In Su Qin's words, even if I have three hectares of land in Luoyang, how can I be worthy of the seal of the Six Kingdoms? This refers to the importance of land to the people.
"What kind of income is 100 yuan? I just sold the grain. All in all, I lost 120 yuan in one day. Seriously, I won't lie to you. Since last year, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, labor, including Diesel, petrol, prices have all gone up.”
"A bag of 120 kilograms of fertilizer has increased by 30 yuan. Gasoline and diesel have increased even more ridiculously when it comes to farming. Add in land rent, apportionment, canal construction in the village, and various equipment maintenance. I plant a The land lost almost 20,000 yuan every year.”
"I originally wanted to replace the big car outside with a new one, but why should I replace it now? They say joining the WTO will be good for us, but I don't see it. The price of food has also dropped, especially soybeans, which are not cheap anymore."
"Dong Lai, if there is a job suitable for us, please introduce it to me. My dad is also older and his body is not as good as yours. Don't look at how active he is every day.
"When I was young, I was tired from farming, but now I have to spend thousands of dollars on medicine every year. My children are about to go to school, and they spend a lot of money on food and drink. We can't go hungry at home."
Looking at Ji Heng chatting with Ji Feng's family in the main house, Ji Donghuan looked a little lonely.
Not knowing that firewood and rice are expensive, Ji Donghuanling heard that food prices would rise after the country joined the WTO, so Ji Donghuanling leased an additional 200 acres of land a year, adding to the original 500 acres, a total of 700 acres.
As a result, when the accounts were settled at the end of the year, Ji Donghuan found that he had not made any money. Ji Donghuan thought that the land allocated to him was too small, so he obtained 800 acres of land at once this year.
As a result, the loss was even greater. The whole family's livelihood depended on these lands. Seeing that there was no profit, Ji Donghuan, the young head of the family, couldn't stand it anymore.
"Dad, I want to eat spicy strips..."
Ji Donglai and Ji Donghuan were talking over there, and Ji Donghuan wanted to pay. Ji Donglai took out a hundred from his wallet and handed it to the little guy. Before Ji Donghuan's wife could stop him, the little guy had already grabbed the money and ran out.
"This kid is really ignorant. He just wants delicious food. Did you see that?"
Watching his son go out, Ji Donghuan looked at his wife, and then at Ji Donglai, with helplessness in his eyes. Children's world is carefree and they never realize the changes at home.
Farming has not made any money for two consecutive years, and the family has little savings, so something must change.
"Do you know any crafts?"
We are all a family. In the past few years, Ji Donglai didn't like to hear Ji Feng's bragging. Cousin Ji Donghuan and the two had a good relationship, so it was obvious that what he said was not false.
"I know how to drive a car, and I don't know much about other things. I am only half-assed when it comes to repairing farm machinery..."
When it came to skills, Ji Donghuan had a troubled look on his face. When he was farming to make money a few years ago, no one expected that the current situation would arise. Ji Donghuan and his wife played mahjong with the villagers when they had nothing to do.
As long as it doesn't rain heavily, the family won't have to worry about money. Now that the income from the land is declining, Ji Donghuan is forced to change.
"That……"
Ji Donghuan didn't know any skills. Unlike the skilled workers who had been working in his family for so many years, Ji Donghuan scratched his head and arranged for him to be sand-casting in the foundry?
It was a special type of work, and Ji Donglai didn't know what kind of physique the other party had. He couldn't explain it to his uncle if he really let the other party suffer from pneumoconiosis.
Over there at the processing plant? It's strange that Ji Donghuan didn't even graduate from elementary school and could understand the blueprints.
Ji Donglai tried to talk to the other party. Ji Donghuan didn't know what the solid and dotted lines meant, let alone the three views, let alone the details inside.
"Donglai, what are you two talking about?"
It was very late, and Ji Heng came back with his wife. Ji Donghuan didn't discuss anything with Ji Donglai, so he could only go home angrily.
"Dong Huan said that farming is not profitable, and now he wants to follow us to work in Hebei, but Dong Huan doesn't know anything. This is not easy to arrange!"
Thinking about Ji Donghuan, Ji Donglai scratched his head.
The relative opened his mouth and it was difficult for Ji Donglai to refuse, but it was really difficult to arrange. Especially for Ji Donghuan, who has never been out of the countryside, it will take a while just to change his mind, let alone adapt to the working environment of a factory.
My family farmed, and I could get up at any time, and I had to go to work when the time came. Ji Donghuan had been used to being lazy since he was a child, and his wife was not that diligent. Ji Donglai really couldn't think of what he could do.
"Well Dong Lai, why don't you let Dong Huan go collect scraps with your dad? Since Caiyun was taken away by the police last time, now she doesn't dare to go to the scrap collection place."
"Your dad is doing electricity and waste products, but he can't do it himself. Your grandpa will tie things up, and it's hard to look at the scales and calculate the accounts. It just so happens that Donghuan is a member of his family, so it's better to lose money over there than to farm at home. Strong?"
Ji Heng said nothing, but his wife spoke first. Ji Donglai was slightly startled, not to mention that this job was suitable for Ji Donghuan's family.
This does not require a high degree of education. First, let the other party follow his father's work and learn for a while, then let the other party do it alone, and finally sell the waste products to himself. As long as he can endure hardship, he can gradually start a business. .
The next day, Ji Donglai mentioned this idea to Ji Donghuan and his wife. Ji Donghuan looked a little ugly. After all, in rural areas, collecting rags is a relatively humble thing. The equipment they get is almost the same as that of beggars. Play a rattle.
"that……"
"Coming from the east, I think it will work. We don't have any skills, so this is a good job. It doesn't matter the season. We will go there after the Chinese New Year. The place we live in doesn't need to be a good place, as long as we can accommodate ourselves."
"We are almost begging for food these days, so why do we need any shame? There are a lot of children and old people, so we just go out to work. In the future, when we are rich, who will care whether we have shame or not."
"It's good to farm at home, but your cousin will go play mahjong with others whether you come or not. He exports several thousand a year. It's good to go over there and don't know anyone. I can do it too. As the head of the family, tell me something."
Unlike Ji Donghuan, Yu Xiaomi comes from a poor family and can endure hardships.
Now the other party knows the situation at home better than anyone else, and it won't last long if the family doesn't change. The key is that farming life is too leisurely, and Ji Donghuan often gambles.
Last year, they lost more than several thousand dollars. Because of this, Ji Donghuan and his wife had several fights. Not that both parents of the older generation knew each other, and they were both divorced.
After pinching Ji Donghuan, Ji Donghuan reluctantly agreed.
"What are we discussing? Come and kill the pig Donghuan. Don't be lazy!"
Several people from the village came, and a big black pig weighing five to six hundred kilograms was more than one or two people could take care of. Ji Donghuan hurried out to help.
"Squeak..."
A few minutes later, pigs growled outside, and Ji Heng and Ji Donglai ran out to help.
"boom!"
As Ji Donghuan went down with a pickaxe, the big black pig was completely silent. Ji Feng raised the knife and dropped it, and a large basin of pig blood was collected.
The black hair all over the body is poured with hot water and a layer is scraped off, and the pig skin is all black.
