Maybe it was her son's solemn expression of determination that made Chen Xiulan happy, or maybe her husband had to give him a reward after working on the farm all morning. After returning from picking vegetables on her own plot, Chen Xiulan went to buy half a catty of pork, so she put it on the dining table during lunch.
There are two rare additional meat dishes.
Stir-fried meat with vegetables, stir-fried pork with loofah, and a plate of cold shredded potatoes.
The staple food is rice.
Sitting on small stools in front of the low wooden table, looking at his father who still looked serious, his mother who was gentle and joyful, and his active younger brother Su Chunyu who was in the fifth grade of elementary school, Su Chunfeng felt endless joy and happiness in his heart.
As well as the sadness, regret, and guilt that are difficult to express...
In the last life, both he and his younger brother failed to fulfill their parents' wishes - Su Chunfeng stopped going to school after graduating from junior high school. Instead, he was stubborn and even ran away from home to secretly practice mysterious magic with his master; while his younger brother Su Chunyu barely finished high school.
, he dropped out of school and worked as a farmer at home. Later, Su Chunyu did well in his own business and earned some money for his parents. However, Su Chunfeng was addicted to the practice of trickery and had been a lazy old man for more than ten years.
His parents were sad and disappointed, and together with him, he was ridiculed and pitied by his neighbors.
Later, when the most intense dispute broke out between him and his parents, he had achieved some success in cultivation, so he set foot in the Qimen world and quickly became somewhat famous.
At that time, he thought that he could become rich overnight, but due to various reasons, he did not start to quickly acquire huge wealth until the second half of 2009. However, he discovered that wealth is not omnipotent. He had no time to enjoy it, and he had no time to save his parents.
I was disappointed with him and had no time to honor my parents...
"Father, mother." Su Chunfeng couldn't help but sigh, and said with self-blame: "In the past, it was all my fault, I'm sorry."
Su Cheng and Chen Xiulan were both a little confused, what happened to this child today?
"Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Xiulan felt a little sour in her heart and said gently: "Eat quickly. After dinner, go back to school and study hard in the future."
"Yeah." Su Chunfeng nodded, his eyes a little red.
Su Cheng frowned, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Mom, go get another wine cup... Let Xiaofeng drink some wine with me."
"Nonsense, the child is still young." Chen Xiulan said hurriedly.
"It doesn't matter if you drink less." Su Cheng snorted and said angrily with a straight face: "Any naughty kids in junior high school who don't drink? Don't look at all the pretentious ones at home all day long.
Let's see which village has no young men drunk during the market gathering?"
Su Chunfeng smiled shyly and said, "Mom, I'll drink less. I'm happy today."
Chen Xiulan pursed her lips and glared at her son, but she stood up with a smile and took a clean wine cup and put it on the table: "Three cups at most, no more."
"Yeah." Su Chunfeng responded.
"I want to drink too!" Su Chunyu shouted while waving her chopsticks.
Snapped!
Su Cheng slapped his second son on the head and scolded: "Drink, you are only a little older!"
Su Chunyu didn't dare to say anything at the moment.
In fact, Su Cheng didn't completely believe that his son Su Chunfeng would become so obedient and sensible after he expressed his determination this time, and he would definitely study hard and go to college in the future - this kind of determination to express his attitude was something that Su Cheng had never done before.
It happened frequently, and it didn't achieve much results. What made Su Cheng happy was that the child made his decision voluntarily this time, and his attitude was sincere and serious, and he also showed an apologetic look.
Faintly, Su Cheng felt as if the child had grown up overnight.
As a parent, from the moment the child is born crying, you have been happy and joyful every time the child shows its growth, and every time you are full of confidence in the child's future... Now that you have grown up, drink some.
What is wine?
No matter how tight you are, you can't stop a half-year-old kid from secretly drinking with his classmates.
With this kind of joyful and indulgent mentality, Su Cheng, who had been tired all morning, drank a little too much. So during the meal, he unknowingly thought that Su Chunfeng was
An adult chatted with his wife about life and future plans.
The so-called plan is of course farm work, harvest, and how to make more money.
While Su Chunfeng was chatting with her parents, she was thinking a little guiltily about how to help her family improve their income.
In his previous life, he was busy practicing, and after getting involved in the Qimen Jianghu, he paid little attention to social, commercial and economic issues, so after his rebirth, he could not think of a golden idea to make a fortune. He was really a reborn person - of course, he was not ignorant.
Ten or twenty years later, urban housing prices and land prices will skyrocket, and some super-rich people will make a lot of money by doing various businesses...but it is not suitable for the current poor family at all.
Just when he was at a loss what to do, he heard his father mention that hiring a harvester for this year's wheat harvest would save some effort and time.
What Su Cheng was talking about was a simple machine that was mounted on the front of a small tractor and could quickly cut down wheat and rice. It had just become popular in rural areas.
Youdao means that the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
Su Chunfeng had an idea and immediately thought of the rise of the combine harvester a year after graduating from junior high school in the previous life. I remember that the old Zhong family who was the first to buy a combine harvester in the village used a combine harvester to cut the wheat during the busy farming season in May.
Swirl the ground, and you can turn the ground again in autumn, and you will become rich in one year...
Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Dad, I think instead of spending money to hire other people's machines, we should buy our own combine harvester and make money!"
"What?"
"A combine harvester!" Su Chunfeng said with a serious expression: "After the self-study class last night, when I went to the toilet, I heard two teachers talking there, saying that the combine harvester is the most time-saving and labor-saving, and it has begun to become popular in many places across the country...
...After that thing is put into the ground, the villagers just hold the grain bags in the field and wait to load the wheat grains and pull them back to dry. It is said that hundreds of acres of land can be cut in a day, and when it is done, the harvester can be removed and the top-swinging machine can be installed.
The machine rotates the ground again. The ground is flat and soft, with no big clods. It is much better than the land plowed by a tractor. Moreover, after the rotation, there is no need to prepare the land. Tell me, it will save trouble.
ah!"
When Su Cheng heard this, he frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Did your two teachers tell me how much does it cost to cut an acre of wheat? How much does it cost to turn an acre of land? Who would use it if it's too expensive?"
Su Chunfeng scratched his head and searched through his memory, then said: "It's not expensive, only twenty or thirty yuan, right? The key is to save time and effort. No one cares about spending this kind of money. Think about it, you can save ten yuan."
How much more can I earn by going out to work in half a month?"
"That's true." Su Cheng nodded repeatedly, then shook his head and said, "That combine harvester must be very expensive, and we can't afford it."
"Loan!" Su Chunfeng said without any hesitation: "I heard from the two teachers that a combine harvester, a rotator, and a 50 tractor cost only 70,000 yuan in total! If you do it well, you can get it in one season.
You can earn 70,000 to 80,000 just by cutting wheat!”
"There are so many?" Su Cheng's eyes flashed.
Chen Xiulan's eyes were also full of joy and surprise. When did her eldest son know so much? He spoke clearly and clearly, and his tone was loud enough. "It's only" 70,000 yuan. Seventy thousand yuan is seven thousand yuan households. He
My father only earned fifteen yuan a day by working hard to build a house, carrying bricks and mud!
Not to mention, at such a young age, he even mentioned loans!
You know, although the National Credit Union encouraged farmers to take loans to do business a few years ago, what is the result now? Most of the loans are difficult to recover, and credit unions and banks no longer dare to lend casually. Those who get the loan earn
Those who have lost money are refusing to pay it back, and those who have lost money owe a lot of debt. It is said that they can't even pay back the interest - just thinking about the high interest rate on the loan can scare people.
How many ordinary people dare to borrow money?
Why do banks and credit unions lend to you?
"Our teacher said that with the combine harvester, it will not only be busy harvesting near us, but also go to other places, to the north and south. The wheat maturity stages are different in different places. It will basically not stop in a circle like this, at least
I can work for more than a month or even two months." Su Chunfeng counted on his fingers and said: "Based on one month's calculation, one hundred acres of land are cut every day, and one acre of land is thirty yuan, which is three thousand yuan, excluding the gas money, food, drink and employment.
The driver's salary must be more than 2,000, right? Even if it is the lowest income of 2,000, how much will it cost in one month? Sixty thousand! After cutting the wheat and then spinning the ground, you can work for at least a month, right? How much money can you make?
How many?"
Su Cheng's words made Su Cheng's blood boil. In addition, due to drinking, his face turned red. He couldn't even think about how his fourteen-year-old son knew so many things. He immediately said: "Boy, don't talk nonsense."
Badao, according to what you said, you still can’t earn more than 100,000 yuan a year?”
"Nonsense?" Su Chunfeng said firmly: "This is what our teacher said. They both plan to buy it together! They also said that in two years, I'm afraid there will be combine harvesters everywhere, and it will be too late to buy them by then.
Well, there are too many competitors, so it’s certainly hard to make money.”
"Did your teacher really say that?"
"Is this a lie?" Su Chunfeng picked up the wine cup and drank it in one sip, and said with a red face: "The two teachers also said that when they bought the harvester and the farm was busy, they took leave and stopped teaching."
Su Cheng nodded and said nothing more, but thought about it seriously.
Su Chunfeng did not continue.
He knows that his father must be tempted, and there is a high probability that this thing will happen. He knows his father, he has been a soldier and fought in the war, he is the kind of person who, although he is capable and courageous, needs someone to encourage him by his side.
The character of making suggestions. And in this era, farmers with little education have a blind sense of trust in the teachers in the school - the teachers are educated, and what the educated people say is definitely right.
After the meal, Su Chunfeng felt much more at ease and did not stay at home much longer. He found two books and went to school.
After Chen Xiulan washed the dishes and urged Xiaoyu to take a nap, she went to the east bedroom and said to her husband, who was lying on the bed for a nap but couldn't sleep and was thinking about things: "Dad, what happened to Xiaofeng's child today?"
?Speak like an adult..."
"Oh." Su Cheng simply responded, as if he had no intention of paying attention to his wife.
Chen Xiulan understood her husband's temperament, so she sat on the bedside and said with a gentle smile: "You really want to listen to Xiaofeng and buy a combine harvester?"
"Huh?" Su Cheng turned around, snorted with a straight face, and said: "What does a little kid know? Why should I listen to him? He heard this from the teacher... Hey, I said
Damn, this might actually work. I was working outside a few days ago, and I heard someone talk about a combine harvester."
"Our family has no money." Chen Xiulan sighed.
"Borrow, or if that doesn't work, take out a loan!" Su Cheng seemed to have made up his mind.
"Why do we need a loan? Can the People's Credit Union lend us a loan?"
"Mortgage the house!"
"What?" Chen Xiulan was shocked and shook her head quickly: "No, no!"
"It's okay." Su Cheng turned over and sat up, and said with a serious expression: "I've thought about it, if it doesn't work, I'll risk selling the combine harvester again. It will always be worth some money. Besides, how much won't we make some money? So, no matter what.
You won’t really lose your family…just do it!”
Chen Xiulan bit her lips lightly. The mentality of a farm woman made her accustomed to obeying her husband in all matters, but she still said worriedly: "I heard that credit union loans are not easy to get. If we use the house as a mortgage, others may not agree.
No, shall we borrow it first?"
"Seventy thousand yuan, where can I borrow that much?" Su Cheng shook his head and said, "My comrade Liu Pingdong is the director of the rural credit cooperative. I'll go find him!"
Chen Xiulan didn't say anything after hearing this.
