After August 13th, admission notices from junior colleges began to be issued one after another.
On August 16th, my cousin Ke Shumin got her wish and received the admission notice from Jiashi Normal College, majoring in special education.
The morning after receiving the notice, the whole family came to the father-in-law's house to announce the good news. The Ke family planned to hold a small college entrance banquet on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Grandma You's birthday.
"Come on, Xiaoyu, this is a gift from my uncle. Thank you for the appetizing radish before the exam and for helping Shumin choose a good major after the exam."
Ke Qingguo made a special trip to give a gift to his niece for the first time, and he gave her a blue Nokia 2100.
The black and white screen and the price of one thousand dollars are considered a great gift.
Before You Yu could refuse, Ke Shumin had already helped her unpack:
"Sister, my dad bought two of them, one for each of us. Don't take them away! When I go to school, we can still send each other text messages!"
Grandma You complained that her son-in-law was spending money indiscriminately, saying that she had a landline at home and there was no need to get a mobile phone.
Unable to help it, Ke Shumin unpacked the phone in a few moments, and enthusiastically helped You Yu install the card with a good number that she helped pick out.
"Sister, the last four digits of your mobile phone number are 1688. Does that sound right? Send it all the way!"
"Not bad, not bad, sister, you made a good choice!" If this number were in Guangdong Province, you would have to pay more to buy it.
Nokia 2100, fate.
The first mobile phone she ever owned in her life, she had used it for five full years, and the greedy snake could beat the elders...
Seeing that there was another college student among his grandchildren, the old man was very happy and gave his granddaughter a big red envelope worth 800 yuan.
He also told Grandma You to prepare some more appetizers, and he wanted to have a drink with his uncle for lunch.
The maid You Fengying and Grandma You were busy in the kitchen. You Yu took her cousin and Pangpang to the field to pick tomatoes.
"Ms. Min, all the tomatoes were knocked down by the storm, so you can only eat the last green tomatoes!"
The tomatoes with broken vines shrunk by half, and many of them were picked by Manager Jiang before they were even seven-year-old.
Pangpang feels that tomatoes are more delicious when eaten as fruit when they are ripe.
"Ah? Green tomatoes!" Ke Shumin was very depressed. She had planned to sit in the tomato field and eat her fill today.
"You can eat it when it's seven ripe. If you come two days later, the green tomatoes will be almost gone! Cut into thin slices and stir-fry with sea pepper. It's crispy and sour! Pair it with the new rice that was just harvested this year. Why don't you make two big bowls of it?" , I don’t even have the last name You!”
"Zi Liu..." After hearing her cousin's description, Ke Shumin started to drool in dismay.
I walked around the tomato field, but I didn't find any red ones. I could only pick about ten kilograms of seven-year-old tomatoes.
After returning home, she almost asked the unsuspecting You Fengying to give her daughter a good beating.
"Little girl, little girl, my green tomatoes are also delicious. All the ripe ones are sold out!" You Yu quickly broke up the fight and gave the little girl a way to eat the northerners.
You Fengying was doubtful: "Didn't you say that green tomatoes are poisonous?"
"Green tomatoes contain alkaloids. If they are eaten raw, they will cause abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting and other minor poisoning. It is okay to eat them after they are cooked, but the taste will be sour."
You Yu, a high school student, said that she had checked this question and could solve it.
Talk to the teacher and get a positive look in your eyes.
The mistress kept nodding her head, and even rolled her eyes at her daughter several times.
Long live the spoiler who got the notice. Ke Shumin: Can you tell if it’s poisonous or not? I’ll take one and show it to you.
Diarrhea, diarrhea is good! Just treat it as diarrhea and lose weight.
I made up my mind to take a bag of green tomatoes back and eat them raw.
You Fengying also brought a lot of delicious food back to her parents' home, and the women and children crowded in the kitchen to help make lunch.
Ke Qingguo was drinking tea with his old father-in-law and setting up the Dragon Gate Formation.
Due to heavy rains, vegetable farmers in more than 30 villages in Jiang County have been affected this year.
In response to such a natural disaster, the county provides some subsidies to farmers in the most severely affected villages.
But for villages like Yougoubian Village, which is relatively affluent, subsidies cannot be provided to them.
After helping my father-in-law analyze the disaster situation in the county, he also explained the conditions that need to be met for subsidies.
Ke Qingguo originally wanted to comfort his father-in-law, but he didn't expect the old man to wave his hands after hearing a few words:
"You can also grow radishes for a whole season of autumn vegetables. My family has only ten acres of land. Seeds are free of charge. After all other considerations, it only costs about 2,000 yuan. Even if the price of radishes rises to one yuan per catty, we can still earn eight acres."
The accounts were unclear, and with the money from the pre-sale of tomato seedlings, the fire that arose due to the heavy rain had long since disappeared without a trace.
Qing is looking forward to making another big fortune in the fall.
There are so many farmer brothers who are in more difficult circumstances than them, and he really doesn't hesitate to fight for hundreds of thousands of yuan in subsidies.
Ke Qingguo nodded repeatedly after hearing this. His father-in-law was a capable and understanding man.
Not to mention the entire Jiang County, even the vegetable province he knew rarely had vegetables and fruits with such high economic benefits.
My wife’s brother-in-law’s family are all talented people! Especially the little niece, it’s really nice.
His uncle You Lijun, whom he missed, called him that night and inquired about the old man's autumn planting plan.
The old man angrily scolded his son: "Donkeys in the production team need to take a break after autumn. Your father and I have planted two seasons of grain and two seasons of vegetables. You actually want me to plant autumn vegetables?!"
Youli Military Commission felt aggrieved: "Listen to me..."
"Bah!" It was quite satisfying to hang up the phone. The old man secretly competed with his son.
Humph, don't think that after working in the capital city for a year, he would not earn as much as a bad old man with his foot halfway in the coffin!
If You Yu knew her father's ambition, she would have spent her own money to help her father realize his dream.
However, the old man's love for his son is very deep, and she has not felt it yet.
After scolding the turtle son, the old man immediately started planting radishes.
Uncle Ye is also gearing up.
When You Yu's family hired people to dig the land, he studied and watched the whole process.
The old man was also freed from manual labor and became the technical commander-in-chief.
Buying manure, plus asking someone to help plow the land, apply fertilizer and sow seeds, costs more than 200 points per acre of land.
The hilly soil in Lianhe Village is poor and crusty, and the cost of plowing the land is twice as expensive as that in Youyujia.
Including seed money, one acre of land costs an average of 400 yuan.
You Yu sells his uncle's seeds for forty yuan per catty.
According to her opinion, in fact, her uncle would only need one hundred yuan (three pounds) of seed money for one acre of land. Uncle Ye did not want his niece to suffer a loss.
After arguing for a long time, we settled on such a price.
I also rounded up Youyu’s remaining seeds and planned to plant fourteen acres of them.
After discussing with You Yu, we staggered the sowing dates. You Yu’s radish harvest is expected to be in mid-September, while his family’s harvest is scheduled for early October.
You Yu gave Uncle Ye a thumbs up: The cost was 5,600 yuan, so she invested immediately. Her uncle is a daredevil!
Uncle Ye: I have an intuition that I am going to get rich soon...
