Since Ji Huai was unwilling to build a house together, Ji Hao was not allowed to build it together without permission. If he really built it together, it would be demolished and he would not agree to exchange the side house for the main house.

Ji Hao and his wife had no choice, and Liu Yun didn't want to live with Ji Huai and his wife, so they demolished and built them separately, half of the main house and half of the side house.

After half of it was demolished, Ji Huai's house looked even more shabby. The structure of the house was damaged and it was uninhabitable. Once it rained, a large part of the house collapsed.

Liu Yun felt happy after seeing it. They couldn't blame them. Ji Huai asked her to tear it down.

Then we will see where they live when they come back.

In a blink of an eye, the rice is ripe again.

Ji Huai and his family have stopped planting rice on their two acres of land for a long time, so they gave it to Uncle Ji's family for free. However, Uncle Ji's family said they would give them a certain percentage of the harvest each year.

When the rice is ripe, the pepper will naturally be ripe as well.

Liu Yun goes to the pepper garden every three days. There are no weeds in her pepper garden, and she cares more about it than her life. Seeing that the peppers are growing well this year, she feels happy in her heart.

So what if Ji Huai is making money now? He might not be making money in a few months, but pepper is different. It is available every year and can be harvested for decades. Ji Huai and his family have nothing.

Ji Hao was a little frustrated during this period, so Liu Yun asked him to come back confidently, "Our pepper will definitely sell for several hundred kilograms this year, and we may be able to pick even more. Come back and pick with me right away."

"Last year it was raised to 4.1 yuan. This year it might be 4.5 yuan. We also have several thousand yuan. We can pay back the money to build the house in one go."

Ji Hao also came back in a hurry and was very active in picking pepper.

Pepper is different from farm work. If he doesn't pick it quickly, it will be stolen. Wouldn't that cost his life?

The two picked the peppers back and soaked them. This year, the price actually increased to 4.5 yuan, and even 4.6 yuan. They were very happy. This year, they collected more than 400 kilograms. Isn’t it almost two yuan?

A thousand yuan?

The highest price ever.

Ji Hao and Liu Yun were reluctant to sell, thinking it could still go up, maybe to five yuan, and then they would make a profit.

Many people in the village have sold for fear of falling. The price of crops is volatile. Some people are rushing to harvest it. If the supply exceeds demand, the higher the price, the higher the price. When the gust of wind passes, the price may fall to the bottom.

After waiting and waiting, the price rose to 4.7 yuan. Ji Hao and Liu Yun were ready to make a move, but they didn't sell it either.

It's Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye.

Ji Huai and the others came back, and the other party actually bought a bigger car, and it was also modified. It seemed to be specially used for transporting goods. Looking at the collapsed house, the couple didn't mind at all.

Chen Haiyan cooked a meal and the family ate together.

Ji Huai and his wife are living well now, but she has already lived with Ji Hao and the eldest son. The land and some money left by Ji's father have been given to Ji Ha and the others, and it is impossible to pester Ji Huai.

The younger son would just take some money if he gave it to her, and she would be too embarrassed to ask for it if it wasn't given to her. Seeing that her son was promising, and now everyone in the village was praising Ji Huai, she would definitely have a bright face, so she wouldn't embarrass the couple.

At the dinner table, Liu Yun mentioned pepper.

"The price of pepper is quite good this year. More than 400 kilograms can be sold for more than 2,000 yuan. Pepper can grow for decades, so it is worth tens of thousands. This thing is stable and it bears fruit every year."

Behind the scenes, isn't it just that Ji Huai and the others are making money unstable?

There is something available for delivery today, but I don’t know if it will be available tomorrow.

If you sell the pepper, you will lose hundreds of thousands.

Ji Huai picked up a chicken drumstick for his son and looked at Liu Yun with a slight frown. His eyes seemed confused. Ji Hao gave Chen Haiyan a look, and he immediately said, "After dinner, help your brother pull the pepper."

Did you sell it in the city? I heard that the purchase price there is a dime more than in the town."

After hearing this, Ji Hao didn't speak immediately, waiting to see Ji Huai's reaction.

They definitely can't transport more than 400 kilograms. Doesn't Ji Huai have a car? It can save a lot of effort.

"Okay." Ji Huai didn't say anything, nodded, looked at the two people's expressions as if they already had tens of thousands of dollars, and asked, "Is four yuan more for a pound of pepper?"

"No, I heard that some places have raised the price to 4.8 yuan, maybe 5 yuan soon!" Liu Yun replied quickly, feeling happy.

If their family wasn't short of money, they would have to save it.

Sun-dried pepper is indestructible and can be stored for a long time.

"Isn't it lowered? There are not so many people buying now, it's all down to two yuan a piece." Ji Huai replied casually.

"What?" Liu Yun's face froze.

Ji Hao was also dumbfounded.

Two dollars for one?

Why is it down by half?

"Don't talk nonsense! Just hope that something bad will happen to us!" Liu Yun had a sullen face, obviously not accepting this fact, and retorted loudly.

Ji Huai found it funny, "It's not my acquisition. Why is my sister-in-law talking so excitedly?"

"Impossible! There are so many people rushing to take it!" Liu Yun said with certainty. He quickly went to the village to ask after a few bites of the meal.

Most people in the village have sold it. The price of more than four yuan is already very high. They sell it in a hurry. Who cares about the price?

After asking a group of people, Li Dazhuang's mother said, "I went to town today and I heard that it was one yuan and ninety pounds."

Upon hearing it, it was lower than two yuan a piece. Liu Yun felt her blood pressure rise and almost fainted. Her eyes turned black. Both she and Ji Hao insisted not to sell it!

It will definitely come back up.

How could they be willing to lose half of their money in one fell swoop?

Since it was not for sale, there was no need for Ji Huai to transport it to the city. Not long after lunch, the couple went back to the city.

I have a car, not to mention how convenient it is.

Ji Hao looked at Ji Huai's car and felt very sad. He heard that this kind of car costs seven or eight thousand yuan, but that's seven or eight thousand yuan.

Later, I heard that Ji Huai is now taking Li Dazhuang and others to the city to help him unload the goods. According to Li Dazhuang, Ji Huai is very prosperous in the city and knows many bosses. His salary is 120 yuan a month.

.

He earns 70 to 80 yuan a month as a teacher. Teachers are scarce in the town and one person has to teach several classes. It is really annoying that Li Dazhong can earn so much money a month even though he cannot read a word.

Their house was gradually built, and Ji Huai's half was not built, so all the money saved was used to build a side house. Four small side houses were built at once, and Chen Haiyan was generously accommodated in one. Of course, the other side's

I spent some money and subsidized them all.

Ji Hao also left a stairwell on the first floor. When he has money, he can build another floor above.

But now, in addition to owing a lot of debt, after waiting for half a year, the purchase price of pepper has not increased, but has dropped to 1.5 yuan. They are going crazy.

From 4.7 to 1.5 yuan, they lost two-thirds. People in the village were laughing at them behind their backs, but why should they sell it? Still unwilling to accept it.

How about selling it when the price reaches two yuan?

Not long after their house was built, Ji Huai, who originally said he would have the money to build a house in two years, also went home to build a house.

Li Dazhuang's father is a contractor, and Li Gousheng's father is a famous carpenter within ten miles. The patterns he carves out of wood are lifelike. He has been doing this for decades, and the cost is naturally expensive.

Ji Huai hired just two people. I heard that hiring Li Gosheng's father would cost thousands of yuan. The doors, windows, tables, chairs, beds and cabinets were all made of wood. It was just one floor. It was a very traditional house, but anyone with a discerning eye would know that.

, this cost is not small.

Ji Hao knew that the cost of building the other party's house would definitely be more expensive than theirs.

Seeing Ji Huai making so much money, he was really ready to make a move with his small salary. He also wanted to drive a tractor, and he also wanted to transport goods. After all, she was also a teacher, and she had seen a little bit of the world. There was no way she was as good as Ji Huai.

?

Liu Yun naturally felt the same way. He must be better than Ji Huai, and he blindly said confidently, "If you do it, you will definitely do better than Ji Huai and make more money!"

"Don't say thousands a month, you might be able to earn more!"

Ji Hao feels more and more that he can do it too. What's so good about a teacher who is seven or eighty-one months old?

So, he decisively resigned.

After selling half of the pepper, I also sold my car, went to school, and told many people, "When I make money, I will definitely buy pepper back. I won't buy land like Ji Huai, which is completely useless."

"Building a house and buying a hill to grow pepper are assets. Although the price of pepper has fallen a bit, it will rise back sooner or later."

Little did he know that when he bought the car, Ji Huai had already sold the car to Li Dazhuang and asked him to collect and deliver the goods. Because there are so many people doing this now, the village can no longer receive so much goods, and all parties are here.

Prices are lowered and profits are slim.

He began to transport some electrical appliances and rare items from the capital to sell, including televisions, electric fans, children's electronic watches, small alarm clocks...

Anyway, they are some things that are rarely seen in the city.

Nowadays, people's living standards are gradually improving. Some people can make some money by working hard, opening restaurants, clothing stores, and making snacks, so they demand quality of life.

An electrical appliance can earn dozens of yuan, and a small item can earn a few yuan. He is responsible for transporting goods, while Qin Yu rents a shop and sells goods there, becoming a salesperson in his own store.

"How much does this fan cost?"

"This fan costs one hundred and fifty yuan." Qin Yu walked over with a smile and said to the old lady.

She now has some changes in her dressing style. She has her hair tied up, a light blue long dress, and fashionable wedge shoes on her feet.

"Is it so expensive?" The old lady's enthusiasm slowed down a lot.

"These electrical appliances are indeed very expensive now. We only have a few in the store. We sold two of them yesterday. This is the last one." Qin Yu's expression did not change and he continued.

"Grandma, I want that watch." The little boy pulled by the old lady looked at the counter and pulled her over there, "I want that watch."
