Second Marriage in the 1970s - Chapter 89
In the morning, Dong Haotian gave Dong Aihua a reply, saying that the annual rent for the contracted wasteland is 12 yuan per mu, and the mountainous land is five yuan per mu.
“This is the result of everyone’s negotiation. If you contract more, you can still get less.”
The price is not just talking with your eyes closed, but a reasonable calculation.
In this year, there is no hybrid rice, and the yield per mu of rice and wheat is not high, about two to three hundred catties per mu of land, half of which will be paid for public grain.
Calculated at the market price of wheat, which is one cent and sixty one catty, three hundred catties of wheat is only forty-eight dollars. After removing the public grain and removing the artificial fertilizer, the remaining income is not much. Moreover, this is a wasteland, not a serious farmland.
As for the mountainous land, the rent is even higher, so a large area, except for collecting firewood and catching pheasant and hare, is of no use.
It’s just a waste of waste. It’s a waste of time to clean up, and you can’t get the money if you give it to others to plant. It’s okay to contract out. Every year, you can make a profit on the team with your eyes closed, no loss.
“So…” Dong Aihua had the final say. The family had a deposit of more than 3,000 yuan, which was saved by the family after so many years.
With these deposits, I thought I was pretty busy, at least more than half of the people in the village. I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t make money for doing serious things.
More than 3,000 yuan, the contract is not enough for a year. You have to buy fruit trees, vegetable seeds, fish fry, and fertilizer. Jiahui also said, don’t expect to make money in the first year. It is a long-term plan, at least until It took the second year.
“Then I will go home and discuss with my family how much to rent.”
Dong Aihua first went home and told his family. What everyone meant was that it was enough to rent 50 acres of wasteland. If there were more, it would be more troublesome to serve on mountainous land. Although the price is cheaper than wasteland, there is no need to contract more. .
Dong Aihua went to the village committee office to call Jiahui again and told Jiahui about the situation and the opinions of his family.
In order to facilitate contact, Jiahui left two numbers for Dong Aihua, one for the school’s reception office and the other for a nearby store. Dong Aihua estimated that Jiahui was at school at this time, but he called for the communication. Caught her.
“Sister, that’s the situation. You said our contract is more or less appropriate.”
Jiahui disagrees that the mountain area is only contracted for tens of acres. Maybe everyone is accustomed to seeing one thing, and does not think that relying on it can create any wealth, but as a person with a later soul, she knows a lot about relying on it. The case of land making a fortune.
“Brother, I agree to contract dozens of acres of wasteland. It is too big and requires a huge investment of manpower and material resources. Our current capacity is not enough. But my suggestion is that you should contract more in the mountains. In addition to planting fruit trees on the mountains, you can also There are medicinal materials. If the climate is right here, tea can be introduced in the future, including animal husbandry, raising chickens and sheep. Isn’t that a natural pasture?”
“Now everyone’s thinking hasn’t turned a corner. Our contracting is for us to take advantage of it. After a few years, more than ten years or even decades, the price will not be the same if we think about contracting.”
Jiahui remembers that she once watched an agricultural science and education column about how a professional farmer raised wild boars.
“If the family doesn’t make money together, I still have some here. I will go back in a few days and bring it back for you?”
“You want to come back?”
Dong Aihua wanted to ask Jiahui what she was doing when she came back, but later remembered that Jiahui’s eldest sister had a baby. It was probably because of this.
“My mother-in-law’s eldest sister has a full moon, so I have to go back and have a look.”
Sure enough, Jiahui came back because of this incident.
There are too many and too busy school. The professional training of simultaneous interpretation, the internship of the provincial party committee, and the host and performance of the New Year’s Day party are all the time that can be spared.
After Dong Aihua called home, he told Jiahui what Jiahui meant. The family members think about it. The old saying goes, “Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water.” There are many babies on the mountains. If you contract more mountains, then Shantou will be considered his own from now on.
“Then contract more hills, the one closest to our house will be contracted.”
“That’s a lot of money, right?”
Liu Xiuyun couldn’t help but spoke again.
“What are you afraid of? When the sky is falling, there is a high support, and there is me and your dad at home. Can it crush you?”
Since the mother-in-law said so, Liu Xiuyu, you will not speak, anyway, the sister-in-law said, she can support the lack of money at home, anyway, the money does not come from her own pocket, what is she afraid of? In her head, she can still benefit from it.
That’s what happened. The Dong family decided to contract fifty acres of wasteland, as well as the sunny side of the mountain closest to their home. As for the back, it was from another village. The two villages planted a tree on the top of the mountain. The tree is the boundary, and each does not interfere.
“So much? You want that whole mountain area?”
When Dong Haotian heard Dong Aihua’s words, he almost dropped his chin.
“Yeah, I’m just waiting for you anyway, just wrap it all up.”
Dong Haotian nodded, thinking that their family is really rich, so a large area, almost a thousand acres of land, right?
Real people don’t show their faces. Some people look ordinary, but they didn’t expect their families to be so solid.
“Okay, I’ll take someone to measure the land in the afternoon, and you can follow along and take a look.”
The mountain is no better than the flat land. You have to climb the mountain and measure it. Dong Haotian is looking for a few young clever guys in the village. Forget it, directly priced at 732 acres.
That night, the Dong family didn’t even bother to eat. For such a place, if you go home and count, you will have to pay more than 4,000 yuan in rent each year. Now all the savings in the family are less than this amount, even if the team agrees to pay for half a year. The pressure on a rent is not small.
What if you don’t make money? What if you lose money? That is the savings of the whole family for decades! Use one point to lose one point.
Chen Guixiang picked up his chopsticks, patted the table, and said in a loud voice, “Okay, don’t be downcast. If you have already decided, think about the unpleasant things. It’s better to eat and dry.”
“Aihua, you will send the money to your brother Haotian tomorrow. When the land is drawn down, everyone will go to the land to clean up. If you clean up the day earlier, you can earn money the day earlier.”
After Chen Guixiang had finished speaking, everyone seemed to have the backbone, and their spirits came in an instant.
Yes, although there is less money at home, there is also so much more land at the same time! The thought that the whole mountain behind the house is my own, gave birth to the pride of having the whole world.
“Hey, okay, let’s eat quickly. If this dish is cold, I will take it to the kitchen and reheat it.”
Zhou Yindi was also happy. All these big and small things in the family were handled by his own men. Among the three brothers, the most trusted in-laws were their own men.
This is the case for women, their men have a face, and they have a face too.
As for Dong Aimin and Dong Aiguo, the eldest brother was born as the eldest brother. It is right for his parents to entrust his eldest brother with important tasks. He has nothing to fight for. With his parents, can he still suffer?
Besides, Liu Xiuyun and Zhao Lijuan married later than Zhou Yindi. In so many years, the sister-in-law was the most proud daughter-in-law in the mother-in-law’s heart. Like their husbands, they have long been accustomed to the mother-in-law’s behavior. Grab, very harmonious.
50 acres of wasteland, 732 acres of mountainous land, the rent for half a year is 2,130, Dong Haotian wiped out a fraction of the 30 yuan.
…
The child born to Zhao Caixia at the end of October was a little girl. Zhang Qiaoer called to report the joy, saying that the little girl was white and fat, and she was a little beautiful embryo, very much like the big girl when she was a child.
After Zhao Caixia gave birth, Zhang Qiaoer and Meixiang took turns to wait for Zhao Caixia’s confinement. Li Wangping was not busy with the restaurant’s business alone, and several concubines from the Li family came to help.
Speaking of the Li family, they are all trivial things. The conditions of the Li family are not as good as those of the Zhao family. Li Wangping is not the most beloved child of her parents. Zhao Caixia married, because she was soft-tempered and was squeezed by a few concubines. Unfortunately, after the mother-in-law passed away, and the brothers separated their families, life was better.
When they were separated, their husbands and wives got the least property. There was no iron pan for cooking, no dishes for eating, Zhao Caixia was busy outside her house, and two children took care of her. In winter, her hands were frozen and her head was purple. No After being careful, she gave birth to the sore of the boss. If Zhang Qiaoer was not worried about her daughter going to take a look, I am afraid that Zhao Caixia would not go back to her mother’s house to speak.
Now, when the couple opened a restaurant, everyone knew that the restaurant business was good for making money, and these brothers and sisters finally took the opportunity to move forward.
“How is Linlin today, have you felt trouble?”
“No, I slept well.”
Zhao Caixia confinement in the Meixiang dormitory, the restaurant environment is noisy, it is certainly not suitable for pregnant women and children, Meixiang thought that there are still a few empty rooms in the dormitory without people, after the school leaders agreed, let Zhao Meixia confinement here.
Meixiang put the chicken soup on the bedside table for the older sister to drink.
“How is the store? Is business good?”
“Very good, a lot of guests.”
“Where is your brother-in-law, come here busy?”
The family didn’t tell Zhao Caixia the bad things, because they were afraid of affecting her confinement mood.
“Well, I’m looking for someone to help.”
Meixiang handed the rice over, “Sister, don’t worry, eat first, you won’t have time to eat properly when Linlin wakes up.”
Zhao Caixia nodded and began to drink chicken soup.
In fact, the shop is now in a mess. Today, several concubines quarreled, and the money was collected in a mess. The brother-in-law was too anxious, but he was too honest and said that he couldn’t talk about others, and in the end he was taken away by others. .
They said that they are all brothers, and the discounted bones are connected to the tendons. Now that the brothers are in difficulties, they are all here to help, and they are not allowed to help. Then you are small-minded and caressed. Don’t care about it, why, are you still in your mind?
If these words were told to the elder sister, Mei Xiang felt that the eldest sister could vomit blood.
Jiahui and Donglin Donghe took advantage of the weekend and returned with their children. The two brothers went to the restaurant first, and Jiahui came directly to Zhao Caixia.
“Sister.”
Jiahui smiled and opened the door, Zhao Caixia just got out of bed to wash Linlin’s diapers.
These days, there are no diapers. The diapers are all hand-washed.
“Come on, this water is a bit cold.”
“No, I just add some hot water.”
“It’s okay, what’s the matter with my aunt, washing a diaper for my niece.”
Jiahui put down the things she had brought, and said with a smile, “Sister, you put it away first, I will look at my niece before washing it.”
Linlin slept sweetly, pouting her mouth, her hands were very small, and her skin was red. Jiahui was moved by the sight. The memory dragged her to the time when Fang Fang was just born.
“It’s great, the child is the simplest and most beautiful existence in the world. It’s great.”
“You like children so much, you should have more.”
Jiahui shook her head, “The energy is limited, I can’t be too busy, and I can’t live it when I like it.”
Love to have a football team again?
“If you give birth, my mother will bring it to you, but I can’t help it.”
Jiahui smiled, “Sister, depending on what you said, we just follow the fate, we will definitely want it when we really come.”
They are very serious about contraception for their studies. Jiahui also talked to Zhao Donglin. She doesn’t want to get pregnant anymore. There are already three children in the family. Although the black egg and Yingbao were not born to her, her care for them is the same. , I look forward to them as my own, and hope that they will become talents, independent and self-reliant, and have a bright future.
Zhao Donglin expressed his respect for Jiahui’s wishes. After all, it was Jiahui who was suffering from having a child. When she was in her arms, he was very distressed when she saw that she could not eat well and sleep well.
Therefore, on the issue of fertility, he fully respects Jiahui’s wishes, and the consensus of the couple is not to deliberately ask for it, and to accept it if there is an accident.
Of course, this situation only needs to be maintained for a few years, and after a few years, the country will implement family planning.
