Chapter 19: Borrowing Land
"You want to farm?" Wang Xiaoshan was a little surprised.
She now has so much silver on her, she can take this silver to the city to make a good job, if nothing else, she can change into neat clothes and enter a big family as a maid, and she doesn't need to farm in the countryside at all.
Even if she gets married in the future, the identity of a maid from a big family is better than farming.
He told Cheng Yangyang his idea, and also persuaded her not to farm, and when he heard him say that he wanted her to go to the city to be a maid, Cheng Yangyang wanted to kill him.
"I'm not going to be a maid for others, you just say whether you borrow the land or not!"
To be honest, Wang Xiaoshan was a little hesitant, if it was a few days ago, he would have borrowed this land without saying a word, because he couldn't live a few days ago now, but now......
"Don't worry, I won't lend your land for nothing, in addition to helping you pay grain taxes, I will also give you 200 catties of grain per mu of land, how about it?"
Cheng Yangyang thought that he was worried that he would have no food to eat if she planted the land, so he told him the conditions. One crop of rice is 200 catties, two crops a year, and he can borrow a few acres of land from her to let him eat every day.
"Two hundred catties?" Wang Xiaoshan's eyes widened, "What are you talking about, dumb girl! Our family can't receive 300 catties of grain every year on one mu of land, and half of the grain is left after handing over it, why do you still have 200 catties to give to me?"
"You don't care about this, I have my own way", Cheng Yangyang is very confident, the seeds with the highest yield developed by the company in her space, she doesn't believe that she can't grow seven or eight hundred catties per mu here?
"In addition to your family's land, you can help me think about it, which are the lonely old people in the village, or the family has few people and can't plant the land, I want to rent", if you want to plant, you have to plant a big one, and it is not her style to make a small fuss.
After all, she has seen millions of acres of rice fields before, and it is also those millions of acres of rice fields that it is difficult for her to work overtime to do data, and it is difficult to be impressed.
"However, now that there is still more than half a year before the spring, I see, you better go to the city to find a good job", Wang Xiaoshan reminded her again, hoping that she would not be willful.
"Who said I have to wait until the beginning of spring to plant the land, I will plant tomorrow", Cheng Yangyang put down the bowl in his hand and handed him the clothes behind him, which were his mother's clothes that she borrowed from him.
Wang Xiaoshan took the clothes and didn't say anything, because he saw that she was wearing new clothes.
"If you don't know how to farm, just listen to me, who is only farming now."
"I said you don't care about it, tomorrow you take me to your field to see, I'll know the way", after speaking, she got up and packed up the dishes and chopsticks to go home.
"That's right, this is for you", she almost forgot, she took out two medicine bottles from her arms and gave them to him, "This is the medicine for your injuries, this is applied externally, this is taken orally, and eaten after meals".
"This ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm leaving", Cheng Yangyang didn't want to listen to him nag anymore, so he gave him the medicine and left.
Early the next morning, Cheng Yangyang really came to Wang Xiaoshan to recognize the land, dragged his two waste legs and walked in the field, and the two orphans in the village went out together, which attracted the attention of many people.
For Cheng Yangyang, after everyone knew that she was rich, they didn't dare to say anything about her, but for Wang Xiaoshan, they couldn't help but ridicule.
"Yo, isn't this a small mountain, when did I have a good relationship with the dumb girl, and I went out together."
Wang Xiaoshan was made fun of his relationship with Cheng Yangyang by them openly and secretly, and he suddenly blushed when he had a ghost in his heart, bowed his head and didn't dare to respond, only hoping that Cheng Yangyang would be able to go home quickly after seeing the ground.
But Cheng Yangyang looked at it very slowly, she looked at the acres of land where the grass grew more than rice, and frowned, "How long has your land not been cared for?"
"This ......"
"Wang Dashan and his mother-in-law haven't come to see since they died, this land, I'm afraid I won't be able to harvest grain this year", the villagers next to him who put water in the field robbed Wang Xiaoshan's words.
"Oh......" Cheng Yangyang looked at it, this piece of land is more convenient to divert water than the few pieces of land just now, since you can't harvest grain, then simply turn it over, "Then this land, I'll turn it over in the afternoon!"
After looking at the land of Wang Xiaoshan's house, Cheng Yangyang continued to walk in the fields, those who had men in the family, the grain in the fields grew relatively well, and they could also be seen on the ridges.
Those who don't have much work at home either have half of the field planted, or half rice and half grass in the field, growing crosswise, and it's not to blame them for being lazy, but the land is too big and it's normal to not take care of it.
Just like the third grandmother who cried at the entrance of the village yesterday, there were originally five people in the family and there were fifteen acres of land, but now she is the only one left, and fifteen acres can be planted with her body and bones to plant two acres of land.
So, since she can't plant it, then Cheng Yangyang will plant it!
She walked around the field twice, and saw the third grandmother sitting in front of a field, looking at the rice in front of her with a sad face, sad and helpless.
"Third grandmother", Cheng Yangyang generously sat beside her and greeted her with a smile.
But the person known as the third grandmother turned slightly sideways when he saw her, ignoring Cheng Yangyang at all, she was not angry that Cheng Yangyang didn't give them money, she was just dissatisfied with the bowl of rice porridge she poured yesterday.
"Third grandma, what happened yesterday was that I did something wrong, I apologize to you", Cheng Yangyang admitted his mistake to her very sincerely, hoping to get her forgiveness.
Cheng Yangyang gave people the impression that she was powerful yesterday, Chen Sanniang thought that she came over like those rich people, and she would be struggling with a little money, but she didn't expect that she was apologizing to her!
"Dumb girl, you!" Chen Sanniang was surprised, but she didn't know what to say, thinking of yesterday's incident, she just sighed heavily, "How can you spoil food!"
"Third grandma, I was impulsive about yesterday, so I came to you today to tell you about food", Chen Sanniang's situation Wang Xiaoshan probably told her.
Her family is the hardest life in the village, almost seventy years old, there is no family around, often a person is lying on her back, walking slowly in the village with a wooden stick, leaving early and returning late, everyone can't bear it, but no one can help.
The food is the same as everyone else, rough noodles and wild vegetables, and other people can occasionally eat a meal of meat during the New Year's Festival, but these three grandmothers are about to lose their teeth, I'm afraid they can't remember what the meat tastes like.
"Third grandmother, you also know, I am a person from another village who has been picked up, there is no field and no land in Wangjia Village, and now I want to farm, I don't know if you can rent me the land that you don't plant at home, and I will give you 200 catties of grain per mu of land."
"Two hundred pounds!"
This number is really scary, another person who doesn't believe her words.
