After graduation, I went home to keep bees

When Jiang Xiaoman went out to make a phone call, Jiang Youliang actually didn't sleep the whole time, he couldn't sleep at all!

The son always told others that he was in charge of the family's money. On the one hand, he was afraid that Jiang Youliang would be alone at home when he went to school. If people found out that he had money, he would be targeted. On the other hand, the main reason is that their family really doesn't have much money... The son said so, just to support him.

Don't look at him planting so many things here and there, in fact, those yams are not worth much. Every family in the mountains has them, and no one usually spends money to buy them. They only carry them back to the hawkers who buy them when they are in the market. The price is also extremely low, and a basket of yams can only be sold for tens of dollars, not to mention the corn, which cannot be sold at all. It is said that it is a big deal, and the corn he grows is kept for his own family to eat or to harvest. Broken to feed the pigs.

The only thing that can be sold in the family is the two pigs, which can be sold for thousands of yuan a year. Jiang Youliang dare not touch a penny of the money, and has to save it for his son to go to school.He knew that his son was a student, but Jiang Youliang had never walked out of the mountains in his life. In his imagination, going to school in the city would not be able to survive without a thousand dollars a month.

Calculated in this way, Jiang Xiaoman needs to prepare at least 2 yuan for one year of college plus tuition, and 8 yuan for four years, which is a huge sum of money for Jiang Youliang!

So in these years, Jiang Youliang has put the word "saving money" to the extreme - whenever his son is not at home, his daily three meals are basically boiled yams, roasted yams, and stewed yams. Besides the new clothes he brought, he himself was reluctant to buy a pair of new socks.

But even so, I haven’t saved much money in these years. I have spent all my money, and I have less than 3 yuan. This is thanks to my son’s “good fortune”-he has solved the tuition and living expenses of the university by his own ability, let alone the 2 yuan. That's a lot of money. It is estimated that after four years of college, his family still has to owe a whole lot of debt!

Thinking of the "huge sum" needed to rebuild the house, Jiang Youliang couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning.

As soon as Jiang Xiaoman entered the door, he heard his father sigh heavily, feeling sore, walked over and sat on the floor, and simply shook his father up, first explaining that Tang Xinlan wanted to invest in the land of his old house as a homestay After a while, I focused on explaining the benefits of this matter——

First, new houses can be built without them spending a penny.

Second, Tang Xinlan will give them a "guaranteed floor price", no matter how many guests they receive every year, they will have an income of at least 8 yuan.

"I dare not ask others to support us! 8 yuan a year! How many guests will we have? How many people can we live in?" Jiang Youliang was taken aback, and he couldn't care less about sighing immediately. flipped over.

He has worked hard to save 3 yuan for five years, so how can he earn 8 yuan a year in a homestay?

And, most importantly——

"If our homestead is rented to Boss Tang to build a homestay, where will we live?"

This is a problem!

Jiang Xiaoman thought for a while, and immediately came up with an idea: "Next door to our house, Uncle Jin's family has moved to the city? His homestead is estimated to be sold, and the homestead in the village is not worth much now, let alone the land on our mountain. That's right, Dad, call Uncle Youjin and ask if his homestead is for sale? If the price is right, why don't we buy it. "

"At that time, our homestead will be used to build a homestay to make money, and the two of us will rebuild the house on the homestead with Uncle Jin's family."

In fact, Jiang Xiaoman can probably guess that when Tang Xinlan builds a homestay, he will definitely reserve housing for employees. Their home is so far away, and it is estimated that ordinary people will not go to the mountains to work. Living in a B&B is enough, but I haven’t seen Tang Xinlan yet, and he has never done a B&B before. I don’t know how it works, so I can only make my own plans first.

However, regardless of whether Tang Xinlan will reserve a staff dormitory for the father and son in the homestay, he wants to buy the homestead of the Jin family next door. He wants to start a small business by himself in the future, just like the pickles on the chestnut ditch. Like workshops and biscuit shops, even if you only earn one or two thousand yuan a month, it is much better than farming.

Most importantly, looking at a store is much easier than farming.It's just right for his father to take care of him!

Jiang Youliang was still worrying about building a house before, but now he heard his son say that he would buy the homestead next door, and felt that his brain could no longer keep up with the young people's ideas, so he simply went with his son, anyway, he only had 2 If you have a lot of money, even if you lose all of it, it's nothing.

The father and son calculated the money they had, and found that if they did not build a reinforced concrete house, but just a simple brick and tile house for the father and son to live in, 3 yuan would definitely be enough—there were only two people in his family, and a three-bay house was built. It is enough to live in. You can make the beams and roof by yourself, just buy some red bricks and cement, and ask a few people to help. It doesn't cost much.

Early the next morning, after Jiang Youliang fed the pigs, he immediately took out his cell phone and called his old neighbor Jiang Youjin.

Jiang Youjin was a lucky person. His wife gave birth to two daughters in a row, and the family planning in the village was strictly checked. How many people in the village laughed at them that they would not have a son to take care of them?

But who would have thought that the life of the old couple is much more comfortable than that of a son in the village!The two daughters went to work in garment factories in the early years, and they probably got acquainted with this industry later. One went to wholesale and made a lot of money, and the other specialized in recruiting workers for garment factories, and made a lot of money. I heard that the two sisters are now in the city. I have bought several houses and shops. A few years ago, because my two daughters had children, the two sisters were busy with business and had no time to take care of the children. The city went.

When he received a call from Jiang Youliang and heard that he wanted to buy the homestead in his home, Jiang Youjin was stunned for a moment. The two of them said they were neighbors, but in fact they were separated by hundreds of meters. Jiang Youliang kept his homestead for use. Why come to buy his house?

Jiang Youliang could only sigh and briefly explain how his old house was collapsed by a landslide, but he didn't say anything about Tang Xinlan's plan to use his homestead to build a homestay. The main thing was that his son said it. For one thing, tell him not to yell outside, otherwise if the matter fails, he will be laughed at by the villagers instead.

Jiang Youliang wanted face most, so he shut his mouth tightly when he heard this.

When Jiang Youjin heard that his old house had actually collapsed, or a mountain landslide, he immediately felt sympathetic. The mountain has collapsed, so it’s no wonder that his homestead cannot be used. The collapsed mountain is not easy to repair. If the slope protection is built, it will collapse when it rains in the future, and there will be no way to build a house on the original site.

The cost of slope protection is much higher than that of building a house, and ordinary people can't afford it. No wonder Jiang Youliang wants to buy his homestead... Speaking of which, although his family's mountain land is not as fertile as Jiang Youliang's, his family's There are rocky mountains out there, and the homestead couldn't be more solid.

Jiang Youjin said he wanted to discuss it with his two daughters, and he called him back before noon—his two daughters would not go back in the future, and they really wanted to sell the homestead in their hometown, but they wanted to stay connected. Several acres of mountain land at home were transferred out together.

Rural homesteads and individual forests and mountain lands cannot be bought or sold, but the right to use them can be transferred.Jiang Youjin made a price of 5 yuan, including the homestead and his family's moso bamboo forest and mountain land.

Jiang Youliang's heart sank when he heard this: Lao Jin, my family also has moso bamboo forest and mountain land, and I want to buy a homestead. Your moso bamboo forest and mountain land are useless if I buy them!

He's getting old, and Xiaoman doesn't like farming, why would he want to buy someone else's mountain land?Feed wild boars?

"We have no choice. If we sell the homestead to you alone, no one will want the bamboo forest and mountain land at home." Jiang Youjin is also in a dilemma. He has a good relationship with Jiang Youliang, but the family is in charge now. The two daughters, his two daughters came out to work very early, and they have a normal relationship with their relatives and neighbors at home, so they don't intend to waste the money.

"How about this, Brother Liang, why don't you go and ask if anyone is willing to buy with you, anyway, what my daughter means is to sell both my homestead and mountain land at once, and she doesn't care who she sells to." Jiang Jiang Youjin finally said.

Jiang Youliang was so angry that he felt that his old neighbor had changed since he entered the city, and even his brothers who had been around for many years began to care about everything.That's 5 yuan!Just buy a homestead that no one wants. How many years have those bamboo forests and mountain lands that Jiang Youjin mentioned have been abandoned?Moreover, his house is still a stone mountain, and the mountain is full of sand and gravel. There is nothing else to grow except sweet potatoes. Usually, he doesn't even go there to hunt pigweed. What do you buy it for?

"It's not bad to plant some sweet potatoes. Dad, wait a minute. I'll ask Sister Tang if you want it." Jiang Xiaoman is different from his father. He knows that mountain and forest resources will become more and more precious in the future. Jiang Youjin's bamboo forest and mountain land , bigger than his house.The homestead cost him 2 yuan. Such a large piece of moso bamboo forest and mountainous land cost only 3 yuan. If he hadn't been so tight, he would have bought it himself.

Sure enough, when Tang Xinlan heard that the homestead, bamboo forest and mountain land cost only 5 yuan in total, she immediately agreed. However, she didn't say enough, but asked him to drag the other party for a few days—

"We'll have a look at both sides on Friday, and if it's suitable, we'll buy it together."

Hearing that his son said that he would drag him down for a few days, Jiang Youliang was immediately happy: "It's better that people don't look down on Jiang Youjin's bamboo forest and land. I'd rather build a shack in the mountains!"At that time, the homestead of his family will be rotten and no one will want it!

There was no movement on his side, which made Jiang Youjin, who was far away in the city, panic. He pondered for a while, and felt that his behavior of forcibly "bundling sales" was indeed a bit unkind, but the family is now earning money to support the family. It was two daughters, and he didn't dare to quarrel with them, so he could only sigh at home alone.

Instead, he made his daughter laugh angrily.

Jiang Youjin's daughter actually didn't want to make money from the homestead and forest land in her hometown at all. The reason why she wanted to package and sell it in a bundle was to cut off from her hometown so that her parents wouldn't clamor to go back to her hometown to grow crops whenever they quarreled. Land——this time she sold both the homestead and the family's forest land, let's see how they can go back to their hometown?

"Well, Dad, wait and see. If Uncle Liang really can't afford so much money at once, just tell him that the payment can be paid in three years. Didn't his Xiaoman graduate from college? A college student came out to work. How can you save 5 yuan in three years?"

Where is Jiang Youjin willing to wait?In the evening of that day, he used the excuse that he was going to take his granddaughter for a walk, ran to the community and called Jiang Youliang, and told him the good news that he could "pay by installments".

"Hmph~ At least he still has a conscience! If I hadn't accompanied him to dig medicine and fight wild boars back then, where would he have the money to marry a wife? Where would he get these two daughters without a wife?" Jiang Youliang told the good news triumphantly. Son, I can't help but look through a few old accounts.
