Farming Routine After Returning From Interstellar - Chapter 29
At noon, while the villagers were all at home, the village chief visited the villagers who owned land around the Su family. When everyone heard that the daughter of the Su family wanted to buy land, they subconsciously refused.
Land is the root of peasants. Without land, what kind of peasants are they?
Later, I heard the village chief talk about the transfer price, and the price was really kind, even more favorable than the price of land acquisition near the county seat. They were inevitably heartbroken.
Due to the diligent efforts of the ancestors to open up wasteland, each family has a lot of land, and the land around the Su family is only a small part of the land they currently own.
It’s just that the transfer of land is such a big matter that it needs to be discussed with the children at home, and it is still uncertain.
But the village head thinks that it can be done. Now, the young children in the village will grow what kind of fields. It is better to transfer the land to get a sum of money, and it is better to do some other small business than farming.
The only tricky thing is that in the field around Su’s house, there is also the land of Mrs. Wang’s house! And the area is not small, the location is still in the middle.
If Su Mu wanted to rent or buy the entire piece of land, it would be impossible to bypass her family’s land.
Sure enough, as soon as the village chief said what he meant, Mrs. Wang almost kicked him out.
Seeing Mrs. Wang who couldn’t get in the oil and salt, the village chief had no choice but to go home with his head shaking. He himself has to go back and discuss with his old wife how to deal with the land. Whether it is rent or transfer, he has to come up with a charter.
In the evening, the village chief went to the door of Su’s house with his hands behind his back.
As for the guests from the Su family from the city, this was the first time he saw them today. Sure enough, all of them had extraordinary bearing, and they all seemed to have a big background. In his heart, he valued the Su family a little more.
Su Mu brought him into the living room of the house. After serving tea, she asked, “Grandpa, but the land transfer has come to an end?”
The village chief picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before saying: “I have asked the families one by one, and they said they would discuss with their children, and it is estimated that the results will be obtained within two or three days. As for the homestead you applied for. Well, I will hold a village meeting in the evening to ask for opinions, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Su Mu was puzzled. Since everything went well, why did the village chief frown?
The village chief didn’t let her doubt for too long, and then he opened his mouth and explained the reason: “Among the pieces of land you want to buy, there is the land of Mrs. Wang’s house.”
Su Mu realized clearly, “She refuses to sell?” According to Mrs. Wang’s stubborn temperament, it is strange that she is willing to let her take over.
The village chief shook his head, “It’s not just that I don’t want to transfer, I think it’s hard to even rent. Mumu, after all, you guys had such a big conflict in the morning, Mrs. Wang is the best face, you have to be mentally prepared.”
“I heard that she is at odds with her daughter-in-law?” Su Mu thought about it. She also heard from Grandma Li about the story of Mrs. Wang. Her son had the ability to buy a house in the city, but he emptied it out. With the savings and the need to raise a child, the family is living a tight life.
For her, problems that can be solved with money are not a problem.
The village chief touched his bald head and laughed, “Why didn’t I think of it! You young people are still thinking fast!”
With a well-behaved smile on Su Mu’s face, he said, “I just said it casually.”
It’s really casual.
However, it is strange that the village chief will believe it. It is not easy to make a hob meat like Mrs. Wang shriveled. Obviously they are foxes for thousands of years, what are they still playing with each other.
“Then I’ll talk to her son, it’s up to him whether he succeeds or not.”
Su Mu added tea to the village chief and said with a smile, “It’s hard work, grandpa.”
“It’s okay, it’s within the scope of responsibility.” If she really made a name for herself, as the village head of Huayuan Village, he would also have a glorious face.
After sending off the village chief respectfully, Su Mu had a bottom line in her heart, and she was bound to win that piece of land.
At this time, only Su’s father and Su’s mother were in the yard, and everyone else was in their own room. Although it was a holiday now, there were still many things to deal with, so naturally it was impossible to really enjoy it wholeheartedly.
She sat next to her mother to help her pick vegetables. The wild vegetables dug up by Willow and others had not been processed, and the dead leaves at the roots had not been removed.
The water bracken has been soaked in water for several hours, but the roots will inevitably become old, and this part should be removed, otherwise it will affect the taste.
While picking vegetables, Mother Su asked her what the village chief was here for.
Su Mu replied: “I want to buy the land in front of our house and nearby, as well as the unowned land at the foot of the mountain. That’s what I discussed with Grandpa just now.”
“Buy? Can’t rent?” Mother Su’s movements stopped. She used to suffer from hardships, and it is different from today’s young people’s consumption concept, and she always subconsciously chooses the cheapest way. Every time her daughter spends money, she is heartbroken. Fortunately, all payments are made by mobile phone now. If it was changed to cash, she would have to be angry.
“I like to do it once and for all. The problem now is that Mrs. Wang is not willing to rent, let alone sell.”
If her son’s path doesn’t work, she’ll have to resort to extreme measures.
“By the way, the village chief will hold a village meeting tonight to discuss the transfer of land. Parents, I will accompany you when the time comes.”
“Okay, you just know what you have in mind.” Father Su has now delegated power, and the daughter can toss as much as she likes.
There were not many wild vegetables in the basket, and they were cleaned up after a while. Su Mu clapped the dust on her hands and said, “I’m going to water the vegetable field.”
Father Su hurriedly said, “By the way, give some water to our rice.”
“I see.”
Su Mu put on a straw hat and went out the door. When she came to the entrance of the village, she first removed the stone from the water outlet and irrigated the rice.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter recently, and the water in the paddy fields evaporates so quickly that it is less than half a finger deep.
Then she went to her vegetable field. Before, her father helped her build a hose. She took off the plug, and the hot water flowed all over the place. After the cool water flowed out, she began to water the vegetable seedlings.
Water spinach, cabbage, cabbage, cabbage, etc. grow faster, and the green leaves cover the soil on the ground. Something like cabbage will probably wrap up in two days. And pepper eggplant, etc., are still growing, and there is still a period of time before flowering and fruiting.
Vegetables such as bitter gourd, pumpkin, cucumber and tomatoes that need to build a shelf are now particularly capable of climbing, restlessly invading the territory of the amaranth next door.
Su Mu pulled them back carefully, otherwise the amaranth would be in danger if they were entangled by them.
Fortunately, ground vegetables and climbing vegetables are grown in sub-regions, which are more convenient to manage.
She plans to let Grandma Li and Grandma Chen come to help build the shelf tomorrow. She has already prepared the material for the shelf, and she uses green bamboo. Tough, it’s perfect for building a shelf.
After a whole day of exposure to the sun, the vegetable seedlings are still in good spirits and straighten their roots and stems, and the leaves are not wilted. This is the beauty of the powerful spiritual energy.
Su Mu slightly blocked the water outlet of the pipe with her thumb, and the dripping water dripped on the green leaves.
Occasionally, villagers who pass by can’t help but stop and praise her for how well she grows vegetables and how well she does her work.
She blushed a little. This was all trained in the interstellar space, and with the blessing of green fingers, if the vegetables were not well grown, then she would be a waste.
Watering 20 acres of land is not an easy job. She was busy for more than an hour, and her clothes were soaked with sweat before she thoroughly watered the vegetable field.
The sun has set, the sky is blue and clear, and there is no magnificent sunset today.
After Su Mu drained half of the water in the paddy field, she set off to go home.
Just now, her attention was all on the vegetable field, and she forgot the paddy field that was still being filled with water. If the villagers hadn’t kindly reminded her, the paddy field would have been submerged.
She was really embarrassed by the jokes of the villagers at that time.
When I got home, the people in the room finally came out for activities.
Surrounded by the pool to trim the snail’s tail, Gu Shi took a second look when he saw her dirty appearance.
Willow yelled, “Mu Mu, did you fall into the ditch?”
Su Mubai glanced at him, “Going to water the vegetable field.”
“No wonder! Is it fun to pour vegetables? Call me next time you go.”
“Okay, it’s rare that a big boss like you is willing to work.”
“That said, I’ve been diligent, okay?”
Listening to this boastful remark, everyone rolled their eyes to show their respect.
