The happy little days of the Ye family

After the fruit saplings were delivered to the donkey cart, Ye Lao and Ye Zi discovered that there were so many fruit saplings that their donkey cart could not accommodate them.

"Brother Ye, you only have one donkey cart. These fruit seedlings are all two-year-old saplings. It takes at least four donkey carts to transport them back." The stall owner who helped deliver the fruit seedlings was surprised when he saw that there was only one donkey cart. shocked.

The two stall owners said they were only responsible for selling and not helping with transportation. However, the two stall owners sell fruit seedlings all year round and know a car dealership where they can rent a car.

Ye and his father had no choice but to go to the car dealership to rent a car. As soon as they entered, a clerk came up to them enthusiastically: "What kind of car do you two guests want to rent? Our car dealership has donkey carts, ox carts and horse carriages."

"We plan to rent two or three cars to transport fruit seedlings. How did you rent the donkey cart and the ox cart?" Ye Laoyizi asked.

"The donkey cart costs 100 Wen for half a day, and the ox cart costs 110 Wen for half a day. The driver can also help with moving things. If you want to transport fruit seedlings, I suggest you rent an ox cart, as long as you have strength and endurance." As he said, the waiter led the two of them to the ox cart. .

Father Ye suddenly spoke up, pointed to the corner and said, "Is the old donkey cart in the corner for sale?"

As soon as Father Ye came in, he noticed the old donkey cart in the corner. It was about 4% new. Father Ye valued that it had a shed that could protect it from wind and rain. Ye Mu will definitely go to the county often to sell embroidery in the future, and it will be much more comfortable to have a shed that can protect her from wind and rain.

"This donkey cart is an old one that has just been replaced. It looks a bit old, but it is still very strong. Moreover, the shed can be disassembled and can carry people and goods. The main reason is that it is cheap, only 150 Wen."

"Such an old car costs 150 cents. Isn't this a rip-off? It only costs 200 cents to make a new flatbed truck." Ye Laozi on the side couldn't help it when he heard that this old car cost 150 cents.

"This car is a bit old, but it doesn't affect its use at all. It also has a shed to protect it from wind and rain. The owner spent 500 Wen when he bought it."

Father Ye pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Brother, we are short of money and want to buy an old car. For 150 Wen, we might as well add dozens of Wen to buy a new truck. If 100 Wen is enough, I will take it."

Renting a bullock cart for half a day costs 110 Wen. If you buy this old donkey cart, you can not only save the rent of a car, but also have a donkey cart for transporting people at home.

"I can't make the decision on this. Wait a moment, you two, and I'll ask the steward." The younger brother walked away in a hurry.

"You kid, your brain is alive, just like me, like me."

They just happened to buy a donkey. Using the money from renting a car to buy an old donkey cart is equivalent to getting a donkey cart for free.

After a while, the little brother came back with a smile on his face, "Two guests, the steward agreed. Have the other two agreed on what kind of car to rent?"

Ye Lao Ye Zi thought that they were all two-year-old fruit saplings, which were quite heavy. "I want two oxcarts."

"Okay, the rent for two ox carts is 220 Wen, and the old donkey cart is 100 Wen. The total is 320 Wen. For the two customers, our car dealership will pay first and then deliver the car."

When the cars are rented out, the waiter gets a commission. Two oxcarts were rented out at once, and the boy was very happy.

When the Ye family and his son returned to Taohua Village with four carts of fruit saplings, people working in the fields happened to come back from the fields in twos and threes. This huge formation suddenly attracted the attention of the villagers, and within a while the whole village knew about it. The Ye family spent a lot of money to buy many fruit saplings.

As soon as Mr. Ye and the others arrived home, the village chief came to Ye's house with his eldest son Ye Mancang.

"Village Chief, Brother Mancang, why are you here?" Father Ye was carrying jujube saplings with his head down, and when he looked up he saw two people coming in.

"I know you have bought a lot of fruit seedlings. Mancang and I came over to see if there is anyone who needs help." Ye Mancang, who came with us, had already started moving the fruit seedlings with Father Ye.

"You old fox, don't just say nothing, help move the fruit seedlings quickly." Old Ye Zi moved a persimmon tree from the ox cart and handed it to Village Chief Ye. Don't think that this old guy doesn't know, he must have come to inquire about the fruit seedlings. of.

It was already dark after moving the fruit seedlings. Mr. Ye helped the driver fill the kettle and brought two torches to the two of them.

"Thank you for your hard work, please be careful on the road."

"It's not hard, it's not hard." The two masters drove the ox cart back.

Old Mrs. Ye stayed with the village chief and his son for dinner. Ye Mancang was originally embarrassed to stay for dinner, but village chief Ye was thick-skinned and pulled him to stay at Ye's house for dinner.

Ye's mother knew that the village chief and Mr. Ye were going to talk about fruit trees, but she didn't understand it, so she took the children back to her room to eat.

"Guitian, did you buy too few fruit trees? Although Xiaohoushan is not big, it still has more than 100 acres. Excluding the bamboo forest, there are still 120 acres. The 30 or so fruit seedlings you bought are too few."

Red dates are a good thing, nourishing qi and blood, and can be eaten as snacks, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell them.

"We have a small family, and we have a good harvest and have to work in the grocery store, so we don't have the manpower to take care of it." Mr. Ye also wanted to plant more fruit trees, but the family was full of women and children.

"You can hire people to help you, such as planting fruit seedlings in the early stage, and fertilizing and weeding later." To say that he is smart is stupid again.

The old lady on the side said: "This is also my first time planting fruit trees. I don't know if I can make money. I spent money to hire people to do the work, but I'm afraid I won't even get the wages back later."

The Ye family is not as rich as the village chief's family. Most of the family's money is used to buy mountains. Now the output of the mountains is not sold for much. Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye dare not spend money to hire people for fear that the fruit trees will not be planted. I can't even get my wages back.

The village chief didn't dare to say that he would definitely make money by planting fruit trees, and he suddenly felt a little guilty.

But thinking about my own jujube trees, I feel confident again, "I see that many people in the village have planted jujube trees in their yards, and they are all planted well. There should be no problem, right?"

There are also two jujube trees in the backyard of Village Chief Ban. They don’t need to be taken care of, and they produce a lot of jujubes every year.

Mr. Ye poured a glass of bulk wine for Village Chief Ye, "Who can say for sure? Our family has a small financial background, so we will plant less in the first year. If all the fruit trees are planted, we can plant more in the second year, step by step. "

Their family is not as good as the previous ones, but more than the inferior ones. There is no need to take risks, and it is better to be safe.

"You make sense." Although the village chief's family has a strong financial background, the money did not come from strong winds.

"Where are your two mountains? What kind of fruit trees do you plan to plant on them?"

"I have already sent a letter to Mantian, asking him to order 100 jujube saplings in the county. I originally thought that when I went to transport the fruit seedlings tomorrow, I would buy some other fruit seedlings, but after thinking about it, I decided not to buy them yet. Plant these 100 jujube trees first this year.”

The two hills bought by the village chief are not big, one is 180 acres, and the other is 170 acres. There are no bamboo forests on the mountains, but the two mountains chosen by the village chief have many honeysuckle and other wild fruit trees.

"I've asked people to sort it out on the mountain in the past two days. When the fruit seedlings are brought back tomorrow, they can be planted."

Mr. Ye toasted the village chief. "Okay, it works pretty quickly. How many honeysuckles do you have now?"

"About 20 acres are planted on each mountain. The two honeysuckle seedlings are far apart, so not much is actually planted."

The village chief's honeysuckle is planted on the lower mountainside. The mountainside is planned to be reserved for planting fruit trees. The top part will be reserved for now and we will see what to plant later.

"I plan to plant some beans, corn and sweet potatoes on the slope at the foot of the mountain." I have food at home, so I don't panic. You can’t go wrong by eating more food.

"Old man, there is some open space at the foot of Xiaohou Mountain. Let's plant beans and corn, and also plant sweet potatoes. The pigs at home may eat them."

Early the next morning, Mr. Ye found a few strong young men who worked hard and went to dig holes in the mountains to plant fruit seedlings.

The fruit seedlings had just been half planted when I saw the village chief bringing many oxcarts transporting jujube seedlings from a distance, along with dozens of young adults from the village.

"The village chief is so heroic." Seeing the village chief's wealth and wealth, Mr. Ye felt somewhat envious.

After the fruit seedlings were planted, Mr. Ye led several people to water the fruit seedlings and the previously planted honeysuckle seedlings.

The honeysuckle has been planted for two or three days, and Mr. Ye comes here to water it every day. Most of the honeysuckle seedlings are in good condition, and only a few are a little wilted.
