Early the next morning, Jiang Hua's father, Jiang Wenxuan, went to the village chief's house to inquire about renting land. Jiang Hua's mother, Li Liqin, made breakfast at home. It was almost August and the weather was still hot. During lunch, Jiang Wenxuan came back and brought a comparison

Troubling news, the wasteland in the village can be handled by the village, but the valley in the water bay is not under the jurisdiction of the village. It has to go to the town government to complete the procedures. The village chief recently went to the town and said he would help inquire about the contracted wasteland.

What procedures are required?

In the afternoon, I took advantage of the cool weather and went to the wasteland at the east end of the village to take a look. The whole land was fairly flat. It was not the right time to contract. Corn matured in more than two months. How about planting some wheat? But the wheat harvest takes May to June.

, Jianghua is planning to plant fruit trees, which will happen in February or March next year.

There is still half a year of free time. What should you do during this time? Build a house first?

Jiang Hua went to the village chief uncle and told him his plan. Now he would buy a house foundation and build a house first. There was no rush to rent the land.

Village chief Lin Wei looked at Jiang Hua and asked puzzledly: "You are the only child in your family. The foundation for your home is not free. Why are you buying the foundation? When the time comes, you can just marry a wife and buy a house in the city. You can live there when you go home."

What a nice home we have. Why spend that wasted money?"

Jiang Hua smiled and said: "Uncle, I plan to make a living at home. It will be inconvenient for friends to come and go at home. I plan to contract the land in the village to plant fruit trees. It will also be convenient to buy a homestead there.

ah."

"I really don't know what you young people think about all day long. You just quit your job and go home to work in agriculture." The village chief said with hatred that the village finally had a college student, but in the end he returned.

The villager said: "A piece of homestead land will cost you 20,000 yuan."

Jiang Hua directly asked for an acre of land: "I also want to build a yard. Can you get me an acre of land?"

"Then we need two homesteads. Can you live in such a big place?" The village chief glared at Jiang Hua.

"I think it would be convenient and beautiful to focus on flowers and vegetables around the house. When the time comes, I will contract the surrounding land, and it will be convenient to put some things at home." Jiang Hua explained.

"Okay, you're sure. I'll measure it for you tomorrow, then pay and I'll get it stamped for you." Having money makes things easier.

The next day, the village chief Lin Wei took the accountant Jiang Yuan and went with Jiang Hua and his family to measure the foundation of the house. Speaking of which, the village accountant was separated from Mr. Jiang Hua's generation and was still a member of his own family.

After the measurement was completed, Jiang Hua paid the money and received the certificate. The next step was to repair the house. He found a mason in the village and started construction. After digging the foundation and tamping it, he began to build the wall.

It is not difficult to design a house in Jianghua. It is very simple. It faces north and south. On the first floor, the entrance is the hall. There are several rooms with different functions in three directions of the hall, namely the master bedroom, study room, kitchen, corridor and stair storage room.

There are several guest rooms and bathrooms in the middle of the second floor, surrounded by balconies. It would be a good idea to plant some flowers and plants at that time. On the second floor, there is a balcony that can be covered half by a tile roof.

The one-story building is surrounded by a circular corridor and at the top is the balcony on the second floor. When the vines planted on the balcony hang down, it can be used as a pavilion.

In a few days, the walls of the first floor have been built, and then the floor slabs are built and the second floor is started. The day of capping comes quickly. The second floor of Jianghua is a tiled house, so the beams must be installed before capping.

Building the beam and capping it was a big event. Jianghua's family prepared wine and food, and entertained the people from the village who came to help and the workers who repaired the house.

When the time came, firecrackers went off, attracting the children who were on summer vacation. Jiang Hua stood on the second floor and sprinkled candies and snacks for the children to grab. Some people booed: "Xiaohua, are you planning to build a new house and marry a wife?"

In rural areas, it is common to wait until the family's children are getting married before renovating or building a house. Jiang Hua is also 25 years old, and it is time to marry a wife. It is no wonder that building a house at this time is misunderstood.

After the beams were installed and capped, Jiang Hua only asked him to paint the exterior walls once, and he would do the interior decoration slowly after the house was dry.

Now Jianghua began to inquire about furniture and decoration styles, and Jianghua began to green the house. The flower seeds and some green saplings ordered from the Internet have arrived in the town. Jianghua rode a motorcycle to the town once and brought back many things.

When Jiang Hua returned to the village with several tricycles, he startled everyone on the road.

The village chief brought several villagers to help Jiang Hua. Jiang Hua took out various cigarettes from the space and gave them to these uncles as a tribute, because they were all related by relatives.

An uncle in his fifties joked: "It seems that Xiaohua is really ready to get married. He has already bought home appliances and furniture, and is only missing a bride."

"Uncle Gui, my girlfriend is not here yet. I am building this to live by myself. It is convenient to manage the orchard. Although the orchard is not here yet, why don't we prepare it in advance and start planting fruit trees after the new year?" Jiang Hua

He explained to his clan uncle Jiang Gui.

"Xiaohua, you're not young anymore. You're already twenty-five and it's time to get married. It doesn't matter if you don't have a partner. Ask your aunt to check with you to see who has a suitable girl." Lin, another uncle who helped.

Fang said, Jiang Hua quickly stopped him: "Uncles, stop it now. I'm preparing to take care of these acres of land. I haven't thought about getting married yet. Don't spread rumors, otherwise my parents will arrange a blind date for me tomorrow."

Already."

Everyone was chatting and laughing as they moved all the electrical appliances and furniture on the tricycle into the hall. Jiang Hua took out the prepared fruit cigarettes to entertain everyone. This is how it is in rural areas. When something happens, the neighbors will come over to help and scatter a few cigarettes after they are done.

Just fine.

At this time, a motorcycle came over and parked in the yard that had not yet been repaired. Jiang Hua looked over and saw that it was Lin Yun, the son of the village chief. Jiang Hua quickly greeted him: "Brother Yun, why are you here? Are you looking for the village chief's uncle?"

Lin Yun wiped his face with his hands: "Xiaohua, I'm here to see my dad. The phone at home rang just now. Someone is talking to my dad about something. I'll come over and shout."

It seemed that everyone had basically finished moving their things. After a short break, everyone went back to their homes.

In the next period of time, Jiang Hua divided the yard into nine squares and began to green it.

The No. 1 grid is planted with Osmanthus bamboo, whose scientific name is Gangzhu, which is very suitable for landscaping.

The second grid is the gate, which has been paved with stone slabs. There are some reliefs of animals and plants on the stone slabs for anti-slip treatment and beautification of the environment.

There are some flowers planted in the No. 3 grid. Each small flower bed is separated by a stone path, and there is a pavilion in the middle.

Grid No. 6 is two small ponds. The bottom of the pond near Grid No. 3 is soil. When the time comes, some lotus roots will be planted. The other pond is slightly higher than the ground. Jianghua plans to build a swimming pool. There is a swimming pool between Grid No. 6 and Grid No. 3.

A small bridge connects the central pavilion of the lotus pond and the pavilion in the garden.

Grid No. 5 is the room building,

In grid No. 4 and No. 7, we plan to plant some laurel trees, jujube trees, pomegranate trees, crabapple trees, and plum blossom trees.

Grid No. 9 is a vegetable garden where some vegetables can be grown for daily consumption.

Grid No. 8 is a grassland where you can raise some small animals, and yes, they are edible. There is also a tool room near the back. You can directly enter and exit the planned orchard through the back door, which is very convenient.

The fence is a 1.6-meter wooden fence with rose vines planted inside.

The balcony around the second floor is mainly decorated with flowers and plants.

For the interior decoration, Jianghua uses white walls, bluestone floors, and simple Chinese style doors and windows. There are various auspicious wood carvings on the furniture surfaces, combined with modern solid wood design to focus on comfort. Due to the use of load-bearing column structures, the windows can be large and bright.

, each room has two doors, one leading to the living room and one opening to the yard.

Although the yard is still bare now, Jiang Hua firmly believes that it won't be long before the whole yard will start to be full of life.

After tidying up the entire yard, Jiang Hua was ready to move in. Although his parents were a little disappointed, Jiang Hua was going to live in his parents' home, so his parents didn't say anything. They had to go home for dinner for the time being.

He spent two days peacefully in this way. The master bedroom and study room were close to the No. 6 space. Jiang Hua went online and contacted classmates and friends when he had nothing to do. He did not reveal that he had quit his job and stayed at home. He would not notify them to come over until he had finished his own world.

Play.

That afternoon, Jiang Hua received a call from the village chief's uncle, saying that he had just returned from town and brought news about the valley. Jiang Hua hurried over.

"Uncle Village Chief, I'm here." Jiang Hua put the fruit on the living room table.

The village chief looked unhappy: "Uncle Lai, here you bring a gift."

Jiang Hua's face was full of smiles: "Uncle, how can this be a gift? It's just a few kilograms of fruit. How much is it worth? I bring this to your door to ask for help?"

"Well, I will accept this fruit. You want to contract the wasteland in the valley, and the town agrees. One acre of land is 60 yuan a year. The land is about 1,600 acres and there is a swamp. After one year, it will be enough."

It costs 100,000 yuan, with a minimum term of 10 years and a maximum term of 50 years. How many years do you plan to rent?" The village chief looked at Jiang Hua and introduced him to the conditions in the town seriously.

Jiang Hua calculated that he would need 5 million yuan in 50 years. There were more than 130 acres of wasteland at the head of the village. Calculated at 60 yuan per mu, it would cost 400,000 yuan. Jiang Hua’s money was enough for the wasteland in the valley. He had money, but it was not good.

Tell your parents.

"Uncle, I discussed it with my parents and will give you an answer tomorrow." Jiang Hua said "cautiously".

"Okay, you have to discuss such a big matter with your parents." He chatted with the village chief for a few interesting things in the village, then left the village chief's house, came to his hometown for dinner, and agreed with his parents that the rent should be paid every ten years.

After lunch the next day, he showed up at the village chief's house, picked him up and rode his motorcycle to the town. He went directly to the town government and handed in the land lease materials. It would take several days to complete the process.

Send the village chief home: "Uncle village chief, people will be coming from the town in two days. Then we will go to the valley together to have a look."

"It's good to be young, decisive in doing things, and get things done so quickly." The village chief was surprised at Jiang Hua's quick actions: "I'll call the town tomorrow to urge them to come over quickly."

"Hey, uncle, don't people in the village know for so many years that you have relatives who are officials?" Jiang Hua said in surprise, looking at the village chief, uncle, your natural expression.

"Why do I have relatives who are officials? This is to send money to the town. How can the town not be active?" The words of the village chief's uncle made Jiang Hua understand.

After returning home and telling the story to his parents, Jiang Wenxuan looked at Jiang Hua: "Since you have decided to work at home, you should be down-to-earth. Don't think about getting back your money in a short time. Rent the land in the village tomorrow.

, the valley will get one million, and the land in the village will get 400,000."

"Dad, I got it. Tomorrow I will rent the land in the village and then buy a tractor and some supporting machinery." Jiang Hua told his parents about his plan.

"Why buy a tractor? There are a lot of rocks in the wasteland. Even if you buy a tractor, you won't be able to use it. It will damage the machine." Li Liqin said worriedly.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry. I know there is a machine that can sort out the small stones. Just put them together when the time comes. For the big stones, do it slowly." Jiang Hua knew that there was such a machine, and then according to the

The principle is, just make one yourself.

Jiang Hua's parents thought for a while: "It would be great to have such a machine. It will turn wasteland into fertile farmland. It will be very cost-effective."

After completing the work of his parents, the rest of the matter went smoothly. On the second day, the wasteland in the village was rented. On the third day, people from the town came. Jiang Hua went with them to inspect the valley. There were also a lot of rocks in it. Finally, with each

The property was rented to Jianghua for 50 yuan per mu. We discussed everything in the village and then went to the town to sign the contract together. We paid ten years' rent first and went through the formalities.

He went alone to the agricultural machinery sales point in the town, and then Jiang Hua drove the tractor back to the village. There was a trailer behind it, and there were some machines such as rotary tillage and seeding placed on the trailer.

Just as Jianghua's car passed by, the children in the village followed him to watch the excitement. A six-year-old kid shouted: "Uncle Hua Zi, you bought a tractor, let me sit on it for a while."

Jiang Hua looked at this little kid, his name was Jiang Fei, and he was the grandson of the village accountant: "Feifei, come to my house later, and I will unload the things and then let you play."

"Okay, Uncle Hua Zi, I haven't been to your new home yet?" "I haven't been either." "Me too..."

At this time, the little kids were shouting, and Jiang Hua said loudly: "You all come over later, and I will get you some candies."

"Uncle Hua Zi is the best..." "Long live Uncle Hua Zi, long live long live..."

These dolls can really shout out anything, and they must be watching TV a lot.

He drove the tractor back to the back door of his new home, unloaded the body, and drove the tractor to the front door. After putting it here, Jiang Hua went back to the room and took out a large tray, put some candies, dried fruits and fruits in it, filling a large tray full.

Place it on the stone table in the front yard.

After a while, these little guys arrived, followed by Jiang Hua's parents. They seemed to know that Jiang Hua was driving the tractor back.

I looked at the tractor parked in front of the yard, looked around, and then entered the yard.

Jiang Hua took them to visit the new house, which was brand new and beautifully decorated.

Standing on the balcony and watching a group of children climbing up and down the tractor in front of the door, eating candies and fruits, and playing happily, Jiang Hua's mood also improved.

When it was almost time for dinner, Jiang Hua sent the children away and went home with his parents to have dinner.

In the evening, Jiang Hua made a stone screening machine and modified the tractor to make it more powerful.

The next day, Jiang Hua began to tidy up the wasteland. He directly cleared out the stones in the ground and piled them together. When someone built a house, he would pull them out himself. Using super tools, he cleared more than 100 acres of land and stones in one day.

Only a dozen huge stones are left, so this won't affect it.

In the next ten days, Jianghua cleaned up the stones in the valley, put them together, and spread them into a deep pit to form a pool. Next to the pool, Jianghua planned to dig a reservoir to raise some fish and store water for the pasture.
Chapter completed!
