In the hall, Huang Guodong didn't dare to get on the chair, sitting on the pony near the door and feeling uneasy, Li Dongmei poured him a glass of water, looked at Liu Jinju sitting next to him, and was embarrassed to pick it up.

Li Yadong ran into the kitchen to light the fire, while talking to his mother.

"Mother, do you know the situation of the fourth sister?"

"I know ......" Hu Xiuying sighed and said: "I'm with her, just like you said, it's her who will live in the future, as long as she falls in love with herself." ”

Think about it, if his mother is against it, Huang Guodong dares to pedal their family's bicycle openly and send his fourth sister home?

"Big brother?" Almost without thinking about it, Li Yadong guessed the reason, and eighty percent of the factors that could make his mother unable to pay attention came from his eldest brother.

Hu Xiuying nodded and said: "Your eldest brother said that this young man's family background is not good, and if he really wants to marry Dongmei, he will definitely suffer, so this matter can't be too urgent, you have to observe and observe first, at least you have to have a good character before you dare to shoot this board, saying that you have to occupy one of the two ends." ”

"So that's the case......" Li Yadong couldn't help but sigh when he heard it, there was really nothing wrong with this thing, but he was a little too hasty.

Then he asked, "Then there should be a while of observation, so there is nothing to say?"

"I think it's okay, people are also very diligent, Dongmei didn't ride the car well, she fell several times, the young man came to pick her up whenever he was free, last time your Aunt Guizhi was sick, I took the time to go over early in the morning to take a look, and the firewood at the door was chopped up, and then I heard Dongmei say that he did it. Your eldest brother came back at the beginning of the month to see again, and he only had to wait for the New Year to see what he said. ”

Hu Xiuying paused when she said this, and couldn't help complaining, "You said that this matter is making trouble, how old is Dongmei, I am about to break your second sister when I am as old as her." ”

When Li Yadong heard this, he had a bottom in his heart, and he knew that he didn't run away, and replied with a smile: "Mother, that's different, the era is different, isn't it family planning now, the country advocates late birth and late childbearing, you listen to the eldest brother about this, that's right!"

Because there were more outsiders at the dinner table, the atmosphere was a little cold, Li Yadong began to take the initiative, went back to the room and took out a bottle of Moutai, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, take two cups?"

He thought that sooner or later he would have to call it, who would let his fourth sister like it, even if he was a beggar, he would have to call his brother-in-law.

But Huang Guodong listened, but he was frightened, subconsciously glanced at Hu Xiuying, and after seeing that she didn't react, he hurriedly replied: "Listen...... Listen to you. ”

Liu Jinju was a little surprised, and glanced at the little uncle in surprise, while Li Dongmei quickly lowered her head, unconsciously showing a smile on her face, thinking that it would be good for her brother to come back.

"Mother, will you drink some?"

Hu Xiuying waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you two drink." ”

Li Yadong was not reluctant, he found two wine cups from the table and filled them, handed over a glass, and Huang Guodong quickly got up and took it with both hands.

After the two of them walked slowly, Li Yadong asked with a smile: "Brother Huang, are you busy at the end of the year?"

"It's okay now, it's not that it's not the end of the year yet. Huang Guodong smiled, somehow, the person opposite was obviously younger than him, and he had always been pleasant, but he always felt a lot of pressure.

"That's just ......," Li Yadong said, and said that he was going to buy a new set of furniture.

Huang Guodong's face was happy, this is undoubtedly a good thing, it doesn't matter if the money is not money, if he really wants to give it, he doesn't dare to take it, so he thinks about showing it well, and when he is about to come down, he doesn't want Hu Xiuying to suddenly open his mouth.

"Xiaodong, why waste this money, can't it still be used?"

"Mother, this is not called a waste, as the old saying goes, the old does not go to the new one, I have just seen it, the bed board squeaks, several cabinets have been gnawed by rats, do you think it is appropriate to put it in the new building, besides, the third sister-in-law still has a big belly, what if the bed collapses, what should I do, the top priority, first of all, I have to give her a new bed. ”

As soon as he said this, Hu Xiuying really didn't dare to object, the world is big, and it is not as big as the baby in the belly of her third daughter-in-law, and the old Li family's goods may be this one, with a probability of one in two, the hope is still quite big.

Liu Jinju smiled and didn't speak, needless to mention how happy she was, she had been married to Lao Li's family for several years, when she had such treatment, the whole family had to revolve around her. At this time, I was praying in my heart, hoping that the little guy in my belly would be more energetic and multi-rooted, and her status in the old Li family would definitely be different in the future.

"Brother Huang, do you think so?"

"Chengcheng...... I'll be here tomorrow. Huang Guodong hurriedly replied, in fact, he had just taken two jobs recently, and decided to push them off, this time he didn't plan to make money, so he was thinking about doing a beautiful job to see if he could earn a daughter-in-law to go back.

After eating, Huang Guodong was ready to smear and ride home, Li Yadong saw that he had drunk, and specially found a flashlight and adhesive tape to help him make a simple pathfinder lamp in front of the bicycle.

Early the next morning, Huang Guodong really carried a tool bag on his back and rushed over early in the morning, there is naturally no shortage of wood in the countryside, and if you fancy the tree on the mountain, you can cut it casually, anyway, no one cares about it this year.

And after Li Yadong had breakfast, he rode a kick and drove Li Dongmei to Jiangzhong Village.

Last night, he roughly heard from the fourth sister, saying that the duck factory is now in good shape, although it does not reach the scale of 1,000 ducks he expected, but there are still seven or eight hundred ducks, so I want to go there early in the morning to have a look.

After the two came to Jiangzhong Village, they were not in a hurry to go to the duck factory, first went to his uncle Hu Decai's house to sit for a while, his uncle does not smoke, but drinks, Li Yadong specially brought a bottle of Moutai over, mainly he didn't bring a few bottles of this thing, it is really not very easy to bring, otherwise he will definitely have to bring two bottles.

Then I came to the duck factory, and this piece really changed significantly from the appearance of birds not laying eggs last year.

Two rows of red brick and black tile houses are horizontal there, Li Yadong personally designed, naturally no stranger, next to a bungalow, a joint three, for people, along the periphery of the duck factory, all the way to the river, a large area is covered with barbed wire, this is not within the scope of Li Yadong's design, eighty percent is in the process of breeding to find any problems, such as ducks like to run around, so specially made. There are also two small wooden boats docked by the river, and now I think about it, it is probably a necessary facility, otherwise the ducks will run too far in the river, and it will be difficult to rush back.

There are no workers in the duck factory, just a few people from their own family, Li Yadong's third brother, second sister, and second brother-in-law, including two cousins, plus a fourth sister, a total of six people, can also handle it.

Li Yadong didn't know it when he went home, and when he heard the sound of kicking, he ran out and took a look, and they were all excited.

"Xiaodong, why did you come back so early this year?"

"Oh, Xiaodong, come on, I miss my sister to die, come over and let my sister take a good look......"

When they were looking at themselves, Li Yadong was also looking at them, everyone looked a lot thinner than a year ago, especially his second sister, who was originally half fat, but now it seems that she has returned to the girlhood all of a sudden, beautiful is beautiful, but I don't feel used to it.

So the situation of the duck factory is by no means as good as his fourth sister said, these relatives Li Yadong know very well, almost no one has any breeding experience, compared to even inferior to his mother Hu Xiuying, at least a few big fat pigs, but now they can raise seven or eight hundred ducks in a good way, how much suffering they have suffered during this period, I am afraid that only they know.

"Good work, guys. Li Yadong looked at the slender appearance of his second sister Li Chunlan, and his eyes turned red.

"It's not hard, it's not hard, what's so hard......" Li Chunlan took his hand, led him into the house, and said with a smile: "Xiaodong, don't you know, now the duck factory can pick up hundreds of eggs a day, and after selling them, they can be used for feed money, let's start raising ducklings, and each duck raises several catties of meat, which is all earned......"

A group of people sat on the stool and chatted well, basically they were talking, Li Yadong was listening, it was what happened in the duck factory during the year.

For example, at the beginning, the duck never returned to the nest, and sometimes ran to the middle of the river, and his third brother and cousin had to swim down to catch it.

For example, it was too hot in summer, and once on a rainy day, I was afraid that the ducks would get into the water, so I closed the doors and windows, and dozens of ducks died of heat at once.

There are countless such things, although they say it lightly and tell jokes, but Li Yadong can put himself in their shoes and experience their difficulties.

In short, everyone has really suffered this year, you must know that his second sister's fat-prone physique, the weight of farming and soil in the past is growing, and this year, at least twenty catties of meat have been thrown off, which is bitter and bitter.

"Guys, you've gotten through the hardest year. ”

Near noon, when it was time to eat, Li Yadong also listened to the work report and began to summarize, "Next year will be comfortable, everyone is now a veteran of duck raising, next year the duck factory here you are only responsible for management and guidance, no need to work, ducks we hire people to raise." ”

"What?" Li Chunlan directly put flowers on her head when she heard this, and she worked hard to take care of the big duck and let others raise it, so she was not happy, and she felt like making wedding dresses for others.

Li Yajun was also surprised: "Xiaodong, we raise it well, why should we hire people to raise it, and we can't give money to others if we hire people to raise it?"

"Yes, Yadong, isn't it good for us to save this money ourselves, why do we have to earn it for others?" The eldest cousin Hu Wen was also puzzled.

Li Yadong glanced at everyone present, and saw that although his second brother-in-law, second cousin, including the fourth sister did not speak, he could see from his expression that he also had the same doubts, and couldn't help but smile, "Because you have more important things to do, you have to start preparing to make money next." ”

"What? Finally want to make money?" When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

Their current situation is that they are guarding a bunch of treasures, but they can't exchange money, because Li Yadong explained a long time ago that they can't sell a single duck, and they don't know how many livestock dealers have come to the door, and the feeling of watching the white banknotes slip through their fingers is really too grinding.

"Yes. Li Yadong nodded and said: "The reason why I came back early is to a certain extent to lay the stall, so that everyone can easily make money next year." ”

"That's great!"

Everyone was overjoyed, the smile on their faces couldn't be hidden, they had worked hard for a whole year, and they had paid for a whole year, which can be regarded as getting through.

This is much faster than they imagined, and they have the feeling that the crops in the field are about to be harvested
