◎One question after another◎
After lunch, Wei Xuan could only sit down and talk to her three brothers after she coaxed Yuanyuan to sleep.
Third Brother Wei is an impatient person, and this matter concerns whether he can see his wife often in the future, so he is the most impatient.
As soon as he saw Wei Xuan coming over from the next room, he couldn't wait for her to sit down and immediately asked her: "Little sister, can you really do what you said in the letter?"
Wei Xuan was in no hurry to answer him. Instead, she asked him first: "Third brother, before we talk about this, I want to know what you think about the fact that Third Sister-in-law wants to buy my job at the supply and marketing cooperative? It just so happens that both my eldest and second brothers are here. Let's talk about this face to face today. Say what you think in your heart now. After that, this matter will be over and no one can mention it again in the future."
After waiting for a while and seeing no one saying anything, Wei Xuan asked, "You guys don't say anything, so you don't have any objections? Then don't bring this up again in the future. No matter who brings it up again, don't blame me for not being nice."
Brother Wei glanced at his elder brother, who was looking down with his head, wondering what he was thinking. In the end, he decided that it was better to rely on himself, so he organized his words in his mind and said, "Little sister, to be honest, this job is yours. It was your freedom to decide who to sell. No matter who we are, we have no right to interfere, but..."
At this point, Brother Wei II looked at Brother Wei III before continuing, "But you also know how hard it is for us rural people to make money. Having this job is equivalent to getting paid every month. No one is stupid. The third brother's family is willing to buy this job. Don't your other two sisters-in-law want to buy it? All three of them are your sisters-in-law. You must be in the most difficult situation at this time. There is only one job. No matter who is given it, the other two will be angry."
"No, second brother," Third Brother Wei wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Second Brother Wei.
...
...
"Third brother, please listen to what I have to say first. I have no other intention in saying this. I just think that if we want to solve the problem, we must first point it out and put it on the table." Then he looked at Wei Xuan and said, "Little sister, you originally had good intentions. When you have good things, you first think of your mother's family. As a brother, I thank you. Besides, I can't turn against my brothers just because of this little benefit. I will chill your heart and make you do good things but still be in trouble. Don't worry, the work matter will definitely be over with me. I will go back and tell your second sister-in-law that I will never make it difficult for you to do it with her. As for the work, Third sister-in-law can buy it if she wants. Anyway, she has been taking your shift for so long, and it is right for her to take it."
After Second Brother Wei finished his words, First Brother Wei quickly responded by assuring, "Little sister, I will also talk to your sister-in-law, don't worry."
Wei Xuan laughed. It seemed that it took her elder brother a long time to utter a single word. It would be strange if he could convince her.
But no matter what, she felt warmed by the fact that her brothers were reasonable and did not blame her for being biased.
Originally, she had encountered so many troubles at work during this period that she was a little regretful that she shouldn't have been so kind in the first place. It would have been better to just sell her job, and there wouldn't have been so many troubles later.
But now looking at the attitudes of her brothers, Wei Xuan feels that her kindness has not been in vain. No matter what her sister-in-law thinks, for the sake of her brothers and parents, she still has to help her when it is necessary.
The work is not finished yet, and the eldest and second brothers can't just say they don't care. Although we are a family, sometimes it is better to be clear about things. After all, as the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly.
So she looked at the third brother Wei: "Third brother, the eldest brother and the second brother have spoken, so I also have a suggestion. You should listen to it whether it works or not."
"Okay, you go ahead," Third Brother Wei's face was swelling because of what his second brother had just said. Now that he saw his youngest sister had something to say to him, he hurriedly indicated that he was listening.
"Third brother, do you think this is okay? I will sell my job to Third Sister-in-law. I don't want much, just 300 yuan. You can use your monthly salary to pay me. Third Sister-in-law's monthly salary should be 32 yuan now. After deducting the expenses of food, accommodation, etc., even if she pays me 20 yuan every month, it will be paid off in more than a year. After Third Sister-in-law gets her own salary, she can give 10 yuan to my parents every month to make up for her not being able to work at home."
At this point, Wei Xuan glanced at her other two brothers and said, "The same goes for the eldest and second brothers. If you have other career options in the future and can't honor our parents, you still have to give us more money."
Of course, the eldest and second brothers of Wei had no objection. The main reason was that they didn't think they would have the opportunity to leave the village and move to a big city in the future.
As for Third Brother Wei, Wei Xuan didn't let him give her an answer now: "Wait until you discuss it with Third Sister-in-law tonight."
"Okay." Now, no matter what Wei Xuan said, Third Brother Wei would not refute. Things had come to this point, and he didn't have the face to ask for his opinions in front of his two brothers and younger sister.
"Okay, now that we have finished talking about this matter, let's talk about your grain collection."
Finally, it was the climax. The three Wei brothers pricked up their ears and listened attentively. Even the third brother Wei, who had been listless just now, straightened his back and wanted to listen to what his youngest sister had to say.
What did Wei Xuan say? Wei Xuan of course emphasized the fact that Cheng Shao made money from this job.
"If you really do what my little sister said, you can really make money doing this."
"Nonsense, why would I ask you to come all the way here if you can't make any money? Am I just going to tease you? Think about it, how big is Beijing? How many people live here? Don't they have to eat? Are they short of money? What they lack is supplies! In the past, although there was food in the countryside, it had to be handed in after the harvest. When it came to our own families, we couldn't even afford to eat and wear clothes, so we definitely wouldn't think of selling it. But now it's different. No matter how much food we grow, the bulk of it will fall into our hands. Just like this summer harvest, there must be a lot of food piled up at home, right?"
Thinking of the wheat in several rooms of the house, the Wei brothers nodded in unison.
"That's it. What you have to do now is to move the abundant food in the countryside to the city and sell it for money before others react."
Brother Wei was the first to understand the unspoken meaning behind his younger sister's words: "My younger sister, do you mean that more people will come to sell grain in the future?"
Wei Xuan nodded. It was not just about trading food. As long as it was possible to get supplies, what couldn't be sold?
So she said to her brothers, "This is an inevitable development trend. You see, now that farmers have grain, they want to exchange it for money to buy what they need. In the past, everyone could only choose to sell it to the grain station, but now it's different. Now that the economy has been reformed, everyone is allowed to do business. There are so many smart people, and there will be many who see this business opportunity. What we have to do is to seize the initiative before the policy becomes clear. In this way, even if someone does the same business as us in the future, we have already made money ahead of them. In addition, we have experience and connections, so are we still afraid of others competing with us?"
Brother Wei San was confused when he saw his little sister speaking so confidently. Is this still his little sister who always failed every exam?
Brother Wei was also confused. Apart from understanding that this job was useful and could earn money, he didn't understand anything else.
Only the second brother Wei fully understood what the younger sister meant. If it was really as the younger sister said, then this business could be done for a long time. Maybe at the beginning they could only hide from place to place and secretly collect and buy grain to be a small vendor, but as long as they were on the right track, it would no longer be a small business, but a big business with prospects.
Thinking of this, Brother Wei couldn't control his excitement.
"Little sister, besides food, can we also collect some eggs, vegetables and other things to sell?"
Wei Xuan didn't expect that her second brother would think so quickly and come up with this idea. She was surprised and said, "Of course you can. I was just about to tell you that, in addition to what you said, you can sell chickens, ducks, fish, etc. in the village. Of course, you should focus on food at the beginning. Vegetables will go bad if they are not sold. Besides, meat like chicken and duck is more expensive. You need money to buy them. After you have been doing this for a while and have a stable customer base, you can buy things according to their needs."
Hearing Wei Xuan talking about fish, Third Brother Wei suddenly remembered: "Little sister, when you wrote back to us before and asked us to rent the fish pond in the village, could it be that you thought of it in advance so that we can sell it now?"
Wei Xuan twitched her lips. She didn't know how to calculate, so how could she think so far ahead?
It is completely a seller's market now. As long as she has the experience, she will not lose money if she leases the fish pond. Even if she cannot sell the fish, she can sell them in her shop when she opens one in the future. That's why Wei Xuan dared to let her family lease the fish pond.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Brother Wei thought he had guessed right, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that my little sister thought so far ahead for us."
At first, Wei's father was not very willing to contract the fish pond. A fish pond would require all the family's money to be contracted. So when he went to the brigade headquarters to talk about this matter, the fish pond had already been contracted by the brigade leader's family and the contract had been signed.
At that time, the Wei family didn't take it seriously. After all, they had leased so much land, and having one less fish pond would mean less work.
Now that everyone has realized what has happened, they are starting to regret it.
Especially the second brother Wei said bitterly: "Wang Datou is such a bargain." Wang Datou is the eldest son of the team leader, and he and the second brother Wei have been at odds since childhood.
Wei Xuan saw that they were acting like they had lost money, so she quickly said, "That's enough. It's just a fish pond. There's no point in thinking too much about it now. You might as well think about how to collect the food without being discovered."
Yes! And how to transport food to the city is also a problem.
Wei Xuan was also thinking about this problem. Although they were both in the countryside, it only took Cheng Shao’s family an hour to ride a bike to Beijing, but it took two trips to get from the Dalianhua Production Team to Beijing.
If you take a bus for a long time, you will definitely be noticed. But if you ride a bicycle, not to mention the distance, how many kilograms of food can you carry each time? It's not hard enough.
Seeing that the brothers all looked worried, Wei Xuan stood up and said casually, "Don't worry, you can't get fat in one bite. We can only take it one step at a time. As long as we want to do it, there is always a way to do it. Okay, the child should wake up soon. I'll go to the next door to check on the child first. You should also drink some water to change your mind."
