1987: Sleepless Tonight

"It's also to prevent me from being arranged by the people in the village so that other people's mouths can be blocked?" Village head Tu stopped writing and looked at Lu Hao.

He said earlier that he wanted a 200 yuan cheaper contract rent, but Lu Hao refused, saying that he was afraid that it would be misunderstood if it was spread, thinking that he had taken the benefit of 200 yuan, which would be bad for his reputation.

Now Lu Hao asked him to call other people from the village committee to witness and sign together. This should also be considered in this regard.

Lu Hao nodded, "Yes, after all, major issues in the village need to be discussed with the village committee."

"I have no selfish intentions," said Village Chief Tu. "The money will definitely go into the village committee's account in the end, and I won't take any of it."

"I believe this, but what about other people in the village, do they also believe it? And even if most people believe it, what if one or two people don't believe it?" Lu Hao said.

This is like eating a bowl of jelly, but being wronged to eat two bowls of jelly and only paying for one bowl. Some people just want to pour dirty water on you, and it is often difficult to prove themselves.

Lu Hao was afraid that it would be difficult for Village Chief Tu to prove himself, and he was also afraid that it would be difficult for him to prove himself.

He looked at Village Chief Tu, "Call the people from the village committee over, sign the contract together, and put your fingerprints on it, so that other people's mouths can be blocked, and even if there is any problem, Village Chief Tu will not be let go." You are alone in front of the burden, but a group of people from the village committee will shoulder it together, and you will face less pressure."

"You young man is really good. You paid such a high price to contract Maqiao Lake and took such a big risk. It was not for money, but for the welfare of the villagers. Now you are always thinking of me, being cautious and doing good deeds. You are a person who has achieved great things. " Village head Tu picked up the water bottle again and refilled Lu Hao's teacup, "Alright, you sit in the room for a while, and I'll call the other members of the village committee over."

Most of the cadres of the village committee are not full-time, they work in the village and do farm work at the same time, and they are also villagers from nearby natural villages.

Village head Tu ran out to call for someone.

Lu Liexing, Lu Hao and his son were still at the village chief's house and did not leave.

"You ask the village chief to call other people over. If other people have any objections, will there be any problems?" Lu Liexing said worriedly.

His son was really able to hold his breath. Village head Tu was about to sign and stamp the red stamp, but he stopped calling and asked the village head to call other village committees over.

What if there is an accident in the middle?

He sweated for Lu Hao.

Lu Hao glanced left and right to make sure that there was no one around, and then said in a low voice, "If something happens to Village Chief Tu in the future, it is not safe to write only his name on the contract, and others will say that Village Chief Tu and I There are tricks in the signed contract, and it is very likely that the accident of the village head Tu will be used to prove that there must be something wrong with the contract, so I must call several other village committees to sign together and press their hands Yin, all the village committees have agreed, and this contract will not be so easily attacked.”

Lu Hao did this to make sure nothing would go wrong.

He doesn't know if something will happen to Village Chief Tu, but it is necessary for other village committees to sign and imprint their fingerprints.

No matter how small the gap is, Lu Hao has to block it, so as not to let any leaks.

He took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued, "Mr. Tu has drawn up this contract so quickly, and it needs to be signed and stamped, which shows that he is confident that other village committees will not have any opinions. Before we came, they had communicated with them, and I deliberately waited until the contract was drafted to sign and seal before reminding him to ask him to find other village committees to come over. If you see the contract that has been drawn up, you won’t object, but if you really object, you’ll just make things difficult for Village Chief Tu.”

He has already figured it out step by step.

It is not the premise of signing the contract, but after the contract is drawn up, so that other people will not take the initiative to refute even if they have opinions, but will sign along with the already drawn up contract and press their fingerprints.

With so many people making endorsements, prices will rise in the future, or if Maqiao Lake is really successful, other people will be jealous, have opinions, and want to make a fuss, but they won't be able to make a fuss.

The contract was endorsed by all the village committees, and to suspect something tricky was to suspect all the village committees.

This is much more difficult than doubting the village head alone.

"Even Village Chief Tu is plotting." Only now did Lu Liexing finally understand his son's intentions.

"It's not a calculation, it's just that you have to plan for the worst in everything, and plan for defeat before you win." Lu Hao said.

Hearing this, Lu Liexing nodded.

He agreed with his son's words.

After drinking half of the tea in the enamel pot, Village Chief Tu led a few people into the house.

On the way, when they arrived, none of them said much. Seeing Village Chief Tu signing his name and stamping his red seal, these people also signed their names and stamped their fingerprints.

Lu Liexing also signed his name and put his fingerprint on it.

Lu Hao gave 5000 yuan to Village Chief Tu and issued a receipt.

It said 'Maqiao Lake rent, 5000 yuan, collected by the Luoli Village Committee', stamped and dated.

That's it!

When he was leaving, Village Chief Tu took out the cigarettes in his pocket, and gave Lu Hao and Lu Liexing one each.

He said to Lu Hao, "The contract has been signed for 30 years, and the rent of 5000 yuan per year cannot be changed in black and white. However, if you encounter any difficulties in your business in the future, you can tell the village. As long as I can help You must try your best to coordinate, and if you are tight on rent, it won’t be a big problem to postpone it for ten days and a half months.”

Lu Hao was so happy and considered the issue so carefully, he was a little embarrassed, as if he was bullying someone.

Sending a few steps and mentioning these words is an apology.

"Major Tu, your words are heart-warming. They are doing business outside. Those people are all very cunning. They bully me to be honest. It's better to be a fellow. Thank you and thank you fellows. Don't worry, I will pay the money every year. On the date of signing the contract every year, I will definitely hand over 5000 yuan to the village committee, and if it is overdue, interest will also be calculated." Lu Hao said sincerely, "Shut up, don't give it away, village chief, go back Bar."

If the money is not paid on time, isn't it just a matter of fact?

Lu Hao will never let this happen.

Pay, must pay, pay on time and according to the amount!

"A good young man, really a good young man!" Village Chief Tu nodded repeatedly, "Then I won't send you off, you two slow down."

On one side, Lu Liexing coughed twice, as if he was choking on smoke.

The father and son left Tujiawan and returned to Lujiawan.

It is a field path.

With the contract in his arms, Lu Hao smiled happily.

At night, in the kitchen where Lu Hao sleeps, there are two long benches covered with old door panels and cotton batting, which is a bed.

Very shabby.

Lying on the bed, Lu Hao couldn't fall asleep for a long time, he missed his wife, and was used to pinching something with his hands at night, and he didn't have to pinch for a while, so he suffered from insomnia.
