On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, when Zhenhua was teaching at school, he received good news.

Yilan gave birth to a six-and-a-half-pound girl.

Zhenhua was overjoyed, asked the principal Xu Jin for leave, dropped his textbook, got on his bicycle and ran to the health center.

Zhao Chenghai also got the news, as if someone had broken his muscles and bones, he sat on the threshold of the house with a plop, and muttered with a depressed face: "So delicate, spending money to go to the hospital to give birth to a child, but not angry, just gave birth to a little girl! I'm busy all day long, and I'm busy with a fart!"

In rural society, the idea of preference for sons over daughters has a long history. The son can continue the incense and maintain the bloodline. What's the use of raising a daughter? Raising a cow to the size of a big bull is not someone else's?

Zhao Chenghai didn't know what "Wei Zifu dominated the world", and he didn't believe in the story of Yang Yuhuan's six palaces being the only pet and the glorious birth. All he wanted was a grandchild. If the policy allows, Zhao Chenghai even hopes that Zhenhua and Yilan can bring four or five grandchildren for themselves!

Many sons and many blessings, children and grandchildren around the knees, is the happiness that Chinese yearn for the most!

On the nineteenth day of the first month, Yilan was taken home from the hospital.

Cui Hong was not happy, but she hid her thoughts in her heart, took out her grandmother's kind smile, served her daughter-in-law, and took care of her granddaughter.

Yilan and Zhenhua don't care, they regard this daughter as a baby, and every day when they have free time, they stare at their daughter, and they are reluctant to roll their eyes.

When this child was born, like Qi Shuai, his face was not stretched and he looked ugly.

After three or five days, the child gradually changed, became whiter, became fatter, and became more and more cute.

Zhao Chenghai was depressed for several days, and finally accepted the reality, and gradually showed a smile again.

Because the policy stipulates that couples with rural household registration have the first child as a daughter, and they can also have another child. Zhenhua and Yilan still have hope to have a son!

On the twenty-second day of the first month, Chunlan once again packed her bags and went to work in the south.

This time, there were two little girls in the village who followed Chunlan Yiping to the south together.

The hometown is too poor to keep these young people who are eager to earn money. Moreover, every young heart is pounding, and they are all longing for the scenery of the big city!

……

Compared with Zhenhua's happiness, Qi Lei has had a miserable year this year.

In the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, Qi Lei rented three private houses for a long time as his foothold and the base camp of the construction team. Sometimes, when the previous project is over and the next project has not yet come, when the green and yellow are not available, Qi Lei takes the workers to the base camp in the eastern suburbs to rest.

This year, Qi Lei spent it alone in the base camp.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Qi Lei cooked his own dishes and placed three pairs of cups and chopsticks on the table, one for Zhenhua and one for Xiulian.

Then, Qi Lei held a wine glass and toasted to the air: "Zhenhua and I have a drink, Xiulian and I have a drink, and our three brothers and sisters have a drink together......"

The landlord lived opposite, and when he saw Qi Lei's actions, he was terrified, and thought that Qi Lei was possessed by a ghost!

Throughout the Spring Festival and a half, Qi Lei was drunk and dreamed of death, and spent it dizzy.

It wasn't until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month that Chen Daogang arrived with a few workers, and Qi Lei had some spirits.

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, Qi Lei received a letter from Zhenhua to report the good news.

However, Reviver could not go back, because a new project had already begun. He could only send a letter to Zhenhua to congratulate him, and remitted a thousand dollars, which was considered a congratulatory gift to Zhenhua's daughter.

This is a big project, and I am responsible for the construction of an elementary school.

The primary school in the city is not like the primary school in Dongwan Village, where you can just build a few houses.

The school that Qi Lei took over is expected to accommodate about 1,000 students, and the classrooms and staff dormitories are added together, and the amount of work is very large.

The amount of work is large, so a large number of workers need to be recruited.

In the new New Year, there is no blind stream in the city for Qi Lei to exploit. Qi Lei had no choice but to let Chen Daogang go home to recruit workers, and by the way, he brought a letter to Zhenhua and asked Zhenhua to recruit for himself, as many as he wanted, not limited to large and small workers!

Fortunately, there were a lot of idlers in the spring, Zhenhua went around the four groups in Dongwan Village, and went to the nearby villages to publicize it, recruiting seven or eight big workers and five or six small workers for Qi Lei.

Chen Daogang also found a few workers for Qi Lei from his own village and went to Nanjing together.

Daddy Zhenhua is also eager to try and go to the construction site of Qi Lei to do small work. Anyway, there is nothing to do in the spring, and the farming work will not start until the end of March.

Zhenhua resolutely disagreed and persuaded each other bitterly. Dad went to the construction site, how did he ask people to arrange it? Isn't it obvious that he is taking advantage of others?

With such righteousness as Qi Lei, he will definitely treat his father as an old lady, worship him with good food and drink, and finally double his salary.

In fact, Zhenhua's father is also thinking like this! Qi Lei and Zhenhua are brothers, can they still treat themselves badly? As long as they go, making money is as easy as picking up money!

Zhenhua is against it, and Zhenhua's mother is also against it.

Zhao Chenghai was lonely, so he had to give up, and angrily raised pigs at home and picked up dung.

During the Qingming Festival, Qi Lei hurriedly came back and went to Xiulian's grave with Zhenhua.

This time, Qi Lei didn't go home at all.

Zhuang Xiaodie was disappointed, and scolded again behind her back, saying that Qi Lei did not go to his ancestral grave to worship his ancestors, but gave Xiulian a grave, which is simply unworthy of his descendants......

Spring flies by.

At the end of the third month of the lunar calendar, Zhenhua asked his father to discuss the purchase of a tractor.

Zhao Chenghai made a straight face: "What are you buying a tractor for? It's not that you can't be busy! Make the cattle a little slower, but you don't have to worry about the work of plowing the land, I can do it." ”

Zhenhua began to use the plan and said with a smile: "Dad, if you have a tractor at home, if you don't raise cattle, you will have more time." When the time comes, during the off-season, you will go to work on the construction site of Qi Lei...... In fact, you don't have to work, you just show Qi Lei the materials on the construction site, and Qi Lei can still treat you badly? Maybe you can earn back the money of a tractor in a year!"

When Zhao Chenghai heard his son say this, his mind moved, and he frowned: "Why don't you buy a tractor after the noon harvest?"

Zhenhua hurriedly said: "If you want to buy it, you can buy it now, what else can you buy after the noon harvest? Buy it now, cultivate the land, and it will come in handy immediately!"

Zhao Chenghai gritted his teeth and thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, go buy a tractor." I'll take a look at it when I buy it, and if the tractor is good, it can completely replace the ploughing cattle, so I'll sell the ploughing cattle!"

Zhenhua was overjoyed and thanked his father for his kindness.

Early the next morning, Zhenhua invited the third master of Gao to go to Heyuan Town together and drove back a brand-new six-horsepower walk-behind tractor.

For this tractor, Zhenhua discussed behind his father's ass for three years, and today his dream finally came true.

Zhenhua knows that his machine farming era has finally come!

What should come, will come.

Dad has always prevented himself from buying a tractor, but with the changes in economic conditions and environment, he still did not stop after all.

(The new month begins, ask for a monthly pass!Thank you!)
