Chapter 285: We won't raise pigs next year
Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, the family sat around the brazier, Lu took out the money from selling live pigs today and put it on the table on the side, "Good luck this year, our pigs are better than those raised by other people in the village, and the price of pigs is still the same as last year, and a hundred catties of pigs are sold for two taels of silver." Every pig we sold this year has more than 300 catties, and the weight of the pig is 1,300 catties, so this year I earned 26 taels of silver by raising pigs! ”
A few years ago, it was good to be able to sell eighteen taels of silver a year.
Now that he has turned over so much, Lu is very satisfied.
Han Yunwen and his brothers suddenly felt that this year had not been in vain.
Shen Qing felt that it was not cost-effective to raise pigs to make money, and when he thought about selling navel oranges and oranges, they sold them for 150 taels of silver at once. Instead of working hard to raise pigs, it is better to concentrate on planting fruit trees, at least the profits of fruit trees are stronger than that of raising pigs.
Moreover, the traders treat them differently in Baoyan Village, and the price of live pigs in other villages seems to be 3 taels of silver for 100 catties of pigs. It's really not cost-effective to lose a tael of silver!
After Lu put away the 26 taels of silver, leaned back in the chair, looked at her three sons deeply, and said: "We won't raise pigs next year, boss, after the second year, you still follow the second uncle to work in Fucheng and earn more money!" Especially the second one, you are a carpenter, we can't lose this job, try to get back to your old job as soon as possible!
Your brothers will work hard for another year, save money for a year, and then prepare a good girl for you, let's find a suitable girl in Wangjiang County, and if you are willing to marry your girl, you will go to Fucheng! As long as you are diligent and honest and can earn money, there are still girls who are willing to marry you! In fact, my mother has wanted to hold her grandson for a long time! ”
"Mother, don't worry about me marrying a daughter-in-law with my eldest brother, fate has arrived, and it will come naturally!" Han Yunqiao is not in a hurry to get married and have children, one is that the family is indeed too poor to give his future daughter-in-law a stable and happy life. Second, it's because of his third brother, although there have been no unlucky and tragic things in recent months, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future? In the end, he really didn't have the idea of getting married and having children!
Lu sighed slightly: "Your brother is not young, it's time to get married and have children!" It's just that our family is too poor to marry you a good daughter-in-law, so we can only wronged your brother to wait a little longer! ”
Han Yunjing hung his head silently, feeling extremely guilty and self-reproachful.
The eldest brother and the second brother can't marry a daughter-in-law, all because of themselves.
The girls in the village dislike that they are broom stars, and they are afraid that they will be killed by him if they marry.
Although the eldest brother and the second brother never complained about himself, he couldn't forgive himself.
Fortunately, she has the little lucky star of Sister Qing'er, because of Sister Qing'er, the bad luck that has made him suffer for nine years has finally settled, as long as Sister Qing'er does not leave her, the eldest brother and the second brother don't have to worry about not marrying a daughter-in-law.
"As for the clouds? My mother has thought about it, and I will send you to the school to read and write after the New Year! None of us have a pen in our family, they are all old farmers! You will fight for your mother, eldest brother, and second brother, you must study hard and strive to find someone to come back! Let's forget about the village school and the county school, my mother wants to think of ideas, so that you can also go to the school in Baoning County to read and write!
My mother took Qing'er to rent a house in Baoning County, do a small business, and be able to make a living! Take care of you by the way! As for your father? Bring it with you, too! But he must be tied up at home as he is now, and he will not be allowed to go out. Qing'er, after you, you will be staring at your father at home! ”
