The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 105 Discussing with the Village Chief
On the evening of the 23rd lunar month, Wang Shaodong persuaded his parents to invest nearly 80 yuan in his family next year. Then the next day, after selling chickens in Qishan, Wang Shaodong, Zheng Hui, and Zheng Tao went directly to Steel City In the county town, I bought a lot of Shunxiangzhai sausage, Luzhong Jinjia mutton soup, Moutai wine, Wuliangye and other local products, expensive gifts, etc., and spent a total of more than 3000.

Seeing their brother Dongzi spending such a large amount of money, Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao asked Wang Shaodong what he wanted to do.

Wang Shaodong told them that he was going to do big things.

Back in Taohualing Village, at seven o'clock on the night of the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Shaodong and Wang Fumin quietly came to the house of the village chief Wu Youguang with their things under the cover of night.

At this time, most people are having dinner, or they just watched TV after dinner.

Wang Shaodong listened to the inside from the door, there was no one else, and then pushed the door open.

After entering the gate, Wu Youguang's big wolf dog tied to the screen wall barked loudly and rushed forward. However, the big wolf dog had an iron chain around its neck. It jumped up and jumped, but was dragged back by the iron chain.The wolfhound lost face and barked even more fiercely.

"Da Zhuang, what's your name?"

Every household in the countryside will have a dog, which actually acts as a doorbell. When the dog barks, the people in the house will know that someone is coming.

The one who stepped out was Wu Youguang's wife, Cao Shuxiang, a plump but not disgusting middle-aged woman.

Wu Youguang is four or five years older than Wang Fumin. According to Zhuang Township, Wang Shaodong has to call him uncle, so Wu Youguang's wife is Wang Shaodong's aunt.

Wu Youguang's wife, Cao Shuxiang, saw Wang Fumin and his son standing at the door, and both of them were carrying a lot of things, so she greeted them with a smile.

"The rich people are here, come to the house quickly, look at your father and son, come here, and bring these things."

Cao Shuxiang pulled the rope that tied the big wolf dog, and then let Wang Shaodong and his son hurry up and pass.

"Ma'am, is my uncle at home?"

When he got to a safe place where the wolf dogs couldn't reach, Wang Shaodong hurriedly turned around and asked Cao Shuxiang.

"Oh, here we are. Old Wu, Young Master Dong is here."

Wu Youguang was eating, holding pancakes in one hand, and opened the sliding door of the front building with the other, and hurriedly said, "Come on, come on, look at your rich people, and you'll be out of the way."

Wang Shaodong and his son entered the house, put the things directly next to the door of the main house, and then said to Wu Youguang with a smile: "Master, just a few bottles of wine and a box of tea are specially entrusted to buy for you. You should try it." .”

Wu Youguang glanced at the things that Wang's father and son sent over. They were all high-grade, such as Maotai liquor, Zhonghua cigarettes, etc., each of which cost hundreds of dollars.However, Wang Fumin's son didn't see any clues about the tea leaves that Wang Fumin's son mentioned.

Wu Youguang gave Cao Shuxiang a wink, and then pulled Wang Fumin into the house.

"Village Chief, you are eating now, let's not delay your eating."

After entering the room, Wang Fumin said nervously.

However, Wu Youguang patted Wang Fumin's shoulder with a smile, and said, "Fumin, I've finished eating. Oh, I said Fumin, you've done a great job this year. I heard that you are now the richest man in our Taohualing Village."

"Where is that, Brother Village Chief, don't listen to their nonsense, how can our family be the richest man?" Wang Fumin was nervous and hurried to refute the rumors.

"Grandpa, you guys really think highly of our family. This is not the village chief. Our family is indeed rich now, and we have to thank you for helping us establish this breeding area, otherwise our family would When will you see so much money?"

The Wang family is grateful to themselves, which makes Wu Youguang very happy.

"Fumin, your son is much more promising than you in terms of words and deeds. How old is the young man?"

"Master, I will be nineteen after the new year, and my birthday in the first month is not bad for my age."

"Your name is Dongzi?"

"Yes, sir, my name is Wang Shaodong."

Wu Youguang had just started talking with Wang Fumin, and when he saw that the other party was obedient, he was a little nervous when he answered his own words correctly, so he turned his head and started chatting with Wang Fumin's son, Wang Shaodong.

Wu Youguang is the head of a village. Seeing that the gifts brought by Wang's father and son were quite expensive, he knew that the other party's visit must not be for thanking him, and must have other purposes, so after some opening remarks, Looking at Wang Fumin who was sitting on the sofa with a smile, he asked, "Fumin, you two came to see me today, do you have anything else to do?"

"I, I..." Wang Fumin didn't know how to speak.

Wang Shaodong hurriedly took over the conversation: "Master Village Chief, it's like this. Our family has made some money this year, so I thought about doing something good for our village in the spring of the new year. I just thought about it, On the Wujiayuzi side, our family paid for the construction of a reservoir, and then the thousands of acres of land downstream of Wujiayuzi will be irrigated.”

Wu Youguang frowned, sat on the sofa, held his chin and thought for a minute, then turned his head to look at Wang Shaodong and asked, "Dongzi, will it cost a lot of money to build the reservoir?"

Wang Shaodong nodded and said, "It's a lot of money."

Wu Youguang smiled: "Then your family's good deed is a bit big. After the reservoir is built, this thing will be collective in the future. What is your family planning? Just to do good deeds?"

Wang Shaodong also smiled: "Grandpa, this one, the reservoir must be a collective, but I want to raise some fish in it, grow some lotus root and so on. Oh, by the way, and the reservoir is built, and my dad and I are thinking about it." The mountains on both sides are also contracted, and the next step is to develop some fruit trees or something."

Wu Youguang smiled and pointed at Wang Shaodong and said, "Nephew, I will follow what you just said to do good deeds. It is not so simple. Well, our Wujiayuzi has been contracted to Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang in our village. If If you want to subcontract to your family, you need the consent of the two of them. Also, the construction of the reservoir does not mean that you can build it if you have money. You have to discuss it with the Water Conservancy Bureau, Forestry Bureau and other departments. It's troublesome. But the barren hills on both sides of Wujiayuzi are contracted to you, and I can make the decision."

Wang Shaodong thought, if the reservoir is not built, why should I contract those barren hills?Am I not a fool?
"Well, Mr. Village Chief, we don't understand either. Can you think of a way? You can just talk to me about the cost of the formalities. As for Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang, we You can go to work and ask them to subcontract Wujiayuzi to us. Oh, yes, there is one more thing, the half of our village that belongs to Songbai Mountain, I want to contract it and go to the mountain to raise chickens, sir Can you take care of us?"

There is nothing else on Songbai Mountain except pines and cypresses, and no one in the village has ever thought about it. Wu Youguang immediately agreed, "It's easy to say, you write an application for this, and I will write you a contract for your family."

Songbai Mountain is not far from Wujiayuzi, and Wang Shaodong plans to raise high-quality chickens on Songbai Mountain in the next step.
