Chen Meiling's mother has earned enough face in the village, and now her son-in-law personally asked her to go to see the house for a day, of course she went with a smile.

When Tao Aimin was leaving, he specially told her that the family had left her more than a dozen eggs, so she was reluctant to eat them.

When the Tao Aiguo brothers arrived in the city, Lin Yongfang and her two daughters-in-law were preparing to go out, buying vegetables and buying and selling.

The three of them were shocked when they saw Tao Aiguo and the two brothers coming with a tractor.

Liu Cuihua asked in surprise: "Why did you drive the tractor?" ”

Tao Aiguo was afraid that Liu Cuihua would not agree to buy a tractor, so he decided to probe her tone and say: "The village has contracted production to households, and even the production materials have to be divided, and the time is tight, so I can't inform you, so I bought this tractor on my own initiative." ”

Liu Cuihua's face turned white when she heard this, and she asked in a trembling voice: "How much did you spend on this tractor?" ”

Tao Aiguo replied: "One thousand two hundred." ”

Liu Cuihua only felt that it was dark in front of her, and everyone couldn't stand still, but fortunately, Lin Yongfang and Chen Meiling on the side helped him in time.

Lin Yongfang helped Liu Cuihua to a chair and sat down, comforting her: "Don't be in a hurry, be careful of the fetal gas." ”

Chen Meiling poured a glass of warm water for Liu Cuihua.

Liu Cuihua took two sips and almost cried and asked Tao Aiguo: "Then didn't you embezzle the money that our family was going to build a house?" If you buy this iron lump and come back, where can you find a job to haul the goods, and if you don't haul the goods, how can you get back the capital of more than 1,000 yuan? ”

Thinking that he was pregnant, he dragged his legs that were a little swollen because of pregnancy and went out to sell braised eggs to make money, and his man didn't even discuss with himself, so he made an assertion and bought a tractor for more than 1,000 yuan without saying a word, so he shed tears sadly.

Tao Aiguo saw Liu Cuihua crying, and immediately panicked, and hurriedly wiped her tears: "I must have found a job to haul goods, so I dared to buy this tractor, otherwise who would dare to come out with so much money casually." ”

When Liu Cuihua heard this, she stopped her tears and asked, "Who is looking for you to drag goods?" What about wages? ”

"There is a capable man named Yu Tianyou in the town, who opened a brick factory, and wanted to find a car to deliver bricks, as for the wages, how much to earn, a brick to earn five cents of freight, at least three months of work.

I have calculated, the tractor can pull a thousand bricks at a time, and you can earn five dollars by pulling a trip, because it is loading by itself, so it can only pull goods five times a day, so that you can get twenty-five yuan a day, in addition to the oil money, at least twenty yuan a day, and you can earn a sum of money after three months. ”

Liu Cuihua frowned and said: "I heard that this person is too blessed by God, he has a very bad reputation in Shili Baxiang, and he is not a trustworthy person, what if we spend a lot of money to buy a tractor, and he doesn't give you work halfway?" Didn't we buy this tractor in vain? ”

Tao Aiguo has been poor since he was a child, some people are poor and ruthless, and they dare to go out to do it, and they always feel that even if they fail, they are just returning to the past, and there is no loss, but some people are afraid of being poor, and they finally make some money, but they are afraid that the money will be gone overnight, and they will live a poor life, so they dare not take too much risk with money, Tao Aiguo is such a person, so he hesitated after listening to Liu Cuihua.

In addition, Lin Yongfang did not approve of him taking more than 1,000 yuan to buy a tractor: "It's better for us to make money safely and steadily, don't keep thinking about making a fortune, but toss away the little money you have worked so hard to earn." ”

Liu Cuihua asked with tears in her eyes: "Can we return this tractor?" ”

Tao Aiguo told the truth at this time: "There is no such thing as a return, I haven't really bought it yet, I specially discussed it with you today, if you don't agree, I'll definitely forget it." ”

Liu Cuihua burst into tears and laughed, and slapped Tao Aiguo a few times: "You still treat me as a person, and you still know to discuss with me!" I thought I was dispensable in your heart! ”

"How can that?" Tao Aiguo grinned.

Lin Yongfang said angrily on the side: "You are also joking about such a big matter, you see that you are in a hurry, what if something happens to you?" ”

Tao Aiguo smiled innocently.

Tao Aimin wanted to buy a cow and told Lin Yongfang and Chen Meiling about his intentions.

Farming naturally requires a cow, so Lin Yongfang and Chen Meiling didn't say anything.

Chen Meiling asked, "How much does it cost to buy a cow?" ”

Tao Aimin looked at Tao Aiguo.

Tao Aiguo estimated in his heart and said, "It is estimated that a young bull will get six hundred, and a cow will get seven hundred." ”

Liu Cuihua suggested on the side: "Why don't we buy a cow together." Her family also needs cattle to farm.

It is more cost-effective for two families to buy a cow than one for the family, and of course Chen Meiling agreed.

So they went into their shared room and took the passbook and gave it to their respective husbands, so that they could sell their produce and withdraw the money from the bank for the cattle by the way.

The two brothers put the passbook close to their bodies and prepared to go out to do business.

Tao Aiguo saw that Lin Yongfang was going to buy vegetables, so he said, "Mom, don't buy vegetables, I brought you a basket of vegetables." ”

As he spoke, he went out of the house and took a large basket of vegetables from the tractor and gave it to Lin Yongfang.

In the past, he wanted to sell good vegetables at a high price, so Tao Aiguo always put a basket of bad vegetables for Lin Yongfang, but now that the money is good, he picks up the best vegetables and picks a basket for his mother and younger siblings to eat.

Although he grew up in the countryside with a hard life, after all, he studied in elementary school, has a bit of culture, and understands that money is for people, and the purpose of making money is to make people eat and drink well and live a good life, not to be a miser.

Lin Yongfang took the big basket of vegetables and put it in the corner of the living room: "At noon, a big family eats, you can't just eat vegetables, you have to buy some meat and soy products, Cuihua is pregnant, your younger brothers and sisters are studying, and your two brothers are running in the city and the countryside, they have to eat better." ”

Tao Aimin said: "There is also a bucket of crabs and river shrimp on the tractor, which is for Duoduo. He took it from the tractor as he spoke.

Lin Yongfang took it: "Duoduo didn't like to eat these before, but now she actually loves to eat them." ”

Everyone in the family has noticed the changes in the taste of Duoduo, but no one takes it seriously, just sometimes just talking.

The whole family went out of the house, and everyone was busy.

After school at noon, the three Duoduo siblings went home for lunch, and at a glance they saw a tractor parked outside the house, and the three of them were surprised.

When I entered the house, I saw my brother and sister-in-law talking and laughing, so Duoduo asked, "What are you happy about?" ”

Lin Yongfang said: "There are a lot of happy things, and I talk while eating. ”

The two daughters-in-law helped her bring the food to the table, and the family sat around the table.

Lin Yongfang put a small bowl of soda meat steamed for Liu Cuihua and Aiyun alone in front of them, and Chen Meiling swallowed her saliva and sandwiched several pieces of braised pork belly in her bowl.

Lin Yongfang put the steamed crab and spicy river shrimp in front of Duoduo again: "This is what your second brother specially caught for you." ”
