Chapter 17: The School Girl's Pocket Sister (14)
Seeds twice as big as sesame seeds, more than half an acre of land, when will she plant them?
"I'm going to ask someone for help! Milk, the old ladies who pinch the dog's sprouts with us, can they do this job? ”
The old man was about to cross his eyebrows and face coldly, and You Yu said with an innocent face: "Grandpa, didn't we say that I should let myself make a difference?" ”
Before the words of scolding the granddaughter could be spoken, she swallowed it back.
"They're capable, how much do you want to pay them a day?"
Grandma You is worried, how much can be sold for half an acre of cherry radish, I don't know! Now it's time to spend money on labor.
"Twenty yuan a day, is it okay to pack a lunch with meat?" You Yu still has more than 700 tickets, and he is panicked.
"The wages are right! Let your master go and cut a few more catties of meat, and I will call them one by one. Isn't being idle at home also idle? Twenty-one days, a lot! ”
The old lady didn't say much, and one morning she invited her old friends who pinched the dog's buds.
"Xiaoyu, you have a job to find us, we can do a lot of physical work!"
"Hahaha, as long as you are full, I will come without pay!"
When people are old, their ears are not good, and their voices are louder than the other, and the old house of Grandma You's family suddenly became lively.
Grandpa You only took his granddaughter fifty yuan, and then went into the city to cut meat and buy vegetables, saying that with this money, he could arrange food for her.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the sun came out, and a group of old ladies divided the seeds and went down to the ground.
Squatting in the ground that still smelled of feces, You Yu felt that after a long time, her sense of smell was numb.
The shallow ditches about five centimeters wide were dug by Grandpa You in advance.
All you need to do is gently bury the seeds along the shallow furrow.
"Girls, the distance between the seeds should be at least a palm's width apart, and the seeds should not be planted too densely."
"The width of a palm? I'm afraid it's not enough! "Which family doesn't have radishes as half a family in winter, and you don't know how to grow radishes?
"My radish is very small, not the round radish in winter, you listened to me!"
"Little radish? How small can it be? "Everyone was interested, asking questions.
"It's about the same as a table tennis ball, a little bigger." You Yu gestured with the size while speaking, which attracted greater enthusiasm from the old ladies.
"That's a big idea, it's not enough to stuff your teeth!" Taoshen labors hard for one bite? Will it be settled!
"It's said that it's eaten raw and cold, and I've heard my classmates say that whether they can be grown or not is another matter!"
It's not modest, the first time she planted, she didn't dare to be too optimistic.
Grandma You took the lead, and Lisuo began to plant, nagging while working:
"If I hadn't seen that she had spent more than 100 yuan to buy seeds, I wouldn't have bothered to take care of her, and I don't know if the seed money and labor costs could be sold!"
You Yu was dumbfounded: Old lady, obviously sixty yuan is more than 100 yuan for you, inflation is not such an expansion method!
"Is your radish gold-edged? More than a hundred seed dollars for less than an acre of land? You two are so used to being babies! ”
Everyone will be suspicious, who doesn't grow vegetables? Who doesn't buy seeds?
But it also costs money for people to ask them to help, isn't it a smashing job if they talk too much?
A few shrewd strokes took the topic away.
Whoever wants to import Ding this year, and who buys a house in the county, there is really no secret at all in the village.
It took half an hour of hard work to plant a large piece of land in a dustpan.
You Yu held his waist pole and looked at the sky: the seeds he bought by himself must be planted on his knees!
The old ladies invited are still very capable, and although the gossip on people's lips has not stopped, their subordinates are not ambiguous.
More than half of it was planted in the morning.
Grandma Zhuzhu also said: "We don't want to make a lot of money, we just want to work together to set up a dragon gate array!" ”
You Yu: If you hadn't pinched the dog ground buds together, I would have believed what you said! You won't let people erase the wolfberry sprouts that weigh a penny.
Grandpa You used 50 yuan to make a table of dishes: cold pork liver, konjac roast duck, fried shredded pork with fungus, scrambled eggs with leeks, and cabbage vermicelli soup.
He didn't have the ability to cook big dishes, and he didn't delay Grandma You's work.
It was his eldest daughter, You Fengxian, who was called to be a cook at noon today.
The chubby, ear-length and short-haired, who looked very similar to Grandma You, came to the field to call them home for dinner when the dishes were ready.
"Da Xiao, thank you for your hard work! Isn't my lord delaying your family's business! "You Yu is very conscious of being a master, and if you say good things, don't smash them at You Fengxian like money.
"What's the delay, now the business of roasting red lotus is very poor, and it will sell two hundred catties a day, and your eldest aunt will be busy alone." She looks like she's happy to be able to help her.
Looking at people, You Yu can immediately make memories of her, and she always has to take her with her when she counts the history of her family's suffering.
The eldest child is four years older than her father, born in five or five years, and before a few years of good life, a younger brother has been added to the family.
I also caught up with the fine grain pass, and my great-grandmother and great-grandfather were gone in those three years.
"Can't get enough to eat! I'm hungry! "My two-year-old brother's appetite is like a bottomless pit, crying all day long.
The eldest widow would secretly share half of the two taels of rice she received from the commune canteen at every meal.
I was so hungry that my feet were swollen and I couldn't put on my shoes, so I was discovered by my grandmother.
When I grew up, I had to help my grandmother pull a pigweed before going to school every day, and I barely finished elementary school.
The eldest son is diligent and capable, and at the age of twenty he married his twenty-four-year-old uncle Fang Hongbing.
The Fang family is in the county seat of Jiangxian County, and there are three brothers in the family.
The eldest uncle is the youngest son of the family, and the two elder brothers both worked in the state-owned vegetable oil factory, and he caught up with the tide of educated youths going to the countryside after graduating from junior high school that year, and went to the very remote rural areas in northern Sichuan to be educated youth.
Finally, in the 75th year, the family spent money to drag the relationship, and he was transferred back from the countryside where the staple food was red root.
After the reform and opening up, the couple sold roasted red lotus in the county.
A special large iron bucket oven is smeared with mud inside the barrel, and the bottom of the furnace is welded with steel bars.
The eldest aunt is responsible for washing and steaming the red lotus at home, and the eldest uncle is responsible for roasting and selling.
In the eighties and nineties, the two of them relied on the roasted red animal business of a few cents to a dime and a pound to support a son and a daughter.
In recent years, there have been more types of snacks in the city, and the business of roasted red lotus has also plummeted.
After marrying his eldest daughter Fang Haiqin, he bought a house for his youngest son Fang Xudong and became a family.
The two are about to become grandparents, and they are still desperately trying to earn milk powder money for their unborn grandson.
The food of the proprietor was good, and the old ladies were smiling.
With full enthusiasm, it only took three hours to plant the radish in the afternoon.
