Chapter 51: Refrigerator, Washing Machine, and Color TV!

“That’s for sure, but I’ve been away from ho ever since I was 19 years old, and even when I co back I’ve never stayed for long. What experience can I have with planting trees?" Ji Jianyun shook his head and said helplessly. “If I really did have experience with trees, then how could I hide it? The land is so big, how many fruits are sold from the sa family? They all co from the sa village. I will definitely take care of my own village first.”
“Is it really so? Did you really just exaggerate to everyone that your family has help from the Great Fox Immortal?” An uncle from the Ji family asked.
“Pft.” Ji Jianyun spurted out a mouthful of tea and said with a frustrated smile, “Uncle, I'm an atheist. Don't tease . What Great Fox Immortal? It’s clear that my wife just brings prosperity to our family!”
The words “brings prosperity to our family” blocked the words of the uncle and his entire family.
There are two theories going around. One was that Jianyun's wife was possessed by a Great Fox Immortal and casted magic so that all the saplings would grow.
The other theory was that Jianyun's wife brought prosperity to their family and because of this, their family was doing well. Whatever she raised was good and whatever she planted grew.
Speaking of the Great Fox Immortal, the uncle from the Ji clan did not believe it. Where did the Great Fox Immortal co from? If this was like before, then we would go out to fight it.
The theory of Jianyun’s wife bringing prosperity, that one really might be true.
The uncle didn’t have much of an impression of Jianyun's wife. However, recently he saw that aside from having great luck, she had the sa manners of a young lady in a landlord’s family like in the past.
Uncle Ji was old and knowledgeable. He used to work for a landlord's family when he was a youngster. Naturally, he understood more and had a deeper impression.
So when it ca to Jianyun's wife bringing prosperity, there was so credibility.
“Uncle, try this beef. My wife made it. I've never eaten such delicious beef before,” Ji Jianyun said and passed over the beef he had brought.
Although Uncle Ji's mood was not the best, he would still be polite. After a taste, he was imdiately shocked. ?????????????? ?????? ???????????????????? ?????? ???????? ???? ????x????????????
The taste was the sa as the at of a stead at bun he ate at the landlord's house more than 60 years ago. It was so good that he wanted to swallow his own tongue.
In the end, although Uncle Ji didn't get any advice on how to grow the fruit saplings, the two n had pleasant discussions.
In the end, this was Ji Jianyun’s paternal uncle, so Ji Jianyun proposed that he would take Ji Jianchuan and Ji Jianhe with him to study the trees in the future.
Ji Jianchuan and Ji Jianhe were uncle Ji’s sons. They had a relatively close relationship with their cousin, Ji Jianyun.
With Ji Jianyun's proposal, a smile grew on uncle Ji’s face.
When Ji Jianyun ca back with the empty plate, he told his wife about what had happened.
Su Danhong knew that one of the sons in Uncle Ji’s family was not a hard worker. Aunt Li had co to her before with the intention of asking her for a spot in her orchard for her son, but Su Danhong gracefully refused, saying that she had enough manpower. If she didn’t, then she would have definitely given one to their family.
This was always sothing that ca up from the relatives or the villagers and so reputation needed to be maintained.
That’s why Su Danhong did not object to Ji Jianyun’s decision.
“We will all be working together, so if they don’t succeed, uncle can’t bla ,” Ji Jianyun said with a chuckle.
Su Danhong rembered sothing and said, “By the way, if you are going to go and work, then you'll have to take the driving test. In the future, you'll have to drive to transport fruit and more.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Jianyun responded with: “I already passed the driving test while I was in the unit.”
“You passed? How did I not know?” Su Danhong was astonished and looked at him.
“Back then I didn’t treat you well. When I was free, I learned from my master and passed the test, but I didn't have use for it,” Ji Jianyun said.
“Then that saves us a lot of trouble,” Su Danhong said and nodded.
Ji Jianyun hesitated for a mont and said, “It might cost too much money if you want to buy a truck.”
His wife was still planning on buying an apartnt and all the money was earned by his wife.
How could Su Danhong not know what he was thinking? After taking a side glance at him, she said with annoyance, “Don't get any bright ideas. You can earn the money yourself to buy a truck. The money I earn will be used to buy an apartnt at the end of the year.”
She felt that as a wife she should not do everything. She had to give Jianyun a chance to do sothing. He was the head of the family after all, and he could not be deprived of his dignity as a man.
As soon as he heard her words, Ji Jianyun's eyes lit up and he imdiately assured her, “Don't worry, Danhong, I'm sure I can buy a truck. I've made up my mind. If we have a good harvest next year, then I'll borrow Lao Qin's truck. I have a close relationship with him. I'll pay him for his work and won’t let him work for free. When we make money, we will imdiately buy the truck!”
“You can make the decisions. These things do not concern .” Su Danhong said fortunately she had pulled the brakes in ti to see Jianyun’s excitent.
Ji Jianyun was very happy.
Su Danhong sent him out and began to embroider.
She could embroider for another three or four months, but she wouldn't during the last month because she needed to prepare for when the baby ca or see what plans needed to be anded.
Because of the rising popularity from seeing Ji Jianyun and the fruitful orchard, so of the villagers followed and started creating their own even if they didn’t get any useful advice on taking care of trees.
Ji JIanyun naturally ignored them because their relationship was not very close.
Everyday, he went up to the mountain to help build the wall. He was a fast worker. With him around, his brothers, Ji Jianguo and Ji Jianye worked harder and did not dare to be idle.
In addition to embroidery, Su Danhong was responsible for Ji Jianyun’s als because he was working. Thus, the lunch for the workers beca better, especially when Su Danhong made red braised at that was delivered by Mother Ji. Aside from how much they craved it, it was quite a bit of food and it tasted delicious. They were eating so well that Mother Ji privately told Su Danhong not to make so much.
Su Danhong doesn't take her words seriously. “Mother, those are our employees. If they have big appetites, then let them eat. It’s fine.”
The ones having their als on the mountain were Father Ji, Ji Jianguo, Ji Jianye, and Ji Jianyun. Only Xu Aidang and Ji Hongjun were outside employees. Su Danhong was satisfied with their work and had the intention of hiring them as long-term workers. Thus, it didn't matter if they ate a lot.
Besides, Ji Jianyun was also there, and she was reluctant to have Ji Jianyun eat just stead buns with pickled vegetables.
That day, when Ji Jianyun ca back, took a bath and had dinner, Su Danhong asked, “When will there be electricity in our village?”
“I think at so point this year,” Ji Jianyun replied. “I heard eldest brother say that Qian Village already has it. When Gajia Village is done, it will be our turn. We should have electricity in our village before the New Years this year.”
There was electricity in the army, and it was much more convenient to have electricity.
“The last ti I went to sister Hong's house, I saw her family had a refrigerator, a washing machine, oh, and that’s right, a big color TV,” Su Danhong said with so envy.
When the baby is born, how many diapers would have to be changed in a day? During the winter, how much easier would it be to throw it into the washing machine instead of just washing it by hand?
