Chapter 21 Persimmon Garden
Qianjin Village is located in a col behind the township axe, more than four miles away from the township axe, and it is also a washboard road with water, which can pass Daben.
Township Chief Qian, Zhao Changfeng, and Director Li of the police station sat on the iron plate in front of them, while Wang Facai grabbed the guardrail and squatted in the car body.
In the midst of the bumps in Daben, Township Chief Qian briefly briefed Zhao Changfeng on the situation in Qianqian Village and Cui Jincheng.
Qianjin Village is a relatively large natural village in Liangyazi Township, with more than 200 households and thousands of people. Most of the people in the village have the surname Wang, and there are very few people with foreign surnames, and Cui Jincheng is one of the few people with foreign surnames in the village.
On the hillsides around Qianqian Village, there are a total of four persimmon orchards, or is it culture? Planted at the end of the Revolution, because of negligent management, there were many pests and diseases, and the persimmon trees grew thin and low, and in autumn they could not bear a few persimmons. When the village committee called on the villagers to contract, no one else was willing to contract - not to mention how many persimmons could be picked, and there was no way to deal with the persimmons that were picked. It takes more than ten hours to go back and forth from Qianjin Village to the county seat of F County, and it is not enough to make money for that little persimmon to go to the county seat to sell.
Cui Jincheng was reluctant to contract with others, so he came out and told the village committee that he would contract the largest persimmon orchard. The contract fee is set at 250 yuan per year, and the contract period is five years. At that time, everyone in the village said that Cui Jincheng was not necessarily crazy, and he took out two hundred and fifty yuan a year to contract the persimmon orchard, which was definitely a real two hundred and fifty.
Cui Jincheng ignored the ridicule of the villagers. He went to the county Xinhua bookstore to buy a book on fruit tree management technology, according to the requirements of the book on the persimmon tree pruning, loosening the soil, fertilizing, spraying, after his care for more than half a year, at the end of the year, the persimmon orchard actually harvested 2,000 catties of persimmons, to the county seat to sell more than 800 yuan. However, because Cui Jincheng invested too much in the early stage, he basically didn't lose any money.
With the experience of the first year, Cui Jincheng was more motivated in the second year, so he borrowed 2,000 yuan from the credit union, all of which were invested in the persimmon orchard, and in the autumn of this year, Cui Jincheng actually harvested more than 10,000 catties of persimmons. It is impossible to sell all the persimmons in the county seat at once, so Cui Jincheng washed and dried the persimmons, dried them in the sun, and finally sold them to the county local products company. Over the course of the year, Cui Jincheng sold more than 4,000 yuan just by selling persimmons. After removing the cost of 2,000 yuan invested, Cui Jincheng earned more than 2,000 yuan a year.
So the people in the village were moved, and they went to the village to take the initiative to ask for the remaining three persimmon orchards. The village committee took advantage of the situation to raise the price and raised the contract fee to 500 a year, but some people still rushed to get the contract.
However, the people who contracted the remaining three persimmon orchards did not understand technology and could not manage; The second is that he is reluctant to invest, and he does not dare to go to the credit union to take out a loan to invest in the persimmon orchard like Cui Jincheng. So in the autumn, although these three persimmon orchards are not much smaller than Cui Jincheng's persimmon orchards, they did not harvest many persimmons, except for the pesticides and fertilizers invested, and in the end, they did not even earn 500 yuan in contract money. As a result, the villagers lost interest in contracting persimmon orchards.
Cui Jincheng didn't care about other people's affairs, he continued to increase investment, spent more than 3,000 yuan to hire someone to dig a well in the middle of the persimmon orchard, bought diesel engines, water pumps, and bought cement from afar, and built a hardened channel several hundred meters long in the middle of the persimmon orchard, just to facilitate watering and fertilizing the persimmon trees.
So for three consecutive years, Cui Jincheng's persimmon orchard has had a bumper harvest one after another, and Cui Jincheng has also become one of the top wealthy households in Qianqian Village.
But this year, Mr. Choi's five-year contract expired. When he went to the village committee to re-sign the contract, the villagers came to make trouble, and they all fought for the contract of this persimmon orchard, especially the majority of the village's surname Wang, and they formed a group to exert pressure on the village committee, saying that the persimmon orchard could not continue to be contracted to Cui Jincheng under any circumstances.
Cui Jincheng of course didn't do it, for this persimmon orchard, he has invested almost seven or eight thousand yuan in the past five years, drilled a machine well and repaired the canal, but now, the village committee wants to contract this persimmon orchard to others, how can he agree? For a while, he was in a stalemate with the villagers surnamed Wang.
Wang Facai, the village party secretary, is still a fair person, although the villagers of the same clan have put a lot of pressure on him, he also feels that Cui Jincheng has invested so much money, and it is not appropriate to contract this persimmon orchard to others now. However, Cui Jincheng's contract has only been signed for five years, and now that the contract period has arrived, there is some reason for the villagers to ask for a new competition for the contract. So what exactly should be done with persimmon orchards? Wang Facai had no idea.
Yesterday morning, Wang Facai rushed to the township government axe and asked the head of the township for instructions on this matter, hoping that the head of the township would give him an idea. Township Chief Qian hurried to Wohu Township to pick up Vice Minister Wu and Zhao Changfeng of the Organization Department, and he didn't have time to think about it for a while, so he said, go back and let all the villagers of your village catch lots, and whoever catches them will contract, so it is the fairest, resigned to fate, and if you don't catch it, you will have bad luck and complain about others.
After Wang Facai returned, he told the villagers what Township Chief Qian meant, and arranged for a representative from each household to come to the village committee this morning to draw lots.
Cui Jincheng was also a little dumbfounded when he heard that it was Township Chief Qian's idea. He was stunned for a long time, and then said, it is okay to use the method of drawing lots to decide who will contract this persimmon orchard. But if someone else catches it, he must be compensated for the money he has invested in the persimmon orchard in the past five years.
The villagers surnamed Wang who were present stopped doing it, and they said to Cui Jincheng, did the village let you dig a well? Or did the village let you build a canal? You did it all of your own volition, and no one forced you? There are also experts to prune persimmon trees, spray persimmon trees to kill insects, these are all done on your own initiative, who can blame you? If we catch the lot and contract the persimmon orchard, we will definitely not give you a penny of compensation. If you don't want to, you can take the well you have dug and remove the canal you have built. We also think that the wells and canals you have built are in the way of the persimmon orchard!
This remark can make Cui Jincheng angry enough. But he is a detached family in Qianqian Village, and he can't fight so many families surnamed Wang, and other small surnames are looking at Cui Jincheng's fortune, so he doesn't stand on Cui Jincheng's side to speak at this time, but instead helps the villagers surnamed Wang - it's good to catch lots, and we may also catch persimmon orchards if we catch lots! What's the benefit of helping you Choi Jincheng?
Cui Jincheng's words made Wang Facai very difficult. Because he refused to make the decision to re-contract the persimmon orchard, he had already offended the people of the same clan, and now if he came out again to say a fair word for Cui Jincheng, then he would not be able to go on as the branch secretary of the village. Besides, Cui Jincheng didn't even have a bill for everything he did in the persimmon orchard, and he opened his mouth to say, who knows how much money he invested.
Wang Facai said that he would draw lots first and determine who would contract the persimmon orchard, and then talk about the rest of the things.
Hearing Wang Facai say this, Cui Jincheng was in a hurry. This matter is not said in advance, after the lot is drawn, who will recognize your dish. Cui Jincheng began to pester, annoying Wang Facai, and said Cui Jincheng, if you make trouble again, I will find a security guard to send you to the township police station. Cui Jincheng gave up angrily.
Wang Facai originally thought that this matter would end here, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened the door this morning, Cui Jincheng would hang on the door frame of his house. So he hurriedly put Cui Jincheng down and found a barefoot doctor in the village to rescue Cui Jincheng, and he hurried to the township government axe to report to the head of the township.
More than four miles of talking, Daben had stopped in a mountain village in the mountain col while talking. Wang Facai got out of the car first and led the way in front, with Township Chief Qian, Zhao Changfeng, and Director Li following behind.
Cui Jincheng was rescued at Wang Facai's house. Before he reached Wang Facai's house, he saw a group of people surrounding the door from a distance. Wang Facai's heart sank, and he said that if it was bad, Cui Jincheng might be dead. Turning his head to look at Township Chief Qian, his face was also gloomy, and he was so gloomy that he was about to drip water.
When he arrived at the door and saw his nephew standing outside, Wang Facai asked, "How is Cui Jincheng?" ”
My nephew hurriedly said: "I've been rescued, and I'm lying in the house to rest." ”
Wang Facai's hanging heart was just put into his stomach. Township Chief Qian's face also shouted too much.
"Get out of the way! If you have nothing to do, go home, what to see here? Director Li had bright handcuffs hanging from his waist, and he shouted loudly. So the people dispersed, and the timid villagers returned home, but the bold villagers watched from afar and did not really leave.
As soon as he entered the gate of Wang's house, a woman's figure pounced up, crying and scolding: "Wang Facai, I will fight with you!" ”
It is Cui Jincheng's mother-in-law.
Wang Facai knew that he was at a loss, so he hurriedly dodged, and Cui Jincheng's mother-in-law pounced on Township Chief Qian.
Township Chief Qian frowned, and Director Li over there had already shouted: "What are you making trouble with this crazy woman?" Township Chief Qian, do you dare to pounce too? Believe it or not, I arrested you at the police station? ”
Cui Jincheng's mother-in-law saw that she had collided with Township Chief Qian, and her heart was a little empty, and she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sat on the ground to hide her face and cry, which was very miserable.
