Chapter 105: A dilemma
It's not that Li Degui has no vision, it's all because Ye Fei, this kid, is too modest.
is obviously a business of a few hundred catties, but it can still be said to be a small business calmly.
Where is this still self-humility, obviously it is in front of the face.
Li Degui couldn't refute it, after all, it was someone else who did business, so what could he say.
He came over today to find Ye Fei for other things.
Before he could speak, Ye Fei stuffed a bowl of porridge in his hand.
"Uncle Village Chief came so early, I must have had breakfast yet, I just made porridge to taste!"
Li Degui, the village chief, held it with a flattered face, thinking it was an ordinary bowl of sweet potato porridge, but found that it was actually a bowl of white porridge.
It's full of white rice, and it's very thick.
This frightened Li Degui a lot, and he hurriedly shirked it and didn't dare to eat it.
How many rice do you have to put in such a thick porridge?
Even if he is the village head, he can't eat such a good thing if he doesn't celebrate the New Year's holidays.
And Ye Fei actually brought two side dishes to the table, and there was actually meat in them.
He was almost stunned.
Seeing that he hesitated and didn't dare to eat, Ye Fei smiled.
"The village chief will eat first, let's talk while eating, is there something wrong with you coming to me?"
Li Degui was told by him, and he didn't put the bowl in his hand, and he didn't put it down, so he had to look at it dryly.
Ye Fei also gave him vegetables.
"I just wanted to ask you, how long are you going to do this business?"
Unexpectedly, Ye Fei only smiled when he heard his words.
"If you have to do business, you have to continue to do it, otherwise where will I go to find food."
Li Degui couldn't help but glance at him and muttered.
"If you plant in this field, you will have something to eat."
"Could it be that you don't plan to plant those fields?"
Hearing the village chief's words, Ye Fei's eyes immediately lit up, and he reacted and asked.
"Uncle, listening to what you say, are the seedlings all landed?"
Li Degui nodded with a smile and touched his nose.
"That's not it, your uncle still has some skills, and I paid all the money you gave."
"It's not that I'm thinking that you're not at home during the day and you're busy receiving goods at night, so I don't want to tell you about it sooner."
Ye Fei hurriedly sandwiched a piece of meat for him, and when the atmosphere came to this, Li Degui didn't twist it, and directly drank a big mouthful of porridge, and then continued.
"Those seedlings are soaked in my field first, when will you take them yourself, but your fields have to be turned over, otherwise they will all be in one piece, and you still hope to grow something."
"But you really have to hurry up and find a way, my seedlings will be planted in a few days, and where will you put these seedlings then."
Ye Fei nodded, indicating that he already knew.
He also understands the situation of his own fields, which have been abandoned for too long, and the soil has been compacted.
There are also some fields that must be reinforced, otherwise they will be washed away as soon as the water is released.
The fields are full of grass, but there are no pesticides to buy these days.
He didn't have time to pull the weeds.
The key is that the vitality of these weeds is very tenacious, even if they are pulled out and not dried, a rain can come back to life.
It was necessary to use the plough and rake dragged by the oxen to and fro the fields several times, and the roots of the weeds in the soil were completely crushed.
In this way, not only can rice be planted well, but it can also be used as fertilizer.
However, Ye Fei has not been in the field for a long time.
When he was asked to plow the field, he seemed a little overwhelmed.
In the paddy fields, there are not only eels, but also countless snails, barefoot, if accidentally stepped on and broken, the shell in the flesh can hurt badly.
The sun was above his head, hot and hot, soaking in muddy water under his feet, and it was difficult to move one deep and one shallow.
Every now and then, a snake will spit out, which can startle him.
What's more, he is not very good at the technical work of driving cattle.
It's just that a crop man like his brother can endure this kind of suffering.
Ye Fei didn't like to work before, and he didn't go to the field when he was idle.
The small vegetables grown at home are all cooked by Jiang Yu alone.
If he really wants to let him, a person who has been idle for more than 40 years, really want his life.
Especially if he wanted him to put aside his business for a few days and go to farming honestly, he was even more reluctant.
It's not because he really hates farming, but his eldest brother Ye Fan is still waiting for him to do business and take money for surgery.
How can such a big event be delayed?
Isn't it just farming, what if you leave it for a few days?
Ye Fei thought about it in his heart, looked at Li Degui in front of him and spoke with a smile.
As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.
Seeing Ye Fei bring him cigarettes again, Li Degui's eyes lit up.
This is a good cigarette, and I didn't give it last time.
Ye Fei, this kid, can actually afford such cigarettes, this business is really big.
Ye Fei said with a grin.
"Uncle, I want to ask you for help with something."
"What's the matter, you say, you say I can help."
As soon as Li Degui took the cigarette he handed over, he heard him say that he wanted to help, and his heart chuckled.
This kid won't have anything to do with again, take his things.
But when he held the cigarette in his hand, he was reluctant to give it back to him, so he had to carefully hang it on his ear and ask him.
"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to farm, but I really don't have time to farm during this time!"
Hearing this, Li Degui's face instantly darkened.
Dare you kid to tease me, ask for seedlings for a while, and don't plant for a while.
Seeing that the village chief's face had changed, Ye Fei hurriedly explained.
"The village chief said don't be angry first, listen to my explanation, I'm not too lazy to plow the fields, I'm really in a hurry."
I don't know if my father Ye Fu and the village chief have talked about it, Ye Fei still told his eldest brother about his recent experience.
When it came to the cost of surgery to treat the leg, Ye Fei emphasized it twice seriously.
After listening to Ye Fei's explanation, Li Degui's face softened, and the eyes looking at him became different.
"Your dad is too honest, he doesn't want to ask anyone to help him with anything, but he is the most diligent when others invite him."
"But your kid has changed a lot, and he still knows that he has a deep brotherhood, thinking about your father and your brother, but the person who wants you to go on the right path the most."
Li Degui couldn't help but sigh at this time, and patted Ye Fei on the shoulder as if he was concerned.
"It stands to reason that if something so big happens to your brother, our village should also help, even if it doesn't look at your father's face, after all, they are all neighbors."
"But you also know that every family has been running out of food lately, not to mention the extra money."
Li Degui thought about it and said with an embarrassed face.
But Ye Fu has helped many people in the village, and even the village chief's family has invited him to help put on the beam for the new family.
Such a big favor can't be repaid.
However, during this time, the money for the village to buy seedlings has not yet been settled, and where to find the money is really difficult to do.
