Become a burden in a period novel

Chapter 286: Way Out (1)

"Mingye, what do you think I can do in the future?" Yang Mingchao asked his question subconsciously.

"What?" Yang Mingye was stunned. What did this mean?

"I mean..." Yang Mingchao then asked his question.

When he finished speaking, Aunt Luo beside him also fell silent.

She is also a farmer and a mother, and a mother who raised her son alone after her husband passed away. She naturally understands Yang Mingchao's concerns.

The workers in the city have jobs, and education and medical care are very convenient. After finishing school, students can divide the work and have their own jobs. So what about the farmers who make a living from the land?

After working in the fields all year round, how much will they have left after paying their public taxes?

Yang Mingye didn’t know how to answer. He himself became a soldier, but that didn’t mean he didn’t know the hardships of the farmers.

"I...if my nephews want to join the army in the future, I can help." This was all he could say.

"Mingye, thank you!" Yang Mingchao forced a smile.

"When Wangshu comes tomorrow, you can ask Wangshu. Wangshu always has his own ideas and he should know what to do." Although Aunt Luo didn't know whether Qin Wangshu knew what to do, this was also a hope.

Because of this topic, they had no interest in chatting anymore that night and went to bed early.

But even though they were lying in bed, they couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Qianshan Brigade is their root. The Yang family has lived there since the previous dynasty moved here and has raised their descendants there. But although it is safe, it is not a prosperous place.

They mainly engage in farming, and their hard work throughout the year can only ensure that they do not go hungry.

There are no job opportunities there, and it is extremely rare to have a chance to send children to work in the city, which requires a lot of "effort".

Yang Mingye changed his family through conscription, so several families sent their sons to the military camp. Later, Qin Wangshu took everyone to study, and several people in their team were admitted to universities and colleges.

These children have come out of it, but what about the others?

What should people like Aunt Luo who are about to enter old age, and middle-aged people like Yang Mingchao who have elderly parents and young children to take care of, do?

Children can join the army, go to school, learn a craft, and work in factories, but what about them? Are they just trapped in that not-so-rich land?

Yang Mingye and Yang Mingchao were lying on the same bed, neither of them were asleep. They both knew that the other was not asleep, but neither of them spoke.

Yang Mingchao didn't want to feel sorry for himself, but Yang Mingye felt that whatever he said would be meaningless.

The next morning, all three of them got up very early, but their faces looked tired.

This was what Qin Wangshu saw when he came over with breakfast.

"Why, didn't you sleep well last night? There's nothing to eat here, so I brought breakfast."

Qin Wangshu put breakfast on the table and then prepared to go see if Professor Cen had eaten.

"Wangshu, after dinner, your brother Mingchao wants to ask you something." Aunt Luo didn't want to delay any longer, she also wanted to know as soon as possible whether they had any way to change it.

"What's the matter?" Qin Wangshu looked at Yang Mingchao.

"Let's eat first, and we'll talk after we finish eating." Yang Mingye reached out to help Qin Wangshu put away the breakfast, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet, you guys eat first, I'll go say hello to Grandma Cen." Since there was no rush, Yang Mingye took the breakfast again, and Qin Wangshu prepared to go to Professor Cen's room.

After asking Professor Cen, Qin Wangshu came back to have dinner with them.

When she came back, they hadn't started eating yet. After she sat down, they took their food and started eating.

Qin Wangshu didn't ask, and they didn't speak either, but seeing that Yang Mingchao and Aunt Luo looked worried, Qin Wangshu knew that what they wanted to ask was probably not simple.

Sure enough, after dinner, Yang Mingye started to clean up, and Yang Mingchao asked his questions.

While Yang Mingchao was talking, Aunt Luo also looked at Qin Wangshu with great concern.

"Brother Mingchao, I roughly understand the question you want to ask." Qin Wangshu didn't expect that this time he came out and Yang Mingchao would start thinking about this problem.

"But I want to ask, do you want to change only your own family's life or do you want to change the entire Qianshan Brigade?"

"Wangshu, what you mean is that you can think of a solution for the entire team?" Aunt Luo immediately said excitedly.

"Mom, don't be anxious. Listen to what Wangshu has to say." Yang Mingye stopped Aunt Luo, but his eyes were full of hope when he looked at Qin Wangshu.

"Qin Zhiqing?!" Yang Mingchao was also very excited, "I..."

"Don't be anxious, let's sit down and talk slowly." Qin Wangshu comforted them, and after they sat down, she slowly spoke.

"Let's talk about yourselves first. Brother Mingchao should have seen some changes in Beijing this time. I mean those who set up stalls and do business.

Beijing is the center of the country, so the news is the most up-to-date. Those who come out to do business are the signal that the entire market is relaxing. "

"What do you mean?" Yang Mingchao seemed to understand a little, but not quite.

"In the past, speculation was cracked down on, so everyone could only send their products to the purchasing station, but how could the purchasing price be compared with the selling price? If the market is liberalized, then the vegetables in the countryside can be sold directly to the city, and this is income.

If Brother Mingchao doesn't want to leave the Qianshan Brigade, he can just buy the vegetables and eggs from the brigade, and then sell them in the city to make a profit." Qin Wangshu said casually, but her words made Yang Mingchao seem to see the future prospects.

"When you have more money, you can open a shop in the town or county, and do some small business, either food or groceries. I remember that my sister-in-law is a very good cook. If you don't mind being tired, you can also buy breakfast or something."

Yang Mingchao thought about the people he saw eating there these days and felt that this was really a good business.

"Ke Wangshu, is this doing business?" This is not Beijing, so there is not such freedom there.

"Don't worry, the documents should be available soon. Brother Mingchao, you are not in a hurry anyway. Just prepare in advance and start as soon as the news comes."

They didn't know why Qin Wangshu was so sure, but they trusted Qin Wangshu very much.

The confusion in Yang Mingchao's eyes disappeared, and Aunt Luo and Yang Mingye were looking forward to Qin Wangshu's next words even more.

Qin Wangshu just said that he not only had ideas for Yang Mingchao, but also had ideas for the Qianshan Brigade.
