Chapter 224: Traveling to the Capital?
Ji Jianhe, who was used to working like a bull by Ji Jianyun, went over and delivered the goods, and settled the bills along the way.
He brought the money back to Ji Jianyun, Ji Jianyun counted it in front of him. Even though Ji Jianhe had a certain view about money, he would never dare to have thoughts that he shouldn't have when it came to Ji Jianyun.
“In the future, just deliver the goods. I will settle the account myself in the future,” Ji Jianyun said.
“Okay.” Ji Jianhe naturally had no objection. If he did not have any part in settling the money, then it would save him a lot of trouble.
After sending Ji Jianhe away, Ji Jianyun took the money back and gave it to his wife. It was not much, just over 80 yuan. Many people came here to get the goods, and because there were a lot of them, he could send them over. This was another side income
Su Danhong received the money and said to him, “The price of pork has increased a lot this year, and next year everyone will definitely raise pigs.”
She went out to buy pork, and it had risen to three yuan. What was this price? It was simply too high! How could everyone not be shocked?
Ji Jianyun nodded. “The price of pork will definitely come down next year.”
People are going to raise pigs, so how could the price not drop?
“Will our family still raise pigs next year?” Su Danhong asked.
“Let’s just raise ten.” Ji Jianyun had thought it through.
This year, the big fat pigs made him fortune. But next year, the market will not be very good. He would raise some to sell if it was possible, or else the pig pen was going to be empty.
The pigs raised on the mountain were really fat now, and they were all over 300 catties. 300 catties was still an underestimate. The real weight would only be known after the weighing.
After it was November, Ji Jianyun started to relax. With the large amount of property he owned, he had to visit them every day, so he had a lot of things to do.
Renren went to the mountain to find Yan'er to read and paint, but Qiqi couldn't stay still and went on a trip with his father.
Su Danhong was embroidering at home, and midway through, Zhen Miaohong arrived.
“Why are you the only one at home? What about Renren and Qiqi?” Zhen Miaohong asked with a smile.
“Renren has gone to the mountain, Qiqi couldn't stay idle, so he followed his father out for a walk.” Su Danhong smiled, offered her red date tea, and asked, “Why are you free today?”
Sister Hong was very busy, so she seldom came here.
“Isn't New Years soon? I’m not going to be here this year, so I wanted to come and see Renren and Qiqi earlier,” Zhen Miaohong said with a smile, and put the presents on the table.
Su Danhong noticed that she had brought so many things, and asked her, “It's fine if you come here, but why did you bring these gifts?”
“These are imported milk powder brought from Shanghai. Make some for Renren and Qiqi to drink, and they are sure to grow strong,” Zhen Miaohong said.
Su Danhong chatted with her for a long time, and Zhen Miaohong also gave a lot of useful information. “The development has changed each year. You haven’t seen it yet. It’s so unbelievable. Do you and JIanyun want to go to the capital to have a look? You can go to the Great Wall, and take photos as a souvenir.”
Su Danhong smiled and said, “How can I be free to do that? There are many things to do every day.”
“You two are busy making money every day, but you should enjoy the money you earn. What else are you doing with the money? Qiqi is older and if you get pregnant again, you won't be able to go anywhere,” Zhen Miaohong said.
She felt that Su Danhong was a bit too traditional.To take care of her husband and children, she didn't want to go out to see the world and do more than embroidery.
Although it was tiring to go on a trip and was different from being at home, it could change a person’s point of view.
“When Jianyun comes back, I'll talk to him,” Su Danhong said.
She was not very interested in the big world outside, but for Renren and Qiqi, she was willing to take them higher and further.
Sister Hong was talking about the Great Wall, so she was a little curious about what it looked like. It was in Ji Xiaodong's books, and she started wondering about it after hearing Ji Xiaodong talking about it.
Su Danhong also talked about contracting the reservoir, and Zhen Miaohong said, “Although you and your husband haven't traveled much, you have done a lot of things.”
They were involved in many industries. It was hard to imagine, but it was no wonder Jianyun was born as a soldier. He was really promising.
Zhen Miaohong was not in a hurry to leave, and went with her to the mountain to see Renren. Su Danhong wanted to give her some eggs, but Zhen Miaohong immediately said, “No, no, it's such a long way to carry it home, and Jianyun is not at home.”
Su Danhong said, “Then bring a few bottles of honey home.”
“That will be good,” Zhen Miaohong said with a smile.
Renren liked Zhen Miaohong as his godmother. Zhen Miaohong said to him, “I talked to your godfather and he said he wants me to ask you if you would like to come over for a meal.”
“I'll go when I grow up.” Renren nodded seriously.
“Well, we will wait for you to grow up, Renren.” Zhen Miaohong was very happy.
Zhen Miaohong often traveled, so her view of the world was wider. When she went down the mountain, she asked Su Danhong, “Where do you plan to let Renren go to school in the future?”
“The elementary school in town, and when he is in middle school, I plan to let him go to the college town,” Su Danhong said.
“The elementary school in town lacks a lot. The foundation for children must be laid out from an early age, they cannot lose at the starting line,” Zhen Miaohong said.
“Everywhere else is too far.” Su Danhong said. Education on their side is indeed relatively lacking.
“The schools over where I am at are pretty good. They are all public too,” Zhen Miaohong said. She was very optimistic about her godson’s future, so she wanted to educate him.
As for her own children, they were older. She basically didn’t have to worry about school for them.
“No, he just needs to study. If he doesn't do well in the future, he will catch up.” Su Danhong thanked her for her kindness, but this wasn’t something she was troubled by.
Seeing how she felt, Zhen Miaohong didn't force it anymore. They chatted at home for a while, and when it was almost time, she went back.
When Ji Jianyun came back with Qiqi, Su Danhong told him what Zhen Miaohong said. Ji Jianyun shook his head. “Forget it, let’s just have Renren study in elementary school first.”
He had the same idea as his wife.
“Sister Hong said that we should visit the Great Wall when you have time,” Su Danhong said again.
Ji Jianyun was taken aback for a moment. He immediately understood that his wife wanted them to go, so he looked at his wife and said, “Then I will make arrangements. Let’s go to the capital.”
“Do you have time?” Su Danhong asked.
“Yes.” Ji Jianyun nodded.
