Chapter 8 Contracting Fields

Xiangcheng can leave this home, but she can't rest assured that Jiang Jie is not at ease. Wang Biao owes a lot of gambling debts outside, and if Shen Xiangcheng leaves it alone, she can imagine Jiang Jie's situation at home.

has persuaded his mother to leave this home more than once to find new happiness, but there is a little Wang Peng's mother who can't give up.

30,000 yuan, you have to earn 30,000 yuan as soon as possible!

Early the next morning, Shen Xiangcheng went out to look for land.

The income from growing grain is low, most of the land in Pipa Town is barren, and the young and middle-aged people in the countryside go out to work to find a way to survive, leaving behind either the old, weak, sick and disabled or the likes and wil, Wang Biao obviously belongs to the second category.

Although the land is barren, the farmers are reluctant to sublease the land to others, because the land is kept in their own hands, and the state will give a grain subsidy of 300 yuan per mu every year. People who have a few acres of land in their hands, even if they don't do anything a year, will have an income of more than 1,000 yuan, and it is enough to have a happy New Year.

Shen Xiangcheng has one acre of land in his family, and at least two acres of land are needed to completely sow the seeds of Chinese cabbage.

The first to visit Uncle Liu Xiang's house, Uncle Xiang was Jiang Jie's distant relative, Xiangcheng had no money to study, Uncle Xiang took out the small balance of the family without saying a word, and he didn't take the initiative to ask Jiang Jie for money after four years.

Uncle Xiang is kind and easy to talk, he is old, the children are working outside, and they have filial piety, and they will send living expenses every month, so although they are also panicked in the field, life is not tight.

"Orange is here?" Uncle Xiang was feeding the chickens in the yard, and when he saw a guest, he quickly put down his work and greeted him.

Uncle Xiang's house is a rare two-story small western-style building in the township, and the second floor is prepared for the children to go home for the New Year's holidays, and Uncle Xiang and his family live downstairs.

Uncle Xiang wiped his hands on the gray old shirt and was about to pour water for Xiangcheng, but Xiangcheng hurriedly stopped: "Uncle Xiang, don't be so polite." I'm here today to thank you for sponsoring my schooling, and I'm embarrassed that the money has been delayed for three or four years. ”

Uncle Xiang waved his hand and said, "Where is this, it is difficult to find a college student in the township, and it is appropriate to do your part." It's you, a little girl, who paid me back an extra 1,000, and your aunt still thinks I've done something bad, I have to return the money to you. ”

"Oh, this is what I should honor you, so you can take it." Knowing the grace, Shen Xiangcheng said that he would not get the money back.

In the chat with Uncle Xiang, Xiangcheng knew that Uncle Xiang still had two acres of land at home, and he would grow some grain and rape a few years ago. In recent years, the conditions of the children have improved, and the old couple no longer go to the field to farm under the persuasion of their children, so the two acres of land are currently barren, but some vegetables are planted on the ridges.

Xiangcheng didn't go around the bend anymore, and said: "Uncle Xiang, I want to rent your two acres of land, the current market price per mu is 500 per year, and I will give you 1,000 yuan per mu per year." ”

The most abundant land in the countryside is now, and no one cares about it. Four or five years ago, there were still people renting land to plant trees, but in recent years, the greening market has been sluggish, and the owners of the rented land have run out, who still cares about a few acres of wasteland.

Uncle Xiang was puzzled, what a little girl who had just graduated from college was doing renting land, "Xiangcheng, the current farmland is within the red line of the country, and there are satellites in the sky every day to take pictures, but it can't be used to build a factory." "The only thing Uncle Xiang can think of is that Xiangcheng wants to use land to build a factory.

"Don't worry, Uncle Xiang, I rent your land for planting, not for building a factory."

Uncle Xiang couldn't figure it out even more, can a delicate college student come down to farm with peace of mind? Xiangcheng doesn't look like it's rented for Jiang Jie and Wang Biao. Jiang Jie is a woman, she is not in good health and can't do farm work, not to mention Wang Biao, who is lazy and lazy, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and it is impossible to do farm work.

Xiangcheng generously told Uncle Xiang about his plan to grow Chinese cabbage, and Uncle Xiang felt that it was a fantasy.

It is not uncommon to grow Chinese cabbage in the township, but farmers can use it for their own consumption or sell it as vegetables in the city. One kind of orange is to plant two or three acres, isn't this a joke.

"It's not okay, I can't hurt you." Uncle Xiang shook his head, "Now is indeed the time to grow Chinese cabbage, but when your cabbage matures in two months, can you sell such a large amount?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this all the time, just sit at home and collect money in peace." With a grin, Orange took out the completed contract from her bag, which clearly stated the duration and purpose of the lease.

"Uncle Xiang, just sign your name and time here." Xiangcheng respectfully handed the pen to Uncle Xiang.

"Little girl, let you mess around, but Uncle Xiang won't charge you this money. Anyway, the ground is empty and empty, so you can take it and plant it. "Uncle Xiang really can't understand what Xiangcheng's idea is, how can a good college student think of farming. This cute little girl of his, full of affection, can only help her like this.

Uncle Xiang insisted on refusing to accept the money, and Xiangcheng couldn't ask Uncle Xiang to sign again.

"That's okay, Uncle Xiang, when the cabbage is ripe, I'll bring you a few to taste, I guarantee you, I've never eaten such a delicious cabbage."

After the field was implemented, just as Xiangcheng was about to leave with joy, Aunt Liu and Aunt Li from the neighborhood came. "Xiangcheng is here, why do you leave in a hurry, let's eat here at noon." Aunt Liu is still as polite as ever.

Uncle Xiang quipped: "Hahaha, Xiangcheng came to our house to borrow land and farm." He told his wife Aunt Liu again.

Aunt Liu had no objections, but Aunt Li on the side waved her hand again and again as if she had eaten thunder: "Old Liu, you can't do it, you can't do it!" ”

Xiangcheng didn't understand why Aunt Li reacted so much, and explained: "I drew up a contract and agreed to pay the rent of the leased land every year, and Uncle Liu didn't charge me rent. ”

Aunt Li glanced at Aunt Liu, and then pretended to say, "I'll go to the toilet." ”

Aunt Liu was also a little embarrassed to follow Aunt Li into the house.

Aunt Li pulled Aunt Liu down in the corner and whispered, "Is your old Liu crazy?" How can you rent the land to outsiders! ”

Aunt Li's words made Aunt Liu inexplicable, and she asked in a low voice: "What's wrong, this field is also barren, I asked the old man to collect the money." ”

"Hey! No way, no way! Aunt Li kept waving her hand and was very anxious, "Let me tell you, even if you keep this field, even if it is deserted, the state will give you a subsidy of 300 yuan every year." ”

Aunt Liu retorted: "The orange to Lao Liu is one mu and one thousand yuan a year. ”

"Money is second!" Aunt Li looked up at the window, Xiangcheng didn't follow, and her voice was a little lower, "I'll tell you, a few years ago, my family rented more than three acres of land to other places for greening, and after three years, the greenery left. ”

"Really?" Aunt Li's words obviously scared Aunt Liu.

Aunt Li was very anxious and said, "It's true, don't you see it when you walk over there every day?" The three acres of land next to the mill are my family's! ”
