I live in the countryside

Chapter 136 Contracting (1 more)
Hearing Qiao Churan's words that he wanted to contract the land and expand the planting, the aunts looked at each other and were stunned.

Chen Mei explained next to her: "Actually, it's the same as renting land in the village. Ranran just doesn't use it to grow rice, corn and soybeans, but to grow melons. Now the melons grown this season are good and sell well. What about her? I just want to expand the planting and plant dozens of acres."

There are also people in Qingxi Village who rent out land. There are four or five mu of dry land for each family here. But nowadays, young and middle-aged people often go out to work. Each family farms, and only collects one or two hundred catties of rice per mu per year as rent.

So it's not that Qiao Churan and Chen Mei couldn't understand what Qiao Churan said, but everyone just thought that even if Qiao Churan expanded his planting, he would only plant three to five acres of land for his family, not on such a large scale.

Qiao Churan further explained: "The land of our Qiao family is basically placed together, not far from each other. The dry land behind the village is flat and suitable for expanding planting. I thought, if everyone's land Collect them all together, plant them centrally, manage them centrally, and when they mature, sell them centrally. At that time, I will give you the annual cost of the land at a suitable price, which is equivalent to investing with me. You invest in the land and I invest in funds. , planting, and management, what do you think?"

Although the people in Qingxi Village have also heard that many people in other places outside are no longer interested in farming. It can also be seen in the TV news that other places are all land transfers and contracted development, which is less than the annual income of farming. He needs to be taller, but everyone never imagined that this thing would happen in such a small place as Qingxi Village one day.

When watching the TV news, I was envious in my heart and eyes, wishing that a big boss would come to save Qingxi Village one day, but when it really happened, I was more worried.

"Ranran, why do you want to do such a large plantation? What if it's not easy to sell after there are too many?"

If there are too many vegetables in the market, the price will be reduced, and it will not be easy to sell. The same is true for growing melons. Everyone is worried.

Qiao Churan said: "If there are more, there are more sales methods. If there is no mistake, I will continue to plant the second season around August, and the harvest will be in November. According to the busy farming season, in early July, our village The corn in the dry land will be harvested, and the land will be empty by then. In previous years, everyone planted the second season of corn, but the harvest of the second season's corn is not as good as the first time. Would you like to contract the land to me? To grow cantaloupe, I will build a greenhouse and plant it like this season, and I will contract everyone’s dry land according to the contract fee of 4 yuan a year for one mu of land.”

4000 yuan!
Everyone gasped.

Good guy, the corn in an acre of cornfield is sold for only a thousand dollars, and Ranran has spent a lot of money!

This number looks attractive, but land is the lifeblood of rural people, so it can't be said that it is contracted out. Although the men are working outside, but these women are still in the village. If the land is contracted out, in the future What are you doing?

You can't go out to work, go out to work, what should the children do, what should the elderly do?

Listening to everyone's worries, Qiao Churan said again: "At present, the paddy fields in our village continue to grow rice. I don't want to contract paddy fields. It's not suitable. It's mainly dry land."

"The dry land contract, do you want to gather everyone's land together, and even the ridges have to be demolished?"

Qiao Churan paused and nodded: "That's the way it is."

After hearing this, the aunts were not very happy, and worried: "If this is the case, then I don't want to rent in the future, so what should I do?"

"Also, if the land is returned to us in the future, how will the ridge be divided and what should we do if something goes wrong?"

"That's right. That's right."

These are issues of concern to everyone, after all, land is a big deal.

Qiao Churan patiently and sincerely said: "To be honest, in terms of land, if you rent it with everyone, it must be rented for ten years. I'm not good, and it's not good for the land."

"Ah!" Everyone was shocked: "Ten years of rent, this... so long?"

In ten years, some of their sons are going to start a family and start a business. When the time comes to get a wife, what if the woman dislikes that they don't have any land in their family and the land is rented out to others?
"Also, Ranran, you have been in love for the past ten years, haven't you, and you should get married next year, how will you take care of the land at home?"

Qiao Churan knew the worries of the aunts who hadn't finished talking, so she smiled and said: "Auntie, after ten years, I don't know how much the changes will be. With the development, everyone's life is getting better and better, and the land in the village may be invested in planting and development, unlike now where every family is farming."

"The one on the TV news?"

Qiao Churan nodded, smiled and said, "Yes, if other people can develop it, so can we. Besides, even if I get married, Qingxi Village is also my natal family, and I can still take care of it, let alone such a big one. I don’t take care of the land by myself, and I may still be paid by then, please help me, my aunts.”

Qiao Churan spoke sincerely, and the aunts immediately laughed when they heard it.

Qiao Churan continued: "The sales you mentioned are actually not a big problem. Two or three years ago, who would have thought that it would be possible to broadcast live through the Internet without people coming to your door? We can sell the fruits from our countryside to the big cities. Isn’t it possible now? With the advancement of technology, maybe in a few years, live broadcast sales will develop better than now. Our fruits will not only be sold to major cities , and can be sold abroad!"

What Qiao Churan said makes sense. Although the villagers live in the countryside, they are not really ignorant of the outside world. Just like ten years ago, there was only one phone in the village, but now nine out of ten people can use it. Are you on your phone?

This world is changing too fast and too much, and they are far behind.

But renting land is still a big deal. After listening to Qiao Churan's words, the aunts felt better, and said, "Ranran, this is too big a deal. I have to go back and discuss it with your uncle."

"Yeah, you said that to us suddenly, we can't agree to it, we have to go back and discuss it with your uncle."

Qiao Churan understood: "Of course, what I said is to let everyone think about it more. You can't just agree to it once I say it. Don't worry. It's only May, and there is still time to think about it. Even if you want to do something, you can do it." We have to wait until everyone has harvested this season's corn, right?"

"That's right, Ranran, don't worry, I will definitely discuss this matter with your uncle when I go back. No matter what, I will make it clear to you in the end."

The members of the Qiao family had a clear attitude. Although they didn't agree, they didn't completely reject Qiao Churan either.

Qiao Churan naturally understands that the land matter is a major matter, and it must be carefully considered, and it may take ten days and a half months to make a decision.

Incomparable to others, Third Aunt Qiao is Qiao Churan's own aunt. She watched Qiao Churan's cantaloupe all the way, growing up from scratch. She also knew how well Qiao Churan sold. When Yiyao bought study materials, he helped Qiao Yue and his brother to buy them together, and there were a lot of extracurricular books. The little girl Qiao Yue couldn't bear to put it down as soon as she got home. look.

The third aunt knew that Ranran made money by doing this, not to mention that the two families are brothers, and the land was divided into two when grandpa was still there, and they were all next to each other, so she took the initiative to tell Qiao Churan , "Ranran, Third Aunt believes in you. After harvesting the corn, you will use all the land at home to grow melons, along with my share."

Third Uncle Qiao is not at home, and she can't do so much land when she is at home alone. If she can take care of the few acres of paddy fields, she can eat and drink enough. It's better to let Qiao Churan grow melons, and the income will be more.

Qiao Churan was not surprised by Third Aunt's decision, and immediately agreed: "Okay, Third Aunt will hand over the land to me, and you won't suffer any losses if I keep it."

Hearing this, Third Aunt couldn't help laughing.

In addition to Third Aunt Qiao, in the afternoon, the fourth aunt in the clan also heard the news, so she took the initiative to come to the door and said that she was willing to give Qiao Churan two plots of cantaloupe land that were relatively similar to hers to grow cantaloupe.

The fourth auntie made this decision to thank Qiao Churan for helping Qiao Mei back then.

Then, Xuxu's grandma, Aunt Jiu also came.

Aunt Ninth’s family is all by herself, and she has to bring a grandson. The eldest son, the youngest son, and her husband are all working outside the home. She can’t do that by herself. Ran wanted to rent land, so she came to Qiao Churan and said that she could rent wherever she wanted, and just tell her if she needed it.

Ninth Aunt's family has a simple relationship, and she has the final say on the land, so she doesn't have to think about it at all. When the time comes, just make a phone call and talk to her husband.

And this, of course, is also due to Qiao Churan and Qin Muzhou's affection for Xuxu's little robot.

Qiao Churan was amused: "Okay, I've remembered Aunt Jiu's words, and when it's confirmed, I'll be the first to ask you to sign."

"What else do I need to sign? It's just a piece of land. I have to thank you for helping me take care of it, and Xuxu."

With tears in her eyes, Aunt Nine touched her grandson's head and said, "Xuxu was playing with a little robot last night, and suddenly turned around and called me grandma, which made me very excited."

Saying that, Aunt Nine couldn't help wiping away tears, and grabbed Qiao Churan's hands, because it was too hard to take care of the family all year round, Aunt Nine's fingers were dry and chapped, very rough: "He was not born Speaking, I'm waiting, it's been several years, and Xuxu will get better gradually in the future, no one will say he is a little dumb anymore."

Qiao Churan's heart was touched, she looked down at Xuxu, and Xuxu gave her a small smile.

Qiao Churan couldn't help but patted the child's head, and said, "Everything will get better gradually.

The whole Qingxi Village will also get better.

Let parents and children reunite, so that the status quo of the Women and Children Village in Hollow Village can be changed.

Let this become a peach blossom garden in a new era.
