Rebirth in 88 starts as a carpenter

Chapter 56: Giving up small wealth to do big things is a talent

"Isn't this deceiving?"

Wu Yuan stayed under the eaves of the corridor and muttered a complaint.

Yang Luoyan hugged Xiao Jiang and came out of the house after hearing the sound: "Why did you trick people?"

"Oh, I mean, there are so many cabbages and radishes, and you have to dig a cellar to hide them. It's a trap!"

Wu Yuan responded casually.

"Our family is lacking this." Yang Luoyan did not doubt that he was there, "Your second uncle's cousin came here specially."

"The one in Shangwei Village?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, that's cousin Gu Yuan."

Taking advantage of the gap between Yang Luoyan's name and the face in his mind, Wu Yuan pointed at the bacon and chicken and asked, "Where are these?"

"The bacon was brought here by Yan'er, the daughter-in-law of the Ming army. As for these chickens, they are from the daughter-in-law of the second Dong family in the west."

"Dong's second daughter-in-law?" Wu Yuan was slightly surprised. The two families had not spoken to each other for many years, so sending so many chickens all at once was really confusing.

Yang Luoyan then added: "These chickens always eat vegetables from our fields, so they were simply given to our family to raise."

Wu Yuan nodded: "His chickens are eating our food, and they will be slaughtered for soup tomorrow."

Yang Luoyan quickly stopped him: "Kill him for what? I still want to keep him."

Wu Yuan pointed to the two he brought back and said, "Would you like to raise them together with the two my third sister brought back?"

"Uh-huh."

"Then just put the chicken in the pig pen, and then I'll find a net to cover it and we'll be all alive."

"You don't have to look for that net. My mother said it's at home. You can go get it after a break."

It is impossible to rest.

You are young, why should you rest?

Wu Yuan first moved all the cabbage and radishes to the east room, and then pulled some straw from the haystack to cover it.

It was so cold in the evening that it was impossible to dig the soil, let alone a cellar.

I can only put it in the house like this first.

Wait until the weather warms up and dig again at noon.

After finishing his work, Wu Yuan found two unopened bottles of Yanghe Daqu from the cabinet in the main room, took them with him, and went straight to Secretary Yang's house.

Riding to the yard in one breath, Dahei wagged his tail at him, obviously knowing his status in this family.

After Wu Yuan parked the car, he saw his father-in-law coming out of the hall wearing a Chinese tunic suit and a cotton-padded jacket.

"Why are you here so late? Are you having trouble registering?" As he spoke, Party Secretary Yang saw the two bottles of wine at the front of Wu Yuan's car: "Why did you bring something here again? I just brought two fish this morning."

Wu Yuan took the wine down and explained: "This is all leftover from yesterday's full moon wine. I don't want to drink it if I leave it at home."

"Have you eaten?"

"No, I just got home. My neighbor and my third sister gave Luoyan some chickens to stew in soup to replenish his health. Luoyan insisted on raising them. Mom said you had that kind of net for raising chickens and asked me to come and get them.

"

"I'll bring it to you in a moment. Don't leave in a hurry. Come and have a drink with me."

Wu Yuan entered the room and took a look, good guy, two taels of peanuts, how can you drink it now?

"Dad, just wait a minute. I'll make some boiled fish. It'll be ready in a minute."

"Why are you doing that? We and I have no outsiders."

"The herring will almost freeze to death if left overnight. It's better to eat it while it's fresh. Don't worry, Dad, it'll be fine in a while."

Actually, this is nothing new.

Wu Yuan was really intolerant.

The mother-in-law completely abandoned the old man in order to raise a child for her daughter.

Fortunately, boiling fish in a basin of water was already something Wu Yuan was familiar with.

The two men were cooking fish and chatting at the same time.

When I sat down in the main room, there was not only a pot of fragrant boiled fish on the table, but also a plate of hawthorn cake to appetize and nourish the stomach.

Wu Yuan gave his father-in-law a cup full of money.

He also declared in advance: "Dad, we have something to say first. This is the cup today, three cups, and I won't drink a drop more."

Party Secretary Yang picked up the cup and invited his son-in-law, but said in a perfunctory tone: "I'll listen to you, let's drink this cup first."

Wu Yuan then filled his own cup, but did not pick it up and clink his glasses and said: "Dad, eat something hot first to warm your stomach and make up for your pain. Otherwise, if you drink too much, it will hurt your stomach too much."

"It's so unpleasant to drink wine!" Yang Zhishu said, still putting down the wine glass in his hand, picking up the chopsticks, aligning them on the table, picking up a piece of white and tender boiled fish, and started eating.

Once I eat it, I can't stop eating it.

It wasn't until my stomach was half full that I suddenly remembered: "We haven't drank this wine yet."

After a glass of wine, Yang Zhishu finally got to the point about his precious son-in-law.

"As for the factory, are you really determined to give 5% of your shares to four villages?"

Wu Yuan became even more determined when he thought about the upcoming heavy blow from private factories.

"What's the problem, Dad?"

"No problem!" Party Secretary Yang shook his chopsticks and said repeatedly: "Not only is there no problem, but this matter is done beautifully and openly!"

"Why don't you say it's your job to make money, and it's your job to get rich. This courage to sacrifice small fortunes and do big things is not something ordinary people can have. It's a talent! Dad is not wrong about you."

Wu Yuan let out a long breath.

It is better to give up a little money than to donate the factory to the village collective.

While talking, Old Yangtou drank another cup worth three cents, hoping to get through.

However, Wu Yuan was not stunned by his praise. Instead, he poured the wine with extra sobriety: "Dad, this is the last glass. Every drop will be gone."

After leaving his father-in-law's house, Wu Yuan returned home with a chicken net and used a flashlight to cover the two pig pens tightly.

Then he pulled a bunch of wheat straw and spread it in the pig pen, grabbed a handful of corn kernels and sprinkled it on the open space. Finally, he put the chickens in the pig pen, closed the door tightly, and called it a day.

As a result, something happened early the next morning.

There is one missing chicken, and it is the fattest old hen, which was brought back from the third sister's house.

Looking at the chicken net again, a big hole was opened by bites.

At first glance, it was Wong Tai Sin who did it.

Too careless.

Fortunately, the other six chickens did not take this opportunity to escape.

I am afraid that I was too frightened by Wong Tai Sin and did not dare to escape from the hiding place of the pig pen.

Wu Yuan re-sewed the chicken net, pushed all the chickens into one pigsty, made another pigsty free, and put Rhubarb and two little wolfdogs in.

In this way, the chicken designation is safe.

But it's hard to say about dogs.

As the New Year approaches, it is the time when dog thieves are rampant.

The only thing Wu Yuan was relieved about was that he had trained Dahuang and the two little wolfdogs into a good habit, that is, not to eat food given by outsiders.

It would be great if we could get two big geese.

Because besides being afraid of dogs, Wong Tai Sin is also afraid of geese.

As a result, Wu Yuan mentioned this casually in the factory, and Master Chen brought two geese home the next day.

He came in silently and offered help in times of need.

Wu Yuan quickly gave someone a filtered cigarette. Whether it was money or not was a trivial matter. Where could he find such thoughtfulness?

Now that there were chickens and geese, Yang Luoyan was so happy that she began to think about raising a group of ducks in the coming spring and they would be able to live together.

Okay, do you want to be a little expert in breeding?

But Wu Yuan didn't stop him either.

Because after adding chickens and geese, this house does have a bit more of a farmhouse atmosphere.

Good.
