Chapter 166 The Road to Prosperity (Three Changes, Plus the First Shift of the Monthly Pass)
The family had breakfast and talked for a while.
The main thing is to arrange the itinerary of Xu Ying and Liu Mingda.
When people come back, they will definitely have to leave their relatives.
This Xu Ying's grandmother's house is definitely going to go.
In addition, Xu Ying also has an aunt, two aunts, and an aunt, all of whom are direct relatives, and they are also going.
As for other relatives, they are not close relatives and can not go.
So Qiu Meihua arranged for the two of them to go to Xu Ying's grandmother's house tomorrow, and then go to Grandma's house, aunt's house, aunt's house, one or two a day.
Xu Ying nodded in agreement, she thought the same way.
Liu Mingda sat there and listened carefully, without the slightest impatience, on the contrary, he felt that Xu Ying's family had few relatives.
For example, Xu Ying only has an uncle, an aunt, and no aunt, which is relatively simple compared to her own family.
Xu Ying came back for a trip, it is common to go to relatives, if you don't go, others will think that you are impersonal, so Liu Mingda listened carefully and participated in the discussion of what is more appropriate to buy for relatives.
"I'm not going anywhere today, you lead Mingda around, your father will kill chickens for you in a while, and let's eat chickens at noon."
Qiu Meihua looked at her daughter, son-in-law, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, this son-in-law was really good. looks good, has a good personality, and is very good to her daughter at first glance, so that she can rest assured.
"Okay, kill two. Save one and not enough to eat. ”
Xu Chen nodded, his daughter is back, and he is willing to kill a few chickens.
"No need, no need, you can do whatever you want, didn't Yingzi say that we eat noodles here at noon? Let's just eat noodles, we don't have to kill chickens. ”
Liu Mingda felt that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were too enthusiastic. He couldn't stand the enthusiasm.
"Well, if you like to eat noodles, I'll roll noodles for you after stewing chicken."
Qiu Meihua felt that this was not a bother.
"No, no, no more rolling noodles."
Liu Mingda is powerless, okay, he won't say it, and he doesn't know what his mother-in-law is going to do for him.
Xu Ying was smiling beside him.
"We have a saying here: Uncle enters the door, and the chicken has no soul. It's about a new son-in-law like you, so you don't have to worry about it, let our parents do it. ”
Xu Ying understands her parents' intentions.
"Then if we come back a few more times, won't I eat all the chickens at home? If we eat it all, we don't have to come back. ”
Liu Mingda also laughed.
"Don't be afraid, I'll feed more chickens in the coming year, you have to come back if you can't eat all of them."
Qiu Meihua hurriedly said, for fear that she would not let her daughter come back because of this son-in-law.
Xu Ying's heart was sour, Liu Mingda was originally a joke, but her mother was serious, this is a mother, what time is true for the child.
"Return, don't worry, Mom, we will definitely come back often."
Liu Mingda hurriedly nodded and reassured, because he was afraid that if he didn't say it again, his mother-in-law would cry.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back."
Qiu Meihua was relieved.
Xu Ying led Liu Mingda out of the house, and the rest of the Xu family was preparing to kill chickens at home.
As soon as I left the house, I met people in the alley.
Xu Ying greeted people with a smile.
Others also spoke enthusiastically to Xu Ying for a while.
She led Liu Mingda around the small village, greeting constantly along the way.
Whether Xu Ying can be named or not, the smiles on their faces are very sincere.
The two of them walked to the ground.
Wheat is planted in the field.
The green wheat seedlings are very comfortable in the hearts of those who look at them.
"It's so warm here, if it were us, the wheat would have frozen to death."
Liu Mingda sighed.
"The climate is different, the climate here is suitable for wheat, so we eat noodles, and you are suitable for rice over there, so you eat rice."
Xu Ying bent down and gently stroked the wheat.
The fields and the crops were fragrant, and the smell intoxicated her.
She is a child of the countryside, she is a farmer's child, she used to be inferior in her previous life, but in this life she is proud. There's nothing to be ashamed of here.
"Yingzi, what do you want? Why didn't you speak for a long time? ”
Liu Mingda saw that his daughter-in-law was only contemplating the wheat field, and was a little puzzled, when she came back, shouldn't she be excited?
"I wonder if there is any special capacity for sale here, and if there is any way to help this place get rich."
Xu Ying didn't hide it, she didn't have this idea today, but she never thought of a suitable one.
Liu Mingda was silent.
Today he looked at the Xu family.
There are almost nothing of value in the house except for beds, tables, and stools.
There is a large wardrobe at home, which has been used for many years, and it looks very old.
There are no electrical appliances, not even a sewing machine.
Looking at the clothes worn by Xu Ying's parents, Liu Mingda is still a little sad, not one or two grades worse than his own family. If he can help his family make money and help him get rich, he agrees.
"Did you think of that?"
Liu Mingda asked softly.
Xu Ying shook her head.
"We are located here in the Central Plains, our ancestors have been facing the loess for generations, planting two seasons of grain, one season of wheat, and the other season of corn, peanuts, soybeans, sesame, or a little sweet potato, nothing unusual, and no special products, unlike the black north there are mushrooms, fungus, ginseng or something. It's not unusual here, there's no fruit here, and I can't think of anything to make money. ”
Xu Ying sighed in her heart, she really wanted to help the people in the village and help everyone get rich, but she was just an ordinary person, she felt powerless, there was nothing here, what should she do.
"Don't you have peanuts here? We don't grow peanuts there, so why don't we sell peanuts. ”
Liu Mingda helped Xu Ying come up with ideas.
"The idea is very good, but it's not realistic, from here to Heibei, the money earned by going to Heibei is not enough for the travel fee, so this road doesn't work, don't worry, I'm thinking about it."
Xu Ying felt that there was no need to rush.
How did you get better here in your last life?
It seems that the next village opened several paper mills to produce toilet paper, and set up small workshops for processing paper, and many of them began to work and had additional income.
She remembers that her father went to the paper mill and was still a technician. Since then, he has been working in a paper mill.
Can you set up a paper mill here?
When the time comes, you can recruit people from the village to work and pay them wages.
But I don't understand this.
The cost of running a paper mill is not a small amount, and I can't take it out now, so think about it first, put this in a plan that can be implemented, and then think about whether it is more appropriate.
The two of them turned around for a while and walked back, and there were people standing at the door of each house, some squatting, some sitting, some standing, all talking in twos and threes.
"It's good like this, it's warm, it's nagging, it's not cold outside, I think it's better than ours, if it's where we are, you can freeze people through in ten minutes outside, and it's warmer and warmer here until noon, and I want to take off my clothes now."
Liu Mingda thinks that such days are not bad, quite leisurely. (To be continued.) )
