Chapter 15 Incidents and Auctions
A few days after the seventh day of the first lunar month, Zhang Chen and Liu Aiping, mother and son, rushed back to Zhangwan from Taoyuan, because they were in confinement, so they didn't show up much, but the daughter-in-law of the old Zhang family gave birth to a daughter, and the news of adding someone to the family still spread.
At this juncture, family planning is still making a lot of trouble, the old Zhang family gave birth to a girl at this time, which is called a crime against the wind, and the people on the team are neighbors near and far, but they all praised the girl's good-looking appearance in person.
But in Baihe Village, this matter is a bit of a trouble.
"He Zhang Wenlin made it clear that he was lying to Lao Tzu, why did he go to Shanghai to see a doctor, I think he went to Tibetan confinement, this thing can't be like this, he is violating the national family planning policy."
"Okay, Lao He, you can rest for a while."
"What do I rest, if Lao Tzu doesn't die, he won't be called He Liubao."
The room suddenly fell into a dead silence, and Liu Bao, the secretary and head of Baihe Village, sat behind the old-fashioned desk angrily, smoking a yellow cigarette gun in his mouth.
In several brigades in Baihe Village, there are especially many people with the surname Zhang, followed by the surname Peng and Li and the majority of people surnamed Shi, He Liu Bao is the director and secretary of the village, in fact, he is not popular, in the matter of the old Zhang family illegally giving birth to a daughter, he knows that if he wants the whole Zhang family, it is a fool's dream.
There are many people who have a second child in the village, and family planning is nothing more than increasing the difficulty of having a child.
Although Boss Zhang's family background was not good in the Zhangwan team a few years ago, he was also loyal, and there was no contradiction with the village, not to mention now, it was not enough for him to be a village director to overthrow him.
He Liubao said that this kind of thing was just angry words, so the village didn't take it seriously, but unexpectedly this time He Liubao was really angry.
It has not yet reached the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, so Zhang Chen is happy at home.
There are not many things in the fish pond after the old Zhang family, and there is no need to put material in the fish pond before the spring, and the big fish in the grid box can be picked up every day.
The fish in the pond in my own house have been raised for more than a year, so I don't have to worry much, and the auction date of those fish ponds in Baihu Bay is set on the day of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the auction location is not elsewhere, just at the head of the Baihu Bay dam.
The rules of the auction are not difficult, and Zhang Chen is too lazy to toss and ask people to bid, but let Lao Tzu prepare dozens of white porcelain sea bowls, which are placed on the long bench at the head of the dam and prepared more than a dozen long benches.
The cadres from the township who came to supervise and be in charge of notarization arrived at the dam head early in the morning, and originally thought that there were only about 50 people, but in the end there were more than 200 people, and there were no less than 100 people who planned to buy the pond, and the rest were people from the township and various villages, not including the villagers who watched the excitement on the periphery.
After being confirmed by the township, there are 28 fish ponds in Baihu Bay, except for the one left by the old Zhang family's own family and after being confirmed by the township to be reserved for the Zhang Wan team for contract use, there are still 25 left.
The size of these fish ponds is not small, and they are distributed along the surrounding dams, and only a hazy gray margin can be seen at a glance, and the township officials have marked the fish ponds.
At the beginning, the situation of the seedlings of the old Zhang family was also printed, and the ponds were different, and the starting price was different, but the lowest ones were marked to 20,000, and the good ones were called 32,000 or 35,000.
In this auction, six police officers came to the police station in the township, and five people also came to the cooperative, two of whom were responsible for counting the money, one was responsible for bookkeeping, and the other two were responsible for the safety of the money.
He planned to count the number by the people of the cooperative on the spot, issue a deposit slip on the spot, and see the money, and each village also contributed to the construction of this road, and this time people from all villages in the township came, on the one hand, for justice, and on the other hand, he naturally saved the mind to see how much money could be sold.
This money is open and exposed, which will undoubtedly reassure them, and the road will definitely be repaired.
Hu Deping came to Zhangwan early in the morning, and he was responsible for this auction in the township according to Zhang Wenlin's opinion, Hu Deping had a lot of contact with the Zhang family for a while, and he was also very familiar, especially knowing that this auction and road repair was undoubtedly an opportunity given to him by Zhang Wenlin and his son, so he was also very cautious.
After the people who plan to auction are registered, Hu Deping will not hesitate, this auction is related to the question of whether the Zhangba Highway can be repaired, so it can only succeed and not fail.
But it seems that the money raised by those people, in fact, he already has some bottom in his heart, at this time, there are not many people who dare to come out with tens of thousands of dollars, but this time the people who came to the auction seem to be very sure, and the tens of thousands of dollars are very neat in the bag.
"Be quiet, I am Hu Deping, the deputy head of the township, and I will be responsible for the auction of the fish pond in Baihu Bay, don't make any noise, listen to me first.
They are all villagers, the rules do not get so much, the twenty-five sea bowls in front of them represent twenty-five ponds, according to the code, everyone first grab a bid number, and fill in a number on the paper strip after thinking about it, and knead it into a paper ball and put it in the marked sea bowl.
After everyone bids, the township is responsible for dismantling the fair, and the one with the highest bid gets the right to contract the fish pond, and everyone lines up and grabs the bid number first. ”
As soon as Hu Deping finished speaking, two female clerks in their thirties from the township took out a box for voting, which contained exactly more than 100 notes, and after the people who wanted to bid were arrested, they took out more than 100 copies of the materials.
These materials are the area, location, shrimp seedlings and other information of each fish pond, and the people who came to contract the ponds today brought staff officers even if they were illiterate, so they were not afraid of not being able to understand them.
Half an hour is not more and not less, enough to make up your mind, even if there are three or two people in tandem to buy one, it is unpredictable to understand the minds of more than 100 people, so I am not afraid of missing shots or low prices, and people from all over the country do not know each other.
Hu Deping raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist that was given to him by the elders of the family when he graduated, his heart was not impatient, but he seemed very calm, he knew very well that this series of opportunities, if he grasped it, he would cross the threshold that had stopped him for several years within the year.
Half an hour was fleeting.
This is far from enough for the discussants, but Hu Deping has already started the timer, and each bid cannot be filled in more than two minutes to fill in the numbers.
After a minute, the person who got the No. 1 number still didn't come out, not to mention Hu Deping, but Zhang Chen, who was watching from the sidelines, sweated in his palms. It seemed like ten hours or more had passed.
Just in the last ten seconds when Hu Deping was about to announce the end of the time, I saw a somewhat unfamiliar middle-aged man throw a small paper ball into the No. 1 bowl with a ruddy face.
"Shi Laosan, you fucking want to grab the No. 1 pond with me!"
"Third child, I don't see that you are not small-minded!"
"Shi Laosan?"
Hearing the shouts of the people around him, Zhang Chen couldn't help but think of the person in front of him, Shi Laosan was in the past of Zhang Wan, and the villagers of a brigade in the outermost part of Baihe Village seemed to be this person who came out of obscurity and took over the original pond from his own Laozi.
Unexpectedly, this time he was really surprised again.
No. 1 pond is the best location of a fish pond, and the price is naturally the highest, with a reserve price of 36,000, but there are also more than 15,000 fish fry in it, and the contract price of 12,000 a year is a sure win, but it is still unknown how much the final bid can get.
After the bidding called Shi Laosan, he walked back to the crowd, and several people around him obviously knew each other, but from the expressions on his faces, it could be seen that they were all a little surprised that he made such a choice, and Zhang Chen was a little surprised when he saw this.
The more this is the case, the greater the chance of success, and I am afraid that we will all agree on it, although it is unlikely, but it is inevitable that the boat will capsize in the gutter.
