After the house warmed up, Song Shuzhi also went to the kang, looked at the two children and said: "Baoya, our luck is really good, we have to incense the God of Wealth when we go back, thank him for bless our family!" ”

Song Shuzhi regarded the sudden withdrawal of the Zhou family as "good luck", but she didn't know that Xu Zhinian had already reached this point.

"Yes, mother, we call stupid people stupid blessings, but then you have to work harder, Zhou Lili and her husband are picking, but our fried rice and fried noodles business can't be stopped."

"Don't worry, my mother can do it alone! As long as you can make money, it doesn't matter if your mother is busy and tired, you have to earn money quickly and welcome your new sister-in-law through the door! ”

"Mother, now that you are just cooking, the table change rate is already very low, if you add the low-profit fried noodles and fried rice, the meal time may be slower, and the business of the window may be greatly affected."

"Huh? What's that going on? ”

"I think you should find a helper and let my dad quit his job at the cement factory."

As soon as Xu Zhinian's words fell, he heard Xu Jingdong's footsteps.

Song Shuzhi hurriedly gave Xu Zhinian a look, and said in a low voice: "Baoya, don't mention this matter again, how can you let your father quit his serious job?" Although the work of the cement factory is a bit hard and tiring, how many people want to enter, and the income is always better than farming! ”

At this time, Xu Jingdong pushed the door and walked into the kang house, his eyes took turns on the faces of the three people, he cleared his throat and said, "I agree with my baby daughter's suggestion, this job, just quit!" ”

"Dad, your ears are too good!"

"It's not, I can't hear anyone else's words, but my precious girl can hear me clearly two miles away!"

Xu Jingdong rubbed Xu Zhinian's hair dotingly, and said: "Girl, in the future, you will believe what you say, Daddy, you let Dad go to the sea, Dad will catch the tide, and also swim in the sea, and flutter and flutter!" ”

"Dad, aren't you afraid that you won't understand and turn around and choke on water? When the time comes, the cement factory will not want you. ”

"If you don't want it, you don't want it, can a living person suffocate urine to death? As the old saying goes, if a person moves to live, a tree moves to die, but this person cannot be hanged from a tree. Although Dad didn't get involved in your affairs at the cafeteria window, but his ears have always grown on you, and I know all these things in my heart, so Dad decided to work with your mother to do the window and run this business prosperously. ”

Xu Zhinian was a little impressed by his conservative father.

She still remembers that when they met for the first time, Xu Jingdong's whole person looked like a piece of dead wood, his eyes were blank, and he was hooked all over, as if he had just been fished out of the cement.

But now he is full of spirit, his eyes are bright, he is energetic to work, and he has the confidence to speak - Xu Zhinian has injected a heart booster into his soul.

"Dad, you really want to work with me on the window?"

"Doesn't I feel sorry for you? I can't let you suffer alone, and then exhaust your body, where can I find such a good daughter-in-law? ”

Xu Jingdong's personality is also a lot more cheerful than before, he was overwhelmed by life before, and he couldn't even say a word of playfulness, since his family was revitalized by Xu Zhinian, his face is always beaming, and his relationship with Song Shuzhi has become more intimate.

Song Shuzhi punched him: "When did you learn to be flamboyant, okay, since you agreed, you will quit your job in the factory tomorrow, and after planting these fields at home, go to the city to work with me!" ”

It's the end of April, and farming is a big deal for farmers, and everything can be postponed, only this solar term waits for no one.

"Tomorrow I will get some money, and I will buy seeds and fertilizers in the town."

"Seeds are available to my father and mother, isn't it the same as before, corn and sorghum, just go to the town and buy some fertilizer."

Song Shuzhi said as she flipped through the banknotes from her pocket.

"Mother, this year, we are still planting corn and sorghum in those two days?"

Xu Zhinian asked both of them this question, Song Shuzhi smiled and said: "Since I married your father and arrived in Xujiagouzi Village, the crops in the field have not changed, they have always been corn and sorghum!" ”

"Mother, now many people in the village have changed to soybeans, why are we still the same?"

"You mean, soybeans?" Song Shuzhi blinked her eyes, in her consciousness, this land was a step-by-step seed, and she never thought of changing it to something else.

Xu Jingdong nodded and said: "It's also a change to soybeans, you see how high the price of soybeans is this year, maybe it can be sold for more money at the end of the year." ”

"Don't change soybeans." Xu Zhinian read these four words, which made them stunned again.

Xu Zhiqi stared at his sister and quipped: "It seems that our little girl who sends money has a ghost idea again?" Tell me about it! ”

"Actually, I took the time to see my eldest brother a few days ago." Xu Zhinian sat cross-legged on the kang, his eyes shining with shrewdness: "By the way, I chatted with Uncle Li Xiangyang for a while, guess what's the most sought-after next year?" ”

"What's it?" The attention of the three of them was focused on Xu Zhinian's face, waiting for her to announce the holy decree.

"Four reds."

"Four reds?" Song Shuzhi glanced at Xu Jingdong, Xu Jingdong thought for a while, and said, "Is it said on the radio that the new varieties of peanuts introduced in Jilin are introduced?" ”

"Dad, you're pretty well informed!"

"Peanuts can't be planted, Baoya, you haven't been in the ground, you don't know, you have to use soft sandy soil to grow peanuts, our land is a black soil wetland, which is most suitable for medium corn sorghum...... Besides, there are no peanuts planted in ten miles and eight towns, so if we plant them, who will we sell them to? ”

"Dad, have you ever heard of peanut oil?"

Xu Zhinian's question made Xu Jingdong's eyes wider, in the impression of Northeast people, there are only two kinds of edible oil - soybean oil and meat oil.

Can peanuts still be squeezed for oil? I've never heard of it.

"In fact, the machine that squeezes soybean oil can squeeze peanut oil, some people have tried it in developed areas in the south, peanut oil is thick, fragrant and nutritious, I said to Uncle Li, he will start squeezing oil at the end of the year, you can buy it at a fixed point, we planted peanuts, he has packaged!"

"You girl, why did you talk about what to plant behind our backs." Xu Jingdong's expression was not like happiness, but a look of melancholy - there was no suitable land at home, and he couldn't plant it if he wanted to.

"Aren't my two sisters-in-law's houses all sandy land?" When Xu Zhinian chatted with Song Shuzhi before, he had silently collected all this information.

"yes, but ...... Give this good thing to them, they won't appreciate it, and if they don't succeed in planting and lose money later, they have to blame us! ”

Song Shuzhi knows these two concubines too well, when she thinks of the conflicts with them during the New Year, and then thinks of her going out early and returning late to serve the elderly every day, they don't ask a word, and she feels a little awkward in her heart.

"Mother, who said that you want to give them good things? Shall we just change the land? ”
