Chapter 16: The Ye Family's Decision
Ye Zhengang wore a straw hat and held a shovel, and walked along the water flowing out of the pump, and saw that the water was about to overflow from the pool of the strawberry seedling mother plant, so he shoveled some soil to raise the ridge by the pond.
Seeing that half of it can be watered, he plans not to go home for dinner at noon today, otherwise this piece of land will not be finished until dark.
After pouring a pool, he was about to move the plastic water pipe to another pool to pour it, when he saw Luo Xiangnan trotting towards this side.
At first, he thought it was because he didn't go home, Luo Xiangnan was afraid that he would be hungry and brought him food, but no, Luo Xiangnan's hands were empty, and his eyes were red when he ran over, obviously he had cried just now.
"Go home, you hurry home with me. Luo Xiangnan was emotionally unstable, her lips trembled when she spoke, her heart was full of self-blame, she felt that she was useless as a mother, and she couldn't help her child with anything.
Ye Zhengang put down the water pipe: "What's wrong? Something at home?" Although Luo Xiangnan sometimes fights with him, when he was young, he was so bad that he could tear his clothes, but he was not a vexatious person. Seeing that she was so emotional, Ye Zhengang knew that something was wrong.
"Xiao Chi, Xiao Chi, she almost let Lao Xuetou's dog bite ......"
Ye Zhengang listened, didn't say a word, picked up the shovel and left. Luo Xiangnan grabbed him: "Why are you going? Go to find Lao Xue Tou?" Xiao Chi asked me to tell you, don't go to Lao Xue Tou, let you go home quickly, she has something to tell you. ”
Ye Zhengang listened, although he didn't know what Ye Xiaochi wanted to tell him, but he obediently closed the electric switch, unloaded the pump within a few minutes, and left in the car.
When Ye Zhengang went home, he saw Ye Xiaochi sitting on a chair in the hall, seemingly waiting for someone. Seeing him come in, Ye Xiaochi pointed to the chair next to him: "Dad, you sit first, I'm fine, you don't have to go to Lao Xuetou, his family's affairs, I'll talk about it later, now I have something to discuss with you." ”
Although Ye Zhengang feels that his daughter has changed a lot now, he always expects his child to develop on the better side, he would rather believe that his child has become like this because he has experienced so much and suddenly figured it out, otherwise he can't give any other explanation.
After confirming that she was not injured, Ye Zhengang sat opposite Ye Xiaochi. Wait to see what Ye Xiaochi wants to say to him.
"Dad, let me ask you, do you want our family to get richer and richer? Do you want to clean up this house well? Do you want me and my little brother to live a good life?"
Ye Xiaochi threw out three questions in a row, these questions were actually not a problem for Ye Zhengang, who could not want to? The problem was that he couldn't do it. So he smiled at Ye Xiaochi a little bitterly: "Why did you suddenly talk about this?"
He thought to himself, is the child irritated and angry, and wants to make the family rich, so that she can be better? It's a bit of a storm at home, so I can't afford it.
"I contacted a high school classmate in the morning, he will come over tomorrow to see the situation of vegetable production in our village, and I want him to come over and collect vegetables in our village. ”
"Collecting vegetables?" Ye Zhengang didn't know anything about the classmate Ye Xiaochi said, and suddenly heard Ye Xiaochi say it, of course he didn't know why, but he also knew that this matter had something to do with his family.
"Yes, collect the vegetables, he will come and see first, if it works, he will bring someone to live in our house, let's help him contact the vegetable farmer to send the vegetables over, he said, if it is successful, collect a pound of vegetables to our family a penny." ”
Ye Xiaochi's face was serious, Ye Zhengang and Luo Xiangnan listened carefully, "Dad, they use big trucks to collect vegetables, and they are required to collect at least one truck every other day, and it is best to collect one or two trucks a day, and the vehicle volume is about ten tons." If the quantity is less, they will not be able to come, they will transport it to the cold places in the northeast and northwest, and they will have to take the highway and pay the toll, so it is not cost-effective if the quantity is less. ”
Ye Zhengang and Luo Xiangnan are ordinary farmers, and they have never thought about this, at this time, after listening to Ye Xiaochi's words, Ye Zhengang also quickly calculated the account in his heart, a car of ten tons of vegetables, one ton is two thousand catties, one pound per catty......
He was not slow to settle the account, and after the calculation, he felt that he couldn't believe it. At this time, when he heard his daughter ask him if there were so many goods in the village, he said: "One or two cars a day is definitely not, one car a day is not a big problem, and now Xue Da has a big car to collect, and nothing else can be collected." Is this your classmate reliable?"
He had also heard that there were people in rural areas who helped people collect vegetables, but they had to know each other to have this good thing. I didn't expect my daughter to find one, but I was afraid that this person would be unreliable. After all, none of them had seen each other.
"Dad, I think it's okay, although the classmate didn't like to study when he was in school, but he was very good, he said that he and his uncle are now in a big competition for the place to collect vegetables, and there are more vegetables, and he is trying to find another place." As long as we can receive a car in two days now, he will come. And it can be collected in one place for at least several years. This year's vegetables are almost harvested, and next year's vegetables will come back when they come down. Dad, look at it, do you agree to this?"
Ye Zhengang thought of what Ye Xiaochi asked him when he first entered the door: Dad, do you want to make our family richer and richer? Do you want to clean up this house? Do you want her and her little brother to live a good life?
I don't have the ability to do it, but now that the child has come up with a way, and they have all been contacted, even if he is worried about new things, Ye Zhengang still feels a surge of blood and gas, and pats his thigh: "Okay, this matter is up to you, do it." ”
Ye Xiaochi thought that it would take a lot of effort to convince him, but he didn't expect him to agree so quickly, which would save trouble.
"Dad, this money is not given to us for nothing, he will come tomorrow, you take him around the field, let him see how the food is here. If it happens, we have to install the phone, and we have to prepare some rice, flour, oil, salt or something, the two of them live here, and our family has to take care of the food. Stay at least a month. ”
They all know that the phone bill is very expensive, and the shops and a few in the village with good conditions have been installed, and the couple has not thought about this, but compared with the income that Ye Xiaochi told them, those are very small investments. It takes a lot of money to farm. So Luo Xiangnan said: "This thing is okay, just be safe." If your classmates collect it here, our family will be safe, and my mother will cook the food for them. ”
Ye Jingtao had already come back, gathered around his parents and sister, watching the three of them talk, although he didn't understand very well, but he also knew that if what his sister said came to pass, it would bring great changes to their family.
was jumping in his heart, Ye Zhengang looked back at him and craned his neck to listen, so he said to him: "It's been a few days off, and you know how to play." Learn to accumulate know, you see how much your sister loved to read when she was a child. Go, write the essay I left for you, and show it to me to check when you're done. ”
Ye Jingtao wilted as soon as he heard this, but under his father's authority, he still opened the green canvas schoolbag, took out a pen, and sat at the table to think hard.
Hey, when will I grow up? When I grow up, I don't need to write essays. Ye Jingtao began to write on the paper with annoyance: The person I love the most is my mother. She has big eyes, red lips... Once I went out with Xiao Ming, and when I came back, I was doused by heavy rain, and I had a fever of 40 degrees, and my mother carried me to the hospital in the rain......
