? At this time, my grandfather felt that something was wrong with me and took the initiative to talk to me. "Niu Niu, if you are in financial difficulties, just tell grandpa that he has money and I will give it to you."
? My grandfather is 76 years old this year. Although he offered to help me, I thought, how could he be rich at his age? Even if he has at most 10 thousand pocket money, how can I ask him for money?
? Maybe he saw my doubts and said, "Niu Niu, I am really rich. Earned 50 thousand last year. "
? This shocked me. It's not that he has 50 thousand yuan, but how he earned 50 thousand yuan. So I begged him to tell me his history of "getting rich".
? When grandpa was young, he was a clever boy, who was fond of tossing and turning, had many ways, and had a good business mind. So in the 1990s, he was the biggest feed distributor in our county, and then his monthly net income was 10,000.
? Later, when he was old, the feed was not easy to sell. He went to sell insurance. At that time, insurance was not recognized and the premium was very cheap. But he has a wide network of contacts and will be a man. He has done business before and kept his promise. Almost every household in our village has bought his insurance, 10, and his maximum monthly income is 40,000 to 50,000.
Now he is old. He got prostate cancer eight years ago. He has been carrying a urine bag, so it is inconvenient to walk and his mental state is not as good as before. We thought he should rest at home, but we didn't think about him and tried to make money. The 50,000 he earned last year mainly came from the following ways.
? 1. Rental income. The monthly income is 2200~2300.
It turns out that our home is in a village not far from the county seat. There is no real estate in our county, and there is an old house near the ancestral hall in the village. Because the feng shui near the ancestral temple is not good, no one lives there.
? However, due to the construction of new countryside, the village invested in painting and repairing the house. My grandfather spent a little extra money when he went out, pulled water and electricity for his family, laid tiles, bought a table and a new bed, and divided it into seven small single rooms, each ranging from 100 to 300 yuan, and rented it to workers in nearby construction sites.
? Needless to say, the decorated house has good lighting, warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is close to the county seat. It is also attractive for the tenants who rent 300 yuan to send them a piece of cultivated vegetable garden soil to grow vegetables.
? After all, vegetables are expensive now. If you can grow your own vegetables, you can save a lot of money. Although the house is near the ancestral temple, it is important to work outside to save money, and I don't care about feng shui, so many people call to rent a house after posting small advertisements for renting a house. So the monthly rental income of this house is 1200 yuan.
In my family, because my parents are away all the year round, they only live at home for more than ten days in the New Year, so the two rooms on the first floor have been empty. My grandfather rented these two rooms to the project department of the construction site and gave them the office and the residence of the project manager. The rent is 500 yuan per month.
? Of course, in order to rent better, my grandfather planted flowers in our yard. In the past, the courtyard was surrounded by walls and covered with marble. Now there are all kinds of flowers here, and the scenery is unique.
? In addition, because the house they live in is close to the road, they opened a canteen there, selling navel oranges, which are daily necessities and snacks, and they also earn 500 yuan a month to 600 yuan.
Second, the monthly income from selling eggs is 600-800.
? You have to send eggs when you are pregnant and have children. Although in rural areas, there are few truly pure soil eggs, so soil eggs are very expensive, 2.5 each, which is difficult to buy.
? My grandfather is a good chicken farmer. He keeps a dozen chickens and can lay at least a dozen or twenty eggs every day.
? The main reason is that he is willing to spend time thinking about how to make chickens lay more eggs. He provides nutritious meals for chickens every day.
? He is in charge of chicken food. He chopped up the green leaves every day, mixed them with corn kernels, rice kernels and sweet potato kernels, and fed them to chickens. From time to time, give the chicken meat, break the snail or shell and feed it, or put it in the ground to eat worms. A chicken can lay at least one egg every day.
? Except for the eggs he eats at home, the rest of the eggs will be booked in advance, which will bring him 600~800 yuan's income a month.
3. The monthly income from selling vegetables is 2000 ~ 2400.
? My grandmother is also a hardworking person. Grandma is six years younger than grandpa and can't be idle.
Several plots of land in front of our house are used by grandma to grow vegetables. Leek, pepper, green vegetables, eggplant, beans, etc. Because the two old people are at home at ordinary times, grandma always pulls the endless vegetables to the county street to sell.
? Because it is more convenient to fertilize and water at home, grandma's dishes are fresh and have no pesticides, so they are more popular. You can earn seventy or eighty dollars a day, and sometimes you can earn more if the price of vegetables is more expensive.
Fourth, the pension income is above 1700 per month.
? Because grandpa sold insurance in his early years, he has a strong sense of supporting the elderly. Although they have no retirement salary, they have already paid pension insurance, and now they can receive more than 1700 pension every month. This part is used as their daily expenses.
? After listening to Grandpa's history of "getting rich", I can't help feeling that as long as you have a lively mind, love to think, have a strong desire to make money, and are diligent and have strong actions, life will not be hard.
? This also reminds me that there was no income during the epidemic. Anxiety is useless. Only by taking action will it be much more difficult to solve the problem.
