Chapter 230: The Pigs Are About to Be Slaughtered!
Lao Qin's wife, Zhang Xueli, was also there. If Lao Qin had spoken like this before, Zhang Xueli would definitely have objected.
Why should her family sell things based on what Ji Jianyun says?
But since she had a falling out with her maternal family, she didn't go back for the New Year last year, and she didnt plan to go back for the New Year this year.
Now she would not say anything.
After Ji Jianyun left, Lao Qin gave her the roast duck. Take it in and add it to our dinner tonight. This is the authentic roast duck from the capital!
Zhang Xueli took the roast duck and said, I don't know who his brother-in-law or sister is.
Lao Qin said, If they come over to buy something, theyll introduce themselves.
In fact, he didn't know them either, but Jianyun must have talked to them.
Lao Qin still knew his wife, and he specifically said, You can be polite, but don't make them look bad. Jianyun's brother-in-law is teaching third years in the county middle school. Maybe we will have a good relationship with him!
He knew that Li Zhi was a teacher from Ji Jianyun.
A teacher? Zhang Xueli couldn't help but ask.
That's right. He graduated from college and could have gone to teach high school, but he saw that the county school was close to his home, so he chose to teach there, Lao Qin said. This was what Ji Jianyun boasted to him.
Zhang Xueli was reluctant at first, but when she heard this, she was going to remember it.
Her husbands words had some truth to it. Although her children were still in elementary school, they would be entering middle school soon.
The relationship was there, so it had to go well.
It's just that after a few days, no one came to buy anything.
Zhang Xueli asked Lao Qin about it, but Lao Qin didn't worry. When they come, they will come, and if they don't come, they wont. What's the matter?
So Zhang Xueli didn't worry about it anymore, and changed the topic to talk about the rent increase that happened to the shop next door. The fight was so intense! It was more fierce than ours!
Has their contract expired yet? Lao Qin asked.
He also knew the neighbor. Although they were also in the same business, their relationship was still good. It was the opposite of being enemies.
Lao Qin also knew that the contract hadn't expired.
The landlord insists on raising the rent, so who cares about the contract? Zhang Xueli said. Then she continued, Fortunately, we bought this shop, and it was a done deal!
Then you should be grateful for Jianyun. If it weren't for him, we would still be having trouble now, Lao Qin said after hearing that.
It cost more than 3,000 yuan to buy this shop, and Jianyun gave him 2,000 yuan, which he was still paying back.
That's why his family believed that they had settled down in the county town, otherwise how could they have such a stable life?
This shop used to cost 3,000 yuan, and now the value has increased by a lot!
Zhang Xueli didn't say anything after hearing that.
Father Qin and Mother Qin came over. The old couple lived here.
When they came over, Lao Qin said, Fortunately, Jianyun helped us and I bought this house. If we didnt, our family would be in a lot of trouble.
Their business was very good, so the other landlords were jealous. They were renting before, and since they bought the place they didnt have to argue with anyone.
As for Ji Jianyun, Father Qin and Mother Qin liked him a lot. Before marrying his wife, Ji Jianyun would visit a few times, and every time Mother Qin would make him delicious food. Ji Jianyun's ability to keep bees was from what Father Qin had taught. Father Qin didn't hide anything, and taught him everything.
What the old couple did was not as much as what Ji Jianyun did with helping their son buy a shop to have a stable life.
Have you saved enough money? Mother Qin asked her son in private.
Lao Qin nodded and said, Mother, don't worry, I will have enough money saved up soon, and then I will give it all to Jianyun.
That's good. Mother Qin nodded. Jianyun is too kind. We can't ask for too much, everything should be equal.
Lao Qin smiled. Jianyun and I don't care about these things.
Two weeks later, he returned the last amount of money he had borrowed in one lump sum. He had made precious payments before and this was the final payment of 700 yuan.
I'm not short of money here, Ji Jianyun said to him. Do you want to buy a house first?
Lao Qin's children and his parents lived together in the shop. Although the shop was spacious, it was a bit cramped with so many people living there.
I'll buy it next year, Lao Qin said.
Ji Jianyun took the money. I'll kill the pig in a few days, this year the pigs are a bit expensive.
That's fine, it's still affordable, Lao Qin said.
Ji Jianyun said, I don't plan to raise more next year, just ten or so.
He had so much land and the workers on the mountains should be doing work. Even if they didnt raise pigs, they made a profit elsewhere.
Youre not raising more? Lao Qin had to ask when he heard that.
He was already planning to raise a few pigs. The price of pork was almost three yuan a jin now.
The price will fall down next year, so don't raise too much, Ji Jianyun said.
Lao Qin was taken aback when he heard that. How can it fall?
Im sure, it won't be long. Ji Jianyun nodded.
Then I won't raise more, Lao Qin said.
After paying the money, Lao Qin bought a few more baskets of eggs, a lot of live chickens, and some dried persimmon to sell.
Did uncle and aunt finish the honey? Ji Jianyun asked after bringing out two bottles of honey.
There's another bottle, Lao Qin said.
Take it back for them. Ji Jianyun handed it to him.
Lao Qin took it, and went back.
Ji Jianyun was busy because the pigs were going to be slaughtered. Aside from the pig he killed for food, there were still 29 pigs to go.
Each pig weighed more than 300 jin. Ji Feng came to gather the pigs, and was shocked to see them. He thought that Uncle Jianyun was really amazing, so many pigs were so fat and so well raised!
It was also because there were so many pigs that they needed to be slaughtered. His uncle, Yang Aisen, and Xu Jianguo were cooking pig food almost every day. Even Ji Jianhe was asked by Ji Jianyun to help with the work.
After being beaten by him for such a long time, Ji Jianhe obediently went to do his job when Ji Jianyun told him what to do. There were a few times that he slacked off, and when Ji Jianyun saw it, he was beaten for seven or eight days. He still had to work afterwards, and it was so miserable!
