A sudden phone call interrupted the conversation.
Wen Shanshan turned on her phone and saw that it was her father's call, so she had to walk to the other side to answer the call.
Wang Yanmei and Xu Fuqiang did not forget business.
The couple went out in the afternoon specifically to ask about Bao Shan, and they just came back.
Xu Fuqiang said excitedly, "Qingzhi, my dad has figured out everything about Baoshan. There is no problem. The village was very happy to hear that our family has Baoshan. They said that all the young workers in the village have gone away, and other villages have also
A few came back to do construction, but our village in Taoshui Village has only a small number of people. Since the person who planted flowers and trees in Baoshan stopped doing it a few years ago, the mountains in our village have been left there."
Wang Yanmei continued, and said quickly, "I asked about the piece of land next to our mountain and further back. It is closer than the other hills. An acre of the mountain costs 300 yuan, and the field below can be covered by 510 acres."
The village chief heard that we planned to plant fruit trees, and he also said that the country now has a subsidy policy, and the subsidy is estimated to be 100 yuan per acre."
At the end, Xu Fuqiang subconsciously asked, "Qingzhi, what do you think?"
After all, Qingzhi is the only college student in the family, so he must think more comprehensively.
Now when there is any problem at home, the couple will subconsciously ask Qingzhi for his opinion.
Xu Qingzhi nodded and said, "If you think it's good, then let's do it. I have no objection."
The couple's hands were clenched into fists with excitement, and their faces were full of joy. They felt that just thinking about it made the future days more promising.
The hard days in the past are finally over.
When Xu Qingzhi saw the joy on her parents' faces, she was also happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Then dad is going to talk about Baoshan now!" Xu Fuqiang said impatiently.
Jiang Xiao on the side gave his own suggestion in time, "Auntie, uncle, do you want to take a look at the mountain you want to contract for? Make a rough plan in mind. This way, when the time comes to talk about the contract, you will have something in mind.
Count."
Wang Yanmei clapped her hands and said, "Xiao Jiang is right, let's go check out the place first and have a good idea."
The mountain you want to contract is not far away.
So, the three members of the Xu family drove their tricycles to check out the site.
When they arrived at the place, Xu Fuqiang pointed to the bare mountain and said his plan, "Qingzhi, look, that's it. This is actually connected to the mountain behind our house. Dad's idea is this, you
Let’s see if it works.”
"The bayberry grown in our family tastes good, and it probably has something to do with the fact that the mountain faces the sunny side. So you see that this part of the mountain is also on the sunny side, so we will cover this half, and we won't want the farther back side. We can use the flat land below.
Then cover a few acres to grow vegetables. When I have money, I will cover the whole place next year. Dig a big pond to raise fish, plan a place to raise seedlings, grow vegetables in other areas, and grow some grapes you like to eat.
Strawberries or something."
This mountain is U-shaped, semi-encircled in shape, and the terrain at the bottom of the mountain is flat and open. After so many years of changes, the land has become patchy, with clear ridges.
Xu Qingzhi knew that there were still people cooking this kind of food when he was a child. Nowadays, people in the village are either moving to the city or to the more convenient Daji Village. These lands are abandoned and no one cares about them.
"Okay, but..." Xu Qingzhi frowned.
Wang Yanmei thought there was something wrong, "But what?"
"I remember when I was a kid, weren't the mountains here full of trees? Why did they become bare?" Xu Qingzhi was too curious.
Wang Yanmei sighed, "Do you remember that fat uncle who always liked to tease you with lollipops? His parents died one after another the year before last, his child also died in a car accident, and his wife ran away. It was just him, the year before last.
When I went to the mountain to worship during the Chinese New Year, I accidentally set the mountain on fire. It burned half of the mountain, and the mountain became bald like this. He went to jail and was sentenced to three years. He should be released next year. What a pitiful man." After Xu Qingzhi listened, he felt that the hemp rope was specially cut at the thinnest part.
The fat uncle was quite nice. When he was young, he had no money. Even though his parents were poor, they still lent him money.
He later worked part-time in Zhoucheng and earned some money. Every year when he came back during the Chinese New Year, he would always buy something for his parents and snacks for her.
It's just that when Xu Qingzhi grew up, he was away from home all year round, and his parents never specifically talked about these neighborhood things.
So she only knows now.
"Your uncle Fatty is quite a good person, he is loyal and honest. It's unfortunate that this happened. The village now publicizes every Chinese New Year that people should pay attention to fire prevention when going to the mountain to worship." Xu Fuqiang sighed, waved his hand, "Don't tell me.
Now that we are optimistic about this, we will go and negotiate with the village about Baoshan as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more changes in the future."
Xu Fuqiang was driving a tricycle and was about to leave when an old man carrying a hoe walked over.
The old man’s trouser legs were half-tied, and the lower parts were covered with mud. He said with a smile, “Fuqiang, I heard that your family is going to cover the mountain.”
"Uncle, I haven't even written my horoscope yet." Xu Fuqiang responded with a smile.
This is how news in the village spreads very quickly.
If you encounter gossip, it will not only be quick, but adding fuel and jealousy will make you happy.
So it’s not surprising that the other party would know that the Xu family wanted to Baoshan.
"A while ago, a big truck came to your house to haul bayberries every day. Is it because the bayberries have made a lot of money and you want to plant a mountain of fruit trees?" The old man came closer, put down the hoe, and inquired.
Xu Fuqiang smiled and shook his head, "Wherever you can make a lot of money, it's just enough to live on."
The old man smiled and said, "Don't lie to me, old man. Even though I'm hard of hearing, I've heard that the vegetables your daughter grows at home are sold in big cities, and she also spends money to hire people to pick vegetables. She can make a lot of money."
."
Xu Fuqiang was not good at hiding it. His honest face just smiled and said nothing.
The old man put his hoe on his back and said, "Okay, I don't have anything to do. I just want to ask. By the way, I heard that your family wants to grow cherries? I told my daughter, and she said that our land and environment are not good.
Suitable for planting. My daughter was admitted to the Ph.D. in Agriculture the year before last. She knows best which places are suitable for planting. Our grapes taste better than others. It’s because of her good guidance.”
Xu Fuqiang nodded.
"Okay, I'm leaving. I have to go to the fields to have a look." Seeing that no one was talking to him, the old man said and walked away with his hoe.
This old man is also from Taoshui Village, but he is not very familiar with the Xu family and has basically no contact, so Wang Yanmei did not ask Xu Qingzhi to call someone.
When they walked away, Wang Yanmei frowned and said, "Fuqiang, let's take over all the land here. Don't wait until you have money to do it, so as not to cause more trouble later."
"Well, the area up the hill behind our house is also covered."
The couple originally wanted to be on the safe side and rent out half a mountain and a few acres of land.
Now it coincides with each other, so please give me more information.
Anyway, I still have money in my hand.
A family of three rode a tricycle directly to the village chief's house to confirm that they would pack the mountain.
Xu Qingzhi mainly helps read the contract, and her parents make the final decision.
The village chief persuaded the Xu family to cover the entire mountain, which would save them all the trouble. Moreover, the backside was covered with camellia trees. In the second half of the year, harvesting the tea seeds and pressing them into oil would still be a source of income.
