The school building is dark and damp, and there are many mosquitoes. There was no mosquito net and no mosquito coils, Luo Xu was bitten by mosquitoes and turned over and over, making it difficult to sleep.

It was almost eleven o'clock, so he got up and went to the village store to buy mosquito coils, otherwise after this night, he would be sucked anemic by mosquitoes.

The lights in most of the houses in the village had been turned off, and Luo Xu saw from a distance that the lights in the commissary were still on.

When he got closer, Luo Xu found that the window of the commissary had been closed, but the light hanging under the eaves was still on. He knocked on the window and called a few times.

"Anyone......"

Seeing that no one responded, Luo Xu thought to himself that he might have fallen asleep, and just as he was about to go home, the window of the commissary opened, and a beautiful face appeared in front of him.

"What are you going to buy?"

Liu Shuying suddenly appeared in front of Luo Xu's eyes, she had just taken a shower, coiled her wet hair, hurriedly dried her body, and opened the window wearing a loose white T-shirt, and was also stunned when she saw the young man outside the window.

Luo Xu never expected to see such a beautiful woman in such a small village.

"Is there a mosquito coil?" Luo Xu asked a little flustered, he was afraid that his gaze would cause Liu Shuying's displeasure.

"I'm sorry, but the mosquito coils are sold out tonight. You are the college student that Lao Qiaotou picked up, right?" Liu Shuying was not displeased by Luo Xu's gaze, she was not only not angry, but very happy to be able to make such a young man give such a gaze.

"Hmm. Do you have flower water here?" Luo Xu asked.

"Yes, I'll get you a bottle. Liu Shuying took a bottle of toilet water and handed it over.

"How much?" Luo Xu asked.

"Six. ”

Luo Xu paid the money and was about to turn around and go back, but was stopped by Liu Shuying.

"You wait. ”

After a while, Liu Shuying handed over a plate of mosquito coils, which she used at home.

"How much?" Luo Xu was overjoyed, with mosquito coils, he could sleep peacefully tonight.

"What kind of money do you want, this is a gift from my sister. Liu Shuying shook her hand and said with a smile: "Don't take it yet?"

Luo Xu reached out to take it, inadvertently touched Liu Shuying's finger, and hurriedly lowered his head in a panic. Liu Shuying didn't mind at all, but chuckled a few times.

"What's your name?" Liu Shuying handed Luo Xu another lighter, "Without a lighter, how can you light mosquito coils?"

"My name is Luo Xu. Luo Xu put down a dollar and left in a hurry.

"My name is Yoo Sook-young. Liu Shuying reported her name to Luo Xu's back, looked at Luo Xu's distant back, and smiled slightly: "It seems that this is still a chick." ”

Luo Xu didn't know that Liu Shuying was a widow, and she didn't know that she had a six-year-old stupid son. The contact with Liu Shuying just now made his heart beat a lot faster.

Before going to college, his relationship with women has always been good, and when he was in high school, because he not only had good grades, but also looked good, he also received confession letters from several girls. It wasn't until he entered college that the girls became realistic, and a phoenix man like him, who had no money and no power, became a "unsalable product" that no one wanted.

When he returned to the school building, he lit mosquito coils, and Luo Xu covered his body with flower water, so that mosquitoes didn't dare to disturb him again. After a day in the car, he fell asleep within a few minutes of lying down.

At two or three o'clock in the morning, Luo Xu suddenly felt a little cold, got up and found some clothes to put on, only to find that the wind was raging outside and the rain was pouring.

Early the next morning, before seven o'clock, Qiao Danian came to the school building. The heavy rain was still falling, and Luo Xu was standing under the eaves worried, in such weather, he couldn't do anything.

"Xiao Luo, did you sleep well last night? There are a lot of mosquitoes here. Qiao Danian asked with a smile.

Luo Xu smiled: "Uncle Qiao, I slept well last night and bought mosquito coils." ”

"Did you go to Liu Shuying's house?" Qiao Danian asked with a surprised expression.

Luo Xu nodded and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Danian said: "You just came to the village, there are some things you don't know. Xiao Luo, it's best not to go to her at night to buy things in the future, so as not to be chewed on the root of your tongue. ”

As the saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, not to mention a pretty widow like Liu Shuying, since her man's death, the rumors about her have not stopped for a day.

Qiao Danian didn't explain, but Luo Xu understood what he wanted to express. He is an outsider, and if he wants to land and farm here, it is best not to get involved in the rights and wrongs of the village.

In the morning, Qiao Danian put down the noodles, stood under the eaves with a rice bowl and sighed, "Alas, this is a strong wind and heavy rain, and this year's corn in the village is going to fall again." ”

Before going to the school building to find Luo Xu, Qiao Danian had already been to the field, and more than half of his family's ten acres of corn had been poured. The rest of the village was not luckier than his family, and they also fell a lot.

"Uncle Qiao, can you take me to the village chief's house in a while?" Luo Xu wanted to talk to the village chief, if he could get the support of the village chief, it would be much easier for him to do things in the village.

Qiao Danian said: "Of course it's no problem, but you have to be mentally prepared, Zhao Zhigao is not very easy to speak." ”

In any case, if he wants to buy land in Yuehu Village, he can't get around the village chief Zhao Zhigao, even if this person is not easy to contact, he has to give it a try.

After breakfast, Luo Xu was led by Qiao Danian to the front of a three-story small western-style building, this house is the most generous in the village, this is the home of the village chief Zhao Zhigao.

Qiao Danian knocked on the door, and after a long while, the big red iron door opened. Luo Xu just wanted to step forward to introduce himself, but suddenly rushed out from behind the door, which made his heart tremble, and he hurriedly took two steps back, slippery in the rain, and almost didn't fall.

Standing under the door was a man in his fifties, wearing a gray shirt, rolled up trousers, medium height, with a round belly and a bare head, he was Zhao Zhigao.

"Zhigao, this is Luo Xu, I came to our village to contract land for planting, and I want to talk to you. After Qiao Danian finished his introduction, he turned around and left, he didn't want to talk to people he didn't like.

"Hello Village Chief Zhao, it's a pleasure to meet you. Luo Xu stretched out his hand and took the initiative to shake hands with Zhao Zhigao.

Zhao Zhigao looked at him coldly, did not shake hands with Luo Xu, just turned to one side, and said coldly, "Come in." ”

Luo Xu followed Zhao Zhigao into the house in fright, but fortunately, the wolf dog behind the door did not attack him again.

When he arrived at the house, Zhao Zhigao simply motioned for him to sit down, and didn't even pour him a cup of tea. As soon as he came into contact, Luo Xu ate his dismount, it seems that this is really a difficult person to deal with.

Zhao Zhigao took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, looked up and asked, "What are you calling Luo?"

"Luo Xu. ”

"Oh, how much money did you bring with you when you thought of our village?"

Zhao Zhigao's question made Luo Xu stunned, but he didn't expect him to ask for money as soon as he came up. This is his weakness, his original savings, plus the two thousand given by his brother and sister-in-law, is only more than five thousand, how embarrassed to say it.

"Village Chief Zhao, your question is impossible to answer. Luo Xu smiled and spread his hands.

Zhao Zhigao smiled coldly and said, "You came to our village, the direction is right." But this qiē has to be based on the premise that you have money. I'll calculate the account for you, the contract fee for one acre of land is 800 yuan a year, and at least 20 acres must be contracted, which is 16,000 a year. According to the current market situation, it is paid every ten years, that is, you have to come up with 160,000. ”

"Pay every ten years?" Luo Xu said in surprise, he hadn't heard of it.

Zhao Zhigao said: "Young man, if I were you, I would like to pay it once in 20 Chinese New Year's Eve! You must know that now that prices are soaring, everything is rising in price, and the contract fee for one mu of land this year is 800, the year after next may be 1,000, and you may not be able to contract one mu after 2,000 in ten years." ”

That's right, but Luo Xu doesn't have any money at all, let alone ten years, even if he pays it once a year, he can't afford it. The reason why Zhao Zhigao asked him how much money he brought over as soon as he came up was that he saw that he had no money in his pocket. With his vicious eyes, you can tell at a glance whether this person is rich or poor.

"Well, I don't think we need to talk anymore. Zhao Zhigao got up to see off the guests.

Although he already knew that Zhao Zhigao was a difficult character to deal with before coming here, Luo Xu didn't expect that the first meeting between the two would end in such a wolf situation. He was a little unwilling, and wanted to talk to Zhao Zhigao again, his brain was racing, hoping to find Zhao Zhigao's weaknesses from the exchange just now and make a breakthrough in a targeted manner.

Whew......

There was a rush of footsteps on the stairs, and a boy wearing glasses with high myopia was seen running down the stairs.

"Mr. Zhao, I can't tutor your daughter, and I don't want the tutoring fee. The man said a few words to Zhao Zhigao, rushed into the heavy rain outside, and ran away.

Zhao Zhigao's brows were tightly furrowed, his hands were crossed on his waist, and air came out of his nostrils. Luo Xu saw that this strongman also had a weakness, that is, his daughter, and thought that maybe he could start with his daughter, but he didn't know where to start, after all, he hadn't even seen the face of Zhao Zhigao's daughter.

"Luo Xu, what kind of university did you graduate from?"

Just as Luo Xu was about to say goodbye, Zhao Zhigao took the initiative to ask.
