The village chief shook his head and whispered: "My monthly salary is only half of yours, so why should I buy a mobile phone! That thing is so expensive!"
Chang Bo couldn't help but ask: "Don't you still have rent for your family? I remember that there is a huge piece of land at the entrance of your village. Isn't it all rented?"
"Rented." The village chief smiled bitterly: "But the rent was all used by my son to start a business, and I didn't have any money."
Chang Bo smiled and whispered: "If I can do business, I will make a lot of money for you sooner or later."
"Don't think too much." The village chief snorted coldly: "If he can take care of his own little family first, I will be satisfied."
Chang Bo stood up and said, "I'll borrow a phone from the village committee to make a call."
"Don't go!" Cheng Muhai took his arm and said, "Ayuan has a mobile phone, I asked him to call it for you. You are just sick, but Xiao Liang from the clinic said you can't run around yet, nor can you do heavy work."
Chang Bo nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll bother A Yuan. This is the neighbor's phone number. Please pass it on."
"Yeah." Cheng Muhai looked unhappy and snorted: "Just say you have money and they will be there in a minute."
Chang Bo sighed quietly and said nothing more.
The village chief continued to smoke cigarettes and squinted at the blue sky.
Chang Bo couldn't help but ask: "You don't have to go to work?"
"I'm here to see Ayuan's wife." The village chief explained: "I have something to ask her."
Although Changbo was old, his curiosity had not diminished at all, so he asked, "What's going on?"
The village chief replied: "Someone wants to buy land at the entrance of the village. Let me help ask. All the good land outside our village was bought by A Yuan's wife more than ten years ago."
Chang Bo remembered these things and asked: "Isn't it... rented out? At that time, they were building a factory and rented it to our village!"
"There are still more than thirty acres." The village chief explained: "It was always growing grass, but then I asked A Yuan, and A Yuan said that the villagers should plant crops if they want to. As long as they are from our village, they will get one cent.
There is no need to pay for rent. But if they want to use it at home, they have to return it immediately. Recently, the son of an old friend wanted to buy a piece of land, saying he wanted to build a plastic shoe factory. After searching around, he felt that the land at the entrance of the village is good. It is a few steps away.
It's a main road, easy to get in and out. He came to me, and I said I should wait and ask A Yuan's house to see if they wanted to sell it."
Cheng Muhai couldn't help but curiously asked: "How much did it cost when I bought it? I forgot."
The village chief thought for a while and replied: "It was very cheap more than ten years ago. One acre was only more than 100 or 200 yuan. I have forgotten the exact amount. In short, the price has gone up a lot! Do you know? Now one acre is
It costs thousands!"
"So many?" Chang Bo and Cheng Muhai were both shocked and asked, "How many are there? How many thousand can there be?"
The village chief replied: "About five thousand. Because the land is right next to the main road outside and is in a good location, it is more valuable. If it were on the side of our mountain, such as this large piece of land in front of Ahai Villa, it would not be so
many."
Cheng Muhai became very interested for a moment and asked: "About how much is it?"
The village chief made a gesture and replied: "Between two thousand and three thousand. A piece of land like Ahai must be around two thousand five. You see, there is the village road in front of this door, and the place is flat. The key is that it is a complete piece of land."
It’s boxy and can be used easily.”
Chang Bo was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but persuade: "Ah Hai! The land your father reclaimed for you is now worth a lot of money! That's great! Now that one acre is so much, that's tens of thousands!"
The village chief said "Oh!" and said, "Needless to say, fifty thousand is definitely available."
Chang Bo clicked his tongue several times.
Cheng Muhai was also very excited.
After a while, he went upstairs to find his son and asked Cheng Tianyuan to make a call.
At this time, Xue Ling changed clothes and came out, greeted him, and then went downstairs to eat.
"Ling!" Cheng Muhai chased her down and explained to her what the village chief had just said, saying: "I didn't expect it was so cheap when I bought it, but the price has risen so much after more than ten years! If I sell it, I can make many times the profit.
Woolen cloth!"
Xue Ling smiled and said: "In the past ten years, the economy has developed rapidly. Big cities are rising with each passing day, and small rural areas are also developing rapidly. Our village has built many two- and three-story buildings. We must have plenty of money to build beautiful buildings.
buildings. When the local economy improves, the land becomes more valuable!"
"That's right!" Cheng Muhai couldn't help but nodded and said: "In the past, it was all about farming, and no one used the land for other purposes. It's different now. People say they want to buy it to build factories."
Liu Ying, who was having breakfast in the kitchen, heard this and asked with a smile: "Ling Ling, can you sell it? If you sell it, you will make a lot of money at once!"
"Of course not for sale." Xue Ling replied firmly, turned around and made a bowl of porridge, then sat down to eat.
Cheng Muhai and Liu Ying looked at each other, feeling incredible.
At this time, the village chief and Chang Bo came in.
The village chief went straight to the point, greeted Xue Ling enthusiastically, and then immediately asked about the matter.
Xue Ling smiled and shook his head: "I won't sell it."
The village chief was slightly stunned, and whispered in confusion: "A Yuan's wife, this price is already the highest in the nearby places, there is nothing higher than this. You and A Yuan and the whole family are out, so you don't want to come back for the time being, right?"
Your family has enough land, why don’t you sell some of it?”
"I won't sell more." Xue Ling explained: "First, we don't lack such a little money now. The land is an important real estate in the family and cannot be sold unless it is absolutely necessary. Second, we are from Chengjia Village after all. Here
This is our hometown. Even if we don’t live here, we will return to our hometown sooner or later. For example, my parents, and Ayuan, are very traditional people, and they all have the idea of returning to their roots. We now have no choice but to work hard outside.
, but this is our hometown, and sooner or later we have to go home and return to our roots."
After hearing this, Liu Ying and Cheng Muhai both laughed, with tears twinkling in the corners of their eyes.
The day after her daughter-in-law got married, she went to the county town. From then on, she took her son further and further away, even to the largest city in the country for development, and settled her family in the imperial capital.
After all, she was born in a big city, so there is no way she would like a small rural village like Chengjiacun.
So they all secretly guessed that their son and daughter-in-law would never have the idea of returning to the South in the future.
Unexpectedly, she actually thinks so in her heart...
It’s not in vain that they love her so much!
The village chief smiled, with relief on his gloomy face.
"A Yuan's daughter-in-law must be happy if she thinks so. Have you ever thought about selling a little bit of it? For example, about ten acres of land?"
"No." Xue Ling said with a smile: "Uncle Village Chief, let's be honest, when the family is not short of life-saving money, we can never sell real estate, especially land. Although we only have the right to use it, not ownership, we still can't
Sell it. In the future, these lands will be passed on to the descendants and shared by them, with their names written on them."
Although the village chief was a little disappointed, he didn't take it seriously.
"If you think so...that's the best thing. To be honest, the land in our village is still used by the villagers, so that everyone can rest assured. At the beginning, I advised everyone to buy some, because the land outside is really good.
It's a pity that no one is willing to listen to me, except for you, sister-in-law, who bought 70% to 80% of the price. In recent years, many people have approached me and said they want to buy it, but there are no policies from the top, so how can they sell it? Especially in recent years, the villagers have seen
The land is getting more expensive year by year, and everyone is complaining about regret! But what's the use of regret!"
Xue Ling pursed her lips and smiled lowly, and said: "I think what you said, uncle village chief, makes sense, so I bought it quickly."
