After Mrs. Xu's tailor shop opened, business was really good.
First of all, the clothes are fashionable and new in style, so many people come in to look at them, and there will always be a few that they like and place orders for.
Secondly, Sister-in-law Xu’s craftsmanship is getting better and better now. The stitches she makes for the same clothes are fine, there are less threads, and they are much more comfortable to wear than those bought in the mall.
A young female teacher originally just walked in to take a look, but she couldn't take her eyes away after seeing it. She bought the red gauze dress and pleated waisted short-sleeved shirt on the spot.
That's because I don't have enough money in my wallet, otherwise I would want to buy two more items.
Sister-in-law Xu was so happy that she smiled every day.
My mood is better, I have motivation again, the food at home has increased, and I have a little more interest in making love with my man in the evening. It is not like before when I was tired from working all day long and had to cope with it all at night.
Xu Zhinian was a little flattered, and then looked satisfied.
It’s only now that I’m getting married that I can truly appreciate the joy of it.
The relationship between husband and wife has been greatly improved as a result.
Xu Yin is happy to see this happen.
The good relationship between brother and sister-in-law means the success of her anti-cannon fodder campaign.
She accompanied her sister-in-law to run the tailor shop business, and also accompanied her to the wholesale market in the north of the city several times.
After my sister-in-law stopped being so timid about running to the north of the city alone, she also stocked up a large amount of goods in the system and replaced them with high-quality and low-priced local specialties from Tongcheng.
There are whitebait, white shrimps, June yellow lake crabs from the lake, sheep, ducks, geese and various eggs raised by the lake, as well as wool felts, cashmere threads and various fabrics.
Now that the farming season is about to begin, it's time for her to go home.
Sister-in-law Xu and her two children could not help but be reluctant to leave.
"Okay, little sister, I'm just going home. You can come back again after the holidays. You guys are making it seem like we are parting from each other." Xu Zhinian couldn't help complaining.
"Bah, bah, bah! Can you speak?" Sister-in-law Xu glared at him.
Xu Zhinian knew that he was in the wrong and touched his nose. His wife became more and more fierce.
Having said that, he couldn't even remember how his wife and younger sister got along before, but they were definitely not as sticky as they are now.
The leaders and comrades-in-arms envied his harmonious family. After his sister-in-law came, not only did he not have any conflicts with his sister-in-law, but he also helped his sister-in-law open a tailor shop. She helped purchase goods and make clothes when she was free. Her own sisters were not as good as her.
"Oh, it would be great if your sister stayed here." They all want to keep a match, but no one has a relative of marriageable age.
"Go! My sister is still going to college." Xu Zhinian spat at them, trying to save face!
No matter what, the daughter-in-law and the younger sister have a good relationship, and he is the one who benefits the most. He must be content as a human being.
Xu Zhinian carried the luggage packed by his wife on his shoulders and sent his little sister to the train station.
"The luggage is too heavy, so I'll check it in for you. Pay attention to safety on the road, take care of your backpack, and send me a telegram when you get home. Don't let your sister-in-law and I worry."
"knew."
…
Xujiacun has been very lively these days.
Through word of mouth, people in nearby villages basically know that someone in Xujia Village is raising fish in the rice fields this year.
At first, it was just a gimmick. I thought these people really had money and nothing to spend it on. They bought fish fry and raised them in rice fields. How big can they grow?
I didn’t expect that I was really nurtured by them.
"Guobang, this fish is almost a pound, isn't it?"
Xu Guobang's rice field is relatively close to the village road. Seeing that his fish have grown so big after only three months of farming, the villagers couldn't help but look envious.
"One pound and three taels." Xu Guobang picked up a big carp and showed it to the onlookers, "It's not the biggest. There is a grass carp even bigger than this."
"It's coming, it's coming!" Someone expressed the voice of everyone, "Guobang, your family is going to have a growing season this year. How many do you have?"
"Six hundred." Xu Dajiao laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows.
Her family drained the water to collect fish today, and the whole family came to the field, with their trouser legs rolled up high, and they all went to the drain to catch the fish.
"However, if I put down 600 fry, I estimate that I can harvest 90%. I guess they were not used to it when they were first raised, and a lot of them died."
"Ninety percent is quite a lot. If each fish weighs one kilogram on average, it's more than five hundred kilograms. How much is the price of fish now?"
"A few days ago, the June yellow in Hutang Village was sold for sixty-five cents per catty. The fish is about the same price, and maybe even eight cents and one cent more expensive."
Some villagers booed: "Oh, Bigfoot, your family can earn three to four hundred just from these fish."
Xu Dajiao had a smile on his face: "What nonsense are you talking about! Fish fry cost nothing? Besides, not all fish weigh a pound, there are also small ones, haven't you seen it?"
"It's not a small one, but overall it's quite profitable."
"No! It would have been better if we had raised him together!"
"I'm just saying this now, it's too late! I said at that time that Yin Ya has a smart mind and it's right to listen to her. Otherwise, would you be admitted to university? You all wouldn't listen to me..."
"Hey! Then why didn't you insist on it in the first place? Why did you back down when we said we wouldn't support it?"
The villagers were talking about it, and they all regretted not raising rice fish with Xu Guoshun's family.
"Speaking of Guoshun's family, his family doesn't seem to have a lot of food, only half of your family's."
Xu Jianjun walked over in the water: "More than half, I heard Yinyin mention that her family released a total of 268 fry of three types, but her fish are better than mine. I can see the biggest one.
More than two kilograms."
"Wow -" everyone exclaimed in unison, "It takes three months to raise more than two kilograms? How do you raise this? Hutang Village can't raise such a big fish in one year."
"Fish feed is very particular." Seeing someone handing him a cigarette, Xu Jianjun wiped his hands and took the flue, "Yinyin read it from the book. If you want to raise it later, I will tell you. If she didn't give it,
According to the formula, the fish can be raised to four or five taels in three months at most. Yinyin also said that the fish have a large space for movement, which means that the living environment is good and they are easy to raise. When I transplant the late rice seedlings later, I plan to separate them and put three fish per acre.
Four hundred, just changing the water is more troublesome, but it’s worth it.”
"Hey! Jianjun, do you want to raise fish for the next rice season?" Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this. Not only did they need to raise fish, but they seemed to need to raise a lot.
Xu Guobang has three sons and four grandsons, and his population is prosperous. He has eight or nine acres of paddy fields alone. If all of them were used to raise rice and fish...
Hiss! It’s hard to say what the benefits are!
Xu Jianjun smiled calmly: "Of course! What's the point of this? I plan to plant rice and raise rice fish every year, and raise them for two seasons a year. I don't believe it. I won't be able to earn money by working in the factory during the Chinese New Year.
money.”
He really has this idea.
Of course, this idea was also instilled in him by Xu Yin.
In the past, the reason why farmers felt that they had no future and so flocked to work in factories in the city was because they were poor and didn't have enough to eat.
But if you can both grow rice and raise fish, you will be satisfied with the rice and make money by raising fish, who would bother working in a factory?
Of course, he only dared to say this in his heart now, otherwise he would not be beaten by his parents. They spent money to send him to night school, but in the end he returned to the village to farm. Isn't this nonsense?
