After listening to Zhen Meimei's words, the village chief also believed in her sincerity, but still said: "I know your reasons, then you can tell me about the place you like, this land is owned by the village collective, so whether you can successfully rent this land, I still have to discuss with the villagers." ”

It just so happened that Xue'er also came back and told Zhen Meili that there were no big beasts on the mountains nearby, and the vegetation was growing very well, but there might be more stones on the back. So Zhen Meili directly waved her hand and circled the dirt slope from the river in the north to the south, and the small bridge in the west to the mountain in the east. The small river flows down from between two mountains, so Zhen Meili directly chose this one on the south bank of the river, which happens to be connected to the soil slope.

made an appointment with the village chief to come back tomorrow, leaving the phone Zhen Meili and Xue'er to go home.

At dinner, Zhen Meili said to Jia's mother and Zhen's father that she had a good idea of a piece of land in Qijia Village today, and made an appointment with the village chief to discuss it tomorrow.

"Dad, Mom, do you want to go with me tomorrow? I think it's very good, there are mountains and rivers, and there are not many people. I chose a wasteland, but it wasn't a problem to have a spring. Zhen Meili asked her parents.

"Then let's go and have a look, we will also check it, otherwise we will be a little worried. "Dad Zhen didn't expect Zhen Meili to move very fast, and she had already found a good place, but she couldn't just try it fast, the quality was the most important.

"I'm not going, I made an appointment with Qianyun, and we're going to go shopping together tomorrow, anyway, your father and daughter can do it, and I'll go and see it when it's decided." "Mother Jia completely made a hands-off shopkeeper.

So the next morning, Zhen Meili drove Zhen's father and Xue'er to Qijia Village again.

"Well, it's not too far from the city, it's just over an hour. Where are they away from Hao Shuai?" "I choose to live in the countryside, and I can't stay away from the city, this distance Father Zhen is quite satisfied."

"It's pretty much the same, it takes less than an hour to get there. ”

Still parked the car at the entrance of the village, and saw that Village Chief Qi was already waiting.

Zhen Meili hurriedly pulled Zhen's father to the village chief and introduced: "Village chief, this is my father, Zhen is domineering." Dad, this is the village chief of Qijia Village, the head of Qi Village. ”

Father Zhen stretched out his hand to Village Chief Qi, "Hello Village Chief, I've caused you trouble." ”

Village Chief Qi held Zhen's father's hand and said happily: "No trouble, no trouble, you are welcome to come to our village." Hehe, I'm older than you, so I'll call you Brother Zhen. ”

"Hey, that's kind and kind. Seeing such a kind and simple village chief Qi, Zhen's father was also very happy.

Looking at the two who had begun to call each other brothers, Zhen Meili began to be embarrassed. Yesterday, I was still in the village and my grandparents called it, and today I found out that they are the same generation as Zhen's father. It's all her fault, she usually doesn't like to deal with people, and she can't even call someone right.

After Zhen's father and the village chief finished greetings, the village chief took them to the village committee to discuss things. Following behind the village chief, Father Zhen found that his girl's face was not very good-looking, so he quietly asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhen Meili also quietly told her father about her troubles just now.

Dad Zhen thought it was funny, so he did it for the sake of it. "It's not a big deal to call grandparents, our generation gets married early and late, maybe other people's grandchildren are older than you. In fact, I am also a teenager with the village chief, and it is a bit embarrassing to call my uncle, so it is just right to call my brother. What about you, in the future, if you look at the gray-haired ones, you will call them grandparents, and the younger ones will be called uncles and aunts. ”

Zhen Meili thought about it, and the people she met yesterday were basically old people, so it was not wrong to call the village chief and the village chief's wife a little younger.

"This is the village committee of our village, and there are no people in the village, so I am the village chief and village party secretary in this village. The village committee is also a little shabby, and you don't usually need it, so don't mind. Asking Father Zhen and Zhen Meili to sit down on the chairs, the village chief pointed to the empty room and said.

The so-called village committee is a house next to the big banyan tree in the center of the village, just one room, with a desk, bookshelves and a few chairs.

"Don't mind, it's good. "Since Dad Zhen is here today, Zhen Meili will let Dad Zhen come forward all the way. "Village chief, you see that Meili came home yesterday and told me about this to her mother, we are quite satisfied, I don't know how we discussed here?"

"Last night, our village also held a meeting, and everyone voted on the land lease to you, and everyone agreed. "There are a total of 15 households in this village, and there are 8 households still living in the village. Because all 8 households agreed, the minority obeyed the majority, and this was done. ”

"Then what if the remaining households don't agree?" Father Zhen felt uneasy when he heard that there were still 7 households that did not vote because they were not there. What if they have an opinion and come to find fault when the time comes.

"You don't have to worry about that, I'll call them one by one today. It's almost the New Year, and the old people in the family will ask to come back for the New Year. Besides, renting out the land allows the family to have some income, which is a good thing, and they have nothing to disagree with. Village Chief Qi waved his hand and said, not at all.

"Then the matter on the villagers' side, please trouble the village chief to notify you hard. Also, I would like to ask, how is this rent determined?"

"After discussion in our village, it was originally 100 yuan/year for one acre of wasteland and 50 yuan/year for one acre of barren mountain. Because the area you rent is quite large, we will give a 20% discount, 800 yuan/year for one acre of wasteland, and 40 yuan/year for one acre of barren mountain. How's it going?"

Zhen Meili didn't know the price, but she thought it was quite cheap, so it was up to Zhen's father. Father Zhen was also satisfied, "I believe that the people in our village must have given me an affordable price, and I also know that it is not easy for everyone, and I don't bargain, so let's come at this price." ”

"Okay, good, Brother Zhen is a cheerful person, I hope we will get along happily in the future. In the future, we will all be a family, today our wife and son prepared lunch at home, and you and Meili will come to my house for a farm meal at noon!" "Father Zhen agreed so happily, and Village Chief Qi was also very happy.

Thinking that Jia's mother must be eating out with Liu Qianyun at noon, Zhen's father was not polite, so he agreed. It just so happens that future neighbors can be examined again.

"Then bother the village chief. ”

There was still some time before lunch, so Village Chief Qi took Zhen's father around the village to introduce the villagers. Zhen Meili took Xue'er to the wasteland again, ready to take a closer look. It was late yesterday, and Zhen Meili didn't go to the slope to look, but today she had time to climb the small dirt slope and let Xue'er go into the mountain to subdue the little brother.

Standing on the dirt slope, the scenery of the whole village can be seen, with verdant wheat fields and houses looming among the trees. Seeing the village chief walking towards this side with Zhen's father, Zhen Meili beckoned to them.

After the two climbed the dirt slope, Zhen Meili introduced Zhen's father to the land she fancied, and then told him what kind of dream home she wanted to build.
