The three children were born cute and adorable. Everyone in the Xie family was extremely happy, especially the kids, who would spend the whole day whispering to the three cubs.
When the three children were one month old, Su Li and Xie Zhengchuan discussed that when registering the children, they should change their names. Nicknames were acceptable, but full names definitely could not be called like that. Xie Zhengchuan also agreed.
However, Su Li was also confused. She heard that the nicknames of several children were all given by Xie's father. Why did his three sons have good names, but the names of his grandsons were not so good? Xie Zhengchuan teased her and told her that their names were given by a teacher who was sent down to Shanghe Village. Because Xie's father gave the teacher half a multi-grain steamed bun and he had no way to repay him, he helped to give the name.
The result turned out to be like this, Su Li was a little embarrassed.
The two discussed for several days and finally decided that Wang Dan would be renamed Wang Jingwei, Wang Tiedan would be renamed Wang Jingkang, Hu Zi would be named Xie Jingyi, Shi Tou would be named Xie Jinggan, Bao Ya would be named Xie Jingwan, and the three little ones would be named Xie Jingyu, Xie Jinghui, and Xie Jinghan respectively.
The little ones liked their new names very much and told everyone they met that they would call themselves by their new names from now on. As a result, many children in the village had to change their names to nicer ones.
The full-month banquet for the three children was also a grand affair. Because of the relationship with the brown sugar factory, Su Li was treated very well in Shanghe Village, especially the workers in the factory. When giving gifts, they almost always gave five yuan, which was definitely a big gift for that rural area.
Su Ruiying and her husband came with their entire family. Seeing their daughter's life getting better and better and having three grandchildren, her heart was as sweet as honey. There were three children in the family, and Su Li could not take care of them all by herself. Su Ruiying was reluctant to hug one or the other, so she simply stayed to help take care of them. Since they had already separated, she asked Su Changshun to carry some food to the old house to eat.
Seeing her in-laws like this, Xie's mother was so moved that she couldn't help it. The two old ladies held hands and thanked each other for their hard work. There were many children in the family, so Xie Zhengchuan discussed with Xie's mother and asked her to quit her job at the brown sugar factory. The job was directly given to Xie Wangcai's mother, who was Xie's father's cousin's wife. She was straightforward, quick-handed, and had a very good reputation. She was not nosy, but not afraid of trouble. She was a very kind aunt.
Su Li's mother had chosen her to come, but she herself was unwilling to come because her youngest son and daughter-in-law had been chosen. If she went to speak again, she was afraid that people would gossip about Su Li's mother. Now, Xie's mother gave it to her directly. Anyway, the money went into her own pocket, so let others say whatever they wanted. Thinking of this, Xie Wangcai's mother agreed.
The children in Su Li's family collected a lot of things.
She also took the opportunity when her sister-in-law and niece were home to ask them about their sewing skills, and there was no doubt that they were all experts.
She felt much more at ease. A few days ago, Xie Zhengchuan told her that the policy from above would probably be released in the next few days. Her heart was trembling when she heard it. She had waited for so long, and finally it came.
Since she wanted to start a business, she had to have her own base. Shanghe Village was her latest development site. She had been here for a long time and the people here were kind to her, but every household was too poor, and she wanted to help everyone get rich.
About half a month later, a loud speaker came from the outside of the mountain, asking everyone to gather at the threshing ground as he had something important to announce.
Su Li handed the three sleeping children to Xie's mother and Ruiying. She packed herself up and hurried to the threshing ground.
After everyone gathered, Wang Waishan looked a little nervous, because he didn't know whether everyone could accept this new policy. "Fellow villagers, Shanghe Village staff, according to the notice from the higher-level leaders, our collective system will be abolished from now on. The land will be distributed to everyone, depending on how much land each person has contracted. In the future, everyone will produce as much grain as they grow. Except for the public grain tax, the rest is their own."
"Ah~ What? Contracting? How can this be contracted? Isn't this speculation? I don't dare, I don't dare."
"I don't dare either. Isn't it nice for everyone to work together? We can share the food at the end of the year."
"I listen to the government. I do whatever the government tells me to do."
"Oh, if I grow my own corn in the future, what will I do if the harvest is bad? The government will not care about me!"
......
Everyone was talking about it for a while, and as expected, no matter if they were good at farming or those who slacked off all day, they were all as nervous as Waishan. They were all used to being the boss, and suddenly they were asked to take care of themselves, and they were really unsure.
However, the policy from above had already come down. In the evening, Xie Zhengchuan told her that the county had also issued a document to encourage everyone to do small business and open shops as self-employed individuals.
Su Li went to sleep that night with excitement.
The next day.
After Su Li finished feeding the three children, she packed up and prepared to go to the mountain. Before she could leave, Xie Zhengyang came over. It seemed that he came to see her.
"Brother, what's the matter?"
Xie Zhengyang scratched his head, moved a stool and placed it in front of Su Li, "Sister-in-law, it's like this, you see the village suddenly said that they want to contract the land, I... I don't understand, I asked my eldest brother, but he hasn't made up his mind yet. I thought you know more, so I wanted to ask your opinion?"
Su Li thought for a moment and said, "Second brother, your piglets are so good, why don't you expand the pigpen and raise more pigs? You can make a lot of money by selling them at the end of the year. Xie Zhengchuan told me that the current policy is good. If you and your second sister-in-law are too busy, you can hire someone in the village to help."
"Oh, is this okay? Then how many should we raise? There's no need to hire anyone. I can take care of it. Besides, Xiuzhi's brother and younger brother can help."
Su Li thought about it and nodded, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Second brother, you can raise more piglets and let the elder brother and younger brother of the second sister-in-law's family help you and learn some experience. Let them raise them themselves, so that their family will have surplus, right?"
She wanted to make the Xia family rich, mainly because Su Fang fell in love with Xia Zhi, and she couldn't let that girl live a hard life. However, the Xia family was really poor, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were penniless. It shouldn't be that poor, but she heard that Xia Xiuzhi's grandmother favored the youngest son. Their family was the eldest son, and often the old lady would take away anything they had. Unfortunately, Xia Xiuzhi's father was a foolish and filial son, so it would be strange if they were not poor.
"Yeah, why didn't I think about it, but what about the land? I have to farm it."
"The land must be cultivated. Second brother, you can contract more land. In addition to growing grain, you can also grow sugarcane and sell it to the brown sugar factory."
"Ah~ Isn't that the truth? Then I'll go ahead, sister-in-law, let me discuss this with your second sister-in-law."
"Okay, second brother, I'll go with you. I just need to talk to Uncle Waishan about something."
"good."
