Chapter 8 Private Land

I saw the vegetable field that should have withered, but now it is green and juicy, and the growth is particularly good.

What is going on here? Could it be that Huang Daxian, who was worshiped at the entrance of the village in the past, appeared?

It is agreed that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they will not be allowed to become elites.

When Xu Jichang came to the door and unlocked his own door, he turned his head and looked at the vegetable field, thinking in wonder.

Just when the lock was half opened, Xu Jichang remembered something.

A few days ago, a villager from the village went to the county seat to handle errands. He once told him about the vegetable field. He said that some female educated youths and older girls in the village often took advantage of the night to secretly water and fertilize his field...

At that time, the visitor was still joking, saying that he would not worry about not having a wife in the future.

At that time, Xu Jichang only thought that the other party was joking, but now when he got home, he found out that it was the real thing.

"Handsome, he really can be eaten..."

Xu Jichang muttered, and turned the door lock with a click.

In the room, a smell of dust came over his face, Xu Jichang coughed twice, and fanned the dust away from his eyes.

The house is still the same, with a chest of drawers padded with bricks with missing legs, window paper with holes, and a dilapidated roof leaking light...

After entering the door, Xu Jichang opened all the doors and windows for ventilation, then sat on a chair, looked at the dilapidated house and fell into deep thought.

He may have to come back here from time to time in the future, so the house must not be sold.

Not only could it not be sold, but it had to be repaired.

This is the case in the countryside. If your house is left unattended, dilapidated, and left unattended for a long time, it may be taken over by unreasonable people in the village over time.

Renovating the house can not only make your experience better when you come back for a short stay in the future, but also prevent problems before they happen.

After Xu Jichang made up his mind, he decided to find the village's veterans to repair the house tomorrow.

There was still a while before dinner, Xu Jichang took a small shovel from the house, and dug out a pile of empty food bags from the house, and went back to the edge of the private plot to collect the vegetables.

The main plant in the field is Chinese cabbage. The shallow root system is easy to collect, and the roots come out with black soil when pulled out lightly.

The white radish is a little troublesome. It is deeply embedded in the soil, so you need to use a small shovel to loosen the soil around it, so that you can save effort when pulling it out.

So regardless of the small planting area of ​​white radish, it takes no less time to put it away than cabbage.

At the end there were some beans. After Xu Jichang finished collecting the beans, he straightened up from his private plot and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This kind of farm work is effortless, but squatting and bending over for a long time is very tiring, and the intensity just now is just a drop in the bucket in front of the double rush in summer.

This is how the ancestors of Tunli people have come here for generations. Everyone starts from being able to work in the fields until they close their eyes.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Jichang wanted to stay in the city to eat commercial food. The work in the field was too cruel.

After harvesting the vegetables, Xu Jichang took half a bag of beans into the house, left the cabbage and white radish at the edge of the vegetable field, and went to the educated youth spot in the village, intending to inform the educated youth to come and buy vegetables.

There are so many dishes that Xu Jichang can't eat all by himself. He needs to exchange the dishes for cash. He is very short of money now.

"Chinese cabbage costs three cents a catty, and radishes cost four cents a catty. They are open to supply without bargaining."

"If you want to buy it, go to my house."

When he came to the courtyard gate of the educated youth spot, Xu Jichang yelled at the educated youths inside.

"Hey, isn't this Jichang? He wants to sell vegetables to us?"

"Hurry up, I'm going to get angry if I can't eat vegetables these two days."

"Wait for a while, I'll go back to the house to get the money."

The educated youths rushed out immediately, carrying cents and ten cents to buy vegetables from Xu Jichang.

Xu Jichang led groups of educated youths to the side of his family's plot, and they didn't use scales.

Everyone buys vegetables starting at ten catties, because the educated youths do not have their own land like the members of the production team, and the vegetables they usually grow in the yard ordered by the educated youths are not enough for them to eat for three days.

Among the educated youths, the family conditions are good, and from time to time they will go to the members of the commune to buy food, but they often cannot buy it with money.

After all, in addition to the current three meals a day, the vegetables of the commune members also have to be made into dried vegetables and pickles to prepare for the heavy snow in winter.

It is inconvenient for Heixiazi to go to the city to buy vegetables far from the county seat. It is great news for the educated youths to meet Xu Jichang who opened up the supply today.

After a while, Xu Jichang sold out all the sacks of vegetables, earning a total of ten yuan.

Excluding the negligible planting area of ​​beans, a total of [-] catties of radishes and vegetables were harvested in two parts of the land.

This is lower than the output of scientific farming in later generations, but it is already a very good output at the moment.

Xu Jichang held the money in his pocket and took a deep breath.

Money is the guts of a hero, and the feeling of having money in your hands is really solid.

The money was contributed to him from the private land behind the house, and according to the usual practice of the current production team, after the members entered the city, the two points of land would be collected and redistributed collectively.

To be honest, Xu Jichang was very reluctant. According to his idea, he could do a lot of things in the future with these two points of land.

Xu Jichang wanted both commodity grain and private land.

This is also the most important thing for Xu Jichang to return to the village this time, and that is to continue to hold the private land in his own hands.

How to do this?

Just as Xu Jichang was pondering, there was a commotion at the entrance of the village, which interrupted his thoughts.

Someone was shouting something excitedly in the distance, followed by more excited voices.

"What's the matter with this?"

Xu Jichang wondered, and went to the entrance of the village suspiciously to find out.

Just halfway along the dirt road in the village, Xu Jichang saw Shunzi running over excitedly.
