Chapter 7: I am a big household!
There was no need to queue at the town police station, and Song Tan only spent ten minutes to reissue her ID card. She efficiently picked a domestic phone for 3,000 yuan, and at this moment, she was full of melancholy as she pondered the little money in her pocket.
Just 60,000 yuan (to be precise, over 62,000, plus the 2,000 yuan subsidized by Wu Lan, 64,000), Song Tan had also planned it well last night.
How to plan?
Buy a phone, buy farm tools, buy seeds, and fertilizers...
Can the rest be kept? No, it has to be used to invite people to dig mountains, dig fields, and dig everything she wants to plant...
With this little money, labor can't last long.
"Dad, Mom said the fields and mountains are for me to toss around, just don't touch the vegetable garden—is there any machine that can turn the soil?"
If you can't afford it, you can rent it!
Song Sancheng was still a bit shy: "Tan Tan, do you really want to farm? Just experience it for a bit, if you spread your stall so big, people in the village will know, and they will say you are arrogant."
Song Tan herself was very open-minded, but Song Sancheng and Wu Lan had lived here all their lives. It was impossible for them to not care about gossip at all.
So she persuaded: "Dad, even if I only farm one piece of land, people will still say things. Since that's the case, it's better to do it vigorously."
Song Sancheng was clumsy with words and didn't know what to say, so he sighed again: "Your mom and I discussed it last night. The 200,000 yuan for Qiao Qiao's pension cannot be moved, so we can only give you 60,000."
"Tan Tan, earning money is not easy, don't squander it."
Song Tan's eyes suddenly became hot.
She knew her dad wasn't lying. In a rural family, raising a college student and a silly son, even working outside, the couple took turns, so how much money could they save?
This was really their entire family fortune.
Song Sancheng didn't know his daughter's thoughts, and at this moment, he was still worried:
"Since you want to do it, you have to think about why you can make money? Otherwise, there are so many people farming in the village, which one is not better than you?"
"If you are not sure, then think about it again."
Song Tan was also silent.
In the Cultivation World, no one cares about what you do or don't do as long as your realm is sufficient. Just like her water-wood spiritual method, she spent a hundred years planting spiritual herbs at the back of the mountain to seek a breakthrough.
There are many such people.
But now it's the world of ordinary people. She can squander 60,000 yuan, but how can she dare to make her parents worry like this with their hard-earned money?
But how to talk about cultivation?
Song Tan pondered for a moment: "Dad, actually, to tell you the truth, I've wanted to come back for a long time. Our village is close to the water source and has winding mountain roads. It hasn't been polluted all these years, it's a really good place."
This is true, but it's a barren mountain and wild ridge, and the mountains are not majestic or dangerous. The forest land and fields are planted with whatever, and then most of them are left barren...
Even if you want to develop it, there is really no way to start.
For so many years, there has really been no pollution.
Otherwise, Song Tan wouldn't have succeeded in drawing energy into her body so quickly last night.
"What's good about it?" Song Sancheng didn't care: "There are such villages all around."
Song Tan said in a low voice: "Dad, the reason I dare to come back to farm is because an expert came here to test it and said that the water and soil quality is very high. If you plant crops, the quality will be more delicious than anywhere else."
"People are professionals, and what's the benefit of lying? So I felt that I couldn't bear the work this time, so I wanted to come back and try."
"Dad, if I succeed, I can stay in the village to accompany you in the future."
The last sentence moved Song Sancheng.
Raising children, doesn't he want the whole family to be together? But the child went to live on campus in town in junior high school, high school, university, work... all in all, the time they spent with the child as parents was very little.
Now that his daughter said this, Song Sancheng couldn't help but believe it—yes, people came specifically to test it, what if?
So he self-convinced himself and followed suit: "Yes, the vegetables we grow here taste more like vegetables than those sold in the supermarket!"
The father and daughter went to see farm tools vigorously.
"By the way, Dad, how much does the farm machine for turning the soil cost?"
Song Sancheng thought about it: "It seems like 5,000 yuan can get it..."
Song Tan decided immediately: "I'll buy one!"
"Buy what!" Song Sancheng glared at her: "This thing needs to be repaired after two uses. Besides, our family has seven or eight large fields from the bamboo forest to the pond. Can you finish it in one go?"
The fields here are all terraced structures, only suitable for this small agricultural machine. But the small ones are cheap, and they are easy to break down.
Song Sancheng has more experience in this than Song Tan, who only knows magic.
So Song Tan followed Song Sancheng, only to see him walk into a shop selling farm machines and renting them out, and in a few words, he settled on the price of 500 yuan a day for plowing the land.
"Really expensive..."
Song Sancheng was still muttering after leaving the shop.
Not many people farm now, but there are some. Now is the time to prepare for spring plowing, which belongs to the small peak season.
Plus, they not only rent machines but also need people to work. The fields have been semi-barren for many years, and the price for this is enough to make Song Sancheng click his tongue.
However, he is clearly an optimist, and at this moment he is happy again: "It's easy to have machines. Their family is more expensive, but they plow deeper, which is quite good."
Actually, this is the only shop in town that sells farm machines and rents them out. To go further, you have to go to the next town.
Song Tan looked at her dad, only feeling that he was cute everywhere.
"By the way, Tan Tan, what do you plan to plant first? If you plant rice, you have to clean up the pond at the very top. It hasn't been managed for so many years, it's all water chestnuts."
People here love to eat them. Originally, they planted rice and wheat, but overall, they planted more rice.
Of course, no one is planting now!
Song Tan looked at her dad, always feeling like a child of a low-key richest man: "Is that pond also ours?"
There are weeping willows, wild grass, and wild vegetables by the pond, and the water quality is clear and clean.
In Song Tan's memory, although the water chestnuts inside are small, only the size of chestnuts, the clear sweetness and tenderness after peeling are completely different from those sold in the vegetable market outside. She hasn't eaten them for so many years!
"Then what else!" Song Sancheng said it as a matter of course: "Originally, the family planted rice. If you use someone else's pond and they don't give you water, how can you plant rice?"
"Don't mention that, this whole piece of bamboo forest, including the pond at the door, is ours."
"I am the youngest, so when it was divided, your uncle divided the mountains, and ours is nearby."
"Only the pond on the hillside far away was dug by the brigade originally."
Song Sancheng sighed, clearly starting to worry about money.
Song Tan was shocked and didn't dare to speak.
She was planning to come back to contract mountains and fields, but looking at it this way, what is there to contract?
She, the big household herself!
At this moment, Song Tan was high-spirited, and pointed to the seed shop in front:
"Dad, buy a few dozen catties of Chinese milk vetch first!"
【Chinese milk vetch can be planted in spring and autumn. Root nodules can fertilize the fields. It is a top-grade fertilizer. And the nutrition is quite rich, the taste is also good, and it blooms in light purple... And the growth cycle is short, it can grow in one or two months. People can eat it, and pigs, cattle, and sheep can also eat it!】
【Supplement: Seeing many friends in the comment section asking, I will explain. The unit price of some small agricultural machines is not expensive, but they require skilled manual operation, fuel consumption, and frequent repairs are also true. Here, Tan Tan's dad negotiated 500 for the whole day, including labor, fuel, repairs, etc. In the case of insufficient initial funds, renting can save manpower and money.】 ===== CHAPTER 8 =====
