For him, time has now become a luxury. After mining the river sand, a large piece of wasteland was exposed. Because it was covered by river sand all year round, the exposed wasteland was dark and too big, covering eight acres of land.

.

It could have been bigger. In the original idea, it would have been nearly twenty acres of land, which would have surpassed my father-in-law's crop land.

Unexpectedly, after the river sand was mined, some villagers asked for part of it back. They also took out a yellowed land deed and pointed out with reasonable evidence which places belonged to their ancestors. Now that the river sand was gone, the wasteland should be returned to them.

.

Zhang Guoquan was reluctant at first. Land deeds are something that belongs to the older generation and were canceled six or seven years ago. Now they are all in red books.

Do you think land deeds are still legally valid now? In fact, there is one point. When land use rights are unclear, many places will still rely on land deeds as explanations. There is no other way, there must be an explanation.

This is also Zhao Chunniu's opinion. After all, the villagers are very difficult to deal with. Zhang Guoquan also realizes this. He is an intruder. It would be good to have wasteland for reclamation. The wasteland also belongs to the village collective. If the villagers are unhappy, then

He couldn't even cultivate the last wasteland.

Zhang Guoquan had to take a step back, which made him deeply realize that he still had a long way to go if he wanted to survive.

There is also a part that Zhang Guoquan cannot use. The river sand that has just been excavated is more concave on both sides. Over the years, new river beaches will surely gradually form. This is easy to handle. Under the advice of the older generation, the land next to it is

Poplar trees are planted on the wasteland on the river bank to form a forest, which consolidates the soil quality of the river beach and slows down the retention of river sand.

It is definitely not a bad thing to plant more trees, Zhang Guoquan also agrees, otherwise the first to suffer in the future will be his cultivated crop land.

Therefore, in the end, the original twenty acres of wasteland shrank sharply to the current eight acres, and Zhang Guoquan was very satisfied.

If this were in his village, eight acres of land would be considered a large household.

Bai Ge also agreed. There were too many crops, and Guoquan could not handle it alone. She would be exhausted. She did not seek wealth and wealth, even if it was just mediocre and stuttering, she felt it was enough with Zhang Guoquan.

The most distressing thing is Old Monster Yang. He knows that now that the second son-in-law has his own crop land, he will definitely not come back.

What is even more distressing is that the eldest son-in-law went to the river beach to mine river sand with the others when he had nothing to do. He did a lot less work at home, but he was much more cheerful and talked more. Anyway, the river sand mining is finished now.

, the eldest son-in-law must be back, he is very sure of this, and for him, it can be regarded as the last bit of comfort.

Compared to the two sons-in-law, Yang Lei was the only one who made him the most distressed. Several old guys finally got him votes and became the village party secretary. But now it's better that he has become a fool, and the village party secretary has also fallen into the same trap.

Zhao Chunniu's head.

The old guys are all old. From now on, these old guys will no longer have a say in the affairs of the village. Every time he thinks about it, it makes him extremely depressed.

The drizzle fell on the fields. Zhang Guoquan kept pulling the mud with his head, put it into the bucket, and then dragged it to the low-lying area where he was going to plant trees and laid it underneath.

It was obvious that summer was about to enter. In this transitional season between spring and summer, the drizzle still felt cold on his body. He could only work harder to get rid of the coldness in his body.

When he straightened up, he held the wooden handle of the hoe with his hand, looking at the continuous drizzle in the distance. When he looked at it, it was white. The green in the poplar forest had faded, and the reeds could only be seen.

A rough outline is drawn, as if there are only these white water curtains left between heaven and earth.

How is Yang Lei's investigation going? Is there any direction to investigate? This is also a question that Zhang Guoquan will think deeply about after working hard, and he won't even bother to listen to the radio.

Even Bai Ge said that he was going crazy, but soon, he no longer had the mind to think about it.

Because, the fourth brother Zhang Guozheng is back.

It was Guozheng who came to Yangjiazhuang to look for him. It was still raining and it didn't stop.

When he saw Guozheng, Zhang Guoquan was so surprised that he suddenly remembered that half a year had passed since Guozheng last modified the machine and now all the river sand had been mined, and Guozheng was back. He sighed, how could time be like this?

quick.

When Guozheng comes back, of course he will get married, as he said last time when he was digging a cellar in the yard.

Zhang Guo has forgotten everything. Really, he has been busy mining river sand non-stop. In addition, he was very worried about Yang Lei and Zhao Chunniu during this period. The worst thing is the endless spring rain.

, the pace of reclaiming wasteland has also slowed down a lot.

All these things made him forget the existence of time and forget that his fourth brother Guozheng said he would come back to get married around this time. He was really sorry for his fourth brother.

Guozheng helped Third Brother dig up the soil on the wasteland, and said at the same time: "Third Brother, what do you think you are suffering from? Uncle Yang is willing to give you crop land, and you still come here to suffer this crime."

Zhang Guoquan did not answer his question, but instead asked with a smile on his face: "When will you get your wife?"

Zhang Guozheng put his hoe in the ground and said with a happy face: "It's almost time, the wedding will be held in a week."

"Well, that's a good thing. Will Huiru's parents come?" Zhang Guoquan continued to work hard and asked casually.

"I'm not coming, it's too far, and third brother, let me tell you something. Don't be angry." Zhang Guozheng suddenly said mysteriously.

Zhang Guoquan had never seen him like this when he was a child. Anyway, every time the fourth brother was mysterious, it was definitely not good.

"Tell me, you also want to marry a wife and have a family in the future."

"In fact, Huiru and I have already arranged the wedding at her parents' side?" Zhang Guozheng said hesitantly.

"Ah?" Zhang Guoquan was suddenly shocked: "Has it been done? Does our father know?"

A wedding is a big deal, and Guozheng's first wedding, as the third brother, he didn't even know about it, so he couldn't attend, and his parents weren't present. What a joke, and he suddenly became a little angry.

Zhang Guozheng saw something was wrong on the third brother's face and said quickly: "Third brother, don't be angry. I just thought that the road was too far and would be inconvenient for both parties. This is what Hui Ru meant."

He deliberately moved Huiru out so that the third brother would not be angry. After saying this, Zhang Guozheng peeked at the third brother and quickly lowered his head to work with a guilty conscience.

At the same time, he muttered: "I have to go home and hold it again. Just pretend that the wedding I held before doesn't exist. Anyway, don't tell dad. If dad's temper knows that I have held a wedding,

You have to beat me to death."

With that said, he was no longer interested in working. He straightened up and said to Zhang Guoquan: "Third brother, you are the most sensible person."

Zhang Guoquan was also in no mood to work and said with a smile, "You kid, don't wear a high hat with me. You have been like this since you were a child. You can follow your own temper."

At this point, Zhang Guoquan sighed: "Well, third brother is not angry, but he is worried about you. Honestly, people look down on us rural people, so they don't want to hold a wedding here."

"Third brother, look what you said, I'm not that kind of person."

"Third brother, I don't mean anything else. You also know that third brother came here by knocking on the door. I know better than you the feeling of living under someone else's roof. It's not a pleasant feeling. To be honest, for a family like Hui Ru, we are really above our reach.

"Zhang Guoquan said helplessly.

"Third brother, look at you thinking like this, how dare I tell my father that Huiru is not that kind of person, otherwise why would she come here to hold another wedding?" Zhang Guozheng explained.

Finally, Zhang Guoquan nodded: "Yes, Hui Ru is a good girl. Don't blame the third brother for thinking too much. It is true that some people and things are difficult to see through."

He has experienced so much during this period, which made him understand that under the quiet village, in the peaceful village, there are enthusiastic villagers. On the surface, they all appear to be simple and kind-hearted, but some people are doing a lot of evil things behind their backs.

Things that are known to everyone.

Even if he stabs you in the back, you don't even know.

He truly realized the complexity of human nature, and it was not easy for him to just live a peaceful life.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Guozheng realized that there was something wrong with the third brother. The third brother was not like this before. He was always full of sunshine and positive. Why did he look so sad now?

"Third brother, are you worried about reclaiming wasteland?" Zhang Guozheng glanced at the dark river beach casually: "There is still so much left. It is indeed enough for you to work alone, but it's okay. I'll come back this time.

I will stay for a while, and then I will come over to help you cultivate the land."

Zhang Guoquan also knew that something was wrong with his expression. He didn't want Guozheng to worry, so he smiled and said: "Stop messing around, I can be busy, so you can get married properly, spend time with your wife, and don't worry about me."

Zhang Guozheng only thought that the third brother was caring about him. Anyway, he had already made up his mind. After getting married, he would come to help the third brother. The third brother's affairs were his business.

Zhang Guoquan never expected that the continuous drizzle would last for so long, nor did he expect that the drizzle would turn into heavy rain.

If possible, he should not have shown such a dejected look in front of Guozheng just now, otherwise Zi Guozheng would not come to help him.
