Chapter 178 Men like to look at other people's wives
Jiang Ning's ruthlessness has always been criticized by his relatives, but it has also helped him avoid a lot of trouble.

The pasture has not been delivered yet and the grass has not grown yet!

It's estimated to be in May.

But the large-scale breeders who have rented pastures have already started preparations. Jiang Wei and others have also prepared early. It is said that Zhou Aiguo went to the cattle farm in Shandong to inspect it. Jiang Wei, Jiang Ze and others have nothing to do but drive around the surrounding countryside all day long.

If you see someone raising cattle, go in and ask.

Buy the calf if you find one that is suitable.

Of course, we can’t wait until the pasture is delivered before buying it, that would be a waste of time.

The monthly rent for 500 acres of grassland is more than 200,000 yuan.

If a few months were wasted on buying cattle, hundreds of thousands of dollars would be wasted.

But other farms have sites, but some monks who have left their profession don’t even have a temple. It is also a big problem where to raise the cows and deliver them to the pasture. They can’t just rent a site temporarily to buy grass and feed, as that would be too much trouble.

He can only be fostered with Jiang Ning temporarily.

But twenty yuan a day for fodder is indeed a bit unfair.

Jiang Wei was furious: "Twenty a day, that's more than seven thousand a year. The cost of fodder for a cow in Xinchang is only one thousand a year, but if I put it here for foster care, it will be more than seven times the cost. Is there anyone so shady?"

Jiang Ning disagreed: "That's not how it works. The two farms have different models. A cow eats dozens of kilograms of grass a day. Twenty yuan of grass is not enough. And if you leave the cow here, my people will have to feed it for you. Isn't that a cost?"

Jiang Wei had nothing to say and could only accept the unequal treaty.

The next day, he and a few cousins ​​brought three calves.

They were all calves that had just been weaned and were collected from the countryside.

The two were fine when they were pulled over, and they started eating grass as soon as they got off the car.

But one of them was not in good condition and knelt down in the car halfway.

When he was pulled to the pasture, he could no longer stand up.

Several people carried it down and laid it on the grass.

The calf lay on its side on the grass and struggled several times but failed to stand up.

It didn't even eat the grass and just kept mooing.

This made us very anxious.

It’s more worrying than if your own child was sick.

Li Fumin studied it for a long time and said, "It's calcium deficiency. You need to supplement calcium."

The brothers were all confused: "Cows also lack calcium?"

Li Fumin said: "Humans may lack calcium, so why can't cows lack calcium?"

Jiang Wei asked: "Why don't your cows lack calcium?"

Li Fumin said, "That's different. The cattle in the countryside are fed a single diet of wheat straw and corn stalks. They are locked in a pen all day without any activity or sun exposure. It's normal for them to be calcium deficient. We have to feed them salt from time to time to supplement calcium. There are more than a dozen kinds of grass grown on the farm, and there are all kinds of supplements. They run outside and bask in the sun every day, so of course they won't be calcium deficient."

Several people looked at each other and finally realized that cows were not that easy to raise.

This is fucking bullshit. If you raise a cow, you have to supplement it with calcium.

I really learned a lot.

Jiang Wei drove to buy calcium tablets.

Jiang Ze took out two packs of cigarettes and some wine from the car. One pack of cigarettes cost over 200 yuan, and the other wine was not bad, a bottle of Luzhou Laojiao cost over 100 yuan. He gave them to Li Fumin, although he had to pay for fodder for the cows since they were sent to Jiang Ning's care.

But it is still the people below who do the work.

If you don't give them some benefits, they probably won't take it seriously.

result……

Li Fumin took a look at the cigarettes and alcohol he was holding, but refused to take them. He said, "Take these things back!"

Jiang Ze thought he was being reserved and said, "It's just a small token of my appreciation, please don't be so formal, second uncle."

Li Fumin said, "You are harming me. If Yang Laohei finds out about your little stuff, I will lose my job. I plan to work on the farm until I retire and get my pension. It's not worth it to throw away my job for your little stuff."

Jiang Ze was immediately embarrassed: "It's just a little token of my appreciation, isn't it?"

Li Fumin said, "You can't take it. Several people were driven away last year and the year before last. Some of them secretly caught rabbits and sold them, some stole other people's things, and some were Jiang Ning's relatives and uncles. You can keep it for yourself!"

Jiang Ze had no choice but to put the cigarettes and alcohol back into the car.

Let’s talk about Jiang Wei.

I drove to the county town and went into a random pharmacy.

When he asked what calcium tablets were available, the clerk gave him two bottles.

When I asked the price, one was 98 and the other was 128.

It’s so damn expensive!

Jiang Wei asked, "Can this be fed to cows?"

The clerk was very surprised: "You want to feed it to the cow?"

Jiang Wei nodded: "Yes."

The clerk wanted to laugh, but tried hard to hold it back: "I think so!"

Jiang Wei asked again: "How much calcium should a cow take at one time?"

The clerk's cheeks twitched as he tried hard to hold back his laughter: "I'm not sure, but it should be more than humans eat!"

Jiang Wei asked, "Is there anything cheaper? This one is too expensive."

The clerk gave him a cheap glass bottle that looked cheap.

But the bottle is large and the price is cheap.

Only 29 per bottle, quite acceptable.

Of course you have to buy good quality food for humans, but for cows, a bottle costing more than one hundred yuan is too expensive.

Even though Jiang Wei has always been lavish with his money, he would not afford to feed his cows such expensive calcium tablets.

I don’t know how much a cow eats in one meal, and I forgot to ask when I left.

I didn’t want to make a phone call, so after thinking it over, I bought ten bottles.

As soon as he walked out the door, the clerk laughed so hard that he bent over.

When we arrived at the farm, we got out of the car carrying the bags.

When Li Fumin saw the calcium tablets he bought, he asked, "Where did you buy the calcium?"

Jiang Wei said, "I bought them from the pharmacy. Are these enough?"

Li Fumin was immediately delighted: "The calcium you feed cows is better than what humans eat. I can't bear to buy calcium tablets. I usually make some bone soup. Why don't you buy it from the veterinary pharmacy? It's useless for your cow to eat it."

"..."

Jiang Wei was confused: "Can't eat cows?"

Li Fumin said, "What cows eat is different from what humans eat. The calcium tablets that humans eat are useless to cows. And how can humans be compared with cows? How much does a cow eat in one meal? How much does a human eat? Go to the veterinary pharmacy and buy some veterinary calcium."

Jiang Wei was completely confused.

Jiang Ze, Jiang Lei and Jiang Yong were also confused.

Farming is a completely unfamiliar field for their generation.

I never knew that cows need calcium supplements.

I didn’t even know that I had to buy animal calcium to supplement calcium for cattle.

This is completely a blind spot of knowledge.

No wonder the clerk had such a strange expression just now.

This is such a misunderstanding...

Jiang Wei was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

I asked where the veterinary pharmacy was and had to go there again.

I went to the veterinary store and bought a few packets of calcium powder.

On Wednesday, Liu Wei went to have tea with Jiang Ning.

Drinking tea is not popular in Bei'an. When we say drinking tea, we actually mean going to a teahouse to have a meal. Teahouses are not like those in the south where drinking tea is just a side dish. The main focus is still on dining and entertainment. There are mahjong machines in the private rooms where you can play mahjong.

It can be considered an upgraded version of the chess and card room.

We ordered a pot of Longjing tea and a few dishes.

Chat while waiting for the food to be served.

Liu Wei first asked Jiang Ning: "Do you think it is better to buy a farm in the United States or Australia?"

Jiang Ning asked him, "Brother-in-law, do you really plan to buy it?"

Liu Wei said: "I'm still looking. I went there a few times last year and again after the Chinese New Year. I feel both sides are good. The agents said a lot of good things about each one. I'm a little undecided. I have to ask you. You must know more than me."

Jiang Ning said: "It depends on what you are going to buy it for. If you want to buy a farm for your cousin to live in, then Australia is more suitable than the United States. If it is just for investment, then it depends on the specific situation. If you plan to run your own business, then I think the United States is better than Australia. At least the United States has a large population and a large market capacity, and its agricultural products are definitely easier to sell than Australia."

Liu Wei asked: "If you run a farm, will the profit from an American farm be higher or an Australian farm be higher?"

Jiang Ning said: "It's hard to generalize. It depends on what you grow and how you manage it. It's just like growing rice and wheat. How can you simply distinguish them by region? Bei'an also grows wheat, but the incomes vary!"

Liu Wei asked: "Why did the agent tell me that Australian farms have much higher returns than American farms?"

Jiang Ning didn't care: "What does an agent do? Brother-in-law, you have been doing business for most of your life, so how can you believe it? Generally speaking, American agriculture is more developed than Australia, the market is larger than Australia, and the industrial chain is more complete than Australia. But when running a farm, the overall environment is only one factor to consider. Whether you can make money depends on how you run it. It can't be generalized."

Liu Wei was rather conflicted: "I actually want to buy a leisure farm. I don't want to stay at home anymore, so I want to live there with your sister for a while. But I can't spend so much money to buy a farm just for enjoyment. It won't work if I don't make money or have no output!"

Jiang Ning took a sip of tea and said, "You can't have your cake and eat it too. There is no such good thing in the world. I think you should think it over carefully. If you want to enjoy yourself, don't think about making money; if you want to make money, don't think about enjoying yourself."

Liu Wei nodded and asked, "How is your ranch?"

Jiang Ning said: "The price of forage grass is good this year, so I should be able to make some money."

Liu Wei sighed: "Your luck is incredible. The price of grass went up right after you bought the ranch."

Jiang Ning chuckled twice and of course would not tell him the truth.

If he hadn't found a way to create a market, how could the price of forage have increased?

After a few days, March went out.

After a late spring rain, the earth completely revived.

Overnight, the wilderness was dyed green. Lao Yang came back from the United States, and Jiang Ning was relieved.

At least he doesn't have to worry about the incident anymore.

After the limelight passed, the old man no longer went to work at the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. He only showed up occasionally to show his face. Most of the time he worked on the farm. When he had nothing to do, he would go downstairs to watch the workers work. Instead, his complexion became better and better.

The caregiver at home also resigned, and I instantly felt a lot more peaceful.

They all came from humble backgrounds and were not used to being served.

It always feels awkward when there are a few more outsiders at home.

Feng Yu had wanted to fire the caregiver a long time ago, but the child was too young and she was worried something might happen to him.

My daughter is now three months old and is healthy with no problems.

She and Feng Xue have gained some experience. Unlike when the baby was one month old, they were busy and knew nothing and needed guidance on many things. Now they are experienced in taking care of babies and there is no need to keep a caregiver.

The little guy is growing up day by day and becoming more and more lovely.

He lay on the bed, groaning, then raised his head and looked at his father and mother.

Until the strength is exhausted and the neck can no longer support the head.

Just lie down flat on your back and cover your mouth on the bed.

Feng Yu turned her over and made her lie flat to prevent her from suffocating.

The little girl waved her arms and kicked her legs, trying to turn over, but after trying for a long time, she couldn't. Jiang Ning picked her up and kissed her little face. The little girl looked at him with her big eyes.

That cute look melted his heart.

Feng Yu leaned on the bed, looking at his phone, and asked Jiang Ning: "Should I go to the tomb sweeping ceremony during the Qingming Festival?"

Jiang Ning said: "You don't have to go."

Feng Yu said: "Is it okay not to go?"

Jiang Ning said, "What's wrong with that? If your sister-in-law doesn't go, why would you go? No matter how important the ancestors are, they are not as important as the children. Tiantian is still so young, how can she leave her mother for a long time? Your task now is to take good care of the child."

Feng Yu nodded and thought it would be better if he didn’t have to go.

She also didn't want to be away from her children for too long.

Two days later, Qingming Festival arrived.

Dad Jiang bought some paper offerings and went to sweep the graves of his ancestors.

The pine trees in the cemetery grew very fast. They were already as thick as calves and five or six meters tall.

The elders were very happy to see this and said that Jiang Ning was a reliable person.

The cousins ​​looked at each other, all feeling a little depressed.

What you said, isn't it true that I am unreliable?

The cemetery was clean and the weeds had been cleared away, no longer looking dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. The only unpleasant thing was that the locks on the doors of the two houses had been smashed off and thrown on the ground, and everyone looked unhappy when they saw it.

I pushed the door open and saw that there wasn't much missing.

It's just some tools that are gone, they're not worth much money.

But this is a bit of a fool!

The uncle sighed: "Even the tombs of our ancestors cannot rest in peace, alas!"

The second uncle ordered Jiang Wei: "Buy two more padlocks and lock them up later!"

Jiang Wei nodded. There was no point in being fussy about this kind of thing.

Otherwise, people’s hearts are like devils, and next time it won’t just be breaking the lock.

The fire stick is gone too, most likely having been sold as scrap metal.

Fortunately, there was a rafter in the warehouse, which was taken out and used as a firewood stick.

Pour the burning paper together and light it on fire.

While burning paper money, they discussed this year's wake.

Last year, a rule was set that we should keep vigil for our ancestors on Qingming Festival.

Last year we were the ones guarding this side, this year it's my third uncle's turn.

It’s just that the cemetery was haunted last year, and Jiang Hua and his two cousins ​​were almost scared to death. They went home and told stories about it with great detail. Their parents even hired a Taoist priest to exorcise the ghosts and protect the spirits, but they didn’t know if it worked. Jiang Lei and Jiang Yong couldn’t help but feel worried.

After a night of fear, nothing happened.

When they got home and told the story, Jiang Hua and his two cousins ​​were scolded by their parents.

As for Jiang Ning...

He never took the initiative to say that there were ghosts in the cemetery. It was his brother and two cousins ​​who said it. At that time, Jiang Hua and his two cousins ​​were so scared that they couldn't sleep and wanted to go back to the city, but he stopped them. What could have happened to him? They couldn't blame him.

After Qingming Festival, several families gathered together again.

Discussing going to Jicheng to recognize relatives.

Jiang Ning didn't care and let the old men make the decision.

The weather is getting hotter, but the temperature is still a bit low at night.

The heating in the office building and dormitory has been turned off, but the boiler room is still heating. The heating in the villa cannot be turned off. Of course, it’s okay for the adults, but I’m afraid that the little ones will catch a cold due to the low temperature at night. That would be a big deal.

There was nothing to do on Saturday, so Jiang Ning didn't go out in the morning.

Feng Yu was playing with his daughter when he showed her his phone: "Do you think this dance is good?"

Jiang Ning took a look and saw a woman dancing.

He didn't feel how the dance was yet, the first thing he saw was the woman.

Her looks are just so-so, not as pretty as his wife and Feng Xue, but she has a nice figure. With the beauty filter, she looks pretty amazing. Plus, her dancing moves are really good, and all men like her.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Not bad."

Feng Yu was quite envious: "Dancing can improve your figure and temperament. My figure has become a little out of shape after giving birth. Do you think it's too late for me to learn dancing?"

Jiang Ning nodded mindlessly: "Of course it's not too late. How many of those women dancing on Douyin are professional dancers? They are no better than monks who just became monks halfway through their studies. Aren't they also twisting their bodies around just the same?"

Feng Yu still has some regrets: "When I was in elementary and junior high school, my parents signed me up for several interest classes such as piano and painting, but they didn't sign me up for dance. Dance should be learned from elementary school, and it's a bit late to learn it now."

Jiang Ning said: "Not really. Look at how they dance, they look pretty good too."

Feng Yu responded while flipping through his phone.

Suddenly I laughed out loud, not knowing what funny thing I saw.

Jiang Ning asked: "What's wrong?"

Feng Yu said: "The comments are so interesting. Do you men like to look at other people's wives?"

Jiang Ning said: "That should be it!"

Feng Yu asked: "Do you also like to look at other people's wives?"

Jiang Ning said: "Don't you women also like to look at other people's husbands?"

Feng Yu said: "Yes, there are a lot of handsome guys!"

Jiang Ning said: "What's so cool about them? They are all sissies."

Feng Yu asked: "Are other people's wives pretty?"

Jiang Ning said: "It looks good, but it's so fake. It's scary to death if you take off the beauty filter."

"what about this?"

Feng Yu handed the phone over again.

Jiang Ning took a look and said, "It's okay. It's also due to the beauty filter. I wonder what the real person looks like."

Feng Yu said: "I always feel that this woman is not young, but she looks very young."

Jiang Ning took another look and felt it was indeed quite strange.

He feels old, but looks very young.

On the 8th, the fathers finally reached an agreement.

All the male members of the second and third generations went, including my third grandfather and my third great uncle.

You can't go all the way to your clan to recognize your relatives, you can't go empty-handed.

Of course you have to prepare gifts.

Our parents were used to letting Jiang Ning take care of spending money.

On the day of departure, we gathered in the community.

Jiang Ning brought Coaster over from the farm.

When the parents got on the bus, they were surprised to see the gifts piled up in the back.

Father Jiang asked him, "Why did you buy so many things?"

Jiang Ning said, "There are so many people in the Jiang family in Jicheng. It would be embarrassing to take only one or two boxes."

Father Jiang took a breath and said, "You don't have to buy so much. How much did it cost?"

Jiang Ning said: "Not much, just tens of thousands of dollars."

Jiang Youxin went over to take a look and saw that they were all specialties of Bei'an.

Things like wild mushrooms and ground lettuce are not cheap.

A pack of A4 paper boxes costs more than a hundred dollars, no wonder it costs tens of thousands.

Several uncles praised Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning added: "There's more in the trunk!"

Father Jiang was surprised again: "What else?"

Jiang Ning hummed: "These are bought, and there are fruits from the farm in the back box."

Father Jiang didn't say anything and just sat down near the door.

When Jiang Wei came up last, he found that there was no seat for him.

There were so many gifts that they took up all the seats in the back row and filled up the aisle as well.

Jiang Wei had no choice but to sit on the hood.
