Farmer's Struggle

Chapter 15
Some people went to work without money, and the three sisters allowed them to pay on credit.

But no one should try to renege on the three sisters' bills, because they would write down the bills in a small notebook on the spot, and then come to the door to ask for money.

With the help of the three sisters, and the money Ju Wenqi earned as a carpenter, the Ju family's debts were repaid bit by bit, and life gradually became easier.

When Ju Ling was in the second grade, there was another big happy event in the family.

27-year-old Zhang Yongli finally got married after countless blind dates!
Zhang Yongli is a very lazy and thoughtful girl. Many girls in the same village who got married on a blind date married because their family members thought it was good.If she's not like this, her parents think it's okay. She has to be in love with her before she is willing to talk about marriage.

The husband she chose out of thousands of thousands was beyond many people's expectations, because this man is not good-looking, not to mention short, less than 1.7 meters, and his family conditions are not very good. He is barely similar to Zhang Yongli's family. Everyone doesn't know. What does she like about that man?

Zhang Yongmei talked about this with Ju Wenqi at home, and the three sisters of the Ju family listened to it. On the eve of Zhang Yongli's wedding, Ju Jing, who couldn't hold back a word, quietly asked her why she married such a man who seemed to be so bad in every way.

Zhang Yongli smiled at the three girls of Ju's family very gently and said: "He is very nice. You don't depend on your looks or your height, you have to look at your character, as long as he is good."

In this regard, Ju Min held different opinions.

She said: "Who says you can't rely on face. Look at my dad, if it weren't for his good looks, my mother would marry him!"

One sentence made Zhang Yongli laugh.

In fact, there is a reason for Ju Min to say this.

When Zhang Yongmei and Ju Wenqi went on a blind date, they fell in love with this tall guy with thick eyebrows, big eyes and long eyes. Later, when they found out about some accidents in the Ju family, the family members persuaded her to see each other again, but she gave up. I will marry Ju Wenqi.

Zhang Yongmei's life might have been much easier if she hadn't married Ju Wenqi back then. Many people said that Zhang Yongmei's life would be bad if she was blind, and the sisters of the Ju family had also heard about it, so now it is said that they live by their face.

The next day they got married, and the three sisters, as Zhang Yongli's natal family, tossed and tossed all day, and didn't go home until after eight o'clock in the evening.

The three sisters were sitting on the kang and counting the red envelopes. Ju Wenqi, who stayed at home to watch the crazy grandma, came back from the outside and brought back a breaking news-Ruan Xiaofeng took his sister-in-law away!

Ruan Xiaofeng was originally the king of children, and he came down to help the family without finishing his first grade of junior high school.In the first two years, his elder brother went up the mountain to knock down pine cones, fell from a tree tens of meters high and disappeared, leaving his sister-in-law in her early twenties as a widow.

The two uncles and sisters-in-law are not much different in age and live under the same roof, so there must be gossip. What's more, some people say that the sister-in-law of the Ruan family has an affair with her father-in-law.The mother-in-law has always troubled Ruan's sister-in-law because of these irrelevant remarks. The Ruan family's sister-in-law has always endured it because of her soft personality. Who would have thought that this outbreak would make big news.

"It's good for the two of them to leave. They are both so young and can live anywhere. How difficult it is to stay in the village," Zhang Yongmei said with emotion.

After finishing speaking, she opened her account book and tapped, slapping her thigh in frustration.

"Why don't they come to our house to ask for the bill before they leave! Our family still owes them 200 yuan. We have paid off the big ones, and only a few odds and ends are left. I still think about it these days Pay it all back," Zhang Yongmei said with a sigh.

Ju Wenqi looked at the account book, and sighed, "Keep the account book, and pay it back later. If the time is too long, we will count it as interest, and it is okay to owe others money."

After gossiping about other families and talking about debt repayment, Ju Wenqi talked about another serious matter.

"Isn't there a policy of returning farmland to forests recently? You can get saplings to plant for free. I think that the wasteland on our mountain is just a busy job all year round. Why don't you plant trees? You'll feel bad if you don't plant them if you don't want to throw them away." , Ju Wenqi discussed with Zhang Yongmei.

That sloping land is really not good, the loess is barren and can't hold water, and it can harvest some things in normal years, but if it is dry, it will not harvest grains.After all, it was a wasteland that I worked so hard to open up, so it was a pity to just throw it away, so the Ju family gritted their teeth and insisted on planting that piece of land all these years.

Planting a tree is really good, at least it's better than throwing it away.

Moreover, the conversion of farmland to forests here is not the same as in other places. Farmers have two choices: don’t want trees, get subsidies; want trees, don’t get subsidies.

This place is considered a forest area, there is no shortage of trees, and all kinds of wood are not valuable, so farmers who return their farmland to forests will basically choose to get subsidies and not have trees.

After deciding to return the farmland to forests, Ju Wenqi discussed with Zhang Yongmei whether to get subsidies.

The three sisters have been listening by the side, following along with their ideas.

Ju Min said: "Trees grow too slowly. If you want to plant trees and sell them for money, you have to wait for many years, and the trees don't have to be planted. The land is so dry that you can't water it. It's too laborious and inappropriate."

Zhang Yongmei agreed with the eldest daughter very much, and said to Ju Wenqi: "I also think that it is not enough to have trees, and it is more appropriate to directly ask for subsidies."

Ju Wenqi was obviously loose, and just about to make a decision, Ju Jing said, "How much can I get for the subsidy? We can earn back by selling candied haws for a few more days in winter, and we need to spend time planting trees. I don't think it's worthwhile to get the subsidy. We might as well keep the tree for ourselves."

"The main reason is what can you do with the tree?" Ju Wenqi said with a headache.

This time it was Ju Ling who answered his question. She said, "Trees can be used as firewood, for building houses, and for making furniture."

Ju Jing nodded again and again, and added: "Dad, let's plant a tree this year, and the tree will almost be usable after more than ten years. At that time, when our little one got married, you just cut down the tree and gave her a set of furniture as a dowry. OK!"

Ju Ling:
With this alone, Ju Min was successfully brought over by his beloved sister, the mad demon Ju Min. In the end, when the whole family voted with a show of hands, only the crazy grandma who didn't know what happened stood at one end with Zhang Yongmei.
A few days later, Ju Wenqi and his wife went to the township government to bring back a cart of saplings.

It took them more than ten days to plant all the trees.It was also God who favored them. It rained heavily on the second day after the completion of the project, and the steps of watering could be saved.

Many families in the village would go to the mountains to herd cattle, and Ju Wenqi specially built a fence around them because he was afraid that the calves would run wild and spoil the saplings.

But if someone insists on destroying it, let alone a fence made of tree branches, even a wall made of stone and cement can be easily entered or destroyed.

The saplings have been planted for a year, and the survival rate is very high, and the growth is gratifying. In his free time, Ju Wenqi strolls over with his hands behind his back to have a look.

That day, he wandered over to look at the trees, only to see that his woodland had been destroyed.
