Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

After saying that, the grandmother hugged Anyue into her arms and couldn't help but sighed to the sky: "Pan'er, did you see that? Yueyue is a smart and good child every year. She will definitely have a promising future when she grows up. You can rest assured!"

At this time, An Nian also stood up, ran over to hug his sister, and said, "When Nian Nian grows up, I will earn a lot of money and save it for my sister and grandmother."

"Okay, okay, we are good children every year and we are all good grandchildren of our grandmother."

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other, and the picture was warm and happy.

Just when the scene was peaceful, the grandmother suddenly remembered that An Yue had not eaten a single bite of food so far.

"Oh... I forgot, Yueyue must be starving. Come on, go inside and eat. The food grandma left for you should be hot."

An Yue touched her stomach and said with a smile: "Now that I heard what grandma said, I am really hungry! But grandma, it is almost dusk now, let's just make dinner!"

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren smiled, then stood up one by one and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook dinner.

Grandma poured the sorghum rice into a wooden basin, An Yue took the dustpan and put it back into the house, while An Nian followed her grandmother to the kitchen to help.

Just after dinner, the family was about to leave the table when the grandfather suddenly called everyone over and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave the table. I have an important matter to discuss with you now."

"This is a big money-making event for our family, so you might as well listen to Yueyue's plan first."

Everyone looked shocked.

Everyone looked at An Yue. They couldn't believe that the head of the family, who usually had the final say, would let his nine-year-old granddaughter arrange important matters.

An Yue stood up and said calmly: "Then Yueyue will start making arrangements now. If there are any unreasonable arrangements, I hope everyone will point them out one by one."

Everyone looked at her seriously and nodded at her.

"When the three of us signed the document, we were all present. Although we already know everything, in order to cooperate in the long term, we still need to unify the division of labor."

"I have agreed with the restaurant owner to deliver it the day after tomorrow morning, so the live fish and wild garlic must be prepared in advance by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

"First of all, the fishing task tomorrow will be completed by grandpa and uncle. Cooking is a top priority, so it will be handed over to grandma! Digging wild garlic is what Niannian is best at, so this task will be assigned to Niannian!"

"Sister, I'm afraid I won't be able to dig as much as I want every year."

"Just do your best, and I'm sure my sister will help you!"

"The price agreed upon with the shopkeeper is ten cents per pound for live fish and eight cents per pound for wild garlic."

My grandmother couldn't help herself and said excitedly, "Ten cents a pound! Oh my God! I've only just realized at this age that this fish can be sold for ten cents a pound."

Uncle Jiang Chenghai also stood up excitedly and said, "That's right! So selling fish is related to whether our family can live a good life in the future."

Grandma nodded repeatedly to show her agreement and said, "Yes, yes, Yueyue, go on."

"This is our first time sending fish, so we need to prepare about 100 kilograms of fish, and we can dig wild garlic every year as much as we can."

"Also, the live fish are delivered every three to five days. We need to deliver them continuously until the beginning of next spring, which should be the busy farming season."

Uncle Jiang Chenghai said: "I was wondering why Yueyue only agreed to a three-month validity period. It turns out that she was afraid that it would delay her farm work."

"Not entirely. The three-month fixed time limit is because after three months of continuous fishing, there should not be many fish left in the pond and our own paddy fields."

"Besides, by then, others will have realized that they can make money from this fish and will also start catching and selling them. In the spring, my family will definitely be doing farm work."

Uncle Jiang Chenghai crossed his arms and said, "If we can make a lot of money from selling fish, we can put farming aside for now!"

An Yue said: "Don't do that. There are too many variables in doing business. First of all, we have to be steady and cautious."

Grandfather Jiang Wuwen nodded, agreeing with An Yue's words, and said: "Well... I agree with Yueyue. People should not forget their roots. Food is the foundation of the people."

"Oh! There is one more thing. Grandfather and uncle, tell me how we can send so many live fish to the market."

Jiang Chenghai was the first to say, "That's easy. Uncle Zhang's cows are idle now, so I'll go and borrow his cart. It will be no problem. We can use the cart to deliver the fish, which will save a lot of effort."

Grandfather added: "You should discuss this matter with him tomorrow."

"Well, okay, the above matters have been arranged. Yueyue would like to hear if you have any other ideas?"

After a while, no one spoke.

Grandfather said seriously, "Also, we must keep this matter secret. The document Yueyue signed with Shopkeeper Wang is a confidential document. If you violate the agreement in the document, you will have to pay forty taels of silver. Remember! Don't tell anyone else."

"That's such a huge amount to pay!" My grandmother was really scared when she heard that she had to pay forty taels of silver.

Grandfather stroked his beard, nodded and said, "Well...if everyone has nothing else to say, then let's arrange it this way for now!"

Grandma finally saw An Yue's ability with her own eyes, and she couldn't help but say excitedly again: "Oh my god! Yueyue, when did you become so smart? Grandma was stunned."

An Yue was praised by her grandmother, and she became a little shy. She whispered, "Grandma, Yue Yue just came up with this idea suddenly."

Grandma quickly took An Yue's hand and said happily: "Oh, my good grandson, you already have this ability. Even if I die, I can close my eyes!"

An Yue hurriedly stopped her and said, "Grandma, please don't say that. Grandma is a blessed person who will live a long life. Good days are still to come!"

“Yes, yes… Grandmother is a blessed person.”

At this time, the family was talking and laughing, they were in high spirits and were able to see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

Afterwards, the family washed their faces, soaked their feet, and went to bed to rest.

An Yue lay on the bed, thinking about the past few days. The family had been eating corn porridge with sweet potatoes for every meal. If An Yue had not caught a pheasant, they probably would not have tasted meat until today.

She really didn't want to go on like this. She didn't want her family to treat each other coldly just because of a small piece of peony sugar.

Think about the things you have the power to change, and do your best to do them.

The next day, grandma got up early to make breakfast.

An Yue has long been accustomed to getting up early. After getting up, she prepares all the tools she will need for the day.

The breakfast was simple and the family finished it quickly.
