Chapter 14 A Year's Covenant
Bai Ling and Lin Tian looked at each other quickly and spoke for Lin Tian.
"Uncle, aunt, what Lin Tian said has a point. Peanuts like yours can make a lot of money. Twenty yuan a catty. If you sell them all, the money will be huge. This is comparable to working in the city.
The income is much more.
You don’t know that the wages for college graduates nowadays are not high when they go out to find jobs. Lin Tian also has his own thoughts and wants to come back and be filial to you two elders."
Lin Guoming forced a smile.
"That's what I say, but it's hard to say how good the harvest will be. It may be good this year, but it may not be good next year. It all depends on the weather and the environment. Even if you contract a fish pond, there are still many uncertain factors in the fish pond. If you are farming and raising fish, etc.
If it were so easy to make money, there would already be many rich people in our Linjia Village.
Even if the peanuts sold this time are worth a lot of money, if they are sold out, it will take several months for the next sale, and the money will not be available.
I have been a cadre in the village for so many years, and I have seen too much."
Listening to Lin Guoming's worried words, Lin Tian was full of confidence, patted his chest and spoke loudly.
"Dad, don't worry! I will find ways to make more money. Peanuts is just the beginning. You have to believe me. When have I ever let you down?"
Lin Guoming shook his head and smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer Lin Tian's words.
He felt that his long-term hope was shattered by Lin Tian at this moment.
His greatest hope in this life rests on his son.
He felt that Lin Tian finally got into college and should go out to work outside after graduation. It was impossible for him to be trapped in the countryside and spend his whole life doing nothing.
What parent doesn’t want their child to succeed?
Wang Cuijuan saw that the atmosphere on the court was a bit solemn and tried to smooth things over. She was very soft-hearted and could not bear to see her son and her husband in conflict.
"The child's father, Xiao Tian has not recovered for a long time, so it's okay to let him rest at home for a while. After a while, he will recover his health. If he has ideas, it won't be too late to look for a job outside."
Lin Guoming sighed, put down his chopsticks, stood up, turned and left, leaving behind a word.
"I will contact you about contracting the swamp. If you can't make any money this year, just go to the city and find a job."
Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his father relented.
After having a portable space, he knew that his ideas that others seemed unrealistic would not be empty.
If his father gives him a year, he will definitely convince his father and make his father look at him differently.
After finishing the meal, Wang Cuijuan put away the dishes and chopsticks. Bai Ling went to help, but she sent her away.
Bai Ling came to the yard and found Lintian under the tree. He was preparing food for Xiaobao. He slowly broke the fish bones into pieces and mixed the rice and vegetable juice for him to eat.
Xiaobao ate happily, and it was the first time that he and Lin Tian got along so harmoniously.
Bai Ling watched quietly as he finished feeding Xiaobao, then he went to the lounge chair under the tree and lay down to look at the sky.
"Why did you make this decision so suddenly? Didn't you agree to go to the city to find a job? Didn't you already have a company you were interested in?"
Lin Tian said calmly: "Don't mention it, that company rejected my resume more than a month ago. The plan to go home to farm is very sudden, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."
Bai Ling said quietly: "If you have a comprehensive plan and plan to show off your talents at home, I will support you unconditionally.
I just hope that you don’t get discouraged because of setbacks outside and hide in your own safe shell like a turtle.”
Lin Tian tilted his head and glanced at Bai Ling.
He suddenly found that the way Bai Ling thought about things for him was very cute.
Moreover, looking up at Bai Ling's left face from the angle where he was lying down, he found that she had a different kind of beauty, which was a feeling he had never experienced in so many years before.
He didn't seem to have looked at Bai Ling seriously.
This thought flashed across his mind, and he quickly retracted his thoughts.
What are you thinking! Bai Ling is his good friend. Good friends can't be girlfriends. If they break up, they won't even be friends.
His mental activities were interrupted by Bai Ling's words.
"When I was pulling peanuts in the morning, I heard your parents say that they borrowed 200,000 yuan in loan sharks from Master Daokong who treated you. I heard that they will pay back the loan sharks in one month."
Lintian suddenly stood up from the recliner.
He didn't know about this.
It was not surprising that he owed money, but what surprised him was that his parents dared to borrow money from loan sharks, and they were defrauded by scammers like Master Daokong!
The amount is not small, 200,000, Master Daokong really dares to cheat!
Lin Tian gritted his teeth. If Master Daokong was in front of him, he really wanted to kill him!
He originally thought that by selling the peanuts this time, he could pay off the hospital's debt, and then pay off other debts slowly.
However, he was caught off guard when he suddenly had to repay a high-interest loan.
There is no way the loan sharking could have kept him delayed for so long. The interest compounded was like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.
Bai Ling looked at Lin Tian's appearance with a little heartache in his eyes.
"If it doesn't work, I'll find a way for you."
"No, you've helped our family too much these days. If you continue to help, I'm afraid your parents won't let you go home. If you don't have a home to go back to, won't you have to stay at our house? Our family can't
I don’t have any extra money to feed one more mouth.”
Bai Ling smiled as Lin Tian quickly recovered and acted like a fool.
She knew that Lin Tian was an ambitious man, and she had lent him money before when he was unconscious and unaware.
If he knew about it, he would definitely not agree to ask for her money.
"Okay, anyway, if you need any help from me, please speak up as much as possible."
Lin Tian flashed a pair of brilliant white teeth at Bai Ling.
"I won't be polite, I will always rely on you."
After taking a break at noon, they set out to work in the fields when the sun was less sunny.
The peanuts are almost done in the morning, this time the main thing is to pick the peanuts.
They got two rectangular iron cages, which were welded with iron bars. They threw the peanuts directly onto the iron cages. When they smashed them, the peanuts would slide diagonally along the iron cages into the bags, and they could be packed directly.
Already.
The remaining peanuts that cannot be shaken off are picked by hand. This ensures that they can pick the peanuts as quickly as possible without damaging the peanuts.
Throwing peanuts requires strength. Two men, Lin Tian and Lin Guoming, each throw the peanuts in an iron cage. Wang Cuijuan, Bai Ling and Lin Xiaoguo are assisting them. They pick the peanuts by hand and pack them.
Lin Xiaoguo moved a small stool and sat in the field, picking peanuts and eating them while humming children's songs, feeling extremely happy.
Xiaobao followed them out and ran around in the peanut field, looking very happy.
They worked very quickly, and Lin Tian was the main force. He worked two or three times faster than Lin Guoming, which made Lin Guoming sigh and even said that he was old.
In less than two hours, they had the peanuts bagged.
