Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Villa is Completed
After spending 25,000 yuan, Li Xuan's family contracted the entire Xishan and had the right to operate and use it for 50 years.
This barren mountain, there are more than 20 acres of wasteland alone, plus a pond of more than 10 acres, no matter how you calculate the contract fee, it is also more cost-effective.
Although the cost of clearing the wasteland and pushing the pond is not taken into account, it will not be much money in 50 years on average.
Besides, after fifty years, Li Xuan's family will still have the right of first refusal to contract, and then they will continue to contract. In other words, in the past fifty years, this mountain will be surnamed Li, and Li Xuan's family can toss it on this mountain as much as they want.
It's spring now, and it's time to farm in the countryside. The whole family began to get busy, and first of all, they had to plant 15 acres of contracted land and 20 acres of land on the mountain. At that time, in Guyu Village, corn and soybeans were mainly grown, and sometimes a little wheat was grown, and they grinded noodles to eat. In addition, three acres of wasteland on the mountain should be set aside to grow vegetables.
Before farming, Li Xuan also secretly went to Xishan to open up wasteland. I used some of the spiritual water in the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, and sprinkled it on twenty acres of wasteland, so as not to grow crops on the newly opened land. At the same time, all the fish collected from the pagoda were put into the pond, turning an empty pond into a fish pond. He was also afraid that these fish would not adapt to the environment in this pond, so he specially took out more than ten drops of spiritual water from the pagoda and put them in this pond, using these spiritual water to enhance the physique of the fish.
At that time, there were basically no agricultural machinery in the countryside, and farming mainly relied on oxen, horses, and ploughing sticks, and the whole family had to go into battle. In order to rush to plant and harvest, some units can put on "busy farming leave." The school will also follow suit, and the older children will have to go to the fields to do farm work, which is also considered a large laborer. In the past few days, Yushu Township Middle School has also taken a week's agricultural vacation, allowing students to go home to help with farming.
Don't look at Li Xuan's young age, but his strength is much greater than that of ordinary people, he can do farm work for two, drive cattle and plows. Although the family has an extra 20 acres of wasteland, it will be done in a week.
Li Xuan's family first planted their own 15 acres of contracted land, and then planted wasteland on the mountain. When it was time to plant the wasteland, Li Xuan's father and mother were stunned again, almost thinking that they had gone to the wrong place.
It turned out that when the land was first opened, there was nothing on it. But Li Xuan secretly sprinkled spiritual water, which had a very great effect on the growth of plants and trees.
Li Xuan didn't think so much about it when he sprinkled the water, he just wanted to improve the land. As a result, I didn't go for a few days, and it was actually overgrown with weeds more than a meter high.
There was no way, Li Xuan's father and son spent two more days mowing the grass. Li Xuan's cattle are very happy, the grass they eat these days is ready-made, and it is very sweet, and they are happy to flick their tails while eating grass.
After the grass was cut, he began to plant again, mainly corn. When the ridges are finished, they start digging and sowing. In order for the corn to germinate better, it is generally necessary to water the pit at the time of sowing. When Li Xuan's father and mother went to the pond to fetch water, they were stunned again.
As soon as I put the bucket in the pond, I heard the sound of big fish turning flowers not far away, many fish were splashing excitedly in the water, and a few big carp jumped more than a meter high directly on the water surface.
Li Xuan's father and mother thought, this pond has only been launched for a few days, and his family has not put fish fry in it, why did there be so many more fish at once.
Li Xuan didn't expect these fish to make such a big noise, he was quite honest when he first put the fish in, and later when he sprinkled the spiritual water again, these fish rushed to devour the spiritual water, and he didn't care, it must be that these fish spiritual water drank too much and his physique changed, so he was so happy.
There was no way, Li Xuan had to lie to his parents to explain again. Li Xuan was originally a very honest child, but since he got the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, he couldn't take it back since he told a lie, and he needed one lie after another to round the lies in front of him.
"When I pushed this pond the other day, it seemed to be connected to an underground river, and these fish couldn't have swam from that river. ”
Although this explanation is far-fetched, Li Xuan's parents couldn't think of what the reason was, so they acquiesced to this reason.
They also thought they had made a wise decision, but fortunately they did not put the fry in it, or they all ran away from the underground river, but they would have lost a fortune.
This time, the fish swam in from the underground river on their own, so it would be like picking them up for nothing, and then you could cast a few more nets to catch some of the fish.
"These are all wild fish, and they will definitely sell for a good price. ”
When the land was finished, the vegetables began again. Cucumbers, eggplants, beans, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, zucchini, pumpkins, etc. While watering the seeds, Li Xuan secretly mixed some spiritual water into them.
Next, Li Xuan's father went to the township to catch the market and bought a few large bundles of fruit tree saplings, and the father and son planted two circles of fruit trees around the pond, and planted a few rows on the east side of the wasteland.
After finishing these tasks, Li Xuan's "farm leave" was over, so he had to reluctantly go to school. In Li Xuan's heart, he felt that farming was much more interesting than going to school.
When the farm was over, Li Dajun began to buy bricks and timber again, and was busy asking people to build a house. At that time, when building a house in the countryside, basically no one was hired, and all you had to ask for help, as long as you cooked a few good dishes and managed the rice.
Because Li Dajun is usually popular, he has many relatives and friends in Guyu Village, and dozens of people came to help when he built the house.
The stonemasons helped break the stones and lay the foundations, the bricklayers helped lay the bricks, the carpenters helped beat the doors and windows, the young men helped with the mud, and the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law helped to cook.
On Sunday, when the house was on the beams and tiles, Li Dajun's family specially killed a pig and held a banquet to thank relatives and friends.
After the house put the beams on the beams, first nailed a red cloth in the middle of the beams, and then firecrackers rang out, and a lot of candy and fruit were sprinkled from the house, attracting a large group of children to laugh and scramble, and it was very lively.
More than 10 tables were set up for the banquet at Li Dajun's house, and more than 100 people from the whole village came. Li Yuanshan, the village secretary, the director of the village committee, and the village accountant all came to congratulate him.
When these three people saw that this barren mountain was made prosperous by Li Dajun, their intestines were full of regret. I knew that this barren mountain was so good, I should have asked Li Dajun for more contracting fees, but now that the contracts have been signed, and the fifty-year contract fees have been paid at one time, it is too late to regret it.
If it comes, it will be safe. That's already the case, so let's eat and drink. In the end, the three men were very drunk and were helped home.
As soon as these five large tiled houses are completed, this Li Villa is really a bit weather. Li Xuan practiced the exercises when he was fine, sprinkled some spiritual water on crops, fruit trees and vegetables, and sometimes went to the pond to feed the fish, and lived a free and leisurely life.
This spring, Li Xuan mainly spent time in cultivating wasteland and building mountain villas, although his junior high school studies were not wasted by relying on his super memory, but there was not much progress. The relationship with Zhao Bing, who is at the same table as the beautiful woman, is still the same, going to school together in the morning, eating together at noon, and leaving school together at night, warm and calm.
It's just that Li Xuanzhi is not here, and he is still very interested in accumulating merits and cultivating Xuanhuang merits.
He always had a sense of urgency, feeling that everything he encountered in his dreams was real, and he didn't know how many years the universe would collapse. Only by cultivating the Xuanhuang Merit Technique to a higher realm can it be possible to know more, and maybe come up with some solutions.
