Time flies when people have something to do. Even when you are taking care of a child, you feel that time is very difficult. Why does this little kid not sleep?
But when you look back, you realize that several months have passed without you realizing it. Xiao Wenchen's Full Moon Wine seemed to have just been held not long ago, and the Hundred Days Banquet seemed to be just around the corner.
"Let's not do all the big things. At the beginning of the year, everyone is busy. Visiting relatives, visiting relatives, and going out to work after visiting relatives. So the Hundred Days Banquet is just for us to sit down and have a meal together as a family and enjoy ourselves. Forget it." Yang Dongxu said.
Although he doesn't have a beard, his face in his twenties still looks a bit immature, but with children, he is already the mainstay of the family, and his words carry a bit more weight than before, especially when it comes to his children. In fact, Father Yang and Mother Yang rarely disobey his wishes. Of course, the fact that he loves his grandson is definitely outside the scope.
"Those gifts..." Yang's mother was a little worried.
After all, a child's 100-day banquet is also a happy event, and gifts are ready to be delivered to your door. It would be unreasonable for you not to invite them to a meal.
"I will inform the people who gave the gifts that we have no plans to hold the Hundred Days Banquet and tell them not to worry about it. We will send these gifts back to them after they are done with this period of time." Yang Dongxu said.
It's obviously not possible to return it as it is. It is estimated that no one will take it back, which would be a bit of a slap in the face. After all, the people who can afford to give gifts are either close friends or wealthy businessmen who don't care about the value of these gifts at all.
So when you return the gift, you must ask someone to help inquire about it. If the other party has any happy events, you have to return the gift yourself, so that there are no big mistakes in etiquette. As for whether it is cooperation or whether they can become friends, that is another matter. , does not necessarily have to be involved with these things.
"Then let's do this, invite your brother-in-law's family to have a meal together, your grandparents' family will join in the fun if they come, and the relatives at the front door will come to congratulate the whole family and sit down to have a meal together, and forget about the rest." Yang Dad made the final decision.
Although Yang's mother has the final say in most of the family matters, it is obvious that Yang's father has more say in such big matters. Grandparents, old man Xuan, and his father-in-law also have to step aside. After all, he is Xiao Wenchen's grandfather. Other relationships are definitely inferior to this one, not to mention that Yang Dongxu, the father, also speaks.
The 100-day banquet was decided, and Yang Dongxu began to take his wife's family to visit relatives. There was no way he could avoid this. After all, people come to the door with gifts every year. Even if you are not at home, you must take your wife with you at home. The child is visiting relatives.
And if you have children, it’s not good not to take them with you. If other people want to take their children to spend their New Year’s money, after all, apart from New Year’s goods, New Year’s money is the bulk of their expenses every year.
The Yang family obviously hasn't gotten to the point where they have to take their children to visit relatives to repay the new year's money. They can even go by themselves according to Yang Dongxu's wishes. Zhou Ya and the children continue to recuperate at home. After all, it's quite cold at the beginning of the year and it's not winter yet.
But even if your family is not short of money, coming to your home without your children will make the other person feel that you look down on him. In other words, when you are poor, you take your children to visit relatives. If others say you are using your children to get some new year's money, if your relatives are as poor as you, they will express happiness on the surface, but secretly they don't know how to scold you.
When your family is rich, you don't care about the New Year's money at all. You think about your wife and children and hope they don't suffer and don't take them with you to visit relatives. Some people are starting to think about whether your family looks down on them because they are rich. What does it mean to visit relatives at the beginning of the year and not even take the children with you?
So sometimes people’s thoughts are so weird!
Yang Dongxu, a visiting relative, drives his father's pickup truck, not because he wants to be low-key and not show off. But today's rural areas are not connected to each other in later generations. Although the roads in Yangjia Village are well built, many relatives' villages have not built roads.
It is true that the specially customized Daben is very valuable, but when faced with the complicated road conditions in rural areas, let alone the customized Daben, even the limited edition Daben is hard to say and is more durable than a pickup truck.
"Haven't we been hearing about road construction in the past few years? Why hasn't it been built yet?" Zhou Ya asked, holding her son and shaking her head in the passenger seat.
"I heard that these two words mean nothing in the countryside about the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. As long as the date is specified in a clear document, everything you hear is unreliable." Although Yang Dongxu did not live in the countryside for long in this life, he was very familiar with it in his previous life. This situation can be said to be Men Qing'er.
"That means you don't want to practice anymore?"
"Not necessarily, let's see what the higher-ups think. There are many villages that are important and cash crops. If the leaders above have the courage to directly borrow money to build roads, then all roads to the countryside can be built in the next two years.
If they don't have the courage and just look at the funds in the financial accounts to order, they will probably have to wait a few years. Yang Dongxu said.
"What if during the harvest season, the harvest from the village cannot be transported out and rot in the fields?" Zhou Ya asked.
"Since this is the main responsibility of farmers, who told you not to carry it out on your shoulders? As long as you pay a lot of public grain, these problems will not be a problem."
"Why, now you're a father and you're an angry young man again?" Zhou Ya looked sideways at her husband.
"I'm going to complain quickly, but this is a fact, but it's not entirely the case. Our city is relatively better, especially in the past few years, where specialty agriculture has developed very well. It can be said that I have both face and face. Now that we have seen hope , no one wants to give up such an opportunity.”
"Why does it still sound a bit sarcastic?" Zhou Ya smiled slightly.
"This is not sarcasm, it's a fact. You can't let everyone be a saint without asking for anything in return. Officials manage the local area well, and then they are appreciated by the superiors and get promotion opportunities. This is a mutually beneficial thing. I am not sarcastic. ." Yang Dongxu said.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Zhou Ya rolled her eyes. She knew better than anyone the small farmer mentality and angry youth genes in her husband's heart after living together for so many years.
But there is nothing wrong with this. Everyone has their own emotions. It would be too hypocritical to hide something if you can.
There are many relatives, and I have to visit several houses a day. Some are close to each other and I have to visit several houses at once. Many of them just bring a bag to the house and count it as a visit, then go to the next house, and finally have a meal at one house. In the afternoon, they go from house to house. Collect the bag, collect the new year's money and go home.
After all this hard work, it won’t be until the ninth day of the first lunar month that all the relatives have left. If one family is leaving, it will probably be the twentieth day of the first lunar month.
After visiting relatives, the Yang family started to get busy. What was busy was not the Lantern Festival, but also the wedding of twenty-year-old girl Dandan. The date was originally set for the first lunar month, but because there were too many things to do before the new year, it was postponed to after the new year. The date was set on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the third day after the Lantern Festival.
"Have you decided what to do?" In the courtyard of the old house, Xiaocheng, the lover of the younger sister, was sitting opposite him. The younger sister was originally accompanying Zhou Ya and her children upstairs, but she also came down after hearing his words.
Although the younger sister has not suffered much since she was a child, and her usual personality is a bit carefree, she still has some intentions, especially when she tries to trick her brother.
At this time, she was obviously afraid of her husband-to-be, and she was a little unsure of her brother's temper and dared not speak, so she prepared to come down and say it herself. Anyway, others were afraid of her brother, but she was not afraid. My brother is so rich, so he must ask for more. Anyway, my sister-in-law is also very nice and won't get angry.
"Just build that reservoir, but we have never raised fish before and don't know how to do it." The younger sister said.
"Then find someone to learn from you first, and ask more experts for advice and let me arrange it. In fact, if you don't focus on quantity but focus on characteristics, fish farming will not be so troublesome.
There is no need to think about adding medicine to the feed to make it grow too fast. At the beginning of each year, just put a batch of fry in according to the size of the reservoir, occasionally get some grass leaves, and feed some feed from time to time.
Others raise fish for one year and then sell them, but you raise them for two or three years. If you don't do those messy things, the fish can be regarded as semi-wild and have good disease resistance, so they don't have so many worries. "
"It only takes two or three years to sell a batch of fish. How much money can you make?" The little girl curled her lips.
"It all depends on who you sell to, and now there are large rivers in rural areas with water and small ditches that are not dry. It is not uncommon for fish to be everywhere. But in two years when the environment deteriorates, wild fish will be rare."
The fish raised by others sell for three or four yuan per catty. You can sell it for seven or eight yuan, or even higher. On average, you can make a lot of money in a year.
Let’s talk about a batch of fish being produced in two or three years. It does not mean that it takes two or three years to buy a batch of fish. It took so long to save money in the first two or three years.
Fish fry are put into it according to the proportion every year, and the fish grow up and reproduce on their own. By the fourth year, you can buy a batch a year, and you can make more money by selling them at a higher price than others. Yang Dongxu said.
"It's so expensive, will anyone buy it?" the little girl continued to ask.
"No one wants to sell it to rural people. After all, as long as rural people have meat to eat, they don't care so much about fish. Even if the water in the small ditch dries up, there is still water in the river, so they can fish for themselves, or go fishing It doesn't matter if you catch him.
There is no need to buy fish at the market, so these are sold to those in the city. In short, the wilder the price, the more they like it, so you don’t have to worry about sales.
And in addition to fish, you can also raise some old turtles and so on. There is no need to use nets to keep them in the wild, and they should be kept as semi-wild as possible. You should invest five years in this thing first, and then you can count the money. "
'Bawangbie Chicken' is definitely a tough dish, especially the big rooster that has been raised in the countryside for several years and the aged turtle. It is an absolute tonic. Even in an ordinary farmhouse, a dish starts at at least 500. If you can get it The Yang Family Banquet starts at 1,000.
So if you want to make more money, then get a farmhouse, and buy chicken, duck, etc. Your brother-in-law has a farm there, and you also have a pig farm at home, so you can just bring it there.
If you want to save trouble, just buy the raw materials. Although you will make a little less, you can only be busy when catching and manage the rest of the time.
