Zhou Yun picked up the mobile phone on the table and looked at the time. 1:10 p.m.

Zhou Yun put on his coat. Get out of the dorm.

Jiang\1 West University of Finance and Economics is located in the suburbs of Nan\1 Chang. Get away from the city. Around the school is the countryside and there are three villages, Lou Tien Village, Da Tien Village, and Niulan Village.

Zhou Yun came to Niulan Village. Stopped a villager carrying a hoe and a straw hat and asked, "Hello, fellow." How do I find your village chief? ”

"You keep going, about 200 meters, and you'll see a grapefruit tree. Behind the grapefruit tree there is a tiled house surrounded by a yard. That's the village chief's house. The villagers showed Zhou Yun the way.

"Good. Thank you. Fellow. Zhou Yun said.

Zhou Yun walked straight ahead, and a few minutes later, he saw a grapefruit tree. Behind the grapefruit tree there is a tiled house surrounded by a yard. There is an iron gate in front of the courtyard. A yellow dog barked at Zhou Yun. Soon, the owner of the house was alarmed. Scolded the yellow dog.

The yellow dog didn't bark anymore.

"Who are you looking for. A woman held a dustpan and said to Zhou Yun.

"I'm looking for the head of this village. Zhou Yun said.

"He went out. The woman said, "Wait a minute." Then, shouting into the room, "Don't watch TV yet, Fangfang." Your dad was probably playing pai gow in the ancestral hall, and you went to call him back and said that someone was looking for him. ”

"Got it. Inside, a girl answered.

"It's cold outside. Come in and sit down. The woman opened the iron gate and said.

"Good. Thank you. Zhou Yun said.

There was a charcoal basin in the house. The TV series "Latent" starring Yao Dazui and Sun Honglei is playing.

Zhou Yun sat in front of the charcoal basin.

About 10 minutes passed.

A middle-aged man walked in and said to Zhou Yun, "Hello." I am the head of this village. Are you looking for me?"

"Hello, village chief. I do have something looking for you. Do you have land rent in your village? I need about half an acre, to one acre. It doesn't matter if the rent is high. Zhou Yun said.

"Yes. The couple went to work in Shenzhen, and there were only the elderly and children left in the family, and their land was barren, so I would ask the old man in his family. The village chief said.

"I'll go with you. Zhou Yun said.

The two came to a family at the entrance of the village. There was a big banyan tree in front of his house.

An 8 or 9-year-old boy fetches water from a pressurized well. Zhou Yun saw that the little boy's fingers were red from the cold.

......

The village chief shouted loudly at the door, "Second master." Are you home?"

"At home. There was a response in the house. After a while. Out of an old man.

"Your family is moving forward, and the couple is going to work in Shenzhen. If no one farms, will your land be wasted? The village chief said.

"Four acres of land are rented to others to plant, and there are four rows of vegetable fields to grow a ridge of peppers, a ridge of cabbage, and two rows are probably going to be barren. The old man said.

"You've got about 2 points of land. The village chief said.

"Almost. The old man said.

"1 acre of land is 6 points. 2 points is 1/3 of an acre. Is it enough?" the village chief asked Zhou Yun.

"Not enough. Zhou Yun said to the old man, "Old man." I'll rent your land. Will you rent it to me?"

"2. I'll rent it to you if it's barren anyway. The old man said.

"What crops are most valuable in your village? Zhou Yun asked.

"Chili. The old man said.

"How much can you sell for a ridge of chili peppers. Zhou Yun asked.

"A ridge of land can harvest about 80 catties of chili peppers, a catty of chili peppers can be sold in the vegetable market for 1 yuan 2 yuan / catty to 1 yuan 3 / catty, and a ridge of chili peppers can be sold for about 100 yuan. The old man said.

"Peppers can be harvested in two seasons. That is, planting a ridge of chili peppers can sell for 200 yuan a year. 4 ridges of land is 800 yuan. I'll spend 1,000 yuan to rent you these 4 ridges of land for a year. If I pay it back next year, the rent will definitely not be less than 1,000 yuan. Zhou Yun said.

Of course, that's not how the economic account is calculated. To grow chili peppers, you also need to buy chili seeds, turn the ground, loosen the soil, water, take care of them, and take the chili peppers to the vegetable market to sell, which can be sold for 1 yuan 2 a catty to 1 yuan 3 a catty, but the purchase price of the vegetable seller's chili pepper is only a few cents.

Of course, the old man and the village chief on the side also knew how to calculate such an account.

"Good. The old man said.

"Village chief, you can make a certificate in the name of the village committee. It proves that I rented the old man's four-ridge vegetable plot for a year at a rent of 1,000 yuan, and then I signed with the old man's fingerprint. Zhou Yun said.

"Good. The village chief said.

......

A certificate stamped with the official seal of the village committee. Then, Zhou Yun and the old man Niu Fuming put thumb handprints on the certificate and signed their names. In triplicate. Zhou Yun and the old man each hold one copy, and one copy is kept on file by the village committee.

Zhou Yun took out 1,000 yuan from his backpack and gave it to the old man.

Leave the old man's house.

Zhou Yun said to the village chief, "Village chief, you help me hire a few people in the village." For 50 yuan, loosen the soil on the four ridges, trim the ditch, and for 300 yuan, you can find someone to help me fence around the land. ”

"Good. The village chief agreed.

The other party is very generous.

1000 pieces of land to rent a 4-cent plot of land for one year. 300 yuan to find someone to fence around, and the money is very generous. These living village chiefs decided to do it themselves.

Zhou Yun returned to school.

I looked at it, and it was 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Took a shower. 5:20. Head to the Li Sister-in-law Hotel outside the school.

It was 5:30. It's school end time.

Zhou Yun called Zhou Qiang. Tell them to come directly to the Li Sister-in-law Hotel after class. Private room No. 3.

About 10 minutes passed.

The three of them pushed the door and walked into the private room.

Zhou Qiang, Zhou Bin. There is also a girl with dark skin and a very delicate appearance, Yu Sijia. The three of them sat in position.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you. You've changed so much. Yu Sijia said.

"yes. It's like a different person. Zhou Qiang said.

"Why did you take a month off. Zhou Bin said.

"I'll tell you later. Let's order first. Zhou Yun said, and then handed the menu to Yu Sijia and said, "I'll invite you for this meal, Yu Sijia, you order first, and you can order whatever you want." ”

"Good. Yu Sijia took over the menu and ordered a blood duck, threaded eggs, and dried meat.

Zhou Qiang took the menu and ordered a loach drill tofu.

Zhou Bin ordered a tamale. Stir-fried bacon.

There are a total of 6 dishes, all of which are hometown dishes, enough for 4 people.

The menu is in Zhou Yun's hands. Zhou Yun ordered a fried oil and wheat cabbage. One fish head tofu soup, one vegetable, one soup. Then, to Zhou Qiang and Zhou Bin, he asked, "Do you want to drink?"

"Have a drink. Zhou Qiang said.

"I'll drink a little too. Zhou Bin said.

Zhou Yun said to the waiter, "A bottle of Wuliangye, and then, a large bottle of fruit orange." ”

......

"I took a month off to go to Changbai Mountain. Zhou Yun said.

"What are you doing in Changbai Mountain? Zhou Qiang asked.

"Dig ginseng. Zhou Yun said.
