Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich - Chapter 114: Sister Xu of the Village Committee

Chapter 114: Sister Xu of the Village Committee

Aunt Li was suspicious, but Ji Jianhe was really tired of it. “Mother, I’m not going. This water has nothing to do with other water. If you want me to see what really has to do with the orchard growing, then it has to do with the chicken poop as the fertilizer . Look at the chicken poop. Our fruit trees have been growing better the past two weeks. What does it have to do with brother Jianyun’s water?”

After carrying water like a fool for half a month, what they thought was important for success didn’t do anything. He only got frightened by the big black dog. He was already tired of it.

Aside from him, even his brother, Ji Jianchuan, said, “Mother, Jianhe and I will not go there to carry water, but we will sometimes dig out some chicken poop to fertilize the fruit trees.”

Aunt Li didn’t give up and planned to have the two brothers continue to carry water over. She didn’t believe that the water had nothing to do with it. If it didn’t, then why didn’t they go to the village to get water and insisted on carrying water from the well in Jianyun’s backyard?

In the end, Uncle Ji made the final decision. “Don’t get water in the future. Don’t bother with it, just get fertilizer and manage the orchard!”

At first, it was enough to use fertilizer. Aunt Li, this wife, insisted that there was something more and suspected that there was something wrong with the water. There was no difference after watering the trees for so long that she was embarrassed.

When Ji Jianchuan went to carry water up the mountain the day before yesterday, his younger brother’s wife asked him if was carrying water and if the well in the village was running out of water.

Ji Jianyun was a considerate relative for allowing them to dig out fertilizer. He was still being suspected of hiding a secret as they troubled his family from using his water every day. What was this called? It was called taking an inch when they wanted a foot. They didn’t realize how Ji Jianyun only had good intentions!

Aunt Li didn’t want to believe it, so she didn’t say anything.

She felt a little unreasonable now, but she just couldn’t accept the truth.

When Ji Jianchuan did not come to get water, he went over to talk about the orchard on the mountain, and Ji Jianyun agreed to it.

Ji Jianchuan sighed. “The soil on the mountain is not very suitable for planting fruit trees.” This was what Lao Qin taught them. Experienced fruit farmers said that their land couldn’t be fertilized. Weeds did not grow there, so how could fruit trees grow?

The fruit farmers didn’t even come to see their land, they only listened to what they said.

Moreover, these people worked as farmers for the majority of their lives, so how could they not know? But Ji Jianchuan’s family saw how Jianyun was able to set up an orchard, and they wanted to try it out of jealousy.

At first, when his family signed the contract to plant fruit trees at the top of the mountain, he actually opposed it. However, his mother insisted, and his father wanted to do it. Thus, he had to invest using his family’s money.

The end result was that they threw money away. They wanted to continue growing things, but didn’t see any hope in doing so.

But now with chicken poop, the orchard’s situation looked a little better. After that, who knows?

“Just keep trying. How many children are there in your family? You can’t lose your job working in the field,” Ji Jianyun said.

They were cousins, so it was fine to discuss these things.

Ji Jianchuan nodded. He couldn’t stop working on the field. This was their livelihood.

“If you and second sister-in-law are having any difficulties, you can come find me. You have seen the chicken farm on my mountain. I plan on expanding it a bit, so I have to find someone to work there,” Ji Jianyun said.

When Ji Jianchuan heard this, he looked shocked. He asked, “You still need someone?Jianyun, do you think I can do it?”

“Yes, but don’t tell anyone. If you want to do it, you can come find me. I can give you a chance,” Ji Jianyun said. (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ ℝ𝕖𝕒𝕕 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕗𝕣𝕖𝕖 𝕠𝕟 𝕗𝕠𝕩𝕒𝕙𝕠𝕝𝕚𝕔.𝕔𝕠𝕞♥

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, his uncle’s fruit trees still did not grow any fruit. They would have to see what the situation was like next year. Although the fertilizer had been placed, the chance of getting fruits was small.

Ji Jianchuan went back with good spirits. ꜱᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴀɴꜱʟᴀᴛᴏʀ ᴀɴᴅ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴏɴ ꜰᴏxᴀʜᴏʟɪᴄ.ᴄᴏᴍ

Su Danhong was making mooncakes in the kitchen. Last time she made them, the mooncakes were very delicious. It had bean paste and sesame seeds, salted eggs and lotus paste. In short, she ate some and wanted more.

There was basically nothing going on at home now. She was making food for herself every day. Her belly made her hungry very quickly, and she was hungrier than when she was pregnant with Renren during the early stages. In the past, Renren ate a lot more during the later stage. But now Su Danhong was less than five months pregnant, and could eat everything.

Her appetite had caught up with Ji Jianyun’s appetite. She also knew not to eat too much, but she was extremely hungry!

Ji Jianyun came to help and said that his uncle’s family was not going to get water from them in the future. Su Danhong did not mind. Her orchard was successful now. Back then, she took a small watering can to sprinkle spiritual spring water every day, which slowly yielded results. Meanwhile, Aunt Li’s family came to fetch water from the well, but what was the use of ordinary water?

The chickens on the mountain still drink the spiritual spring water brought by Ji Jianyun every day. The chicken poop was still useful, but it was certainly not as good as using the spiritual spring water directly.

It’s up to them whether they could get their orchard to bear fruit or not.

Su Danhong made more mooncakes this time. She made seven or eight jin of mooncakes. Once it was given out, there were about two jin left over.

She couldn’t eat mooncakes alone after making them. Her parents-in-law liked them a lot, so she took two jin of it to the mountain to let them nibble on it once in a while. Her mother liked to eat it too, so she had to give two jin to her mother. Only half was left at this point. She gave one jin to her second brother. The other jin was split between Hou Wazi, Xiaozhen, and Xiaoyu. She ended up with almost two jin left.

Two jin was a decent amount. If there was too much food, she would not be able to eat it all. If there was less food, she would have a craving for it.

Ji Jianyun also liked to eat the moon cake his wife made. However, he wasn’t particular about it. He would just have a taste of it, and he didn’t eat more.

That night, Ji Jianyun asked, “Honey, how about I take you to town in a few days? Why don’t you stay in town for a while?”

“Go to town? Is it because of the family planning problem?” Su Danhong questioned.

“Yeah.” Ji Jianyun nodded. His wife’s belly was getting bigger and bigger. The villa could arrest them and get rid of it by force.

“It’s all right. Our family is now a well-known household in the village. Who would dare to arrest me? The sister Xu of the village committee is still an elder sister in Xu Aidang’s clan. I have a jin of mooncakes left in the kitchen. Give it to her, and just mention it to her,” Su Danhong instructed.

This was the sister Xu who was on the phone with her when Ji Jianyun was still in the army and was injured. Su Danhong was pregnant and it was the first time her stomach moved, so she was startled. It was that sister Xu who reminded her that it was just fetal movement and there were no other issues.

After that, she kept in contact with sister Xu. She was a village committee member’s wife and would usually go to the village committee to help.

When the fruits were ripe, Su Danhong carried a bag of various fruits and talked to sister Xu for half an hour before she came back. Sister Xu also came to the house to see her, thus they had a friendship.

Ji Jianyun didn’t know about these things, and he was a little surprised.

“It’s a woman’s personal business. Just take it and tell her that I’m five months pregnant. She will know what to do,” Su Danhong said.
