In the next half month, everyone went around, eating and drinking, eating here and there, and soon it was the Lantern Festival.
Cheng Tianyuan and Liu Ying got up early in the morning to make glutinous rice balls and a large pot of millet porridge.
Seeing no one around, Liu Ying couldn't help but ask: "When you accompanied your father back to Chengjia Village yesterday, did you meet the village chief?"
"I met him." Cheng Tianyuan replied: "The village chief is in the village every day. As soon as my father and I arrived there, he immediately ran out and chatted a lot."
"What did you say?" Liu Ying frowned and asked, "Which family wants to borrow money and he helps to ask for it?"
Ever since Cheng Tianyuan's family's economic conditions improved and they bought a car and a house, many villagers have come to borrow money from their family under different excuses. As the head of a village, the village chief is often pushed to come and ask for help.
"No." Cheng Tianyuan replied: "He said that the town is going to build an economic development zone at the entrance of our village to attract investment. More than 80% of the land in our village is in that area and has been expropriated. Recently, villagers often go to the town to cause trouble.
, we have to raise the price, otherwise we will destroy it. He said that the largest piece of land in the village is the one bought by my wife, and he hopes that for the sake of collective interests, my wife will quickly join the villagers in making trouble."
Liu Ying frowned and asked, "What's the fuss about? If they don't do it, wouldn't it be all in vain? Are they going to sell it or not?"
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "If we don't sell it, how much can we earn from just planting some corn and vegetables per acre of land a year? Those lands are not fertile land, and there are not many big water sources. If you can take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, it will be pretty good.
Okay. It’s just that they want to sell it at a high price all at once, so they have to make a fuss.”
Liu Ying thought about it and said: "To be honest, our village only has a large piece of land. If it is all requisitioned, there will be no land left in the future. It is understandable to ask for a higher price at one time."
of."
We are all farmers. If we can't make any money, at least we still have some land to grow some plants for food. If we lose all the land, we will feel worried.
Cheng Tianyuan nodded: "That's why everyone was making trouble and raising the price again and again. I heard that some people even went to the mayor's office a while ago. The village chief was also worried that the villagers would have no way out in the future, so he
I hope we can get a higher price.”
Liu Ying thought of her daughter-in-law and quickly asked: "What do you think Lingling said? We have booked a flight for the day after tomorrow, and we can't refund it, right?"
"It should be possible to withdraw, but Lingling doesn't want to go at all." Cheng Tianyuan said: "She said from the beginning that if they want to cause trouble, she agrees with selling land. She said that we can't all rely on farming, otherwise life will be too difficult.
.As for the price, she pays what others sell, and everyone’s price is the same.”
Liu Ying couldn't help but whisper: "If this is the case, the village chief may blame our family... for not following the trend and not contributing."
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan said: "Yesterday the village chief said that although we don't live there, we are all villagers there. The land and houses are all over there. We can't always ignore the important events in the village."
"We don't live there anymore, how can we take care of it?" Liu Ying felt angry when she heard this, and loudly said: "We are all moving to the imperial capital, is it possible that we can go back every day to take care of the affairs of the village? We are going to cause trouble.
They are going to make trouble, but we don’t want them!”
Cheng Tianyuan said with a smile: "You can't say that. The village chief just wants us villagers to unite and maximize our interests. But the villagers are not very obedient. They are making trouble now and then that, and his forehead hurts.
, I don’t know what to do, so I hope my wife and I can help come up with ideas.”
Liu Ying asked: "What's your idea? Have you come up with it?"
"I didn't." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Before my father and I went there, Lingling told me that we were on the same page as the villagers, and we would pay as much as they sold. In addition, she suggested that the village chief communicate with the boss and not always make mistakes.
A lot of people went to make trouble. They also said that the villagers could be given priority in getting jobs, that is, after the factory opened, the villagers in the village could go to work in it, and priority should be given to ensure that the villagers have a stable job. In this case, there would be no need
There are too many worries.”
Liu Ying nodded hurriedly: "Yes! You have to do this! Otherwise, where will you get food to eat in the future? Right? The land belongs to the villagers, every household has it, it's just a certain amount. You can share some money and have a stable job."
, life will be better from now on."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "I have already talked with the village chief, and he thinks this suggestion is very good. He also said that the villagers really can't make trouble all the time, otherwise the leaders above will be angry and may not work on the project.
Having this big project is a good thing."
Liu Ying snorted coldly: "He is like a two-headed snake. He says this now and that now. If you don't speak up, you might even go to the villagers and say bad things about us."
"No." Cheng Tianyuan explained warmly: "The village chief just has to take care of more people in the village, and he doesn't have much knowledge. He is occasionally a little impulsive in his actions and words. But his intentions are not bad, and he also does his duty to benefit the villagers. This
I still have to praise him."
"Okay!" Liu Ying said: "We'll wait until the land is sold... Lingling's land must be profitable, right? One acre was worth about 40 yuan back then, right?"
"Two prices." Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "As mentioned above, one acre of land is 200 yuan. No matter which price we bought it at, it was several times higher."
Liu Ying laughed and whispered: "At the beginning, I always thought that those lands could not be farmed and it was difficult to buy them. Ling Ling insisted on buying them. I told your father many things. He later told me that my son and daughter-in-law
If you want to do it, just do it and let’s not worry about it. I didn’t expect that the price has increased so much in just a few years!”
"It's not just that!" Cheng Tianyuan said with a smile: "The higher-ups said it was so much, but the villagers refused, and it has been raised to 250 yuan. Now many people say it should be 300 yuan per acre. I think the minimum should be
It’s also three hundred.”
"Oh!" Liu Ying was overjoyed and said, "That's great! Lingling is really great! From now on, you have to discuss everything with her. She makes so much money."
"I know." Cheng Tianyuan said, "I've finished cooking the glutinous rice balls and called everyone over to eat. In the afternoon, we have to pack our luggage. In the evening, Amin and I will go to other tenants to talk about the situation."
"Isn't it finished yet?" Liu Ying asked.
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "It's almost done, only these few households are left. Amin was in a bad mood a while ago and had to take care of Cuiliu's sister-in-law, so I didn't call him. Just finish it tonight."
"By the way, Ahu and Wang Qing went to the provincial capital yesterday." Liu Ying explained: "When they came over, you happened to be away."
"It's okay. I told you to call me if you have any questions." Cheng Tianyuan said: "The survivor in the spring arrived in the provincial capital a few days ago. He asked his friends to keep an eye on him, otherwise he would have gone up long ago."
Liu Ying stood up with a smile, "It's all ready! I'll cook glutinous rice balls! You go and call them over to eat!"
