"This road will be built sooner or later, and this fruit tree will bear fruit immediately if planted. After a few years, the fruit will be born, and this road will be almost completed. Now we are building cement roads, and maybe our Meiziao road can be built into a cement road in the future. Are you still worried that fruits will not be transported out?" Zhang Dechun said without any confidence. The road in Meiziao is twenty or thirty miles away, and it costs a lot of money to build a gravel road. How much does it cost to build a cement road? Zhang Dechun dared not think about it.

"Then can I contract the barren mountains to plant fruit trees?" Zhang Yaohua asked.

Zhang Dechun was about to leave with lime mortar, but when he heard Zhang Yaohua's words, he stopped again, "What are you contracting for a barren mountain?"

"My family has dozens of mountain-driving dogs. When they grow up, can I put them in my yard? I can just contract a barren mountain to raise dogs." Zhang Beihua didn't really want to plant fruit trees.

"Which barren mountain do you want to contract?" Zhang Dechun happened to be unable to complete the task and needed someone to take the lead.

"I'll take all the barren mountain behind our house. I'll plant all the fruit trees in the future." Zhang Yaohua also had this idea temporarily. After thinking for a moment, she made up her mind.

"But that mountain cannot plant fruit trees. You should choose another barren mountain. Why don't you contract the village garden farm?" Zhang Dechun was thinking about Zhang Beghua from the bottom of his heart this time. The garden farm was originally the tea garden in the village, and the land was very good. The tea trees in the past were abandoned because of the poor management of contractors in recent years. At the end of last year, the previous contractors had withdrawn the contract, and no one took over it yet. If they could contract together, Zhang Dechun planned to increase the contracting period a little, and the contracting fee could be lower. In addition, there was also a house in the village pig farm on the other side of the garden farm. The houses built in the 1950s and 1960s were of good quality. As long as they were slightly renovated, Zhang Beghua could take them to raise dogs.

"Can you collect the garden farm? Don't bully me, I'm a ignorant person. Crops have been planted in the fields over there." Zhang Yaohua knew that although the garden farm was a public one, it had already contracted out, and now it has been planted by the contractors. The reason why the village wants to collect it is that the village has never collected the contract fee. Those land has long been planted by the contractors as their own land.

"See what you said, you called me grandpa, can I let you suffer a loss? If someone else contracted it, the land might not be able to be collected, but if you contract it, the villagers will definitely not dare to dominate it with you." Zhang Dechun turned out that this idea was the one. Not to mention, if Zhang Yaohua contracted this land, no one would dare dominate it.

"No. You asked me to take the gardening farm so enthusiastically. What was your idea?" Although Zhang Yaohua had never learned the allusion of "something to show her diligence, either a traitor or a thief", she understood the truth that pie would not fall from the sky.

"Uh." Zhang Dechun was a little embarrassed. He had no bad intentions. The county assigned a task of a thousand acres of orchards to each village. The garden farm had two or three hundred acres. If the garden farm was collected, the task would be completed by one-third. Then, a few barren mountains were contracted out, and the task would be completed. As for relying on these fruit trees to get rid of poverty and become rich, Zhang Dechun didn't think about it. If the road in this mountain valley of Meiziao, if the road is good, sell a few of them at will.

Meiziao has long been lifted out of poverty and become rich in the mountains. The road is so poor that fruits cannot be transported out when they are produced. Even Zhang Yaohua can see this truth, and Zhang Dechun can naturally see it. Meiziao has no idea that anyone with a little brain is not unable to see it. In fact, on TV now, it is said that "to get rich, build roads first", but Xintian County just mentions that "to get rich, plant trees first". It is not that these officials do not understand this truth, but that planting trees is easier than building roads.

"The above has set up a task. Each village has to complete the task of 1,000 acres of fruit trees. In fact, after completing 300 acres, it is barely possible to hand over the task. You just said that you wanted to contract the barren mountain, so I asked you to contract the garden farm. Anyway, the village has not received a penny of rent from the garden farm in the past two years. At worst, you have contracted this garden farm and just give some rent symbolically every year. What do you think?" Zhang Dechun was a little worried that Zhang Yaohua would disagree.

"Okay. But I still have to contract the barren mountain behind my house. Anyway, the gardening farm is connected to that barren mountain." Zhang Jiaohua thought for a while and said.

"But, what's the use of that barren mountain? The short ponytail pine tree has been around for about 10 or 20 years, and it's still a little taller. Even if it grows in the future, it can only be used for firewood. If you want it, you'll be the best place for the gardening farm. If your parents come back in the future, they will think that I'm cheating on you as a child. By the way, you have to discuss this with your grandparents. If they don't agree, this matter will not be done." Zhang Dechun thought about it and said.

"Isn't it enough for me to give you money?" Zhang Yaohua was a little worried. If she talked to Zhang Manyin about this, it would definitely be another debate.

"That's not possible. How old are you? You don't have full civil capacity. You must be contracted by your parents or your grandparents." Zhang Dechun shook his head quickly.

"Okay then." Zhang Yaohua prepared to go back to the classroom.

"Oh, beggar. I heard that your handwriting is well written. Can you please help me brush a slogan in the new teaching building of your school?" Zhang Dechun shook the bucket in his hand.

Zhang Yaohua felt that if she wanted to contract a gardening farm and the back mountain, she might have to ask Zhang Dechun for helping him to borrow flowers and offer Buddha today.

In fact, Zhang Dechun asked Zhang to brush slogans because Zhang Caohua wrote well. Zhang Dechun was also a glorious proletarian fighter back then, with big-character posters, slogans, etc., but he brushed a lot. At that time, he just took a hoe and a bucket of lime, and could paint all the higher ridges of Meiziao on revolutionary slogans. So the characters were written very well. The problem was that the new building of Meiziao Primary School was not allowed to brush slogans. So Zhang Dechun hit Zhang Caohua's head.

It is very exciting to use a brush like a mop to write and draw on the wall, and put it on the head of a kid. Although Zhang Yaohua is different from other kids, he is also a kid. How could he not be moved by writing and drawing?

The result was that the lime mortar and brush in Zhang Dechun's hand were written on the new teaching building of the school.
