Chapter 59 Prosperity
Pull Pull...
There was a sound of wings striking randomly. The yellow bird did not resist Su Zi's temptation. Finally, it stepped on the tent, then fell into a trap, was captured together, and became a cage bird.
"Oh! It's great, I'm caught..." Xiao Baoer cheered.
"Haha, I decided to stay, it's so right..." Old Huang was also excited. On the first day, he made a red door open, which was so exciting.
"Please, I decided to stay, okay? Some people seemed to be scared by cats..." Lao Liu couldn't help but interrupt, which made Lao Huang feel a little embarrassed.
The yellow bird caught it, and the tree planting activities that were suspended because of the yellow bird were caught were carried out again. When it was almost noon, the pomegranate tree was finally planted.
"Oh, I remembered it. It seems that the greenhouse in our house has not been opened for several days, right?" Wei Qingqing suddenly thought of her own greenhouse.
"No?" Yang Ming also remembered, "You go home to cook, I'll go see..." There hasn't been sunshine for two days, so the seedlings must be covered with yellow?
Yang Ming went directly to the greenhouse and went into the greenhouse to see that, sure enough, there was no sunshine in two days, and the seedlings were all tender yellow. Fortunately, it was only two days before, and the yellow color was not obvious. Yang Ming quickly opened the greenhouse and let them see the sunshine.
After half an hour of busyness, he finally opened the greenhouses. Yang Ming sat on the ground, panting when he was tired: "No! This job is too tiring, so he should hire a few people to help."
"If you want to hire people, it is best to buy a few biochemical people, but biochemical people are not humans. If you keep them next to you, you can only hire a few crops in the village and discuss with Qingqing when you go home... By the way, there seems to be a plant elf in my warehouse..." Yang Ming thought, and suddenly thought that he had bought a plant elf.
Yang Ming directly took out the plant elf. It was a small animal that looked like a mouse. It was the size of a domestic cat. It was covered with black and gray fur without any variegated color. The fur was shiny, the body was round, rolling, short and thick, the limbs were thick and powerful, and the tail was slender and fluffy.
The head is round, the nose is pointed, the little eyes are shining black, and the two round ears are erect on the top of the head. There are long hairs on the tip of the ears. The two big front teeth are bare. The two front paws are habitually holding their mouths, and the mouth keeps moving, as if they are eating something.
Yang Ming looked at the plant elf carefully and felt that it was really cute. He tentatively reached out his hand. The little guy didn't escape. His hand slowly touched its body, felt the scalp and softness of its body, pinched the armpits under its two front legs, and gently hugged it upright.
"It feels so comfortable. If I can peel it and make a leather coat..." Yang Ming was fantasizing in his heart, but before he could finish fantasizing, the little guy's belly suddenly bulged, and then he sprayed his saliva on Yang Ming's head and face.
"Gee, lord, master, the plant elf is also called gray-spirited rat. It is very spiritual and most sensitive to danger. She likes to play tricks. You must have not thought of a good thing just now..." In the farm space, Yaya was cheering with her belly in her arms.
"This bastard..." Yang Ming put the little guy down, quickly wiped his face, spread his hands open, saw that his hands were filled with mucus and two strange-shaped seeds.
"Squeak squeak..." The little thing didn't run away, but stood up instead, covering his front legs, squeaking, just like a thief laughing. The big tail behind him was still swaying.
"What kind of seed is this?" Yang Ming asked Yaya with curiousness.
"Oh, these are the seeds of the cream tree and the golden tree." Yaya screamed.
"What?" Yang Ming raised his eyebrows.
"Cream trees and golden trees are unique to the planet Site. Of course, their real names are not called cream trees and golden trees. Cream trees and golden trees are translated in Chinese. Let's talk about cream trees first. As the name suggests, the cream trees grow in cream trees have the same taste and taste as cream, so it is named. Cream trees have very good effects for beauty and beauty. It only takes two years for seeds to bear fruit from germination. The golden trees have a trunk and are golden all over. The golden fruits produced have the effect of stimulating the secretion of growth hormones and can accelerate animal growth. It has a very good effect on treating human dwarfism. It takes three years for seeds to bear fruit from germination to fruiting." Yaya explained.
"No one is rich without wealth, no horse is not fat without night grass, picking up bargains is the shortcut to getting rich." Yang Ming's eyes were so bright that he looked at the plant elves, like a wolf staring at his prey, scaring the plant elves to death, and he was about to run away. However, Yang Ming was quick-eyed and took two steps at once, pressing the little guy to the ground, "Your fur coat can't run away..."
"Puff puff puff..." Sure enough, the little guy's stomach kept bulging, then turned his head and spit at Yang Ming. He didn't know how much he ate, but he actually spit out a few more seeds.
"Ah, they are all cream tree species. This little thing doesn't feed on cream fruits, right?" Yaya shouted in surprise.
Finally, after vomiting a few times, the little thing was so strong that he could no longer spit out any more. Yang Ming let it go and picked up the seeds on the ground happily. After slashing for a long time, he picked up a total of 29 seeds, plus the previous one, which was exactly 30. Yang Ming collected all 30 cream tree seeds and a golden tree seed into the farm space, and asked Yaya to plant them in the orchard.
"You will call Wangcai in the future... Do you understand?" Yang Ming happily stroked the little guy's smooth fur and gave him a very shocking name, "Yaya, is this little thing a male or a female?"
"Master..." Yaya said.
"Yaya, in the sales system, buy a female gray-spirited rat and make a companion for it." Yang Ming ordered, and picked up the little thing: "In view of your outstanding contributions to the master, the master will reward you well, so I will give you a companion."
In a short while, Yaya bought a gray-spirited rat with a slightly slender figure, which was a female. As soon as Yang Ming took out this female, Wangcai stopped changing. His small black eyes stared at the female, and his saliva flowed down.
The female gray rat glanced at Wangcai with contempt, and her big tail sucked over, causing Wangcai's nose to swollen. The head of the little nose quickly turned red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was almost the same as a clown's nose. However, this little thing was not unhappy at all. Instead, she kicked her limbs and screamed in excitement.
"Why does this guy feel a little mean?" Black lines appeared on Yang Ming's forehead.
"In the world of gray-spirited rats, gray-spirited rats will never come into contact with non-companied opposite sexes. This female gray-spirited rat used her tail to draw Wangcai, which means that it is also interesting to Wangcai, so Wangcai is so excited." Yaya explained.
"So that's the case?" Yang Ming walked home with two gray rats.
When he got home, Yang Ming was walking on the back door. The front and back doors of the outer room were open, and the smoke and water vapor surged out along the open door. Wei Qingqing wore an apron and fryed vegetables by the pot with a spatula. Liu Nannan followed the fire. Xiao Baoer was watching TV in the room while cutting apples with a small fruit knife, and was about to make a fruit plate.
The two old men were strolling in the front yard and savoring the persimmon tree. By the way, the persimmon tree that became the tree of life has extremely tenacious vitality. The fruits grown are bigger than in previous years. They are like green lanterns, and the branches are bent. No wonder Grandma Baoer picked one of them.
"Ah...what is in your hand?" Wei Qingqing heard Yang Ming's footsteps and turned her head to see the two 'big rats' in his hand. She couldn't help but scream.
Wei Qingqing screamed, attracting everyone's eyes. Even Xiao Baoer ran out of the inner room with a small fruit knife.
"Haha, nothing, I caught them in the field. Look at them very cute. I will take them back as pets. Don't look at them like mice, they are actually not mice..." Yang Ming said with a smile.
"Yes, the mouse is not that big, it looks a bit like a badger, but his head..." Old Huang was attracted by the attention and frowned and surrounded him.
"What's the badger like? What's your eyes? The badger's head is pointed and there are patterns on his back. Besides, the badger's size is a circle bigger than this." Old Liu also came over curiously.
"Isn't they a cub? Besides, I only said that it looks like a body, but I didn't say it is." Lao Huang said.
"Isn't it really a mouse?" Wei Qingqing was frightened by the mouse twice and was particularly sensitive to this thing.
"Sister Qingqing, this is really not a mouse. Look at their hair, how long is it. The mice here are all short-haired." Liu Nannan said.
Liu Nannan is only four years younger than Wei Qingqing. From Baoer, she should call Wei Qingqing an aunt, but she really can't call her a woman who is only four years older than her. Even Wei Qingqing felt uncomfortable when she heard a girl who is four years younger than her calling her an aunt, so both of them had a tacit understanding... Let's have their own relationship.
"Well! It's better if you're not a mouse. Now the one I'm afraid of is the mouse." Wei Qingqing patted her chest and gave Yang Ming a blank look. "If you want to keep it, just put it in a cage and don't let them get into the quilt at night."
"Isn't it enough for me to make a nest for them? The couple stayed together at night, so why did they get into the bed if they had nothing to do?" Yang Ming took two gray rats and went to the front yard, placed them in the east wing room, and made a cardboard box to make a nest for them.
"Yang Ming, do you have a lot of pets? They are cats and dogs, pigeons and parrots..." Lao Huang followed Yang Ming into the east wing.
"What a lot? Is this called too much? As the old saying in China, six animals are prosperous, and a family must raise at least six kinds of livestock to be considered a well-off family." Old Liu said behind.
"What's the point?" Yang Ming grabbed the weeds and stuffed them into the cardboard box, put two gray-spirited rats in it. The two small things got into the nest and curled up into a ball.
"There are many statements. Six animals are cattle, horse, sheep, dog, pig, chicken, cattle are used for farm work, horses are means of transportation, sheep can produce milk and hair, dogs can come to the house to protect the yard, pigs are fattened, killed and eaten meat, chickens are used to lay eggs to report the dawn. It can be said that these six animals are related to people's food, clothing, housing and transportation. In the past, people raised six kinds of animals at home, so it was easy to get married." Lao Liu explained.
Cattle can also be used as vehicles, but they cannot get faster. Therefore, some people say they are from five animals.
"Our family also raises pigs, but they are scattered into the mountains. We have tractors and farm tools for farm work. We have cars for transportation, and the rest are sheep. However, we have ducks and geese, duck eggs and goose eggs, and the nutrition is not worse than milk. At that time, we will get some duck down and goose velvet to keep warmer than wool. Therefore, our family is also prosperous." Yang Ming said with a smile.
"...It's really the case..." Old Liu thought for a while, nodded and said.
After lunch, Liu Nannan left and helped his aunt go to the field to work. Lao Huang and Lao Liu also left. They wanted to find a temporary place to live in Zhengjia Village. Only Yang Ming, Wei Qingqing and Xiao Baoer were left at home.
"Baoer, tell me, what happened today? What happened in the past two days when your godmother and I were not there?" The three of them sat on the head of the kang leaning against the quilt, Yang Ming sat on the edge of the kang, Wei Qingqing and Xiao Baoer sat on the edge of the kang, watching TV together, Yang Ming asked.
"Grandma wants to take me away and not let my mother and I go to my grandma's house..." Xiao Baoer was young after all, and she didn't know what the mother and grandma were quarreling about. As for the real reason, Mrs. Liu would never tell her daughter.
"What did the mother and grandma say?" Wei Qingqing asked.
"I don't know either. They always play puzzles. I can't understand what's gone, nothing, and it's gone, and it's gone again and again." Xiao Baoer said.
"What's there, there, there, there, there, there, and there? Do you understand?" Yang Ming asked.
"I don't understand..." Wei Qingqing shook her head.
"If you don't understand, don't understand. Let's ask Mrs. Liu tonight," said Yang Ming: "I want to hire a few people in the village to help us build a greenhouse. What do you think?"
"Okay, I think it's pretty good. We both have to work on that thing all day long, so we're so tired..." Wei Qingqing said.
"You and Baoer take a nap at home. I'll go to the brigade to check it out and let the loudspeaker broadcast it for us." Yang Ming said, getting off the kang and putting on his shoes.
"How many people do you plan to recruit and how much salary do you pay in a month?" Wei Qingqing asked.
"Recruit six people, 800 yuan a month, two people work for a long time. During the slack season, it is our busy time to recruit four temporary workers." Yang Ming sorted out his clothes, turned around and walked out.
"People are careful, members are careful... Yang Ming's field in the village has recruited people, Yang Ming's field in the village has recruited people... Four temporary workers, four temporary workers, two long-term workers, two long-term workers... The temporary workers' work period is slack for four months, the temporary workers' work period is slack for four months, one long-term workers' work period is slack for four months, one long-term workers' work period is slack for one year, one long-term workers' work period is 800 yuan per month, and eight hundred yuan per month..."
In a short while, the village loudspeaker rang out the radio of Yang Ming's family recruiting. Everyone who was working in the field and taking a nap on the kang all leaned their necks and listened carefully.
"The guy in this city is so funny. He only has two acres of land and is so embarrassed to hire people. If you can't plant it, don't plant it..."
"It's so much money that I burned. How much grain can I get from two acres of land? The slack season is four months a year, and you have to go out for 4,800 yuan a month, which will cost about 20,000 yuan. With two long-term work months, you will have to get more than 30,000 yuan a year. If you have two acres of land, it's good to get from five,000 yuan a year."
"This guy in the city is really careless..."
The villagers of Zhengjia Village have risen to a higher level of view on Yang Ming, but everyone is also excited. This job is indeed quite attractive. During the slack season, if you can get a salary, you can have a fat New Year at the end of the year, right?
This afternoon, Yang Ming's family went to the house one after another, and they were all interested in this job.
The geographical shape of Zhengjia Village can actually be regarded as a valley, but this valley is relatively large. The valley in the middle is flat and soft, and there is a small river flowing along the castration of the valley, which is very suitable for planting. Therefore, the villagers' land is concentrated in the valley, but they build houses on the edge of the mountain.
In the stick of Liu's wife, the little girl Liu Nannan was absent-minded while beating the stick. She quickly calculated, "800 yuan a month, 9,600 yuan a year. My brother's school tuition plus miscellaneous expenses cost 7,800 yuan. My parents borrowed money everywhere. I'm afraid the tuition for every year will be indispensable. If I can work for him for a long-term job, wouldn't I be able to support my brother's schooling? In two years, I will participate in high school again.
If you take the exam, you don’t have to worry about getting into college and not having money to go to college..." The little girl had a little secret in her heart, that is, this year’s college entrance examination, she deliberately did a few wrong questions and did not get into the exam. However, the little girl was very good at studying. Even if she deliberately calculated a few questions, she was admitted to a second-rate university by one point. When she saw the difference of one point, the little girl was frightened. If the brother and sister were admitted to college at the same time, wouldn’t the family be so stupid?
"Oh!" Liu Nannan absent-mindedly clutched the stick, suddenly felt a pain in his fingers, and quickly screamed in pain, and retracted her hand. It turned out that she had cut her fingers by a broken corn stalk, and red blood raked out of her fingers.
"Nan Nan, what's wrong?" Mrs. Liu crawled out of the green gauze tent.
"It's okay, cut your fingers..." Liu Nannan said, peeling off the outer skin of the straw, smearing the white frost on the wound, and the blood slowly stopped. Generally speaking, when doing farm work, if there is any cut, it will be simply treated on the spot and then continued to work.
"Be careful, no matter how absent-minded you are, you won't care about food at night..." Mrs. Liu gave the little girl a little angrily.
"Ah? Aunt, you are the evil exploiting class, the annoying landlord..." Liu Nannan immediately looked bitter.
"Hmph, you little girl, I don't know you yet? Do you want to do a long-term job?..." Mrs. Liu gave her niece a blank look.
"Ah? How do you know?" Liu Nannan's mouth widened in surprise.
