excited.
Fan Xiuying burst into tears when she saw that the child she had raised had become dark and thin.
This child has changed so much in just over half a year.
In fact, Jiang Xiaoxiao's skin was considered fair among the educated youth, but in his mother's eyes, it was naturally tanned.
"You are so dark and thin, girl. You said you had to come to the countryside. Now you know what's good for you. Hurry up and go in and let mom take a good look."
Jiang Laoshi didn't know how to say those tender words, but his eyes turned red when he saw his daughter.
"Come in, come in! Let your mother take a good look."
Song Moting knows him.
My future father-in-law and mother-in-law, they got to know each other through fighting.
How can you not make your presence felt in front of your mother-in-law and father-in-law at this time? Hurry up and get close to them!
"Uncle and aunt, why did you come all the way here?"
When Fan Xiuying and Jiang Laoshi saw the energetic young man in front of them, they couldn't remember who he was for a long time. After all, it had been a long time since he beat someone up.
Neither of them remembered anything.
But since people called him uncle and aunt, they couldn't keep silent.
"This is... why does this guy look familiar?"
Song Moting smiled bitterly in his heart. Of course you look familiar. The last time you beat me, you showed no mercy. You beat me really hard.
"Uncle, you beat me severely with a stick last time."
Jiang Laoshi remembered it immediately.
"Oh, I remember, I remember! You are Xiao Song, right? Oh, it's true that we don't know each other until we fight. I didn't expect that you and my daughter would be together. Did you also go to the countryside as an educated youth?"
No matter what happened at that time, their family was wrong and they were beaten for nothing.
"Yes, Xiaoxiao and I were assigned to the same production team. Now that we have registered our production capacity, we are a small group. You see, all of us educated youth are together, a total of 13 people."
Jiang Laoshi was overjoyed.
This young man is good. He did a good deed the last time he was beaten.
