Tian Jing happily leaned against her husband beside her, "Brother Zheng, the symptoms are different this time. She must be a greedy girl."
Li Zhengguo put his arms around his wife's shoulders and said, "Okay, I can give birth to anything. This is the last one."
Is it okay to give birth to anything?
Everyone in the room was shocked by these words.
Mother Li happily paid the consultation fee and sent Doctor Yang and his apprentice away.
When I got back to the house, I said, "It's sweet, the watermelon is cold, let's eat less."
Tian Jing nodded, "Yeah, I should eat less. I didn't know before, but I always want to eat something with a lot of water in my mouth."
"Eat cucumbers and tomatoes. There are a lot of them in the vegetable shed. Mom will pick them for you."
"Okay, pick more tomatoes."
Watching her mother leave, Li Min sat on the other side of her sister-in-law and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, why were you born so close?"
"Family planning is already being advocated, don't you know? You should hurry up, otherwise you will not be allowed to have children if you want to have children in the future. You will have to conceive and give birth in secret, and you will be fined after giving birth."
"Ah? There are also restrictions on having a baby?"
"Yeah, hurry up."
…
If you pay close attention, you will be happy in the second month.
Tian Jing didn't believe it, "You were pregnant a long time ago, didn't you know?"
Li Min shook his head, "No, it's just that those days happened to be the ovulation period you mentioned. We stopped using contraception and got pregnant all at once. My period is relatively accurate. No, I knew it as soon as it didn't come.
.”
Mother Li glared at her daughter, "Just joining in the fun."
"Mom, my sister-in-law said that if you don't hurry up and give birth, family planning will come soon, and you will be fined if you give birth again."
"Tiantian, is this true?"
Tian Jing nodded, "Didn't you hear the propaganda? It will be enforced soon."
Mother Li immediately dropped what she was doing and ran away.
Li Min snickered, "If my sister-in-law is also pregnant, can my mother be busy?"
"Barley is very capable, and wheat can do a lot of housework. Sister-in-law is actually the most blessed."
"If you say so, I think it is best for a husband and a daughter."
"Is it possible for you to have a baby if you want to? I've thought about it for the third time."
Li Min quickly comforted her sister-in-law, "It will definitely happen this time."
Tian Jing smiled broadly, "I think so too."
…
In the melon field, under the melon vines, little melons are growing vigorously with yellow flower hats on their heads. The members of the club are watching with joy, but they are reluctant to kill off the excess melons. Why is it bad to have more fruit?
The Niu family and Wang family insisted on listening to Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo.
Brother Wang also specially asked Li Zhengguo to help him beat two melons on the vines and show them to him.
Li Zhengguo, who was too busy to touch the ground, immediately went to Wang's house.
Brother Niu also came to see us, as did Captain Ou's two sons.
The three sons of the Yang family squeezed in even more unceremoniously. They were too embarrassed to invite Li Zhengguo, and they didn't worry about their own melon fields.
Li Zhengguo hit more than ten melon girls on the vines, and then they realized that they all ran away and went back to their own melon fields to work.
On the way back to the hill, Li Zhengguo was stopped by Li Weikang, "You are very busy, are you not recruiting any more workers?"
Li Zhengguo was stunned for a moment before he understood what he meant, "Ten yuan a month, only working during the busy farming season, what are you doing?"
"Dry."
"Where's your land?"
"I don't know how to plant, so I planted it for my uncle, and he gave me half of the grain."
"Okay, you can go work with me now. I'm really busy."
"I'll go tell Weiwei and I'll go right away."
"good."
…
Li Liguo was also too busy. He wanted to recruit workers, but Li Zhengguo said he would help him tomorrow, but he refused.
Last year, he relied on Zheng Guo's help and earned 8,000 yuan. This year, he is already a proficient person and can lead people to do things by himself.
Li Zhengguo asked him to go to Captain Ou.
Captain Ou happily sent his eldest son out, as long as he, his wife and two teenage grandsons were busy at home.
As for whether the commune members beat Gua Niu or not, it has nothing to do with him. Party Secretary Yang can let it go, so why can't he let it go? Only by suffering can one have a long memory.
Sure enough, half a month later, the people who were reluctant to play Gua Niu regretted it, because other people's melons changed every day, and they saw that their melons weighed five or six kilograms, while theirs only weighed two or three kilograms.
They anxiously went to find Li Zhengguo.
Li Zhengguo was busy pruning and pruning the vines. Wouldn't this cause trouble for him? He wouldn't go.
"Look at what I'm doing now, and then listen to why I'm doing it. Then you go back and figure it out on your own. I can't control it. When it's difficult to give birth, the doctor may not be able to find a solution."
This time they heard about restricting the growth of melon vines and transporting all nutrients into the only young melon. They finally understood the reason for beating Gua Niu, but it was already too late.
After returning, they cut off all but one of the extra melons, knocked off the branches, and applied top dressing. Although they couldn't catch up with other people's melons, they could see that they were expanding and growing rapidly.
In August, when the watermelons are ripe, Ouyang Meihua roars: "It's six to eight minutes to harvest the watermelons."
The members were stunned, isn’t it just a dime?
They didn't dare to ask Ouyang Meihua, so they all went to Captain Ou.
Captain Ou waved his hand, "This is called market saturation. If you don't sell, someone will sell it. If you don't pick the ripe watermelon, it will rot in the ground, and you won't get a penny."
"Once the cart is full, it will take time for Ouyang Meihua to sell it. She has the final say on the price of the next cart and how many kilograms to charge."
Those who understand, go to the end of the village to find Ouyang Meihua selling watermelons.
People who don't understand are still stubborn, why should they lower their prices? They go to the county town to sell it themselves.
Ouyang Meihua and Li Liguo were so busy that they wanted to fly.
She would pull a truck of watermelons out every other day. The watermelons took up a lot of space, so she raised the guardrail and could pull out more than 10,000 kilograms at a time. More than 10,000 kilograms is just over a thousand watermelons, and they sold very quickly.
As for the melons from her family and those from her siblings, Tian Daxia asked her to take them to the provincial capital and sell them in bulk in the market.
Can’t sell it? Impossible. Cut the watermelon into small pieces and try it for free.
Not to mention tasting it, it attracts people when it is cut.
After selling them, they were all cashed in. Without negotiating the price, the person who bought the melons simply agreed. She suspected that the bid was too low.
When she returned to Kushan and asked Tian Daxia's siblings, her siblings told her, "We only sell it for two cents, and we won't raise the price."
"Why?"
"You will be punished if you disturb the market price. As long as you don't sell at a high price, it doesn't matter whether others sell at a high price or not."
Okay, she is obedient.
After selling other people's watermelons twice, she made another trip to the provincial capital. Before entering the city, she was stopped and all was cashed out. She was given money on the spot.
As soon as she got more than 3,000 yuan, Ouyang Meihua raised her hand and chopped a stone on the roadside into several pieces, "What a broken stone, it's blocking my way."
This little money, whether she liked it or not, was earned through months of hard work by her husband and brother-in-law.
Moreover, there are a lot of watermelons at home, and she is very busy and has no time to use force to compete with others.
The person who bought the watermelon glanced at the stone that was broken into several pieces. No wonder this woman dared to run to the provincial capital with a stupid man. It turned out to be a master.
"Sister, when will the next trip come? Otherwise, it's only 18 cents per pound, and we'll drive there."
Ouyang Meihua touched her chin, "Drive there? That's not possible. In the village, the prices of melons are different for each family. The only ones sent to the provincial capital are my melons. It's not suitable for you to go. It will cause a big conflict."
"Otherwise, you wait by the national highway that crosses Ling City and Ling County. I will send you a cart every afternoon. There are about fifteen or sixteen carts of these high-quality melons, but they cost 19 cents a pound."
The person who bought the melon immediately responded, "Okay, that's it."
