"Why did you just come back now? Just now your aunt and uncle came over and asked about you. As soon as Wang Bo returned to the rice noodle shop, he heard Wang Jichang complain.

"With Li Niang, they bragged about Ha Niu. What's the matter? Auntie and aunt are here, wow, why don't you leave them to play more tricks?" Wang Bo casually dealt with the duck sent by Li Guilan and Jiang Mei while taking it to the kitchen. If it was him in his previous life, he would definitely feel sorry for not seeing his aunt and uncle, but now, except for a limited number of people in his life, others are not very able to attract his attention.

"I've been playing Ha'er for a long time, and people have nothing to do? By the way, what are you carrying in your hand?"

"Horizontal duck!"

"Did you buy a duck? I said I was going to the farmer's market to buy vegetables. Just right, it will be braised on your duck. By the way, you also bought two? Buy one is enough for three, buy two!" Wang Jichang chattered, his face full of red light. Speaking of deliciousness, Wang Jichang recognized the second, but he didn't dare to admit the first.

"Which one was bought! ”

"What? Zhang Xiaojun sent it? His white-eyed wolf will give you ducks?" Wang Jichang asked in disbelief.

"It was given by his wife Jiang Mei. ”

"Oh, I'll just say! Zhang Xiaojun would be willing to give us ducks! If it was Jiang Mei, it would be possible. Wang Jichang looked suddenly enlightened, turned his head to look at Wang Bo's mother, and said quite proudly, "But Fanyu, it's strange for you to say, if you don't send it sooner or later, I've never seen these two people send ducks to us to eat before, but today the sun is coming out in the west, and I am willing to send us ducks." Tut-tut...... "Wang Jichang had an expression of being cheap and obedient.

"Hehe, that's knowing you're going to get rich, Brother Wang!" the little aunt picked up the cap on her head and fanned her face while joking. She was also wearing work clothes designed by Wang Bo, but she was temporarily borrowed from her mother. Yesterday afternoon, Wang Bo led her to measure the size at the tailor, and it would take two days to get it back. Zhong Xiaomin is novel and satisfied with this ingenious work clothes, especially the "poke hat" on the top of his head, which he will take off and watch when he has nothing to do.

"What kind of wealth do you have! I have a lot of debts on my body, and I don't know when I will be able to pay off the debts. Wang Bo realized that yesterday's "education" of his stepfather was quite effective. When my mother tells Wang Jichang the story of the rotten doll's second-rate son borrowing money tonight, I am afraid that the effect of yesterday's "education" will be more profound.

At this time, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and there were not many people eating rice noodles. The family was also preparing to make dinner. Wang Bo planned to go to the vegetable market to weigh a few catties of potatoes to braised duck. Just as he was about to go out, he saw that his aunt had already picked up a spatula and began to peel the potatoes.

"Hey, when did you buy artichokes? I also said to go to the vegetable market and weigh a few pounds. ”

"I didn't buy it, it was sent by your brother-in-law just now. There are also cucumbers, peppers, cowpeas and eggplants from your uncle and uncle, a big basket. For the next week, we won't have to buy groceries. Zeng Fanyu explained to Wang Bo with a smile, looking very happy.

"Uncle, they're so nice. Wang Bo sighed, "Mom, then you didn't murmur about getting money for your little uncle?"

"I said I wanted to give money, but your little uncle didn't want it to live or die. ”

"It's just a little rotten food, what kind of money do you want! If you talk about money, you will see the outside!" The little aunt said a little "unhappy" when she heard that Wang Bo was talking about money.

Of Wang Bo's four uncles, except for the third uncle, who works outside, the other three uncles are all farming in the countryside, and their main income is to grow some vegetables to sell for money. In his previous life, Wang Bo's family often ate the vegetables grown by his uncles, and even went to work in Shuangqing, every time he went back to his hometown and left, his uncles would give him a large bag full of various side dishes for him to bring back to Shuangqing to eat.

In the previous life, I had to say it, but in this life, Wang Bo said that he was not willing to take advantage of his uncles in vain. But he directly said that he would not let his uncles deliver food or give money, and he was afraid that he would break their hearts, so he let the uncles say that he was outside.

What's the best of both worlds?

Wang Bo's mind turned, and he quickly thought of a way to not let his uncles suffer, but also to satisfy his family to eat vegetables. So, he began to say to his little aunt:

"Little uncle, you have also seen the current situation. My mother is busy with the affairs of the store, and I am afraid that I will not have time to grow vegetables in the future. Not only do we have no time to grow vegetables, but our family of three may have to contract out the fields for others to grow at that time.

"But our family can't go without vegetables and rice. Therefore, I thought, if my uncle is interested, we can give him our field to plant, and only need to hang 1,200 catties of rice for us every year.

"As for vegetables, we also buy them from my uncle and three other uncles, and the price is based on the retail price in the market. Because it's not about eating once or twice, it's about eating every day, and it's not realistic to eat all of yours for nothing. What do you think, little aunt?"

The 1,200 catties of rice were set by Wang Bo according to the current food consumption of a family of three. However, with the continuous improvement of living standards, I will definitely not be able to eat so much rice in the future.

Wang Bo's proposal was not only unexpected by Zhong Xiaomin, but also by Wang Jichang and Zeng Fanyu. Zeng Fanyu thought about it, and soon found that his son had a very good idea, which not only solved the problem of eating vegetables for a family of three, but also avoided the abandonment of the fields, and also helped his younger brother by not flowing into the fields of outsiders, so he immediately echoed and said:

"That's a good idea, Xiaomin. You go back tonight and tell Fan Song a hal, and let Fan Song come to plant our fields and keep our own land. We will buy the vegetables at your house. What do you think, anyway, now you have to buy vegetables every day, rather than letting others earn this money, it is better for you to earn it. ”

Wang Jichang felt that it was a bit of a loss for his own family to exchange 1,200 catties of rice a year for his own four acres of paddy field plus his own land, and he had the heart to disagree, but his son and wife had already said it, and he was not easy to refute.

However, Wang Jichang quickly thought about it, his family is now making a net profit of several hundred a day, and he is about to get rich, and it doesn't seem to be much fun to care about the harvest in the field. It's better to sell your brother-in-law a favor, so that your brother-in-law who has always looked down on him knows:

Brother-in-law, don't look down on your brother-in-law! In the future, you will have to rely on your brother's support for eating and drinking spicy food!

Thinking about it like this, Wang Jichang's heart immediately felt a lot better, and he followed his wife and began to persuade Zhong Xiaomin:

"Xiaomin, tell Zeng Fansong's skull to be more Tai. If it weren't for the fact that your sister and I don't have time to plant now, where would he have such an opportunity? I heard my comrade-in-arms who was the village chief say that in a few years the state will abolish all agricultural taxes. In the future, all the first plants in the peasants' fields will be their own. The fields will be more precious, and the life of the farmers will be better. There is absolutely no harm in planting more fields. ”

Wang's remarks make sense, because six years later, in 2005, the state will abolish the agricultural tax that has been pressing on Chinese for thousands of years. The peasant's life will indeed be much better from then on. But it is not strange that this is said from other people's mouths, and it is even more funny from the mouth of a pseudo-peasant who has planted something and lost something.

Zhong Xiaomin didn't expect her nephew to give her such a proposal, and after thinking about it a little, she felt that it was a good thing, but now she can't make the decision, and she needs to go back and discuss it with her uncle, so she said: "That's good, Brother Wang, sister, Bo'er." I'll go back and discuss it with Fan Song in the evening. If he wishes, we will plant your fields and your own land. But 1,200 catties of rice is too little, so I'll just hang 1,500 catties for you!"

Wang Jichang was about to say "I want to get", but Wang Bo opened his mouth in advance:

"Fifteen hundred catties? Little aunt, do you want to swell our family to death? I can't eat even 1,200 catties and I still have 1,500 catties! That's 1,000 catties! ”
