Chapter 321: Chapter 322: Xu Wants to Work on Dapeng Vegetables
Xu Qingqing’s father picked up a paper slip, unfolded it to reveal a second-class field, and while he was overjoyed, he grew even more resentful towards his wife and daughter.
Holding one slip wasn’t enough, he had to grab two, and both with such bad luck.
Upon seeing the paper slip in his hand, Xu Ying laughed and said, "Uncle, your luck isn’t bad! Pity about those four chances, otherwise four acres of second-class fields would have been much better than four acres of third-class fields, the yield is completely different."
Hearing this, Xu Qingqing’s father felt even more infuriated. Later, when his son and his daughter-in-law drew, they got either second-class or first-class fields, and never even touched third-class fields.
Liu Yuefen got a single glance from the man and turned pale.
The terrain of Xujia Village was quite good, with most of it being fine land, and the mere ten acres of third-class fields had all ended up being drawn by their family.
Many people couldn’t resist teasing Xu Qingqing’s father.
Distraught, Xu Qingqing cried and ran back home.
"Captain, now that the land has been divided, what about the crops in our fields?"
At the mention of this, everyone became very attentive. This year’s wheat had already been planted, now how would it be divided?
"If you ask me, whoever has the wheat in their field, that wheat belongs to them.
After all, it’s all wheat in the fields right now; there aren’t any other crops," Mrs. Xu said.
"Well, let’s do as sister-in-law said," one villager after another agreed.
After land distribution to each household, everyone took care of their own fields, making them a lot more diligent than before.
Previously, mention of going to work made everyone listless and sluggish.
Now, no one needed the village loudspeaker to call them to work; everyone eagerly ran to their fields. Previously, they literally just went through the motions, but now, if they saw even a single unwanted weed, they hurried to pull it out, fearing it would affect the crops.
Since the land was divided, Xu appeared somewhat distracted.
Mr. Xu noticed his son’s change and curiously asked, "What’s the matter? We just divided the land, why do you seem so preoccupied?
Do you think we shouldn’t have divided it?"
As soon as Xu heard this, he quickly shook his head and asked his father, "Dad, didn’t you say earlier that once the land was divided, the villagers could plant whatever they wanted?"
Mr. Xu raised an eyebrow, "What’s up, is there something you want to plant?"
Xu Da, who wasn’t very skilled but had a lot of strength, preferred laboring in the fields to studying.
"Dad, my sister mentioned earlier that the greenhouse could not only cultivate wheat, but we could also grow vegetables and fruits ourselves. Now that our family has land, can’t we consider setting up a greenhouse?
That way, everyone could have vegetables and off-season fruits in the winter, and if we sold them, wouldn’t the prices be higher?" Xu Da’s eyes sparkled as he brought up this idea.
Actually, he had been thinking about this even before land distribution to households.
But he hadn’t expected the policies to change so abruptly. Now that land distribution to households had happened, he was even more determined to pursue this.
Though he enjoyed working in the fields, he didn’t want to just scrape by, concerned only with food and drink. If he could earn some money and provide a better life for his children and wife, that would be even better.
Xu Fu’s eyes lit up when he heard his son’s words, and he was very supportive of his child’s entrepreneurial ventures. He waved his hand boldly and said, "If you want to do it, just do it—I’ll have your mother give you some money."
Seeing his father’s reaction, Xu Da’s honest face broke into a smile, "Thanks, Dad."
He quickly went to find Mrs. Xu. When Mrs. Xu heard her son wanted to grow Dapeng Vegetables, she didn’t understand much about it but knew that it would require a substantial amount of money.
She felt uncertain and feared losing money. Looking at her son, she said, "You come with me to consult your sister; your sister is smart—let’s see what she thinks."
Xu Da nodded. That had been his intention.
Vegetable greenhouses indeed sound quite profitable, but the initial cost needed is substantial.
Previously, he had not mentioned it because he was worried about potentially losing money.
Mrs. Xu, accompanied by Xu, knocked on Xu Ying’s door.
"Come in."
Xu Ying was reading in her room when she saw them enter, her face showing surprise, "Mom, Xu, what’s up?"
"Your brother is thinking about planting vegetable greenhouses. Your dad is also very supportive of letting him do it, but I’m afraid of losing money.
Can these vegetable greenhouses really work? Your brother and I thought to come over and ask for your opinion," Mrs. Xu said with concern.
Xu Ying was indeed extremely surprised. In her eyes, her brother had always been a down-to-earth person without much wisdom and talent, but fortunately, he was kind-hearted and filial.
She said, full of surprise, "Xu, was it your wife who suggested you do the vegetable greenhouse, or did you want to do it yourself?"
Xu, thinking that this business might not work and fearing that his little sister might think it was his wife’s influence, quickly shook his head in a fluster, "This was my own idea. It has nothing to do with your sister-in-law. If it doesn’t work out, then I just won’t do it."
"Don’t say that, Xu. I think the idea of a vegetable greenhouse you mentioned could work.
If we grow off-season vegetables, scarcity can bring high prices.
Currently, our economy in Yu County and even the whole country is significantly improving. People are starting to pursue a higher quality of life.
The demands for daily necessities will definitely increase, and this vegetable greenhouse could definitely be profitable.
If you do it, I support you. I’ll invest in it later, just remember to share the profits with me," Xu Ying said with a twinkle in her beautiful eyes, her gaze full of calculations.
Her older brother was finally rising up. If the vegetable greenhouse planting was successful, then the subsequent money made would undoubtedly be significant. Later on, she would help her brother expand the scale of the vegetable greenhouse. By then, she would just be picking up money following behind her big brother.
Thinking of her future retirement life put Xu Ying in a delightful mood.
Xu’s eyes were filled with surprise; he hadn’t expected his younger sister to support him.
He chuckled sheepishly, touching the tip of his nose, "Little sister, thank you."
"Xu, there’s no need for thanks between siblings," especially when there’s a profit to be shared.
Xu Ying pulled out her passbook; she had also saved more than ten thousand yuan.
Old Sun and Old Niu were dragging their feet, and her salary hadn’t been paid yet.
"Xu, there’s ten thousand yuan in this passbook. See how you want to allocate it, but remember not to cut corners by buying cheap materials. If the greenhouse doesn’t succeed, we’ll lose even more," Xu Ying instructed.
She was genuinely afraid that her brother, accustomed to frugality from years of living in poverty, might be tempted by cheap, poor-quality materials.
When private businesses were first established, the quality of goods was quite good. However, as greed grew, an increasing number of unscrupulous merchants started to sell substandard items.
Xu nodded, understanding the stakes involved, and he assured Xu Ying with this money, "Little sister, don’t worry.
Xu will definitely do his best, aiming to get your principal back soon."
"Alright, I believe in you, Xu!" Xu Ying encouraged.
Xu’s cheeks reddened a bit; it was the first time he had felt useful.
Holding the money, Xu was immensely excited. Once autumn arrived and the harvest was over, he would immediately start taking action.
As her brother was getting ready to prepare the vegetable greenhouse, Xu Ying naturally did not fall behind. She contracted the mountain land without delay.
