Chapter 196: Money Devaluation
In a flash, it was New Year's Eve.
Yesterday, after business finished on the 29th, Ji Jianyun gave everyone a break.
For those like Sun Dashan and Sister He, the break lasted until the fifth day of the New Year. On the sixth day, they had to go to the college town to open the shop for business.
As for the workers in the orchard, they took turns taking a break because there was still chicken to take care of. They were also needed for the sheep and pigs.
When the pigs were killed, Ji Jianyun took Uncle Ji with him and bought more piglets. This time, he bought more. He bought 30 piglets.
He planned everything to raise 30 pigs in the future.
Next year, his land would also have crops. This year, the villagers had tasted the sweetness of selling sweet potatoes. There would definitely be more next year, so Ji Jianyun didnt worry about not having enough food for the pigs. Thus, he started to raise 30 pigs, no more, no less.
It was also because manpower was still needed on the mountain. Even during the New Year, the break required a rotation.
For Uncle Ji, he didnt really like going home and had been staying on the mountain more. This allowed the others to take turns to go on vacation.
After Ji Jianyun made the arrangement, he began to prepare a summary report for the year. He kept the accounts for how much he earned and spent this year, so now he's going to do a general summary.
Su Danhong didnt have any interest in that. She was cooking lotus seed meat congee for Renren and Qiqi in the kitchen. This was what they all had to eat for lunch today. Renren had asked for it, while Qiqi followed and nodded.
It was easy to eat the congee. After the congee was cooked, Su Danhong fried some eggs, and then she was done cooking.
She divided the food between the brothers. Renren ate his share, and it was very good.
Su Danhong was responsible for feeding Qiqi.
After the brothers finished eating, Ji Jianyun had also finished calculating the accounts. Su Danhong saw the joy on his face and knew that he made a lot of money this year.
Although there wasn't a lot of money left this year, there were still the pigs sold, as well as the income from the college town. Moreover, Lao Qin and her second brother had come over to close out their debt, which was about 3,000 yuan.
But compared to last year, how many more properties did her family gain this year?
There was the shop on the other side of the college town, 30 acres of land, the convenient department store in the town, and the large reservoir.
Although they still owed a payment for the reservoir, it was only 2,200 yuan. The last calculation was over 3,000 yuan. After paying off the debt, there would be about 1,000 yuan left.
That's not even counting the money with Su Danhong. There was also the money Ji Jianyun gave to her to buy food.
Ji Jianyun took out the 2,200 yuan he owed and had to go find the village director to pay off the debt. The money could also be shared to make everyone happy during the New Year.
Although the villagers didn't get a lot of money, each household got seven or eight yuan. Also, didnt they basically get it for free?
Seven or eight yuan was relatively not a lot, but from their point of view, if used sparingly, seven or eight yuan could help a family of five live well for a month.
From this, it could be seen that the money was quite substantial.
Wait until I finish eating. The village director may be eating now, I dont want to trouble him during that, Su Danhong said with annoyance.
Okay. Ji Jianyun smiled. *:.:*:*: ??????? ??? ?????????? ??? ???? ?? ?????????.??? :*:.:*
He washed his hands and sat down to eat.
He was a restless person. After finishing his meal, he drove to the village director's house and then talked to the village director.
The village director was easy to work with. The signatures, witnesses and so on were all handled by Ji Jianyun.
When Ji Jianyun killed the pigs, his family did not get a pig head. However, Ji Jianyun brought a large piece of lard, which was excellent.
Ji Jianyun didnt give any to him again. If he did, he would be suspected of bribery, and its not like they were relatives.
Ji Jianyun was happy to make the payment. Those from the other villages were happy to get a share of that money.
Aside from the other villages, even the villagers in the village directors own village were happy because they also had a share.
The 2,200 yuan was paid back in advance, and the remaining 1,000 yuan was saved by Ji Jianyun's wife. Apart from grocery shopping, his wife also paid the salary to the workers. Thus, the money was naturally spent quickly.
Su Danhong didn't care what Ji Jianyun did. When he gave her money, she waited to see if there were any other shops to buy in the college town. She knew what her husbands ambition was like. He wanted to contract the two mountains next door. When that happens, the current shop in the college town would definitely not be enough, so she had to buy more.
A few days ago, when Sister Hong came to visit, she mentioned the current housing prices outside. They were relatively slow in this area, but it was not in the college town. Housing prices were rising like bamboo shoots after it rained.
Thinking of this, Su Danhong said, Jianyun, do you want to go to the college town to see the shops after the New Year?
Ji Jianyun knew it as soon as he heard that, and said with a smile, I want to see it if it's near our shop. I've talked about it once to the owner, but it doesn't seem like he has any intention of selling.
Of course, Ji Jianyun wanted to buy another shop. Next year, he would have a reservoir, farm land, and more pigs and fruit orchards. Of course, he wanted another shop.
As for who would manage it, he was going to let Sister He and Sun Dashan each manage one and then hire two more people to help them.
If you cant buy the shop next door, then look elsewhere, Su Danhong said.
Well, if I make enough money next year, we can go check it out. Ji Jianyun nodded.
Theres no need. If there's a suitable one, we can buy it. I have about 8,000 yuan, Su Danhong said.
She had sold two pieces of embroidery for 3,000 yuan together. Just now he gave her 1,000 yuan. She already had 4,000 yuan, so she had 8,000 yuan or so.
You dont need to do this. You should find time to apply for a bankbook and save it yourself, Ji Jianyun said.
That money needs to be compiled. Just put my name down when you buy the shop, and then you should manage it for me, Su Danhong said.
Although she often stayed at home, she knew what was going on. When she first arrived, the price of pork was only 42 cents a pound, but now it's over 80 cents. For the same amount of money paid, there was less meat. What will happen in the future? What will be the price?
If they buy a shop, it would also increase. If they buy it now and dont use it, then they could sell it in the future and not lose any money. However, if they keep the money savings, the value would not increase.
Im fine with that. Ji Jianyun smiled when he heard that.
On the evening of the New Year's Eve, as usual, the whole family tidied up and went over to eat at Lao Ji's house.
This year's dishes were even more abundant than last year. When she came over last year, Su Danhong had brought some fruits, but this year she didn't bring anything. She had oranges and apples at home, but she didn't want to bring any over.
She brought it last year, but she was criticized by Ji Yunyun. Su Danhong didnt want to hear any of it this year. Ji Yunyun was getting married, but she didnt change anything about herself. Naturally, Su Danhong ignored her.
Even to this day, Su Danhong did not ask much about Ji Yunyun's marriage, and it's not her business to worry about it.
After having a beautiful and harmonious reunion dinner in harmony, Ji Yunyun spoke up while everyone was around and asked, Third brother, what are you adding to my dowry when I get married?
