Lin Huiyao smiled and nodded at her, took out a bag of seeds from his bag and handed it to her.
Chen Zhaozhao happily took the seeds and said, "Great!"
"My fourth uncle sent someone to talk to the village chief. He's at the back. He'll be there in a minute."
"Yeah." Chen Zhaozhao nodded, "How much was the final price per acre?"
"Thirty yuan." Lin Huiyao said.
This price is very high for land in the village.
Ten acres means three hundred yuan. People in the village will definitely agree.
Sure enough, people from the factory came to see Zhao Youchang this morning.
Zhao Youchang held a meeting in the evening to discuss this matter, and everyone unanimously agreed.
Finally, it was decided after discussion that after the money came in, part of it would be kept as collective funds, and the rest would be divided into seven pieces per family.
Seven yuan is what a family of five people can earn by working for three and a half days.
Now, many people are very happy because they made more than three days of money for nothing on a piece of barren mountain land.
I feel like I've made a lot of money.
Now everyone has differences, some are willing to plant and some are not.
It's better to collect it like this.
In fact, those who are willing to farm on that piece of land are worried.
After all, it was too barren before, and they were afraid that the land would be good at growing soybeans but not other crops, so it would be best if they could get money.
If we use it to plant soybeans next year, if the weather is bad on that mountain and the planting fails, it will be in vain.
Moreover, you have to turn in the soybean cultivation, and you only get a few cents for the rest.
It's better to get seven yuan now.
Besides, the land is not in a collective field. If soybeans are grown, it will be troublesome if the grain station does not harvest them.
Everyone is happy when they can get money.
After all, this way, I get more money than I had planned to grow vegetables before.
After the whole village agreed, Zhao Youchang went to the town food factory to sign the contract the next day.
Lin Guohua released the loan the next day after signing the contract.
That night, Zhao Youchang held a meeting to share the money.
The next day I asked people to go farm.
The town told him that ten people would be required to farm the land for 50 cents a day, so he made his own decision and chose ten people.
There are two members of his own family, the village party secretary, one member of the village accountant's family, and the rest are members of his relatives' families.
When the villagers heard about this arrangement, they felt unbalanced but did not dare to say anything more.
Originally, Zhao Youchang came to ask Chen Zhaozhao if he wanted his family to go.
Chen Zhaozhao refused, and very politely said that he would give the place to his family or relatives.
Zhao Youchang was very happy when he heard those words.
The days have calmed down...
Chen Zhaozhao and the others loaded water every day, while Chen Dawang and Zhang Genshan either burned charcoal or went up the mountain to chop wood.
After they no longer have to sell vegetables, they have much less work to do and their lives are much easier.
In particular, Chen Zhaozhao took the tap water from the well and installed five faucets, which made the task of filling the water easier.
Chen Ermei and Wang Sanmei did it very quickly, and Chen Zhaozhao didn't even have time to get started.
She just plays with Xiaoni every day, works in the vegetable patch, and studies delicious food.
From now on, I have more time to read and study.
She also made key notes for her sisters.
Wang Sanmei heard about the college entrance examination and was very envious. However, she had never gone to school for a day, didn't know a word, and couldn't even write her own name.
Chen Zhaozhao took out his books and asked her to learn to read at night.
If she thinks like this, there is definitely no hope of getting into college, but if she can read, she will be much better at whatever she goes out to do in the future than she is now.
Wang Sanmei is not greedy either. Being able to read is very good for her.
She felt that only when she was at Chen Zhaozhao's house did she feel alive.
She never knew that rural people could live such a good life.
Especially the food made by Chen Zhaozhao, she was so moved that she cried when she ate it for the first time.
She was very happy that God allowed her to meet Chen Zhaozhao.
Therefore, she worked very hard every day, and she was also quite diligent. She did all the cleaning, feeding the chickens, ducks and pigs.
Chen Zhaozhao now raises a large group of chickens, ten ducks, and two pigs at home.
After there were fewer people in the family, there were a lot of trivial tasks. Before, Chen Zhaozhao and Chen Ermei did them together.
Now that they have a good Wang Sanmei, it will be much easier for them.
Chen Ermei has time to sew clothes.
And she first sewed for Wang Sanmei. After all, other people in the family had many clothes, but Wang Sanmei didn't have many.
This moved Wang Sanmei so much that she felt like she could do the same job as three others.
In her words, she had nothing to repay them except to work more.
Chen Zhaozhao really felt that she had found a treasure. She never knew that one person could be so powerful when working alone.
However, she asked Wang Sanmei to act within his ability and not to overwork himself.
When the family members are free, we also do all the chores together, so we don’t really leave them all to Wang Sanmei.
That evening, Chen Simei came back.
Seeing her come back happily, Chen Zhaozhao knew that she and Lu Linfeng were on good terms.
Sure enough, as soon as she came in and greeted everyone, she said, "Comrade Lu will come tomorrow to propose marriage."
"Really?" Chen Damei was very happy.
Others are also happy, they all think highly of Lu Linfeng.
Only Chen Zhaozhao frowned.
Chen Simei explained her agreement with Lu Linfeng, and finally said: "He will come with his fourth uncle tomorrow."
"Okay." Chen Dawang said, "I'll go to town to buy some meat tomorrow morning."
"Hey, okay, please dad."
"No." Chen Dawang smiled.
Their daughter's marriage is the most important thing for the couple now. The daughter can find a good family to marry.
It is what makes him happiest, so of course he has to contribute.
Just, "What's the attitude of his family?"
Chen Simei didn't say anything that Lu Linfeng's family didn't agree with.
Chen Dawang knew about Lu Linfeng's family conditions and was a little worried.
I originally thought that since I was going to propose marriage, I must agree, right?
But I was still not sure, so I asked.
When Chen Simei heard this question, she pursed her lips and the smile on her face froze.
She glanced at Chen Zhaozhao questioningly, and Chen Zhaozhao shook his head.
The last time she came back from meeting Chen Simei, she didn't tell her family about her. After all, she didn't know what the outcome would be.
Chen Simei bit her lower lip and said, "His family... doesn't agree."
Chen Dawang's heart sank, "Don't agree?"
Chen Damei and the others also suppressed their smiles and looked at her questioningly.
"If his family doesn't agree, it will be difficult for him to get married." Chen Dawang said worriedly.
Chen Damei and Chen Ermei nodded in agreement.
Especially Chen Ermei, she has shadows about getting married.
If you want to marry, you must marry a good family who can accept her well. Otherwise, life will be hard and you will be the one to suffer.
"It's just an engagement now, and it won't be until next year. It still takes such a long time. If his family is too strong to obstruct the marriage and the marriage fails, it will have a great impact on his reputation." Chen Ermei said.
All Chen Simei's joy suddenly cooled down. She just heard Lu Linfeng say that it doesn't matter if her family doesn't agree now.
He would ask his family to agree and just think it would be okay.
Because she knew that Lu Linfeng liked her, she was so happy that she didn't think much about it.
"What Ermei said makes sense, we need to think about this matter carefully," Chen Damei said.
Chen Simei bit her lip, feeling very sad. She looked at Chen Zhaozhao for help, "What do you think, Zhaozhao?"
Chen Zhaozhao felt that what his sisters said made sense, "It is indeed too hasty to get engaged now. If Comrade Lu wants to get engaged first, it is best to go through the hurdles at his home first."
When she saw Chen Simei coming back happily, she thought she and Lu Linfeng had broken the window and were having sex.
As for the engagement, Lu Linfeng's family still doesn't agree, so they must first find a partner.
Who knew Lu Linfeng's plan would be so bold.
Ignoring the objections of my family, I decided on my own.
"Then... what should we do now?" Chen Simei's face fell. She felt that her family's concerns were right.
But she had already agreed with Lu Linfeng to propose marriage tomorrow.
