Chapter 17 You are still young

Li Xiangming didn't eat lunch, and was already hungry at night, but his daughter and wife were chatting in the kitchen, and they didn't leave until eight or nine o'clock.

As soon as they left, Li Xiangming hurried to the kitchen. The pots were cleaned and there was nothing to eat on the cupboards and tables, so he went into the room and asked, "Li Lanfen, didn't you have dinner tonight?"

Li Lanfen glanced at the man, "Swallow said you were angry, so you definitely wouldn't eat her cooking, so I didn't cook for you."

"Hmph, even if she's sensible, I won't eat it even if it's cooked." Li Xiangming opened the cabinet after speaking, took out a bouquet of flowers, angrily returned to the kitchen and sat down to eat.

Smelly girl, you did it on purpose, hum, you're too young to fight me.

However, it is really difficult for the cadres in the county to support her.

After eating a few peanuts, Li Xiangming's mouth became dry, and he picked up the thermos bottle to pour water, but the bottle was empty.

What's the big deal, I grew up drinking cold water, Li Xiangming picked up the water ladle, opened the lid of the tank, there was not a drop of water in the tank.

Li Xiangming's face turned green with anger, and he began to curse. After cursing for a while, his mouth became dry, so he had to carry a bucket to fetch water from the well in the yard.

"Dad, let me tell you something." Hearing the scolding, Li Yan came out of the room and stood by the well waiting for him.

Li Xiangming glanced at her sideways, "Don't call me dad, I don't have a rebellious daughter like you."

"Dad, Uncle Liu said that there is 1 yuan in poverty alleviation funds in the village, do you want it?" Li Yan asked him bluntly.

"County cadres help the poor in the village, either giving them a sheep or a cow. Just dream." Li Xiangming sneered.

Li Yan repeated Uncle Liu's words.

After hearing this, the father threw the bucket down the well, and after smashing a bright moon in the well, the bucket slowly sank to the bottom of the water.

"Dad, it's rare that someone is willing to give this opportunity. You are an expert in farming, but let's talk about whether it is feasible or not."

Li Xiangming picked up the bucket and put it by the well, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, and thought about it, "I have heard about growing peppercorns a long time ago, and one mu of land can plant seventy or eighty peppercorns. Harvest once a year, about 20 to 1 catties at a time, according to the market price of [-] yuan, the income of one mu of land is about [-] yuan."

Li Yan's eyes lit up, the harvest was more cost-effective than ordinary apple trees, as long as a few acres of land were planted, wouldn't that make a fortune?It seems that there is indeed hope for growing peppercorns.

"It takes a three-year waiting period for peppercorns to bloom and bear fruit. You will be an old girl by then, can you still marry?" Li Xiangming saw a smile on her face and snorted coldly to wake her up.

Li Yancai didn't care, "It's just fine if you don't get married, so you don't have to worry about no one to take care of you..."

Really, people who don't know how to settle accounts are stupid after reading books. Li Xiangming gave her a look of hatred for iron and steel before telling her, "If you don't think about it, go out to work, three thousand a month, and thirty thousand a year." Six, after three years, you will have a stable county house with a down payment of [-]. If you plant pepper trees, you will see benefits in three years, and you still have to think about how to sell them.

It’s my father who doesn’t know how to settle accounts. There are at least [-] to [-] mu of sloping farmland abandoned by the villagers in the whole village. As long as [-] mu of land is planted, after three years, the annual income will be [-] yuan a year. Li Yan is excited, “Uncle Liu said Now, I don’t have to worry about sales, I just need to be responsible for planting peppercorns, Dad, you can grow peppercorns with me, pick up the wasteland that everyone doesn’t want and plant ten acres first.”
