my home is in the northeast

8. Farming or opening a shop

Zhang Yuhe slept until three o'clock, and returned home in a relaxed mood. After the task was completed, there was no pressure.

I got up and washed my face, and my whole body was refreshed.

"Sister, are you still chatting? Are you not sleepy?"

"I'm used to it. No one will let me sleep at work." Zhang Yuwei laughed.

"Eldest sister, third sister, I plan to stay at home this time and see what to do. Do you have any good suggestions?" Zhang Yuhe sat down next to them, touched Mao Ni and asked while eating.

"Why are you in a hurry, let's talk after a good rest." Zhang Yuping said.The family has been much better in the past two years than before, unlike those years when the parents were forced to wash their faces in tears, otherwise the younger brother would not have dropped out of college and joined the army at a young age.

In addition to thinking about not hurting the family, I also want to subsidize the family a little.

Not to mention the younger sister, after her brother left, the younger sister also went to the south to work in anger.A girl who never left home went so far...

Thinking about these things now, Zhang Yuping feels her nose sour.She is useless as a big girl, and she can't speak in her husband's house, watching her good family become like that.

Back then, even though she said that the second sister had no choice but to appease the younger brother.In all fairness, even she herself is dissatisfied with her second sister, let alone her parents and younger siblings.

"That's right, you should rest first, and slowly think about making money." Zhang Yuwei didn't think as much as her sister, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm actually contracting a piece of land." Zhang Yuhe said that he went to the market today and saw that there were very few dishes. Make do with these."

"It's also a way, but it's not a small investment." Zhang Yuping nodded and said.

"Don't worry about money. If you have more money, there are ways to have more money, and if you have less money, there are ways to have less money." Zhang Yuhe smiled. He doesn't worry about anything. The big deal is to contract a small piece of land. Use it first.

The land of their family is quite ample. There are four members of their family on the household registration, Zhang Changgui and his wife, Zhang Yuhe and Zhang Yuwei's siblings, and the other two daughters have married and moved out of the household registration.

There is a lot of land at home, about fifteen acres or so.

Generally, we grow vegetables and some miscellaneous grains, and the rest are soybeans.Mainly for oiling.

Of course, with so many lands, not all of them can be eaten by themselves. Some soybeans and corn can be sold for some money.After selling the grain, and throwing away the pesticide and fertilizer money for a year, and labor, there is actually not much left.

Otherwise, Zhang Changgui would not set up a stall in the Food City.

All year round, if you can earn 2 yuan, it is not bad, and this is not counting the usual food and drink expenses.

There is still a son and a daughter in the family who are not married, and the old couple hardly takes out the money when it is in their pockets, and saves every penny.If the children came back, they would be reluctant to eat the sausages and sauced meat at home, and the chickens, ducks and geese should save their eggs until the children come back to eat.

Although the past two years have been better, Zhang Yuping, Zhang Yuwei, and Zhang Yuhe will send money to the family from time to time, and the two old people are content.

Now Zhang Changgui frowned when he heard his son say he wanted to farm.

"Yu Bao'er, this land is not easy to grow." Zhang Changgui didn't want his son to farm.

Zhang Yuhe was the treasure in his heart. Although his family was poor, he was spoiled and spoiled. He was never asked to work in the fields, only to study hard.

Zhang Yuhe was indeed upbeat. He was sensible since he was a child, good at studying, and good in personality, and he was admitted to a key university in the province smoothly.This was the first in their village.But everyone is not surprised, Zhang Yuhe has always been No.1 in his class in his studies, and he has never dropped out of the top three in the school.

It's just that Zhang Yuhe dropped out of school later, which made many people feel sorry.

Now hearing that his son is coming back to farm, Zhang Changgui feels even more distressed.

"Father, it's not traditional farming." Zhang Yuhe explained with a smile, "Greenhouse vegetables are out of season. At this time, the weather is cold and there are no fresh vegetables in other places. We can grow all kinds of fresh vegetables, such as beans , tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, etc. At that time, no one else could sell them, so why don’t we sell them at a good price?”

"Yeah dad, the price of off-season vegetables is quite high. It's only warm here in May, and we've been eating potatoes, sweet potatoes, radishes, and sauerkraut for several months, and we'll always get tired of eating them. As soon as Ling’s vegetables are on the market, why don’t you snap them up like crazy?” Zhang Yuwei laughed, “That’s several times more expensive than usual, maybe even ten times more expensive!”

"Can it be sold for so much?" Zhang Changgui's eyes widened.

"Of course. But it's not our market." Zhang Yuping interrupted with a smile, "When our leeks are on the market, the freshly cut vegetables are [-] cents a catty. Look at the supermarket, and you can't get five yuan during the Chinese New Year. .It doesn't go out ten times."

"That's the reason." Zhang Changgui nodded. "But Yu Bao'er hasn't been in the field a few times since he grew up so big, how can he know how to farm."

"It's okay, dad, if there's anything I don't understand, I'll ask you for advice." Zhang Yuhe went to Zhang Changgui's side to make do. "I'll get a few acres of land to experiment."

"Okay, you can work on your own. Don't be too busy, get enough rest first." Zhang Changgui hesitated for a while, but he still didn't want his son to farm the land. "If not, you can open a small shop, which is better than farming."

"Okay, Dad. I'll try. If it doesn't work I'll get a job, or open a shop."

"What are you two talking about?" Sun Cuifang entered the room, "Yuping, what's Lide's favorite dish? How about some stewed chicken with mushrooms?"

Wu Lide is Zhang Yuping's husband. He has been married for more than ten years. In fact, he just came to visit during the holidays. Usually Zhang Yuping came by himself, so Sun Cuifang wanted to ask.

"Don't bother, he can eat anything." Zhang Yuping smiled, she knew her husband very well.He has high vision and is quite proud. Even if he cooks a big table of meals for him, it can't change his opinion.In fact, it's not that Wu Lide wants to be like this, the main reason is that her mother-in-law and elder sister-in-law are all like this. They think they are from the city, and they are also the family members of leading cadres. .

This time, the younger brother came back from serving as a soldier in the capital, otherwise he would not have come easily.

"What are you talking about, kid? Help me cook." Although Sun Cuifang also knew that this uncle rarely came and didn't talk much, but thinking that he was from the city and his family conditions were good, he could not be arrogant. normal.

Zhang Yuwei also got up quickly and helped her mother and sister to cook. Zhang Changgui and Zhang Yuhe were the only ones left in the room.

"Yu Bao'er, have you really thought about it? It will cost a lot of money to build this shed, right?" Zhang Changgui said, "Father doesn't have much money, and he has saved 2 yuan in the past few years, which was originally for you to marry a wife." , if you want to do something, take it first."

The past few years have not been easy for the Zhang family. Although they can save [-] to [-] yuan every year, they still owe a lot of money. They have just paid off their foreign debts, and only the eldest daughter is left.Before, I gave the [-] yuan to Zhang Yuping, the eldest daughter, but Zhang Yuping refused to accept it.Said that she figured out a way by herself, and they didn't need to worry about it.

Zhang Changgui also knew that the eldest daughter must be in a difficult situation, but there are two children in the family, so he can only pay it back slowly.

"Father, I have money, so don't worry about me. You can keep the money and return it to the eldest sister's house, or save it for my third sister's dowry." Zhang Yuhe quickly waved his hand.

This is the old trick of parents, how can he use it.It's just an intention of him to build a vegetable greenhouse. Whether he can succeed or make money can't be said. How can he waste this money.

He still has hundreds of thousands in his hand, and he can always figure out a way forward.If not, you can still get a loan.

"Your third sister doesn't have a boyfriend yet, and besides, how much does it cost to marry a girl." Zhang Changgui shook his head, the money was saved by the old couple for their son.

"Father, this is not the time when my eldest sister got married." Zhang Yuhe paused when he heard this, but still expressed his thoughts. "Look at my eldest sister. She didn't have much dowry back then. I think she was a little bit pissed at her in-law's house."

This is what Zhang Yuhe said, and if the mother and daughter said it, I am afraid that Zhang Changgui will not have a good face. If his son said it, Zhang Changgui could only keep silent.

In fact, he also knew that when the eldest girl got married back then, she could be regarded as a high climber.The Wu family is from the city and a family of cadres. They are just a farmer who cultivates the land and has no money.

When they were not married, the young couple was fine. Over the years, he has also seen that the husband's family may not treat his girl very well.

The natal family is the backstage of the married girl. What can he do as a farmer, he can only hope that his son will be successful, so that his daughters can have a backing.
