Chapter 45 Lease of Land
After the Lantern Festival, half of this New Year has passed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The snow is slowly melting as winter turns to spring, and farmers are occasionally busy in the countryside.
On the night that Mr. Qu bought the land, the grandparents and grandchildren discussed that it was better to rent the five acres of land to others for planting. After all, Old Man Qu has never farmed in his life, and he has no experience, and Xie Yujiao, a seven or eight-year-old girl, doesn't know how to tend the fields.
So, the grandfather and grandson thought that it would be better to rent it to the villagers for a year first, and then say, the rent collected from five acres of land should be enough for the grandfather and grandson to eat for a year.
The matter of the land has been solved, and now I think that the house should be built as soon as possible.
Although Xie Yujiao is only seven or eight years old, it is not very convenient for grandparents and grandchildren to squeeze into a house all the time, and who knows when there will be a strong wind and rain in this house, it will be blown down.
Therefore, the house will have to be rebuilt sooner or later, so it is better to start earlier, and only with a new home can there be new hope, and life can be lived.
The day after buying the land, a villager came to find out, it was none other than Aunt Niu, who had helped take care of Xie Yujiao.
"Aunt Niu is here, come into the house and sit" Xie Yujiao looked at the person, greeted him crisply, and hurriedly let the person into the yard.
"Hey, Yujiao, sweep the yard, what about your grandfather" Aunt Niu is still the same as Xie Yujiao saw for the first time, clean and neat, listening to her is full of refreshment.
Xie Yujiao guessed that what this aunt Niu was here for, she couldn't think of anything else except land, and she couldn't be the master of renting land, so she had to come back to her grandfather, so she didn't hide it, and directly told the other party's grandfather's whereabouts, saying:
"Grandpa went to the mountains and came back in the afternoon. Aunt Niu is looking for something to do with grandpa, or you will come back later or tomorrow. ”
"Oh, it's nothing, haven't you heard that Uncle Qu bought land, thinking that you grandparents and grandchildren should be too busy with five acres of land, I want to ask Uncle Qu if he has any regulations?" Aunt Niu didn't squirm, and stood in the yard and directly said to Xie Yujiao.
Xie Yujiao thought, this aunt Niu's family is also very decisive, this land was only transferred yesterday, and people came to explore the wind early in the morning, I am afraid that they also want to come to a building near the water to get the moon first.
Xie Yujiao also knew what her grandfather meant, the land rent was rented to anyone, and I am afraid she was also quite willing to rent it to Aunt Niu's family, after all, the relationship between the two families was relatively diligent, so she didn't hide it, and inadvertently said through the air, "Oh, the land, grandpa said that it was rented to someone else,"
When Aunt Niu heard this, her face was immediately happy, and she spoke with a hint of eagerness, and asked, "Really?" Have you said which one to give it to? ”
She thought about it, since the little girl said so, with the two families living so close, in the past two months, the third sister and Yujiao have also moved around diligently, relatively speaking, her family has a greater chance of renting these five acres of land.
Xie Yujiao shook her head and said, "No, didn't this transfer just yesterday,"
"Yujiao, then wait for your grandfather to come back and tell your grandfather, if it is suitable, your Uncle Niu is willing to plant these five acres of land for your family. See if your grandfather agrees? ”
"Okay, why don't my aunt ask Uncle Niu to come over later, and ask grandpa what he means, after all, I'm a child and don't understand very much."
"Okay, then the aunt will tell you Uncle Niu to come over later. Yujiao, you are busy, my aunt will leave first" Aunt Niu got the letter, smiled, and the joy that she couldn't hide went straight to the bottom of her eyes, ready to leave.
Xie Yujiao was not polite, and did not keep Aunt Niu, but only stood at the gate of the courtyard and said, "That aunt walks slowly, I won't send it." “
"Don't send it away, your leg injury is not healed yet, don't be tired anymore"
Aunt Niu stopped Xie Yujiao, who was about to send her out, and walked briskly by herself.
When Mr. Qu came back in the evening, he heard his granddaughter talk about Aunt Niu's visit, and both grandchildren felt that they could rent the land to Aunt Niu's house. The main reason is that the grandparents and grandchildren are not familiar with other people in the village, relatively speaking, Aunt Niu's house is not only close to her home, but also occasionally came to help before, especially the day when Yujiao was rescued, it was dark, and Aunt Niu did not refuse Old Man Qu's request for help, and brought clean clothes over. Based on this point, if Aunt Niu's family wants to rent land, it should be listed as the first choice, of course, provided that Uncle Niu does not give too low the rent when he comes to negotiate later.
When Uncle Niu came over in the evening, the grandparents and grandchildren had just finished dinner, and Xie Yujiao was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Uncle Qu, have you eaten?"
Xie Yujiao saw that the person who came was a swarthy strong man, and she knew by looking at her appearance that it was Niu Sanmei's father Niu Shugen, and she greeted warmly, "Uncle Niu!" ”
"Here are the roots? Eaten? ”
Sure enough, hearing Old Man Qu beckoning to come, Xie Yujiao knew that her judgment was correct, this was the uncle of the Niu family who wanted to rent land and plant.
The appearance of the third sister of the Niu family follows her father, not only with dark skin, thick eyebrows, big eyes, Chinese face, thick lips, and the bridge of the nose is not too straight. Generally speaking, Uncle Niu, as a man, looks okay, but these third sisters are a little miserable, not to mention the softness of women, and their facial features are not very coordinated.
"I've eaten and eaten," Niu Shugen waved his hand, indicating that he had indeed eaten and come, "This is Yujiao, I've heard your aunt talk about you for a long time, but I just didn't have time to come and take a look, it's really a good boy."
"Uncle Niu, drink water!" Xie Yujiao generously brought him a bowl of water, and then took the dishes and chopsticks to wash.
Niu Shugen took the water bowl, took a sip, and turned his head to talk to Old Man Qu.
"Uncle, I thought that you must not be busy buying these lands this time, and I thought that if you want to rent out the land, I think then, you may not know that my family's land, in a good year, the harvest is good, but the family has too many people, every year is tight, especially when the green and yellow are not available, there is a month or two to run out of food, if I can go out to find some subsidies, the family will have to go hungry. I thought that if I could take over your family's land even if it was two or three acres, it would ease the family, and I promised that the rent would definitely not be less for you. We have lived next to each other for decades, and you should know what our family is like, and we will never default on your rent. ”
He stopped talking after saying this, and then looked at the old man, waiting for the old man to speak.
Old man Qu didn't have an appetite for him, and gave him a clear answer, and said affirmatively: "Land, I rent out all five acres, can you take it over?"
How can this not be answered? Niu Shugen nodded hurriedly, "Pick up, pick up, definitely pick up, those people in my family are not busy."
"Since you want to rent land, then you also inquired about the rent" The old man didn't talk nonsense, and directly talked about the rent.
"Yes, I inquired about Xia Shunzi, that is, Wu Shun, his family rents the land of the village chief's family, and the rent is paid according to five or five, and the village chief's family provides ploughing cattle and farm tools. The rest is the responsibility of the Shunzi family, and every time the crops are harvested, the ground is turned over deeply. My uncle's family has never planted land, and there are no farm tools, so our family can find their own way, and after harvesting the crops, we will also turn the ground deep, and the rent will still be paid fifty-five, what do you think? ”
