Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 37

Moving to a new home is a new beginning, away from Guo Shi and others, even Ye Zhu is much more cheerful than before.

And the study of Lixia and Liqiu has been put on the agenda.

Ye Zhu also agrees with his sons to go to school, otherwise, like himself, they will not know a single word, and they will have no future in their lives.

But Lixia said: "The family still owes money to build a house. I am the eldest, and I am already so old. Let Liqiu go to study alone. I can still make money, so let's just confess Liqiu."

But Li Qiu said: "Brother, if you don't go to study, I won't go either."

Xiao Qiao said: "Big Brother, Second Brother, both of you go, and when the time comes, you will teach my sister and me, each of you will teach one."

Wu said: "Go all, I don't expect you to take any exams for talents. As long as you can read and understand, you are better than anything else. Don't worry at home. Your uncle and the others are not in a hurry to ask for money, but you have to enter the school early. Last time When your aunt came over, she gave me two taels of silver, which is enough for you to spend for a year, and now our family doesn't have much land, so your father and I can be busy, so you don't have to worry about it at all."

Ye Zhu also said: "Your mother is right, now that we are alone, father wishes you well."

Xiaofeng said: "Big brother, second brother, don't worry about it, study hard, our family will definitely get better and better, and the school also releases the farmers when the farming is busy, you can still go home to help, just let it go Learning, don’t you guys do anything else? It’s not like you’re still in the old yard, you’re busy every day, our parents are in charge of the house, we have plenty of time.”

Xiaoqiao said: "That's right, big brother and second brother, don't worry, I'm going to take over the job of raising chickens, and after laying eggs, I can sell them to buy paper and pens for you."

Looking at the whole family, Lixia felt sore, and agreed to go to school, and he must study hard. Xiaoqiao also pestered her elder brother to learn how to read and came back to teach her, so that everyone could learn to read.

Li Xia immediately agreed.And secretly vowed that he must study hard and definitely live up to the expectations of the whole family.

At night Xiaofeng asked Xiaoqiao, "Why did you ask my brother to teach us how to read?" There are no girls in the village who can read.

Xiaoqiao said: "Isn't it good to read? We want to learn to read, bro, they must be afraid of confusing us, so they will study very seriously, we can also learn more things, bro, they can learn well , This is not a very good thing. Sister, you must study hard, don't be compared to me!"

"How is it possible? Let's see." Xiaofeng is very confident. She is smart and older than Xiaoqiao. If she is not as good at learning as her, then she is really too bad.

"Sister, do you have a lot of money?" Xiaoqiao asked.

Xiaofeng has been saving private money for a long time. "What's wrong?" Xiaofeng asked.

Xiaoqiao said: "I think if we buy a few more chickens, we will lay more eggs and sell them for more money. With the money in hand, it won't be much."

"Hehe, Xiaoqiao is thinking about making money now, and my sister thinks it's very good! I thought you were just talking about raising chickens. I just have these in my hand. Take them all. It's time to buy chickens." , hello."

Xiaoqiao took a small bag from Xiaofeng, and there was still some money in it, "Don't worry, sister, the chickens have grown up, and the roosters can be sold, and I will return all the money to you when the time comes!"

"It's really boring if you don't pay back anything. Well, it's getting late, and tomorrow I have to ask Landlord Zhang if he needs a helper. Let's go to sleep." Xiaofeng is also working hard to make money, Xiaoqiao I feel like I have to work harder.

The next day, Ye Zhu took Lixia and Liqiu to the school to meet his master, Xiaofeng went to Zhang's landlord's house to find acquaintances, and Xiaoqiao told Wu that he wanted to buy chickens.

Wu said with a smile, "I'll buy it when my mother goes to the market next time, don't worry."

"Then I'll go with you too. Mother, leave the chickens at home to me, and I promise to raise them well."

Xiaoqiao gave Wu the money she had and the money saved by Xiaofeng, "Mom, let's buy more, anyway, our yard is big."

It is big enough. I guess there is a vegetable garden in the backyard, and there are still some leftovers. Wu and Ye Zhu discussed planting some drought-resistant things, such as sweet potatoes, bracts and so on.

"Okay!" The little girl is sensible, and the mother is naturally happy, and she originally planned to raise more chickens.Plant some sweet potatoes and yams next to it, and the vines can be eaten by pigs. If the family is to prosper, poultry and livestock are indispensable.

Mrs. Wu was thinking about what she told her eldest aunt last time, she would also go there to sell vegetables in the group, and all the money on hand, except for household use, would be included.It is also an entry.

Just relying on three acres of dry land is simply not enough to fill the stomach.

One acre of the dry land assigned to Xiaoqiao's family is planted with sweet potatoes, another with sorghum, and another with bracts.When the family was separated, the rice they shared was not enough to eat. Fortunately, Xiaoqiao's mother's family sent some, and it was enough to eat for a while when paired with coarse grains.

When Wu thought about going to the market, she also sold the needles and threads she made to buy some oil and salt, and she had to buy some coarse grains, otherwise it would not be enough to eat.It is not an option to always rely on natal support.

Even if the three acres of land are harvested, you can't eat sweet potatoes and breaded noodles every day.The rice cooked with sorghum is even worse.Li Xia and Li Qiu want to study, they have to use their brains, and they have to eat something good.

Let's see if Yifan and the others can do a good job in the business and get some money then.

Xiaoqiao is going to the market, and he also wants to see if he can find anything to make money. After all, farming alone will definitely not make him rich. One is to pay taxes, but there are not many fields, and there is not enough food for the family. , At this time, the grain output is really pitifully low. Without hybrid seeds, there is at most [-] catties of rice per mu of good land.
So we have to find another way to investigate business opportunities.Xiaoqiao sighed, it was really embarrassing for her.

There are a lot of wild vegetables in this rural area, but ancient times are not modern, and people are still greedy for them. They like to eat wild vegetables eaten by poor people. Basically, wild vegetables are eaten when there is nothing for people to eat. You have to go to If you sell it in the city, people will ignore you.

Just like Landlord Zhang’s family, if you think it’s kind of you to give someone a basket of wild vegetables, they will still think you’re insulting them.So this doesn't work at all.

And want to do needlework to sell money?One is that you are not good at crafting, but making this thing, your eyes will be damaged quickly, Ye Xiaoqiao doesn't want his beautiful eyes to become dull.

The old hen started clucking, and Xiaoqiao hurriedly went to pick up the eggs. This was a job she was willing to do, but it was a pity that there were only two hens. If there were groups of hens, they could lay hundreds of them a day. One egg costs one penny, one hundred is one hundred pennies, and that month is three thousand pennies, a whole three taels of silver.Excluding the cost, there are also two taels of silver to earn.If you calculate more, you can earn more than one or two taels of silver.Is it much worse than that kind of land?
Ye Xiaoqiao decided to start raising chickens first.

After all, in addition to laying eggs, chickens also have chickens themselves, and selling chickens can also make money.

However, the premise is that one can afford to buy so many chickens, otherwise everything will be nothing.

In other words, in fact, it is best to be a middleman, if you only play a hand among them and earn the difference, then you don't need to take too much capital.But middlemen require credit, otherwise no one in your leather bag company will trust you, let alone a little girl like Ye Xiaoqiao.Some ideas cannot be put into action.You really can't do whatever you want.

By the way, there is still a quagmire next to our yard. When the time comes to clean it up, can we raise fish?This, I have to find a way to let my father do it.

Ye Xiaoqiao felt that he had a long way to go.
