Chapter 143
Chu Dayou looked at the pile of money in front of him and wanted to ask Chu Jianghe to take it away.
But Zhao Yufen on the side had already collected the money and said with a smile: "My son is filial, so my mother will take it."
Her son now has no idea about money, and he spends money lavishly. He bought so many things on his return trip from the capital, which made her feel very distressed.
She was a little worried about having so much money in his hands, so she might as well help him keep it. When he needed to spend money, she could just take it out herself.
Chu Jianghe saw his mother put away the money, then got up and went back to his house.
When Chu Dayou turned around and saw his mother-in-law counting money there, he felt helpless: "My son's money is going to build a house and will be used in the coming spring. Don't save it in the credit union."
Zhao Yufen just spat on her finger and was about to click it again. When she heard Chu Dayou's words, her eyes widened: "None of you old Chu family men are worry-free. They are very big-hearted. You spend money without restraint. How can you use so much money to build a house? Just keep the money with me first, and you can take it from me when you need it."
Chu Dayou's own family members knew about her family affairs. There was really no way to refute this, so she left it to her.
After Chu Jianghe finished dealing with the affairs of those villages, he was completely free. After dinner, he wandered around with nothing to do.
The changes in the village were not great, after all, he had only left for about three months, but the spirit of the village members was obviously different from when he left.
There is no farm work now, the members are busy all day long, smiling and preparing for the New Year, which is the biggest festival of the year.
In the past, conditions were difficult and it was difficult to eat meat a few times a year. Now Xiaohe Village is different from what it used to be. With better conditions, people are willing to buy more things.
There are also many families in the village who are engaged to be married. Before the Chinese New Year, this person carrying large and small bags seems to be going to his future father-in-law's family to give gifts.
Chu Jianghe then remembered that according to the rules here, he, the son-in-law, also had to go to his father-in-law's house to deliver something.
Think about yourself in the future. I will be alone and have no need to worry about this. I will not understand the rules of human relations.
It seems that I have to ask carefully about what is more appropriate to give. If I don't go to my father-in-law's house in person before the Chinese New Year, I will be scolded for being ignorant.
We also have to go to Zhou Zhiyuan's house and Zhang Li's house. One has helped Xiaohe Village a lot, and the other is now his partner. It's a bit casual to send things to these two houses. You don't need to pay attention to any rules, just come to your heart.
As for what to give these two people, Chu Jianghe had already thought about it.
The pig farm in Xiaohe Village still has a litter of Chenghua pigs. During the Chinese New Year, they kill two of them, keep some for their own family, and give away the rest.
Meat itself is a good thing, plus this thing is a rare thing, so giving it away is also a good thing.
Only Xiaohe Village in the entire Yongfeng County has this thing, and you can't even buy it anywhere else.
Chu Jianghe originally wanted to visit the pig farm, but he walked slowly halfway and bumped into Tie Zhu who was carrying large and small bags excitedly. Seeing that he was also preparing to go to his father-in-law's house to pay tribute.
It just so happened that Chu Jianghe could ask him for advice, so he smiled and asked, "I'm going to my father-in-law's house so early to give gifts. Let me see what I got."
Tiezhu was living a comfortable life these days. He was carrying big and small bags and said to Chu Jianghe with a smile: "Yeah, let's finish the delivery as soon as possible to avoid being busy during the New Year, so I just took some pork, two are good." Cigarettes and two bottles of good wine.”
Chu Jianghe looked over and saw that there was a lot of pork. Cigarettes and alcohol will never go out of style. These things are definitely not bad now.
Tiezhu has made a lot of money in the past six months, and his wife is very happy to have a wife. I heard from Yunfang that his father-in-law and mother-in-law also liked this honest and capable man from the bottom of their hearts.
If Xiaohe Village had not made money by setting up a factory, Tiezhu would still be single now. A single mother could scare away many girls.
But Tiezhu couldn't stand up to his ambition, he never lags behind others in work, and his down-to-earth and hard-working nature was so praised that Chu Jianghe promoted him to the person in charge of the brick factory.
Based on this alone, the new daughter-in-law is very satisfied after she gets married. Even without the help of her parents, the future will not be any worse.
Seeing that his originally lean face now has a hint of fat, you can tell that this kid is doing well now.
Chu Jianghe chatted with Tie Zhu for a while and then watched him leave.
When leaving, Tie Zhu kept asking him to have a meal at his house during the Chinese New Year, and then have a nice drink with him.
Chu Jianghe couldn't resist but had to agree first. Apart from drinking and playing cards during the New Year, there was nothing else to do.
When he arrived at the pig farm, Chu Jianghe directly found his father-in-law Liu Laoshi.
"Dad, how are those Chenghua pigs doing now? Can we kill two of them during the Chinese New Year?"
Seeing his uncle coming over, Liu Laoshi's face lit up like a chrysanthemum: "Very good, they have already laid a whole nest. You can kill five of them, no problem."
My girl told me that my uncle was going to build a house for me in Xiaohe Village, and that he would start construction when spring came.
My in-laws also told me that in the first month of the year, they would accompany me to choose a location for my homestead.
Liu Laoshi rubbed his hands and was very grateful to his uncle. He had earned the nickname "Honest" after so many years in Wulipu.
Be honest, be honest, to put it bluntly, you are just a coward.
No man would be willing to go on like this, but besides raising pigs, he can't do anything else.
If he had been in Wulipu, he might have continued to be like this. It was all thanks to his uncle who invited him to Xiaohe Village that he could use his talents and become what he is today.
If he could take root in Xiaohe Village, Liu Laoshi would definitely agree. The life here is just a life.
"Why kill so many? Two ends are enough. You can also get some from home when the time comes."
Liu Laoshi nodded in agreement.
Chu Jianghe thought about those villages again: "Dad, how are those villages?"
"Jiang He, as you said, I first cleaned the pig house and roasted it twice before putting all the healthy pigs in. The sick pigs were also put in according to the county's requirements. They were all buried. But to be honest, I feel a little distressed when I look at them."
"There is nothing we can do about it. We can't let the epidemic develop just because we are reluctant. What did the manpower we sent out say? Are the villages still cooperative?"
"Jiang He, let me tell you, the conditions we gave them are too good, and we are at a huge disadvantage. They only care about raising pigs, and don't have to take care of anything else. Our village takes care of everything. It is a sure profit for them. No compensation, where can I find such a good thing? How can I not cooperate? If they dare to cause trouble again, not only our Xiaohe Village, but also other villages will poke their bones."
When it came to this matter, Liu Laoshi felt a little indignant.
"Haha, as long as they cooperate, the days are still long. We need to take a longer-term view. Even though they seem to be taking advantage now, we can still make money from them in the future."
"Hey, listen to you."
He, Liu Laoshi, doesn't have that vision, he just works.
My uncle has said so, so it must be true. Anyway, nothing he said has failed to come true.
Finally, before Chu Jianghe left, he said to his father-in-law: "Dad, the end of the year competition is coming soon, you have to be prepared."
Liu Laoshi was confused when he heard this. Are you ready? What does it mean?
