"Silly boy!" Mrs. Li glared at her son angrily, and finally sighed, "People in this world do everything for themselves, and that's right. After all, if you don't care for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. . But if you want to succeed and want others to facilitate you, you will inevitably have to think of ways.
"For example, the simplest way is to give way. If you shout, 'Make way, I want to pass!' '. The others are reluctant, after all, they are making way for you, and it is no good for them to cause trouble.
"You should shout, 'Hot water, spill it, spill it, don't get burned!' Everyone was afraid of suffering a loss and immediately got out of the way.
"In the final analysis, try your best to turn your business into everyone's business. It went smoothly. "
Li Laosan is not an idiot, so he began to try to draw inferences from one example. "Mom, do you think I would use part of the profits from the cafeteria to hold some kind of calligraphy and painting competition every year, and buy some pens, inks, paper and inkstones as prizes? Would that be okay?
"In this way, the students will not think that we are businessmen doing business, but a part of the college, and they will feel less resistant. Isn't it good for Jiaren and the others?"
Without waiting for my mother to respond, he continued: "The college My teachers and students all know that we have good flowers at home. Would you like to send a few pots occasionally so that you can tell the students about them? The students must have only heard about them but never seen them, so they can also gain knowledge.
" And, and more! We can also prepare some tables and chairs to put outside the canteen. There is an open space there. Even if you plant some ordinary flowers and plants, it would be nice to sit outside and eat while enjoying the scenery! Scholars like this kind of elegant thing. Then the canteen will be more than just a place to sell food! "
Old Mrs. Li listened carefully to her son's words, and when she saw him dancing happily, she also laughed, "My mother doesn't understand these things, just ask Fu Niu'er. This kid has a lot of ideas in his head. You two can discuss it. "
While talking like this, the mother and son walked to the end of the field.
Wu Laojiu and others were very concerned about it. After all, this vegetable field would be taken care of by their family in the future.
"Let's go back first, and I will come over to visit the village in the evening . Commander, try to make arrangements today so that you can settle down and start working tomorrow. "Li Laosan said.
Everyone got on the carriage and went all the way back to the town.
Jiayin had woken up early and saw no family members. He guessed that they were busy, so he made trouble with his sister-in-law to buy sticky cakes.
Wenjuan took the change and I took my sister-in-law out.
Soon, she came back with a box of sticky cakes!
Jiayin took her sister-in-law and sat under the eaves of the verandah to eat together.
Shuiling also got two pieces and followed them with a smile.
So, Mrs. Li and others came back from outside , when I entered the door, I saw under the eaves of the corridor, and I was afraid that there were two people sitting there, one big and one small, playing with sticky cakes.
Jiayin and Shuiling were just fine, Wenjuan was the daughter-in-law, and it was so rude to be seen by her grandmother and father-in-law as being so childish. .
She blushed and quickly stuffed the sticky cake into her mouth, choking violently.
Mrs. Li smiled with a few wrinkles on her face. She stepped forward and patted her grandson's wife on the back, comforting her: "Why are you panicking? , we are all a family, who can laugh at you? "
Wenjuan's face turned redder, but she felt sweet in her heart. Grandma treated her like a child!
After a while, Zhao Yuru, Tao Hongying and others also came back.
There were many rooms in the small courtyard, but there were so many people living there all at once. It was a bit crowded.
So, Second Sister-in-law Sun and Dazhu's wife made arrangements to go to the canteen to settle down tonight. They had just quickly tidied up the place.
Zhao Yuru didn't stop them, leaving them to have a good meal.
For a while, the women were crowded in the kitchen cooking, and the men were sitting at the door chatting.
The elderly and children were sitting under the eaves of the verandah eating sticky cakes. The small courtyard was extremely lively.
Besides, in Xincun, in the courtyard of Li's family, Mr. Li Facing the two dishes on the table and a bowl of white rice, I really lost my appetite.
I just took my sister-in-law and niece to Luoan. Why did the eldest brother stay in the restaurant and didn't come back?! He was the only one eating in this huge courtyard. How pitiful he was!
Even Shuiyun, Zheng He, Zheng Feng and Ye Tong were also gathered in the kitchen, eating happily.
He simply found a tray, brought the food, and went straight to the backyard to find Uncle Zhao and other old men to eat together...
Uncle Zhao couldn't help laughing when he saw Mr. Li coming in like this.
Uncle Wei gave a chair to Li Lao Er and joked: "Why, uncle has been abandoned by the family and no one cares about you?"
"That's not true!" Li Lao Er couldn't laugh or cry, "I doubt that my eldest brother wants me to be a This uncle just leaves me to look after the house."
Everyone laughed. Uncle Zhao specially opened the wine jar and divided half a bowl into each person. He didn't forget to tell Li Laoer, "Drink it. After you go home, Go to sleep, otherwise the house will be quietest at night and you will feel even worse."
This is a rule of thumb. You must know that before they met the Li family, they had spent countless long nights like this.
Li Laoer didn't want the old men to think of the sad past, so he quickly changed the conversation and said that the family's fleet was coming back and he would take the old men to the dock by car.
Since the old men arrived at Broken Gold Beach, they rarely go into the city, let alone go out for long walks.
They are like loyal old yellow dogs, guarding the door of the house conscientiously, day and night, never slacking off.
When they heard that they were going out for a walk, of course everyone was happy, but they couldn't let go of home. They started talking about it, which made the dinner table even more lively.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Li Laosan led Wu Laojiu's family to a village called Xiaohe outside the town.
Last night, he had already met with the village chief of Xiaohe Village, gave him generous gifts, and leased out twenty acres of land. He even rented three adobe rooms in the yard of an old man living alone in the village.
At this time, Wu Laojiu's family brought bedding, pots and pans, gathered half a car, and went directly to the village to settle down.
Sister-in-law Wu Jiu didn't talk much, but she had a smiling face. When the carriage entered the village and was surrounded by children, she took out the sesame candies she bought yesterday and scattered them out, making the children happily run home.
After a while, the whole village knew that there was a new person.
As the village chief brought his brother Tian Mancang and his family around, everyone heard more clearly while exchanging pleasantries.
The Li family was kind and generous. Apart from the taxes and grain that had to be paid on the farmland that was being farmed out, the Li family and the tenants each had half of the remaining harvest.
This is much better than the market price.
At least one mu of land a year can give a tenant an extra twenty or thirty kilograms of grain. Ten acres of land is two to three hundred kilograms.
Don't underestimate these 200 kilograms of grain. In times of disaster, it is enough for a family to survive.
Some villagers were jealous and unhappy after hearing this, and whispered sourly: "When did this happen? Why didn't we know that the land outside the village was going to be leased? Such a good thing has been taken over by the Tian family!"
Just in time, The Bai family, the second largest family in the village, came over at this time.
The three sons of the Bai family are all married, and no one dares to bully them in the village.
At this moment, a villager hurried over and said a few words, and finally complained: "The Tian family has taken advantage of all the good things, and is prepared to prevent us from fighting for it. It was secretly decided last night, and it was only revealed this morning."
