Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seven Spring Ploughing
The third uncle was smoking a dry pipe nearby and said nothing. The people nearby understood that the mules raised in the old farm were not free for everyone to use.
Those who wanted to speak naturally shut up, but some people came over and directly negotiated the price with the third uncle.
They live with fellow villagers, and the third uncle doesn't ask for much. The mules are enough to feed him, and he can earn his own wages.
After finishing work and going home, the third uncle said: "I didn't expect that I have an extra errand."
Tian Tian: "If you are willing to let the big mules endure hardship, they will be satisfied. You can't just waste time and fodder on your own."
So far, I didn’t ask for money from the third uncle, but I carried two large boxes of my own green fodder to the third uncle, as well as half a bag of soybeans. Everyone in Shanggang Village saw it.
The third uncle was not polite to Tian Tian. He was the one who knew the conditions of the Tian Tian family best.
I have been driving back and forth from the commune to Gangcun for a long time, so I couldn't hide this matter from the well-informed third uncle.
And these days, there are almost as few people driving big cars as there are BMWs. They are all well-traveled people.
After Uncle Niu cleared away the land at home, he started to follow the fields to the mountains again.
In the dug terraces, before the saplings have grown, Uncle Niu and his wife said that they can still grow food for two years.
Tiantian didn't agree at first because he was afraid it would be too eye-catching. But at the end of the year, several companies that contracted the mountain farm, like Tiantian, started planting trees and digging terraces on the mountain.
Looking at the way they were resting and preparing the terraces, Tianyang knew that they were preparing to grow food. If he didn't grow food, he would be called a loser.
And some people are starting to look for people in the village to help them with work.
At the beginning, some people said a few words about Gu Changgong, but when several companies were too busy and started looking for someone, no one said anything.
Those who are looking for people to work hope to harvest more grain and have a good harvest. Those who are looking for people to work hope to have an income and multiple inputs.
Everyone lamented that life was getting better, as long as they worked hard, they would no longer be hungry.
Ye Ye took advantage of the opportunity and approached Wang, Da and Niu Niu. When it came to finding these two families, Ye Ye had also calculated it. As long as the wages were high, they would not talk too much in order to have work for themselves.
But there was one thing I hadn't calculated, the effect of Widow Wang and Aunt Niu being together.
Haha, what should I say? Tian Ye thinks, you have to blame yourself. Fortunately, Widow Wang worked more quickly. Aunt Niu was suppressed by Widow Wang here. Otherwise, Aunt Niu’s mouth would have beaten Wang.
The widow ran to death.
Widow Wang is someone who even dares to attack Tianye. Is that a good thing? Can she be afraid of Lady Niu?
If you don't pay attention, two people can set up the rice seedlings. When working on the mountain, it is no less peaceful than when working in a large group.
There are more people on the Tianyang side, so the terraces can be built faster, and Tianyang's strength is really used to the extreme.
Wang Daniu searched for saplings all over the mountains and fields, and planted another one on the top of a hill.
When several people were eating dry food at noon, Wang Daniu asked Tian Tian that he met an acquaintance from the next village on the mountain and heard that he was digging saplings. He asked if he could bring them to Tian Tian and how much one would cost.
Wang Daniu blushed and became thick-necked after hearing these words. If he didn't know the person, he wouldn't even ask.
Tian Tian was happy when he heard this: "Yes, why don't you want it? How much do you think a tree is suitable for?"
How could Wang Daniu know this? Benben stumbled for a long time without saying a word. Widow Wang was worried about her son.
Uncle Niu put down his cigarette pouch: "One penny a piece"
Tian Tian: "Ah" is too little.
Uncle Niu: "In the beginning, Da Niu could dig out hundreds of saplings a day. Now we have dug up all the saplings in recent days. Now Da Niu can dig out forty or fifty saplings a day."
Mrs. Niu clapped her hands and said, "That's right. If you go out for a day and dig out fifty or sixty saplings, it costs fifty or sixty cents. It's expensive."
Tian Ye: “It’s not expensive, it’s not expensive, that’s it.”
Then he turned to Wang Daniu: "We still have several hills. If there are saplings, they can be planted there. It is better than contracting the hill farm and leaving it empty to raise grass and firewood."
Uncle Niu: "That's right, these saplings cost a hundred yuan."
Tian Tian: "Tighten it tight and it will come out." Haha, he smiled a little guiltily.
Aunt Niu: "Hey, girl, your second son is in the army. How much money do you make? Look at how much money you still spend when you scatter it."
Uncle Niu glared at the mother-in-law. When their house next door was making noise all day long, you thought it was nothing but money. Stupid woman.
Tian Ye: "It's not much money. I don't have any expenses. My second brother has saved up for three or four years, and that's all."
Everyone believes this, and there are only so many. If there are more, it will be evil.
Uncle Niu: "We send the vegetables from my girl's house to the commune every winter. They are expensive, and we can't afford them anyway."
Well, there is still some progress here. Tian Tian fell silent and everyone started working again.
Looking at it this way, they had work to do till the time of farming. Widow Wang calculated that if the two of them worked hard, they would be able to save fifty or sixty yuan in the spring. They could arrange the marriage for Da Niu first.
The more I think about it, the faster I get it, for fear that someone else will steal the job. What's wrong with being a long-term worker? As a long-term worker, his son can ask for a wife.
The matter of Ye Ye collecting saplings was not as widespread as Ye Ye thought at all.
Tian Tian also thought that by spreading the word, he would be able to harvest saplings in a few days and fill the hills with planting.
Daniel told the people in the next village about the news, but they didn't spread the news. Instead, his family searched for saplings all over the mountains and fields. They could give out three to four hundred saplings a day, for fear that others would know about it and steal the business.
Tian Ye is very happy to do this kind of dedicated line business, and she doesn't want to make the news bigger.
When they had free time, the team leader and Accountant Zhu also followed Tian Ye to the mountains to help. When they saw that the sapling came like this, they didn't say anything.
Captain Tian said, this guy needs to work less. Otherwise, how could he be so hidden?
Tian Tian breathed a sigh of relief, the sapling came from the right path.
There were only so many things growing on the mountain. Within ten days, there were fewer and fewer saplings growing day by day.
Later, all the saplings with thick wrists were obtained, and the field was too embarrassed to give anyone a penny for one tree.
But Uncle Niu said that they don’t want such saplings, because it’s not easy to plant them. They rely on rainwater for moisture. The fields have forgotten this thing. People these days have to look at the sky to live, but there are no water pipes leading to the top of the mountain.
You can water the ground and trees at any time.
However, I am still happy to see that most of the hills above my home are covered with trees and fields. The foundation for success has been laid.
Aunt Niu: "It's a pity that there are no saplings left."
Tian Tian: "It's okay. I have planted chestnuts in my backyard. They can be planted in autumn, but the saplings are smaller."
Captain Tian’s wife: “In the past, our first-class land was enough for farming. Who knew we could farm when the mountains were opened? If such a large piece of land were planted, after the grain was sold, what would happen in the past few years?
The contract payment has come out. I feel relieved that I won’t have to build the house.”
Aunt Niu and Widow Wang were jealous after hearing this. They regretted not contracting all the hills to themselves. (To be continued)
