Chapter 48 The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (48)

It wasnt until Father Xu led everyone back from work that Xus mother came back to her senses.

Ouch, I have to hide it.

She hunched over and went back to the house to hide the money.

Xu Yin couldn't help but laugh, turned around and greeted everyone: "Dad, uncle, aunt, Uncle Song, Uncle Wen, don't stand around. Wash your hands and sit down to eat. I also opened a bottle of wine. It's okay to drink some in the evening."

Daddy Xu watched helplessly as his daughter opened a bottle of the good wine brought by Tongcheng: "..."

The heart and liver are trembling and a little painful.

Xu Yin whispered to her father: "Dad, I got the balance of our watermelon back today, it's five hundred."

How many, how much? Father Xu almost dropped the teapot, his hands were shaking violently.

Five hundred, plus the deposit in advance, we sold two acres of watermelons for one thousand yuan. They also wanted the one acre of late-ripening melons, and they will still have five hundred yuan in the account.

Ouch

He was so happy that he no longer felt bad about a bottle of Laobaigan, and he invited everyone to sit down and eat.

Try my girls craftsmanship.

It looks good, Yin Yin is really capable.

Aunt Geng was particularly applauded. She really felt that her husbands niece was a capable person.

Not only is he good at reading books, but he also has business acumen.

Uncle Geng smiled cheerfully: "Yin Yin has become a great chef, and can make so many delicious dishes."

Uncle, you havent tasted it yet, so why do you think what I cook must be delicious?

Uncle Geng thought to himself: How can it not be delicious? There is so much meat!

Uncle Song and Uncle Wen are well-known rice transplanters in the village. Their family has a lot of labor and can plant more than ten acres of paddy fields in less than a day. They will then help other families in the village who are short of labor and earn some hard money.

After finishing the work, I would also have dinner at my employers house, but this was the first time I had such sumptuous dishes as Xus.

After returning home that day, they told their respective mothers-in-law:

"The Guoshun family is really different. We planted rice seedlings and invited us to have a meal. The food was better than some people's banquets. Guess what we ate today? Mutton! We may not be able to eat it during the Chinese New Year, but girl Yin actually bought it. In one pot, there are more pieces of meat than potatoes.

How can the wives of those two families not be envious after hearing this? She couldn't help but encourage the man: "How about we leave a few acres of mountain land to grow watermelons next year?"

They have already raised rice flower fish, but according to their observation, the most profitable thing for the Xu family should be watermelons.

I didnt see anyone driving a big truck to pull it. I paid a deposit of 500 for two acres of land. There may be money left in the future. This is more profitable than raising fish.

The two families secretly decided to follow Mr. Xu to grow watermelons next year.

But they also know that although every family in their village can grow watermelons, who is the best at growing watermelons is Father Xu.

After eating his melons, I no longer want to eat those grown by my own family.

But these days, anyone who has some skills is hiding it, and no one is so stupid as to teach it to others. Did you teach others to let yourself starve to death? So, the two families thought of something, chose an auspicious day to become a disciple, prepared a generous gift, and took their young son to the old Xu's house to become a disciple.

As a master, you will never fail to teach your disciples, right?

The two families arrived at Xu Yin's house almost at the same time. At the gate of the courtyard, you looked at me and I looked at you, and then smiled at each other.

Like-minded people! Fellow people!

I just dont know if Father Xu will agree to accept the children from their two families as apprentices.

Dad Xu is counting money with his wife in the house at the moment.

Although it is not the end of the year yet, judging from the current income, it can be called a bumper harvest.

The watermelon from two acres of land was sold for 1,000 yuan, which is a large amount.

The early rice from the four acres of paddy fields, except the millet from the rice-fish symbiosis, is because the grains of this acres of rice are large and plump and taste better than ordinary early rice.

So I didnt plan to take out even a pound of it, and kept it at home to eat slowly. By the way, I checked in two hundred kilograms with Tongchengs son.

The output of the remaining three acres was sold to the grain station, earning an income of 210 yuan.

In the end, there were more than 200 rice flower fish, which were sold for 157, with a total income of 1,367.

Four-digit annual income, Xus mother had never seen it before, never thought about it.

Besides, this is only the harvest in the first half of the year. There are still late rice, late-ripening watermelons, and late-autumn vegetables waiting for them to harvest!

Xu's mother smiled from ear to ear: "Old man, I said you were right to listen to your daughter. Otherwise, I would be tired and wouldn't be able to make so much money."

"Yes, yes, I will listen to my daughter from now on." Father Xu also grinned.

At this time, Xu Song and Xu Yaowen came to the door.

Xus mother quickly put the money into the locked wooden box her daughter had customized for her, hid it in the hole in the wall, and followed Father Xu out.

"What? You want me to be your teacher and learn how to grow watermelons?" Mr. Xu was a little confused after hearing the two families' intentions. "What's so good about growing melons?"

Xu Yin had guessed a little bit. Most likely, she saw how to make money by growing watermelon, and wanted to grow it with her father. But she was too embarrassed to come to ask for seeds, so she simply sent her son to become a disciple.

"Brother Guoshun, this boy in our family is not good at anything else. He can do some farm work quite easily. Let him do any heavy work in the future. There is no need to teach him specially. Let him stay with you and watch you. Just serve him however you want, and how much he can learn depends on his own talent."

"That's right, the same goes for our Tie Jun. We originally wanted him to go to night school with Jianjun, but this kid is not scholarly and doesn't want to go outside to learn a craft, so he just stays at home and farms. I finally understand. This kind of land is not all the same, and the quality of planting varies greatly. Let him start with you and learn as much as he can. He does not expect to get rich, but just makes a living, so that he can easily find a partner in the future..."

Daddy Xu shook his head sincerely: "I have nothing to teach you. Both of your families have grown watermelons. It's just what you have in the field. There is really no need to learn from the master."

"It's necessary, it's necessary." Xu Song and Xu Yaowen rushed to express their opinions, "Brother Guoshun, just accept these two boys. You see, your family has been in Tongcheng for many years and has not come back often. Yin Yatou is going there soon. Di Du is in college, and from now on you and your sister-in-law will be the only ones in the house. It will be tiring to be busy with so many things, so let them follow you."

Yes, yes, let them do any work. Multiple errand runners are fine.

Xu Yin felt moved when she heard this.

After she started school in September, she was the only two elders left in the family.

Four acres of paddy field and three acres of dry land don't seem like much. Other people's homes have more than ten or twenty acres, but there are still only two people. When farming is busy, hiring people or asking uncles and aunts to help is only temporary. Otherwise, let Dad takes on two apprentices?

After thinking for a while, she said carefully: "Dad, is there any idle dry land in our village that no one is planting? If so, I would like to contract it. Let's plant a few acres of watermelon, and then hire Brother Mancang and Brother Tiejun to come and help. When the melons are sold, I will settle the commission for my two brothers. What do you think?"

Daddy Xu was stunned for a moment, feeling that his daughter was a little distracted. After selling the watermelons on the three acres of land at a good price, he wanted to contract all the idle land in the village.
