On Monday of the third week of December, Li Xin told the section chief that Chen Xiangxiang had agreed to join the National Security Bureau, and the section chief was very happy, praised Li Xin, and asked him to bring Chen Xiangxiang to the bureau as soon as possible to go through the entry procedures.

The section chief told Li Xin that he had found a suitable piece of land, the place was at the junction of the suburbs, the transportation was very convenient, it was Guoan's own yard with 10 acres of land, there were six bungalows in it, water and electricity facilities were complete, and the conditions should be good. After Li Xin called Chen Xiangxiang about the situation in this courtyard, Chen Xiangxiang was very excited, and immediately told Kong Xiuying to let Li Xin drive to pick them up to see the venue.

This yard is on the outskirts of the city, facing the road, there is a 20 meters wide and 30 meters deep on the side of the road, and then inside, it is an 80 meters wide and 80 meters deep open field, this open field is weeds except for a few big trees scattered around, it seems very barren, but it is a good place for sheep grazing. There are several other yards on both sides of this yard that are also in business, and they should all be 30 meters deep, and the 80-meter-wide open space behind their yard is the back wall of the other yards.

The gate of the courtyard is facing west, and after entering the courtyard from the gate, there is a 6-room bungalow along the north wall, and the house looks like a 7 percent new. The first room on the west side is currently a guard room and is occupied, and the first room on the east side is a separate men's and women's toilet, both of which are flush toilets. Next to the toilet is a kitchen where you can cook your own fire. The other three rooms are vacant, and all six of them are 3.3 x 5 square meters of rooms, and there is a long washbasin with two taps in front of the bungalow.

Kong Xiuying and Chen Xiangxiang are quite satisfied with the environment of this courtyard.

According to the landlord Xiang Kong Xiuying and Chen Xiangxiang, his yard was rented to an agricultural machinery company in the past, but in the past two years, due to the recession of the industry, they have quit. The landlord asked Kong Xiuying what she was going to rent this yard for, Kong Xiuying said that she was going to raise some sheep in the yard, and the landlord casually praised the idea after hearing it.

Kong Xiuying asked the landlord: "I don't know what this rent is talking about?" The owner said: "Since it was introduced by a friend, I don't want it, this yard with a house is rented for 200,000 yuan a year, and the water and electricity bills are at your own expense." Chen Xiangxiang said: "The price is too high. Kong Xiuying also said: "Yes, your yard is really good, but the price is a bit high." The owner said: "I have such a good yard, this price is really not expensive, how much are you going to pay?" Chen Xiangxiang said: "100,000 a year, we are ready to rent it for a long time." The owner's expression looked very embarrassed, and he was about to say something, Kong Xiuying said: "150,000, let it go." The landlord said: "Okay, I won't say much about the introduction of a friend, but this rent can only be the price of the two years temporarily, if the price rises in the future, we will have to discuss the adjustment." Kong Xiuying and Chen Xiangxiang both said, "Okay." ”

The owner of the house said: "I have to discuss with you, I, the old man who guards the yard, has been working here for many years, and he is very responsible, and some small problems in the water and electricity in the yard can be cleaned up, can you keep it here." Kong Xiuying said: "No problem, we are just trying to invite such a person." ”

Lao Kong's name is Kong Yunqiang, 62 years old, according to reports, he usually lives in this courtyard, and his physical condition looks good, and he is very neat. On the morning of the same day, the two parties signed the contract for renting the yard, and Kong Xiuying gave the landlord half a year's rent once, and the yard was delivered to Kong Xiuying.

On the way back, Chen Xiangxiang, Kong Xiuying and Li Xin were all excited, Chen Xiangxiang said to Li Xin: "Why didn't you help suppress the price just now?" Li Xin smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know how to make a price, and I don't know much about this market." Kong Xiuying said with a smile: "We don't know the price, but I have inquired about the market in the past few days, and the price of this yard is not expensive, and the conditions in all aspects are quite in line with our needs." Li Xin said happily: "That's good." ”

Kong Xiuying continued: "The next step is to quickly build a sheepfold and buy sheep, you should see how many sheep you should buy first." Chen Xiangxiang said: "There are six people in Zhongzhou City now, and if each person considers six sheep, it should be 36. Li Xin said: "Some people's mental strength is not high enough to let go of so many sheep, so you can consider buying less appropriately." Kong Xiuying said: "Xu Ran may also come to Zhongzhou City to develop, I am persuading him, think about buying 20 sheep first, and then buy it when it is not enough." Chen Xiangxiang said: "The matter of building a sheepfold and buying sheep will be handed over to Li Xin to go to Zhang Luo, and let Tan Yong and Cao Jiahui also contribute." Li Xin said: "Okay, leave this matter to Zhang Luo, a few of our men." Kong Xiuying smiled and said, "That's okay, then Xiangxiang and I will save our worries, and I'll transfer some money to your card when we go back." In addition, you should discuss a few rooms, and add some tables, chairs, and other necessities, and buy them all together. ”

Li Xin said: "I searched the Internet for sheep raising, it is still more troublesome, there is no grass in this season, and I have to prepare feed for sheep, and I have to find a sheep to ask for advice." In addition, it is best to ask Xu Ran to draw a drawing for the sheepfold. Chen Xiangxiang answered: "I will talk to Xu Ran about drawing drawings, and you will do the rest." "Okay. Also, do you think about what kind of sheep to buy, whether to buy dairy sheep or ordinary sheep? Chen Xiangxiang said: "I want dairy sheep, so that I can drink assured milk." Kong Xiuying said with a smile: "Go back and ask in the group to see how many people want to drink goat's milk, the number of dairy sheep must be bought enough, and the others can consider buying ordinary sheep, I don't know anything about sheep." ”

On Monday night, in the "Dream Walker" group, everyone saw the photos of Chen Xiangxiang's yard preparing to raise sheep, and they were very excited, and they came up with suggestions to conceive the layout of the sheep farm; Xu Ran said that he would send the design drawings of the sheepfold after designing them tomorrow; Several group members who lived in Zhongzhou City persuaded Xu Ran to move to Zhongzhou City as soon as possible, and also persuaded other group members from other places to move to Zhongzhou City. Xu Ran happily agreed, and would prepare to move to Zhongzhou City as soon as possible. Since they all have their own jobs, it is difficult for them to make a decision.

On Tuesday morning, Chen Xiangxiang officially joined the Zhongzhou Municipal State Security Bureau after completing the entry procedures, and the specific work was not arranged for the time being, but she could come to the bureau to receive safety education and vocational skills education and training when she was free. The bureau also arranged a separate dormitory for Chen Xiangxiang, so that she could enter the dream game in the dormitory.

Kong Xiuying called Li Xin on Tuesday morning and told him to put 100,000 yuan on his card, and if it was not enough, he would replenish it when the time came. In addition, Kong Xiuying told Li Xin to let him consider hiring a full-time sheep raising employee, Kong Xiuying knew that feeding sheep is a very troublesome job after checking the Internet last night, and he has to feed at least twice a day.

At noon on Tuesday, Xu Ran sent the construction drawings of the sheepfold to Li Xin, and on Wednesday Li Xin contacted the staff of the Infrastructure Construction Office of the National Security Bureau to help organize the construction, and by Sunday, the sheepfold had been completed; The wall is a brick-concrete structure, and the inner and outer walls are sprayed white; The roof is a color steel plate roof with light steel roof truss and flame retardant insulation board; Water, electricity and other supporting facilities have also been completed.
