Evening.

Nanguo Village.

Guo Minghui and his daughter-in-law were eating at home when they heard a knock at the door outside.

"Bang!"

Bang bang bang......

"Who, it's really going to be in a hurry. Guo Minghui's daughter-in-law Wang Fengping put down her chopsticks and prepared to go down the kang to open the door.

"Wait!" Guo Minghui suddenly called out to his daughter-in-law and stretched out his hand to hold it.

"What?"

"I'll go!"

Wang Fengping looked at his old man strangely, since she came back from her mother's house, she felt that her husband was weird, especially at night, always suspicious and startled, the door outside used to be closed before going to bed, and now it will be closed when it is dark, and it has to be locked from the inside.

Guo Minghui got off the ground, when he walked out of the back room, his face became serious, since he offended Song Baosheng, he has become extra careful, there are people during the day, don't worry about anything, but at night, pretending to be a ghost knocking on the door and smashing the glass, this kind of Song Baosheng brought those second-rate people did not do less, Song Baosheng should come out in the day, will he come to take revenge?

Out of the outhouse, Guo Minghui casually picked up the broom standing by the door and asked loudly outside, "Who?"

"Is it Village Chief Guo? I'm Ma Haishan from Xiangyang Village. ”

Ma Haishan?

Guo Minghui was stunned when he heard it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that he had been carrying finally fell back, "It turned out to be Village Chief Ma, I'll open the door for you." Guo Minghui said and took out the key and opened the big iron door that was locked behind him.

Outside the door, I saw Ma Haishan pushing a bicycle, and there were two bags of things hanging on the handlebars, and I couldn't see what they were through my pockets.

"Village Chief Guo, didn't bother you when you came to your house so late?" asked Ma Haishan with a smile.

"No, why don't you just have dinner with my daughter-in-law, have a bite to eat together?" Guo Minghui greeted in the courtyard, in fact, when he heard that it was Ma Haishan, he knew that the purpose of the other party coming to him tonight must be for land contracting.

"No, no, I'm just here to see Village Chief Guo, thank you Village Chief Guo for helping me introduce Boss Li. Ma Haishan parked the bicycle and took off the pocket hanging on the handlebar, "This is some mountain goods that I picked up in the mountains, they are not worth much, don't dislike them." ”

"Don't, don't, Village Chief Ma, you're out of sight, our two villages are next to each other, to put it bluntly, it's equivalent to neighbors, do you need to send things away? Hurry up and take it back, I resolutely can't accept your things." Guo Minghui stretched out his hand to push things back, things may not be worth much, but it is not good to hear, although the village chief is not a big official, but after so many years, he thinks that he can be worthy of the word 'incorruptible', everyone sits down to eat and drink together, and it is nothing, give gifts, resolutely do not.

"Village Chief Guo, if you don't want to, you will look down on me Ma Haishan. Ma Haishan said with a straight face.

"We're both village chiefs, I don't look down on you, but I really can't ask for this thing. ”

"You hold ......"

Just when Ma Haishan and Guo Minghui were pushing around, Wang Fengping walked out, "Don't push, if you have anything to say in the house, I don't know and think that you are quarrelling, how bad it is for the neighbors to hear." ”

Guo Minghui grabbed his pocket, hung it on the handlebar, and then pulled Ma Haishan and walked into the house, saying as he walked, "Old Ma, I know what you are here for tonight, we are so familiar, you don't have to follow this, if you really want to hear it, just follow me into the house, if you bring something again, then I won't talk about it." ”

Ma Haishan smiled embarrassedly, and sure enough, he couldn't hide it from Guo Minghui, so he didn't insist, and followed Guo Minghui into the back room.

Wang Fengping took another cup and put it on the table, and went to the outhouse to clean it up, Guo Minghui gave Ma Haishan a cup of Lao Baigan, looked at the other party and asked, "Lao Ma is here to ask about land contracting, right?"

Ma Haishan nodded, looked at Guo Minghui a little helplessly and said, "Don't hide it, I'm here tonight, you also know the situation of our Xiangyang Village, the location is remote, the arable land is small, and I have been poor all these years, and the accounts in the village are all negative, so I am incompetent." ”

"Village Chief Ma, don't say that, these villages near us are all half a catty, if you say that you are incompetent, it is equivalent to saying that we are all incompetent. Guo Minghui said.

"I also want to lead the village name to get rich, but I don't have that brain, and I am still timid, a few days ago, there were many bosses of this company who went to our village to talk about land contracting, looking at the thick stack of money that has been placed on the table, I didn't dare to touch it, do you say I'm a bear?"

"Where is this bear, this is incorruptible. ”

"Don't blow it for me, to be honest, I came to your village two days ago, and I saw the comrades in the city surveying and mapping for you, planning roads, and cars to transport students to school in the town, which made me greedy, as the old saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and if we can also build roads in Xiangyang Village, it will be good. Ma Haishan sighed deeply, and suddenly asked Guo Minghui, "Do you say there is hope in our village?"

"I see......" Guo Minghui stopped just as he was about to speak, looked at Ma Haishan, who was blinking with small eyes, and suddenly said with a smile, "Village Chief Ma, you are playing a trick on me." ”

"No, we're all village heads, isn't it normal to discuss ways to get rich tonight?" Ma Haishan said with a smile.

"Okay, don't go around the bend with me, don't cry poor in front of me, tell you the truth, when you come back with Boss Li, I really probed his tone for you. Guo Minghui said mysteriously.

"What do you mean by Boss Li?" Ma Haishan immediately became nervous.

Some bosses who only pay the contract money, and a boss who not only pays the contract money but also pays the road repair, does it still need to ask who to choose? Although he will personally reap some benefits from contracting to the former, when he thinks that the money was obtained by selling the villagers and selling the land in the village, his heart will be uneasy, and he will be happy to take out the stack of money to build the road, but how much can he rest with such a little money?

"I listened to Boss Li, and I don't seem to be interested in your village. Guo Minghui said while observing Ma Haishan's expression, and when he saw the other party's face showing disappointment, he immediately continued, "The main thing is that there is too little land in your village, you think, Boss Li has now won more than 30 villages, more than 10,000 acres of land, and the dozens of acres in your village can't enter the eyelids of others at all, plus road repair, to be honest, the road repair money is more than the contract money." ”

"Alas!" Ma Haishan sighed deeply, took a sip of Lao Baigan from his cup, clicked his mouth a few times, shook his head and said, "I knew it would be like this." ”

Guo Minghui smiled secretly in his heart, raised the cup in his hand, and comforted, "Village Chief Ma, don't be discouraged, if you can't do it, you contract the land to others, now there are people who contract the land everywhere, you have land, are you still afraid that you won't be able to contract?"

"Village Chief Guo, this is not a matter of whether or not to contract land, but a matter of road repair. Ma Haishan said, Lao Ganbai is very spicy, but today it feels bitter in his mouth, he picked up the cup, drank one with Guo Minghui, raised his head, took a sip of dryness, and then turned around and prepared to go to the ground, "Lao Guo, I'm sorry for your trouble, I'm leaving." ”

"Don't mind, let's talk a little longer. Guo Minghui hurriedly said, "Let's sit together and think about it, maybe there is another way?"

"People are not ready to contract, what can we do?" Ma Haishan said in frustration.

"People are not interested, but you can't do something that makes people interested?" Guo Minghui prompted.

"What's the matter?" Ma Haishan asked, and after asking, he suddenly patted his thigh and said loudly, "By the way, I introduced the girl from our village to this Boss Li and made him the son-in-law of our village.

Guo Minghui smiled after listening to it, "Okay, old horse, have you used all the beauty tricks?" Or do you have ideas, but do you know whether people are married or not? Do you know if people have girlfriends? People are big bosses, young and rich, and there must be no shortage of women around." ”

When Ma Haishan heard this, he wilted like a frosted eggplant, "Then what should I do?"

"It's hard to say this, it's easy to say, as long as he knows that it is profitable to invest in your village, then isn't it okay? ”

Ma Haishan felt that it made sense, so he nodded, but after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head again, looked at Guo Minghui with a wry smile and said, "You don't know the situation in our village.

Guo Minghui picked up the chopsticks, took a few bites of food to eat, took another sip of wine, looked thoughtful, and after a while, he suddenly put the wine glass on the table, slammed, and said, "I think of one." ”

"Say it quickly!" Ma Haishan listened carefully, and the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor.

"Lao Ma, doesn't Boss Li think that your village has less land? You can just add more to the contract period?" Guo Minghui said, "Our villages have signed for five years, but who knows what will happen after five years?" Whether it's good or bad, I think there must be people who don't renew, you think, do a good job, some people are greedy, anyway, the road is repaired, take it back and let's do it ourselves, if it is broken, don't expect to renew, Boss Li must also understand this, at this time, you will sign a long-term contract with him, thirty years or even longer, let him know that although you have less land in Xiangyang Village, but it can ensure his long-term interests, in this way, he will not only contract your land, build roads for you, and even increase investment in your village, and wait for five years, others will not renew, maybe your Xiangyang Village will become a fragrant dumpling in his bowl, to be honest, a boss as big as a family, just dial some rice out of the bowl, it's enough for your village to eat for a few years......"

"yes, I didn't think of that. Ma Haishan patted his thigh and said excitedly, but after a while, he frowned again, "You said that he signed for so many years, what if his business is not good?"

"The business is not good? If the business is not good, will people still invest? Will they still grow medicinal herbs? Doesn't that mean that they will take money to waste it? Maybe they will return the land to you in advance, and it's a big deal to go out to work and go up to the mountains to collect medicine, anyway, no one in your village usually expects that little land to feed the family." ”

"Yes!" Ma Haishan nodded thoughtfully.

Guo Minghui saw that Ma Haishan was thinking about it seriously, and knew that the other party was tempted, and then said, "Actually, I am just a brick-thrower, and I don't have to be more serious about the number of years of contracting, you can also use your brains and think about other aspects, as the so-called all roads lead to Rome, you don't necessarily have to take this road, right?"

Ma Haishan picked up the wine bottle, poured a glass for Guo Minghui, and filled a glass himself, "Although there are many roads, but there are not many suitable for us in Xiangyang Village, come, Lao Guo, I salute you, thank you for your suggestion, if this matter is negotiated, I will definitely invite you to my house to drink, and then we will have a drunk!"

"Okay, that's it!"
