Chapter 53 Contracting Puddles
(Thanks to my friend Baby Panda and 08a for rewarding and encouraging)

The wine at noon was quite good.A small consequence is that the seedbeds that are going to be made are temporarily stranded.

Zhang Zhu was very happy, he was very happy to guide, and then he drank too much.Now that he is sleeping soundly at Liu Fugui's house, we can only wait for this "technician" to wake up.

Liu Fugui went to the construction site on the other side of the shed to have a look, and then took Lele in his arms and strolled to the village head Jiang Zhigui's house.

What Zhang Zhu said today did inspire him to a certain extent, and it also made his idea of ​​getting the pit at the bottom of the mountain more intense.

"Hey, why are you a busy man here?" Jiang Zhigui, who was drying beans in the yard, asked with a smile.

"Uncle, I beg you to come here for something. I plan to contract out the puddle outside our village, and then let my ducks and geese swim in it, and there will be a place for them to graze." Liu Fugui After putting Lele on the ground, he said.

"Is there an acre of land over there? If I contract it, I plan to expand it to the side a little bit, and fill some of the excavated soil into the big shed I got."

"You are honest, boy. You are actually interested in the soil over there, right?" Jiang Zhigui took out a cigarette and lit it and said with a smile.

"Hey, there are both aspects. Didn't someone build a fish pond there before? Although there is not much water left now, I plan to dig it down again." Liu Fugui said with a smile.

"There is no way this year, and the money on hand is almost exhausted. Let's see in the coming year. If there is a chance, I will raise some fish and shrimp. But the main thing is to find a place where my ducks and geese can be raised. Otherwise, in the It’s really too much effort to put them on the mountain. I plan to raise more in the future, and it’s very troublesome to go up the mountain every day.”

Jiang Zhigui nodded, "Ducks and geese play in the water. Of course you can't keep driving up the mountain. But you have to think about it. Although the boundary over there is okay, you have to pump a lot of water into it." .”

"Our side is not as good as other places. Even if you dig a well, you have to dig a deep well. That's a lot of money. If you don't make it, you will have to spend it in vain."

Liu Fugui didn't lie when he came here, the soil in that puddle is much more useful than raising fish and ducks.He has nothing to say here, anyway, Murakami will not be rich if he has more money.

"Uncle, if I dig out two acres of land over there and make it a little deeper, how much will the contract fee be?" Liu Fugui asked.

Jiang Zhigui took a puff of cigarette, "If you don't take the soil, it will be very cheap. No one will say 500 yuan a year. But if you take the soil, it will add another 5000 yuan in total."

"Our land here is precious, and many people want to dig there, but I refuse to let it go. I have to give the big guy an explanation."

"Well, uncle, how long is the contract period? Can I pay in installments? I'm a little tight right now." Liu Fugui said with some embarrassment.

Jiang Zhigui glanced at him, nodded with a smile, "Contract, up to 30 years. You can choose the time, and the money will give you three years, no problem, right?"

"I'm also looking forward to what you can do. Our Lijiagou side really doesn't have any other income except for this little mountainous land. It's not like other places where you can get some fruit trees or something."

Liu Fugui nodded, "Just give me a little time. Anyway, I can sell some pigs, chickens, ducks and geese this winter, and I can get back some money. Uncle, then you can write an agreement and get it done." , I will sign it."

"Why are you panicking? You have to tell me how many years you plan to keep it. I have to meet with the people from the village committee anyway, but this is fine, just that stinky puddle. If you go back ten or eight years Yes, I guess there are still people who can remember it." Jiang Zhigui said with a smile.

"Let's set it up for 30 years first. When some of my pigs and chickens go out, I will pay the down payment. Within three years, all will be paid. Do you think this will work?" Liu Fugui asked.

Jiang Zhigui thought for a while and nodded, "You are safe, kid, and I'm not afraid of you coming to me empty-handed. That's it, I'll make this agreement out at night, just sign it and press your fingerprints."

He thought that Liu Fugui would give some money first this time, but it didn't matter if he thought about it.If it's a good place over there, it can't be empty all these years. The 30-year contracting right is 5000 yuan, plus 5000 yuan in land money, a total of 5 yuan.

A thousand and eight yuan will not change Murakami's finances, but 5 yuan is a huge sum of money for Lijiagou.

"Uncle, look at the land by the puddle, the big guy won't go there to plant it again?" Liu Fugui asked again.

"Don't worry, kid. That's the village's land. No one can get rich if you grow so many ridges. Don't worry about it. But we have agreed that when you dig the soil, you can't dig too much. The area of ​​two mu of land will be written in the agreement." Jiang Zhigui waved his hand.

"What's more, you also put some warning signs on the side. Don't you often play it on TV? Some people play themselves to death without paying attention, and then tell others. After you fix it, Murakami can follow. Take it easy."

"Thank you, uncle, then this matter is settled. You can go directly to my house for dinner in the evening. These days, there are always jobs at home, and there are many helpers. It is not bad for you. You are not considered bribery."

"You bastard, you're still making fun of your uncle." Jiang Zhigui cursed with a smile.

"It's not me bragging, I'm sorry for Murakami, I can eat food from anyone's family with confidence. Get out of here, I have to ask someone else, and then let the accountant get a paperwork."

Liu Fugui nodded with a smile, he was in a good mood, because he felt that it was very favorable to contract the puddle over there at such a low price.

"If you don't give money now, will others be happy? Besides, isn't [-] years too low?" Jiang Zhigui's daughter-in-law asked after Liu Fugui left with Lele in his arms.

"That's a broken puddle, and it's been put there all these years. Fifteen thousand is too low for you, and five hundred is enough for someone to take care of you. Let this kid make a fuss, maybe he can make something out of it." Jiang Zhigui shook He shook his head and said.

"Also, don't chew your tongue when you go outside. How ugly are those things you said before? Do you really think you are an official's wife? What am I, a village official?"

"Look, I'm kind enough to say that you're still crazy." Jiang Zhigui's daughter-in-law glared at him, stopped turning the beans, and went straight back into the house.

Jiang Zhigui ignored her and walked out with his hands behind his back.Liu Fugui wanted to fetch soil, so he really discussed this matter with Murakami.
