Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 57 – Doesn’t Your Body Feel Better Than Before?

“That’s for our children. We may have to renovate it in the future when they go to school and college. There won’t be big changes and won’t need much.”

Su Danhong simply didn’t take the matter that seriously.

If their children went to school early, then they would be 18 or 19 years old when they go to college, which is more than a decade in the future.

She had planned this a long time ago. They would live in the city occasionally but she didn’t plan to leave her home here forever. She just wanted to stay at home and she was very satisfied with her present situation. She was this type of unambitious woman. She just wanted to live a simple life.

After the couple thought about their future, they put the property paperwork together and into the cabinet.

Su Danhong went to the kitchen to make dinner. She stewed two fishes1, stir fried some green vegetables2, stir fried some meat with pickled vegetables, and made a white gourd soup3.

During the meal, Su Danhong mentioned that Mother Ji was going to raise lambs.

When Ji Jianyun heard that, he knew exactly what she meant and responded, “It’s a good idea to raise lambs. Do you want to raise more? If we raise them, then it would be convenient for us to do so on the mountain. The mountain has fencing, so we don’t need to be afraid of them running away.”

“We’re also going to raise chickens next year, can we take care of both?” Su Danhong looked at him and asked.

“Raising a lot of chickens would be too smelly. We don’t have to raise so many. We just need to keep one or two hundred chickens,” Ji Jianyun said.

One or two hundred was a lot. However, it was also a fact that the mountain was pretty big, so raising one or two hundred chickens was really not that many. It would actually be okay, but they needed to consider the smell which was certainly a problem. Su Danhong wanted to walk around the mountain when the orchard was full of fruits and didn’t want to smell chicken shit as soon as she entered it.

Ji Jianyun could have said this outloud, but it was obvious that his wife already knew the solution to this problem. He would rather earn less than let his wife be aggrieved.

“Then let’s make a sheep shed on the mountain.” Su Danhong’s lips pursed into a smile.

Looking at her like this, Ji Jianyun knew that he had done the right thing and said, “Since we are not going to raise a lot of chickens, let’s raise more sheep instead. It will be a big source of income when it is New Years.”

“Yes, but you must keep the orchard clean, if not I won’t go up there,”Su Danhong stated.

Ji Jianyun knew the reason why his wife was like this, so without any objections, he agreed. “Honey, don’t worry, I will train Xiao Bai and the other dogs to be like sheepdogs. I also plan to pave a few more gravel roads in the orchard, so that it will not be full of mud when it rains.”

It could be said that Su Danhong was a bit difficult, but in fact, Ji Jianyun was also a bit obsessed with cleanliness. After all, he was in the unit since he was 19 years old. He wasn’t like the other villagers that worked with fertilizer. He liked to be clean.

Su Danhong had no problems with his plans.

After dinner, Ji Jianyun went to feed the dogs. Once he fed all four dogs, he went to look for Mother Ji.

When he told Mother Ji about raising more sheep on the mountain, she was very happy and said, “Okay, then Mother will also buy more and leave them to live on the mountain.”

“Mother, don’t just buy a few. I’m going to raise less chickens and more sheep. When are you going to buy the lambs? I’ll go with you,” Ji Jianyun said.

Mother Ji was shocked and asked, “You don’t want to raise more chickens? Chickens are very easy to feed. There will be lots of different potatoes and vegetables later and the chickens like to eat the leaves. They will also lay a lot of eggs.”

“I know, that’s why I plan on raising more than 200 sheep. We can consider this to be diversifying what we do, so there’s not only one way to make money,” Ji Jianyun said.

“Sheep are good,” Father Ji had been listening and nodded.

A lot of sheep manure meant more fertilizer. Moreover, sheep were easy to keep.

“Go and buy some. Father will go up to the mountain and take care of them,” Father Ji said.

These days, Father Ji was basically the one in charge of the mountain. Father Ji was a solemn man, but every time the old man went up the mountain and saw the fruits of their labor, he was full of smiles.

Ji Jianyun nodded. “Okay, then I will rely on father to help me.”

“Don’t worry, father will definitely take care of the sheep for you. Spend more time with Danhong and don’t worry too much about other things,” Father Ji said to him very seriously.

Ji Jianyun chuckled. ꜱᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴀɴꜱʟᴀᴛᴏʀ ᴀɴᴅ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴏɴ ꜰᴏxᴀʜᴏʟɪᴄ.ᴄᴏᴍ

He would not be at ease If he left his father alone on the mountain. Even though they had fencing, he was still not at ease. However, there was Xiao Bai and the other dogs on the mountain. The three dogs were pretty fierce and perceptive. They also listened to Father Ji, so if the dogs were to guard him, then Ji Jianyun would feel less worried.

From Father Ji’s perspective, the orchard was very important. However, if they did not have Lao San’s wife bring prosperity to their family, then the orchard would not have been able to succeed.

The older a person was, the more wise they were. Several years ago, before Lao San’s wife entered the family, how much did he and his wife struggle toiling on the mountain? It didn’t even result in a fart.

But the outcome was different when in Lao San’s wife’s hands. Simply put, Father Ji did not believe in Jianyun’s prosperity, or else, why had they not prospered in the past?

The key of the matter was Lao San’s wife.

As for the Great Fox Immortal rumors, Father Ji was not deaf and he naturally had heard about it. Yet, he did not believe in it. However, he did believe in the rumors about bringing prosperity to his family.

The next day, Ji Jianyun went with his mother to look for lambs.

Su Danhong continued to sew some items like dolls for the little baby, but there were only so many things that could be made. After sewing for more than half a month, she really couldn’t think of anything else to prepare.

They had everything.

But doing nothing was really boring. With nothing else to do, she took out a pair of embroidery needles and embroidered a piece stitch by stitch. Her speed was very slow because she was just doing this to pass the time.

As time went by, there was only half a month left before Su Danhong was to give birth. During this period of time, Ji Jianyun had almost finished all the things he had to do. After that, he never left the house. At most, he would make a trip up the mountain, but then he would come back to look after her in less than half an hour.

Su Danhong told him not to be so nervous, but Ji Jianyun didn’t listen and kept a close eye on her.

“How are the lambs?” Su Danhong asked with a smile after seeing that he was back in less than half an hour.

“They all look good, but they really like the water you asked me to bring up the mountain for them to drink. Every time I bring them the water, they are in a hurry to come over and drink it,” Ji Jianyun said and smiled back.

The last time after she had discussed with Mother Ji, she came back with 15 lambs to raise. They were all of the same breed. There were three males and twelve females. This was mainly a test trial and if it worked, then they would raise more.

At first, they were a little worried. But for the past few days, the lambs were growing well and eating grass leisurely every day. Also, they drank Su Danhong’s spiritual spring water, which was excellent.

Su Danhong smiled and glanced at him. “The water is special. Drinking it is definitely good. Don’t you feel like your body has become better than before?”

In the past, Ji Jianyun worked through wind and rain. Although he looked strong, he had a lot of underlying ailments.

But after he retired he came back and she took good care of him. She took his pulse while he was sleeping a few days ago and his body’s essence was much better than before.
