Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 18 Compensation
After dinner, Su Mu gave Mr. Zhang more than 900 yuan to buy Chinese toon.Then, carrying two empty bamboo baskets and a shoulder pole, they hailed a taxi outside, and the two went straight to Dafengzhuang in the suburb.

Dafengzhuang is located in the east of Pingjin City. Although it is only adjacent to the city, it is only convenient for transportation. The rest is no different from ordinary villages.

People in the village seem to be relatively wealthy at first glance. Small buildings with two or three floors can be seen everywhere, and cars are parked at the door of many people's houses.

However, when he walked to the place where Mr. Zhang rented, Su Mu couldn't help frowning slightly.

It's so shabby!Moreover, it is far away from the bustling village. It should be the site of the former village, and the courtyard has not been demolished and rebuilt.

It is a small adobe house, and several layers of plastic sheets covered with mud are randomly placed on the roof, apparently to prevent water leakage when it rains.The yard didn't have a decent wall either, and it was obvious that Zhang Sanye used the dry branches he picked up to block it a bit around the edge. Fortunately, the yard is relatively large and several vegetables are grown.It's just that they don't look very good, and the color is yellow and sparse.

"Old lady, there are guests at home." Mr. Zhang opened the courtyard door and brought Su Mu into the courtyard. Seeing him looking at the piled up dry branches in doubt, he explained: "The people in the village are not as good as before. Get along with each other. In the past, every household in the countryside had a very good relationship, and there was friendship between fellow villagers and neighbors.

Now that everyone looks at money, it has long since lost its human touch.My husband and I live here, and we don’t have other livelihoods. At most, we grow a la carte and raise chickens and ducks for a few dollars. However, those naughty children in the village come to trouble the little chickens and ducks all day long. Have you served those dishes yet?
They don't eat, they just waste things.Sometimes I don’t dare to say it after watching it. The adults in the family protect the calf, and it’s very good if they don’t bother us! "

"People's hearts are not ancient, people nowadays are only staring at a word of money." Su Mu felt a lot of emotion for a while.

It may not be easy to find the pure neighborhood love that I had when I was a child.Nowadays, people have more and more money in their hands. They seem to have quite a lot, but they have lost the most innocent friendship.

"In today's society, it's hard to move an inch without money!" Mr. Zhang also sighed, and pushed open the door to let him in.

The room is dimly lit and simply furnished.An old table; two wooden stools; and inside are two wooden beds pushed together.

The kitchen is in the yard. It is a very simple shack. If it rains a little bit harder, it may still leak.

"The old lady has a bit of a cold. It seems that she just took medicine and fell asleep." Mr. Zhang entered the room to look around, and his voice was slightly lowered, "Xiao Su, sit down first, I'll boil some water for you."

Seeing this, Su Mu hastily declined and said: "Don't bother, third master, let's go and see the toon tree you planted first. I have to go nearby to check the rental price later, and I will trouble you next time I come here."

"Hey, that's good!" Mr. Zhang knew that there was nothing in his house to entertain guests, so he didn't show politeness to him, and took Su Mu to the back of his house.

There is a small piece of Chinese toon forest in the open space in the afternoon, and you can smell the strong fragrance in the air before you come to it.

"Stand far away, don't hit you; Erheng, if you climb higher, this thing will be eaten fresh, and the branches and leaves you left behind will be old!"

"Scrambled eggs with Chinese toon at night, it must be very delicious!"

"What do you need to say? Anyway, after folding so much, and mixing the whole toon sprouts with tofu, the mouth is watering just thinking about it!"

……

As soon as I walked into the small toon forest, I heard a few people talking and laughing loudly, as well as the sound of breaking branches.

Su Mu hurriedly walked a few steps to follow Mr. Zhang, and saw several middle-aged men riding on the most luxuriant toon trees.

The branches that had just sprouted had been broken a lot, and they were thrown everywhere on the ground. Several village women were sitting under the tree with baskets, picking fresh shoots from the branches.

They just picked the youngest ones, and the older ones were all thrown aside and trampled into a mess.

"This... You can pick and eat Chinese toon if you want to eat them. Why do you have to waste these trees! Why are you breaking off all the good branches? Look at the waste..." Mr. Zhang was full of distress, looking at himself The carefully cared for toon trees are all damaged, so don't worry.

The village woman sitting on a pile of freshly broken branches turned her head to look at him, and said with a sneer, "Never mind your business, this tree is not yours, you tell it to see if it agrees?"

"That's right, you can pick toon buds and sell them for money, but we can't pick them and eat them? The old guy who lives in our village is so fucking lonely, he wants to take all the benefits for himself, right?"

Seeing this, the men on the tree became more proud and cut off all the better branches!

Su Mu couldn't help feeling angry, and scolded: "How much money are you really short of? The old man's life is hard, and he grows some Chinese toon and sells it for a few dollars. Why do you bully people like this?"

"Bullying people? Which fucking eye of yours saw us bullying him?" A village woman who was picking toons stood up and put her waist in and scolded: "He rented a land with two rooms and a courtyard, and the land behind the house Did he spend money to rent it? This is the land of Dafengzhuang! It belongs to the public! There are Chinese toon trees growing on the land in our village, of course it is something in our village. Come here to judge with us, you really think there is no king!"

"Where did you call the wild boy? Seeing that the old man's life is not good, show mercy? It's kind, take it back and serve the old man! Don't you city people like to do charity? Don't be full. You have to come to us to teach people a lesson! This land belongs to the public, no matter what, it has nothing to do with the old man, if you are sensible, hurry up and get out, or wait for me to come down from the tree and cut it to death, believe it or not?"

The man on the tree was swearing uncleanly, and several village women stood up as if they wanted to swear at any time.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhang hurriedly dragged Su Mu away who wanted to get mad, and although he felt uncomfortable, he still persuaded in a low voice: "Go, Xiao Su, don't be as knowledgeable as them. I shouldn't plant Chinese toon on this land! They have all moved to Xincun for a few years, and I see it as a pity that this place is deserted...

Now these people are rich because of the city's glory, one is better than the other, and they can't see others being better.

I let you make a trip for nothing, and I will have no toon buds to sell in the future, Xiao Su, you can go to your own business first. "

"These people are really deceiving people too much!" Su Mu frowned in anger, but still sensibly did not reason with them.

Otherwise, if these people make things difficult for Mr. Zhang and his old couple after I leave, wouldn't it be a disaster for them?
"Xiao Su, don't be angry with them, there are such people everywhere! Recently, I heard that some bosses want to invest in buying land in the village to build a community, and some upstarts are even more embarrassing. If you want to rent land, you'd better go a little Look for some remote villages, this area is close to the urban area, the price must be much more expensive, and it is not worthwhile to spread such powerful eyes to find you something every now and then."

Mr. Zhang was obviously in a heavy heart, and he was angry for no reason, and he looked even older when he walked.

In the past, I only saw all kinds of reports about the old man on the Internet, but now that the real example is in front of him, Su Mu can't help but worry about the old couple.

"Third Master, what are you going to do in the future? If Dafengzhuang really moves, where will you live?"

"Let's take one step at a time." He sighed and looked back at the ruined toon grove and the joking and joking villagers, and said sadly: "Since this family broke up, the rest of us have no hope What a good day. No matter where you go, where the loess doesn’t bury people! Now I can still do it, and I can earn a little money. If I can’t do it in the future, I will take the old woman out to beg for food, and still have no stutter?”

Su Muben wanted to find a suburban village and rent a large piece of farmland to expand his green vegetable business.Unexpectedly, when encountering such a thing, I feel naturally upset, and I have a better understanding of the current people's hearts.Obviously, the harmonious village I longed for when I was a child is hard to come by!

If not, how about making one yourself?
An idea flashed across his mind, although he could enjoy more material life in the city, but if his family moved to the city, they would be similar to the Mr. and Mrs. Zhang back then.The whole family only earns their own money to support the family. If something goes wrong in the business, there is not even a relative or friend to rely on.

It's better to use the space now to create a unique peach blossom garden!

"Third Master, you go back first, I'll make it easier for you here." There are dilapidated houses next to the toon forest, and there are still a lot of household garbage lying on the ground, so Su Mu asked the other party to go back first on the pretext of convenience.

Mr. Zhang didn't doubt him, and staggered towards the house, sighing and worrying about his future.

With the experience of "stealing" the belongings of the big gold ring at noon, Su Mu is now more proficient in using space.This time I hid a few meters away from them, and there was no need to use it a second time, all the things on those arrogant villagers "flyed" into the space!
As he walked towards Mr. Zhang's house, he used his consciousness to check the things put into the space.

A few strings of house keys, a bag of soft China, three wallets and a few mobile phones, Su Mu took out the money in the wallet and the cash in the big gold ring wallet and put them in his pocket, saying in his heart: This little money will be treated as You give the third master some compensation, who told you to bully others!

"Third Master, I don't bother you if I have other things. Since I can't pick toon buds for sale for the time being, you can take care of my aunt at home. I have some spare money here. If you don't mind it, you can accept it. Anyway, we know someone Go to the market, take it to buy some nutritional supplements for the aunt to nourish her body."

Su Mu didn't count exactly how many there were, anyway, there were at least two or three hundred in each wallet; there was also a small wad of about one thousand yuan in the wallet of the big gold ring.

He reckoned that it would be enough for the old couple to spend a while, so he persuaded: "Don't be polite to me, I will come to see you when I have time. I am planning to arrange the residence of my grandparents during this time, and I have to talk to you about some things." They discussed it, and if it can be done well, they will take your second elder to live with them by the way.

You are all old, just be a companion.What do you think?I dare not say anything else, but it is better than being neighbors with these rich and heartless people! "
