Chapter 13 13 Are All Poor

Chapter 13 13. All destined to be poor

Now is the slack season for farming, and all the men and women in the village, in their thirties and fifties, who can work steadily, have been called over by Song Sancheng - time waits for no one, and now we have to clean up the fields, and in the spring we have to sow seeds in the fields.

Song Tan's plan was very clear -

The grass in the chestnut forest needs to be cleaned up, and those old chestnut trees need to be fertilized and trimmed. When the time comes, we will build racks for fungus under the trees.

The periphery should also be fenced off to prevent animals or people from making trouble.

It happened that some trees were cut down from the back mountain, and the trunks were divided into sections to plant fungus seeds, and the branches were used to build a shed for pigs to sleep in the wind and rain. We also need to prepare a few pig troughs and fence them with wire mesh.

In the field, we will plant astragalus in the next one or two months, and when the astragalus blooms, it will be almost time to plow the fields again and prepare to plant rice and vegetables.

Some seeds can be raised for seedlings after a while.

There are also local chickens and ducks to be found, and the time to hold the piglets must be arranged with the owner. With so many people, meals must be arranged every day...

Song Sancheng and Wu Lan are busy every day, and what about their daughter?

It's not that she doesn't work. The little girl is very strong, and she went to the mountain to carry tree trunks.

Everyone in the village praised her!

But Wu Lan felt sour when she heard it!

What tree trunks are you carrying, this silly child! You say that at the age of a flower, if you don't work in the office and come back to farm, what can you say? Where can you find the right boy for marriage in the future!

It's not that the daughter is not idle, but when she is free, she is looking up some information on the computer...Ulan went in and saw it once-

Wow! Now she is cramming at the last minute, watching some scientific planting explanation? !

This, this, this!

She gasped. If the money hadn't been spent, she wouldn't have to toss it anymore.

The couple counted the money at night, including labor, machines, strains, chickens, ducks, piglets, fertilizers...

60,000 yuan was invested, but it was just a rip.

After another calculation, the money could only last until the end of April, and at most they could harvest a field of astragalus.

There was still 60,000 yuan prepared by Wulan, but seeing that the child was unreliable, Wulan was reluctant to take the money now!

60,000 yuan, if nothing serious happened, the couple would have to save it for two years!

Song Sancheng and Wulan were so worried that their hair was about to turn white.

They thought that raising children was a debt. This girl had been obedient and sensible for 20 years, and now she had done something big, so worried!

But it was strange that the more worried they were, the better they slept at night. Song Sancheng, who used to snore loudly at night, was quiet now. At Wulan's age, it was good to sleep for five hours a night, but since her daughter came home, she went to bed at seven or eight o'clock and woke up at six o'clock.

This is really...

Wulan complained to Song Sancheng: "I'm a poor man. The more money I spend, the more tired I feel, but the more comfortable I feel!"

Song Sancheng also agreed: "That's right. Look at me bending over to work every day, and my back pain is gone!"

In the room, Song Tan gathered his spiritual energy and hid his achievements and fame.

On the contrary, the grandparents Song Youde and his wife, who were not far away, had been working with him these days. Now Song Youde was puffing on his pipe and felt very happy.

"It's still our Tan Tan who went to college and has the ability to come back to farm."

"We farmers, as long as there is food in the fields, we always have a way out."

It is known that Song Youde: a poor family of tenant farmers in a typical landlord's family.

In his eyes, there is nothing bigger than the fields.

Wang Lifen also had the same idea, but her perspective was different: "Farming is good, we can still do it, helping the children is better than sitting there and doing nothing?"

"Besides, raising children, you can't see them many times a year. If Tan Tan comes back to farm, there will be fewer people working in the fall if we hire someone, and the village will have a lot of popularity."

Isn't that right?

They are all this age. When they were young, they always felt that Qiao Qiao was the only male child in their youngest son's family.

It's okay if the son can do it, but if he really gets old and can't walk and has to take care of Qiao Qiao, what can he do?

Now that Tan Tan is back, their family can also rely on it. The siblings can still do more things, and Qiao Qiao can at least take care of her when she gets old.

Otherwise, if they don't go home for a long time, the blood relationship will also be consumed quickly.

However, as an old man who has experienced so many ups and downs over the years, Song Youde sees things more clearly than Song Sancheng:

"I think Tantan has really learned some skills. Although the fields are busy, she does so much work every day and still smiles. She must have a plan in her mind. Maybe, she can really grow something famous."

"That's right!" Wang Lifen also admitted: "She has been smart and sensible since she was a child. She will definitely not do anything that she is not sure of."

In recent years, the two have not been in good health. The children are not allowed to plant more land. There is only a vegetable garden at the door that can be tidied up.

It is free, but the old couple just can't get up the energy.

During the day, they doze off and can't sleep at night.

Every day, they look for some small things to do. Now, seeing that the large piece of land that has been divided is being tossed, if nothing else, their hearts are calm.

During the day, they do what they can. Song Youde goes to the field to help clean up the weeds, and Wang Lifen helps his daughter-in-law cook. They eat together, discuss together, and talk and laugh. It feels that she is closer to her son's family!

Song Youde was so happy that he couldn't help but make another arrangement:

"It's cold now, and the chickens don't lay many eggs. Doesn't Tantan want to raise chickens? Tell our old hens to sit on eggs tomorrow, so that they can hatch more chicks and save some money for the children."

"Nowadays, small native chickens are expensive and hard to find."

Wang Lifen also nodded:

"It just so happens that we eat more meat in winter, and I have saved up eggs. Let's pick them out later."

"And the ducks, there is a family selling ducklings. Their ducks don't get sick, grow strong, and are delicious. I'll go ask around tomorrow."

Song Youde frowned again: "Don't get too many. In the past few years, there have been closures here and bird flu and swine fever there. Be safe."

How could Wang Lifen not know?

"Don't worry about it. Our place is remote, but the feng shui is good. When have chickens, ducks, and geese ever gotten sick? Besides, it doesn't cost money to raise chicks. As long as they don't get sick, we can eat them if we can't sell them. It also saves us from buying them outside."

There are only four old hens at home. If they are all brooding, they can hatch a hundred chicks. When the time comes, we can put them in the fields on the mountain without worrying about them. How simple!

Song Youde thought about it and sighed: "It would be great if our eldest son and grandson wanted to come back and live in our old house. We can just give it to them."

Wang Lifen rolled her eyes: "It will be given to whoever stays in the village. No one wants that old house for 5,000 yuan. Your grandson has two or three houses in the city. How can he care about this?"

Song Youde also said embarrassedly: "After all, he is the eldest son and grandson of our Song family..."

Don't worry, there is nothing special in the family. We mainly farm and talk about family matters.

In addition, don't think that food with chemical fertilizers is not green food! Fertilizers and pesticides are different.

In addition: There will be more updates today.
