Chapter 260: Keeping the New Year
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it is time to keep the New Year.
The family put on new clothes bought in the city, sat around the TV, and watched the Spring Festival Gala while munching melon seeds.
Lin Chunhua and Yang Xiaoyan were amused by the sketch and laughed.
Yang Laojiu and Zhou Mo sat a little farther away from them, discussing their plans for the coming year in a whisper.
Zhou Mo said: "The matter of planting fruit trees and medicinal materials in Baoshan should also be arranged." ”
Yang Laojiu nodded and said, "After the fifth day of the new year, I will ask and see which families are willing to transfer the mountain." ”
Zhou Mo thought for a while and said, "After the mountain is wrapped, we will dig up all the fruit trees on the mountain, plan our own fruit forests and medicinal fields, and plant my special seedlings." ”
Yang Laojiu said: "In this way, if there are those who are willing to transfer the mountain, let's allow them to dig up all the fruit trees after the compensation is sufficient."
Fruit trees can be transplanted, or they can be sold directly for money, and I believe they will be happy to help us dig them up.
The fruit trees are worth some money, but it costs more to hire someone to dig them.
It's more cost-effective for us. ”
Zhou Mo said again: "Let's raise fewer chickens and ducks, just raise some in the peach orchard, and the two hillsides can be vacated to raise cattle."
The growth cycle of our cattle is shorter than that of ordinary cattle, and the meat is much longer.
Raising cattle is more profitable than raising chickens and ducks.
Our cattle are not susceptible to disease yet, and it doesn't matter if they are raised a little more intensively. ”
Yang Laojiu nodded again: "The M man who opened the Western restaurant is still waiting for our beef."
From the sixth day of the first lunar month, two or three cows must be slaughtered every day, and this number will gradually increase in the future.
It's time to hire a master or two at the slaughterhouse who specializes in cattle slaughter.
When the first batch of cattle is almost killed, we will get another one or two thousand calves out to raise.
There is another question, as long as the people of country M are good beef suitable for steak, what should we do with the rest? ”
"It's just right to send those offal to the small courtyard of the farmhouse to make hot pot.
Or you can eat it with it.
Beef bones in soup.
If you want beef, ask the manager of Haode.
If he doesn't want it, we can sell it to the guests of the farmhouse, and we can ask someone to make beef jerky and sell it.
Our beef is also very delicious when made into beef jerky, and the packaging is a little more beautiful, and it is not difficult to sell it at a high price. ”
Yang Laojiu took out his pipe, took a puff of dry tobacco, and said, "The fish in our reservoir are not small, and we can also find buyers for them."
It would also be a lot of income......"
The more money he earns, the better his life passes, and the more Yang Laojiu thinks about it, the more beautiful it becomes.
If he can find a good son-in-law in the coming year, he will have no regrets in his life.
After Yang Laojiu finished smoking dry cigarettes, he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, didn't your godmother say that she would pick you up and go to country M one day?
How are you learning English?
It's okay to communicate with the locals, right?
Don't go out alone when you go there; Don't provoke others casually; It's better not to take out what you have there; Be careful to protect yourself......"
Yang Laojiu explained a lot, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't rest assured.
He didn't know what the secret was between that lady of Ilse and his good granddaughter.
Anyway, when a good granddaughter goes to country M, it must not be as simple as recognizing the door and meeting her godfather.
He looked at Zhou Mo seriously and asked, "Why don't I go to country M with you?" ”
Without waiting for Zhou Mo to answer, he changed his mind again.
"Forget it, it doesn't help if I go, I don't understand that kind of chattering English.
You can't do this big thing at home, and your grandmother and your mother are not very good at it.
Alas......"
Zhou Mo knew that Yang Laojiu cared about her, so he was worried about her.
She smiled and said, "My godmother has already given me the visa, I will go on the ninth day of the first month, stay there for a month at most, and I will come back in a month." ”
She held up three fingers and continued, "I promise, when I go over there, I won't go out alone, I won't provoke others, and I won't expose my secrets.
If I was in danger, I would have hid as soon as possible.
You know, as long as I want to hide, no one can find me unless I show up......"
When Yang Laojiu heard this, he was a little relieved.
……
At 11:55, Yang Laojiu took out the 10,000 firecrackers he had bought in advance and spread them in the open space in front of the door.
As soon as the time on his phone jumped to 0:00, he immediately took a lighter and lit the fuse of the firecracker.
At the same time, nearby villagers also lit their own firecrackers.
The sound of "crackling" was layered and resounded in the sky.
The air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur.
The firecrackers, which are known as 10,000 rings, only went off for two minutes.
Lin Chunhua was stunned and said: "The current firecracker factory is too black-hearted, in the past, ten thousand rings could sound for three minutes, but this one only rang for two minutes, at least three thousand rings are missing." ”
Everyone thinks that the louder the sound of firecrackers, the better, and the longer the sound, the more auspicious.
In particular, the sound of firecrackers in her house has stopped, and other people's houses are still ringing.
Lin Chunhua felt slightly uncomfortable in her heart.
Yang Laojiu patted her lightly on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, we also bought fireworks, and then the fireworks are the same." ”
Zhou Mo clapped his hands on the side and said: "It's good to set off fireworks, fireworks are loud and beautiful!" ”
Yang Laojiu entered the house, took out a large fireworks with 100 rounds, and placed it in the open space on the side of the front of the house.
After lighting the fireworks, he retreated to the front and waited with his family for the fireworks to take off.
After more than ten seconds, the fireworks made a "poof" sound.
A cloud of colored light then rushed into the sky, leaving a gray smoke in midair.
In the next second, there was a loud bang, and the sky lit up.
The colored light exploded in an instant, turning into countless streamers and rushing around, blooming a brilliant flower in the sky.
The streamer is fleeting, and the flowers are short-lived.
The first fireworks disappeared and the second fireworks burst on......
Lin Chunhua held Yang Xiaoyan's hand and watched the fireworks with Yang Xiaoyan.
Zhou Mo and Yang Laojiu also looked at the sky above them with a smile.
Yang Xiaoyan quietly turned her head in the direction of the small waterfall, where there was the grave of her husband Zhou Qingjun.
She whispered in her heart: "Qingjun, look, how beautiful this firework is!"
We've made a lot of money this year and even more in the coming year.
Our days are getting more and more prosperous......
How nice it would be if you were still alive......"
Yang Xiaoyan didn't dare to let Yang Laojiu and Lin Chunhua find out that she missed Zhou Qingjun, she was afraid that they would be angry because of it.
She turned her head before the fireworks were over, pointed to a firework in the sky, and said to Lin Chunhua: "This one is the biggest and most beautiful!" ”
Lin Chunhua asked, "Really?" I think each one is pretty much the same. ”
Zhou Mo, who saw Yang Xiaoyan's small movements clearly, sighed helplessly in her heart, and then cooperated with Yang Xiaoyan and said to Lin Chunhua: "My mother is right, the biggest and most beautiful flower just now!" ”
