Hearing what his father said, Cheng Yunping felt relieved.
On the contrary, it was his mother Li Xiaojuan who told him the truth: "Yunping, our five big cattle were sold for a total of 96,400 yuan, but 30,000 yuan has to be returned to your brother-in-law, and the remaining 60,000 yuan is for your father."
Use it to buy calves, buy feed, and continue to expand the scale of breeding. There won’t be much money left this year, but it will be fine next year.”
When their mother said that five big cattle were sold for 96,400 yuan, both Cheng Yunping and his wife Liu Yingying stared and were speechless.
When his father had been forcing him to raise cattle at home just now, Cheng Yunping didn't have a clear idea in his mind, but now he understands that his father really does it for his own good.
"Mom, can you really make so much money raising cattle?" Cheng Yunping found it incredible. He always felt that something was wrong.
Cheng Rengui said to him: "What are you thinking about? That's the money for selling the big cows, buying the calves, buying feed, buying forage, and the labor is not deducted."
"Besides, last year, a calf only cost 1,700 yuan. It was cheap at that time. Now the price of a calf has increased to 3,500 yuan. The eight calves we just bought cost more than 30,000 yuan. And then
Including the fodder and feed, the profit is not that high."
Once Cheng Rengui explained it like this, Cheng Yunping felt that everything was explained.
"Dad, how much did you sell them per catty? How many catties did each of the five big cattle weigh when they were sold?" Cheng Yunping asked his father.
He wanted to calculate a clearer account, and the most taboo was to do things that were confused.
"It's 13 yuan per catty. If you raise a cow for a year, it can be sold for more than 1,400 catties." Cheng Rengui said happily this time.
"Mom, do you have a calculator at home?" Cheng Yunping wrote down all these numbers on paper and wanted to use the multiplication formula. He found that his level was limited and he had almost forgotten the multiplication formula.
"I'll go look for it for you." Li Xiaojuan turned around to find the calculator.
As soon as she finished speaking, her grandson Dongdong ran and said, "Grandma, I know where it is. I'll get it."
When Li Xiaojuan saw her grandson looking for him, she stopped going to pick him up.
After a while, the little boy Cheng Tiandong ran back with a black calculator. He handed it to his father as if taking credit: "Dad, look at this calculator."
"My son is really awesome." Cheng Yunping also knew how to praise his son.
Liu Yingying held her son in her arms, kissed her from time to time, and asked her son what he wanted to eat. Then she opened her luggage bag and took out the snacks she bought from the city for her son to eat.
"It's so delicious!" Cheng Tiandong bit into a piece of sandwich biscuit, and gave the rest to his grandmother Li Xiaojuan: "Grandma, try it too, it's sweet and delicious."
"Grandma doesn't want to eat it, you can eat it yourself." Li Xiaojuan smiled and pushed it back, letting her grandson eat it by himself.
She thinks it's good for children to have this intention.
During this period of time, Cheng Yunping multiplied several numbers and calculated a result.
He screamed strangely and said: "Dad, if I go by the weight and price you mentioned, these eight cows can be sold for 150,000 yuan!"
"Even if you take away the money for buying cattle and feed, you can still earn half of it, right?" Cheng Yunping began to calculate in his mind.
The problem is that in addition to the eight calves his dad just bought, there are also six calves that are obviously too big in their cattle pen. According to the price and weight, those six calves can be sold for more than 110,000.
These 14 cows can be sold for more than 260,000 yuan.
"Dear me, what kind of job are you doing?" Cheng Yunping suddenly lost interest in going to work outside.
He felt that he had to work hard and have to be managed by others. After working for a year and having no money left in the end, he might as well raise cattle at home.
And it’s quiet.
His wife Liu Yingying is also settling the account at the moment.
According to the numbers calculated by Cheng Yunping, raising more cattle is obviously more profitable.
"Dad, how much extra money can our family have?" Cheng Yunping asked his father.
Cheng Rengui looked at his son expressionlessly: "What do you want to do?"
Cheng Yunping quickly said: "Dad, I'm thinking if we take out the remaining money and buy more calves, wouldn't we make more money this way?"
This idea was very pertinent, and Cheng Rengui agreed with it. He asked his son: "How much money have you saved during the year you worked outside?"
Cheng Yunping stopped talking.
The couple had a good idea when they went out. They worked outside together and saved more money.
But in fact, they are not just moonlight, they are almost there. This time they came back from outside and didn't even have a deposit of 10,000 yuan in their hands.
At this moment, he was totally embarrassed to tell his father.
Cheng Rengui understood what was going on when he saw his son hesitating.
He was angry in his heart, but he was still his son after all. He said: "The family still has less than 30,000 yuan left, but this money is used to buy feed and pasture. We must not buy calves anymore. If
If you buy them all into calves, you will raise more, but how will you pay for the food they eat?"
"Dad, didn't you say you still have 30,000 yuan to pay back to my brother-in-law..."
Before he finished his sentence, Cheng Rengui glared: "You bastard, let me tell you, you can't touch a penny of that money. When your sister and brother-in-law come during the New Year, you will return it to them."
"Yes, Yun Ping, your dad is buying a calf for the National Day. Our family doesn't have any extra money, so your brother-in-law should give us 20,000 yuan in advance."
"Some time ago, your brother-in-law came over to worry that I might not have spent anything, so he left another 10,000 yuan for us. If we are in trouble, someone will help us. We are relieved, but we have to admit the debt." Li Xiaojuan also said.
Cheng Yunping stopped talking.
But Cheng Yunping did not give up. He was really stimulated by the 96,400 yuan his father earned from selling five cows. He was thinking about where to get money to raise more cows.
But there is no solution to this matter for a while, and tomorrow is the Spring Festival, so I have to finish the New Year matters first.
But what Cheng Yunping didn't expect was that less than two hours after the couple came back, his sister, brother-in-law, and niece all came.
"Dad, Mom, happy New Year!" Cheng Xiaolin held her daughter's cute hand and sent her blessings as soon as she came in.
She was still holding something in her hand and shouted to her father, Cheng Rengui, to take it.
Turning around, she was surprised to see her sister-in-law Liu Yingying coming out of the house: "Yingying, when did you come back?"
"Sister, Yunping and I just arrived home today, a little earlier than you." Liu Yingying said.
She only saw her eldest sister but not her brother-in-law. Liu Yingying asked: "Sister, is my brother-in-law not here?"
"He's getting something outside!" Cheng Xiaolin pointed outside and said.
When Liu Yingying heard this, she shouted loudly: "Yunping, why are you hiding in the house? Hurry up and get something for our brother-in-law."
Cheng Rengui went out first.
He saw his son-in-law Cao Shujie taking a bag from the car to the ground. He saw that the outside of the bag was covered in blood. Without asking, he knew that it must be meat that had just been killed.
"Shujie, why are you here again at this time? Just come together after the new year." Cheng Rengui said to him.
But Cao Shujie said with a smile: "Dad, I just killed a cow two days ago. I was too busy to get out the past two days. I just happened to take advantage of my free time today to bring it to you."
"Oh, a cow costs more than 20,000 yuan, why do you kill it yourself and eat it?" Cheng Rengui felt very distressed when he heard what his son-in-law said.
How much more beef does he think the family can eat?
Sell it for money, and then go to the market to buy some beef to eat, spending a thousand dollars a day.
"Haha, dad, it's different. We raise our own cows and know what to feed them with, so we can eat with confidence." Cao Shujie said.
He said: "Besides, I sold 135 cows in one batch, which is not enough to keep this one cow."
"In addition to beef, I also got you some beef ribs. There is a lot of meat on the bones. You can cook them and eat them during the Chinese New Year." Cao Shujie made the arrangement clearly.
Cheng Yunping also ran out of home at this time.
Seeing his brother-in-law and his father standing behind a new Buick, which was not the Buick that his brother-in-law used to drive, he was puzzled: "Brother-in-law, have you changed your car?"
"I haven't changed it yet. I still have that car at home. When we get busy, your sister and I drive one each," Cao Shujie said.
"Fuck!" Cheng Yunping felt like he had been hit hard.
They went out after the Spring Festival last year, and did not see Cao Shujie and the others again during this period. Naturally, they did not know that their sister and brother-in-law had bought a new car.
I don't know the current situation of his sister and brother-in-law.
Just when he was about to ask, his father Cheng Rengui shouted to him: "Yunping, what are you doing so stupidly? Come over quickly and help your brother-in-law get something."
Cheng Yunping walked to his brother-in-law and father and took a look in the trunk. Only then did he realize that his sister and brother-in-law had come to get a lot of new year's goods.
"Yunping, this bag contains beef bones. I just took them out of the freezer before I came here. They were defrosted in the car and water is dripping down. Don't stick them on your pants."
"Also, these apples were brought from Changji, Xinjiang. I left some for us to eat ourselves."
Cheng Yunping looked at it with wide eyes. Three boxes of apples were stacked together. How many apples did his brother-in-law buy from Xinjiang Changji?
You can tell it's far enough just by listening to the place.
When I called his mother at the end of last year, I heard his mother talk about her brother-in-law and sister taking his mother on a trip. It seemed that they went to Xinjiang at that time?
"Yunping, move quickly. I'll lock the car after moving." Cao Shujie said.
Even Li Xiaojuan came out to take a look and found that her son-in-law had brought so many things, and she talked about it a lot.
"Mom, it's okay. Isn't this the Chinese New Year? I'll bring you something to save you the trouble of buying it again."
4 cartons of cigarettes, 3 boxes of tea, 8 boxes of wine, 8 boxes of pure milk, 6 gift boxes, and a pig hind leg, plus beef and steak in the bag.
He also pointed to two boxes of milk and two boxes of wine and said: "My mother asked me to bring these to you. She said she was busy during the New Year and she couldn't make it. She asked me to bring the things and give them to you."
Say hello."
"Ouch, sister, what are you doing?"
"Shujie, you have taken too many things. Don't move them down. Take them back again."
"That won't work, bring them all." Cao Shujie directed his brother-in-law: "Yun Ping, work more efficiently and move quickly." Cao Shujie said.
Cheng Yunping was thinking in his mind that every one of the son-in-laws in Chengjiapo gave out New Year's gifts, but probably not as much as his brother-in-law gave.
After a while, I finally moved all the things home.
Mengmeng is leaning on the stove to warm herself up.
There was no radiator in the house, and Cheng Xiaolin told her mother twice, but Li Xiaojuan still worried about money.
"Mom, you must install a heater next year. It won't cost you much more." Cheng Xiaolin said.
"Sister, you don't need to tell me, I will install it next year." Cheng Yunping took over.
Cao Shujie looked at his brother-in-law in surprise, and then heard Cheng Yunping explain his thoughts again.
Only then did Cao Shujie find out that his brother-in-law had no plans to go out after the Chinese New Year, so he was raising cattle at home with his father.
"Come, tell me what you think." Cao Shujie said.
Cheng Yunping knew that his brother-in-law was capable and was not afraid of being embarrassed, so he told him his thoughts.
After listening, Cao Shujie pondered for a while and said, "So you have two difficulties now, not enough money and not enough space?"
"Brother-in-law, you are absolutely right. But the place is easy to find and easy to get." Cheng Yunping had some hesitation on his face, and he said: "It's just money... I just discussed with Yingying and if it didn't work, we would use a credit card. Both of our cards have
There is also a limit of 40,000 yuan, and as long as it circulates normally, repaying the money is not a problem."
Cao Shujie asked him: "What if the market for cattle is not good, or the cattle get sick?"
"Well!"
Cheng Yunping was like a trumpet that was suddenly blocked. He mustered all his strength and his face turned red from suppressing it.
Cao Shujie smiled: "Yunping, you haven't thought about it, right?"
Cheng Yunping nodded and said honestly: "Brother-in-law, to be honest, I really didn't think about this, but my dad has raised him for a year and he has experience."
He thought this was okay, but Cao Shujie shook his head: "That's not okay. Raising a few cows on a small scale and on a large scale are two different things. I think your idea is a good one, but don't be anxious at the beginning and follow our dad.
A year and a half later, when you are familiar with it, you can take care of it more!"
"Otherwise, regardless of how you got your money, if something unexpected happens, you won't be able to bear it at all. Not only will you lose everything, but you will also be in debt, and you will be tired of everything you do." Cao Shujie said.
Seeing that his brother-in-law was silent and didn't know what he was thinking, Cao Shujie didn't want to know, so he said: "Also, regarding the issue of money, I will give you two suggestions."
Cheng Yunping listened more seriously.
Then I heard my brother-in-law say: "How much money do you need? You can ask me or your sister."
"The second way is, you just mentioned using a credit card. I don't recommend it. You can go to the Yiling Rural Commercial Bank in the town to apply for an 'interest-free loan to help the economic development of rural areas and farmers.' The money will only be repaid with very little interest within three years.
The principal will be paid off in one lump sum after three years, and the interest for the past three years will be refunded to you."
"Hey, brother-in-law, okay." Cheng Yunping didn't expect such a loan.
He really felt that he was ignorant and didn't know many things.
The original impulse in my heart gradually cooled down.
Listen to his brother-in-law and learn the breeding techniques first.
After eating here at noon, Li Xiaojuan muttered to them when they left in the afternoon: "Shujie, you guys came in too hasty, and I didn't prepare any money in advance. When you come after the new year, I will give you the 30,000 yuan."
The money will be returned to you."
"Mom, I'm not short of money, you and my dad can just take the flowers." Cao Shujie said.
But Li Xiaojuan was determined not to spend the money.
