Rebirth of farming for a living

Seeing what Li Xiangdong said, Ms. Zhang bit her lip. In fact, she was also happy to grow sweet potatoes. The seedlings cost no money and she didn't have to worry about selling them.With such a good thing, there are probably many people in the village who want to plant it.It's just that maybe she still suffered a loss that time. When it comes to Li Laosan's family, Mrs. Zhang always feels a little angry.

Seeing that Li Xiangdong was really angry, Mrs. Zhang was not indifferent, and said warmly: "Look, what are you in a hurry for? I didn't mean it like that. Third brother is thinking of us. It's not appropriate for us not to plant seeds."

Li Xiangdong also softened his tone: "I plan to plant three acres, what do you think?"

The four brothers of the Li family all had five acres of land when they were divided. Li Xiangdong's family had two pieces of land, one with two acres and zero, and the other with nearly three acres.

Li Xiangdong planned to plant all three acres of land with sweet potatoes.

Actually, he went to Mrs. Zhang before because he understood Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang did not want to earn money and spend it on her own. There were two boys in her family with a small age difference. After one said marriage, the other followed closely. On.

It’s also my fault that I have no ability and no savings. No wonder Zhang is anxious to make money, but she uses the wrong method.

Li Xiangdong is also eager to make money, but he is an old-school farmer after all. He can ruthlessly take out three acres of land, which is already a lot.

Although I believe in my younger brother, it’s not enough if we don’t grow wheat. A family of four also needs to eat and drink, right?

Zhang originally wanted to plant the small piece of land into sweet potatoes, but after hearing Li Xiangdong's words, she agreed warmly.

Therefore, sometimes the wife's ignorance is also related to the man's indulgence.

When Li Xiangdong became tough, Mrs. Zhang was frightened, so wouldn't she dare not speak nonsense?

After Wu Qing heard what the village chief said, he hurried to Li Xiangnan's house.

"Brother, I heard from the village chief that there are not many sweet potato seedlings. Brother, I want to plant more." Wu Qing said bluntly.

Li Xiangnan was already prepared: "Look, I haven't given you any information. I've already discussed it with Yan Yan. I'll keep you. How much do you plan to plant?"

Wu Qing also thought about it at home: "The land on the slope has two acres. If you think it can be spread out, I will plant two acres."

Li Xiangnan agreed without thinking.

Wu Qing's face blossomed with a smile: "Brother, you are so loyal."

Isn't that right? I heard from Village Chief Li that there are only more than 20 acres in total. There are forty or fifty families in the village. Wu Qing is very satisfied with being able to give his family two acres.

Li Xiangnan pretended to be angry: "What are you talking about? We are all our own people. Besides, you reminded me to find the village chief. This is a trivial matter. I will plant sweet potatoes at home in a few days, and you have to come and help me."

Wu Qing patted his chest and responded.

Li Xiangxi and Li Xiangbei also sent word to Li Xiangnan that the family planned to plant two acres.

Calculating this way, there are still 23 acres left.

It depends on tomorrow.

After breakfast the next day, Li Qiuyan held the contract that Awang and Shitou helped copy last night, and Li Xiangnan took the pen and ink and went to Village Chief Li's house.

Because many villagers were illiterate, Li Qiuyan also prepared additional cinnabar ink pads.

Wu Qing was the first to arrive and neatly pressed his fingerprints on the stone table of Village Chief Li's house.I didn’t rush to leave after signing.

Just stay here with Li Xiangnan and Li Qiuyan.

The villagers who gathered in a circle were not so quick. That was a breach of contract fee of ten taels of silver. It was difficult to ask Village Chief Li yesterday. If they were caught today, shouldn't they ask the Li family and his daughter?

Listening to the villagers' questions, Li Qiuyan and Li Xiangnan were almost overwhelmed. At this time, Wu Qing's role came into play. Someone saw Wu Qing standing calmly and asked Wu Qing to talk.

"Qingzi, have you signed it?" This was asked by an elder of the Wu family to Wu Qing.

"Sign it, I signed it first. Why not? I want to plant more, but Xiang Nan is reluctant because he is afraid that others will not be able to plant it." Wu Qing said.

"Why don't you want you to breed more?" a villager answered.

Wu Qing smiled and said: "Think about it, the rice seedlings don't cost money. The Li family also teaches us how to grow them, and they will buy them after we harvest them. We don't have to worry about not being able to sell them and get cash. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of such a good thing?"

The villager thought thoughtfully: "Then they still ask for compensation of ten taels. How can my family have ten taels of silver?"

"That's right, that's right." The villagers agreed.

Wu Qing said: "You really think too much. I see that everyone is having a hard time, so I want to help you. This thing is very rare. There are many people who are willing to plant it. If it weren't for the friendship between the same village, I would Why are you thinking about us? You just don’t break the agreement, right? I’m giving you money for free, and you’re still not happy about it.”

The villagers pondered.

Wu Qing continued: "Hey, if you don't want to plant it, you can do it. If it weren't for South Africa to subsidize everyone and let everyone try it, why would it be your turn to ask here? All the young men in the city want fifty acres." If that's not enough, he will keep the rest. Also, there are only twenty acres in total. It is not the turn of every family in our village to plant it. Besides, Uncle Li is the guarantee, so what do you have to be afraid of? "

As he said this, Village Chief Li nodded calmly. After accepting the money from the Li family, could he still help a little?

Upon hearing this, the villagers were all excited. They were afraid that their families would not be able to grow crops, so they rushed to have their fingerprints pressed.

Li Qiuyan cast his grateful eyes at Wu Qing. Seeing that the crowd was crowded, he quickly organized everyone to line up.
