Reborn 1980: The Peasant Girl of Vanves

Chapter 278 Gossip
Facing Boss Hu's questioning, Li Qiang's expression remained unchanged.

He has been the head of the village for several years, and it would be a waste of his time if he can't handle this mess.

"Ah, what you're talking about was the past. That was when the team was just formed. Now it's no longer possible. To open up wasteland, you have to report to the village. Then, according to the regulations above, you have to pay per mu of land every year, agricultural tax and so on."

"When did this saying come about? Last year, no one else opened up wasteland!

Why do you have to pay for the wasteland? Could it be that the higher-ups would rather leave it unused than let us grow it? "The blood vessels on Mr. Hu's grand forehead burst, and his face was filled with the helplessness of the people at the bottom.

Although he kept saying "upper", in fact, he himself didn't know who the so-called superior was.

"Whether it's wasteland or fertile land, it belongs to the state, and if it belongs to the state, you have to pay. How dare we ordinary people take advantage of the state?" As soon as Li Qiang mentioned the word "state", Boss Hu was taken aback.

How dare I take advantage of the country when I am a grassroots person!

His arrogance fell, and even his waist was bent.

It took him two months to open up this wasteland, and he wanted to grow some beans and save them for making tofu at home.

If I had known earlier that I would pay for it, it would be better not to open it. For the first three years after the wasteland was opened, no grain was harvested at all.

Boss Hu's face was full of grievances and helplessness.

Li Qiang saw that Boss Hu was being honest, so he looked around and asked, "Boss Hu, your mother has been very busy these days?
Are you busy helping Shi Ting introduce someone again?
When this person is old, he should rest at home, keep the media for the rest of his life, and he should retire. "

After saying this, he looked at Boss Hu with a big smile and said, "Actually, it's not impossible to solve this matter. The people above don't come to check how much arable land there is in the village. Why don't we report it to the police?

All right, think about it yourself, I'll go first. "

When Li Qiang left, Boss Hu was scratching his head and couldn't turn it around.

What does Li Qiang mean?
He also said to report, and said that the village needs to report to the police, and also mentioned that the matchmaker, the mother, should retire.

What does he mean?
During dinner, Boss Hu's family got together, and Boss Hu talked about what happened today.

Who is Matchmaker Hu?It was going around in circles among the crowd, very outfield.

Much smarter than her son.

After drinking a bowl of polenta, Matchmaker Hu slapped her thigh, "Yes, I know what's going on!"

"What's the matter?" Boss Hu looked at his old lady, still unable to figure it out.

"Some time ago, didn't Li Qiang ask me to match him with Shi Ting? Shi Ting didn't want to!
He said this again today, obviously because he was still thinking about Shi Ting, and it was a warning to me not to worry about it.

If the matchmaker really succeeds, he will expropriate our family's wasteland!

That's the thing, that's right! "

Matchmaker Hu suddenly remembered the person Shi Ting saw a few days ago.

The man said that some people said that Shi Ting was always on the go, didn't she just meet Li Qiang that day!
Matchmaker Hu broke out in a cold sweat.

It is said that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and this is really the case!
This meal can't be eaten anymore, Hu Matchmaker puts on her shoes and goes to the ground, she has to find Cheng Laosan, Shi Ting can't be seen.

You can't take your son's land because of a few matchmakers.

Matchmaker Hu rushed to the third uncle's house, and by virtue of her sharp tongue, picked out the same matchmaker again.

It's nothing more than saying that she doesn't know people well, and she was shocked when she heard that the man had a hidden disease just now.

You can't cheat Shiting, hurry up and deliver a letter to Yunyun.

The three uncles and aunts mentioned were also afraid, but fortunately they didn't see each other. If they saw it, they would throw the daughter into the fire pit again.

Matchmaker Hu came out from the third uncle's house and went to Li Qiang's house in person.

She told Li Qiang very cryptically that she didn't care about Shi Ting's affairs, and she didn't care how much money she gave.

Li Qiang smiled and praised Matchmaker Hu as sensible, after all, she was older than young people.

He also made it clear that as long as no one reported the wasteland opened by Boss Hu, his family would be allowed to plant it.

If the people don't raise officials and don't investigate, if others don't talk about it, if he doesn't talk about it, then the people above won't know!
Three uncle's house.

The whole family sighed, even the dinner was left over from noon, and it was not even hot, and it was served up and down again. Several people had no appetite, and no one ate.

At night, they were all lying on the kang, and the third aunt still sighed, "Old man, if you want me to say that Shi Ting, it should be because of the bad luck in the past, that's why everything goes wrong.

Let's not rush to say kiss to her, let's meet slowly.

One failed and the other failed, the children were all hit, didn't you see that Shi Ting has lost weight in the past few days?

It's not that our family can't afford to support the two of them, so why do we have to find a son-in-law!
Our old couple doesn't mean that we are going to die tomorrow, so let's take our time. "

The third uncle was lying on the kang, with his head sticking out of the edge of the kang, and the cigarette butt was on and off.

After being silent for a long time, he said in a low voice, "This is the only way to do it, what else can I do?

It was good the first time I saw it. Who knows which turtle grandson didn't speak well of our Shi Ting, so let's put this matter aside.

You also want to open some, I think you seem to be not quite right recently, do you feel bad?

If not, let's go and have a look. Don't delay if you are sick. "

The third aunt closed her eyes, and a string of tears flowed down in the dark night, "No, people are old, parts are worn out, it's normal to feel uncomfortable here and there.

Now that life is better and the food is better than before, what disease can there be?

I can't be so unlucky, can I? "

"Um……"

The third uncle stubbed out the cigarette and shrank back into the bed. The old couple were thinking about their own thoughts and didn't sleep well all night.

On the second day, because the moon said that the peach blossoms in the greenhouse were blooming, the number of bees had decreased for some reason.

Maybe the beekeepers moved away.

So let the workers each take a brush and artificially pollinate the peach blossoms.

Because this work is meticulous, someone must watch it, for fear that some will not be awarded and the production will be delayed.

A flower is a big peach.

The third aunt also went to the shed with Runyue.

After working for a while, I felt that my dizziness was getting more and more serious. The third aunt supported the peach tree and stood for a while before going home.

Leap month is worried, and wants to send a piece in person.

When passing the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, the women weaving baskets were chatting while working.

Because she was too attentive, she didn't see Third Aunt and Runyue coming over.

"Hey, do you know? I heard that Shi Ting is having an affair with the village chief?"

"Isn't it? A few days ago, Li Qiang's mother asked someone to propose a marriage. Didn't Cheng's family agree?"

"If you don't agree, maybe it's Cheng and his wife who don't agree, maybe Xu Shiting and Li Qiang are secretly hooking up."

"Who did you hear this from? It's unlikely, right?"

"Improbable? If others say it's impossible, I've heard what Li Qiang's mother said with my own ears.

Can she still bury her own son? "

"What did she say? You can learn from us!"
