Yu Xiaocao, who handed over the work of concocting abalone, sea cucumber and shark fin to his father, occupied his mother with Xiaolian at night. Yu Hai must not be aggrieved and sleep on a kang with his eldest son Yu Hang! When the youngest daughter is not at home, she thinks panicked; At home, I robbed my daughter-in-law with him again. Yu Hai is so tangled!

The next day, Yu Xiaocao, who had finally stayed at home for two days, was not idle. She followed her father's ass early in the morning and came to the melon field to help.

The first batch of watermelons of the Yu family is not too ripe, and it is only three to five thousand catties a day. Since Wang Ergou often came over to help and spared no effort to take care of the watermelon, he naturally followed him and his two uncles first!

Wang Ergou made a lot of money selling watermelons last year, and he also bought an ox cart this year. Why buy an ox cart instead of a horse-drawn carriage? It's affordable! If you think about it, there is more than a month to sell watermelons every year, and if you buy an ox cart, you can usually pull people to the town to send off customers, and the cattle can be rented out to make money when the farm is busy.

Now because of several workshops of the Zhou family, the villages near Dongshan Village are much richer than before. Go to the town to catch a market or something, and I don't care about the car money! The old horse in the next village is full every day, and it is faster than going to the dock to work to get money!

Except for the village chief's house, no one in the village has bought cattle! The villagers of Dongshan Village, whose purse began to bulge, lined up to rent the village chief's cattle when they arrived at the farm, ten wen per acre, and they could plough ten mu without plowing or plowing a day, and they would earn more than 100 yuan! Don't say it, Wang Ergou's head is still a little clever when used in the right place!

When they arrived at the melon field, Yu Xiaocao's aunt's family had already started to get busy! The eldest son of Liu Hu and his aunt has mastered the work of picking ripe melons, and their grandfather is responsible for picking ripe watermelons, and Xiaocao's aunt and daughter carry the picked melons to the ground. Xiao Fangping honestly sat next to the watermelon and looked at the melon.

Wang Ergou's ox cart had already been led to the melon field, and Ergou was busy in the field early in the morning. Seeing Yu Hai, he greeted him with a smile: "Brother Dahai, I want to touch your light again and make a lot of money!" ”

Maybe it's because he has a son and his life is rushing, Ergouzi is much fatter than at this time last year, and the appearance of the sharp-beaked monkey's gills has changed, and his round face makes him look much more pleasing to the eye!

Yu Hai smiled and said: "You make money from your labor, how can you call it my light?" Do a good job and save more money for your son to marry a daughter-in-law! ”

Wang Ergou laughed so hard that his eyes were gone, and he nodded again and again: "Brother Dahai is right!" I plan to use the money I earned from selling melons this year to build the house first. Build a five-room and surround a big yard! ”

Yu Hai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, not bad!" I'm pretty optimistic about you!! ”

At this time, Yu Xiaocao's two uncles also came over with a carriage. The two cooperated with a famous fruit shop in Fucheng, and two truckloads of watermelons went over every few days, and they made a lot of money from it!

Yu Hai and Xiaocao also went down to look for ripe watermelons. Due to the tight time and heavy tasks, Xiaocao asked the kitten transformed by the little mending stone to help. The little mending stone can clearly perceive the internal structure of each watermelon, and its spiritual power has not recovered enough, otherwise it can share what it sees and hears with Xiaocao. In other words, it can see through the inside of the watermelon, and if the two share the perception, then Xiaocao can also have the ability to see through!

The little mending stone that was still one step away from this realm had to work his poor little feet and shuttle among the melons. Yu Xiaocao followed behind it and found a ripe one, and the little golden cat ran to it, meowing. Xiaocao bent down, pretended to pat it, and plucked the watermelon.

One person and one cat cooperated more and more tacitly, and soon Xiaocao left Daddy far behind. Picking watermelons, they each share a plot of land to avoid duplication of work. The ripe watermelons in the acre of land that Yu Xiaocao was assigned to were quickly found by her. She attacked another piece of land.

Yu Hai saw that his little daughter's speed was too fast, for fear that she would pick the raw melon, so he went over with some anxiety, carefully checked the melon she picked, and was surprised to find that the little daughter was not only more efficient than him, but also that none of the melons picked were not ripe, so he completely relieved himself.

With the cheating artifact Little Golden Cat, Yu Xiaocao took over the picking work of three acres of land alone, and successfully completed the task. Fang Junping was also because of her fast speed, for fear that there would be fish that slipped through the net, so he searched carefully behind her again, and found that not a single ripe melon had fallen in the ground that his little cousin had picked.

The admiration and doubts in my heart were left behind because of the heavy work of weighing and loading the truck. After the carriage filled with Wang Ergou and the Liu brothers, there were also a lot of watermelons. Liu Hu suggested that he and his eldest son drive a carriage to the town to sell the melons.

Yu Hai plans to give him the melons according to the wholesale method, and the money earned is his brother-in-law's. was rejected by Liu Hu! In his opinion, their family eats and lives in Yu's family, and he owes a lot of silver to see a doctor and take medicine. If you take advantage of the Yu family and use the Yu family's cars, horses and watermelons to make money for yourself, it will be better than pigs and dogs!

Liu Hu's meaning, he helped the Yu family sell melons, and all the money he earned was counted as the Yu family. Yu Hai knew that his sister and brother-in-law were in difficulty, so where was he willing to take advantage of his brother-in-law. When the two were arguing in the melon field, Yu Xiaocao spoke: "Dad, uncle!" If you continue to fight, the melons will rot in the ground! ”

Yu Caifeng glared at Yu Hai with a straight face, and said unhappily: "Xiaohai! You're messing with your sister! Sister knows that you want to help me, but we are my sister and brother-in-law, so if we can't help, we will always take advantage of our younger brother, will we still have the face to mix in Dongshan Village in the future? If you do this again, we'll move out......"

Yu Hai saw his sister's unhappy look, and hurriedly explained: "Sister, I didn't mean that, I ......"

"Dad, auntie, I have an idea, you don't think it can be done!" Yu Xiaocao saw that both parties were very persistent and had no intention of taking a step back, so he came up with an idea.

Yu Hai knew that the little girl had always been a clever girl, and she would definitely be able to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so she nodded again and again: "Cao'er, what do you think, let's hear it?" ”

"Dad, aunt! One of you thinks that the aunt's family has helped so much, and is embarrassed to let her do day jobs; One is that I think my father has helped you a lot, help to do some work, and feel at ease......" Yu Xiaocao first analyzed the psychology of the two families.

When Yu Hai and Yu Caifeng heard this, they couldn't stop nodding their heads and saying yes!

"Auntie, uncle, do you have any plans for the future?" Yu Xiaocao asked suddenly.

Liu Hu thought about it seriously and said, "I have discussed with your aunt, and when your family is busy for a while, we will apply to the village chief for a homestead and build a shed to move out first...... Listen to me, the sea! I'm also a man who stands up to the sky, and I can't keep my wife and brother alive! Doesn't that make people poke their backbones? ”

Without waiting for Yu Hai to dissuade him, he said again: "Don't worry, I'm a man's family, can't I even support my wife and children?" When I was in the Northeast, I often went up to the mountains to hunt some game to improve my life. In this West Mountain, as long as you don't go deeper, there are still a lot of prey! With my body, I don't have to worry about finding a job on the dock! Your brother-in-law and I, although I don't have your ability, can't starve your sister and nephews! ”

Liu Hu's body has completely recovered after these days of recuperation. He is a typical Northeast man, burly, tiger-backed, and powerful! is also the head of the family, Yu Hai put himself in his brother-in-law's shoes and felt that he was right. Guys, you can't always rely on others!

"Auntie, uncle! You don't want to drag my dad down, we can all understand this feeling. But we can't call you in vain! You see, every day you come to help pick vegetables, you have a salary of 20 yuan a day, and your family is helping to plant corn and take care of the melon fields, and you are busy every day. If we don't say anything, we're afraid that the village will say that we are desperately calling for unpaid day workers! Yu Xiaocao also expressed her father's concerns. On the one hand, Yu Hai wants to help his sister and brother-in-law, but on the other hand, he is afraid that someone will gossip!

Yu Xiaocao paused for a moment, and then said: "As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts!" Auntie, uncle, you see if this will work! In previous years, we sold these watermelons individually, the big ones were five taels of silver, the small ones were four taels, and they were sold until the last three taels of silver! You pull it to the side of the treasure building, and tell the shopkeeper there that it is our family, and if you want to set up a stall nearby, he will definitely not stop it! You sell watermelons for us, we can't let you work in vain, for every watermelon sold, we will give you a commission of 20 silver, do you think it's okay? ”

Yu Xiaocao didn't want to take advantage of her relatives, but she knew that if the commission was high, her aunt and uncle would definitely not agree. A watermelon costs 20 yuan, a cart is less than 30 or 40 watermelons, and if you pull two carts a day, the aunt's family must have at least one or two silver incomes.

The yield of watermelons at home can be sold for a month, and then the aunt's family will be able to build a decent house with the money from selling melons. My aunt has decided to settle in Dongshan Village, and it is a must to have her own house! The eldest uncle said that building a shack is fine in summer and autumn, but with the temperature in winter in the north, it will freeze to death!

Yu Caifeng wanted to say something, but was stopped by her eldest son, Lalayijiao. Liu Junping whispered in his mother's ear: "Mother, just follow what my little cousin said!" We don't have the ability now, and when the days come to a long time, there will always be a time to repay this affection! If you continue to argue, you will fight until dark and there will be no result! ”

Yu Caifeng's heart was entangled for a moment, she knew that once her younger brother decided something, the eight horses would not be able to pull it back. Xiaocao's suggestion should be the biggest concession for his younger brother. As the eldest son said, the days are long, and the younger brother's family is busy, so she will help them do more work in the future, and the family will help when the farm is busy, and slowly repay this love!
