Chapter 171: The Land Dispute (Text)
Now that the flood has passed for more than a month, although the compensation has not yet arrived, everyone has gradually returned to normal, and the Chinese people are always like this, in the face of the disaster, self-rescue and recovery ability is amazing, after all, life still has to live.
"Little one, just welcome me!" Wu Chen returned home and got out of the car, but there was no one at home, but he saw the old turtle lying on the threshold, spreading his limbs to bask in the sun, looking lazy, he was confused, but when he heard the sound, he raised his head and looked at Wu Chen, and then he drooped his face and continued to be confused.
Wu Chen thought it was funny, he really had an uncle! The old turtle has been at home for some days, and gradually adapted to this kind of home life, there are pork or small fish to eat every day, and toys for it to play, and life is more comfortable than people!
After teasing the turtle guy for a while, Wu Chen boiled a large pot of boiling water, put it in a wooden barrel, and soaked himself hard.
A person was sitting in front of the coffee table drinking tea, and was relaxing, when he heard his mother's voice sound. She saw Wu Chen driving back to Gio, thinking who was a guest, and when she entered the house, she found that it was her son, so she asked him strangely how to change the car.
Wu Chen explained slightly, anyway, my mother couldn't tell which one was worth it, Daben or Gio, so she fooled around and passed.
"Morning, didn't you say you wanted to go to your second aunt's house? She called yesterday and asked you to come and sit down! Wu's mother asked Wu Chen a little about the situation in the past few days, and when she heard him say that he was playing in the same class, she didn't care.
"yes, yes. Or the present? Wu Chen then remembered that Da Ya had never forgotten to be a landlord before! This whole thing has been forgotten. He looked at it, in the afternoon, the time was still very wide, and the village where the second aunt's house was located was not far from them, and it would take more than forty minutes to drive. Mom put down her things, didn't say a word, got in the car and left.
Country children, when they were young, their parents didn't give them any pocket money, so if they were greedy, they had to be diligent and run more relatives! Wu Chen also often went to his second aunt's house when he was a child, although he hadn't walked for many years, he still remembered the road.
When they arrived at the entrance of the second aunt's village, Wu Chen was about to drive into the village, but his mother said that the second aunt and they didn't live in the old house now, and moved to the valley they contracted.
Wu Chen bypassed the village, followed the path behind the village, drove to the foot of Erlong Mountain, and sure enough, in the distance, he saw a row of new bungalows, built on a flat land on the hillside. When I came here before, I just built some tents with bamboo here, and looking at this frame, it means to take root.
When I got to a nearby path, I couldn't drive in, so I put the car there, got down and walked in. I saw citrus orchards on both sides, and a small ditch went up the path.
About 50 meters ago, the terrain began to rise, but it was opened into a layer of terraced fields, planted with various fruit trees, only the middle layer was built with houses, and several ponds were dug on both sides, on which were geese strolling around.
Wu Chen walked inside, looked at the cattle running all over the mountain, listened to the barking of dogs, and was envious in his heart, this is the life of a fairy! However, his thoughts were soon shattered by reality.
The second aunt also heard the barking of the dog, went out, stood on the platform and saw them, and shouted to Wu's mother from a distance. When Wu Chen and the others arrived, the second aunt's family came out and waited for them on the platform, full of a large family, in addition to the second aunt and the second aunt, as well as the cousin and his daughter-in-law, and two children.
The cousin just got married two years ago, Wu Chen hadn't even seen his daughter-in-law, but he didn't expect that the children would have two, everyone greeted each other, returned to the middle living room and sat down, and began to make tea and chat.
Wu Chen accompanied the greeting for a while, handed over the cigarette, and casually boasted that the uncle would enjoy the blessings, but he didn't expect the second aunt to have a bitter face when he heard it, and poured a bitter water, they originally contracted here for five years, planting fruits, digging ponds, raising geese and herding cattle, with the two years of eating more cattle, the annual income is very considerable.
It just happened that this year was due, and according to the new policy, it was re-contracted for another 30 years, ready to do a big job, even the new house was built, and the family moved here.
Unexpectedly, some time ago, people came to the door one after another, asking them to sublease this piece of land, and later even the village chief came to the door and persuaded them to sublease it.
The village chief is a cousin, in terms of seniority, he is a generation younger than the second aunt, and he usually walks around a lot, if it wasn't really stressed, he wouldn't have come to open this mouth!
Isn't that! The second aunt blew the village chief away on the spot, but the family was very worried, all their belongings were invested here, a new batch of goose egg incubators were purchased, and some cowboys were bought.
"Who the hell wants to get this land?" Wu Chen frowned when he heard his second aunt vomit bitter water, could there be anyone who fell in love with this place like himself?
"It's the son of Hong Datou!" The cousin said indignantly, this is within the scope of their village, if it weren't for a dragon like Hong Tianxi, who would dare to come here to make trouble?
"Hong Tian..."Wu Chen had heard his mother say before, and he couldn't remember the name much, "Isn't that guy digging his hometown?" ”
"That's right! It's Hong Tianxi's Pu mother!! "After all, my cousin is strong-blooded, and he is not as sad as his second aunt, "I said that I came back to do tourism and look for places everywhere, and I heard that the leaders in the county have come forward!" ”
"Is there really something here that his father buried back then?" Wu Chen remembered the rumor about Hong Tianxi returning to his hometown to dig treasures, which was told to him by his mother.
The second aunt smiled bitterly, where is there any treasure, except for digging out some copper coins, there is nothing. This matter has to be put on hold in previous years, and he has no opinion, but now that he has invested so much, it is really fatal to move away!
"Morning, do you know the leaders of the county?" The second aunt didn't speak all the time, and then interjected and asked. Wu Chen resigned, she heard the boss say it, but in her opinion, Wu Chen was also an official in the province, so he should know some people.
Wu Chen groaned for a while, he was a little guilty, his mother was the boss, he was naturally the boss of this generation, and a bunch of cousins and cousins below, in the eyes of his old family, he was still a little promising, but unfortunately he has been very depressed after graduation, plus he is tranquil by nature, and he is at peace with what he encounters, there is nothing to blame as an individual, but as a family member, he is very irresponsible!
"Well, I'll go back and ask first." The second aunt saw that Wu Chen didn't speak, afraid that he would be embarrassed, but persuaded him with lenient words, Wu Chen knew that these elders had actually always loved him, and his heart was moved. He knew that this matter would not be so simple, but he couldn't let it go, so let's inquire first.
Back at home, Wu Chen called County Magistrate Tu, made an appointment, and visited his office with two bags of tea. These things still have to be talked about in person, and they can't be explained clearly on the phone.
The county magistrate Tu is closing his eyes in the office to recuperate, this period of time can make him tired, the people from all walks of life have come down to investigate and supervise the post-disaster matters, just like a piece of Tang monk meat, everyone has to make a fuss, and he has been with him for more than a month, and then he stopped a little.
Those guys patted their butts and left, leaving this and that instructions, plus other matters that were postponed before, but the county magistrate Tu was depressed, and they all said "the most idle county master", what kind of idle way is this grandma!
Finally took a free time, hid in the office, closed the door, leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes to recuperate, he thought he was still a good official "for the people", in the deputy post for these years, after being transferred here, tried a lot of methods, in addition to introducing enterprises from the triangle area, but also strive to start some livelihood projects.
Don't look at these are easy to say, but in this kind of grassroots place, everyone is used to the rhythm of mixed days, suddenly busy, not to mention efficiency, overtime at night, plus the quality of the people below is really not complimentary, many things have to be done by himself, which makes him angry, and he gets angry at every turn.
He also knew that the gang of directors below was also enough! These grassroots leaders, it's not easy to get up, and there are not a lot of things usually, and now they don't adapt to this rhythm at all, they are very resentful, and there are already some messages that are not conducive to themselves spreading! But there's no way, special times!
