Chapter 3 Wasteland

Meng Zhen rushed to the village committee, the door of the village chief's office was open, she knocked a few times and pushed the door open. Village Chief Meng was on the phone, and when he saw her by the door, he nodded and let her in.

"Okay, Liu Zhishu, let's make up our minds, don't worry, I will definitely arrange the teacher." Yes, yes, education is a century-old plan......"

Hanging up the phone, Meng Fanhao sighed lightly and turned his head to look at Meng Zhen: "What's wrong?" Everything is arranged. ”

"Well, it's almost, the village chief, I have something I want to discuss with you" Meng Zhen sat on the sofa in the office and said to the village chief: "I just went to see the wheat field again, and found that there is still a large piece of wasteland between my wheat field and the mountain roots, so I plan to contract it, I don't know if it will work!" ”

"Oh, that piece of land, it's no problem to contract, it's deserted now anyway," Village Chief Meng lit a cigarette and took two puffs, "However, there is a situation I have to make clear to you, this land is a famous strange land in our village." ”

"Strange land?!"

"Yes, it's about eight minutes in size, and it was supposed to be a pond. But more than 20 years ago, there was a great drought here, and this pond dried up and became a big pit. Later, the village filled in the pit and reclaimed it into cultivated land, which was contracted to the villagers along with the surrounding land. As a result, the seeds were planted at the same time, and the seedlings appeared in other places, but there was still no movement here. I asked the agricultural staff in the district to come and see, and they said that the land was too dry, and they should water it frequently and fertilize it frequently. The villagers did the same, but the crops still did not grow. When I opened it up, I found that the seeds were either dead or spoiled. It's really evil, and a good piece of land is just like that. If you want to contract more land, there are others in our village, and this wasteland is still forgotten. I'm going to give you this land, and the village has a profit, but I have to let the people of Zhuangzi poke my backbone, and the villagers are not allowed to scold me behind my back. ”

If Meng Zhen took this land, it would really solve a problem left over from history, but he would definitely be scolded for bullying the newcomer. Even Uncle Meng is not easy to explain, although he is leaving, but his company is still in the city. Knowing that their relatives were being bullied in the village, their elementary school laboratory was counting on the funding of the Meng Furniture Company.

"Oh, that's right," Meng Zhen thought for a while, and the scene of the lotus pond appeared in her mind again, so she made up her mind: "Village chief, it doesn't matter, my original plan was to contract it to dig a pond, bring water to it, plant some lotus flowers, and raise some fish, not for farming." You see, since it is a wasteland, how much does it cost to contract? ”

"Well, well, since you've planned everything, then I'm relieved. The ordinary cultivated land in our village is 800 yuan a year per mu. Although this land is wasteland, there are regulations in the village, and I can't give you too low a calculation. In the past, the villagers were contracted at 600 yuan a year, and if you contracted, it would be 600 yuan a year. This piece of land is only eight points, and it happens to be connected to a piece of sloping land, and I will contract it to you together, the area adds up to one and a half acres, and the contract period is at least 30 years, so "Meng Fanhao took a calculator, "If you contract for 30 years, it will be a total of 27,000 yuan." ”

"Okay, let's do it for 30 years. I'll come back tomorrow, let's go through the formalities then, okay?! Meng Zhen calculated in his heart, just right, dig the wasteland into a pond, plant some fruit trees on the slope and build a small cabin. The price is not expensive, she can accept it.

"Okay, tomorrow you bring the money, come to me and sign the contract. Oh, there's something I'd like to discuss with you too. ”

Meng Zhen was about to say goodbye, Meng Fanhao pressed the burned cigarette butt into the ashtray, and then said: "That's right, there are three villages near our Jade Mountain, our Zhoujiazhuang, as well as Liujiaji in the west and Song Village in the south of the mountain. The three of us were close to each other and built a primary school together. However, because of the poor conditions, the quality of teachers and teaching has not been improved. Many parents in the village have sent their children to school in the city, but the fees for borrowing and choosing schools are extremely expensive. So since last year, we have decided to run our own elementary school. Three villages raised funds to build new schools, and this year I also begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother to invite five high-achieving students from the Normal University. As a result, it has not been a month yet, and two teachers are in poor condition, and the place is remote and has left. There are three more now, and we have to find a way to keep them anyway! ”

"Oh! Yes! "What does this have to do with me, Meng Zhen didn't think so, but he still nodded in agreement.

"I discussed with Liu Jiaji's branch secretary Liu and decided to improve the teacher's treatment on the one hand, and improve the teacher's accommodation on the other. There are no dormitories for teachers in the school, and it is too late to build a house now, so I plan to let the teachers live in the villagers' homes. But now everyone's house is not very vacant, I think several are not suitable, choose to choose or your house is still vacant. Do you see if you can let two female teachers live in your house first, it just so happens that you also live alone, and two more people are also lively, isn't it? We're both young people, and I've heard that you're also a college student, so you get along with each other. ”

For the teacher's residence, Meng Fanhao was annoyed for noon, and it happened that Meng Zhen came over, and his eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw her. He made his thoughts clear, and looked at Meng Zhen's hesitation. Then he continued: "Of course, this is not a hard and fast rule, it is up to the individual's own volition. However, Meng Zhen, you are also Zhoujiazhuang's own family now, and you have to actively participate in the affairs of the village, right? Besides, the teacher doesn't live in your house for nothing, we have discussed it, arrange a teacher's accommodation, the village committee subsidizes 200 yuan a month, and two teachers are 400. It's not a lot of money, but it's an income. What are you pondering? ”

"Well, it's okay to live in, but my house hasn't been built yet?"

Meng Zhen saw that the village chief had said that it would not be good if he refused again. Anyway, there are spare rooms, and she can't live alone. Besides, these two people don't have to stay for a long time. Isn't it already two gone, and she is not optimistic about the rest of the people. After all, the little girl now runs to such a small mountain village, which is far away from the bustling city and has no entertainment.

"Don't worry, these two teachers are now living in the school office for the time being, and they can make do for a few days. You can get this house ready by the end of the month, and you can just move in together. ”

"Okay, when I get the house, I'll prepare the room where the teacher lives together!"

The matter of the wasteland was decided in this way, and Meng Zhen said goodbye to the village chief and prepared to return to the city, and now he had a lot of things to deal with. Before leaving, she went into the manor again to take a look, En, the seeds have not yet germinated, but the vegetable seedlings moved in from the outside seem to have adapted to the new environment, and at first she was worried that these seedlings would not adapt and would die.

When I came out of the manor and put the yard in order, two and a half rows of vegetables that were originally four rows were moved into the manor, and now there are still one and a half rows of listless ones left. As if she hadn't watered yet, she took out the hose from the edge of the pool, connected it to the well and began to water the ground. After pouring the ground, she closed the door, said hello to Aunt Meng in the backyard and rushed back to the city.

Without saying anything all the way, she returned to the rented house and took a shower first. There were people on the bus who kept watching her, and at first she didn't know what was going on, but later she found out that she was busy farming and watering, and her jeans were stained with a lot of mud. The face is also gray and abrupt, washed by sweat, this look is enough to "attract" people.

After taking a shower, she put the bracelet with her, and fell on the bed on all fours without drying her hair. Tired to death, farming is by no means an easy thing, in QQ farm, you can plant with a click of the mouse, but in reality it requires real work. She was so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers.

The seeds are all planted, I wonder if the vegetables in the manor can grow normally, will strange things grow? Thinking about the manor, Meng Zhen found that he was no longer in bed, and came into the manor again. Why, this manor is not attached to the yard? Or did you follow her? Meng Zhen was confused again, wasn't it because of this mysterious gift that he got because of that courtyard, or because of something else? She seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked at the jade bracelet on her hand, huh? The red mist is gone? The jade bracelet returned to its emerald green appearance, but there was a faint red line inside the jade.

She thought about coming out, going back to the bedroom, and looking at the bracelet again, the red mist was still around?!

Go in, the red mist disappears, and when you come out again, the red mist appears. Haha, I see, it turned out to be you, Meng Zhen smirked back on the bed, took off the bracelet, and played with it in his hand, I didn't know you still had this magical function after wearing it for so long. Since she is following her, even if she can't grow something, it doesn't matter, she has a hidden manor, a real private territory. Hehe, what important things can be put in, and in case of any accidents, you can hide inside!
