Reborn in 1981, the first to get rich start with dairy cows.

Chapter 147 Worried to death

"Grandma, where are my clothes?" Shen Dong shouted as he walked into the yard.

Seeing Shen Die sitting in the yard holding a child, she exclaimed with delight, "Sister, you're here too!"

Shen Die smiled gently, holding An'an, and sat against the doorstep.

"Why are you making such a fuss so early in the morning? Here, try it on." Liu Xiuying muttered as she took out the clothes.

The spring clothes at this time are relatively simple; they are basically just jackets with a pocket sewn onto the right chest, like shirts.

Shen Dong chuckled and put on the jacket.

"Dongzi, this outfit makes you look smarter. You dressed too old-fashioned before, like a grown-up," Tang Yue said, patting Shen Dong's shoulder and looking him up and down.

Shen Dong said with a bitter face, "There's no other way. I have to go out to discuss business. If I don't dress more maturely, people will look down on me."

Everyone just joked about it and didn't take it seriously.

Shen Dong stepped forward and gently rubbed An An's soft, pink face with his finger.

Shen Die had just finished her postpartum confinement period. The weather was nice, and it was close to her parents' home, so she brought her baby over to enjoy the sunshine.

"Sis, how's the house?"

"Construction has already started. They're laying the foundation these days, and your brother-in-law is supervising the work."

Suddenly, Shen Changping said, "Dongzi, you have to keep an eye on Xiaodie's general store, you know? Our family has to support her."

He knew about what happened a few days ago, but as a grandfather, he couldn't bring himself to confront the person directly, so he could only sulk.

He was immediately satisfied when he heard that Shen Dong had also made arrangements.

"Don't worry, everything's arranged. You know Yang Haitao, the purchasing team leader at the supply and marketing cooperative, right? I've already talked to people. Besides our factory's products, he'll also give you a batch of goods to sell, but..."

At this point, Shen Dong paused for a moment.

I was wearing a lot of clothes when I went out, and now I'm wearing a jacket, which is getting a bit hot in the sun, so I quickly took it off.

"However, they also said that since you already have a small shop, you can't compete with each other, so the goods you buy might be a little different."

"It's alright, as long as it helps with household expenses, it doesn't matter what we sell," Shen Die said with a smile.

"OK!"

As the two were talking, An'an suddenly started crying.

Liu Xiuying stepped forward, pulled back the diaper, and looked inside. "Oh dear, he's pooped again. This kid eats a lot, and poops a lot too."

As she spoke, she went back into the house to get diapers.

"Dongzi, go get some hot water, I need to wash An'an's bottom."

"Okay."

A basin of water was brought over, and Shen Die skillfully removed the diaper. Liu Xiuying then washed An'an's bottom and put a new diaper back on.

"As the uncle, do you want to help wash the diapers?" Liu Xiuying joked.

Shen Dong pinched his nose and said, "Let's not!"

"Ha ha!"

As everyone was talking, Tang Yue pulled Shen Dong aside.

"Dongzi, what's going on with your uncle's situation? We're just wasting time like this, what are we going to do?"

Shen Dong also had a headache. He pursed his lips and his mind started racing.

A while ago, seeing that everyone else was busy with important matters, while her husband was just lounging around in the team every day, Tang Yue was extremely anxious.

She knew her husband well; he was terrible at farm work, and it was only with the help of her in-laws and herself that they managed to keep going.

To put it bluntly, she's not even as good as her own eldest daughter; at least Shen Hong can help with transplanting rice seedlings.

She asked Shen Dong for advice. At that time, the popsicle factory was under construction, and Shen Dong suggested that Shen Weiguo come over, which she naturally agreed to.

But to everyone's surprise, Shen Weiguo refused!

Even after arguing, this person's mindset remained unchanged, causing Tang Yue a great deal of trouble.

"Auntie, do you think it's possible that Uncle doesn't like being managed, and that he doesn't like working a regular job?"

"He wants to fly to the moon!" Shen Changping said angrily from the side. "He can't even farm properly, and he looks down on factory work now, so why doesn't he just fly to the moon!"

In other words, the person in question wasn't home, otherwise he would definitely have poked Shen Weiguo hard.

"Grandpa, what do you think about us setting up a brick kiln instead of letting someone else farm Auntie's land?"

"No way!" Before Tang Yue could even speak, Shen Changping decisively refused.

Shen Dong was puzzled. The suggestion of a brick kiln was not a spur-of-the-moment thing. He clearly remembered that in the ordinary world he had watched in his previous life, Sun Shaoan's family's conditions improved after he started doing this.

Moreover, the entire commune only had two or three brick and tile factories, so the market potential was huge.

Shen Changping explained, "We're farmers, how can we let others cultivate our land? What kind of society would that be! What if they don't cultivate it well? How would you handle the grain delivery then? You'd never be able to explain yourself!"

However, his words did not make Shen Dong back down. He thought for a moment, then sat down next to Shen Changping and said, "Grandpa, we shouldn't give it all to others. Aunt's six acres of land can be used for two acres of cultivation, and we can keep four acres for ourselves."

Besides, my uncle can't work on more than a few acres anyway, so this saves everyone's effort. I remember last year you guys worked until eight or nine at night, it was so tiring.”

Seeing that Shen Changping's expression remained tense, he could only continue to persuade him: "Besides, the brick kiln can still make money. Even if the grain harvest is poor, we can still buy from others, right? And... and when Uncle gets busy, he won't have time to play with those people."

.

This struck a chord with several people.

I lost money playing cards last year, wasn't that because I was playing with them?

He doesn't play cards anymore now because Tang Yue is strict with money, and he doesn't have any to play with.

If you're really busy at the brick kiln, you really won't have time to think about these things.

Thinking of this, Shen Changping also showed a thoughtful expression.

Shen Dong realized that since the group had been chatting and offering various suggestions, and the person in question was not around, he asked Shen Min to go and find Shen Weiguo.

When Shen Weiguo returned, he realized that the atmosphere seemed a bit off, like a joint trial.

He quickly went through the events of the past few days in his mind, making sure everything was in order before asking, "Why did you call me back? What happened?"

"Please sit down first!" Shen Changping said.

Shen Weiguo's heart skipped a beat, realizing something was wrong, and he wanted to flee immediately.

But seeing the old man staring at him, and his nephew smiling at him, he sat down with a forced smile.

"I'm asking you, why don't you go to Dongzi's factory?"

He knew about the previous arguments, but the children were older, and as parents, they couldn't supervise them all the time. Saying too much would only annoy the children. Besides, everyone argues; they'll be fine tomorrow. So he didn't take it seriously.

Now that the atmosphere has reached this point, I just asked the question without thinking.

Shen Weiguo's face stiffened, then he looked at Tang Yue with some displeasure.

"Don't look at your wife, it has nothing to do with her, it's what I want to ask."

"Dad, what's there to ask? I just don't want to go," Shen Weiguo said impatiently.

"Then tell me what you want to do? You can't farm, and you won't go to work. What, are you going to rely on your wife to support you?" Seeing Shen Weiguo's bad attitude, Shen Changping's tone also rose unconsciously.

Shen Weiguo stood up abruptly.

"Grandpa, Uncle, calm down, let me talk!" Shen Dong hurriedly stepped forward. He was afraid that if it got any later, the father and son would start fighting, which would be even worse.
