I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 232 Preparing to Raise ChickensIn the morning, Xu Congyi was thinking about going to the village chief to talk about raising chickens, so she got up early. When the whole family was having breakfast, Xu Congyi announced to everyone that she was determined to open a restaurant with Tang Wenhao, and that she would raise white-feathered chickens with the villagers. In fact, she had already revealed this plan to her family the night she stayed up late at home to study special sauces. Today, she just formally told her family that she was ready to go to the village chief uncle to discuss the matter in detail.
After listening to Xu Congyi's words, Old Man Xu, as the elder in the family, was the first to express his attitude: "Yiyi, this is a great thing! After lunch, I will go with you to find the village chief and we will talk about this matter." His tone was full of encouragement and support for his precious granddaughter.
The rest of the family naturally supported Xu Congyi's decision. They knew that she had always been independent-minded and believed that she could make the right choice. However, Li Dahua was still a little worried. She was worried, just like Xu Congyi herself had thought before, that if the chickens could not be sold, wouldn't it be a loss?
Xu Congyi understood his mother's concerns, so he patiently explained to her the conclusion he had drawn after talking with Shen Xiao that night: "Mom, don't worry. I took all those white-feathered chickens out of the space, and they actually didn't cost any money, so their cost was zero. We let the villagers raise them, but of course we can't say that we're giving them away for free, otherwise people might not cherish them and not raise them well. So, we plan to charge some money for the chicks, but not immediately, and it's not mandatory. I plan to use Mr. Tang's reputation to tell the villagers that these chicks were provided by Mr. Tang. You can raise them first, and if the chickens can be sold to the restaurant smoothly, we'll calculate the money for the chicks; if they can't be sold, we won't charge you." This arrangement takes into account the interests of the villagers and reduces everyone's risks. "
After hearing this, Li Dahua's worries were relieved and a relieved smile appeared on her face. She patted the back of Xu Congyi's hand and said gently, "Yiyi, you are always so careful and thoughtful. Mother believes in you and Mr. Tang. With you two here, our village will definitely get better and better."
Xu Congyi knew that the people in the village had been kind to her family. During the years when she was sick, it was because of everyone's help that the Xu family lived a poor but not difficult life. She had the memories of the original owner, so she clearly remembered those days when she was ill and her family was under a lot of pressure. But fortunately, the whole village did not stand idly by. They supported the Xu family silently in their own way.
Before the family sold the land, many uncles would help with farm work to lighten the burden on old hunter Xu. Some villagers would often bring some homemade remedies and herbs. Although they might not work miraculously, their kindness was as warm as the sun in winter. Some aunts, whose families were not well off, would cry when they saw little Xu Congyi's thin face due to illness, and then secretly put money under her pillow, hoping that she would recover soon.
Even the clothes that Xu Congwen and Xu Cong'an wore were all washed clean by the villagers, and then given to the brothers by the villagers. Although these clothes are old, each one is full of the villagers' love and warmth.
What moved Xu Congyi even more was that whenever his family needed something, such as seeing a doctor or buying some medicine, the villagers always refused to charge for the ride. They knew that the Xu family was in trouble, so they always tried their best to help.
"Please rest assured, I will never forget the help of the villagers." Xu Congyi said firmly, "Now that I am capable, I hope to do something for the village so that everyone can live a good life." There was a determined light flashing in her eyes. She knew that she had the responsibility and obligation to repay this village that had given her countless warmth and care.
After hearing what Xu Congyi said, Xu's mother's eyes were slightly red. She said with emotion: "Yiyi, grandma knows that you are a thoughtful child. We all remember the kindness of the villagers to us. Now that you have this kind of heart, our whole family is proud of you. No matter what you need us to do, we will fully support you!"
After breakfast, Xu Congyi and Old Man Xu set out to find the village chief. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkled on the two of them, making them feel warm. Xu Congyi chatted with Old Man Xu as they walked, telling him about his plans and aspirations for raising chickens and opening a restaurant. Old Man Xu listened to his granddaughter's words, with pride and expectation in his eyes.
