Chapter 238： Changes in the countryside

Hexi Village, Jiangning suburb.

After dinner, an ordinary farmer sat under the tree and chatted.

In an era when there is no entertainment, chatting is almost the only way for them to relax.

However, for some poorer families, chatting is not leisure. They are not in the mood to talk about nonsense. They talk about things related to their livelihoods.

This is a family of eight. Both parents are in their forties, two sons, two daughters, one daughter-in-law, and one grandson.

The eldest son is 18 years old, has been married and has one son, and the second son is fifteen. He also needs to start thinking about marriage. The two daughters are between thirteen and fifteen years old.

Although the life of a family can survive, but the life is quite difficult, and there is almost no resistance to risks. Once a family member gets a serious illness, they can only rely on the body to endure it.

This is basically the current situation in the countryside.

"Father, I went to the industrial area of ​​the city with Erhuzi yesterday. The workers there have six bucks a month. I also want to give it a try and earn some money to subsidize the family."

The eldest son, Qin Lin, opened the conversation. Yesterday, he went to the city with people from the same village and went to see the big factories.

Those big factories opened his eyes and felt excited. Those large-scale machines give people an unparalleled sense of strength.

And those big factories are still recruiting workers at this time.

Qin Lin was tempted to hear that there were six silver coins for one month's wages.

Six coins of silver is four hundred catties of millet, and on average, there is no such high harvest in the fields.

"Naughty, what do you do in the factory? If you miss Mr. Cai's business, can you have money to give you? Now Mr. Guo provides us with free farm tools. This kind of field is easier than before, and it should be left for farming. "

Father Qin reprimanded that with regard to the unknown, the elderly are far slower than the young in accepting them. They like stability but don't like risks.

"Because of the free farm tools, I was thinking that you can cook those acres of fields well, so I want to earn some wages to subsidize the family. The second brother is about to talk about his wife, so I have to get some money to buy a gift. ."

Qin Lin said.

"No, we will reclaim some dry land in the second half of the year and plant some peanuts next year."

Father Qin only believed in land, which made Qin Lin very helpless.

At this time, the head of the family is very powerful, what Qin's father says, others have to do what.

In this family, the old father and Qin Lin had the right to discuss major family matters, and the other female relatives and youngest son could not intervene.

They could only listen to the arguing between their eldest brother and his father, and what they were concerned about was the so-called big factory in Qin Lin's mouth. They heard that those machines were all made of iron, and they were as tall as two or three people.

"If I am not allowed to work, then I must be allowed to grow peppers."

Qin Lin said.

He not only looked at the industrial zone yesterday, but also strolled around in the East City of Nanjing.

In Dongshi, he saw a condiment similar to cornel. According to the stall owner, this is a condiment imported from the West, called chili. The effect is very good when used for cooking, and it is the favorite of high-ranking officials and nobles.

Because there are very few people growing this kind of pepper at present, it costs 30 cents per catty. At such an expensive price, there is no worries about not being able to sell it.

Qin Lin also heard that this kind of pepper is very easy to grow, and you can pick hundreds of catties on a good acre of land.

He had the final say, if the stall owner hadn't deceived others, one mu of hot pepper could sell for ten taels of silver. It is more than ten times more cost-effective than growing rice and peanuts.

As a result, Qin Lin thought about planting peppers again.

In short, he was unwilling to just guard the few acres of land at home. Even if Wu Changqing's tax is not high now, they are still starving at most by relying on these places.

After the second brother married his biological son, these acres of land would not be able to support such a large family.

"Chili, what is it?"

Father Qin asked.

At this time, the pepper was first introduced to China for many years, and most of the people had never seen it or knew it.

"It's a condiment similar to cornel. It is used by dignitaries to stir-fry dishes to increase the flavor. Because it has just been introduced from the West to the south of the Yangtze River, there are few people who grow it and it is very valuable."

Qin Lin said.

"You haven't planted this thing before, can you plant it?"

Father Qin was still a little worried.

"I heard that it's easy to plant. We can plant an acre first and try it."

In the end, Father Qin agreed to the decision of the eldest son. After all, it is farming, and it has not exceeded his cognitive scope. His past life experience can more or less play a role, which makes him feel at ease.

At the same time, Qin Erhu from the same village quarreled with his father.

Qin Erhu also wanted to work in the factory, but his father disagreed.

Unlike Qin Lin, Qin Erhu did not compromise and was determined to go.

Because Qin Erhu is not the eldest son, nor is he married yet.

What he needs to consider is different from that of Qin Lin. Qin Erhu has to worry about how he will live if he is separated from the family in the future, and he has to consider where the money for the wedding gift will come from.

In short, he needs money, more than Qin Lin.

Therefore, no matter how his father objected, he insisted on going to the factory.

"Before I was going to be a soldier, and you said that I was not allowed to go in danger. Now, Liu Dama in the neighboring village has made a couple of taels of silver, and the family has also said that I have a daughter-in-law. Now I am going to work in a factory, and you are not allowed to go. I'll be a bachelor for the rest of my life."

Qin Erhu roared.

"Asshole, dare to speak so loudly to me, I think you are itchy."

His father said that he could only use his father's authority to pick up the wooden stick, and wanted to teach Qin Erhu a lesson.

Regardless of Qin Erhu's tall horse, he really didn't dare to fight back, he could only endure it.

"Forget it, the kid is his father, let him try it. Erhu said, the life in the factory is just a bit harder, there is no risk of life."

Qin Erhu's mother stopped her husband who was holding a wooden stick. She knew nothing about the so-called factory, and was worried about the unknown. However, she did not object to Qin Erhu's work.

Because the family really couldn't make up the money to marry Qin Erhu. Seeing her son getting older and older, she also had a headache for this matter.

"Father, let the second brother try, after all, it is a factory run by the grandpa, and the grandpa will definitely not lie to us."

Qin Erhu's eldest brother also spoke to support Qin Erhu, of course, he was a little selfish in doing so. That is, after Qin Erhu went to the factory, he planted all the land at home.

With so many people supporting Qin Erhu, his father finally sighed, threw the stick aside and went to sleep.

He just didn't care what he meant, letting Qin Erhu toss about it.
