  Chapter 48 Eight Zero Best Sister-in-law (48)

   It wasn't until Father Xu returned from work with everyone that Mother Xu came back to her senses.

   "Ouch, I have to hide."

  She stooped back to the house to hide the money.

  Xu Yin couldn't help laughing, and turned around to greet everyone: "Father, uncle, aunt, Uncle Song, Uncle Wen, don't stand there, wash your hands and sit down to eat. I also opened a bottle of wine. It's okay to drink at night."

   Father Xu watched helplessly as his daughter opened a bottle of the good wine brought by Tongcheng: "..."

  My heart is trembling with a bit of heartache.

  Xu Yin whispered to her father: "Father, I got back the final payment for our watermelon today. It's five hundred."

   "How much, how much?" Father Xu almost dropped the tea mug, his hands shaking violently.

   "Five hundred, plus the deposit up front, we sold two acres of watermelons for one thousand yuan. They also said they wanted the one acre of late-ripening melons, and there will be another five hundred yuan in the account."

   "Ouch..."

  He was overjoyed, a bottle of Lao Baigan suddenly felt relieved, and he called everyone to sit down and eat.

   "Try my girl's craftsmanship."

   "It looks good, Yinyin is really capable."

  Aunt Geng was very supportive, she really thought her husband's niece was a capable person.

   Not only good books, but also a business mind.

  Uncle Geng smiled cheerfully: "Yinyin has become a chef and can make so many delicious dishes."

   "Uncle, you haven't tasted it yet, so why do you think that what I cook must be delicious?"

  Uncle Geng thought to himself: Can it be delicious, so much meat!

  Song Bo and Uncle Wen are well-known experts in rice transplanting in the village. They have a lot of labor in their families. They can plant more than ten acres of paddy fields in less than a day.

   After the helper, he will have dinner at the owner's house, but this is the first time he has eaten such a rich dish like Xu's.

   After returning home that day, I told my wives:

"Guoshun's house is really different. Plant a rice seedling and invite you to eat. The dishes are better than some other people's banquets. Guess what we ate today? Mutton! You may not be able to eat it during the Chinese New Year, but Yin girl actually bought it. There are more pieces of meat in one pot than potatoes."

  Would the women of those two families not be envious after hearing this, and could not help encouraging the man: "How about, next year, our family will also reserve a few acres of mountain land to grow watermelons?"

   They have already raised the rice flower fish, but according to their observation, the most profitable one in the Xu family should be the watermelon.

  I didn’t see anyone driving a big truck to pull it. I paid 500 as a deposit for the melon order of two acres of land.

  The two families secretly decided to follow Father Xu to grow watermelons in the coming year.

  But they also know that although every family in the village knows how to grow watermelons, but whoever grows the best, it still belongs to Father Xu.

  After eating melons from his family, I don’t want to eat melons from my own family anymore.

  But these days, anyone who has some skills is hiding it, and whoever is so stupid teaches others. Did you teach others to let yourself starve to death?

  Thus, the two families thought of one place, chose an auspicious day to be a teacher, prepared a generous gift, and brought their youngest son to the old Xu's house to visit the teacher.

   As a master, you will not teach your apprentices, right?

  The two families arrived at Xu Yin's house almost at the same time. At the gate of the courtyard, you looked at me and I looked at you, and then smiled at each other.

  Fellowship! Like-minded people!

   I just don’t know if Father Xu will agree to accept the children of their two families as apprentices.

  Papa Xu is counting money with his wife in the house.

  Although it is not yet the end of the year, judging from the current income, it can be called a bumper harvest.

   Two acres of watermelon sold for 1,000 yuan, which is a lot.

  The early rice in the four-acre paddy field, except for the millet in the rice-fish symbiosis field, because the rice grains in this acre are big and full, and the taste is better than ordinary early rice.

  So I didn't plan to take out even a catty, I kept it for myself to eat slowly, and by the way, I consigned two hundred catties to Tongcheng's son.

  The output of the remaining three mu was sold to the grain station, and the income was two hundred and one.

  Finally, more than 200 rice flower fishes were sold for 157, with a total income of 1,367.

  Four-figure annual income, Xu's mother has never seen it before, and never thought about it.

  Besides, this is only the harvest in the first half of the year, and there will be late rice, late-maturing watermelon, and late autumn vegetables waiting for them to harvest!

  Xu's mother smiled from ear to ear: "Old man, I said you are right to listen to your daughter, otherwise you will be tired and you won't be able to earn so much money."

   "Yes, yes, I will always listen to my daughter." Father Xu also grinned.

  At this time, Xu Song and Xu Yaowen came to the door.

  Mother Xu hurriedly put the money into the wooden box with a lock made by her daughter, hid it in the hole in the wall, and followed Father Xu out.

   "What? Ask me to be your teacher to learn how to grow watermelons?" Father Xu was a little confused after hearing the intentions of the two families, "What is so easy to learn about growing melons?"

  Xu Yin guessed it a little bit. Most likely because she saw that growing watermelons made money, she wanted to plant them with her father, but she was too embarrassed to come to ask for seeds, so she simply sent her son to apprentice.

"Brother Guoshun, this kid in our family can't do anything else. He can do some field work neatly. In the future, he will do all the heavy and tiring work. You don't need to teach him. Let him stay by your side and watch you He can do whatever he wants, and how much he can learn depends on his own talent."

"That's right, our family's Tie Jun is the same. I wanted him to follow Jianjun to study at night school, but this kid is not a scholar, and he doesn't want to go outside to learn crafts, so he just stays at home and farms. I understand now. This kind of land is not all the same, there is a lot of difference in how well it is planted, let him follow you as a helper, you can learn as much as you can, don't expect to get rich, just make a living, and find a partner in the future..."

  Father Xu shook his head sincerely: "I don't have anything to teach you. Both of you have grown watermelons, so there's really no need to learn from Master."

"Necessary, necessary." Xu Song and Xu Yaowen rushed to express their opinions, "Brother Guoshun, you can take these two boys. You see, your Jia Zhinian has been in the army for many years, and you don't come back many times. Yin girl is also going soon. The emperor has gone to university, and there will only be you and your sister-in-law in the family, so it's tiring to be busy with so many things, so let them follow you."

   "That's right, let them do whatever work you have, even more errands."

  Xu Yin's heart moved when she heard this.

  After she starts school in September, there will be only two elders left in the family.

Four acres of paddy fields and three acres of dry land don't seem like much. Others have more than a dozen or twenty acres, but there are only two people, and hiring people or asking uncles and aunts for help during busy farming is only temporary, or let them go. Dad accepts two apprentices?

After thinking for a while, she said carefully, "Father, is there any dry land in our village that no one is planting? If there is, I would like to contract it. Let's plant a few acres of watermelon, and then hire Brother Mancang and Brother Tiejun to help. After the melons are sold, I will pay the two brothers a commission. What do you think?"

  Father Xu was stunned for a moment, feeling that his daughter was a little drifting, and the watermelons on the three-acre land sold for a good price, so he wanted to contract all the idle land in the village.
