Chapter 213: The Harvest in the Fields
Ji Jianyun was happy to have workers like Sun Dashan and Sister He.
Every account every month, no matter how small, they could remember it clearly. The account books were transparent all the time. Fruits, like strawberries, would have an accident and be crushed, and they would also write it down. As long as he understood it, he accepted the outcome.
For workers like this, Ji Jianyun was very willing to help them.
It costs about 4,000 yuan to buy an 80 square meter house in the college town. Ji Jianyun was aware of this because he had three places. The cost had increased a lot in the past few years, and he predicted that it would continue to rise.
There’s a chance that a house in the future would be close to 10,000 yuan?
Now that Sun Dashan and Sister He were buying a house, they were accomplishing a lifelong dream.
How many people struggled throughout their life, and still couldn’t buy a house?
Aside from Ji Jianyun's help, the main point of this was to give them a reason to work hard. In the future, when Renren and Qiqi went to study in the college town, they could help take care of them.
The distance between the two families was not very far.
Ji Jianyun's original intention was to have them buy a bigger one. 80 square meters was indeed a bit crowded for their big family, but Sun Dashan and Sister He wanted 80 square meters. He didn't say much, it is what it is. He wasn’t going to interfere.
Sun Dashan soon bought the house. It had two bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen. Although it was 80 square meters, it was quite spacious.
In addition, it had been renovated, so they could basically move in and live there.
As for moving, Ji Jianyun also did not interfere. The couple would not take any breaks from his business. Usually, his shop opened at six in the morning and closed at seven or eight in the evening. It was summer. In the evening, they could move their things, and the couple didn’t have much to move.
They also had to show Ji Jianyun the shop before they moved. It was hot, so they were going to continue living in the shop for a while.
Furthermore, it was impossible to move the children and the elderly. The children were still in school, and they could only move in after the summer vacation.
Ji Jianyun suddenly gave out 3,00 yuan. Along with the 500 yuan Ji Jianwen borrowered, it was 3,500 yuan.
This was almost all of Ji Jianyun's income so far this year, and it had been used up.
He had a lot of money because this year's fruit prices increased a bit, especially his fruit. He dared to sell them at a higher price. Those in the college town were used to it, but others said it was more expensive.
For example, those teachers and colleagues of Yun Lili, they really thought it was expensive, so they didn't buy any.
But most of them continue to buy food while saying it was expensive because it was really delicious.
Pears and dates were also very popular.
Things were busy until the end of June, work was slowing down. But in a few more weeks, the apple trees would soon bear fruit. The apple trees were ripening very early. They were crisp and sweet, and sometimes they were lucky and got apple sugar heart ones1.
Apple would make them busy.
Currently, he has hired people to start harvesting rice.
At the beginning, 15 acres of the 30 acres of land was planted with rice, and it was harvest season.
He allowed Yang Aisen and the others to go down the mountain to harvest it. Because the fertilizer was applied well and the cultivation was good, the rice harvest was very good.
However, when everyone saw the size of these rice paddies, they were a little confused. The rice was slightly larger than the usual ones, and the stalks of these rice plants were also extraordinarily strong. There were also basically no diseased roots. This was surprising to everyone, and they asked Ji Jianyun where he bought the rice seeds.
Ji Jianyun asked them to ask his mother. His mother bought his rice seeds.
What he didn’t know was that in the evening, his wife liked to take Renren and Qiqi out for a walk, and enjoyed walking around the land of their house. The two little guys liked to come here a lot.
Yang Aisen and the others sighed helplessly, “These two naughty boys come every now and then, and there’s endless commotion.”
Yang Aisen, Xu Jianguo and the others said that children liked to go out to play. As for Su Danhong’s actions, they didn't see them.
Some people in the village really went to ask Mother Ji about it. Mother JI immediately thought that it must be the Great Fox Immortal. Thus, she said, “I bought it from a peddler, and his price was cheap. I saw that the rice seeds were good, so I bought it.”
“Where is the peddler from? That I don't know. It's not the same anymore. I was just buying rice seeds, so there's no need to check a person’s household registration, right?”
“Why are you sighing? Is it about my family’s harvest this year? If you want, you can go to Jianyun to buy some and save it as rice seeds. We’re from the same village, so he won’t charge you much,” Mother Ji said.
That's what she said, but she immediately ran down the mountain to look at the rice.
She had been very busy these days, and she did not come down the mountain for a long time. She didn't expect that the rice in Ji Jianyun's field would grow so well.
Just look at how strong these plants were, and these rice grains were all very thick.
“Is this acre of land equal to 700-800 jins of rice?” Mother Ji asked with bright eyes.
The rice today was not as good as the future with the high yield hybrid rice. The current rice yield per acre might reach 400 jins, which was considered good. This was the yield that could only be grown on good farmland.
Because the land here was not very good, and was relatively dry, very few people grew rice. There were many other kinds of corn and wheat to grow.
As for the land in her son's hands, it could barely be regarded as second-class land. Among the second-class lands, it was at the bottom.
But there was so much output, which was absolutely amazing!
“It really is 700-800 jins,” Ji Jianyun said with a smile.
He was very satisfied with the rice harvest.
In the end, everything was harvested. The 15 acres of rice harvested was a total of 11,000 jins. On average, there were about 750 jins of grain per acre , which was really a lot.
The bran was removed from more than 10,000 jins of rice, and so only 70% was left. Ji Jianyun left 200 jins for his family, and his parents and his mother-in-law were given a bag to taste what was grown in his field. For the rest, he asked Ji Jianye to transport it to the college town in several batches.
The other fields for peanuts, soybeans, and sesame seeds also matured during this time period.
