Chapter XXIV Contracted Orchards
Instead, the garden is full of abundant fruit.
There are many varieties of fruits, including apples, oranges, and peaches.
"Dad, how can this fruit tree grow so fast! When we watered it the other day, it was still bare? Liu Er was shocked.
Not only Liu Er, Aunt Liu and Liu San, Liu Yi was also very shocked.
Daddy Liu looked at the family in front of him with a smile, very proud, "Because the soil of this land is good, you see, in a radius of hundreds of miles, how can there be a piece of land that is better than our soil." ”
After saying this, Daddy Liu didn't forget to sour Aunt Liu, "How is it?" Daughter-in-law, you still stopped me from cultivating it at the beginning, but now when you see this scene, do you regret it? ”
To tell the truth, Aunt Liu is really a little afraid, if Daddy Liu's ears are soft and she is persuaded by herself, then where will their family get so much fruit now.
"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, can't I? I'll listen to you in the future. ”
Aunt Liu's words amused the children, and the family went into the orchard happily. Daddy Liu asked the children to help pick some fruits and go home, and the children were very happy, and they didn't want to eat pears anymore.
In the past half a year, my mouth has been calloused.
The Liu family returned from the mountain with a full load, and the buckets of watering they brought up the mountain were full of fruit.
When passing through the village, the harvest of the Liu family was seen by the villagers.
After inquiry, the villagers learned that the orchard that the Liu family had just planted was already full of fruit.
This incident blew up throughout the village.
Some people praise the luck of the Liu family, some people think that Daddy Liu is down-to-earth and hardworking, and it is God's reward to bear so many fruits, and some people are jealous of Daddy Liu, thinking that he has used some unclean means.
When the villagers were discussing this strange incident, Xu Huaihua was returning home from the town's health center, and as soon as she passed by the entrance of the village, she heard people talking about the Liu family in groups.
She stopped and listened for a while, and when she heard it, she was horrified, yesterday the Liu family's orchard just had a little bud, and today it all bore fruit?
She couldn't believe it, but the people in the village told her that the people of the Liu family had just carried a bucket of all kinds of fruit and passed by this intersection.
This made her believe it again.
"After all, it's better to have that piece of land. Look at that piece of land, it turned out to be a messy stone hill, who knew that Daddy Liu's family went, dug a few hoes, and it became a fertile field, how can it be reasonable? A villager was full of envy, and thought that it would be good if he went to mine the rocky hills on the mountain by himself. Now I can have such fertile land.
Xu Huaihua was not happy, glanced at the person who spoke, and said angrily: "It's not that our Lao Chen sees his family as pitiful, and gives him such a good land, so that he can occupy such a good land in the public house for nothing, and he doesn't have to spend a penny." That's the real luck. ”
She snorted coldly and limped home.
These cynical words happened to be heard by Liu San, who went up the mountain to get a hoe, and he silently remembered it in his heart.
After returning home, Liu San said this to Daddy Liu, "Dad, we really didn't spend money on this land, and now some people will gossip about something when we grow something, I think it's better to solve it completely." ”
Daddy Liu had a headache, and the apples stuffed in his mouth were not fragrant, he looked at Liu San with a sad face, and asked for his opinion, "What do you say?" ”
Liu San's eyebrows froze, and he gave Daddy Liu an idea, "Contracting, now the whole country has set off an upsurge of rural reform, and the south has moved." ”
These were all the news he saw in the newspaper, and Daddy Liu was illiterate and couldn't read the newspaper, so he didn't know anything about the new policies and the current situation.
But he trusted the son very much, and he did whatever the son said.
After lunch, Daddy Liu took Liu San to the village committee to find Village Chief Chen, and met Xu Huaihua, who came to deliver food.
Xu Huaihua still didn't give Daddy Liu a good look, glared at him, and stepped into the gate of the village committee first.
The door panel slammed shut, knocking Daddy Liu and Daddy Liu San out of the door.
"Is there someone outside the door?" Village Chief Chen clearly saw two figures left outside the door.
Xu Huaihua blocked the window and deliberately blocked Village Chief Chen's vision, "Really? Why didn't I see it? ”
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Daddy Liu squeezed in through the crack in the door.
As soon as Village Chief Chen saw him coming, he immediately knew what kind of crooked idea his daughter-in-law was playing, glared at her fiercely, got up and enthusiastically welcomed Daddy Liu and his son into the office.
"Old Liu, why are you here?"
Seeing that his man was so enthusiastic about Daddy Liu, serving tea and pouring water, Xu Huai entered the office angrily.
Daddy Liu took the teacup and sat on the small sofa in the village chief's office very embarrassed, most of his buttocks hanging outside.
"Village Chief Chen, you give me the piece on the mountain, I can't use it in vain. I came this time to discuss with you, and I want to contract the land on the mountain. ”
Village Chief Chen has a better impression of Daddy Liu, many people in the village eat for nothing, and this is the first time he has taken the initiative to pay.
He thought about it, but he didn't understand the contracting policy either, so he decided to understand it first and then reply to Daddy Liu.
At this moment, Xu Huaihua came out of the back room in a hurry, and a big hat of a "landlord" was buckled on Daddy Liu's head.
She sneered, "Lao Liu, you earned two dollars by selling canned food, and you also want to learn from the local masters of the old society?" ”
When Daddy Liu heard the word "landlord", his face was frightened and colorless, he had never seen this kind of scene over the years, he was afraid.
Liu San saw that his father's mood was wrong, took a step forward, and explained to Village Chief Chen, "Village Chief, my family uses the pears grown by myself to make canned food and sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative. It was the production team and the supply and marketing cooperatives that agreed, and this is the fruit of the working people. ”
Village Chief Chen nodded, he knew about this, and he was also very supportive of the peasants getting rich through their work.
Seeing that Village Chief Chen's attitude was different from that of his wife Xu Huaihua, Liu San was relieved, and he continued: "Now the whole country is promoting the lump sum system, and farmers have the right to manage the land, but the land is owned by the collective. I don't know what you mean by that, auntie. ”
Xu Huaihua saw that a little fart child dared to fight with herself, she was angry, and she stepped forward to pull Liu San.
Stopped by Village Chief Chen, he asked Liu San to continue.
"My aunt's words are not right, and they are inconsistent with national policy. At present, what the state encourages is to do everything to the households, not to think about the local masters, but to seek the path of development through their own efforts. Aunt Xu, you said that we want to be the master, but we are sabotage! ”
Daddy Liu saw that Xu Huaihua was deflated by the second child, not to mention how happy he was, he still pretended to stop Liu San, "Second child, don't say it so ugly!" ”
"Okay Dad." Liu San happily agreed, he had already finished speaking, and he had nothing more to say.
The village chief was afraid that his daughter-in-law would go crazy for a while and have a quarrel with the Liu family father and son, so he asked the Liu family father and son to go back first and wait for his news.
Village Chief Chen moved quickly, after lunch, he went to the production team to find Captain Huang, the two of them sat in the office and discussed for a long time, or decided to ask the town leaders for instructions, after all, this kind of thing is the first time in the village, and they really don't know the latest policies of their superiors.
The mayor of the town preached the latest policy to the two people in person, and they learned that what the kid Liu San said was true, so the two of them went to Liu's house in person and agreed that Daddy Liu would pay for the land on the mountain.
"Village chief, captain, let's sign an agreement, it's a guarantee for the village and the team."
The two of them looked at each other and felt that this kid was really too smart, and he really had to fall on paper. In case the Liujia orchard is not harvested and does not give the village the money for the land, won't he still have to bear the responsibility?
In a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, the two sides signed an agreement on land contracting.
Chen.
Seeing that her man came back very late, Xu Huaihua asked casually, is there something in the village, and learned that it was the Liu family who really contracted the land, and the angry Xu Huaihua ran away on the spot, scolding his man for turning his elbow out.
Village Chief Chen was very helpless, squatting under the door and smoking a cigarette.
Xu Huaihua was also very aggrieved, she really couldn't stay in this home, she slammed the door in a fit of anger, one of her feet just stepped out of the threshold, and the other called before she could lift it, she tripped over the threshold, her injured arm smashed straight to the ground, and there was a sound of bones cracking.
