madman and kidnapper

Chapter 17 The First Pot of Gold
"I said kidnapper, we are almost done eating, I have something to talk to you about."

This Li Zhiyuan has a natural smiling face, especially now that he is fat and puffy, and when he sits there after eating, he actually looks like a Maitreya Buddha.

The kidnapper thought to himself, you can still have a business, what is your business, you can still come to me for a meal?Although he thought so in his heart, the kidnapper still didn't even lift his head, and he still poured himself "puchichi". Li Zhiyuan knew his virtue, so he didn't care, but turned his head to look at the already full meal. woman.

The woman put Guangzong aside, but also gave Li Zhiyuan face, poured herself a bowl of water to rinse her mouth, paused for a moment, and poured another bowl for Li Zhiyuan:
"What's the matter with your old man?"

Li Zhiyuan looked at the woman's unhurried manner and felt that it was very seductive, and he couldn't see the shadow of madness at the beginning, and then looked at the way the kidnapper was eating without paying attention, and his heart suddenly boiled.

"What a pity." Li Zhiyuan thought so in his heart, and actually whispered it in his mouth.

The woman obviously heard it, she raised her head and frowned at him, "What's the pity?"

Li Zhiyuan was startled, only then did he realize that he was talking bald, and hurriedly waved his hands and said haha: "It's nothing, it's like this, a foreigner wants to borrow a piece of land in our village to get a place to raise chickens, It’s the kind of running pheasant. It seems that your land is the most suitable for you. It’s far away from the village, and you can’t get any smell. It’s still on the mountain. It’s pretty good. If you can’t grow anything, you might as well give it to others, and it will be good if they give you a few chickens during the festival.”

As he spoke, he patted his thigh excitedly, as if planning for the kidnapper.

Then the kidnapper remembered his own piece of wasteland. He was only 19 years old when the land was distributed in the village. The village drew lots and grabbed the best piece of land in the village. The good land was ruined, because the land in my hand was exchanged with the kidnapper. Li Zhiyuan's land was on the mountain. I didn't know who opened up the wasteland at the beginning. It is not an exaggeration to say that the land is wasteland, boss In the first year, the kidnapper got nothing and it wasted more than half a year. The kidnapper went to respond to the village chief, but Li Zhiyuan listened to the wind and followed to the village chief's house. He kept saying that a lazy man couldn't grow crops. At that time, the relationship between the kidnapper and the village chief was still in a deteriorating stage. Seeing the village chief's suspicious expression, the kidnapper left the village chief's house in a fit of anger. From the second year on, the kidnapper So I started to discuss a hundred meals.

To say that the land is quite temperamental, the kidnapper has emptied it for so many years, except for the occasional grass, there is not even a small sapling, it is a bare piece, and it feels awkward from a long distance.

"Oh, that field."

The kidnapper swallowed the porridge in his mouth, and just about to say to use it, when the woman kicked him under the table, he almost choked.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The kidnapper choked, and looked at the woman furtively, knowing what the woman must have planned, so he decided to keep his mouth shut.

"What?" Li Zhiyuan waited for the kidnapper to continue with a smile, thinking that the kidnapper would give the land without saying a word, since nothing could grow on that land anyway.

"Well, I originally wanted to wait for the spring to plant something on that piece of land. Now that the family has a large population, I need more rations. I'm afraid..."

The kidnapper was thinking about the woman's mind, and he said haha. To be honest, he didn't want to give it to him. Even if it was left there, it would be his own after all, right?If it is given to someone else now, it will be difficult to get it back when the time comes.

The kidnapper was clear in his heart, and turned to look at the woman. The woman was sipping porridge without saying a word, obviously sitting and watching.

"What?! Just your piece of land? What else do you want to grow?"

Li Zhiyuan was startled, and then shook his head with disapproval on his face: "Don't bother thinking about it, oops! By then, how many old hens will be produced throughout the year?"

Just as the kidnapper and Li Zhiyuan were back and forth practicing Tai Chi, the woman finally said: "I said, big brother, don't bother, that piece of land is in our hands, at least we can get some rations, and we can also help that person." I don’t know the details, but at that time, it’s up to the rooster to decide whether or not we’ll be able to follow after the New Year’s repayment? When the land borrower becomes a master, we’ll follow the ass instead, so it’s not a joke. "

Li Zhiyuan has always regarded women as fools, but he didn't expect the woman to open her mouth and cut off the words directly there.

When the kidnapper saw the woman opened her mouth, he was so happy that he saved his saliva, leaned back on the quilt obediently, and drank the bottom of the last bowl.

"What! Kidnapper, the new daughter-in-law has only been in charge of the house for half a year?"

Li Zhiyuan smiled mischievously, turned his head to provoke the kidnapper, obviously not wanting to follow the woman's words.

"That's right, my woman is capable. Without her, I would still beg for food in the village."

Who knew that Kidnap wouldn't accept his tricks, and actually recognized it with a smile, as if I was proud of my soft rice.

"you……"

Li Zhiyuan was in a hurry. Before he came, he had discussed the relevant matters with the chicken farmer, and he was sure that he would be able to get the land here without any cost. Unexpectedly, things did not go as expected, Li Zhiyuan was a little anxious up.

"Hey! What should I do? I told people that people here are easy to talk to. Why do you ask me to explain it! Besides, your land doesn't even grow grass in your hands. , when you paid the tax earlier, the village paid it for you, why are you so clueless?"

The kidnapper was not happy when he heard this: "Yoyo, you also know that not even a single grass grows, you can plant it if you have the ability, and if you can produce a catty of wheat, I will give him the land for free, and grow whatever you like. "

The kidnapper and the old man are arguing over here, but the woman over there feels that the matter is almost over, and she is not sure what to do if she makes the old man anxious, so she followed his words: "It stands to reason that our land is indeed It’s not very suitable for planting anything, but fortunately, it has a large area, and the kidnapper and I have just had a smooth life, and there is no specific plan, and it is really useless in our hands for the time being.”

Li Zhiyuan nodded hastily when he heard that there was something interesting, and was just about to express his promise about the chicken, but the woman's next words made him completely uneasy.

"Let's do this," the woman pondered for a while, "We don't need to bother to say how many chickens we give in the New Year and how many eggs we usually give. Let's sign a contract for renting the land. The rent should be as much as the monthly rent, and the rent will be paid annually. Just give it to him."

"What's the matter, is it still necessary to rent it if no one wants it?"

Li Zhiyuan's mouth was trembling, obviously he didn't expect a woman to think of this.

really!Kidnap's eyes lit up, he knew that the woman had an idea, but he never thought that it was the plan.According to the kidnapper's way of thinking, the most he can do is to ask for a few more chickens. It's still a woman's idea!
The kidnapper was happy to see the joke, and continued to suck yo with an empty bowl.

Li Zhiyuan's face turned into a pig's liver, and he spit out a sentence after a while: "How much do you plan to want?"

The woman seemed to be waiting for Li Zhiyuan's words, and then stretched out two fingers unhurriedly, "Two-year rent, 1500 a month, a total of 3, you can pay once a year, you need to sign a contract .”

The kidnapper's nose sprayed out all of a sudden, and Li Zhiyuan from the other side yelled: "Thirty-six thousand?! You go and grab it! Even if you sell your broken land, it's not worth 3 thousand!"

"Whether it's worth it or not, you can ask that foreigner," the woman signaled Li Zhiyuan not to get excited, "Now that the land price has gone up, our village is already very close to that scenic spot, so it will go up for a while anyway, I Such a large piece of land is only 1500 per month, and he can pay back the capital in half a year after he sells it. It is up to him to rent it or not, so why are you in a hurry with this place?"

What the woman said was right, Li Zhiyuan was blushed and thick-necked and left the kidnapper's house to go to the village chief. The stranger who rented the land heard Li Zhiyuan's righteous indignation, and immediately laughed: "Oh, it's okay. , It’s okay, what they said is right.”

The foreigner is actually a distant nephew of the village chief, named Li Chi, who took a fancy to the location of the village and wanted to build a place to raise chickens, specially for the restaurants in the scenic area. Li Zhiyuan, who was croaking at the village chief's house, assured him that it was on him, and said that the land was large and far away from the village, and it was suitable for raising chickens.As soon as the village head heard it, he knew which piece of land Li Zhiyuan was talking about, because he had suffered from the kidnapper before, and the village head didn't take it up, so Li Zhiyuan excitedly went to arrest him, and he came back with a fishy body.

"Fortunately, I didn't go." This is what the village head said.

"In this way, I think that family is also a sensible person, so it's better. You said that if I use his land for nothing now, then he will see that my business is doing well, and it will not be a big deal. He will come to torment me, then I can't stand it," Li Chi muttered, "That's good, I rent the land, he collects the money, and after the settlement is settled, no one will trouble anyone, it's good."

Li Zhiyuan was still uncomfortable, as if a kidnapper had picked up 3 yuan for nothing, and he was still muttering, but after all, he was not the one who wanted to raise chickens, and no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he couldn't make the village chief and his nephew happy.

After lunch at the village chief's house, Li Chi went to the kidnapper's house around two o'clock in the afternoon and signed a contract with the woman.

"Did you pay once a year or once?" The woman looked at the paper with the red handprint on it with satisfaction, her eyes rolling, "No matter how you pay, let's write it down clearly on the paper, so as to save trouble in the future." .”

"Yes, yes," Li Chi nodded with a smile. He felt that the woman had a very capable temperament, so he couldn't help but look at her a few more times. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think the woman looked like a farming woman who had never been out of the village.

"Your wife has studied?" Li Chi was puzzled, thought for a while, but instead of talking to the woman directly, he turned his head and asked the kidnapper.

"Uh, read it." Kidnap's mind is full of money now, and when asked by Li Chi, his mind is a little bit unable to respond, and he just plays sloppy eyes casually.

Li Chi nodded suddenly, thinking "No wonder", it is refreshing to deal with people who have studied, and it seems that there will be less trouble in the future, so he responded quite straightforwardly: "I have sex together, we are in the contract It is written clearly that no matter what happens in the past two years, the rent cannot be increased, and after the lease period ends, I have the first right to lease."

"Okay, let's do it like this." The woman brushed two strokes on the paper, and Li Chi and the two of them stamped their fingerprints on each one, and kept them in duplicate.

Li Chi turned around and picked up the handbag, took out three stacks of "Great Unity" from it, and handed it directly to the woman: "Sister-in-law, please order."

Li Zhiyuan choked at the side, thinking what kind of sister-in-law you are calling.

The kidnapper stared blankly at the three wads of money, his head turned following the woman's hand, only to see the woman take out one wad and put the rest on the table, holding the money with his left hand, while turning over the money with his right hand. Sweeping in the same way "swish, swish, swish", seeing Datuan being turned over one by one, the kidnapper swallowed unconsciously.

"One." The woman muttered, and ordered the remaining two stacks in the same way.

"Thirty thousand, just right." The woman nodded to Li Chi, and put the money into her jacket.

"Okay, sister-in-law, you are busy, I will go first."

Seeing that something happened, Li Chi picked up his bag and went out. Seeing that spring will be the peak tourist season, he has to go to the mountain to put the chicken cubs.

At least the kidnapper didn't embarrass the woman, he only slapped his thigh after the person left, looked at the woman dryly and read: "Mother, I've grown up so much, it's the first time I've seen so much money."

"Promise." The woman rolled her eyes, "After all, Lijiatun still guards a natural scenic area. Although it is on the back of the mountain, if your village chief has some skills, your village will not be so poor."

"Poor? It's not poor anymore!" Kidnap expressed his incomprehension, "Although our Lijiatun can't compare with the town, we have built the road early. If you look at other villages, there are still dirt roads in some places. .”

The woman laughed even more when she heard this, she pouted outside the door and mocked, "Are you talking about the patched cement road at the gate of your village?"

"What's the matter? Although it's all patches now, it was 'gnawed' out by a big truck. It was fine when it was first repaired!" The kidnapper turned his neck, feeling very dissatisfied with the woman's disdain.

"Oh, so the road leads directly to the gate of the factory in the village, isn't it used for running big goods?" The woman rolled her eyes, "You really think it's for the convenience of you running to the city? You know it! "

The kidnapper was taken aback, and after thinking about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case. Except for the road near the factory, which was relatively long, the roads in other places had already been broken into slag, and the ground was full of gravel. , not much better than the dirt roads in other villages.

"Well, there's really no way around it. The village is poor. When that factory came, the village head asked the factory manager to repair the roads in our village. How wonderful..."

The abductee was chattering, and he couldn't explain why. When the village said they were going to build roads, he still praised the factory manager in his heart, thinking that he was really a kind person and had done good things for the village. I didn't pay a penny, but I also helped with a shovel. Now that a woman says this, why does it feel like the village is doing odd jobs for that factory for free.

Seeing the abductee's helpless look, the woman was really in shock, and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she decided to give up.

The woman took the money out of her pocket, shook it twice, and took out [-] to give to the kidnapper: "Go and pay back the old man's money first."

Then he asked again: "Is there any place to hide money at home? Thirty thousand is not a lot, find a place to hide it."

The kidnapper first put the owed bill into his arms, thinking that one day he would meet the old man and pay it back to him. Hearing the woman's question, he slapped his forehead and quickly lifted the kang mat.

"Yes! I usually hide all my money here!"

The woman looked there blankly, and there were a few pieces of five yuan scattered scattered on the edge of the dirty kang, which had been pressed neatly by the mats of the kang, smoother than bookmarks for reading.

The woman took two deep breaths before resisting the urge to throw money at the kidnapper's face.
