Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Su Danhong had a certain understanding of her family's status in the village.

They got a contract for such a big mountain, planted so many fruit trees, surrounded it with a tall fence, and there was also the big truck that Ji Jianyun bought not long ago.

Which of these things did not shock the village?

The village director really liked to invite Ji Jianyun over for dinner. Unlike other people, the village director invited him over for dinner because he had great hopes for Jianyun. He hoped that he would manage this orchard well, and when it was successful, he would help the other villagers get rich.

And if the village became rich, then it would be a great political achievement!

But needless to say, the situation in the village this year was much better than last year. Many villagers had renovated their courtyard, which had to do with Ji Jianyun.

For example, this time, every household planned on hatching more eggs and the chicks would be sold to Ji Jianyun to raise on the mountain. This meant the villagers had an extra source of income.

In addition to this, the villagers were growing a lot of seasonal fruits and vegetables that were sold for a lot of money.

What for?

Because Su Danhong's second brother would come to the village every day to collect a lot of it to sell in the town. The price was also reasonable, and of course the demand was there. The produce must be fresh and tender. A lot of fertilizer must be used, but this was also normal. He just couldn’t take every single thing they grew into his rickshaw, it was impossible.

If there was something people like, then it would save him some time. He would drive over early in the morning and buy the villager’s produce. The villagers would count the money, and then do their farm work.

It was a little cheaper, but compared to the work at home, it's worth it.

It was precisely because of this that the villagers had more money.

Ji Jianyun also recruited workers. When the orchard was busy, they needed people to work. Aside from the long-term workers, they had short-term workers. This could also help some families in the village financially.

Short-term workers were definitely not as good as long-term workers. The long-term workers were Ji Hongjun and Xu Aidang. Xu Aidang was in the same clan as the village director.

In the past, Xu Aidang had separated his family because of his father, Lao Xu. But he got nothing from it. The village director placed him in a shed outside his home. This was how Xu Aidang and his family lived their life initially.

Otherwise, how could Li Yucui, the wife of Xu Aidang, and him have a baby back then?

But how good were the lives of Xu Aidang's family now? Just two days ago, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Aidang's family had brought over half a jin of pork to the village director.

The village director was not trying to collect meat. This was just a matter of being considerate. What did that mean? It showed that the couple remembered his kindness when he extended his hand to help. This made him overjoyed.

Moreover, Xu Aidang was still a part of their clan’s younger generation. Although their standing was a little far apart, they still had some type of relationship. Since Xu Aidang worked as a long-time worker for the Ji family, their lives got better day by day.

Now that he had a new courtyard, he looked better than before. He had extra money to get a piece of meat for the village director. Didn't that explain everything?

And all of this was because of Ji Jianyun.

As for other things, the contracted land to plant fruit trees in the mountain and forest was also because of Jianyun. Everyone wanted to plant trees. Thus, the village director contracted out a lot of land, which was the largest amount in the surrounding villages.

As for whether the orchard would grow or not, that was out of his control. If the mountains and forests could be contracted out, that would be another one of his achievements.

Furthermore, the village director’s wife is sister Xu.

The village director had a good impression of Ji Jianyun; and sister Xu had a good impression of Su Danhong. In particular, the bag of fruits brought by Su Danhong last time was really generous. She had also given them the big good ones.

Yes, last time it was cherries. Su Danhong also brought her five or six jin of watermelons and strawberries. When she went to visit, Su Danhong told her to bring some back. There was a big watermelon weighing more than nine jin, and several jin of strawberries.

For females, it was quick for them to be hostile to each other, but it was also quick for them to be friends.

Su Danhong was generous. She had a calm personality and a straightforward style with others. She was also very easygoing. Even Zhen Miaohong, who lived in town, had a good relationship with her.

So Ji Jianyun brought over a jin of mooncakes because of Su Danhong’s and sister Xu’s good relationship. Sister Xu told him that he should come whenever, but why did he bring things here?

“My wife was craving it today so she made some. She asked me to bring it while it was still hot and give it to my nieces and nephews,” Ji Jianyun said with a smile. Sister Xu was maybe four or five years older than him.

Sister Xu smiled and asked him to come in. “Danhong's cooking is incredible. The last time I was there, she invited me to eat glutinous rice cakes that she made by herself.”

Ji Jianyun had not seen the village director while he was visiting. Thus, he knew that he was out, and he asked, “Sister, is the director here?”

Sister Xu heard his question and replied appropriately, “He went out early this morning. Jianyun, is there something wrong? If you tell me, then I can tell him.”

“Sister, Danhong is almost five months pregnant. She didn't say anything about it and there’s not much time left,” Ji Jianyun said.

Sister Xu smiled when she heard him. “I suppose that might be an issue. Go back to Danhong and tell her to take care of the baby. Don't worry about anything else. I'll go and see her tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Ji Jianyun answered with a smile. (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ ℝ𝕖𝕒𝕕 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕗𝕣𝕖𝕖 𝕠𝕟 𝕗𝕠𝕩𝕒𝕙𝕠𝕝𝕚𝕔.𝕔𝕠𝕞 ♥

That evening, the village director came back, and sister Xu told him about it.

The village director was a little surprised and asked, “She still wants to give birth to one? Don’t they already have a boy?”

“What about it? Who doesn't want to have more children? There's no problem having another one. If Danhong wants to give birth, just let her have it,” Sister Xu said.

“It’s not a question of letting her give birth or not. If it is born, what will the rest of the village do?” The village director frowned.

Sister Xu said with a factual tone, “It’s not easy. Whoever wants to have a baby will pay a fine. If someone has a second child, they’ll have to pay a fine of 400 yuan. If they can afford it, then they’ll have it. If they can't afford it, then you’ll have people go over and tear down the house. But Danhong, she can afford the fine. I'll tell her everything tomorrow.”

The village director listened and he had nothing to say. He just nodded. “Then go and talk about it with her tomorrow.”

Afterwards, he saw several of his kids eating a piece of moon cake each. The smell was still very enticing. He asked, “Where did you get the mooncakes at this time?”

“Jianyun brought it. Danhong just made it today,” Sister Xu said with a smile.

“Is that why you’re trying to do everything you can?” The village director glanced at her and smiled.

“I'm not doing such a thing because of the mooncakes. I have a good relationship with Danhong. Don't think too much about our friendship.” Sister Xu was a bit annoyed.

The village director said, “I know, I know. Jianyun's wife is really a good one. It might not be a bad idea to get closer to her.“
