After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

Chapter 183: No Food Selling

After all the rice was dried, Lan Xin also lined up to take her turn to thresh the rice.

Lan Xin immediately prepared several large bags of rice and threshed them into large, white rice grains. The remaining rice was used as public grain payment.

God knows how surprised Lan Xin was when she heard about the policy of paying public grain. There were only three people in her family, so the population was relatively simple and the amount of grain to be paid was not much. But when she saw the sacks of dried rice being put aside and prepared to be used to pay the public grain later, she felt so distressed.

Lan Xin suddenly understood why the villagers were pointing fingers at her and saying she was a spendthrift when she hired people to harvest rice. It turned out that there was also the matter of paying public grain. The grain was not completely hers after she planted it or harvested it, and if she still had to hire someone to harvest it, she would be completely losing money.

Although she was depressed, Lan Xin had no regrets. She knew how important she was. She would be exhausted to death if she had to harvest so many acres of land by herself!

"Lan Xin, how do you want to sell your rice?"

At the dinner table, Old Man Lan took a puff of his tobacco and asked.

Now that land is contracted to each household and managed independently, farmers will plant more rice, not only for their own consumption, but also to make some money by selling the newly harvested rice.

Some frugal people will sell all the newly harvested rice this year and buy older rice for their own family, just to save more money.

Yuan Lanxin was not so frugal, but she would sell most of the new rice harvested every year and use the money to support her family.

Now it was Lan Xin's turn. The money earned from selling rice was nothing to her, so she shook her head.

"I won't sell it anymore. I worked so hard to grow the rice. Now that I have money, I will definitely eat it myself."

If I sell it, the money I earn won't even cover the wages of hiring someone, so why bother?

Lan Qing and the others also lowered their heads and thought about it. Now that the rice harvest is over, the farm work in the fields will not be too busy until the peanut harvest in mid-September, which means they can continue to sell tea eggs.

While they were busy harvesting rice these days, they all felt itchy in their hearts, thinking about how many tea eggs they could sell and how much money they could make every day.

Lan Xin's tea egg business gave them an opportunity to make money. Lan Qing and his friends are no longer like traditional farmers who just focus on their few acres of land and think about how much they can sell it for.

They can now smile and nod cheerfully.

"Yes, it takes so long from planting to harvesting rice, and we work so hard every day, but we don't have many meals of white rice. I don't want to sell the rice this time."

"I don't want to sell it anymore. Now every family is selling new grain, and the price is so low. It seems like I have worked in vain for the past six months."

"If we don't sell these grains, will we be able to eat white rice three times a day in the future?"

Seeing Lan He acting stupid and suddenly saying such a stupid thing, Xu Rufang pushed him and scolded him with a smile: "Go to hell, you are so imaginative."

The daughters-in-law all agreed with their husbands' idea of ​​not selling new grain. The price of grain was getting lower and lower every year. With that little money, they might as well eat their own food and make more trips to the mountain to sell more tea eggs.

"It's still Aunt Mo who knows how to use the abacus." Li Xia suddenly said.

"Most of her family's fields are used to grow tomatoes and cucumbers. The rest is used to grow rice, and they only grow enough for their family to eat. They use money to pay the public grain. Now they harvest the rice early and go to Sanqing Mountain to sell fruits and vegetables. They can earn back the money by selling for a few more days, and they don't have to work so hard." Li Xia stretched out her fingers and counted bit by bit.

You wouldn’t know until you calculated it. After this calculation, you will find that Aunt Mo’s family is really smart.

Li Xia had never noticed these things before. After all, the village was so big and there were so many people, how could she notice them all? But after she got to know Aunt Mo's family, she observed them from time to time, and she really discovered something.

After hearing what Li Xia said, everyone in the room couldn't help but look thoughtful.

"Okay, in that case, I'll report to the office and tell them not to sell the remaining food and eat it myself." Old Man Lan patted the table and made his decision.

"Lan Xin, when will these tea eggs start selling?" Chen Baoni looked at Lan Xin and asked.

During the past half month, Lan Xin only sold tea eggs for two days and then came back to work in the fields. Lan Xi did not continue selling either, as they were able to register for their senior year of high school a week ago.

Lanxi hurriedly took the money he had earned in the past few days to go to the school to sign up for repeating the year. That day, Old Man Lan went with him. He didn't know who he talked to or what, but Lanxi successfully signed up for repeating the year and was transferred to a senior class. He followed them and lived in the dormitory when school started the next day.

That day, Lanxi held Lanxin's hand and cried loudly, saying non-stop: "It's all because of my sister, my big brother, my second brother, my third brother, and my parents that I have this opportunity to repeat my studies..."

Lan Xi talked a lot over and over again, and his words were incoherent. In the end, Lan Xin stepped on his shoulder and pressed him down.

"That's enough. There's no point in saying more. Just study hard this year. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Believe in yourself and try your best!!"

The next day, I packed it up and threw it away. I thought he would be mature and sensible after selling tea eggs for so long, but he was still crying.

Of course, Lan Xi is only like this in front of his family. In front of outsiders, he is still very mature and able to scare others.

"Let's start selling the day after tomorrow. I'll tell Sister Cuihua and Yingjie later. We'll resume work the day after tomorrow, and the child's school will also start registration the day after tomorrow. I think I'll take a rest tomorrow and spend time with the child." Lan Xin said after thinking for a while.

Lan Qing and the others had no objection to Lan Xin's arrangement, although they were thinking that they could make more money by starting work earlier and selling tea eggs a day earlier.

But children are also very important. Their children, whether they are in elementary school or junior high school, will also register tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

"Okay, let's just say that."

"Yingying is only five years old. Should she go to the first grade too?" Chen Baoni asked worriedly.

There is none in the kindergarten.

However, there are preschool classes in primary schools. Children who are young can attend preschool for one or two years. When they are older or able to study, they can go to the first grade. The school does not have a clear age limit for accepting children. As long as they are not too young, they are willing to accept them.

Yueyue is 8 years old this year and is in the third grade.

Yingying is 5 years old and attends the preschool class in primary school.

The school is not in Lanjia Village, but in a nearby village. The commune is also there. Children from the nearby area go there for elementary and junior high school.

On weekdays, children don’t need to be picked up by their parents to go to school. Children from the same village go out in groups, playing and running, and then go home.
