There are more than four acres of paddy fields in the house, but not all in one place, but one in the east and one in the west.

In order to facilitate management, she had to change fields with people, and it was convenient to manage them by replacing them with one piece.

Lu Xiaoqing took a fancy to the field under the ridge in front of her house.

There were about a dozen acres in this area, and she only needed five of them.

She calculated and calculated, the five acres she fancied belonged to three families, and she had to find someone to change the land.

Two pieces of nearly two acres belong to the third mother's family, use two acres in exchange, and then subsidize 500 yuan a year, for five consecutive years, this year to give two years of money, and find Uncle Zhao to sign a contract as a middleman, this matter will be done quickly.

The third mother originally refused to ask for as much as 500 yuan, insisting that it was only 100, and it was too much to say that it was 100.

Lu Xiaoqing insisted on giving, and said with a smile that it is the same standard for other people's families, if the third wife doesn't accept it, then do other people's families still want to accept it?

The third grandmother accepted it with a reluctant face.

There is also a family that has gone out to work, and originally planned to rent the land to others to plant, so renting to Lu Xiaoqing is the same, don't change the field, just rent.

Although the cost will be higher, Lu Xiaoqing also readily agreed, the same five-year term, and two years of money will be given this year.

There is also one and a half acres that belong to Yang Yantou. This is a stubborn old man in his seventies, with high cheekbones, a thin bronze face, gray hair, and a half-new white sweatshirt, navy blue trousers with the legs rolled up to his knees, and he is busy working all day long, either carrying a hoe or carrying a dustpan up the mountain and down the ground.

At the beginning, Uncle Yang refused, Lu Xiaoqing thought that he was too old to move, and he was very understanding and said that he would rather change, and would never let him suffer.

Who knew that as soon as Uncle Yang heard Lu Xiaoqing say that he rented Tian, his face immediately changed, and he blew his beard and glared at her: "What did you say about this girl!" Rent to you? What else do I plant if I rent it to you? What do you eat without planting? Can you count that little money? In case the flowers are gone, where is the food steady! As the old saying goes, 'don't panic when you have food in your hand', where does the food come from? It's not up to you to grow it! What should I do if I rent it to you? Don't even think about it! Don't say it, my old man is just one acre and a half of land, this is my life, and it is absolutely impossible to rent it. ”

Uncle Yang was so angry that he couldn't help but say that he drove Lu Xiaoqing out.

Mother Lu couldn't help but snort when she heard these words and said, "This old man is such a temper, otherwise he wouldn't have separated from his two sons and had to live by himself." Don't look at his age, that field is more important than life, and it's impossible to let him not plant it! In this way, don't talk about rent, subsidy money or anything, just exchange it with him, exchange it with him for two acres, and he promises to change it. ”

The fields under the kanxia are equal to the village, spring plowing and autumn harvest are very convenient, and their own fields are a little far away from the village, and because of this, even if it is an equal amount of exchange, Lu Xiaoqing also gave money as a subsidy, listening to what her mother said, she was a little hesitant.

Mother Lu sighed: "Our family has no time to plant anymore, and it will be abandoned if it is exchanged for him." Hmph to tell you, he must be willing, don't think that he is too old to have the strength to plant, impossible. In addition to farming and farming, the old man also raised twenty or thirty chickens and two pigs! ”

Lu Xiaoqing was a little surprised: "Really? ”

She couldn't understand it: "Uncle Yang is old, and his two sons are also married, why are you still working so hard?" ”

Mother Lu sighed and sighed with some emotion: "How can there be so many whys, aren't the older generation like this?" Which one do you think is willing to be idle? ”

Lu Xiaoqing was silent, but it was also. She suddenly understood that she euphemistically said that the uncle was old, it was better to stop farming, rent it to himself, why he was so angry.

In the eyes of the older generation of villagers, grain and fields are extremely precious things, their lives, their roots, and the foundation of their survival.

Even if more and more young people gradually realize the cruelty of being in the countryside: what else is there to eat but to eat? Nothing!

But in the eyes of the older generation, nothing is more important, more down-to-earth, and more reassuring than having something to eat.

The difference between the older generation and the new generation in their perception of this matter is an important reason for the current situation in rural areas.

The older generation is still holding on to the candle in the wind, but the new generation is resolutely unwilling to relay and has already rushed to the big city and the modern factory without hesitation.

Lu Xiaoqing is even more determined, she will definitely prove to everyone that the cognition of the two generations is not incompatible, and there will be another way out for the new countryside.

Sure enough, Lu's mother took action and took Lu Xiaoqing to find Uncle Yang again.

As soon as he heard that he would exchange two acres of land for one and a half acres of his own, Uncle Yang agreed without even thinking about it.

It's a little far away or something, Uncle Yang shouldn't be the same thing at all: farming, what are you afraid of if you are far away? Isn't it just a walk? Do you still expect to stay at home and lie down and plant? Isn't it true that people have a pair of feet for walking?

After signing the contract, Uncle Yang glanced at Lu's mother and Lu Xiaoqing, showing a little concern and sympathy: "I heard that you want to plant what chrysanthemum tea?" Don't blame me for not speaking well, I don't think this thing is very reliable! You better think about it again, don't lose money and effort when the time comes, it's not a big loss! It is still the safest to farm, no matter what kind of food you have. ”

Mother Lu is the most unpleasant to hear this now, and now she is more active than Lu Xiaoqing with expectations, even if Uncle Yang is old, Mother Lu's face is still not very good-looking, and she said coldly: "Hey, that's not what I said!" My eldest sister has a number, and my eldest sister has always been reliable! ”

Uncle Yang: "Oh! With a sigh, his expression was disapproving.

Lu Xiaoqing smiled: "Uncle Yang, if I succeed this year, the income from planting chrysanthemum tea is four or five times more than farming, then do you want to consider planting chrysanthemum tea with me next year?" ”

"Impossible!" Uncle Yang glared and waved his hand, not believing that planting a chrysanthemum could have such a high return.

"What if?" Lu Xiaoqing said with a smile. In fact, the income will be higher, but I can't say it now, and everyone will brag about her.

"What if!" Uncle Yang still doesn't believe it.

Lu Xiaoqing didn't force him to have an answer, but said with a smile: "Then let's watch first, if I succeed, I welcome my uncle to grow chrysanthemum tea with me next year." ”

Uncle Yang didn't speak.

The mother and daughter left, but he couldn't help but tangle this question, if it was true, then should he plant chrysanthemums together?

Five-fold gain, it's fake to say that you don't want to be tempted. But once planted, what if the price of chrysanthemums falls next year? What if it's worthless? Isn't that white? Maybe the money from the sale won't even be enough to buy food for a year?

However, that's a five-fold gain, and even if it falls, it won't fall so badly, right?

Alas, but this kind of thing is also difficult to say, who dares to guarantee it? What if? In terms of stability, or is it food stability......

But what if you don't plant your own family, and others plant and make a lot of money......

It's really a special tangle!

Finally got the five acres of land, Lu Xiaoqing and Lu's mother notified the villagers who had agreed before one by one and hired them to help prepare the land.
