The meal was not delicious. Within three days after the meal, Li Qingyun and his family brought a matchmaker to formally visit Yang Yunu and his family. In addition to a bunch of gifts, they also gave them a deposit of 88,000 yuan.
The deposit is also called a deposit, and in big cities outside it is called an engagement. In the countryside, there is no trick. Only after the deposit is paid, the woman will think that the man is sincere.
In the local area, eight thousand is usually high. Li Qingyun gave eight thousand to Yang Yunu's family, which was more than an ordinary person could handle for a whole trip. Anyway, if you have money, you can give face to your cousin. In Shiliba Village, the news will spread.
Nice to hear.
At the dinner table, in front of her aunt, Chen Xiuzhi put the jade bracelet she was wearing on Yang Yunu, saying that it was an ancestral inheritance and was given to her by Li Qingyun's grandmother. Now that Li Qingyun is getting engaged, this
Naturally, the bracelet must be handed over to Yang Yunu.
There was no way to refuse this. Yang Yunu blushed and asked her future mother-in-law to wear it on her hand. This jadeite bracelet has a very good color, turquoise, and has good light transmittance, like glass. Wear it on Yang Yunu's Qishang
There is an indescribable sense of beauty on Sai Xue's wrist, which is harmonious and natural.
Li Qingyun's two biological aunts also came to accompany them. They heard that their nephew was rich, and the pledges he gave to Yang Yunu's family amounted to ** million. They were so affectionate to each other that they asked him how he earned it and when he would give it to his cousin.
Brothers, please give me some tips on how to make a fortune.
Li Qingyun smiled and said that it was grown by farming. He said that if some of his cousins wanted to farm, they could learn from their farm. As long as they were diligent, there would be no problem with farming.
The two aunts just thought he was joking. If they could make so much money from farming, they would have already become rich. There was no need to ask Li Qingyun for advice.
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Li Qingyun had no choice. After a while, these old cousins became anxious and came to ask for advice on how to make a fortune. It would not be too late to show them a clear path.
When they went back, Yang Yunu's family saw them off, but they heard someone quarreling in the village. Li Qingyun didn't want to watch the fun, but he saw Tang Yuelian's family walking out with their daughter with red eyes from crying, cursing, and happened to be leaving with Li Qingyun's group.
Head on.
Some of Chen Ergou's people persuaded and some helped to argue. But Chen Ergou had a livid face and said nothing. When he saw Li Qingyun, he just snorted bitterly and turned around to go back.
Tang Yuelian's family also recognized Li Qingyun and the matchmaker's second aunt. Their faces were a little embarrassed and inexplicably angry. They walked over with a straight face and said nothing.
They took a small road and planned to return to Tangzhuang from the mountain road. They only walked with Li Qingyun and his party for a while, and then they parted ways.
Li Qingyun's parents didn't understand who these people were and why they were glaring at their own family. Only when they were halfway there did they hear the matchmaker explain the reason.
Chen Xiuzhi said suddenly: "So that's Tang Yuelian. This family is really vicious and unreasonable. We didn't offend her, but she actually glared at us. Fortunately, we didn't get married to her family. We had only been married for a few days, and her mother's family actually
I don’t know what happened when a quarrel came to my door. If the commotion becomes loud and the whole village knows about it, how will I live in the future?”
The second aunt, the matchmaker, said: "Never mind them, they didn't get my permission. If they quarrel after marriage, I don't need to persuade them. Haha, to put it bluntly, if Fuwa and Baini quarrel after marriage, I will be the matchmaker.
Even if I break my leg running away, I will still help to mediate."
Li Qingyun's family laughed and said that the two of them were in a good relationship, how could they quarrel, but they still thanked the second aunt for her kindness.
While joking, we crossed the river and returned to the territory of Lijiazhai.
Village chief Li Tianlai happened to be coming from the fishing center. When he saw Li Qingyun, he hurriedly called out to him: "Fuwa, I have something to see you for!"
Li Qingyun asked his family to go back first. He ran to the village chief, first offered a cigarette and asked, "What's so urgent?"
Li Tianlai took the cigarette and took a puff before saying: "I know you are going to get engaged today, so I shouldn't bother you, but if I don't tell you about this, I feel guilty."
Li Qingyun didn't speak and asked him to speak slowly.
"Today, a city man thought of leasing land in our village. He didn't want to cultivate the good land. He just wanted to contract a barren mountain to develop it himself. The price offered was not low. I didn't agree with it at first, but he had a good background and called Deputy Hong from the town.
"Chief. You know how smart Deputy Mayor Hong is. When he talked about a bunch of policies and persuaded the town to support them, I couldn't refuse," Li Tianlai said.
Li Qingyun asked in confusion: "Oh? Is there any problem with this? I have heard that people from the city came to lease land before, but the traffic was so bad that they ended up losing one year's contract payment and ran away before the contract expired.
. Now someone comes to contract the barren hills, and the price is acceptable. Your village committee only needs to agree. What do you want to do with me?"
Li Tianlai hesitated and continued: "The place he is interested in is south of you, closer to the town market. It is an undeveloped barren mountain. Part of the land originally belonged to the town, but Deputy Mayor Hong said that as long as
I agree to contract, and those disputed boundaries can be used by our Lijiazhai."
Li Qingyun frowned and thought for a moment before saying: "To the south of my farm? Closer to the market in Qinglong Town? Oh...I remembered, it's a bit off, a bit far from the main road, and it's similar to the height of my hillside. There are many
No one has planted it this year, just because it is far away from the main road, so why would anyone be contracting it now?"
Li Tianlai scratched his head and said even more embarrassedly: "I also thought it was quite strange. I eavesdropped on their conversation at the toilet door while they were going to the toilet. It seemed that they mentioned you, and the words they said were not good. According to them
The meaning of the description is like opening a similar farm to compete with you. I don't know what kind of hatred there is between you, so I can't make up my mind, so I came to ask you specifically. If we are really enemies and deliberately come to cause harm, I would rather offend you.
Deputy Mayor Hong will not let that kid succeed."
Li Qingyun finally understood the reason why the village chief Rao was so crooked, and said with a smile: "It turns out that someone wants to compete with me and open a similar farm? What is that person's name?"
"What's your name, Xu Jingshou? From the way Deputy Mayor Hong flatters him, it seems that his family is also an official. His father's position is at least higher than that of Deputy Mayor Hong," Li Tianlai said.
Li Qingyun smiled and said with a relaxed expression: "Xu Jingshou? Haha, we are such an old acquaintance! If you put it like that, I know the reason. His father is the director of the county government office, and he has a good background. But you don't have to worry about me, as long as you give me
The price is right, you can contract it, but don’t contract it for too long, three to five years is enough. After all, every plant and tree we have here will be very valuable in the future.”
Li Tianlai saw that Li Qingyun was not angry, and then he relaxed: "We haven't talked about the contract time yet, we only talked about a vague price, about 100,000 yuan a year, and the small barren mountain and a pond at the foot of the mountain are all for their use. Hong
The deputy mayor thought it was expensive and asked us to make it cheaper, so I pretended to discuss it with the villagers and haven't given them a formal reply yet."
Li Qingyun smiled and said: "One hundred thousand yuan a year to contract that small barren mountain, the price is about the same. But the time must be stuck, the contract can be signed for up to three years. If they want to contract for more than ten years, you can increase the price and say that it has been done here.
Farmhouse development has a lot of room for appreciation in the future. If the contract is contracted for ten years, it will be at least 200,000 yuan per year."
"Two hundred thousand a year? This is too much! The reason why I dare to offer one hundred thousand is because I don't want to agree to them, for fear that they will ruin your farm business. Then... I will listen to you... When they come again tomorrow,
That's my answer." After Li Tian said this, he chatted with Li Qingyun about daily life and asked him to go to his son's fishing ground to help with some advice. He said that he knew technology and had made a fortune, so he had to take care of his family's health.
strong.
While Li Qingyun agreed, he said that his son was disobedient. He asked him to lower the fish density last time, but he didn't listen. In the end, a lot of fish died before the density was lowered. But within a few days, he actually replanted the fish again.
.
This made Li Qingyun completely give up the idea of giving advice to Li Zhuangzhuang. This guy's head has long been distorted. He thought that raising one more animal would mean making more money for one. He did not consider quality issues or scientific breeding issues at all.
Early the next morning, Li Qingyun squatted by the eel pond and added space spring water to it. The eels grew very fast, and because they often consumed space spring water, they were wild and very good-looking. The big one inside grew by August 15th.
Some of them can be fished out and put on the market. However, Li Qingyun is not in a hurry to sell them because he is afraid of affecting other eels.
A black car stopped at the iron gate, and two men got out. They were Xu Jingshou and Deputy Mayor Hong who were mentioned yesterday. They looked proud. Xu Jingshou stood at the iron gate and shouted:
"Li Qingyun, you are doing well here! Last time at your class reunion, I heard that you made a fortune from planting and breeding, so I came here to learn from you! Haha, open the door, we are old friends, we won't be connected
You won’t even let me in through the gate, right?”
I have a friendship with your sister! Looking at the bad look on your face, it’s just a shame. You want me to open the door? Huh huh... forget it, seeing as this kid is not far away for dozens of miles to reclaim the barren hills for himself, let them
Come in.
Barren hills cannot be reclaimed if you want to. Even if the reclamation is successful, you cannot grow whatever you want. In three years, the weeds alone will give you a headache. Besides, who do you think grew the vegetables?
Can they all be sold at sky-high prices?
I don’t even think about how many farmers’ vegetables have rotted in the fields this year. If Li Qingyun hadn’t purchased part of the cabbage to feed the chickens, the farmers in this village would have suffered huge losses.
When you lose so much that you even sell your pants, the cruel reality will let you know how tragic it is to be neighbors with a rich man. The strong contrast will make your psychological gap increase dozens of times.
"Haha, it turns out it's Young Master Xu. Why don't you enjoy the blessings in the city and why do you go to our countryside?" Li Qingyun said, walked to the iron gate, opened it, and let them in.
Xu Jingshou was very proud at this time, as if the two of them were really friends: "I am serious, I really came to learn from you about planting experience. Recently, I have discussed with Qin Yao, and I plan to use the money from opening a store to invest in a small farm.
Well, it’s just south of you, next to the market, and it will be convenient to sell vegetables in the town in the future.”
Li Qingyun’s balls hurt when he heard that he sells vegetables in the town? The kind of low prices unique to the local area will make you unable to cry. I really don’t know where this guy’s head was damaged, but he actually went to show off his power on his own territory.
