Rebirth begins with marrying an educated youth

Chapter 373 Second Uncle’s Words

After settling the matter, the family discussed how much a tractor would cost.

Grandpa often chats with people and knows a lot about some villages.

"When the production team was disbanding and dismantling things, someone at Maji bought the production team's tractor for one thousand six hundred dollars."

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "Grandpa, it's second-hand. If something goes wrong, we don't know what to do. Should we buy it or buy a new one?"

"New one?" Grandpa took a puff from his pipe. "The new one will cost a lot. It will cost upwards of four thousand yuan."

Ji Yuanhai said: "Is five thousand yuan enough?"

"That must be enough." Grandpa said.

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Then I will keep five thousand yuan - grandpa, dad, do you want me to add some money to buy a Jiefang pickup truck?"

"That vehicle should be more useful than a tractor for transporting things."

Grandpa immediately said: "How much more do you have to add? If you have money, you can't mess with it like this!"

"Besides, here, tractors are easier to use and more convenient than trucks."

Seeing his grandfather say this, Ji Yuanhai stopped mentioning this aspect.

He also mentioned that his parents, brother and sister-in-law would all have jobs in the future, so his grandparents should relax and enjoy themselves at home.

"That's what I'm saying. It's a joke that we don't work in the fields at our age!" Grandpa said, "We have to work hard. We are old bones. If we don't do some work, we will feel uncomfortable all over."

As he spoke, grandpa laughed: "But our family is like this now. I am happy to work, briskly, I can work when I want, and when I am tired, I go home to rest."

"Well, grandpa, your mentality is right. I am making a lot of money now, my brother is also making money, and my father will also make money driving a tractor in the future. You must not tire yourself out." Ji Yuanhai said, "If Let me say, if I give our family tens of thousands more yuan, our whole family will feel more relaxed——"

Ji Yuanhai's whole family disagreed with this.

You have hands and feet, and your life is going well. Do you need to be more relaxed?

If you take money from Era Hai and live a "easy life", you won't know how to live a solid life in the future!

After talking about this, Ji Yuanhai mentioned the matter of the three brothers of the Wang family.

Grandpa just smoked his cigarette bag and laughed: "Those three Wangs, if you say they hold back the water and do some bad things, I believe it; if they dare to come here to fight, or lead the Wang family to fight with our Ji family , that’s definitely not possible.”

What grandpa thought coincided with what Ji Yuanhai thought. The whole family felt relieved after hearing this.

After talking about this matter, grandma suddenly spoke and asked Lu Heling if she would have children after graduating from college.

Neither Ji Yuanhai nor Lu Heling shied away from this matter.

After they graduate from college and find their jobs, they will definitely have children.

My grandparents and parents were very pleased to hear their decision.

Ji Yuanhai and his wife finally wanted a child. It turned out that they didn't want a child, but they seemed to be hiding their thoughts in their hearts.

It's a pity that we haven't caught up with the good time now. Otherwise, it would be great to have three or five children.

While chatting, it got late, and Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling also took a rest.

Early the next morning, the second uncle and second aunt called Ji Yuanhai and his wife to go to dinner together.

Ji Yuanhai was not surprised at first, but later his grandfather called his second uncle and his aunt, and asked them to call his third uncle and his family to have a reunion dinner.

This reunion dinner was extremely sumptuous, but the second uncle drank a few more glasses of wine and his face turned red again.

Perhaps after drinking, he became bolder. The second uncle opened his mouth and waggled his fingers with a slight stutter: "Yuan... Yuan Hai..."

"You are living a good life outside, but you have never thought about...how are you doing at home?"

When Ji Yuanhai saw him like this, he understood why the couple wanted to drag him and his wife to his house for dinner in the morning. It turned out that they had something to talk about.

Ji Yuanhai didn't like the way his second uncle opened his mouth.

You talk when you open your mouth, but you go around in circles with me and play tricks on you. If I get tricked into it, wouldn't it mean that I am stupider than you and have been fooled by you?

How is your life at home? I have grandparents, parents, and brothers. I have taken care of them all. What does it have to do with you? Do I owe you something?

To say who Ji Yuanhai owed, he actually owed some favors to his third uncle Ji Baoping - that came from the memory of the old cripple, one of the few people who gave warmth to his family. But Ji Baoping's life was not bad. He worked as an accountant with the seventh uncle Ji Baotian, and he had good food and drink all year round, and his face was glowing.

Second Uncle, from memory to reality, is not qualified to ask for benefits from Ji Yuan Hai; not to mention, he speaks with moral kidnapping, as if Ji Yuan Hai "ignores his family" and has made mistakes, and needs to "acknowledge his mistakes" "Correction" is the same.

Era Hai doesn't accept this at all.

"Everything is going well at home." Ji Yuanhai said calmly.

Grandpa frowned and said nothing, looking at Ji Yuanhai's second uncle, but he didn't tell him to get out.

You have to listen to what he thinks, whether it's appropriate or not.

"Okay? What's okay!" The second uncle shook his head, "I work hard to farm all year round. When I water the ground, my legs are so cold that it hurts. When I harvest wheat, my sweat drops are like raindrops. Drink a glass of water and your whole body is sweating. , clatter, all of them came out at once!”

Ji Yuanhai looked surprised: "Second uncle, you are quite weak. You should take a good rest!"

"Puch!"

Ji Yuanshan couldn't help lowering his head and laughed. Ma Xiuping and Lu Heling tried their best to keep their faces straight, but also had smiles in their eyes.

The children of the second uncle and third uncle's family are also in their teens. When they saw Ji Yuanshan smiling, they all laughed along with him.

The atmosphere was quite cheerful for a while.

The second uncle's face turned red: "Yuan Hai, don't talk nonsense to me!"

"I asked you whether farming is hard?"

"Fortunately." Ji Yuanhai replied.

"Are you capable now? Can you help me find a way to make a living so that I don't have to farm anymore?" the second uncle asked again.

Ji Yuanhai looked at his second uncle, frowned and said, "Second uncle, what kind of livelihood do you want?"

"Just let me, like Yuan Shan, rent a shop in the county to sell food." The second uncle said.

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Second uncle, if you think so, it's still a way to go. Just go for it."

"My brother is over at Tuanjie Alley, so you should be farther away. It's almost as far as Beiguan in the county seat."

"I...if I can do it, I won't talk to you anymore." The second uncle said, "Look at me as a farmer, how can I have the money to do these things?"

"I don't know how to rent a house or do business, and I don't have any money."

Ji Yuanhai looked at his second uncle, shook his head slightly, and echoed: "Oh, what can we do? This is not easy to handle."

If the person who raised this matter today was not the second uncle, a person with questionable character and slightly less affectionate family, but the third uncle, then Ji Yuanhai would be willing to give money to help solve the problem.

But the second uncle was really disappointed.

When the second uncle saw Ji Yuanhai say this, he understood a little: "Yuanhai, don't you want to help me?"

Ji Yuanhai replied: "How can this be possible?"

"I'm not familiar with the county. You have to do it yourself when it comes to renting a house or doing business. I really can't help you much in this regard."

The second uncle stood up due to his drunkenness and raised his voice: "Yuan Hai, you used to do business in the county. It's not like I don't know about it! Now tell me -" "Sit down!"

Grandpa's face sank: "What are you making a fuss about? If you drink too much, go home and sober up. Don't make any noise at my place!"

The second uncle sat down angrily and said aggrievedly: "Dad, look at Yuan Hai..."

Grandpa frowned and said, "What's wrong with Yuan Hai? Yuan Hai is fine!"

"If you have nothing else to say, just eat, and go back as soon as you're full!"

The second uncle pursed his lips and stopped talking.

The second aunt said softly: "Dad, he also drank too much and said unpleasant things. He is not like this usually."

"Then again, Yuan Hai, my aunt wants to borrow some money from you. Our family wants to do business. Do you have any spare money to lend to my aunt?"

When Ji Yuanhai heard this, he smiled: "Auntie, your words are much easier for me to listen to."

"My second uncle came up and said that I didn't know that my family was having a hard time, which made me look like a criminal. If I listened to him and gave him the money, then I would be admitting that I had committed a crime."

As an elder, Ji Yuanhai should show some kindness to the second aunt if she asked to borrow money directly. After all, she was her second uncle and second aunt.

If you want to play tricks, Ji Yuanhai will definitely not be fooled.

Well, it turns out that this is the key to the problem!

The family then understood that Ji Yuanhai's refusal to pay attention to the second uncle's words just now turned out to be because he was making trouble when he spoke. The second aunt stretched out her hand and pinched the second uncle, causing his face to twitch: "You are so smart!"

"Yuan Hai, how much can you lend to my house?"

The second aunt asked.

Era Hai slightly pondered and replied: "Five hundred, is it enough?"

Five hundred yuan is almost enough to go to the county town to open a business, especially for breakfast, the cost is really not too high.

The second aunt hesitated for a moment, and the two of them discussed that it would be best to ask for more from Ji Yuan Hai, so that they would be rich and convenient when waiting to do business.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yuanhai did not "give money" easily, but made it clear that he would "borrow money" before agreeing to lend it.

Moreover, the amount of "five hundred" is, let's say a lot, much more than the income in rural areas, but if you go to the county to do business, it seems a bit barely enough.

After thinking about it, I felt that it would be good if Ji Yuanhai could lend me the money. The second aunt finally agreed: "Well, okay, five hundred yuan is enough."

"My family just goes to the county town to try it. If it's really not the right material, we'll come back."

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "It's good if you are willing to give it a try."

"I won't push you for the five hundred yuan; but I have something to say before you. If you don't pay this amount, it proves that your business is not doing well, so don't ask me to borrow new money."

"If we can pay back this money..." the second uncle asked quickly.

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "Second uncle and second aunt, your business is prosperous and you are living a good life, so there is no need to borrow money from me anymore, right?"

The second uncle and second aunt looked at each other and nodded.

You are right to think so.

Once you have made a fortune in business, there is no need to borrow any more money.

The second uncle even thought: Seeing how this boy Ji Yuanhai cherishes money, he may not have a good life in the future, and he may not know who will lend money to whom.

When I think about it, I feel much happier.

After dinner, Ji Yuanhai returned home with his third uncle Ji Baoping's family and his family.

After arriving at the third uncle's house, Ji Yuanhai sat down to talk and asked about the situation at the third uncle's house.

The third uncle smiled and said: "It's okay. Your seventh uncle takes good care of me and calls me if anything happens."

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "Are you two doing the accounts together?"

The third uncle smiled awkwardly: "As long as you know, don't tell anyone."

Ever since the production team was disbanded, Jibotan's behavior has not been hidden from Ji Yuanhai, but Ji Yuanhai has no intention to participate in the affairs of the village, so he has not intervened.

Furthermore, reasonable wear and tear is also a common thing that people can’t find fault with.

The third uncle is living a good life and has more money than the average farmer.

Ji Yuanhai took the initiative to ask his third uncle: "Third uncle, have you ever thought about going out to make some money or do some business?"

The third uncle was a little surprised: "Second brother asked you to borrow money when we were having dinner just now. You are quite... or something. Why are you telling me this again?"

Ji Yuanhai's words and deeds just now are hard to describe, how precise? Calculating? They all make sense, but they don't sound so nice when spoken.

Ji Yuanhai said calmly: "I don't want to lend money to my second uncle because he is impulsive and has no long-term patience in doing things. I feel that he can't do it well."

"Besides, when he came up and said those words to me, he didn't mean to borrow money at all, but to force me to pay him. If I listened to him, I would be a fool."

The third uncle thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's what you are considering."

"You are looking for me now because you feel that I am more suitable than my second brother for going out on business?"

"No." Ji Yuanhai said, "I'm here to ask. If you have any ideas about going out for business, I can help you."

The third uncle smiled in surprise and said: "Second brother and I are quite different from each other here?"

Ji Yuanhai said helplessly: "In our family, only my second uncle—"

Ji Yuanhai didn't say the rest, and the third uncle basically understood that the second uncle Ji Yuanhai's previous incident of peeping into the women's toilet made the whole family very angry.

This indeed made it difficult for everyone to trust and respect him.

What the Ji family didn't even know was that in Ji Yuanhai's other old cripple's memory, his grandparents were pissed to death by his second uncle's weird behavior. His second uncle and Ji Yuanhai were emotionally separated and were not helpful.

Ji Yuanhai was able to lend his family five hundred yuan because of the family's face.

The third uncle could see Ji Yuanhai's sincerity, and hesitated for a moment, then said: "Yuanhai, to be honest, life outside does sound very good, with all kinds of things... But I have a wife and children at home, and life in the village is not as good as before. bad."

"Aren't you going out?"

Ji Yuanhai was not surprised to see his third uncle making this choice.

Working as an accountant in the village, he had wine and meat from time to time, which was a good life for the third uncle.

At his age, he has a wife and children, leaving his hometown makes people feel uneasy just thinking about it...

Ji Yuanhai didn't try to persuade him anymore, but just told his third uncle that he could ask for help if there was anything he could do. He would do whatever he could to help, including urgent need for money.

The third uncle was also quite touched by Ji Yuanhai's thoughts.

After all, in contrast, the treatment of himself and his second brother was completely different, which made Ji Yuanhai's sincerity even more evident.
