Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 199: Can I ask you for more money?
Of course, Li Muyang didn't really explain to his child what whipping was. He was worried that his mother would tell Li Muyun too much, which would arouse his rebellious spirit.

He feels that Li Muyun's work has been pretty good recently, which proves that he has indeed made some progress, and that's about it.

It's impossible to get better all of a sudden.

If you force him too hard, it will be counterproductive and may cause him to break down.

"Mom, Mu Yun is doing okay recently, so don't say any more. I'll keep an eye on him for you. When he's almost changed, I'll work with my eldest brother to get Xiao Yu back."

"Get it back, if you find someone else, you have to follow me back.

Xiaoyu is not an ordinary girl, she has a stubborn temper.

You still have to know in your heart what you are like. If you really don’t want to repent, don’t abuse other people’s children anymore.My own girl feels sorry for her. If I were Xiaoyu's mother, I would feel that having a son-in-law like this is bad luck for eight lifetimes. "

"Mom, what do you want to hear? Am I your son, or is she your daughter? Why do you always just talk about me."

"Look, look, you're still not convinced, then what are you doing if you want to say good things? You are like your fifth brother, so my mother won't be shy about talking about you."

"Okay, okay, I know that Fifth Brother is a good son in your mind. I am worthless, disobedient, and ignorant. Come on, stop talking. If you say anything again, my ears will be calloused."

"Looking at you like this, you won't say anything if you don't want to. I don't want to say anything. I get angry when I see you."

"Forget it, I won't stay here anymore. I won't bother you all seeing me, so I go to bed."

Li Muyun turned around and left the room.

"Mom, why do you keep talking about Sixth Brother? He is not a child. He must be unhappy when you keep talking about him."

Li Xiangqin said angrily.

"Let me tell you, don't I know what my own son is like?

If Lao Liu said this and he couldn't hold it any longer, then it wasn't him.

People say that you don’t need a heavy hammer to hit a drum. For our son, even if I break the hammer, I may not be able to beat him well. "

"It's not that exaggerated. Mom, I'll just keep an eye on it for you. Just like Qinqin said, talk less about him in the future. He is already in his 30s or [-]s. He is being talked about like this all day long. He can't lose face. You You don’t want to say that your son and you are slowly becoming estranged, right?”

Li Muyang was also advising his mother. Like Qinqin, he felt that there was no need for her mother to say so much.

Maybe because she stayed on the kang for a long time, the mother didn't know how old the child was. Or maybe, in the mother's eyes, no matter how old the child was, he was her son. She could talk about it anytime and anywhere, and there was no taboo.

"Even you think Mom talks too much?"

"It's a bit much. And even if you say it, well, you have to be a little more particular about your method. Otherwise, no matter how much you say, he won't listen, so isn't it just in vain? It will make him afraid to follow you in the future. No matter what you say, I don’t dare to stay by your side anymore, don’t you think so?”

"Okay, I'll talk less about him from now on, but Wu'er, you have to help mother keep an eye on her. You kids, what I worry about most now is him.

Alas, after worrying about this and that, who asked me to give birth to so many of you? God sees that my day is too easy, so he thinks of ways to make it more difficult for me. "

"Ah."

Li Muyang nodded.

He was the one who brought Mu Yun here, and he also saw progress from Mu Yun, and actually felt quite at ease.

None of the children in the Li family are particularly bad, they just have their own little problems.

It is impossible for him to make other people's lives perfect.

Being brothers is actually a fate.

Two people came out of the same mother's womb with a certain blood relationship, as if they were born with a connection and bond.

But, in fact, this is more reflected in childhood.

When two people grow up and have their own home, wife and children, their focus of interests changes. Both of them must be thinking about their own home.

The relationship between people is either for love or for profit.

Sometimes, some people value profit more. When profit outweighs emotion, they may abandon emotion.

And some people value emotions more than anything else.

Because of the factor of profit, it is normal for brothers to turn against each other. When the interests reach a certain level, there is no way to coordinate them.

Of course Li Muyang didn't want to come to this point.

He will work hard to maintain a good relationship with his brothers. It seems that he has sacrificed a lot, but in fact, in terms of emotional destination, he has gained more.
.
Three more days passed.

Li Jianshe was quite capable and indeed helped him with the homestead matter.

And personally came to his home to inform him.

Now that the matter has been reached, it will be much easier for the two of them to meet again. Li Muyang took the opportunity to talk to him about the remaining 200 acres of peach orchard.

Li Muyang knew a long time ago that if he did not contract all the peach orchards at the same time, Murakami would definitely increase the price later, and the price would never be as favorable as the original one dollar per acre.

However, he had two considerations at the time.

One is that he did not have that much money at the time. A 200-acre peach orchard cost more than 200 yuan a year, and he had to pay ten years' worth of money at one time. To him at the time, it was indeed a big number.

Although it's not impossible to get it out, it will cost money for mother's medical treatment and other working capital.

Planting fruit trees does not mean planting them in the ground and the trees will grow on their own. It still requires several years of hard work.If you don’t have any money at all and you can’t run the business, what can you do with 300 acres of land?

Herbicides, pesticides, labor, grafting, weeping, future harvests, and sales through various channels all require money to maintain, and nothing is that simple.

There is another reason.

Li Muyang actually thought that after he contracted these lands, if there were less of them, the people in the village would not pay special attention at first. But if they contracted all of them, there would inevitably be some people who were jealous of him and even did bad things behind his back.

How to solve these people's problems? It is impossible to say that he will solve it himself. It is still up to Li Jianshe to do it from the public level.

But the problem is that Li Jianshe is like a jackal. If you don't give him some meat, why should he help you?
Anyway, the land is contracted out, so you can do whatever you want. How you are treated has nothing to do with the village committee.

Even if they find them, they can just find some excuse to excuse themselves.

So Li Muyang thought from the beginning that he would leave a little meat for Li Jianshe to eat.

For example, he thought that when he re-contracted the land, he would pay [-] cents per acre and turn it into [-] yuan.

It seems that this fifty cents has increased by 50% for him, which is a big expense.But actually in one year.A total of only 100 yuan more.And he is sure that after several years of business on these lands, he can earn at least one hundred thousand yuan a year.

Compared to 100, 10 is really too small to be smaller.

almost negligible.

It is said to be planting an orchard, but in fact it is still a business.If it’s a business, it’s impossible to keep all the money by yourself.

The business itself seems to be selling things, but in fact it is about relationships.

If he wants to establish himself in this place, he must have a good relationship with everyone around him.

He was always trying to make friends with other people.

Some people still don’t know what the use is, they just have some vague ideas, but they will maintain it in advance.When it's time to use it, he can use it directly instead of trying to unbuckle his belt on the buttocks.
.
After seeing off Li Jianshe in the afternoon, Li Muyang came to his second brother's house in the evening.

During dinner a few days ago, he had already told his second brother that he would ask his helper to calculate for him how much it would cost to build a courtyard with more than a dozen houses. The second brother was a professional in this area, so he didn't have to worry too much.

"Second brother, have you finished calculating this for me?"

"What's going on? The village has approved the homestead for you."

"approved."

"How big?"

"One acre."

"Can you grant such a large amount of land? How did you do it? I heard others say that there is no one-acre homestead anymore."

"Think of a way, a living person can still be suffocated to death, a four-cent yard is too small. You see, your house is an eight-cent yard, right? It's not particularly big.

I was thinking that my mother would still have to live with me in the future, and Qinqin didn’t know what was going on here, so it didn’t mean having a house.

In addition, our big horse, in his current state, has been working with me, I can't let him live outside, right?
In addition, the children will live in the living room, the main room, the kitchen, etc., won’t all these messes add up to a lot?I definitely need a big yard. "

"That's true, but the place in your house is quite nice. It happens to be incompatible with the front and back, and there's nothing blocking it. It would be more suitable to build a big yard. Unlike our place, if I move forward, it will already be paved. We're on the main road, and behind us is someone else's house."

"The yard at my second brother's house is actually fine. You have a small family, so it doesn't make sense to make it bigger. By the way, can you forget about that for me?"

"You wait."

Li Mudi opened a drawer, and you took out a notebook from it. It should be a child's homework book, with the word "mathematics" written on it. When you open the notebook, you can see clear accounting.

"You told me that night, and I came back to do the math. You see, this is an account, and it still requires a lot of money.

If the foundation does not need to be dug too deep, the walls should be built with earth, and the houses should be built with earth foundations.It will save some.

But if you use all bricks, and also use red bricks and red tiles, the price will go up.

You have to know that these things are not only more expensive in materials, but also in transportation costs.You want to bring the bricks back from the brick and tile factory, right? That doesn’t mean that the brick and tile factory is built next to us. Doesn’t it cost money?
There is also labor. For ordinary wall building, you only need to ask people in the village for help. They will be happy if they have two meals and some meat in it.But if you want to build a brick wall, you need to find a bricklayer specifically, that is, a big worker.

Other people's prices will also be higher. I've listed the details for you one by one. You can take a look first. "

"Okay, let me take a look first."

Li Muyang took the book and first turned to the back to look at the total amount of money. He found that to follow his idea, he needed 7600 yuan.

This amount of money was actually beyond his budget.

He originally wanted to build such a yard in this era, and it was estimated that the maximum cost would be 6000 yuan.

But when he looked through the previous items, he couldn't find anything wrong. As the second brother said, the main reason was that the cost of materials and labor had increased.

"How about it, am I right? This amount of money is not a small amount. If you add a little more, it will become a household worth ten thousand yuan. In addition to the village chief's relatives, how many households worth ten thousand yuan are there in our village now? ?”

"Indeed, quite a few." Li Muyang nodded.

"So my suggestion is that you should use bricks for the house, but still use earth for the walls. I calculated this way, you can save at least 1000 yuan, and find other places to save more, maybe you can put 6000 yuan in it." within."

Li Mudi had heard Li Muyang talk about the budget before, and also helped Li Muyang think about how to keep the budget within the plan.

But Li Muyang quickly shook his head.

He smiled and said: "The standards cannot be lowered. If you are short of money, I will just find a way. But second brother, I don't see the hard-earned money you have set aside from this."

"What hard-earned money?"

"Didn't I contract this thing to you? Then you can't say that you won't keep any hard-earned money for yourself after you are so busy."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of hard-earned money do I need? It costs money to take care of this for my brother. You really look down on your second brother."

"Second brother, that's not the case. Isn't it the same when you go out to help others? You help me here and you have to live. Are you letting the second sister-in-law and the children at home drink the northwest wind?
During this time, if you go out to work for others, they will also give you money. In fact, it is the same, and I will contract the things to you, so I feel relieved. "

"I have already earned what I should earn by working here. Your financial conditions are not well-off, and now you don't have a house.

Didn't you say that if the yard is not built well, the girl may not be able to marry you?He is not young anymore, so it is not easy to find a partner.

I am your brother. I can’t help you in other places. This is my old profession, so why can’t I help you? "

"I know the second brother is doing it for my own good. But let's stick to the same code. This kind of thing will be what it is..."

"Stop talking nonsense to me. If you keep acting like this, I won't care. You can find someone else to help you.

I said, Lao Wu, how did you become like this?

If you can find my brother, he will definitely find a way to get things done for you.

What is good?That doesn’t mean just building a yard. It means building the best house for you with the lowest money possible.Is this true?
Mother-in-law, there are no such troublesome people in our Li family.If you continue to talk, I will leave you alone immediately. In the future, don’t come to me for this kind of thing. You can go to whoever you want. "

Li Muyang smiled bitterly.

He had always felt that his second brother was a bit stingy and was relatively close to money.

Now it seems that this is actually because he didn't get along well with his second brother before, and he has lived in a stereotype of each other his whole life.

Now, when he worked hard to maintain the relationship between his brothers, he realized that these brothers were actually quite good. After all, they all came from the same family and were influenced by the same family tradition.

"Come on, come on, it's time to eat watermelon. What are you two brothers doing so loudly? I heard it in the kitchen."

Li Yali came in with a plate of watermelon.

The flesh of the watermelon is very red and there are very few seeds. As soon as you come in, the room is filled with the sweet taste of watermelon.

"Nothing, I'm just discussing with my brother about building a house for our family."

"Oh, your brother told me about this, there is still a lot of money.

Can you afford such a huge amount of money from Shepherd?If you are nervous, just tell us that although we cannot add to the big ones, we can always add to the small ones. "

Li Yali sat on the edge of the Kang and handed Li Muyang a sprout of watermelon.
