Chapter 2714 Get Rich
"If you really want experience, that's a worldly problem. Pigs have to be raised for a long time. Piglets caught at the beginning of the year will definitely not grow if they are killed at the end of the year," she said.
Mrs. Sun snapped her fingers and said, "I understand. Next time someone asks me about my experience, I will just say that it will take at least a year and a half."
Yang Ruoqing smiled happily, "The enemy!"
Here, Mrs. Sun asked the eldest Sun: "There are so many people today during the day, so it's hard to ask, how much did this pig treasure cost?"
Da Sun said: "Mom, guess what."
Old Mrs. Sun said: "How can I, an old woman, guess these things?"
Mrs. Sun stretched out a finger and made a gesture.
Old Mrs. Sun said: "One tael of silver?"
Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes, "One tael of silver, then I won't bother to go to the county seat."
Mrs. Sun's eyes shrank, her voice trembled slightly, and she asked again: "Twelve?"
Ten taels of silver, that’s the price of three big fat pigs!
Da Sun said: "One hundred taels!"
"ah?"
Mrs. Sun was so excited that her voice was trembling when she spoke.
"How much? One hundred taels? Did I hear correctly?" she asked.
Da Sun said: "Hahaha, when I heard Qing'er calculating the price with them, and said it was one hundred taels, I thought I was dreaming!"
"It's true, it's a hundred taels, and I got a banknote!"
Mrs. Sun took out the banknote from her arms and shook it, then quickly put it back into her arms and kept it carefully.
"How much money does our family have?" Mrs. Sun asked again.
The eldest Sun made some calculations and found that there was nothing to hide in front of Yang Ruoqing and Sun. He said directly: "In the past few years, I have saved a fortune of fifty taels of silver by raising pigs. Adding these one hundred taels, we have
One hundred and fifty taels."
When Mrs. Sun heard this, she clicked her tongue.
"Don't let your life be too good," the old lady murmured.
"In the past, in Sunjiagou, if you could see two taels of silver throughout the year, you would be thankful," she said.
Da Sun said: "So, it is the wisest for us to move out. You and my father were not very happy at the beginning, and you were reluctant to leave the three shabby adobe houses in Sunjiagou!"
Old Suntou had been smoking happily there. When he heard Da Sun's words, the old man frowned and stared at Da Sun.
"You can't say that." He said.
"No matter how much money we make now, even if we have too many comfortable days, we can't forget our roots and our former poor family."
"That's where our roots are, where your father, me, and your sisters, Dajie and Xiaojie, were born." Lao Suntou said.
"We move out. We really can't live any longer. We must never forget our roots!" he warned again.
Seeing the old man's serious look, Mrs. Sun knew that what she said was a little impetuous.
She didn't care about her sore waist and back pain, and quickly sat up. She changed her face from laughing and joking, and said respectfully: "What dad taught me is, don't worry, I will not forget my roots."
Old Suntou then gave up and started smoking a dry cigarette.
Here, Mrs. Sun asked the elder Sun and his wife again: "What are we going to buy with the money?"
The elder Sun and his wife looked at each other, and then Uncle Yang Ruoqing looked at the old Sun and said with a smile: "It depends on our father's arrangement."
Lao Suntou pulled out the tobacco stick from his mouth and said: "I have been thinking about this matter for the past two days. My plan is that Dajie and the daughter of the Daniel family are engaged, and we have agreed to get married in the first month of next year.
"
"I want to buy a piece of land on the other side of the road, opposite Lao San's house, and build a two-indoor yard like Lao San's house."
"My granddaughter-in-law is about to come in. She will be able to spread her branches and make use of the house in the future."
"Your mother and I, two old people, still live in this courtyard at first. We have lived here for several years and are used to it. We don't want to move."
"You all go live in the new house, that's it." Lao Suntou said.
The eldest son and his wife were both shocked. The eldest son asked hurriedly: "Dad, you and your mother live with us. It will be more convenient to take care of you. If you are like this, in the eyes of others, isn't it just a disguised separation?"
Are you home yet? I won’t do it!”
Uncle Yang Ruoqing also said: "If we want to stay together, we will stay together, if we want to go together, we will go together. We are a family!"
Seeing their daughter and son-in-law's filial piety, Old Sun and Mrs. Sun exchanged glances, and both of them were filled with joy.
Lao Suntou continued: "You are all filial children, and your mother and I understand that."
"You just go and live in the new house, stay with Dajie and his wife, and help them take care of their children in the future."
"We are both old, now we can run and walk, and we can take care of ourselves."
"Besides, the pig farm is over here, and someone needs to be guarded here. It's just right for me and your mother to stay," he said.
Mrs. Sun was anxious, "No, I won't worry if you are not under my nose."
Mrs. Sun smiled: "You silly kid, what are you worried about?"
"Let's just shout across a road and the other side will hear us."
"Besides, your sister's house is in the next yard. Your father and I are sandwiched between your sister's family. How wonderful and blessed this is!"
"But, mother..."
"Okay, just listen to me and your father, this matter is settled." Mrs. Sun made the final decision.
"While the iron is hot, I will bring some gifts at night and go sit with some villagers in the village for a while and talk about the homestead. After all, we are from other villages. To build a house here, we must visit them first. This
It should be." Old Mrs. Sun warned again.
The elder Sun family members looked at each other, knowing that they couldn't defeat Mrs. Sun, so they would leave it like that for now.
When the house is built, we will definitely have to prepare a house for the old couple.
When the time comes, come directly over and carry the old couple’s bedding and other things, as well as the chamber pot and toilet they used to pee on. Are you afraid that they won’t be able to get through?
When everyone had dispersed and only Old Sun Tou and Old Mrs. Sun were left in the room, Old Sun Tou looked at his wife who had been with him all his life, and the old man's face was filled with emotion.
"After all, I am not as capable as the children. You have been with me all your life. From your dark braids to your white hair now, I have never let you have a good meal of meat or count your money. Alas!
"Lao Suntou sighed and shook his head, his face full of shame.
Mrs. Sun gave Old Sun an angry look and said: "How old are you, and you still say such heart-wrenching words? You don't think you are too angry?"
Old Sun was stunned for a moment, then grinned.
"The children are not here right now, so don't be afraid. As long as you don't laugh at me, old lady," he said.
Mrs. Sun curled her lips and smiled.
"When I gave birth to my eldest daughter, I was very weak. When I saw you coming back from working in the fields, I squatted in front of the bed and washed my daughter's diapers."
"At that moment, I told myself in my heart that in this life, even if I eat up all the bark on the mountain, I will still be with this man."
"No matter how capable he is, I'll just be sure."
"A man can put aside his arrogance to serve his wife during her confinement period and wash her diapers."
