XVII. Opportunities Presented by Disasters

Ma Jianjun's troubles have passed, and his father, Lao Ma Tou, has also got a good life under the care of Qiu Ge and the village chief Li Weiguo, which can be regarded as a good ending.

However, the luck of the old horse head is not over, it may be that Zhang Qiufang's persuasion has worked, Sun Yan came back with the child; this woman is also a kind person; knowing that Ma Jianjun was arrested, she still came back, because she knew that her father-in-law had no one to take care of.

Qiu Ge was touched by Sun Yan, and he decided to continue to help them, that is, in terms of material, but it was difficult to maintain the lives of the three members of the Lao Ma family just by relying on the income from the vegetables in the garden.

Although Sun Yan can still earn some wages when she helps her pack, it is not much, and Qiu Ge can't donate directly to Sun Yan, because that will not only hurt Sun Yan's self-esteem, but also attract gossip, which is not good for herself and Sun Yan.

Just when Qiu Ge was at a loss, a sudden hailstorm struck their village and two other nearby villages, destroying a large amount of farmland, but it also provided an opportunity for work.

The best land in Lingduhe Village is in the west of the village, which is a very flat land, with more than 3,000 acres, which is very rare in the mountainous area;

This hailstorm passed through this land, and the hailstorm was very large and very dense, destroying the crops on the entire farmland, and the best of the fields were basically out of production, which made many villagers lose their income.

Lao Ma's family also has land here, and it is the only land in the family, and they are counting on this year's income, but now there is no hope because of natural disasters.

After going to see the situation in the field, Sun Yan hid in the house and wept bitterly; the old horse head sat in the yard frowning and sighing, worrying about how to live this day of his family; after thinking for a long time, the old horse head got up and went to the barn.

Sun Yan cried for a while, and figured out that she couldn't solve the problem just by crying, and she had to find work to support her family, so she got up and wanted to wash her face.

But when she came out, she found that her father-in-law was gone, and knew that the old horse's heart was not good, and if he fell, it would be dangerous, so she hurriedly threw down the basin and searched around, and cried out loudly.

Finally, in the barn, he found that the old horse's head was hanged, and it was hanging on the beam of the house at this time; Sun Yan was so frightened that he ran out to shout and shouted people; it happened that Qiu Ge and Li Weiguo came to their house again, and after hearing the shout, the two people ran in quickly, and under the guidance of Sun Yan, the old horse's head was rescued from the beam.

Qiu Ge and Li Weiguo put the old horse's head on the ground, hurriedly checked it, and found that the old man still had a pulse, indicating that it had not been long since he hung it. After a period of treatment, the old horse's head was once again snatched back from the hands of death.

This old man was also forced to be helpless, he thought that if he died, he would not drag down his daughter-in-law, and Sun Yan would be better off with her children.

"Uncle, what will people say about your daughter-in-law if you do this? She came back to take care of you under pressure, and if you die, can't that person say that she forced you to die?" Li Weiguo complained, he wanted to use this method to dispel the old man's idea of suicide.

"Alas, it's better to say that it's better to be dragged down by an old man like me every day, I die, she can take the child back to her parents' house or go to other places, and she can live a better life. "The old horse head really figured it out.

When Sun Yan heard the old man say this, she cried even more.

"Uncle, you can't think like this, this will disappoint Sun Yan's filial piety. ”

"She is a good child, she is really filial, I know in my heart that my son is not good, let her suffer with it, I am a big burden, without me she can divorce Ma Jianjun and find a good family. ”

"Who said I was going to get a divorce? Sun Yan cried.

"Child, I support your divorce, let's go, if you stay in this house, you will starve to death, as long as you can take care of my grandson, I will be grateful to you." ”

"Dad, how can you think like that, how can you starve to death with me, I can find work and earn money. Sun Yan cried and shouted.

"Uncle Ma, you really think too extremely, there will be no starvation in this era, the government and the villagers will help you; Qiu Ge said.

"That's right, uncle, Qiu Ge has a way to help us save ourselves, and we discussed a way to be the first to come to your house......;

"Well, thank you as you should, but I don't have the ability to do so, but can you really help us?"

"Uncle, as long as you don't go to extremes, this can be regarded as a thank you to us; After Li Weiguo finished speaking, he looked at Qiu Ge.

Sun Yan stopped crying at this time, wiped away her tears and looked at Qiu Ge, her eyes were full of gratitude and hope.

"I have a godbrother who is a big vegetable maker, and I contacted him after the hail disaster here suffered; it is the twelfth day of July, which is the season for planting cabbage and radish; my godbrother gave me the task of planting cabbage on 3,000 acres of land, and I want to plant cabbage on all the land damaged by hail in our village, so that if there is a good harvest, the value of the output will be much higher than that of field crops." Qiu Ge said.

Indeed, after the hail disaster, Qiu Ge began to wonder if he could help everyone recover their losses, including his own family, and there was also his own contracted field in that land.

He knew that cabbage and radish could be planted in this season, but what he was worried about was the market, but he soon thought of Zheng Hongsheng, and this godbrother didn't know if he had the ability to help him.

So he contacted Zheng Hongsheng and told him about the situation on his side, but Qiu Ge emphasized that he couldn't be forced, he could do it if he could, and he couldn't force it to do it.

"Second brother, you don't know me yet, I'm also a businessman, of course I ask for profit, so I really can't do the loss of money, but you are also very lucky, I can really do what you said, you can rest assured, I definitely didn't reluctantly agree because of our feelings, but there is room for manipulation in this matter. Zheng Hongsheng said seriously.

"Yes, since that's the case, then I'll organize everyone to plant. Qiu Ge was happy in his heart, but his voice was still very calm.

"You can plant, but you can only prepare the land now, so I'll go to you at once, first to see my father and mother, and second, to send you seeds, and you must plant the seeds I give you. ”

"Oh, what's so special about this kind of self?" Qiu Ge was born as a seed, so he was very sensitive when it came to seeds.

"The growth period of this cabbage is only about 70 days, and it matures early, which can ensure that the cabbage is ripe when the frost comes, so as not to cause secondary losses. ”

"You are very thoughtful, we really came early in the frost here, so do we have a sale of your seeds?" Qiu Ge didn't want Zheng Hongsheng to provide seeds, that would be equivalent to Zheng Hongsheng's investment in advance, and it was risky.

"I brought this kind of cabbage seeds from Korea, and the cabbage produced is the type that Koreans prefer to produce, and you know that Koreans consume a lot of cabbage, so I plan to export the cabbage you grow. ”

"Okay, you can send the seeds quickly, and we'll prepare the land at once." Qiu Ge was very happy.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately found Li Weiguo and told him what he thought, and Li Weiguo was also very happy; they wanted to tell everyone the good news, so they came out and wanted to visit door to door; but they were also worried about Lao Ma's family, so they came directly to his house first, and only then did they have the matter of saving people again.

After listening to Qiu Ge's introduction, Lao Matou and Sun Yan both had spirits, because there was hope again.

"Qiu Ge, I agree to plant cabbage, but I can't do this land preparation and ridge work. "Sun Yan is a woman who has never done these jobs before, so she is very embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I'll help you complete the land preparation and ridge making at your house, and I'll also take care of the spraying of pesticides in the field in the later stage; in addition, Sun Yan, I still have something to discuss with you, I don't know if you can do it." ”

"What's the matter? You say, I can do what I can. Sun Yan immediately agreed out of gratitude.

"That's right, to prepare the land and grow cabbage, I need the help of my eldest brother, he is a good farmer, but if he goes to the field, he will not be able to take care of Liu Gang's parents, and I will also be very busy, and I have to take care of my father, so I ......"

"I'll take care of them, just tell me what they're going to do. Sun Yanmei waited for Qiu Ge to finish speaking and agreed.

"Hehe, thank you, Aunt Liu's health has not been very good in the past two days, and she needs someone to help cook, wash clothes, and clean up the house; Qiu Ge further explained the situation, and he couldn't make Sun Yan feel disgusted.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law helped wash it twice, and she vomited twice, and she didn't eat several meals, she was clean, and then Qiu Shuo helped wash it; Li Weiguo also reminded.

"It's okay, I'll rinse it twice and then wash it, and I can take it. ”

"Since that's the case, then you go and do it, and I also told Liu Gang that I will give you a subsidy of fifty yuan a day, not much money, you do it first, and when we have a bumper harvest in the fall, I will ask him to give you a little more." "Actually, Qiu Ge made his own decision, and he took the money himself.

"No, no, how can I ask for money? It's all from a village, I'm just doing a favor, I can't ask for money. Sun Yan immediately refused.

"You don't have to postpone it, you deserve this money, there is nothing wrong with working to make money, it is okay to help once or twice, but this is a long-term thing, and it cannot be done in vain. Qiu Ge said.

"Then don't be so much, just twenty a day, I can still go to the fields to work, don't delay the labor, there will still be income in the autumn, besides, Liu Gang's family is not rich, I can't ask too much." ”

"That's right, folks from a village, then give thirty, no one should fight, so it's reasonable for Liu Gang and Sun Yan, our salary level here is not high. Li Weiguo helped to settle the matter.
