Chapter 273: Taking a Risk (Second Shift)

When Xia Qiqi heard this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

In the past, her mother was looked down upon by her grandmother, not because her mother's family had no money, so she had no confidence in what she said and did.

All the rough work and heavy work are handed over to her mother.

The conditions of her third aunt's family are better, and she basically doesn't have to do any heavy work.

Those people looked down on people, and they hurt her mother, and every time her grandfather and grandmother went to Lao Xia's house, they suffered countless white eyes, and they couldn't say the bitterness in their hearts.

"Second uncle, fifth uncle, what you make is what you eat! There's nothing to be reluctant to, we'll do it again! When the money is gone, earn it again! Let's work hard as a family, so that those who looked down on us in the past can open their eyes! Xia Qiqi said.

I don't know why, Yu Shun and Yu Fu, after listening to Xia Qiqi's words, they suddenly felt full of energy.

"Qiqi, when are we planting watermelons?" Yu Shun asked.

"We have to have land before we can grow watermelons, I took a look, outside the yard, there are a lot of vacant land, but they are all barren, these are owner's land, or is there no owner's land?" Xia Qiqi asked.

"Whoever has the Lord belongs to our family, but ...... Nothing can be grown in those fields except weeds!

In the first year, my brother and my father worked hard to remove all the weeds and turn over the soil, but the vegetables we planted couldn't grow, and the sweet potatoes we planted were very small, and we couldn't cope with the effort we spent, so we didn't care about it later. Yu Shun said.

Xia Qiqi estimated in his heart that the vacant land in front of and behind Lao Yu's house was only one acre of land.

One acre of land to grow watermelons is far from enough, she has to get at least three or five acres of land.

"What is our land for?" Xia Qiqi asked again.

Half of the land in Yujia Village is dry land and half is paddy fields.

On the dry land, everyone grows corn and sweet potatoes, and in the paddy fields, rice is naturally grown.

Lao Yu's family of five, a total of two acres of thin fields, paid taxes on paddy fields, and rice was not enough to eat, so the grain basically came out of the dry land, that is, some sweet potatoes and miscellaneous grains.

Yu Shun told Xia Qiqi about the situation in the village.

Xia Qiqi nodded knowingly, and understood more and more about the situation of Yujia Village and the old Yu family.

In this era, food and clothing are the first things.

As for growing watermelons, nine times out of ten, no one will risk using the food floor.

Xia Qiqi rushed to the old Xia family: "Planting watermelons is not my whim, and I also have some bottom in my heart, it should be a business that only makes money and does not lose money, but the decision is in your hands!"

If we plant, we may have to sacrifice our own dry land to grow watermelons! If you don't plant it, the second and fifth uncles will go to Zhoujiagou every few days to get some firewood and come back to sell it, and they can also get by! ”

At this time, Xia Qiqi told the people of the Lao Yu family about the good and bad things.

She does everything, it is just a proposal, and the specific decision has to be made by the people of the Lao Yu family.

As soon as her words fell, Yu Shun gritted her teeth and said, "I'll listen to Qiqi!" ”

Yu Fu also nodded, "I also listen to Qiqi and think that I have lived for most of my life, and my brain is not as flexible as Qiqi's child."

Since she can make money on a pile of firewood, she will definitely not be bad in other things. ”

Mrs. Yu said directly: "I don't understand anything, anyway, what you say, it's what!" ”

"Then grandpa's ......," Xia Qiqi said.

"He's fine, he hasn't gotten out of bed for a few months, and he's still in charge of his family!" Mrs. Yu spoke directly.

When Xia Qiqi heard this, he was relieved.

"Cheng, since this is the case, then plant all the dry land at home with watermelons! A kind of watermelon, the second and fifth uncles don't have time to do anything else, so there is no need to plant it on the dry land, and I am responsible for your food for the first half of the year! Xia Qiqi said.

There is also a time to grow watermelons, and there are watermelons in the hottest weather, and when the weather gets cold, the land is empty.

At that time, it was definitely too late to grow dry food, and only some seasonal vegetables could be grown.

However, at that time, Lao Yu's watermelons also had money, and the grain in the second half of the year could be bought with money.

"Good! Then I and Lao Wuming'er started, and we went to prepare the land, and right now, it's just the time to plant watermelons, but this watermelon is ......."

"I'll solve this!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

"Okay, let's settle this matter!"

Everyone discussed the matter of planting watermelons before starting to eat.

At this time, the rabbit meat is already a little cold, and if you eat it like this, the taste will definitely be greatly reduced.

Xia Qiqi got up and said to everyone: "I'll heat up the dish again, otherwise it won't taste right!" ”

It was Lu Jiu who stood up with Xia Qiqi, he didn't say a word, walked to the mouth of the stove, grabbed a handful of hay, lit the fire, and let a fire be set in the stove.

Xia Qiqi's mouth couldn't close.

Lu Jiu has always only done heavy work, and her two younger sisters do it at home when it comes to burning fires.

He's in charge of carrying water, so why is he helping to light a fire now?

But no matter what, this is indeed what Xia Qiqi needs to do in front of him.

The dishes were hot one by one, and Xia Qiqi sat down at the table again.

"Eat, when you're full, Ming'er will have the strength to work!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

After speaking, she looked at Lu Jiu, "Do you want me to help?" ”

In the past, at home, it was Xia Qiqi who helped Lu Jiu to serve rice and vegetables, but Lu Jiu basically didn't do this, he just waited to eat.

But this time, Lu Jiu shook his head.

I sandwiched the dishes by myself, and after eating, I also served them by myself.

Looking at the terrifyingly well-behaved Lu Jiu, Xia Qiqi had a look on his face.

Yu Shun and Yu Fu, who have never seen Lu Jiu in the past, only treat him as a normal person, and they say a lot of things to Lu Jiu.

Most of the time, you can even get a few positive answers.

Lu Jiu has changed!

No, it's supposed to be growth!

He seems to be more and more like a person.

After dinner, Mrs. Yu took over the work of washing the dishes and cleaning up, and asked Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu to go around the village.

At this time, there are no mosquitoes at night, and it is comfortable to take a walk after eating.

Xia Qiqi walked around with a comfortable face, looked at Lu Jiu who was expressionless beside her, and asked, "Are you not used to being here?" Let's go back tomorrow, you can do whatever you want! ”

Lu Jiu didn't squeak.

Xia Qiqi continued: "My grandmother's house is no different from my family! Except for my mom and dad and my sister. ”

Lu Jiu was still silent, but his gaze fell on Xia Qiqi.

After a long time, when Xia Qiqi thought that Lu Jiu would not respond to him, he suddenly spoke, "I earn money!" ”

"Huh?" Xia Qiqi is a little unclear.

"I earn money, you ......" Lu Jiu tried to stop the words.

He used everything he had learned in the past few months.

After half a ring, he spit out the remaining words, "You rest!" ”
