Chapter 241 Livelihood Issues
Uncle Tian understood Lin Xiangnan's carelessness, but he didn't refuse too much.

There is only this big place inside and outside the village in a village. Of course, Uncle Tian knows what kind of people Lin Xiangnan and Ling Xiaoyu are, and these two children can be trusted.

On the other hand, Ling Xiaoyu's tofu business is getting better and better.

Every day at dawn, in the clear voice of the rooster, Ling Xiaoyu has already got up and washed up.

In the tofu business, small profits but quick turnover, the most important thing is to be diligent.

Taking advantage of the dim light, she started a fire, and put all the brine and other things that she had prepared in advance into the cauldron. When the smoke rose, the sun slowly emerged from the eastern horizon.

Ling Xiaoyu yawned, looked up, and looked at the orange clouds in the distance. The thick aroma of tofu wafted from the cooking smoke, and she felt at ease when she smelled it.

She thought, making tofu is indeed a little savings, but just a few cents is really not enough for retirement.

Villagers are not afraid of suffering or tiredness, but if they have a disease or something, it is really a piece of money that beats a hero.

Xiaoyu knows this reason, always like a hamster busy hiding food for the winter, no matter how prepared it is, it is not enough.

Tofu is not the only soy product. Xiaoyu has become more and more familiar with it these days. She has already figured out what is in it. She plans to sell tofu nao, soy milk, and soy sauce in the future.

Anyway, money, no matter how much you earn, you can’t have too much money.

The crowing of the cock became louder and louder, and the sound of footsteps outside the wall began to come from time to time. This was the most ordinary and ordinary day in Shuangxi Village.

Lin Xiangnan had the same temper as Ling Xiaoyu, so he never slept too much, why did he lie in bed after a long sleep and felt uneasy, so he got up early.

Lin Xiangnan walked into the yard, and just stretched his waist, he saw Ling Xiaoyu sitting in front of the stove and lighting a fire. Compared with the big stove, Ling Xiaoyu was more petite and small.

From time to time, she handed one or two sticks of firewood into the stove, she was thinking about something, her eyes were fixed on a certain point on the ground, and she remained motionless.

Lin Xiangnan couldn't help smiling, and remembered the incident that Lao Tian mentioned yesterday.

He simply squatted down and pushed Ling Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu, Uncle Tian told me something yesterday, and I thought I should discuss it with you."

Only then did Ling Xiaoyu come back to her senses, and nodded, "What's the matter?"

"You also said that time, this autumn will pass soon, and when winter comes, it will be hard to find a living or something. Uncle Tian wants us to take the lead in raising something."

"Feed what?"

"Pigs, cows, sheep, whatever."

When Ling Xiaoyu heard it, her head shook like a rattle.

"Uncle Tian thinks about it. We couldn't support ourselves before. If we raise more than a dozen animals, we won't have spare money."

She was only thinking about earning a living from soy products, but she was not thinking about it, so she was decisive in refusing.

This family has always been decided by Ling Xiaoyu, let alone raised, Lin Xiangnan has never killed a chicken, so he listened to Xiaoyu in this matter.

It was too difficult before, but now I finally agree that I have a little money, so I really can't mess around.

Uncle Tian was waiting for an answer, Lin Xiangnan went to find him early in the morning and told him his family's thoughts.

"You boy."

Uncle Tian took a sip of the dry smoke, and the smoke wrapped around him in white. He sighed, "What you said yesterday was good, let me take the lead. Today is fine, and I changed my mind again without saying a word."

Lin Xiangnan patted Uncle Tian on the shoulder, and sat down on a big rock beside him, "Uncle Tian, ​​that's not the idea. It's just that Xiaoyu is careful in thinking, so we can't be too negligent, right. What's the matter with it, even if it doesn't follow It’s like raising a child, so you can’t raise it casually.”

He paused, then continued, "Not to mention anything else, we just raised fifty pigs. Where can we raise them? Where can we find such a big pigsty? I have to build another wall and tiles myself. We will go to the lake again in the spring of next year, and we haven't raised any piglets yet."

Uncle Tian took another puff and tapped the stem of the cigarette.

What Lin Xiangnan said, he can understand to some extent, take the lead to get rich, these four words are simple to say, but everyone is from village households, facing the loess and back to the sky is an old tradition that has been left over for thousands of years.

This sudden change of career is indeed easier said than done.

"Xiao Lin, I actually understand this too. You know how the people in our village live. There are a few households that are so poor that they almost use their noses to serve as walls! What kind of elegant talk is said that the families are so poor that they are so poor. Into the haystack, there are not many walls!"

Lin Xiangnan nodded.

Of course he knew what was going on in the village.

Everyone is honest and down-to-earth, their faces are tanned like carbon by the sun, and the faces of the older people are like ravines, it is not easy to live!
"Money still has to be earned. This is the way. We have to plan well. Uncle Tian, ​​there is no rush for this matter."

When Lin Xiangnan went to find Uncle Tian, ​​he didn't have time to eat, and the two chatted speculatively again, and it was noon after talking.

Ling Xiaoyu has been busy all morning by herself. The tofu business has been getting better and better these two days. At the end of the sale, there is still the last bowl left. Picked a green onion, took out two hidden eggs from under the bed and scrambled them.

She put in the right amount of salt and oil for her cooking, and bursts of aroma soon wafted from the small firewood room.

At this time, Lin Xiangnan opened the door and came in.

Ling Xiaoyu came out with the dishes, with a smile on her face, "I'm back. What are you busy with, I haven't seen anyone all morning."

Having been busy all morning, it was too late to make porridge or anything else, so Ling Xiaoyu pushed the still hot tofu in front of Lin Xiangnan, just poured herself a bowl of hot tea, took two sips and sat down.

"Eat it quickly, this tofu is specially reserved for me."

Lin Xiangnan shook his head and pushed it over, "You should eat it. I've been busy all morning, and I still want to keep this bowl of tofu for me."

"What, I just made the tofu this morning, and I ate a big bowl full. I won't starve myself."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Xiangnan, "What's the matter, what happened today?"

There was never any secret between the two of them, but thinking of Uncle Tian's sad face, Lin Xiangnan didn't know what to say to Ling Xiaoyu for a while.

"No."

Ling Xiaoyu put down her chopsticks, she didn't believe Lin Xiangnan's words.

"Still planning to lie to me."

She remembered what Lin Xiangnan said in the morning, and she almost knew that she was sure.

"What are you raising here? I didn't just say it casually. If nothing else, where can we find such good piglets?"

Piglets are only the first step, and there will be more, not less, to consider later.

"I didn't say I wanted to raise it either." Lin Xiangnan returned.

"Uncle Tian, ​​it's not easy for the folks in the village. We can't just rely on those few acres of Susukida for the rest of our lives."
