Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 319 The Son-in-Law Visits ([-])

The scale of Dingtun is larger than that of Hantun, and the more households there are, the average distribution of money per household will naturally be less.

"It can't be compared with your Han Tun, but it's more than enough than the top, so we should be satisfied." Ma Dongmei's father said.

Ma Dongmei's father asked about Han Tun's dividends this year, "I heard that your brigade distributed 5000 yuan this year. Is there really that much?"

Han Zhaoguo was eating sullenly at first, when he saw his father-in-law questioning him, he replied, "Almost."

Ma Dongmei's mother exclaimed: "Hey, why don't you send me some old money? This year is almost catching up with us and we've been working for a lifetime."

Ma Dongmei's father was silent. Everyone knew that Han Tun's dividend must be higher than theirs, but the fact that it was so high was really jaw-dropping.

"Dongmei is really blessed to marry in Hantun!" Ma Dongmei's mother said with a smile on her face, "By the way, Zhaoguo. Isn't your third child still dating? How do you think Dongmei's second sister from her second uncle's family is like you? The third child is about the same age, and looks handsome, better than Dongmei."

Han Zhaoguo didn't know how to answer his mother-in-law's words, he was usually clumsy, so he looked at his wife.

Seeing that his son-in-law was in trouble, Ma Dongmei's father stepped on his wife's foot under the table, "What are you talking about? Eat."

Ma Dongmei and her mother have no taboos, "Mom, don't think about it. The third child wants to find a girl from the city, but our second sister can't."

When Ma Dongmei's mother heard her daughter's words, she secretly slandered her, and even looked for a girl in the city to see if he could do it. After two days of good life, she couldn't find her.

"The third child is just stubborn. He fell in love with a girl from the city. Many people from the family came to propose marriage. He disagreed with his life and death. My parents couldn't handle it." Han Zhaoguo saw that Ma Dongmei's mother had a bad face, and was afraid of Ma Dongmei. The parents misunderstood and explained a sentence.

Ma Dongmei's father said with a smile: "Now that your conditions in Hantun are better, you don't have to worry about finding girls in the city."

"He, now he is ambitious. Last year he made a lot of money by taking pictures of people. No, recently he started to talk about opening a photo studio." Ma Dongmei said.

Ma Dongmei's mother was surprised: "Open a photo studio? That's a lot of money, right?"

"I don't know, anyway, I heard from the third child that it costs thousands of dollars just to buy the equipment."

Ma Dongmei's parents shook their heads when they heard this, "You Hantun are really well-developed now, and you talk about thousands of words."

The reaction of Ma Dongmei’s parents actually represents the attitudes of many brigades around Hantun and common people in the commune. Everyone was originally on the same level, but now Hantun has suddenly undergone a 180-degree change, making it difficult for many people to adapt for a while. All kinds of envy and jealousy hatred.

Those who are active are now studying how to get some benefits in Hantun, such as those who want to get married like Ma Dongmei's mother.

There are also those who want to come here to work.As the amount of labor in Hantun's field is increasing, the members of Hantun must not be completely counted on. Once the labor force exceeds a certain point of the total labor force of Hantun, which affects the spring planting and autumn harvest, they will inevitably recruit workers. People are waiting for this opportunity.

Everyone has heard that the salary at Hantun Farm is similar to that of the factory, and there are benefits, and the money is hard currency such as rice and pork.

When the chicken farm was expanded last year, a lot of members from the neighboring brigade were used to work, and the daily wages paid were not low. When I went back to promote it, I knew that Hantun’s farm was generous. Who would not like such a good place? Looking forward to it?
"Dongmei, do you still remember Ding Youcai?" Ma Dongmei's mother asked.

"Aren't you a swineherd? You're working in our pig farm now."

"That's right, I heard that working in your Hantun pig farm for a year has earned a lot of money. On the [-]th day, I went home and gave his wife a pack of unity."

Han Zhaoguo and Ma Dongmei looked at each other. Of course they didn't know how much the pig farm gave Ding Youcai, but they knew He Ping's character, so this kind of thing was entirely possible.

"It should be true. The pig farm made a lot of money at the end of the year. He Ping is very generous to everyone." Ma Dongmei said.

"I'll just say it's true. These people don't believe it all the time, and they also say that I'm bragging for you Han Tun." Ma Dongmei's mother said angrily.

Ma Dongmei's father persuaded: "Look at you, there is no reason to be angry about this. Besides, Lao Cai is a good pig raiser. If the Hantun pig farm really makes money, isn't it normal to give him more money?" , there are no more people from Han Tun than them!"

"That's true, the family is worth several thousand yuan." After talking, the topic turned back to the dividend.

A dinner passed amidst this kind of discussion.

Ding Youcai's family, who is also in the same brigade, is extremely well-populated today.

Ding Youcai gave birth to four children, the eldest daughter and the second daughter are married, the eldest son has just been married not long ago, and the youngest son has just turned [-] and is not yet married.

A family of more than a dozen people, old and young, divided into two tables for dinner. Ding Youcai brought his son and son-in-law to one table, and Ding Youcai's wife brought his daughter, daughter-in-law and children to one table.

Compared with the atmosphere of previous years, the atmosphere at the dinner table of Ding Youcai's family this year was much more lively. The two sons-in-laws frequently toasted Ding Youcai, which made the old man a little bit superior.

"Dad, does the Hantun pig farm really make so much money?" the eldest son-in-law asked after taking a sip of wine.

Ding Youcai took a sip of wine, and his eyes were already a little drunk, "To make money is to make money, and this batch of live pigs sold for more than 100 million during the Chinese New Year."

As soon as Ding Laocai's words came out, the other four people on the table all exclaimed: "More than 100 million?"

"What's the noise? I've never seen anything like that in the world. It was sold for more than 100 million yuan, but this year people ate horse chews, and the rest was 30 million yuan."

"Why are there so many left?"

"What's less is less, that's a lot, two to three million."

……

The eldest son-in-law and the second son-in-law started a debate on the amount of "two to three hundred thousand".

Ding Laocai watched the two son-in-laws blushing under the catalysis of alcohol, but he was not annoyed at all.

"Okay! There's nothing to argue about. Don't I know if I'll do the math for you?" Ding Youcai interrupted the conversation between the two sons-in-law, "Look. It costs money to build a pig farm, right? I heard it is It cost 6 to [-] yuan. There are three or four hundred breeding pigs and sows in our pig farm, which is another two hundred thousand yuan. The feed, medicine, and labor wages for raising pigs are another three hundred thousand yuan. I heard that our team has to pay taxes to run a business, and one-third of the remaining money will be removed at once. We will save some funds for next year in the field, and some money in the team. It is quite good to have about [-] yuan left gone."

The two sons-in-law were dizzy when they heard Ding Youcai's calculations. They were all counting. They had never seen so much money in their life.

However, Ding Youcai's eldest son was not overwhelmed by the astronomical figures Ding Youcai said, but asked: "Hey, Dad. Hantun Pig Farm's business is so good, there must be more pigs next year, and they plan to recruit people." No?"

The eldest son's words reached a key question, and the remaining two sons-in-law and the youngest son on the table all stared at Ding Youcai.
