121, Educated Youth 24
Xu Xiangqian looked at Ji Lan, and the more he looked at her, the more unfamiliar she felt. How could Ji Lan look like the way she did when they were dating? This was something he couldn't understand. Ji Lan obviously wanted to live a rich life. From her daily words and deeds, we could see how much she looked down on farmers and how much she yearned for life in the big city.
But why would such a Ji Lan fall for him? He was touched by Ji Lan's initiative at the time. It was their first time dating, and he was excited. He didn't think too much, and he didn't take his mother's words to heart. He was biased towards Ji Lan. But now his feelings for Ji Lan are gone. When he looked at Ji Lan again, he remembered that they had been engaged since childhood, but Ji Lan had ignored him for more than ten years. She would turn her head away when she saw their family. Why did she suddenly take the initiative to marry him? He was a real farmer. Isn't he the person Ji Lan looked down on the most?
Even if Ji Lan's attentiveness to Zou Wenxian didn't get a response, she didn't have to marry him, right? The two of them had a verbal engagement. If Ji Lan wanted to break off the engagement, it would not affect her reputation. Why did Ji Lan marry him? Now he has 20 acres of land, and he thinks this is the foundation of his livelihood. But Ji Lan insisted that he open a chicken farm? He doesn't know how to raise chickens, and he doesn't want to commit crimes to sell chickens on the black market. Why does he open a chicken farm? What if he loses money, the two of them will starve?
Ji Lan was a little uncomfortable with Xu Xiangqian's look, and lowered her eyes and said: "Why do you look at me like this? Are you afraid of being caught? Don't be afraid, I specifically inquired about it, and free trade will be allowed soon. By then, the chickens in our chicken farm can be sold legitimately, and no one will arrest you."
"Who did you ask in the village every day?"
"I... Why are you asking so many questions? Can I lie to you? I just found out, and the news is true. Such big news must not be leaked. I can't say who told me, and you remember not to let others know. Xiangqian, Now we raise chickens, and when we can trade freely, no one else will know. We will be the first to sell them, and we will definitely make a lot of money. When we have this first pot of gold, we will rent a forest to plant fruit trees. Don’t you like to grow things? Planting fruit trees and selling fruits will definitely work. "
Xu Xiangqian said helplessly: "Growing crops is different from growing fruit trees. I don’t know how to do it, and I don’t know how to raise chickens. I have never touched it. How can you teach me how to open a chicken farm? What if all the chickens die or get sick? Besides, even if your news is true, with free trade, where can we sell so many chickens?"
How did Ji Lan know where to sell them? She was a little impatient. In her previous life, Xu Xiangqian had clearly opened a chicken farm and rented a fruit forest. Now that she had gotten rid of all the burdens in the family, why was Xu Xiangqian still nagging and unwilling to do it? In his previous life, Xu Xiangqian was able to get rich by relying on the chicken farm, which showed that he knew how to raise chickens, and sales were not a problem at all. As long as the chicken farm was opened, he would become rich. Could it be that Xu Xiangqian was thinking about divorcing her and was unwilling to do it? Do you want to dump her and do it again, afraid that she will take advantage of you?
Ji Lan's face looked ugly, and she frowned and said, "I worked hard to find such good news to share with you. Don't you want to seize the opportunity to make our family's life better? I don't care. Even if you don't do it for me, you have to do it for our future children. We can't let the children dig in the soil for food. Now we have the opportunity to make money and move to the big city."
"Big city? Those educated youths in the educated youth point are all from big cities. They grew up in the city and came to our village anyway?"
"Maybe the policy will change in the future? The country needs talents, and it is impossible to always send educated youth to the countryside." Ji Lan couldn't explain the future policy to him, and she could only say this at most.
However, in Xu Xiangqian's view, what Ji Lan said was inexplicable. It was all her own speculation, and there was no basis at all. If you ask anyone, no one would be as convinced as Ji Lan about a vague thing. Still moving to the city? He doesn't know anything except farming. What should he do in the city? Those who want urban hukou must have a job, otherwise the food they get from urban hukou is not as much as that of the country people. Isn't it crazy to go to the city without a job?
The two people couldn't make sense no matter what they said, and they couldn't understand each other's ideas at all. This is inevitable. After all, Ji Lan knows the future development, but Xu Xiangqian doesn't know. For people now, those things in the future are simply a pipe dream, and it is impossible to think about them. What's more, Xu Xiangqian has said many times that he can only farm, but Ji Lan just said that he believes he can do business well.
He was puzzled. He didn't even know that he could do business. Where did Ji Lan get the confidence? He was a dumb talker. The most words he said since he was a child were probably to talk about these things with Ji Lan. Who could he sell chickens to like this?
The two parted unhappily, and Ji Lan got up and went back to her parents' home. Xu Xiangqian breathed a sigh of relief and went to the yard to repair farm tools. Liu Shuying came out of the house, looked outside, frowned and said, "What's wrong? Why did I hear you two quarreling again? Xiang Qian, if it's nothing serious, just live a good life and forget about the past. Otherwise, how can you live like this all day long? Don't always think about me. You see, I've gained weight now, and nothing is going well for me. If you can live a good life and not let me worry, that's the greatest filial piety. Don't be so stubborn."
Xu Qianqian wiped his face and said helplessly: "Mom, I didn't argue with her. She asked me to open a chicken farm, so we just had a few words. Not only the chicken farm, she also asked me to build a forest to plant fruit trees. " He paused and didn't say anything about Ji Lan's inquiry. He just said, "Isn't she going to give the land to someone? I guess she can sell whatever she wants in the future. She wants me to open a chicken farm as soon as possible. When the policy changes, you can sell it. Even if the policy doesn’t change, you can still exchange things with others in the village.”
He has now learned some ways to deal with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Unlike before, he didn't say anything. It didn't make Liu Shuying feel that Ji Lan was teasing Xu Qianqian to speculate. He just felt that she was too arrogant, "What's the business of opening a chicken farm? You both have nothing to do with it." I have never raised chickens, will I know how to raise them? Even if I have raised chickens for many years, I don’t dare to raise so many chickens at once. If I want to change things, it will be enough to raise ten or eight. In case the policy does not change, I will raise more chickens. What should I do if I can’t replace it?”
After saying that, she frowned again and sighed, "Forget it, I don't care about you two. If you want to raise them, you can raise them. But raising chickens also requires capital. You two don't have much money, and you can't raise them for too long. "More. If she really persists, just give it a try and it will be a good thing. Even if it fails, it will make her give up and stop worrying about these things all day long."
Xu Qianqian lowered his head and nodded. Ever since the family separation, he had always felt sorry for Liu Shuying and his younger brothers and sisters. It's just that the family has finally calmed down and is no longer noisy. He can't find any way to improve the relationship, so he can only live like this for the time being, but he feels extremely uncomfortable. Obviously they are his closest relatives and have been indistinguishable from childhood to adulthood. Now Ji Lan has forced him to draw a line between him and them. He is on Ji Lan's side, but his heart is so empty. It's really I feel that the future is uncertain and I have no energy.
Ji Lan came back in the evening with a smile. When he entered the house, he took out a hundred yuan and showed it to Xu Xiangqian. "Qianqian, I borrowed this from my parents. Now we have the capital to raise chickens! It's just a slack time for us. Hurry up and collect the chicks. It’s getting cold. Do you think we can raise them properly?”
Xu Xiangqian looked at the ten Zhangs and frowned, "Borrow a hundred yuan to raise chickens? What's the point of paying back?"
Ji Lan was not happy to hear this and said unhappily: "Why don't you pay the compensation back to the boss? Can you be a little tougher than a man? I had a quarrel with my sister-in-law today in order to get money from my parents' family. Who? Isn’t it all about you? Are you afraid of this or that? "
Xu Xiangqian didn't understand her theory. What he did with her was all for him? If he doesn't want to raise chickens, why force him to raise them? This is basically an order to him, treating him as a puppet, giving each instruction one action. If he doesn't agree, she can talk about it every day until he can't stand the compromise anymore. This is all to make money for her to move to the city as she wants, and then she says it's all for him.
Xu Xiangqian didn't want to argue with her anymore. Seeing that she had planned everything, he simply nodded and agreed, "Okay, tomorrow I'll ask our mother how she raised the chickens, and then I'll find someone to ask about the chickens."
"Ask our mother?" Ji Lan's face changed and she said, "Forget it, if the second son's family says again that we asked our mother to help and took advantage of her, I still can't explain it. I'll go back and ask me tomorrow. Mom, don’t worry, my parents love me the most and will definitely be willing to help me. My sister-in-law doesn’t have to be afraid. She doesn’t dare to say anything because of my mother’s pressure.”
Xu Xiangqian was very happy after hearing this, "Then you are really powerful. In your mother's family, you suppress your sister-in-law, and in your husband's family, you suppress your sister-in-law and sister-in-law. There is no one more powerful than you. You can do whatever you want, who am I worried about? There’s no need to worry about you, you’re someone who can even run away from your mother-in-law.”
"You! Why do you say that to me? Isn't this just for this family?"
Xu Qianqian turned over and slept with his back to her. He didn't respond to anything she said, like a wooden person. He didn't like to quarrel, and the sarcasm he just said to her was suppressed by her these days. After saying it, he felt that it was quite boring. Ji Lan could reply ten sentences to her, and she kept saying that it was for him and for this family, so he might as well Shut up, at least there will be peace without any quarrel.
Ji Lan is also angry with Xu Xiangqian now, but she thinks that her family will be prosperous soon, and she will not have to do anything at all. Just like the wife of Xu Xiangqian she saw in her previous life, she puts on makeup, wears beautiful clothes, and beautiful jewelry every day, and goes shopping. Shopping, playing cards, leisurely. Even if Xu Xiangqian doesn't love her as much as he loves his wife, it doesn't matter. As long as she has money, doesn't have to work, and doesn't have a mother-in-law to teach her, it's enough. Such a good life is what she dreamed of in her previous life, and now it's about to come true. She is really You can wake up laughing even in your dreams!
The next day Ji Lan took Xu Qianqian to Ji's house to learn how to raise chickens. Then she begged her mother Li Xia for a long time to let Li Xia take over the raising of chickens. It's not like they know how to choose. It's much easier to have her mother help.
After they left, Ji Dawei sighed and said to Li Xia: "The married daughter threw water and gave Lan Lan 100 yuan this time, but her sister-in-law found out. After all, we are living with the Patriot Party. Help After this time, don’t worry about Lan Lan like this.”
Li Xia's face looked a little ugly, "You know it, you know it. The money I took belongs to both of us, so it can't be used by my daughter? Besides, you also know that Lan Lan and his wife don't know how to raise chickens, and her mother-in-law won't help. If I don't Help her, what can she do?"
Ji Dawei said angrily: "Look at what you said, oh, the money belongs to both of us, can you just give it to your daughter? The mother-in-law gave Xu Xiaona some delicious food, why can't your daughter tolerate her? Dongzi made money in the county to marry a wife, and your daughter still thinks that the money should be handed over to her family to give her half. When she comes to our house, your daughter, the sister-in-law, can spend our money as she pleases, without having to worry about her sister-in-law? She is still married as a sister-in-law. Why do you teach your daughter to take all the good things? If you continue like this, you can wait for your daughter-in-law to make trouble."
"She dares!" Li Xia heard Ji Lan say many times that her sister-in-law had opinions about her. She didn't pay attention to it before, but now she sees that she is not tolerant at all? The difference between a daughter-in-law and a daughter is the difference between an outsider and a relative. You can't let the daughter-in-law suppress the daughter!
