He Xuemei said with a smile: "It's just that watching your uncle make so much money, your grandfather and I are red-eyed, so your grandfather also built a greenhouse of five acres of land to grow vegetables." ”

Tang Xiaofu handed the peeled peanuts to He Xuemei: "Grandpa is old, don't make him tired." ”

He Xuemei pushed her hand away and said kindly, "You eat it yourself." Your grandfather is only in his sixties, so he is not old, and other people are still working in their seventies and eighties! ”

Tang Xiaofu smiled, hard-working people live to be old, she has also seen some old people in her previous life, retirement salary is very high, after retirement, look for work to do, and can't be idle at home.

Wang Cuiyu patted her thigh, and said with annoyance: "Your brother Fang Ming still regrets it, he should have listened to you at the beginning, at least ten acres of greenhouse vegetables could be planted, and he could earn more, but he was still too timid!" Only five acres were planted! Although ten acres have been replanted now, those vegetables have not yet grown, and there are no vegetables to sell these days, which is a pity! ”

Tang Xiaofu said: "As long as it can grow up five days before the Chinese New Year, even if it is sold for a dollar and a catty, it will be robbed like crazy!" ”

Wang Cuiyu said: "It is estimated that it will be able to grow in half a month, and then it will be able to be picked and sold in the city." ”

Tang Xiaofu ate a few peanuts and didn't eat them anymore, clapped her hands, and patted off the peanut skin on her hands: "It's only half a month that I haven't sold vegetables, and the loss is not big, it is estimated that after selling the vegetables a few years ago, the two aunts and aunts can make a net profit of more than 1,000 yuan in each aunt's house, and a few cousins said that the money to build a house is enough." ”

"yes." Both aunts smiled happily.

"I don't know if this money will be good next winter." Yang Xiuhua looked at Tang Xiaofu expectantly.

"It's definitely not going to be as profitable as this year." Tang Xiaofu analyzed it for them, "How shrewd people are now, and who doesn't want to make more money!"

When people see you building greenhouses to make money, you will definitely learn to do it next year!

As long as there are more vegetables in the greenhouse, the price will definitely fall, but it is also worth more than vegetables in summer and autumn.

Relying on greenhouse vegetables should be able to earn three or five years.

In three or five years, greenhouse vegetables will be popular, and if you want to make high profits, it will be absolutely impossible! ”

Wang Cuiyu and Yang Xiuhua counted with their fingers: "Even if we can only earn another three or five years, and the profit is reduced by half, we can have an income of nearly 500 yuan every winter, and 1500 yuan in three years, so much money is enough to do all the major things in the family, and then we will farm well with one heart, and we can live a very comfortable life." ”

Everyone looked forward to the future for a while, and Wang Cuiyu and Yang Xiuzhi went to make lunch.

At this point, it was too late to go to the town to buy meat, so Wang Cuiyu and her concubine went to catch chickens and prepare to kill chickens to entertain Tang Xiaofu.

The two of them first used a few handfuls of rice to summon all the chickens in their house, and then, when the chickens were not paying attention, they covered a big red rooster with a colander that looked smooth and smooth.

The rooster was frightened, clucking in the basket, flapping its two great wings, and was about to overturn it.

Wang Cuiyu stepped forward and stepped on the basket tightly, and the big inside crowed even more panicked.

Yang Xiuhua walked to the basket and squatted down, stretched out her hand to hold the basket, and Wang Cuiyu took her foot away.

The two of them carefully opened a slit in the basket, and as soon as the big poked its head out, Wang Cuiyu pinched its neck.

The big red rooster immediately crowed very miserably, and the people listened to it with panic and guilt.

Tang Xiaofu poked her head out of the hall and said to the two aunts: "I'm not an outsider, so aunts don't kill chickens." ”

Wang Cuiyu smiled happily and said: "This is a rooster, I have long wanted to kill it, every day as long as I feed the chickens, it will peck other chickens, and do not let other chickens eat rice, very domineering!" ”

Tang Xiaofu smiled.

At lunchtime, three generations of men in Fang Shoucheng's family all came back from the vegetable field.

Everyone was very happy to see Xiaofu, and there was a lively cold noise between each other, so they sat down to eat.

In rural Hubei in the 80s, the women of the host's family generally did not eat at the table, even if it was only their own family.

Tang Xiaofu had heard her mother say in her previous life that not only Hubei had this rule before, but it seemed that other places also had this kind of rule.

However, He Xuemei is different from other mothers-in-law, she has no requirements for her two daughters-in-law, so the women in their family all eat at the table.

A large family sat at a table and ate happily.

Tang Xiaofu's two aunts were particularly enthusiastic, and put the two chicken legs into her bowl, and Tang Xiaofu gave them to her grandfather and grandmother.

The eldest grandfather and grandmother hurriedly put their bowls far away.

He Xuemei said: "You study hard, you have to eat better, you can eat these two chicken legs yourself, don't give us food." ”

Fang Ming raised his head from the bowl and smiled at Tang Xiaofu with a sunny smile: "Xiaofu, you eat, you're welcome." ”

Tang Xiaofu had no choice but to eat the two chicken legs that couldn't be sent out by herself.

Seriously, she prefers to eat, the meat is tighter than the hen meat, Q bomb, Q bomb, very chewy, and it feels good.

After lunch, Uncle Fang Wenqiang asked Tang Xiaofu what kind of cabinet, ironing board, and tailoring board she wanted to make, and if she could draw a sketch for him.

Tang Xiaofu never learned talent in her previous life, she remembered that when she was in elementary school in her previous life, a teacher asked everyone what talent they had, and almost all the students in the class replied that they could draw, which is the most popular talent, so she replied: "Yes." ”

Fang Ming found her a piece of paper and a pen, and Tang Xiaofu drew the pattern, and noted that the ironing board and tailoring board could be folded.

Fang Wenqiang picked up his drawings, looked at them, listened to Tang Xiaofu's description, and said: "This is simple, I will work hard for you in two days at most, and then paint it and find a tractor to send it to you." ”

Tang Xiao said: "After it is beaten, just brush a piece of tung oil and send it over, we are in a hurry to use it." ”

Fang Wenqiang nodded.

After finishing business, Tang Xiaofu was about to say goodbye and go home.

Wang Cuiyu carried half a basket of eggs, half a basket of dried fish more than three inches long, a basket of freshly picked vegetables and a few catties of fried peanuts that had not been eaten just now in a small cloth bag for Tang Xiaofu to take back.

Tang Xiaofu glanced at the basket of vegetables, including tomatoes, green peppers, pea tips, tender edamame, and tender eggplant, all of which were vegetables that could be sold at a high price, so she refused to ask for anything, and let them keep and sell.

But Fang Shoucheng's family insisted that she take it, Wang Cuiyu said: "Our family doesn't wait for this basket of vegetables to build a house, you take it back and taste it with your mother and sister, the vegetables grown in this greenhouse are really tender and smart!" It's delicious! ”

Tang Xiaofu made an excuse and said: "There are so many things, where can I lift them!" I don't want these peanuts, I'll keep them for you to eat. ”

"A few adults in the family who eat peanuts! A few of your cousins are boys, and they don't eat peanuts, so you can take them all back! Fang Shoucheng said: "You are afraid that it will be difficult to take too many things, so ask your eldest cousin to send you by bicycle." ”

In the countryside, snacks such as peanuts and melon seeds seem to be the preserve of children, and adults don't eat them.

In fact, it's not that adults don't eat it, it's that the material at that time was relatively scarce, and some snacks were wanted to be left for children to eat.

Hubei people have very high requirements for big boys, they have to rush to the front when they endure hardships, and they have to put their food and drink behind, if a big boy is greedy, he will be looked down upon by the villagers, so Fang Shoucheng will say that Fang Ming does not eat fried peanuts.

It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Tang Xiaofu had to accept the two large baskets of things.

Fang Ming rolled out a 28-style bicycle, hung the vegetable basket on the handlebar, and let Tang Xiaofu carry the basket of eggs, dried fish and peanuts by himself.

He stepped on it first, sat down on the bicycle, supported the ground with his feet, and waited for Tang Xiaofu to sit firmly on the back seat frame before stepping on the bike and driving forward.

Tang Xiaofu sat at the back of the car, holding the basket tightly with one hand and wrapping Fang Ming's waist with the other, repeatedly telling him to ride slowly and not to ride the car into the paddy fields.

Even though it is winter, there is still water in the paddy fields, and many families have planted water chestnuts in the paddy fields, and at this time they are digging water chestnuts in the fields.

Fang Ming felt that Tang Xiaofu not only hugged his waist tightly, but his thin body was still attached to his thick back, his body stiffened as if it had been electrified, and the nervous dragon head of the whole person shook a few times before he stabilized, causing Tang Xiaofu to scream behind him.

He quickly retracted his mind, held the faucet, and concentrated on riding the bicycle, comforting the girl behind him: "Don't worry, I have good riding skills, and I will never take you to the paddy field." ”

Passing through that section of the ridge road, young men kept straightening up from the paddy fields and greeted Fang Ming with a smile: "Mingzi, who are you here with?" Your girlfriend, when did you kiss? How don't we know? ”

The young men asked a series of questions, their eyes full of envy, and they wondered when they would be able to buy a bicycle and take a girl to the town.

Fang Ming rode the bicycle steadily, and scolded with a smile: "Blind your dog's eyes!" You can see more clearly, where is my girlfriend, my eldest cousin Xiaofu, the eldest cousin Xiaofu who won all the scholarships at Yuhong Middle School last year! ”

His words were full of sorrow.

Those young men looked at it fixedly, and they all smiled and said: "It's really your eldest cousin, this is really the eighteenth change of the female college, the more it changes, the more beautiful it becomes, we can't recognize it." ”

Fang Ming's back was straight, like an Olympic athlete who won glory for the country, full of pride.

Finally riding through the winding and twisting ridge road like a snake, Tang Xiaofu's heart relaxed, and asked Fang Ming: "How much did you spend on this bike?" ”

Fang Ming replied: "This is a second-hand bicycle, which was sold by someone whose family had an urgent matter, and it only cost ninety." ”

At that time, a 28 bicycle cost 180 yuan, and you had to buy it with a ticket, so 90 yuan to buy a bicycle was really not expensive.

Tang Xiaofu looked the bicycle up and down: "This car looks quite new, ninety yuan is really a good deal!" ”

"It's not new! It's been a whole year since they bought it back, but they cherish it, so it looks new. ”

Tang Xiaofu nodded.

The two couldn't find anything to say for a while, so they were silent for a while, and then Fang Ming asked: "Xiaofu, are we only planting the vegetables in this greenhouse until the Chinese New Year?" ”

Tang Xiaofu said: "No, as long as the vegetables on the market are still in the green and yellow crops, you can keep planting." ”

Fang Ming smiled happily: "Vegetables like eggplant, tomatoes, cucumbers, and beans will not be available until May next year at the earliest, which means that our family can still sell greenhouse vegetables for five months, which may make a lot of money!" ”

"yes."

The two were silent again.

Fang Ming had been sending Tang Xiaofu two-thirds of the way before stopping, handed over the things to Tang Xiaofu, and intimately told him, if you are tired, just rest on the road and then go, there is only half a distance left, don't rush so much.

Tang Xiaofu smiled sweetly and said, "Got it." "Walking home with a basket in one hand.

Walking far away, looking back, Fang Ming was still standing in place with the bicycle faucet in both hands and watching her.

Tang Xiaofu put the two baskets on the ground, circled a horn with both hands, and shouted to Fang Ming: "Go back quickly!" ”

Fang Ming waved at her, got on the bicycle and turned the faucet and left.

Tang Xiaofu lifted the two baskets and continued to walk home.

Walked less than half an hour to Wufu Town, close to the end of the year, Wufu Town is much more lively than usual, there are more stalls, and there are more shopping.

The main thing is to contract to the household, independent production, the enthusiasm of farmers has been fully mobilized, who does not raise more poultry than in previous years! Whose crops are not a bumper harvest! If you can't eat it at home, you can sell it in the town for cash, so the streets are full of stalls.

And this year, everyone's purse is a lot bigger than ever, and they have money to buy something, so there are more people shopping.

Tang Xiaofu walked and watched, most of the stalls selling vegetables this season were winter vegetables such as radish, spinach, garlic, green onions, shallots, and cabbage.

When passing by the Leng family's house, Tang Xiaofu thought to herself that the old man must have eaten these kinds of vegetables every day, so it was better to give him half of the greenhouse vegetables in his vegetable basket, so that he could also change his taste.

So she raised her hand and knocked on the door of the Leng family.

Wu Weiguo was very happy to see her: "Xiaofu, why are you free?" I haven't seen you in a long time, I miss you so much! ”

Tang Xiaofu's face flushed slightly, "I came today to send some vegetables to the old man, you take a basket to hold some vegetables." ”

Wu Weiguo said: "Why have you become polite? Come with me, go meet the old man, the old man misses you. ”

Tang Xiaofu shook her head: "I don't have time today, so I won't see the old man." ”

When the two arrived at the kitchen, Tang Xiaofu divided half of the vegetables in the basket to the old man, and walked out.

Wu Weiguo sent her out, looking reluctant: "I'm just going to leave, I don't even see what you look like, today Commander Leng is also here, don't you stay here?" Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
