Chapter 1472: Scramble to open up wasteland
Some regret, some envy, some say sour words, always jealous.
Old man Sun has smoked more dry cigarettes these days, and he is silent. Especially when someone was talking about Sun Dahai’s watermelon field, he became even more silent.
He doesn't understand, why is that useless piece of land now turned into a sweet potato? Is Sunjiacun really suitable for growing watermelons?
The old lady Sun usually likes to talk to the old ladies in the village under the big locust tree. The family is short, because her family has 30 acres of land, and her son and children have decent errands in the county town, so there are some in the village. Face, often bragging here.
Just when Mrs. Sun said that the food in the ground was good, her son was doing decent things outside, and she was about to make a wedding with the rich lady in the county town.
The old lady Liu in the village laughed and said, "Oh, Mother Jiang, thanks to the sea of your home, you have planted half an acre of watermelon seedlings for our family. Hey, hey, the watermelon grows well. I said this year. I may be able to sell it at a good price. My daughter’s dowry and grandson’s dowry are pretty good."
"My house has only three-point sand, and it looks good." Another old lady said that the family had already calculated it secretly, and they could make a lot of money.
"You have sand in your home. You can grow a little more. I don’t have it. I can only grow them in the backyard. They look good. I counted them. There are seventy or eighty watermelons, big and small. Hey, if you don’t worry about watermelons. I don’t grow up, I have pinched some melons, and I can bear more!” Another old lady said enviously. This year there is less watermelon planting because of the lack of land. The old man in the family and his son have gone to open the sand for a year. , Can be planted next year.
There are not many people in the village who have this idea. Some people are not savvy, but they are not stupid. They see the patriarch everywhere reclaiming wasteland, looking for sandy land where grass can grow, and then contacting the sandy land where watermelon grows particularly well, and they understand what's going on. Now the whole village The males don't go out to do part-time jobs, they just open up wasteland at home.
The old lady Sun looked ugly when she heard this. She wanted to hear compliments from others, but she didn't want to hear her being envied because of Sun Dahai. After all, Sun Dahai had already been sent out, and she was no longer a member of their family.
"It’s better to grow watermelon and grow food. If it’s a famine, this watermelon can still be eaten as a meal!" Granny Sun retorted, with an unnatural expression on her face. Sun Dahai also asked Comrades to recognize him and go there to get them. Watermelon seedlings, but at the time she didn't think that watermelon could be grown better. Not only did she not want it, but she also ridiculed her, so she didn't have a watermelon seedling in her family.
Now that I see the village discussing watermelons, Mrs. Sun feels particularly uncomfortable. As the watermelons approach maturity, people in the village talk more. She doesn't admit it, but her heart is still greedy for the big round watermelons.
"But now is not the time of the famine. You can buy half a catty of rice for one catty of watermelon, and you can buy several acres of food for this acre of watermelon. It's a good deal!" These old ladies are hardworking and thrifty. You can quickly figure out which method is the most cost-effective.
The old lady Sun was so speechless that she was holding the sewing basket and went back angrily.
When Mrs. Sun left, Mrs. Liu curled her lips, "Before, the family was so mean, and the family was lame. They felt that they had eaten rice, so they drove the family back. It was really mean. Sun Dahu is not a thing, either. Actually deceived two nephews to work in a logging farm. How old are those two children in the sea. This grandson Dahu loses his conscience and his heart is crooked..."
