Chapter 66: Waiting for an Opportunity
In fact, Dong Changhe has not opened up the wasteland in recent years, the most important thing is that he doesn't want to be so high-profile, not simply because he has no son to inherit the family business today.
He and Yun separated soon after they got married.
Whether it is buying a field or building a house, he uses the money he saved in those years, and it can be said that he almost didn't use any money from his parents.
Since he started working in Shuijiazhuang, he gave his parents two taels of silver every year for food, and he saved the rest.
Before her grandmother Gu died, she secretly gave half of her private room to Dong Changhe, and no one knew about it.
So when the family was separated, it seemed that Dong Changhe took on the debt of building a house and buying land, but in fact, he never had a debt.
Dong Changhe has a lot of eyes, and the Yun family is a money box, one of the husband and wife can earn and the other can keep it, so no one actually knows how much money they have.
Therefore, after Dong Changhe bought the fertile land and wasteland, in order not to attract the speculation and attention of others, he did not open up the wasteland for four years, but was waiting for an opportunity.
The truth of wealth is true at all times.
Of course, Dong Changhe opened up the wasteland, and the happiest people were not only Dong Changhe's family, but also Dong Xiucai.
In the process of clearing the wasteland, Dong Xiucai would come over every time Mu Xiu came to help Chang Spirit.
Dong Xiucai likes two things most in his life, one is reading, and he likes the juniors who are good at reading.
The other thing is his incomparable love for land, and in his opinion, whether it is an official or an ordinary person, he must buy some land.
In ancient times, when the productive forces were backward, the principle of taking food as the sky was ubiquitous, and if there was land to cultivate, even in a year of famine, the heart would not panic.
Back then, Dong Changhe spent thirty taels to buy wasteland, and others scoffed at it, but only Dong Xiucai secretly supported it.
Dong Changhe has not opened up wasteland for many years, and Dong Xiucai was still anxious about it, but when he thought about it deeply, he understood, so he did not urge Dong Changhe to open up the wasteland in the past few years.
To say that after the news of Dong Changhe's opening up of wasteland spread, the most unhappy belonged to the Cai family.
The second room suddenly had 300 acres of land, and it became the family with the most land in Dongjia Village, which made Cai's heart suddenly unbalanced.
Although Cai's is illiterate, she can also calculate the account, and she can still calculate the value of the three hundred acres of land.
For this reason, I talked to Dong Changjiang for many days.
said that Dong Changjiang, as the head of a village, did not have a serious spirit at all, so why did he sell such a good wasteland to the second child in the first place, and why didn't he buy a hundred and eighty acres.
Even if you borrow money, you should also buy some wasteland for your own family.
Nowadays, there is no such large area of wasteland to buy and sell in Dongjia Village, even if you have money in your hands, you have no land.
Isn't Dong Changjiang envious? In fact, he was also envious, but if he wanted to spend so much money to buy wasteland when he first broke up, he really didn't have the courage.
His second brother has always been a capable person in his heart, and he can't catch up even if he is a brother.
was so troubled by the Cai family that Dong Changjiang bought the fifty acres of wasteland on the north bank of the Huitou River in Dongjia Village, and the Cai family stopped.
On the east wind of Dong Changhe's wasteland, Dong Changjiang hired these people to reclaim the fifty acres of wasteland and plant beans by the way.
In this world, some people do it, some people envy it, and some people follow suit.
Following the two brothers of the Dong family to open up the wasteland, many capable families in Dongjia Village have set their sights on the wasteland, and some families have made a quick move and directly paid money to buy the wasteland.
It didn't take long for Dongjia Village to find no more wasteland to buy.
After the Dong family opened up the wasteland, the Yun family took Xue'er to start thinning the fruit, because it had already thinned the flowers before, so it didn't take much time to thin the fruit, and it was finished in a few days.
Time is ticking by, and it's going to be June soon.
Now the most proud of the spring breeze is none other than the Yun family, she has been pregnant for five months, and her belly has long been pregnant, because the belly is pointy, it is said that the belly is round and the daughter is born, and the belly is born is the son.
And it also depends on the line above the navel on the belly, if it grows to the chest, it is a boy, and if it is shorter, it is a daughter.
Therefore, recently, the Yun family can be said to be arrogant, and he will go around in front of the Cai family at every turn, and he will be angry with the Cai family.
Cai's is indeed a cautious eye, and he can be half killed by Yun's anger every time.
And the Cai family is a coward, he doesn't dare to really quarrel with the Yun family, for fear of making the Yun family angry, and he will take responsibility when the time comes.
Although Cher has been busy every day recently, she is also enjoying it.
Maybe the two places I found were more fertile, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted were growing well, and Cher was very happy to see the sweet potato vines and the purple potato flowers.
Potatoes don't need to be taken care of manually after planting, but sweet potatoes need to be taken care of, and Cher will go around these two places when she has nothing to do.
Fortunately, the place she was looking for was not deep in the mountains, otherwise she would not dare to enter the forest too deep as a little girl.
There are also poisonous snakes in the depths of the mountains in Changhai County, but they are not as many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects as in the south, and there are no poisonous snakes that seal their throats when they see blood.
The most venomous is a small white snake, but it is not common.
Most of the snakes that appear here are slightly less venomous, and centipedes and scorpions are also smaller.
There are large carnivores in the mountains, but they are generally not encountered if you do not go too deep into the mountains.
It's just that Xue'er doesn't dare to take it lightly, every time she enters the mountains and forests, she carries a sickle and a stick, or a tiger. Hit the grass and startle the snake first, and then go deeper carefully.
What she feared most in her two lives was snakes, which looked scary when they were soft.
The rain here is quite abundant, there are a few rains during spring ploughing, and in summer, it often rains heavily, and every time it rains, Yun will happily say, "This year will definitely be a good harvest year." ”
These days are the season when cherries are ripe, and Cher and Yun will be very busy every day because they have to pick ripe cherries.
On the second day, when Dong Changhe was at work, he would drive a carriage to pull the cherries picked the day before to Shuijiazhuang, and then sell them to regular customers together with the cherries from Shuijiazhuang.
It wasn't until the end of June that the Dong family's cherries were picked, and there were not too many late-ripening ones left to be given away or eaten by their own families.
Cher loves fruits, especially cherries and mangosteen.
Dong Changhe and his wife don't limit what Xue'er eats now, she can eat as many cherries as she wants, she is really addicted.
After the cherries, the yellow apricots and the early ripening peaches also began to ripen.
The Dong family only planted a few apricots, the ones outside the west wall.
