Although Deng Dalang didn't know the quality of the paddy field, he immediately understood it when he heard that the land belonged to Geng Ming.
The land that Geng Ming rented from Lou's family was all first-class land.
He was a little unbelievable that it would be their turn for such a good thing to happen to the Deng family?
The steward said with a smile: "Dalang, you are really lucky. If it is announced soon, I don't know how many people will die from envy!"
"Geng Ming is such a shrewd person, how can his original land be so different?"
"Old man Deng, your family is going to be prosperous this time. Twenty acres of high-quality paddy field is almost the most fertile paddy field. Let me tell you, the rent is cheap. We can't say that in this area of Jiangling
It’s the lowest, I’m afraid it’s about the same.”
The old tenant still didn't seem to believe the fact before him. Twenty acres of high-quality paddy fields, something he had never dreamed of before, how could it fall on the Deng family?
"Dalang, hit me!"
How could a son beat his father? Deng Dalang was surprised: "Father...this..."
The steward couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, okay, Old Man Deng, this is given to you by God, no...it should be given to you by the Lou family and our uncle. Come, take a look at this contract."
The old tenant tremblingly took the contract.
"Oops, I knocked it down!" the steward laughed, "Dalang, please read it to your father!"
Deng Dalang walked around the streets doing carpentry work for others, and he also learned a lot of words.
He took the contract from his father and read it word for word. There were a few words he didn't recognize, and the steward was helping him read them.
The wrinkles on the old tenant's face gradually bloomed, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but there were tears in his cloudy eyes.
Apart from Geng Ming himself, the old tenant can be sure that no one knows the twenty acres of paddy fields better than him.
In the past, he could see these twenty acres of top-quality paddy fields from a distance while standing on the few acres of thin fields halfway up the mountain. The land was fertile and close to water sources.
At that time, I was thinking, how great it would be if these twenty acres of paddy field belonged to their old Deng family. I am afraid I would wake up laughing in my dreams.
God is so kind, this dream has come true.
The old tenant silently calculated an account in his mind.
The farmers found by Geng Ming could only say that they were only so-so at cultivating this high-quality paddy field. The yield per mu of land was about two dan.
If he took care of these lands himself, he would estimate that one acre of rice could yield more than three dan, and twenty acres would be more than 60 dan.
The old Deng family also has two sons. The eldest son is getting married. The daughter-in-law just gave birth to a fat grandson for the couple the year before last. The second son also said that he will get married by the end of the year.
Based on their family's food intake, a family of five adults and a baby who has just been weaned would eat one liter of rice per day. Calculating based on the lowest standard, Dakou needs to eat nearly four kilo of rice per year.
If we calculate it based on five stones, we are relatively wealthy. A family can eat more than twenty-five stones a year.
Even if the second daughter-in-law comes in at the end of the year, the family will only have to spend more than thirty days.
After deducting the rent of ten dan, the family still has twenty dan left.
The boss is becoming more and more familiar with carpentry work. Many people from all over the country come to him for work, and he can earn more than ten or twenty dollars every year.
After all, with 20 acres of rice and the boss's one year's work, we can save enough food for the whole family in the coming year.
That means you don’t have to worry about going hungry.
It's a pity that the boss lost his carpentry job.
As for the second child, let him farm with you.
If this kid doesn't want to, break his legs!
The steward smiled and said: "Old man Deng, don't hesitate, sign and pledge it quickly."
"Well, little old man, I'll sign and pledge it now!"
If anyone doesn’t let him make a bet, he will immediately fight to the death!
"Wait a minute, wait a moment!"
A voice came from behind.
The three of them turned their heads.
"Uncle..."
"Xiao Langjun!"
It turned out that Chen Chang came over.
Ge Ming and his gang were so stunned by his sugar-coated bullets that they sneaked out when they found an opportunity.
He heard from Manager Liu Da about the situation of this old tenant, and there was no one in the country who knew how to farm better than this man.
"Uncle Deng!" Chen Chang greeted with a smile.
The three old tenants were very worried when they saw Chen Chang's gift.
The steward explained: "Uncle, Old Man Deng is very grateful to me. I was just about to sign the pledge, but by chance you came."
The old tenant looked at the steward with a grateful look, telling him to hurry up and sign, which made him suffer from long nights and dreams.
The old tenant trembled and said: "My uncle's great kindness and virtue will be borne in mind by my whole family. Sir, please kneel down to your benefactor!"
Both father and son fell to their knees.
Although Chen Chang was also a big boss in his previous life, it felt uncomfortable to have an old man who was older than his parents kneeling in front of him.
He hurriedly stepped forward to help the old tenant: "Old man, please get up quickly, I can't afford this!"
The old tenant refused to get up no matter what, and said with tears in his eyes: "Little man, I beg you, don't take back my life. I am willing to increase the rent to fifteen dan."
Deng Dalang also kowtowed and said: "Yes, young man, these lands are my father's destiny. Please don't take it back."
The steward had a good relationship with the Deng family and his son. When they were making the pledge, Chen Chang came over, obviously to stop the father and son from making the pledge. However, as a servant, it was difficult for him to say anything in front of Chen Chong.
Chen Chang realized this time that they were worried that he would regret it, so he couldn't help but laugh.
"Old man, you have misunderstood. I did not come here to take back these twenty acres of land!"
"Get up first and then talk!"
The father and son stood up in doubt, and the old tenant asked in surprise: "What is this young man?"
Chen sang: "I heard that Mr. Deng is a good farmer. I want to ask, are these twenty acres of paddy fields enough for farming?"
The old tenant didn't understand what he meant and said, "What does Xiaolangjun mean?"
The steward hurriedly said: "Old man Deng, when I ask a question, you should answer it truthfully."
The old tenant didn't dare to neglect and said: "If I go back to my uncle, I don't dare to say that farming is still possible. To be honest, these twenty acres of paddy field are really not enough."
Chen Chang said with a smile: "That's just right. I just checked at the accounting office. One family decided to give up the lottery temporarily, and the land was increased by fifteen acres. These fifteen acres of land are considered medium-sized paddy fields. I'll give it to you.
The twenty acres here are naturally incomparable, but they are relatively close to the water source, making it easier to irrigate."
"It's just that these fifteen acres of land are still more than three miles away from your twenty acres. Who doesn't want a piece of land that can be managed and cultivated conveniently?"
Speaking of which, the old tenant was still a little confused.
But the steward understood, and pulled the old tenant's sleeve: "Old man Deng, if you don't hurry up and thank my uncle, if you knock your head off, these fifteen acres of land will be rented to you."
