"What a coincidence. The TV station is in XC and is the most sensitive to this aspect. Otherwise, do you think such a trivial matter can be included in the news of our city?!"
Wan Chuanjia hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and helped his father fill up his glass.
"Comrade Lao Wan..."
"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling."
Wan Shantang picked up the phone on the table and looked at it, Mr. Li.
Pressed the answer button:
"Brother, why did you think of calling me? Have you had dinner?"
"I haven't eaten. That's just right. I've just eaten too. Come over here and let us brothers have a few drinks."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Wan Chuanjia said curiously:
"Uncle Li?"
"Well, I'll come over later and let your wife cook two more dishes."
"Come here during dinner time, is there something wrong?"
"If he is fine, will he come to our house?"
"What do you want from me?"
"I didn't say anything, I'll find out when we get here. By the way, did you go out alone today?"
"Zhuzi and the others are following me. I was in a hurry at that time, so I forgot about drinking."
Wan Shan Tang felt warm in his heart, but he still scolded:
“How many times have I told you, when things are urgent, you should slow down, when things are big, you should be quiet, when things are difficult, you should change, and when things are going well, you should be restrained.
You are not allowed to drive after drinking alcohol, do you understand?"
"I got it. By the way, Dad. In the final analysis, everything that happened today was caused by Wang Qinglai's house. I asked about the reporter and she is Wang Qingzhi's girlfriend..."
Wan Shantang glared at his son:
"Don't worry about this. Please give me some peace of mind these days."

10:30 pm
Happiness pushed Wang Lidong, who was dazed:
"talk!"
"say what?"
The happy hand reached down.
"Take it lightly, or it will break if it is too hard. I guarantee you will regret it later. I say, Hejiacun!"
Xingfu said in surprise:
"My house? You want to rent land from my house?"
"Didn't you say that your village has much more wasteland than Wanjiazhuang, and many of them are connected together?"
Xingfu took out a few tissues and wiped his hands in disgust.
"Then you plan to stay at my house?"
Wang Lidong said strangely:
"Nonsense, if I don't live in your house, why should I rent land in Hejiacun?
Downstream in Shuiwei Village, there is also a lot of wasteland in their village, and it is only a few miles away from home."
"If you live in my house, someone in the village will definitely point fingers at you behind your back."
"You said I'm your son-in-law?"
"Um."
Wang Lidong said with a smile:
"Daughter-in-law, you won't lose any weight if someone says a few words to you, as long as you don't say bad things about me in front of me.
Who has no one to talk to behind his back, and who has no one to talk to in front of him?
Other people’s opinions are just a P to me.”
"Really going to my house?"
"As long as you can rent suitable land there, go to Hejiacun."
Xingfu hurriedly picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and dialed his mother's number.
Early the next morning, the family was having breakfast.
Wang Youde asked his eldest daughter-in-law:
"Xingfu, did Public Security Li call you?"
Xingfu swallowed the porridge in his mouth, and then said:
"Dad, I'm back. You called me around 9pm."
"Then did he tell Secretary Tongwan?"
"No. He said Secretary Wan didn't know about it."
Wang Youde felt like mourning his heir, and then complained:
"It's not like Public Security Li didn't try his best. For such a small matter, the relationship between him and Secretary Wan is not a matter of just one sentence."
The younger sister Xiuyu said:
"Brother, how about I go find Brother Heirloom..."
Wang Lidong hurriedly waved his hands and said:
"Xiuyu, brother, I appreciate your kindness. This matter is not worth your debt, and I have already made up my mind."
Lin Guizhi hurriedly said:
"Qinglai, what's your idea?"
"Mom, there are a lot of abandoned lands in Xingfu's hometown. I'm going to go take a look at them."
Wang Youde frowned and said:
"If you have land, do you plan to live in Xingfu's home?"
"Yes. And when I go to Hejia Village, I don't have to worry about being ostracized. And it's not far from our home, so it's very convenient to go back and forth."
Wang Youde wanted to say something else, but Lin Guizhi stopped him:
"Qing Lai, how much land are you planning to rent this time?"
"About thirty acres."
"The money needed is still the same as last time?"
"Maybe more, what's the matter, Mom?"
"Then when the time comes, you calculate how much it will cost in total, and your father and I will invest half of it."
Wang Lidong paused and then said:
"Dad, Mom, I may not grow small tomatoes this time, or not all small and medium tomatoes. So I can't guarantee whether I can make money. Are you sure you want to invest?"
Wang Youde said puzzledly:
"Why don't you plant cherry tomatoes? It's not very good. What are you going to plant? Will you make more money?"
Wang Lidong shook his head and said:
"Dad, since the end of last year, the price of cherry tomatoes has been so high, allowing farmers to make a lot of money.
Do you think there are many jealous people?"
"Many. Even in our village, many people are jealous."
"That's right. So there will definitely be more cherry tomatoes planted this year.
If the quantity increases, the price will definitely come down.
I remember at the beginning of last year, the price of small tomatoes on the market was just over 2 yuan per catty, so the maximum purchase price was no more than one yuan."
Lin Guizhi frowned and said:
"Qing Lai, if you calculate it this way, you can only earn four to five thousand from one acre of land?"
Wang Lidong said:
"When I see how the contracted land looks like, if it is abandoned for a long time and needs to be cultivated for several years, the output will definitely be much less, maybe eight or nine thousand catties. So I have to go to the market to see what I will plant this year."
.......
"Brother, big brother."
As soon as Wang Lidong returned to his new house, his younger sister Xiuyu chased him home.
"What's up?"
"Brother, please don't pull me down. You can decide how much you will buy when the time comes."
"I may not be able to make any money this year."
The younger sister Xiuyu glanced outside the door, then leaned in front of Wang Lidong and whispered:
"Brother, I know you don't want your parents to take advantage of you by investing in shares, that's why you said so miserably, right?"
"You little clever guy. Don't worry, I'll count you in when the time comes."
"Thank you, brother. I'm going to work."
"Well, ride slower!"
.....................................
Hejiacun
"Happiness, I'm back at my parents' home again."
"Happiness, how many months have it been?"
"Uncle Third, okay."
"Hello Aunt Li, it's been more than 4 months."
When the scooter stopped, the mother-in-law, who had been standing at the entrance of the courtyard for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xingfu get off the car.
"mom."
"mom."
When Mama He saw the big and small bags tied up on the motorcycle, most of the wrinkles on her smiling face disappeared.
Ever since she learned that her eldest daughter and son-in-law were planning to go back to their village to rent land, she asked the village party secretary about the situation early the next morning, and found out that there was no problem at all. She has been in a good mood.
"Mom, I can walk by myself."
"Okay, okay. Then I'll help Qinglai move things."
After moving the things on the motorcycle into the house, Wang Lidong said hello and went out.
This time is not like in the TV series, because the journey is too long and there is no place to stay, so I can't bring too much luggage.
"Mom, this is the living expenses for me and Qing Lai."
Xingfu took out three wads of money from a bag and placed them in front of his mother.
The young couple had discussed it before coming.
Even a biological child cannot live and eat for free, let alone Wang Lidong, a son-in-law.
In a few months, we will have three more little ones.
Moreover, with He’s mother’s meager income and savings, if she really didn’t give her any money, she would be afraid that it would be gone in less than a year.
He Ma was surprised and said:
"That's a lot, maybe 30,000 here, how many years of living expenses?"
"One year."
Mother He reached out and took out only 10,000 yuan, and then returned the other 20,000 yuan to her daughter.
"How can we use so much money? Vegetables and rice don't cost anything. Even if we buy meat every day, we won't use that much in a year."
Happiness pushed back another 20,000 yuan:
"Mom, you keep this money first and keep it as yours. If you can't spend it all in one year, you will continue to spend it in the second year. We don't only live for one year. Don't you want Qing Lai and I to go home?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Mom wants you to live here forever. Okay, then Mom will keep the money first. By the way, it will cost a lot of money for you to rent the land to build a greenhouse. Whether the money is enough, not enough, Mom's here
There are still tens of thousands of dollars..."
"Mom, we have already prepared the money to rent the land to build a greenhouse."
Hearing what her eldest daughter said, Mother He was relieved.
"Do you really plan to live at home? Your parents-in-law didn't say anything? Is happiness your idea?"
"Qing Lai's parents didn't say anything about his idea. Mom, did you change the bed for me?"
"It's changed. Let's see if it works. What if..."
............................
Mother He took Wang Lidong and his wife to their village committee.
When he saw the village party secretary, he said hello:
"Third brother."
"Third uncle."
"Third uncle."
The village party secretary’s surname is He, and he is He Xuxing’s distant uncle.
Uncle He smiled and nodded:
"Our family is so happy that we are marrying the right person. He is much more mellow than last year. This is a happy man, his name is..."
Wang Lidong hurriedly said:
"Third uncle, my name is Wang Qinglai, you can just call me Qinglai."
As he spoke, he took out a pack of brand new Huazi from his pocket, opened it, took out one, gave it to his third uncle, and then spread it around the other three people in the office.
"Huazi, it's a good smoke. Hey, Qinglai, why don't you smoke?"
"Uncle Third, I don't smoke."
"Okay, it's better if you don't smoke."
As Uncle He spoke, he lit the flower and took a nice puff.
"Happiness, do you really want to own 30 acres of land?"
Happiness nodded and said:
"Yes. Third uncle, it's best to stay closer to my house."
"Don't worry, your mother said hello to me two days ago. Not far from your home, there is land owned by Guapi, Peanut, and Shitou, totaling 33 acres. How about it?"
Xingfu looked at his man, Wang Lidong said:
"Uncle Third, can you let me take a look?"
"What's not to see here, Xiao Jin, you take Qing here and there..."
...
A quarter of an hour later, Uncle He saw Xiao Jin and Wang Lidong reentering the village committee and asked:
"Qinglai, I've seen it, what do you think?"
"fine."
"Then let's get it done today?"
"OK!"
Currently, land contract contracts have a standard format, so the village committee staff quickly drew up the contract and gave a copy to Wang Lidong.
The rent for one piece of land is 350 yuan/mu/year.
Cheap.
After reading the contract once and having Xingfu read it again, Wang Lidong signed his name to the contractor (Party B).
