Return to 1980 and be a matchmaker

Poxin Village.

Zhang family.

Hearing Zhang Xiuping's inquiry, Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang perked up. They dreamed that their men would have the opportunity to work in their brother-in-law's tile factory. After all, the wages were so attractive!

So, both of them looked at their father-in-law, wondering if he really had this idea.

In front of his daughter, Zhang Zhenfa did not hide his thoughts. He nodded and said: "I do have this plan. Your eldest and second brothers have nothing to do now. Please help me pay attention. If there is a chance, tell Yuntai or your father-in-law. Arrange your eldest brother and second brother to work in the cylinder tile factory.

If we do this for a year or two, our family will have enough money to build a new house. "

Although Zhang Shouguo was a little moved after hearing this, he still couldn't help but said: "Dad, Pingmei has just married into the Deng family, and she hasn't even established herself yet. Even if we can't help, we can't be held back by going to work in the tile factory." There’s no rush in advance, let’s talk about it later when we have a chance!”

Zhang Shoumin also nodded and said: "Brother is right, we are not in a hurry to do the work. We will wait until Pingmei has settled into the position of sister-in-law in the Deng family."

After all, Zhang Xiuping is their only sister. The two brothers still feel sorry for her and are unwilling to burden her at this time.

Hearing what her two brothers said, Zhang Xiuping felt a little relieved. Thinking of what her father-in-law said to her yesterday, she shook her head and said, "Dad, there is absolutely no need for the eldest brother and the second brother to work in the tile factory, whether they are working as tramplers." Whether you are a bricklayer or a bricklayer, you will not have much future."

As soon as these words came out, the Zhang family couldn't help but look at each other, and they were all frightened by Zhang Xiuping's tone.

Zhang Zhenfa really didn’t expect that his daughter had only been married to the Deng family for three days, and she already despised the job that paid tens of dollars a month. He said with a speechless face: "Xiuping, you think everyone has the same skills as your husband." With technology, you can earn more than 200 yuan a month. Your eldest brother and second brother have no skills, but they can earn dozens of yuan a month, which is already very good."

Zhang Xiuping said: "Dad, if it were a few years ago, your idea would be very correct. Being able to have a job that pays tens of dollars a month would be something that many people would envy. But now we have reformed and opened up. , going to the cylinder tile factory to work hard to make money is no longer the best choice."

Zhang's mother interrupted and asked, "Xiuping, what do you mean by your words? Do you have any good ideas?"

Zhang Xiuping said: "Yesterday when I was chatting with my father-in-law, I mentioned the situation of the eldest brother and the second brother. Then my father-in-law pointed out two ways. Listen to what I said. If you think it is possible, give it a try. If If you think it won’t work, just pretend I didn’t say it.”

Zhang Shouguo perked up after hearing this and asked quickly: "Pingmei, please tell me, which two roads are there?" He admired his sister as a father-in-law very much. After all, he was able to live so well in the countryside. A man of real ability.

Zhang Shoumin also looked at his sister with excitement. He now had a lot of energy, but he didn't know where to use it. If someone could help give guidance, maybe his life would be different.

In Zhang Shoumin's mind, his sister's father-in-law was a capable man.

Father Zhang and Mother Zhang looked at each other, and both pricked up their ears to listen.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiuping raised a finger and said: "The first way is to plant or breed at home.

Let’s talk about planting first. My father-in-law’s suggestion is to plant lychee trees or longan trees. You guys should all know this. My father-in-law’s family has reclaimed the mountains and turned them into an orchard. Even the tree pits have been dug. They can be planted in the early spring of next year. The lychee tree is gone.

I heard from my father-in-law that if everything goes well without any natural or man-made disasters, the fruit will be born the year after next. In the first year of fruit bearing, the investment cost can be recovered, and even a small profit can be made.

By the third year, you can make a lot of money, at least several thousand dollars. You can make a lot of money every year from now on. This is much better than working in a tile factory. "

The Zhang family were dumbfounded by these words.

Zhang Zhenfa said with shock on his face: "Xiuping, is this really what your father-in-law said? Can you recover the cost of planting lychees in the second year, and make thousands of dollars in the third year?"

Zhang Xiuping nodded and said: "That's what my father-in-law said. Of course, this is under the condition that everything goes well. If the management is not good when they are first planted, or there are natural disasters such as typhoons, cold disasters, and hail, the fruit trees will most likely not be planted." If you don’t live, not only will you not make any money, you will also lose all your capital.”

Hearing that he might lose all his money, Zhang Zhenfa calmed down instantly. Although the three disasters his daughter mentioned are not encountered every year here, the frequency of these disasters is still quite high, so the risks are Still a bit big.

Zhang Shouguo, who also calmed down, said: "Pingmei, please tell us more about breeding."

After hearing this, the others put aside the lychee planting for the time being and sat there like primary school students, waiting for Zhang Xiuping to teach them.

Zhang Xiuping nodded and said: "This farming means raising pigs, cattle, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. Now the country has not only relaxed restrictions in this area, but also encourages us farmers to raise animals. According to my father-in-law's instructions, It is said that no matter what you raise now, you can make money.

As for how much you earn, it depends on the scale of breeding. The more you raise, the more you will earn.

However, my father-in-law also said that if you are engaged in breeding, there is nothing to say if you raise a small amount. Everyone has experience, but if the breeding reaches a large scale, you have to consult experts in breeding to avoid accidentally making mistakes, resulting in If the farmed poultry and livestock get sick, it is very likely that all the investment will be lost. "

Zhang Zhenfa frowned when he heard this. The risk of breeding is also not small!

Brothers Zhang Shouguo and Zhang Shoumin were also undecided after hearing this. It seemed that whether they were planting or breeding, they needed to bear a lot of risks.

Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang were also silently calculating in their hearts to see whether it was more cost-effective to engage in planting or breeding, which one had higher risks and which one had lower risks.

Mother Zhang couldn't help but ask: "Xiuping, you just said there are two roads. The first road has been mentioned, so what is the second road?"

Zhang Xiuping didn't hide it and said directly: "The second way is to be a self-employed person, open a store and be the boss."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone else in the Zhang family changed drastically, except for the young Zhang Shoushan.

They have all experienced the madness before. At that time, they were scared to sell a few eggs secretly. Even P litchi (that word cannot be transliterated in Mandarin, which probably means that when the lychee tree blooms, they go to discuss with the owner of the lychee tree to use it. How much does it cost to buy the lychees, wait until the lychees are ripe, then pick them and sell them, and then make a profit on the price) is considered speculation.

Although it has been two years since the reform and opening up, and the country is also encouraging farmers to start their own businesses, after all, only a few people dare to open shops and do business. Most rural people still dare not take this step, for fear that if they are not careful, they will be regarded as speculators. Caught in.
