Rebirth Autumn Returns to the Countryside

When Secretary Ma brought his wife to Leng's house, Ding Guihua went to rest again. She was already too emotional, and when she saw the amount in the account suddenly increased to more than 500,000, her pounding heart stopped for a while before it recovered.

"Qiu'er, can you really enter my space? Then I'll give you the whole space. It's so big and beautiful now!" Ding Guihua, whose eyes and face were swollen from crying, was really generous. There was really no need to be stingy with a daughter.

Leng Yanqiu waved his hand and shook his head: "I can only go in when you are asleep, but I can't go in after you sell the things. So, you have to work hard on your own."

Ding Guihua said with regret: "Is that so? Then I'll go back to sleep for a while and you can try to see if you can get in."

The ignorant dare to think.

Then, the secretary and his wife came. As soon as the secretary's wife arrived, she wanted to chat with Ding Guihua, mainly to show off that she finally passed the first subject test. The coach said that her performance when she touched the steering wheel for the first time was better than Ding Guihua's. She didn't scream or drop the steering wheel to hold her head.

That's right, because she envied Ding Guihua's driving skills, the secretary's wife asked Ding Guihua to introduce Coach Feng to her. Unfortunately, the coach failed to live up to the commission that Ding Guihua helped him earn, and he exposed the embarrassing incident right away.

Who says only women like to gossip? Coach Feng is a living example. When he is in a good mood, he will tell the students about their trivial and embarrassing things. He always exaggerates the most classic story of losing the steering wheel.

Fortunately, the injured comrade Ding Guihua needed to rest, and the secretary's wife had to keep a lot to herself and go talk to the old lady about other things, because the old lady kept persuading her not to learn to drive a car. There was nothing she could do, so she could only let Qiu'er's mother learn so that she could pick up and drop off her granddaughter and deliver vegetables to earn money. She was busy every day, unlike you who don't bother to do anything.

Secretary's Wife: You think I can't tell you're showing off? Let me change the subject!

"How is your health?"

The old lady straightened up and shook her arms and legs. "I'm not in good health. I just feed a flock of chickens and rabbits every day. It's not hard to bend down and pick up a hundred eggs, but I feel tired after picking up more than 200 eggs. Aunt, tell me, how can chickens lay eggs so fast now? I can't pick up all the eggs. I have to ask Qiu's mother to help pick up the eggs at night. She's too old!"

Secretary’s Wife: I want to go home!

Secretary Ma first asked about the mother and daughter’s recovery from their injuries. Seeing that Leng Yanqiu was moving around as usual, he sighed that young people are indeed easier to take care of.

Getting to the point, Secretary Ma proposed two plans. One was to rent the land, no matter if it was the saline-alkali wasteland in front of the pit or the villagers' fields to the east of the house; the other was to buy and exchange. The wasteland in front of the pit would be purchased, and the Leng family's own ten acres of fertile land would be exchanged for the thin fields next to the house. The exchange would be done after the wheat was harvested. The owner of the thin land was happy about it, as the output of the fertile land was much higher than that of the thin land, and watering and other maintenance were more convenient than here.

"The land in front of your house belongs to the village. We have tidied it before, but the best poplar saplings didn't survive well. There are only 20 to 30 left. In fact, no one would say anything if you use it directly without going through any formalities. But now the villagers are all running away and can't take care of the land. Alas!"

Secretary Ma was quite emotional. Everyone was running out as if they could pick up money anywhere. In fact, those who had no skills might as well stay at home and live comfortably instead of working outside. They worked very hard to earn just enough to pay the rent.

Leng Yanqiu: "Tell me the price. I don't feel comfortable occupying the village's land for nothing."

"We've remeasured it. There are now more than five acres of land in front for you to use. It's just that the saline-alkali land is still bumpy, and there's an old garbage pit that needs to be leveled. If you rent it all, you'll be charged five acres, two thousand per year, and the minimum contract is ten years. This has been discussed at the village committee meeting. Sooner or later, you'll have to leave the village, so don't even think about buying it."

Leng Yanqiu: "How much is it if I buy it?"

Secretary Ma was stunned: "Xiao Qiu, there are not many people in your family, so it is meaningless to buy such a big place. If you want to sell it outside in the future, no one will take it over."

Such a promising child must go out to college. Once he goes out, he will not be willing to return to the village. I understand that.

Leng Yanqiu smiled and continued to look at Secretary Ma.

"Two thousand yuan a year in rent is like giving it away for free, right? Because ten years of abandonment is just a blink of an eye. But if you really want to buy it, there was an example of a Taoist monastery occupying land, and they offered 30,000 yuan per mu. But that was good land..."

Secretary Ma's eyes began to flicker, observing Leng Yanqiu's expression and trying to figure out what to say.

"Well, I know that. Crops grown on the surface of the land are also covered by the compensation." Leng Yanqiu was also calculating, "The garbage pit in the saline-alkali land, it costs money to clear the garbage and level the land. The soil also costs money, right?"

Secretary Ma: "Hey, people who are good at studying know everything."

"Fifty thousand! Please help me exchange a piece of land that is connected to the southeast. It must be square, without any corners. I plan to enclose it."

Secretary Ma: "Let's not talk about the price first. I have to remind you that farmland must remain farmland and cannot be turned into residential land to build houses. There are satellites in the sky watching us!"

"Yeah, don't worry."

Secretary Ma: The previous 31,000 yuan per mu of land was laid in vain.

After some calculations, the Leng family exchanged ten acres of fertile land for thin land, and removed the corners of the saline-alkali land, and removed a little more - but what is the point of leaving an extra half acre of saline-alkali land in the village? If the lazy villagers come back to throw garbage or steal soil, there will soon be another big garbage pit...

"The price still needs to be discussed at the village committee. The land exchange can be done right away. Xiaoqiu, if we really want to exchange the land, aren't you afraid that your father will disagree when he comes back?"

"I'm not afraid." Leng Yanqiu answered easily.

The cold old lady who was ignored by everyone: I just asked me casually last time, and I didn’t say I disagreed or that I was happy…

The secretary and his wife said goodbye and left. The old lady was hesitant to speak and walked around her granddaughter, wanting to ask if we were at a disadvantage. Fertile land was exchanged for thin land. There is something wrong with your brain!

Leng Yanqiu imagined the scene of a small manor of more than ten acres in his mind, and simply helped the old lady stand at the gate of the yard and pointed out: "Just think about it, our farmland is right in front of our house, and there are a few cows grazing in front of it——"

The old lady was immediately confused: "I can't let it roam freely. What if it gets lost?"

"Build a wall around the yard. Then you can see the crops every day when you go out of the house, and see chickens, sheep, and cows running around."

Oh my, the old lady squinted her eyes and tried hard to imagine: "There are also rabbits and pigs. Your mother loves to raise pigs."

Awesome was so happy that he kept wagging his tail and whined, "Leave it to me! I can do it!"

Just think about it, a dog has more than ten acres of space to roam freely and can also chase its friends. The dog’s life will be perfect!

The old lady no longer mentioned her worries about Bo Di. Every time Ding Guihua looked cold or cried, she felt guilty, always thinking that she was still holding a grudge against her from earlier. As long as the mother and daughter were not angry with her, she would do whatever they wanted. The two of them lived happily, and the old lady would not have to go back to the old house and worry.
