Chapter 470: Thinking Rut
When Shen Lin and the others were discussing the food expenses, Qian Guifang sat on the side and watched TV, and did not speak from beginning to end. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Even Ji Qin and Shen Mei did not express their opinions.
Shen Linxian looked at Shen Lin, then at Ji Qin, and after thinking for a while, he understood in his heart.
This is the countryside in the eighties.
Here, the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women is still prevalent.
For example, the man is the head of the family, and the man decides something that cannot be refuted by the woman.
Another example, after having guests, women have to cook, but also serve tea and water to serve thoughtfully, when eating, women are not allowed to serve the table, children can sometimes be on the table to eat some dishes, but women can only eat leftovers, or eat some specially set aside meals in the kitchen.
Like the Shen family, there are very few people who can also serve Ji Qin with guests.
Even if the Shen family respects women more than others, women don't dare to intervene when discussing these important things.
Not to mention the 80s, that is, many years later, although the status of women has been greatly improved, in remote areas and rural areas, many people still think that women are only accessories of men.
Thinking about this, Shen Linxian shook his head speechlessly.
She decided that no matter what happened to other people's families, she would try to improve the status of women in her own family, so that her mother and aunts could speak their opinions and thoughts with confidence, and when men were wrong, women could refute their words and say no loudly.
To improve the status of women, we must first make women independent, but also improve women's economic status, and economic status determines family status, this sentence is still very reasonable.
Shen Linxian pondered for a while, she thought of a few ways, and decided to wait a while and discuss it with Ji Qin.
Shen Lin and Zhou Jun settled the accounts, took out the money from selling vegetables during this time, and began to divide the money according to the household.
There is some money left for fertilization and packaging, and the rest of the money is divided.
Shen Ju and Shen Zhu watched the TV a few times, and their eyes began to look at the men dividing the money.
Shen Ju has a bad temper, but she is also bold and very spicy, she couldn't sit still after sitting for a while, got up and walked to Qian Qingwen and sat down, picked up the money and counted it with him.
When they saw a thick stack of money in front of each family, they all had a bright smile on their faces, regardless of whether they were men or women.
Next, naturally, Ji Qin cooked a hearty meal, Shen Lin asked Shen Weiguo to bring out the wine, and the family sat around eating and drinking, the men talked loudly, and the women were also smiling.
After eating, Shen Lin sat and drank tea, discussing that he would have to grow more vegetables and raise seedlings, and he would make a fortune when he waited for the Spring Festival.
Shen Linxian watched Ji Qin and the others pack up the dishes and enter the kitchen, and she followed in.
While helping Ji Qin wash the dishes, Shen Linxian said to Ji Qin and Shen Mei: "Mom, aunt, I see that our family's vegetable planting is on the right track, and in the future, my father and uncle will be able to get busy, even if they can't be busy, they can also hire someone to help, there are many idlers in the village in the winter, grab a lot of money, who doesn't want to take advantage of the winter leisure to make a few more money, if our family is looking for someone, there must be a lot of people who come to work." ā
"What are you talking about?" Ji Qin glared at Shen Linxian: "Tell the old men to be busy, we are idle at home, we are idle, we are idle, and the banknotes are earned by others, stupid." ā
Shen Linxian smiled, she grabbed Ji Qin's hand: "Mom, you see that you have been busy during this time, your hands are a lot thicker, as long as there are men to do the work of farming, women are so tired and old fast, when the time comes, our family has more money, and you have become a veritable yellow-faced woman, are you not afraid that Dad has an outside heart?" ā
"That's what you said." Shen Mei didn't like to listen to it a little: "Who doesn't know what kind of character Lin Zi is, he is so honest, he dares to have an outside heart?" ā
Shen Linxian smiled at Shen Mei, and then looked at Shen Ju: "Second aunt, second uncle is shrewd." ā
Shen Ju was shocked: "Lin Xian, have you heard something?" ā
Shen Linxian hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I just said that you can't do this, women have to know that they feel sorry for themselves, and they have to know how to maintain them." ā
"You kid." Ji Qin couldn't listen: "Our family is only full, you just say what maintenance, how can you have that time to maintain, besides, there is no spare money, your father and I have to earn a few years of money while we are young, which one of you don't need money to go to school in the future?" ā
"I don't want it." Shen Linxian hurriedly raised his hand: "The money I earned myself is enough to spend in the future, don't save money for me." ā
Ji Qin was a little disappointed and lowered her head: "I know you feel sorry for us, but ......"
Shen Linxian didn't wait for Ji Qin to finish speaking, and hurriedly said: "Mom, I didn't say that I wouldn't ask you to work, I just said that I want to find you some light, decent and profitable work." ā
Shen Zhu, who had been bowing his head to wash the dishes, burst out laughing: "Is there such a good thing? Don't think about it, how big a river and how much water we have, if you don't have that ability, don't think about it that big. ā
Shen Mei also nodded hurriedly: "Yes, we are illiterate, where can we find decent work." ā
Shen Linxian hugged Shen Mei: "Auntie, what you said is not right, what's wrong with being illiterate, you can't make money if you can't read?" My aunt's craftsmanship is so good, the clothes she makes are beautiful and comfortable, if you get a garment factory, I think, while my aunt is not too old now, I tell you to learn clothing design and tailoring, and then make your own clothes. ā
She looked at Shen Ju again: "The second aunt loves to dress up, and her vision is good, it's better to sell clothes, open a store by herself to sell that kind of fashionable clothes, I know a second-class dealer in the capital, he came back from the south to wholesale clothes to sell, and he made 10,000 yuan after two or three times, this business is very good now, and he can make a fortune if he does it well." ā
"Really?" Shen Ju was bold, and when he heard Shen Linxian say that selling clothes could make a lot of money, his eyes sparkled: "Wait a while, you can talk to me well." ā
Hearing that Shen Linxian had found Shen Mei and Shen Ju's jobs, Shen Zhu was a little anxious: "Linxian, what do you think the third aunt can do?" ā
Shen Linxian smiled: "Sangu has good craftsmanship and can open a restaurant, but now it is very hard to open a restaurant, I think, Sangu might as well make canned food, canned fruit, canned meat, and can also make chili sauce, meat sauce, tofu and the like, this kind of thing is needed by every family, it is really done well, it is bigger than the eldest aunt and the second aunt." ā
As soon as Shen Zhu heard this, he immediately pulled Shen Linxian and asked, "How do you make this can?" Is it difficult? How much capital do I need to invest? ā
Ji Qin was listening to it in a hurry, and jumped to her feet anxiously: "Linxian, what about Mom, what is Mom doing?" ā
Shen Linxian glanced at Ji Qin: "Mom, I said that you are not happy to plant vegetables, why, now you know that you are in a hurry?" ā
Ji Qin threw the bowl into the basin, wiped her hand and poked it at Shen Linxian's brain: "Heh, you're still competing with your mother, watch me clean you up in a while." ā
Shen Linxian smiled and hugged Ji Qin's waist: "Mom, can I not think about you, I'm your daughter." ā
This is a good thing, Ji Qin's eyebrows are funny, and she is stretched and happy between her eyebrows.
"Mom, I'll contribute some money, let's make home appliances together."
Shen Linxian had actually had this plan for a long time.
What she arranged for the three sisters of the Shen family was the sale of food and clothing, when she thought about Ji Qin, the first thing she removed was housing and transportation, Ji Qin is a woman, it is not suitable to do construction or something, and besides, she can't get that, driving to do transportation and the like, Ji Qin is even more inappropriate, so she can only find a way in terms of electrical appliances.
Now people's living standards are improving, and in a few years, household appliances will be popularized, and when the time comes, selling electricity can really make a profit.
As for the aspect of living, Shen Linxian actually planned to ask Shen Lin to do it.
Shen Lin is skillful, carpentry and masonry are all at work, and he also knows people in this area, Shen Linxian wanted to discuss with Shen Lin later, and asked him to get a construction team to take on small jobs first, slowly open up his fame, and then take on some big jobs, and in a few years, he can set up a construction company.
As for the family's land and orchards, Shen Linxian also had plans for a long time.
Greenhouse vegetables planted for a year or two are OK, after a long time, the surrounding villagers see that it is profitable to do this, they will definitely rush to the top, and when the time comes, there are greenhouse vegetables everywhere, and they will not make much money.
The orchard is not afraid that it will not be able to make money because of the name of Han Yang's special supply, but there is really no need to tie Shen Lin to this one-third of an acre, the affairs of the orchard can be taken care of, and Shen Lin only needs to take care of it.
Shen Linxian wanted to ask the family to go out slowly, only by seeing how big the outside world was, could they relax their minds, change their minds, and really straighten their waists.
