Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Xiao Jie's father's proposal was immediately agreed upon by most of the people present, including Old Sun.

After all, fish farming is not like other jobs that anyone can do; fish farming is a job that requires skills, or you can say it's a job that's in the industry. You have to be clear about the growth habits of fish and shrimp.

A layman cannot do it. Even if he learns and does it on the spot, he still needs someone to guide him.

Even if you have someone to guide you, you still need to have the capital to make losses in the first one or two years, and you only need luck to break even.

After the first two years of "paying tuition fees", I started to prepare to make money. However, whether I can make money depends half on my own efforts and the other half on God's will, such as the harvest of the year, whether there will be heavy rains, floods...

In a word, there are risks in doing anything. The more you earn, the greater the risk.

"I'm afraid that won't work for those two families."

Just when everyone was about to vote in favor of Xiaojie's father's proposal, Yang Huazhong suddenly poured a bucket of cold water on it.

"Brother-in-law, have you gone to greet them in advance?" Xiaojie's father asked.

Yang Huazhong nodded, his face a little gloomy: "A family has an idea, but they don't have the capital, so they can't rent it."

"Tell me here, no matter who it is leased to, can he still keep 20%? He should contribute the same as last year."

"I said this year is different from previous years. This year's situation is special."

"What about the second one? What did the second one say?" someone else asked.

Yang Huazhong shook his head. "The second family couldn't even get the lease by relying on labor. They said they relied on labor to invest last year, which delayed the work on the family's fields during the spring ploughing season. As a result, the harvest last year was not as good as in previous years."

"Especially this year, there was a flood in the first month of the year, and the rapeseed and wheat were all submerged. It seemed that they would suffer from famine during the lean period. Now, his family members are complaining about him, saying that if he doesn't come to the fish pond this year, all their energy will be used in the fields at home!"

When everyone at the table heard what Yang Huazhong had said about the family's situation, they all looked unhappy.

Yang Huaming spat the tea leaves in his mouth back into the tea bowl, closed the lid, and snorted coldly: "That family of ungrateful bastards, all they say is nonsense!"

"I know Brother Blacksmith best. He will never let his two partners suffer any loss in his fish pond!"

"The capital was all provided by the Luo family, and the effort from the Luo family was no less than that from the other two families. Brother Blacksmith, Ping An and Xing Wang all contributed."

"The other two families just followed and worked without paying. If they were outside, they would just give them wages and send them away!"

“But in Luo’s case, the two families working there each get 20% of the profits. With that 20% profit share, even if the rapeseed and wheat are flooded in the first month of this year, with that money in hand, why worry about not being able to buy food?
I think most of them spent all the dividends during the Chinese New Year, so they are anxious this year!"

Yang Huaming's words won everyone's approval and everyone nodded.

Xiao Jie's father said: "In the past year, those two families have been taking fish and shrimp from the fish pond to their homes at will. Brother Blacksmith is very generous!"

The eldest Sun said angrily, "There are some things you don't know, but I do know. Those two families took the money openly and secretly. Someone in the village tipped me off, saying that the family behind was on duty at the fish pond at night, and returned home at dawn with a bucket with a lid. Not long after, his family went to the market in town, and quickly sold the fish in the bucket for money!"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned.

Yang Huaming even drummed his fingers on the table and asked in a lost voice: "Her aunt, why didn't you tell Qing'er about this earlier?" Da Sun said: "I told you, Qing'er said that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. As long as it's not too much and doesn't delay the work, let him be. Anyway, he was asked to accompany her uncle. As long as her uncle is busy and happy in the fish pond, it's fine!"

"Ah? This Qing'er... Well, it's not good to be too generous. There must be rules to follow, otherwise it's easy for people to take advantage of loopholes!" Yang Huaming shook his head after hearing this.

"It's not like Qing'er doesn't understand this principle. She can run such a big business, so she won't understand the twists and turns here?" Old Yang looked at Yang Huaming, corrected him, and added his own opinion: "Just like what the eldest girl of the Sun family said before, Qing'er knows everything. She didn't point it out because she was generous and didn't want to spoil the blacksmith's fun!"

"She is a filial child. She turned a blind eye to it for the sake of her uncle, the blacksmith."

"Brother, what you said makes sense!" Old Sun also spoke up again, "If that's the case, then we shouldn't ask those two families from last year anymore. Let's spread the news and find someone else to take over the fish pond!"

"The conditions we offer are not limited to Changping Village. Anyone who is interested can come and sign up. We will screen and select them, and take the initiative!"

"Yes, that's it!"

"I suggest that I do this!" Yang Huaming raised his hand. "I will select the people. Third brother, Xiaojie's father, you are too kind. You can't say some words of courtesy before force. Let me say it!"

"What the fourth brother said makes sense, but you can't do this alone. In everything, someone has to play the good cop and the bad cop to get the job done." said Old Yang.

"Xiao Jie's father, or the third brother, one of you can come and team up with the fourth brother!"

Yang Huazhong glanced at Xiao Jie's father. Compared with Yang Huamei's enthusiasm and self-recommendation attitude, Xiao Jie's father's attitude was a bit hesitant.

Yang Huazhong thought about it and guessed why.

It's getting warmer in the spring. In the Sun family's pig farm, several sows are about to give birth to piglets. The two litters of piglets from the previous year are also about to be slaughtered. It's the busy season for the Sun family. They are short of manpower to handle their own affairs, so how can they have time to do anything else?

"I can do it..."

Xiao Jie's father hesitated only briefly and immediately expressed his willingness to assist Yang Huaming in selecting a contractor for the fish pond.

Yang Huazhong interrupted Xiao Jie's father and said, "Brother-in-law, don't go. Let me take care of this."

"The third child..."

"Brother-in-law, we don't have much to do in the spring. The fields are left to Qing Xiaozi to take care of. There are not many things to do in the village. I have nothing to do anyway."

Sun nodded and advised Xiao Jie's father: "Brother-in-law, you have so many piglets to take care of in your pig farm, you are too busy to handle it. Don't waste your time on things here, we are here to take care of you!"

Xiao Jie's father knew that his previous hesitation had been seen through by them. He was a little embarrassed and his face turned red. He turned to look at Da Sun, seeking her opinion with his eyes.

The eldest Sun glared at him with a look of disdain, "Why are you looking at me? My sister and brother-in-law understand our situation, so just accept their kindness!"

Xiao Jie's father said: "We couldn't help the Luo family..."

Da Sun rolled her eyes at him again and said, "If we can't help with this, then we can help with something else!"

"Raise the piglets well, and when they are ready, give one to the Luo family!" (End of this chapter)
