Chapter 172 – Ji Jianyun’s Plan

Su Danhong went to pay everyone, and everyone verified their payment.

She was not like when she first came here and rarely went out. She had pretty much walked over all of the village. In the past year, she had gotten along well with the villagers.

“Danhong, there are still freshly fried sunflower seeds at home. Would you like to eat some?” an aunt asked with a smile.

“No, thank you. I’m still breastfeeding, and I’m afraid that it’ll be too much heat,” Su Danhong replied back with a smile.

The aunt laughed and said, “That’s true. You are so careful about raising your children, how can we say anything against that? And since you raise them so well, they can go to college in the future!”

This was something Su Danhong liked to hear.

The aunt lowered her voice and asked, “By the way, Danhong, is your younger sister-in-law looking for anyone?”

Su Danhong was not going to interfere in the matter of finding Ji Yunyun a husband. She heard this and she said, “I don’t know. If you want to know, you can ask my mother. My sister-in-law is not married yet, and she should be the most clear about that.”

Su Danhong definitely would not say whether Ji Yunyun was going to marry someone in their hometown.

They needed to ask her mother-in-law about it.

Su Danhong went to the other families to pay them. It didn’t take her much time. She came back in about half an hour.

She told Ji Jianyun about Aunt Cai’s question about Ji Yunyun’s marriage. Ji Jianyun could only say, “Yunyun is an adult. It’s normal for someone to ask about it. But her matters have nothing to do with us. Aunt Cai should go and ask mother about it.”

He could never say that he didn’t hope his sister would live well. But just because he hoped for it, did not mean it would happen. With her personality, she would most likely have a lot of trouble once she was married.

Ji Jianyun is really busy now. He had no energy to be distracted by these things.

Su Danhong didn’t say more, and the matter was over.

The couple began to calculate the expenses.

The labor cost in the past few months was pretty high, and the long-term labor costs were even. The short-term labor cost was nearly 200 yuan. With the long-term labor costs added, the amount was not small.

While the cost was not small, the harvest was good. This year’s fruit also cost a little more, and cherry prices rose the most. The price increase was not much, but the quantity was.

After deducting the costs, such as labor costs, gas costs, meals, and so on, they had almost earned enough for the fine Lao San would have to pay in the past few months.

Su Danhong was quite happy with this. She was doing less embroidery, so the whole family depended on Ji Jianyun to work. She looked at her husband. Although he was a little tired, he was in good spirits. He was also a lot more confident, and looked more attractive.

Well, at least she was more attracted to him.

“Wife, do you think we can buy a piece of land and keep it for crops?” Ji Jianyun finished his calculations and leaned over to discuss things with his wife.

“Buy land to grow crops? Do you mean you want to build another farm?” Su Danhong asked as soon as she heard him.

Ji Jianyun was surprised, nodded and said, “That’s pretty much what I mean.”

“Okay,” Su Danhong said.

In her past life, aside from the businesses, her family had a lot of farms. The harvest from the farms was also good.

“Really?” Ji Jianyun was very happy.

Su Danhong said, “Yes, but you don’t tire yourself out too much. You should always remember that we are dependent on you. If you collapse, everything will be done in vain.”

There won’t be any problems in having another farm. They could just hire someone to manage it. She didn’t want her man to be so exhausted that it harmed his health.

Ji Jianyun was a strong man. Although he was busy for a while, his appetite had increased. He had bone congee in the morning. He went to a restaurant during busy working times, where he ate very well for lunch. When he came back in the evening, his wife made him a lot of delicious food and was waiting for him to come back to eat. Sometimes, she would still boil him a pot of herbal water to soak his feet.

His wife gave him the best care. She was simply the fuel to his engine!

Ji Jianyun told his wife all his plans and said, “I’ve thought through everything. I’m going to buy the land with the money I earn this time. We’ll hire villagers to help us grow the crops. Then we’ll transport the crops that grow from our land to the college town and sell them. This is our own product!”

“Will it be different from the villagers?” Su Danhong questioned.

”
”
He was atheist, and now believes. The products from his family were really different from other people’s families. The products from his family were excellent. Needless to say, the products from other people’s families were not bad. But compared to products from his family, the quality was a little less.

The shop in the college town had recurring customers. Those recurring customers were perceptive and immediately knew whether the products were produced by his family.

Ji Jianyun was going to keep transporting the other villager’s products. He transported a lot of beans last time. Although he didn’t say if it was from his family, Uncle Gao later asked him if the black beans and red beans he bought last time were from his family.

Ji Jianyun was confused and asked if there was a problem with the quality. He paid a lot of attention to the quality. He had looked through everything he bought from the villagers before, and it was all good. It was always the latest picked products.

Uncle Gao said that the beans were good, but if he was to sell them again next time, he should sell the ones from his family. Although other people’s food was also good, it always lacked a taste that enticed people to eat more.

For example, his family’s honey, eggs, live chicken and all the fruits were things they never got tired of eating.

Many people still thought that their bodies seemed to be a little stronger because of the things from his family.

Ji Jianyun laughed and asked him if they would only buy his family’s products in the future. He spilled out his future plans that his shop would only sell products from his family.

During the busy fruit season, the shop in the college town would put fresh fruit to sell every day. But now there was basically none. The fruit seasons were over, and there were only persimmons left.

They were going to make dried persimmons.

So for a period of time, the things in the shop were going to be all the same.

This year for the New Year, the sheep were going to be slaughtered. There were not that many sheeps. They only had about 20, which they would not be selling.

It had been two months since they started raising the piglets on the neighboring mountain. Before the busy fruit season, Father Ji and Uncle Ji went to catch them back. By the time it was New Years, they would be adult pigs. However, Ji Jianyun was not going to kill the pigs.

So after thinking about it, he decided to buy land.

When it was time to grow things, they would grow rice, peanuts, soybeans and more. They would remove the hull from the rice, and dry the peanuts and soybeans. After that, these things could be sold. Then the variety of things in the shop would increase, and it would not all be the same like how it was now, right?
