Wei Tian had used that money to open a small convenience store, and life in the Wei family improved day by day. On the other hand, the honest and simple Tang Zhinian was all alone, without any siblings, children, or grandchildren, laboring day and night on his few acres of land.
In that year, for so reason, coriander beca very popular. Ultimately, it was sold for one and a half yuan per pound; even so, there were no unsold vegetables left. In the entire village, only Tang Zhinian planted a few pieces of land with coriander. The coriander that year was of very good quality. Everyone thought that it would be a cold year with snowfall, but oddly enough, it was a warm winter, and no snow fell at all. Unlike in later years, where off-season vegetables were everywhere and transportation was developed, vegetables from the south could be eaten in the north, and vegetables from the north could easily be transported to the south. Sotis it only took a day or two to do so.
At that ti, a worker’s monthly salary was about forty yuan, but this coriander was sold for more than a yuan per pound, almost as expensive as gold. If they planted all the land with coriander this year, it was impossible not to make a good profit from the few acres they fard.
There were three people in their family. The distribution of land in the village was based on the number of people. The land was re-allotted every four years. Since it hadn’t been four years yet, Sang Zhilan’s share also had to be included in their family’s land allocation.
Two acres per person, so their family had eight acres. Even if they only planted two acres, they could sell it for at least three to four thousand yuan. Three to four thousand yuan at that ti could buy a house.
She had good plans for this money; it would be of great use in the future.
As she sat in Chen Zhong’s house, working on a small can, she seed a bit absent-minded. Her father and uncle had been gone for so long, why hadn’t they returned yet? She was worried that sothing might have happened, so she was lost in thought.
With a pat, her head was knocked.
“As a child, why do you worry so much? Why are your thoughts so heavy?”
Tang Yuxin rubbed her head and then lowered it, continuing to work, until familiar footsteps ca from outside.
Only then did Tang Yuxin smile happily.
Her father was back.
“Let’s go, Xinxin, we’re going ho.”
Tang Zhinian was beaming with joy. It seed that the plastic sheets had been bought.
When they got ho, there were rolls of plastic sheets on the tricycle in the courtyard. Once again, Tang Yuxin marveled at how low the prices were at this ti. Two hundred yuan, decades later, might be gone with a single trip to the supermarket, but here it could buy so many new plastic sheets.
Tang Zhinian gave his daughter sothing to eat, then brought out the stove at ho and began to cut the plastic sheets according to the size of the greenhouse. The shorter pieces needed to be joined, and the longer pieces could be cut. Joining them was easy; put an iron on the stove and place an old newspaper on top. Using the warmth of the iron, they could lt two layers of plastic sheets together.
The two brothers were full of enthusiasm, while Tang Yuxin felt sleepy after a while. Being small in stature, she couldn’t provide much help, so when she felt sleepy, she lay on her small bed and fell asleep.
When they were almost done, Tang Qinian rembered his daughter. There was only her at ho, and he didn’t know if she had been running around. When they looked at the ti, they were startled. It was already about four in the morning.
