Chapter 34: Into the Illusion (15)
When Li Shankui returned home, Li Yi had just sent Dongzi and them away.
Seeing the two bottles of fine sorghum wine on the counter, Li Shankui frowned and asked, "You didn't go to your Uncle Feng today?" ”
"Go, the land is also approved!" Li Yi replied.
"Then you didn't bring anyone wine?"
"I sent it, but I didn't ask for it, and I said..."
"What else are you talking about?"
"Uncle Feng also said that he was afraid that you would break his legs!"
"You kid can be nonsense, why do I want to make trouble with others when people grant you land, just because of two bottles of wine?" Li Shankui glanced at his son and said.
"Wine is a trivial matter, mainly because Uncle Feng gave me the land in the east of the village!"
"Is there still a homestead in the east of the village, why don't I know?" Li Shankui said suspiciously.
"Yes, it's the black stone field!"
Hearing Li Yi's words, Li Shankui's smoking action suddenly stopped, and then said in a deep voice: "What kind of land are you talking about that can't be planted with anything?" ”
"Well, that's the land!"
"How can I ask for that piece of land, I can't plant anything in front of the back house and behind the house, no, I'll go to him, isn't this bullying?"
Seeing that the grumpy father was about to go berserk again, Li Yi immediately stepped forward to stop him and said, "Dad... Father... Dissipate your anger, don't blame Uncle Feng for this! ”
"He's the branch secretary, don't blame him?"
"Blame me, I strongly asked Uncle Feng to grant me that piece of land!" Li Yi said truthfully.
"You, still strongly demanding?" Li Shankui pointed at Li Yi and said in disbelief.
"Yes, I strongly asked Uncle Feng to grant me that piece of land, and I can't do it if I don't approve it!"
"I... You scumbag, what do you want to do in that barren land..."
Seeing that Daddy's temper came up again, Li Yi hurriedly said, "Dad... My dear father, can you listen to me, I have a reason for doing this! ”
"There's a reason for fart, Lao Tzu sees that you are a lard blindfolded heart..."
At this time, Li Na happened to come back from the Zhiqing Point, and heard her father's yelling and scolding from a distance, and immediately came in to ask what happened!
Although Li Shankui didn't have a good temper, he was still very good to the third daughter, and immediately said: "Third son, this loser actually asked your Uncle Feng for the black stone land in the east of the village as a homestead, isn't this nonsense!"
She glanced at Li Yi and couldn't help frowning.
Everyone in the village knew the situation of the black stone field, and Li Na didn't believe that her little brother didn't know.
What's more, with the relationship between Uncle Feng and his father, even if the younger brother doesn't know, he will explain it.
"Xiao Yi, tell the third sister, what do you think?"
Seeing the third sister by his side, Li Yi knew that his father's temper should be able to control a little, and he also had the opportunity to quibble... Explain!
"Dad, I know the situation in the black stone land, except that I can't grow things, I don't have to worry about anything else!" Li Yi said.
"It's annoying enough that you can't grow something, what else do you want?" Li Shankui said.
"Dad, do you know how much land Uncle Feng granted me?"
"How old?"
"Three acres of land!"
Li Shankui glanced at him dissatisfied, and then said: "It's not small, but you can't even grow a potato, no matter how big it is, what's the use!" ”
"It's so useful!"
Then Li Yi continued: "Dad, I begged Uncle Feng to grant me that piece of land, mainly because that piece of land is big enough, and I plan to build a farm there in the future, and I can't do it if there is no place!" ”
"Raise... Farm, what do you want to raise? ”
Li Shankui was taken aback by his son's whimsical ideas, although he didn't care much about the members' own livestock breeding in recent years, unlike in previous years, a family was only allowed to raise three chickens, pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, mules, and donkeys.
But it was just a blind eye, and it didn't really let go of the restrictions.
Secretly raising some chickens and raising a mouthful of pigs, it is already terrifying, and the son still wants to make a big show of the whole farm, isn't this obviously to catch pigtails for people!
"Dad, I know you're always worried about something, but now the policy has changed!"
Then Li Yi said again: "Now that Anhui Province has been implementing the contract production to households for more than two years, the household contract responsibility system has been implemented as a pilot in some provinces, and it depends on us whether we can eat enough at that time!" ”
"Then you should have some good land, and you can get more food when the time comes!" Li Shankui said.
"Dad, you can't starve to death if you dig and eat from the ground, but you can't make a fortune! With your son's earning power, do you still think I will farm for food rations in the future? ”
Hearing his son's words, Li Shankui was silent.
If Li Yi had said this to him before, he would definitely have the soles of his shoes and beat him hard.
But since the last time he and Li Na helped out of the stall, Li Shankui was shocked.
In less than half a day, his son sold mountain goods and took out to set up a stall to sell cool skin, and he earned half a year's salary as a regular worker.
If it were replaced by these old farmers who dug the second ridge, they might not be able to earn so much money in two years.
So if Li Yi said that he would not farm for rations in the future, Li Shankui believed it.
Seeing that my father seemed to have a tendency to be persuaded by himself, Li Yi continued: "Dad, I want that black stone land because I want to build a big house, and when the policy allows it in the future, I will build a farm there, which is to prepare for future planning, not a whim!" ”
Li Na looked at Li Yi, and then said, "Can dry farms make money?" ”
"Yes!"
Li Yi said it categorically, but he knew that with the recognition of the private economy, the entire country's economy will be on the fast track.
In just a few decades, the economic level of the entire country will change from looking up to the West to looking down on the world.
In such an environment, the demand for meat will explode, and in the coming decades, the farming industry will be profitable for most of the time.
"If that's the case, I agree with Xiao Yi's decision!" Li Na said.
Li Shankui was a little confused, did I ask your opinion, what's the use of your approval!
But he also had to think seriously about what his son just said, if his son was a farmer with peace of mind, it would be good to have some fertile land that could be cultivated.
However, his son's ambition is obviously not to be an honest and bitter farmer, so it is useless for him to come to the black soil of the Northeast!
In this way, the black stone land is more useful to him!
Thinking of this, Li Shankui could only sigh and said: "Lao Tzu has already said it, I hope you kid will not regret it in the future!" ”
"No regrets, no regrets!" Li Yi said with a smile.
"Well, now that you've decided, when are you going to start construction!" Li Shankui asked again.
Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Dad, the sooner the better!" After all, what we want to build is soft on the inside and the outside (adobe on the inside, bread bricks on the outside), and the adobe needs to be removed in advance, and it can be used for at least a week from taking off to drying! ”
"In addition to preparing other materials, I have to hire a carpenter and bricklayer master, so I don't have to rush when it's late!"
Li Shankui nodded and said: "Then I'll go find someone tomorrow, it just so happens that the farm work is not too busy during this time, and it should be easier to hire people!" ”
"Well, I'll leave this matter to Dad!"
Then Li Yi handed over all the more than 600 yuan he had accumulated during this period to Li Shankui and asked him to use it to build a house.
And Li Shankui was not polite, and directly put the money away!
