Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Seeing that Meng was no longer staring at them, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Second sister, has grandma always been like this?"

"Grandma loves children. We've been here every year. But this year, she hasn't been here since you got sick. Please treat her well."

The two chatted cheerfully while Mrs. Ye invited people to the table for dinner.

After the meal, Tan distributed the gifts she brought to everyone.

"This silver hairpin was bought by Qingning and the others when they went to the county town some time ago. It's a gift to you as a filial piety." Tan Yueli took out the hairpin and put it on Meng's head.

Meng touched it with her hand and examined it carefully again and again. "No wonder it's from the county town, it's better than the ones in town. How much is it? How can you spend so much?"

She felt distressed. Even though her daughter and son-in-law lived a good life, they couldn't afford to spend so much.

"Grandma, this is our gift to you as a filial piety. It's not much money." Qingzhu said.

Mrs. Meng: "Nonsense, this is worth a lot of money. Don't just think about us, do you have money to spend?"

Tan Yueli said helplessly: "Mom, please accept it. If you say anything more, we will be angry."

"Okay, okay, I'll take it. I'll take it. The children love me, so I'll just accept what they bought for me." Meng wrapped the things up, not wanting to bother wearing them.

She took out a pair of silver bracelets and handed them to Ye Xing: "Sister-in-law, Yueya and I bought these for you."

Ye was so flattered that she didn't dare to accept it.

"This is given by your sisters, so just accept it." Looking at his wife like this, Tan Zhibei advised her to accept it.

Meng also echoed.

Ye took it and kept thanking him, her eyes getting hot.

Everyone in the family bought something. Yueya didn’t have that much money, but she also prepared a gift for herself.

After putting all the things away, seeing that there were still quite a few left, Old Man Tan asked, "Are these for giving away?"

Chen Changjiang said, "Yes, Dad. These are intended for the village chief, clan elders, and uncles. They take care of our family every day, and they also contributed a lot to the Yueya incident last time."

Old Man Tan: "Yes, yes, it's my duty. You are very thoughtful. I will go with you."

As they spoke, several people carried their things and walked out.

"Grandfather, after you give the gifts, please invite the village chief, clan leader, and a few heads of close families who you think are trustworthy. I have something to discuss with you." Qing Ning stopped them and gave them instructions.

Old Man Tan didn't know what Qing Ning meant, but he didn't ask any more questions and just agreed.

Every household received the same gift: six cans of sweet soup and a box of mooncakes. Those who received the gifts were naturally happy.

Not long after, Old Man Tan and the others came back, along with the village chief, clan leader, and several close relatives and elders.

The Meng family and their companions invited everyone to sit down and poured water, and Qingning also asked them to listen together.

"Dear uncles and aunts, I invited you here because I have something to tell you. If you think it is feasible, then do it. If you think it is not feasible, then let it go." Qing Ning stood there, and the little man had a very imposing aura.

The village chief said, "Tell me what's going on. We know a lot about you."

As the village chief and the elders spoke, they smiled at each other and waited for Qing Ning to continue.

Qing Ning said without further ado: "The thing is, my workshop's braised food business is pretty good, but it's often hard to buy. So I thought if you're willing, you could make this duck a living. You don't have to worry about sales. We'll take care of everything."

This village is perfect because it is near the water. Qing Ning originally wanted to ask his uncle and his family to help out in the workshop, but considering the long journey and the two elderly people being the only ones at home, he was worried about them, so he decided to find something for them to do.

Firstly, I can earn money, and secondly, I can take care of the family farmland.

Taking the villagers along not only builds friendship, but also allows everyone to benefit, so that no one will be jealous and do bad things.

When they heard this, they were all excited: "Are you serious? Are you serious?"

Qing Ning said, "Grandpa Village Chief, I'm not just saying this for fun. Raising ducks is no small matter, so I'm thinking of having the villagers build a duck farm. That way, we can all make money and share the risks, without having to hold everyone responsible. I just don't know if the villagers are willing to do that."

The village chief said: "If you are willing, you don't have to worry about these things. This is a good thing and I have my own rules. Those who are willing to contribute money can contribute money, and those who are not willing to contribute money can contribute labor."

"No matter how much money or effort you contribute, you must remember everything about it to the village chief, so that there won't be any disputes when the time comes to divide the money." Qing Ning said.

"Yes, yes, that's what should be done."

"What is the price? How much is it? How much is the supply?" asked an uncle from the same family.

"If the duck farm makes a loss in the first two years, it's mine, and you can share the profits among yourselves. These two years will be considered as dividends I give you, and after that, you will be responsible for the profits and losses and I will no longer be involved. The price is three levels lower than the market price, so don't think it's too little, I want more. But what you give me must be good, and the sick and the dead cannot be used as substitutes. I will mark all these in the contract. The food business is all about cleanliness." Qing Ning said.

After hearing this, the few of them discussed it and immediately decided: "No problem, our village has taken care of this duck sound. Qing Ning, don't worry, we will take good care of it and absolutely ensure it is clean. This is a big deal for our entire village."

After the discussion, Qing Ning took out the contract that had been prepared long ago. Both parties signed three copies, and one copy was sent to the county government for filing.

"Grandpa Village Chief, you must choose an experienced and reliable person to be the manager of this duck voice. You must not let the ruffians take advantage of the situation. Although I took the responsibility for the losses in the past two years, if someone causes malicious damage, I will not show mercy." Good or bad words must be said in advance.

"Of course. Don't worry, I'll watch over it myself," the village chief assured.

Qing Ning: "It's really hard for you all, uncles. It's mainly because it's far away, otherwise I would have asked my uncle to work in my workshop."

To stop here, the reason why they were allowed to build a duck farm here was because of Old Man Tan and his family.

"Yes, we know. You're thinking of your grandparents, and we're not ungrateful. The village has benefited from your family, so we can't treat them unfairly."

After hearing what the village elder said, Qing Ning felt relieved. After talking for a while, they left in a hurry. They were going to discuss some rules.

Seeing that it was getting late, the family prepared to say goodbye and go back. Tomorrow was the Moon Festival, so they had to hurry back.

The Tan family did not stay long and quickly loaded the prepared gifts into the car, and also brought them some food and tea to fuel their journey.

Before leaving, Qing Ning said, "After the festival, let Cousin Xia and Cousin Qiu go to our village to go to school, and help out in my workshop while they're there."

After hearing this, the whole family laughed and cried. Old Man Tan and his family were afraid that the road would be difficult to travel in the dark, so they had to urge them to go back quickly.

After the people left, the family sat down and still felt like they were dreaming.

"Aye, grandma, cousin Qingning told us to go to school?" Tan Qiu always felt like he was hallucinating and kept confirming.

"You heard it right. They even arranged work for both of us to go to school." Tan Xia kept confirming his words.

"Our village duck farm has gained fame and we are making money. Your father now has a job. You two also have a way out. You really have hope for the future." Mrs. Meng couldn't help but wiped her tears.

"Yes, you must all remember Qing Ning's kindness, and don't complain no matter whether you can make money in the future. You two will go the day after tomorrow. By the way, does the eldest brother need to prepare a tuition fee for school? I forgot to ask." Old Man Tan reminded them.

Tan Zhibei said, "I'll go ask Shu Xiu tomorrow. I'll be sure to prepare everything so that no one can gossip about it. I won't let my sister and the others lose face."

The family discussed it for a while before stopping.
