With the nourishnt of the Spiritual Spring water, there’s no need to worry about the two turtles escaping.
But just in case, she still needs to figure out a way to tell her parents to block the water outlet. Fortunately, she doesn’t have to worry much now, as Uncle Liu spoke for her.
The adults discussed how wide the fence blocking the water outlet should be to prevent the turtles from escaping while ensuring smooth water flow, and ideally, small fish could swim in and out freely.
Xiaomi pondered how she could sneak into the town without her parents knowing.
She wanted to buy two piglets, preferably uncastrated, to put a male and a female in her special space, allowing them to freely develop.
However, this seed a bit troubleso. If piglets aren’t castrated, the at can taste gay, and during mating season, they not only don’t grow but also lose weight.
The problem is, from what Xiaomi has learned in the past two years, piglets need to be castrated at about one month old.
And the piglets sold outside are usually about two months old.
This ans that even if she goes to the market and is lucky enough to encounter piglets for sale, they would all already be castrated.
Quite a tough situation.
Just as she was thinking, she heard Uncle Liu laughing and nodding: "It’s good to raise them, now it’s not like we’re short on food. After a few years of raising, who knows how many little turtles might be born."
Xiaomi’s eyes sparkled as she asked, puzzled: "Mom, why don’t we raise sows at ho?"
"Today, I heard from Xiaocao that their family raised a sow, and it gives birth to many piglets each year. They don’t have to buy any, and the piglets can be sold for money."
This wasn’t sothing she made up. Xiaocao said it herself.
Her family just sold a litter of piglets last month.
It’s just a pity that she was late and missed them; otherwise, she would have tried to secretly buy two uncastrated ones.
"Well..." Her mother didn’t know how to respond for a mont and could only look toward Jiang Hu.
Then Uncle Liu spoke up again: "Xiaomi’s idea is good. Little Jiang, I’m not saying this lightly, but your family reaps great harvests from anything you plant and raises anything well."
"Now that you’ve settled down, why not hire soone to do the fieldwork, and you just need to focus on the big picture?"
"The sa goes for those chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits. Find a place and raise more. The sa with pigs; buy a few sows and hire so farmhands to look after them. Won’t this make more money than if you did the work yourselves?"
"The most important thing is, you’ll have a lot less pressure, right?"
Xiaomi nodded vigorously like a little chicken pecking rice. Indeed, every successful person has a team working under them.
To achieve big goals, one must learn to employ talent.
In the next mont, Uncle Liu shifted his attention to Xiaomi: "Look, even Xiaomi thinks I’m right."
Xiaomi chuckled softly a couple of tis: "Back in Fu’an Village, didn’t our family also have many farmhands? We planted plenty of crops."
"Uncle Liu, I understand what you an." Jiang Hu nodded. "It’s just that we’ve just arrived in Xiangmu Village and aren’t familiar yet. To be honest, I do have such plans."
With only a couple of pairs of hands, the work they can do is limited, as are the harvests.
With three boys in school, the expense on ink and paper each month is substantial. Relying solely on planting those few crops is unlikely to cover it.
So, the couple has been discussing this matter at night over the past few days.
Can they really let the children stop studying?
That’s not an option at all.
Education is essential, even learning a little reading and writing is far better than knowing nothing at all.
Not to ntion the pursuit of scholarly honors, which shop managers don’t possess those skills of literacy and eloquence?
Reading more offers a future with more opportunities, unlike them, who have spent a lifeti farming.
As parents, they naturally hope their children will have a less burdenso life than their own.
This is a shared sentint between the couple. After all, having fard for most of their lives, no one understands the hardships better.
Since Jiang Hu already has so ideas, Uncle Liu said no more. Jiang Hu is steady in his ways, and once he decides on sothing, he rarely changes his mind.
Furthermore, Jiang Hu approaches everything with prudence, which satisfies and reassures Uncle Liu.
Compared to those rushing headlong, Uncle Liu favors Jiang Hu’s cautious approach.
Also, the Jiang family lacks foundational support, making this kind of developnt more suitable.
After a lunch like that, Xiaomi almost knew her parents’ upcoming plans. Besides providing help from the Spiritual Spring, it seed there wasn’t much else she could do.
Well, she thought, I’ll just take so ti to visit the village, check out those separate ponds, and pour so water into each one. After all, this water is for irrigation.
As for whether the entire village uses it, she doesn’t really mind.
