Chapter 190 Dig a pond, get the keys to the new house!
The three of them were not in high spirits, especially the eldest uncle, who felt very uncomfortable. She couldn't help but feel a little angry at the Zhang family's daughter-in-law. Her own daughter was just a gossip among the villagers, so she really made such a hasty decision.
No matter what, we have to raise the child for two years, so that the child can mature and get married.
People in the village are just boring and love to gossip. Look at other people's jokes. Isn't life just a scene where you laugh at me and I laugh at you? It really is!
Her daughter's life and gossip, she would rather walk through the whole village with a big knife and be so stubborn that others dare not say anything anymore, but she can't... Grandma Pan is really...
That's all, it's not their fault, and they have too many things to do at home, so they are too lazy to take care of it. She was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but feel glad that Boss Song didn't follow him back.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Grandma Song and Aunt Three and whispered.
"Mother-in-law, from the third child's family, you have to help me with one thing. Don't tell my boss about this matter. He is young now and is prone to getting angry. If he thinks that he has caused Zhang Yi to go on a blind date, I'm afraid that he will act immaturely.
decision!"
He and Zhang Yi are really not suitable for each other. She is not someone who dislikes poverty and loves wealth, nor is she someone who values well-matched families. The main thing is that they are really inappropriate.
As someone who has experienced this, she has very clear eyes.
Third Aunt and Grandma Song quickly nodded in agreement, and the three of them tidied up for a while before going back to the house to sleep.
Early on Saturday morning, everyone in the Old Song family got up and put on the clothes, pants and water boots they wore for work. They put hoes, poles, baskets, flat hoes, big hammers and other tools by the wall of the gate and prepared them.
After breakfast just after dawn, all the men from the village who Song's Third Uncle Song Jiaguo had promised to help arrived, twelve in total, and a few old men who hadn't called out that they had heard the news and came to help, plus a few from his own family.
There are almost twenty brothers.
Because there were only tens of thousands of residents in the town at the beginning, Song Jiaguo did not plan to make the stall too big. Based on his previous experience of raising fish in small ponds, a pond with one acre of land can raise about 1,000 kilograms of fish.
Including planting lotus roots, even if there is less space, about 500-800 kilograms, plus what can be used from my own farm share, it is only a little more than one acre, which is enough for now.
The men in the village work quickly and have great strength. With the help of their families, the young men can also help during the holidays. On two days on the weekend, about 30 people can work at the same time.
It is estimated that one person can dig 0.5 cubic meters of soil per hour for a pond with a depth of two meters. There are 12 men who dig seriously. There are four men in my family, and there are almost 20 people digging. However, the middle-aged and elderly people dig slower.
Counting 2 people, that's 18 people.
But someone still needs to move the soil, and there are other people at home to help, so it can be counted as 12 people digging, which is 48 square meters of soil a day, which is calculated based on eight hours of working time.
There are six or seven half-year-olds helping out on the weekends. On average, 50 cubic meters of soil can be dug every day. One acre of land is equivalent to approximately 1,334 cubic meters of soil, and the digging takes 26-27 days.
The total area is a little more than one acre, so it can be said that it takes about a month to dig this large pond.
Lotus roots are suitable for planting in April, and now in early March, the time is just right!
The group of people had breakfast at home. The salary was 3 yuan a day, which only included lunch. Digging a pond cost about 1,500 yuan. Of course, the Song family did not have that much money. Song Zhizhi still had more than 2,000 yuan left from the money Song Zhizhi had given Grandma Song to lend to others.
, just right for borrowing and using.
The initial investment in aquaculture is enough. Why not lend it to others and pay it back after making money?
Grandma Song and Grandpa Song also hesitated for a long time before agreeing. They were planning to go home this week to tell Song Zhizhi, but Song Zhizhi didn't come back... Grandma Song could only wait until she got to town to tell her.
At half past seven, everyone set off to the foot of the mountain behind the house to start working. The scene was particularly spectacular.
On the other side, Song Zhizhi and Boss Song in the town also woke up and got up to wash up.
Boss Song stopped Zhou Xiuxiu from making breakfast and took the spatula himself, "Auntie, you go and have a rest. We have agreed to take care of you. Don't worry, I can cook!"
The aunt had to give up and go wash up first. When she finished washing up, Mr. Song was putting the noodles in the pot, and three noodle bowls were already placed on the stove, with a lump of lard the size of half a thumb in each bowl.
A pinch of chopped green onion, a pinch of minced garlic, shredded ginger, less soy sauce, and salt.
When the water for cooking noodles boils, use an iron ladle to scoop out the hot noodle soup and pour it down. The lard melts and is mixed with other seasonings. The aroma comes out and Song Zhizhi and Zhou Xiuxiu's stomachs growl.
"Sit down, I'll bring it over right away. It'll be ready in one minute. Auntie, do you want some omelette? I can spread out a few! I know you like to eat spicy noodles or spicy food, but you are sick, so I specially
I made clear soup, it’s okay!”
Boss Song was smiling and chattering on the side, looking extraordinarily tall, warm and handsome in the rising sunshine.
"It's all up to you!" The aunt nodded. She was not too hot-tempered, but she also knew how to behave appropriately.
Then he took Song Zhizhi to sit down at the dining table. Sure enough, a minute later, a bowl of clear noodle soup with five or six green vegetable leaves floating in the air and covered with a round golden fried egg arrived on the table.
Auntie only took one bite and her eyes lit up!
This is too delicious!
"How many cooking skills do you have for this kid? Your cooking skills are much better than mine. Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed. That's great. Zhizhi, do you know how to cook and do well at it?"
?”
The aunt kept praising her, and Song Zhizhi felt ashamed. She could do it, but the current Song Zhizhi really couldn't do it, so she chuckled and avoided her aunt's eyes, "Everyone can do it except me! But I'm not sure because I don't have a stove.
Gao, I won’t let you learn!”
"I know, I just asked other people!" The aunt also laughed. She was raised well and didn't have to cook at the age of seven or eight. Isn't she happy?
Boss Song also chuckled, and then joked self-deprecatingly, "Zhizhi doesn't have to cook, he has so many brothers, and my mother and several aunts have taught us since we were young that boys who can't cook will not be able to get a wife in the future.
Yes, you must not be obedient!"
This made my aunt laugh.
After breakfast, the eldest brother took over the washing of dishes. Song Zhizhi and her aunt tidied up a little before going to the Li family next door. The application procedures had been completed and they were just waiting for the approval to be completed.
So essentially, the house now belongs to Song Zhizhi, but the Li family still needs to find a good and auspicious day to move out, so Song Zhizhi agreed to move in without being in a hurry.
