The happy life of the great landowner

Chapter 30 Contracting the Barren Mountain
The next morning, Zhou Bo was feeding the shrimp seedlings in the pond, when Chen Ye came over and said to him, "Zhou Bo, I want to contract the barren hill behind Li Ru's house."

"Oh, contracting a barren mountain, what!" Zhou Bo didn't care at first, but when he heard Chen Ye said that he would contract a barren mountain, he was stunned, and then asked in a shocked tone: "Chen Ye, what did you say?" ? You want to contract the barren hill behind Li Ru's house!"

"Yeah, I've already made up my mind. I'll talk to Secretary Peng about it in a few days." When Chen Ye saw the paradise in the barren mountain yesterday, he was also secretly shocked, so he was shocked by Zhou Bo's current reaction. , also expressed understanding.

Hearing Chen Ye's affirmative answer, Zhou Bo immediately put the feed aside, walked to Chen Ye's side, reached out and touched his forehead: "This head is not hot either!"

Chen Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"If you're not sick, it's my ears that are sick!" Zhou Bo kept scratching his hair with his hands, struggling back and forth by the pond, and after a while, he said again: "Chen Ye, do you know that is a barren mountain? "

Chen Ye replied: "Of course I know."

Zhou Bo was anxious enough to be answered by his calm manner, and hurriedly said: "Since you know, if you still contract it, it's not like throwing money into a deep pool, without even a bubble!"

"Believe me, that barren mountain will soon become a golden mountain." Chen Ye said, and told Zhou Bo about his development of the barren hill, planning to reclaim land on it and plant durians.

"Oh my God." Zhou Bodun felt dizzy, and he felt the need to explain something to Chen Ye: "Chen Ye, I don't know how you can solve the nutrient problem of barren land, but even if no one cares about that mountain, But it's too big, just the two of us alone can't afford to contract it!"

Without thinking about it, Chen Ye said, "This is no problem, we can hire a few people to do it together."

"I really lost to you." Zhou Bo slapped his forehead heavily, and then took out his palm: "We made more than 7 yuan after buying the crayfish, but before buying clothes, mobile phones and gifts, we spent more than 1 yuan. Later, it cost more than 3000 yuan to renovate the pond, and later contracted more than ten acres of land beside the pond, plus another 3 yuan was spent on expansion, and now we only have how much money we have left, have you calculated it?"

Chen Ye nodded, and then patted Zhou Bo on the shoulder: "Don't worry about money, since I want to do it, there must be a way to solve it, and if we contract such a big mountain, the county will definitely give us subsidies. Not to mention too much, there must be 2 to [-] yuan.”

"2 to [-] yuan is not enough to fit between teeth." Zhou Bo grimaced. His family is also a farmer, so he naturally knows how much it costs to fertilize this kind of land, not to mention such a large mountain, just the seeds and fertilizers are a fortune. It's not a small expense, and someone has to be hired to do it. At least one person will have to open a thousand yuan a month. He dare not count down the total expenses for this year.

"Don't worry, I said there is a way, there is definitely a way." Chen Ye smiled and walked towards Peng Yan's house.

When passing by Wang Dianzhu's house, Chen Ye vaguely heard noises inside, so he deliberately lowered his pace to listen.

"You old ghost, where did you take the money from the family!"

"Smelly woman, keep your voice down, you are not afraid of being heard by others, you are not ashamed!"

"Afraid of embarrassment? You are still afraid of embarrassment. I, Shen Cuihua, have been married to you for more than 30 years. I have worn gold and silver? I have worked hard to manage this family, and saved some money to buy a house for my son in the city. Daughter-in-law, it’s good for you, boy who spreads money, isn’t it, should you use the money to raise vixen!”

Ever since Luo Dahai's stealing of Li Ru came to light, Shen Cuihua had her eyes on her husband. Seeing that he came back late at night, she was worried that he was also stealing people outside. Today, I checked and found that there were more than 6 yuan deposited under the bed at home. The money disappeared, and then the quarrel with Wang Dianzhu started.

Soon, Wang Dianzhu's wife, Shen Cuihua, was crying.

Perhaps it was the crying that annoyed Wang Dianzhu, preventing him from getting off the stage, so he raised his hand and slapped her: "You bitch, have you said enough! See if I don't beat you to death today."

"Come on, if you beat me to death today, I won't live today."

Chen Ye shook his head secretly when he heard it outside. No wonder there is a saying that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Wang Dianzhu is not a good bird, but this is Wang Dianzhu's family business, and he is too lazy to make ends meet, so he is not listening The wall is down, so go directly to Peng Yan's house.

At this moment, Peng Yan is planning at home how to encourage farmers in Bairuo Village to contract land boldly. After all, Bairuo Village is poor in mountains and water, even with the support of the county's new rural construction policy, the difficulty is not so small.

As soon as Chen Ye entered the room, seeing Peng Yan frowning and shaking his head, he took the initiative to say hello: "Auntie, what are you bothering about?"

"Hey, this is my aunt's business. You are still young, so it's useless to tell you." After Peng Yan finished speaking, she got up and moved a stool for Chen Ye: "You sit down first, Sisi is going to the county to buy a set." Textbooks are gone, and I won’t be back until noon.”

Chen Ye took the stool and said as soon as he sat down, "Auntie, I'm not looking for Peng Si today."

Peng Yan put down the pen in hand, raised her head and asked, "Isn't it looking for Sisi? Could it be that you're looking for auntie for something?"

Chen Ye smiled, and then told him about the barren hill behind Li Ru's house that he wanted to contract.

When she first heard that Chen Ye was going to contract the barren mountain, Peng Yan also had the same reaction as Zhou Bo, and asked dumbfounded: "What! You want to contract that barren mountain?"

After Chen Ye responded, he said: "Yes, I think it's a pity that the barren mountain is left alone. Why don't you take care of it and plant durians before leaving school? , Now that the shrimp seedlings have just been released, and the time is relatively short, it is better to do some side jobs."

"You are so self-motivated, and my aunt is happy for Mom, but are you busy enough?" Although Peng Yan didn't know what durian was, she thought Chen Ye was just playing around, and didn't think about other things. Worried about delaying his study.

Seeing that Peng Yan refused without opening his mouth, Chen Ye said, "Auntie, you can rest assured that you will not fall behind in your studies, and Zhou Bo and I have discussed that he will let some of his friends Come and help."

"Zhou Bo's friend?" Peng Yan frowned slightly. Zhou Bo was a gangster in the past, and he made friends with cronies. She was worried that Chen Ye would follow suit.

"It's Zhou Bo's friends, and they are also poor children. Instead of ignoring them, it's better to let Zhou Bo take care of them. It will save them from causing trouble to the family and the village, and let them learn well and earn some money. You said yes That's not the reason." Regarding Peng Yan's worries, Chen Ye was not worried, because Zhou Bo himself was that kind of a stickler, and his younger brothers who would follow him were no better, it was easier to manage, and the most important thing was that they had They are all busy in the fields, each of them has a lot of strength, and they are very good at farming and fertilizing.

To Chen Ye's statement, Peng Yan also nodded frequently. In this way, it not only solves the problem of idlers who drop out of school in the village, but also reduces the life pressure of each family. It is really a good thing that kills two birds with one stone: "Well, since you Having said that, the aunt has no objections, and when Sisi comes back, we will go to the village committee to sign the contract."

When Peng Si came home, Chen Ye felt like a kitten tickling his heart. Taking advantage of Peng Yan's cooking time, he quietly pulled Peng Si's little hand. Say something against it.

Chen Ye was overjoyed, he knew that his relationship with Peng Si was one step closer.

After lunch, Chen Ye and Peng Yan came to the village committee together. At this time, Wang Dianzhu was already sitting in the village committee, but there were a few very conspicuous scratches on his face. You don't need to guess. It was made by his wife.

When Wang Dianzhu saw Chen Ye looking at him with a smile on his face, he immediately lowered his face, not even drinking tea like this: "Little baby, why don't you go to the village committee all day long to raise shrimps in the pond?"

Chen Ye chuckled, then coughed intentionally, and after smoothing his throat, he said, "Village Chief, I discussed it with Secretary Peng and decided to contract the barren hill behind Li Ru's house."

Wang Dianzhu, who was drinking tea, was in a hurry to swallow the tea before it came. When he heard that Chen Ye was going to contract the barren mountain, he immediately took a sip of tea and sprayed it all over the table. Then he quickly took out a piece of paper and wiped the desk clean: What? You want to contract that barren mountain?"

Wang Dianzhu's voice was very loud, and even all the village cadres of the village committee inadvertently made it clear.

Chen Ye didn't care about the shocked eyes of everyone, and gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, I'm sure I want to contract that barren mountain! Is there any problem?"

Peng Yan also stood up at this time and spoke for Chen Ye: "I think it is a good thing that Chen Ye has this idea, and it just happens to be a role model for the village..."

Peng Yan was talking to herself, but she didn't notice Wang Dianzhu's expression.

At this time, Wang Dianzhu suppressed his laughter and wanted to laugh out loud, but because Peng Yan's official was one level older than him, it didn't matter, because he believed that soon the whole Bairuo Village would be unresponsive in laughter. Waisted.

Seeing Wang Dianzhu's appearance, Peng Yan thought that he was going to make things difficult for Chen Ye again like last time, so she frowned and asked, "Cun Zhang, do you have any questions?"

"No problem, no problem, of course no problem." Wang Dianzhu quickly waved his hand, and immediately took out the official seal and the land contract responsibility letter. Before Chen Ye could fill out the form, he stamped it, as if he was afraid that Chen Ye would temporarily Changed my mind not to rent.

As soon as Chen Ye was about to fill out the form, Cai Chunmei, the village women's director, hurriedly stopped him: "Chen Ye, you are crazy! That mountain is so poor that you can't grow anything. All the children in the village know about it. You Isn't that a waste of money?"

When Peng Yan heard Cai Chunmei's words, her heart skipped a beat. She had not been a senior village official in Bairuo Village for a long time, so many things were still unclear, so she quickly asked, "Sister Cai, what are you talking about? What do you mean you can't live!"

Cai Chunmei stomped her feet hurriedly when she heard the words: "Hey, I forgot, Secretary, you came to the village not long ago, and many things are unclear. Our Bairuo Village itself has relatively barren land and little water. Several mountains are too poor, especially the barren mountain behind Li Ru's house, someone contracted the land price back then, I wanted to pick up a bargain, but ended up paying [-] to [-] yuan..."

Wang Dianzhu was itching with anger, hating Cai Chunmei for being troublesome, but he said: "There are no absolutes in this world. Everyone didn't like Chen Ye's shrimp farming before, but now he is really earning money. This shows that as long as you work hard enough, you can grind an iron pestle into a needle."

Cai Chunmei was also in a hurry, and her words were not important: "Village Chief, Chen Ye is young and ignorant, you can't encourage him..."

"Director Cai, what do you mean by that? Now that the policy of the county has come down, if everyone chooses the fat and the thin, how can we complete the targets given to Bairuo Village!" Wang Dianzhu sneered secretly, and then looked like a villain. , said attentively to Peng Yan: "Secretary Peng, I believe Chen Ye will be able to do well, so don't worry about it."
