Chapter 17: Contracting the Mountain

"Secretary Liu, has the land in the village been redivided?"

Zhuqing found Secretary Liu's house, just now at the door of Qiao's house, he was sneered at by Qiao Laoyou, which attracted the whole village to come around, Qiao Laodemon even fell to the ground regardless of his face and played a scoundrel, even if Zhuqing was hot, it was impossible to really fight with an old demon.

"It's divided, isn't there less and less people in the village who are walking and dying, some of the land is deserted and no one is planting, and there are not many people who are willing to farm. So in order to make rational use of resources, it is divided. Secretary Liu said humbly.

Zhuqing asked, "What about my family's land?" ”

"Your parents are dead, so you can't occupy the land quota anymore, of course, your land is still yours, but the land near the foot of the village belongs to your parents...... It's not that the secretary is ruthless, you also stayed in the village earlier, and you should know that your land was transferred to you after the death of Grandpa Chen. Secretary Liu didn't have much confidence to speak, and he didn't dare to look at Zhuqing.

"What about my family's fields? Everyone in the village has a field, so if it doesn't happen that my field will be gone? "Zhu Qing knew that this secretary was a soft bone when he was a child, although he was a village secretary, he was very afraid of the Qiao family, and now that Qiao Mulin was dancing in the county, he was even more afraid.

Secretary Liu snorted for a while before he said: "At that time, there was no one at your house, and you were not there, we saw that you had been admitted to the university, and it is estimated that you also look down on the one-third of an acre of land at home...... However, if you want to say that you are a college student, why do you think about these pieces of land in the village, the value that these pieces of land can create is far from your education and level...... Xiaozhu, it's not that Uncle maintains Lao Qiao's family, it's because Uncle really can't imagine it, how can you be interested in this one-third of an acre, and you want to say ......"

"It seems that I can't really get the land I want." Zhu Qing thought so in his heart, and said: "Even if the field is gone, the land on the mountain at my house, you won't say it's gone, right?" ”

Secretary Liu was a bitter woman who wanted to persuade Zhuqing to settle down, but when he heard that Zhuqing had changed the topic, he didn't bother to persuade again, so he shook his wit and said: "Yes, this is yes, no one has touched the land on the mountain in your house, if you are willing to plant whatever you want, anyway, the whole mountain is almost deserted, except for the little widow who reclaimed a few acres of land by herself, most of the rest are deserted." ”

"According to what you mean, is it no problem for me to plant the whole mountain?" Zhu Qun said.

Secretary Liu thought to himself that the whole mountain was almost barren, and the ground was overgrown with weeds, even if it was very troublesome to plant, since you were willing to plant, then it was up to you.

Zhu Qing saw that Secretary Liu was silent, and then said: "In this way, I don't want the fields that belong to my family below, please go and sue Lao Qiao's family, but the land on his mountain has to belong to me, otherwise this matter will be lost." So, do you have a pen and paper? I'll draft an agreement, please bring it over and let him sign it, if he doesn't sign it, then the land that belongs to my family will be in the town, and I will take it back. ”

Secretary Liu saw that Zhu Qing's last words were extremely serious, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "Lao Qiao's family should be able to sign, besides, the grass is growing on the mountain, and he will definitely not plant it again." ”

"Then it's settled...... In addition, other people's land on the mountain, I contract it down for transformation, which family has how much land, each mu of land is still contracted according to the contract price stipulated by the state, and you have to tell them, this land is contracted, you must sign a 30-year contract at a time, if you don't want to, it doesn't matter, I don't contract, I don't give them money, but the money has to be paid year by year, I don't have so much money to pay them at one time. Zhuqing already had an idea in his heart.

These lands are now deserted, if you want to re-cultivate, you must renovate in advance, anyway, he still lacks planting experience, and the seeds are not too abundant, just use the current time to renovate the land first, and also contract the land, so as not to have any accidents at the time.

A one-time visa for 30 years is long enough.

"The land on the mountain, are you willing to contract? Also willing to pay rent. Secretary Liu was a little surprised by Zhu Qing's words.

Zhuqing nodded seriously: "I didn't say the wrong thing." ”

"Okay, okay, I think it's okay, those lands are barren, if you keep it and are willing to give money, no one will be stupid." Secretary Liu said with a smile.

Zhu Qing's face was solemn, and he said: "Lao Qiao's family occupies my family's land, so the land belongs to him, and I won't pay a penny, how to deal with this matter, you have to think about it, Lord Secretary." He thought to himself, even if Lao Tzu throws the money to beat the dog, he will definitely not give it to the Qiao family.

- Old Demon Qiao sneered at him in front of the whole village just now, Zhuqing will definitely not be treated as a fool.

"This, this, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Secretary Liu said with a worried brow.

Zhu Qing's face was slightly silent: "The secretary's land also has several acres on it, right?" ”

"Xiaozhu, let's be kind, you said you can't meet the secretary." Secretary Liu put on a smiling face.

Zhu Qing smiled and said, "How can it be, the secretary is the adult in the village, and he is the biggest official in our village, so the secretary will have a way to solve these trivial matters." ”

"Don't say that, I'm the secretary of a village, mung beans and sesame seeds are not counted, at most they belong to the little earthworms in the rice field, I am really not a big official, if I am a big official, I will not be afraid of the Qiao family." Secretary Liu frowned bitterly, as if he felt very bitter.

"You're not afraid of the Qiao family, you are raising the Qiao family, who doesn't know that most of your secretary's name is not the Qiao family nodding behind your back, if the Qiao family doesn't let you be the secretary, you really can't be a secretary, you haven't been able to scrape the people's fat and people's ointment over the years, but you know that you are low-key, and your wealth is not exposed." Zhu Qing still has some understanding of this Secretary Liu, and said with a smile: "The secretary is a smart person and will think of a way." ”

"In this way, I will go to Qiao's house to do it for you in a while, this shouldn't be a difficult thing, the next thing, if you don't let Qiao's family make trouble, you have to think about it, let me think about it, anyway, aren't you in a hurry now?" Secretary Liu said.

"The land that has been wasted for a few years can not be in a hurry, I think there are two pieces of land near my old house that seem to be wasted, and I have to use those two pieces of land as much as possible, so the other wasteland can not be in a hurry, but those two pieces of land, you have to think of a way first." Zhuqing said.

Secretary Liu nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll figure out a way in a while." ”

"Okay, that's it, I've got to go home and cook." Zhuqing got up and prepared to leave.

Secretary Liu said with a smile: "Qing'er, otherwise, I will have dinner at the secretary's house today, and the secretary will have a few sips with you, I haven't seen you for many years, you studied in college, and it is different to see it." ”

"The secretary still has to find a way to deal with the Qiao family, I won't eat at your house." Zhu Qing didn't think about what to do with Pan, Secretary Liu still relied on the Qiao family in the end, it would only be because his own interests were involved, so he agreed to come down, if Zhu Qing really didn't rent his land, he would definitely make a stumbling block for Zhu Qing.

Secretary Liu got up and sent Zhuqing outside the house.

When Zhu Qun turned to leave, he remembered something and said, "Secretary, there is no electricity on my house, you have to find a way to solve this matter for me." ”

"I'm going to the power supply station for this matter, but you just came back, and I don't know, so the secretary will take the time to help you run." Secretary Liu readily agreed.

Zhuqing thanked him and turned to leave.

"If you want to not cause trouble in the future, you must have a continuous guarantee, and you must have an agreement to rely on. With the agreement, signed, I also paid, so it is a voucher, no one cares about it, if you are greedy for a little bit of small profits, to the scale of seed planting in the future, this will be a great danger, so a one-time signing for 30 years, you can completely solve this dilemma. ”

The mountain road is dark, but fortunately, there is moonlight illuminating, but you can barely see the road, only Zhuqing's figure fell in the weeds on the side of the road, which is somewhat lonely. After returning home, Zhuqing began to pack up his things, tonight's dinner has not yet landed, and he stayed at Secretary Liu's house for a while just now, and the time is almost past 8 o'clock.

Zhuqing simply boiled the boiling water with a gas canister and then took out the instant noodles.

The taste of instant noodles was always tempting, and Zhu Qing remembered that as long as one person in the dormitory ate instant noodles, the other three would take out the box and come over, even if they couldn't eat much, they would pour some soup from the bowl to satisfy their hunger.

But now, he sat quietly alone in front of the small dilapidated house shrouded in the waning moon halfway up the mountainside, eating instant noodles.

It was him, but soon there was one more personβ€”Zhuqing holding instant noodles, staring at the face of a young woman barely exposed by a kerosene lamp.
