Chen Sanmei is also writing, but she writes very slowly. She has to stop and think before she writes a sentence.
They were all writing letters. Chen Zhaozhao wanted to write two letters, one to Yu Jinggui and one to Lin Xisi.
She had to write more, so she wrote quickly.
When she asked someone to be in the provincial capital, she decided on the chili sauce matter.
The letter he wrote to Lin Xisi was to first see if Lin Xisi's place was okay. If there was no problem there, he would then go to the village to ask.
As for the letter I wrote to Yu Jinggui, I briefly talked about the things I encountered along the way, and then talked about the soy sauce.
She wrote "shuashuashua" quickly, and Chen Sanmei looked at her, "Why don't you think twice before writing a letter?"
"Don't think about it, just write whatever comes to mind." Chen Zhaozhao chuckled, "What does Third Sister want to write to Comrade Li?"
Chen Sanmei shook her head, "I want to write a lot, but I don't know whether I should write it or not."
"Write what you want, there is nothing wrong with it."
"He and I don't know what will happen yet." Chen Sanmei sighed melancholy.
Chen Zhaozhao paused and said, "Then just say I'm safe."
"Would it seem too perfunctory and unfamiliar?"
"Then you should write more, live in the moment, and do whatever you want at the moment. As for the future, just let nature take its course."
"That's right." Chen Sanmei suddenly became enlightened, and then became sad again, "Zhaozhao, what will I do without you by my side?"
"Write me a letter and send a telegram!" Chen Zhaozhao said with a relaxed smile.
Chen Sanmei looked at her smiling face, her sorrow disappeared, and she immersed herself in writing a letter.
The next day, Chen Zhaozhao and Chen Sanmei first went to post the letter, then reported to the Academy of Fine Arts, and then went to see the land given by Fang Dongchao.
That piece of land is in the eastern suburbs of the city, close to the foot of the mountain, and is a very flat area.
There are still fields and land around, which are the bases of agricultural units or food factories, but many of them are deserted.
Because the work units or factories no longer farm, urban residents do not farm anymore.
Of course, these fields were originally allocated to the units and factories because the urban residents did not farm.
Because this is the middle area between the suburbs near the city and the countryside near the provincial capital, these fields were not classified as village collective fields because they were too far from the countryside.
Chen Zhaozhao looked at his land overgrown with weeds and was very satisfied.
She even wanted to find an opportunity to add the fields and bare hills next to her to her own name, because these lands were now looked down upon by people in the provincial capital and despised by everyone.
But when the city expands and new areas are developed in the future, the land here will become very valuable.
In the future, this area will be developed into the Chengdong New District, and the barren area today will become one of the busiest and most prosperous areas in the provincial capital.
The land here is not land, it is money~
Chen Zhaozhao smiles from ear to ear whenever he thinks about the value of his land in the future.
Chen Sanmei was speechless when she saw it, "This land is so barren and you are still so happy. What are you doing with it?"
"No matter how desolate it is, how can we open a soybean field?" Chen Zhaozhao said with a smile, "When the time comes, find someone to open up this place, and it will be a particularly good land.
You see, it’s not far from the river, has a good water source, and the terrain is high so we won’t be afraid of flooding. It’s really a very good piece of land.”
Chen Sanmei looked around, "It's all wasteland, but when you say it, it seems really good.
What do you want to plant on this land?"
"It depends on the situation. With such a wide land, we can wait until I come next year to decide what to plant."
The two looked at the ground and walked back. As soon as they left the field and reached the main road, they met three young people coming out of the village.
One of them looked familiar.
She looked at the person and suddenly had an idea.
Wang Shan was going to the provincial capital to sell things with his companions. When he suddenly saw Chen Zhaozhao, he was startled and thought he was dazzled.
"Hey~where did this fairy come from~" One of the young men looked at Chen Zhaozhao and the others and muttered something about whistling, but Wang Shan stopped him.
The man looked at Wang Shan inexplicably.
Wang Shan looked at Chen Zhaozhao with a humble smile.
"Wang Shan, long time no see." Chen Zhaozhao greeted him with a smile.
"Ouch~" Wang Shan immediately relaxed a lot and stepped forward cautiously, "Sister Zhao, why are you here? I thought I was being fooled, but I didn't expect it was really you."
"It's me." Chen Zhaozhao nodded and looked them over, "Are you going to the city to sell things?"
"Yeah, go sell some melon seeds and peanuts."
Although private sales are not allowed now, more and more educated youth are returning to the city.
More and more people are unemployed, and there are more and more hawkers wandering the streets of provincial capitals. As long as they avoid the patrols, they generally don't care too much.
Especially outside movie theaters, stations, and parks, management is looser.
"How much money can you make in a day?" Chen Zhaozhao asked.
People these days don't have privacy.
So there is nothing wrong with Chen Zhaozhao asking this.
Wang Shan smiled sheepishly, "You can make one or two yuan a day."
"That's not bad."
The average salary for people in provincial cities is only 40 yuan.
"You can't make money every day. In real terms, it's only about 20 yuan a month. And now that there are more and more people selling things, it's getting harder and harder to make money."
"I have something to do for you now, will you do it?"
"What's the matter?" Wang Shan's eyes lit up.
"That piece of land over there against the mountain." Chen Zhaozhao pointed over there.
Wang Shan nodded, "I know, it is the planting base of the No. 1 Food Factory."
"It's mine now."
Wang Shan and his companions were instantly shocked.
"This, this, this is yours?" Wang Shan said incredulously.
"Yes." Chen Zhaozhao took out a piece of official paper from his bag, "This is the land deed."
Wang Shan looked over and saw that it was true. He immediately looked at Chen Zhaozhao with admiration.
"The fields are so barren that I have to find someone to clear them up. Can you do this?"
"Yes." Wang Shan agreed immediately.
"That piece of land is ten acres. You can find someone to hoe the weeds, dig the ridges, plant things, and manage it. I'll do it all for you, okay?"
"Okay, absolutely okay, sister, what are you going to plant?"
Chen Zhaozhao thought for a while and said: "Let's find a place to have a good chat about the details."
"Hey, okay, okay." Wang Shan agreed excitedly and looked at his two companions, "Do you want to do it?"
"No, no, no." The two shook their heads.
They just don't want to farm, so they come out to sell things.
Who would be willing to work hard to dig the land when you can make money by selling things? Wang Shan is very stupid.
After the two refused, they left directly.
Chen Zhaozhao and the other three went to a nearby teahouse to discuss specific cooperation matters.
"I'm going to plant broad beans in this field. I'll give you the entire initial investment of fifty yuan. I'll hoe it in ten days at the earliest and dig the ridges, okay?"
"Okay, that must be done!" Wang Shan was so excited that he knew that his choice was right.
The grass in this field is not very deep. Give him fifty yuan, and he can find two people and it will be done in three or four days.
Even if it lasts four days, if three people share it, they can earn more than four yuan a day, which is not much better than selling melon seeds.
"After you dig it, you have to plant it. I will provide fertilizer and seeds, and you will manage it later. It costs 40 yuan a month. When the broad beans are finally harvested, I will give you 10%.
For that 10% of broad beans, you can ask for the broad beans, or you can exchange them with me for money, how about that?"
