After the divorce I farmed in the countryside

After discussing the details of the contract with the three tea purchasers, Su Ling borrowed the village committee's computer and printer, made a new contract, signed it, and the matter was settled.

After seeing off the three tea merchants, the village head took Su Ling to climb Phoenix Mountain.

"When your grandfather contracted the mountain to plant tea trees, most people in the village didn't think highly of him. He was losing money in the first five years, and gradually harvested in the eighth year. Now, 20 years later, our Yulu tea produced in Fenghuang Mountain is well-known outside the country. It's gone." Village head Jin put his hands behind his back, looking deeply at the neat rows of tea trees. "I just didn't expect that your grandfather would leave in such a hurry."

Su Ling stood on the hillside, looking at the bright green and endless tea trees, he couldn't help but be speechless. "There are so many tea trees, are they all planted by the second grandfather?"

"How is it possible?" Village Chief Jin glanced at him, "Of course old man Su hired the villagers to plant it together."

Being despised, Su Ling rubbed her nose in embarrassment.

Village head Jin said: "Old man Su is knowledgeable and educated. If it wasn't for guarding the old house of the Su family, he would not have stayed in the village to be a farmer. On the contrary, Boss Su moved his family to the city and severed ties with his hometown. Old man Su didn't pay any attention to him, he didn't even come to the funeral when he passed away."

Su Ling listened, her face felt slightly hot.

He has grown up so much, and he has never heard his grandfather talk about his hometown. If Lawyer Liu hadn't called him, he would have forgotten that he has a relative in the country.

Two months ago, Lawyer Zhang accepted the commission of the second grandfather. Since he did not have his contact information, it took a lot of effort to find his lawyer friend in S City before he found his phone number.

The first time Su Ling received a call from Lawyer Zhang, Su Ling thought it was a fraudulent call, so he blocked it directly. Later, Lawyer Zhang took the trouble to call two or three phone numbers and explained again and again. Su Ling finally remembered that when he was a child, he used to talk to his father I went to the countryside and met this relative.

"Grandpa...has been busy with his career. A few years ago he was ill. My aunt took him abroad to recuperate." Su Ling explained tactfully.Grandpa was not close to these juniors. Su Ling was a little afraid of him when he was a child, and would stay away from family gatherings during the Chinese New Year. On the contrary, the son of the fourth uncle's family, his third cousin, was sweet-mouthed and liked the old man quite a lot.

Now that Su Ling has broken ties with the Su family, he doesn't know anything about the affairs over there. He doesn't know whether the Su family knows about the second grandfather's death.

Village head Jin snorted a few times, and said, "Is he afraid that people will look down on him as a mud-legged person?"

Su Ling was embarrassed.

It is difficult for him to answer this question. No one can guess what Grandpa is thinking.But he knew that his grandfather was a business genius, and that the Su family's current status was due to his investment vision and courage.

Seeing that Su Ling was silent, Village Chief Jin asked, "What are your future plans?"

Su Ling was slightly taken aback. "Intend?"

Village head Jin said: "You got old man Su's inheritance, do you want to keep it and continue to operate it, or sell it and go back to the city?"

Su Ling was questioned.

Due to the setback in his marriage, he didn't want to stay in the city for the time being, and went to the countryside to relax. He didn't think about how to deal with the inheritance at all.The tea trees all over the mountain have carried the sweat and hard work of the people of Shixi Village. If they are sold, it will not only be a pity, but also sorry for the second grandfather who passed away.

But if he stayed, how would his life change in the future?

Su Ling fell into confusion.

At noon, Su Ling had lunch at the village chief's house.

The rice is cooked by the daughter-in-law of the village head, and the dishes are picked from their own gardens. They are pure natural, green and pollution-free, fresh and tender, with a refreshing taste.

After dinner, Su Ling and the village chief went to the village committee office to discuss the tea picking tomorrow.

"In the past, the tea merchants sent trucks to pull fresh leaves. This year, the price you set includes shipping costs. Have you figured out how to transport them out of the village?" asked the village head.

Su Ling said, "I want to go to the town and hire some trucks."

Village head Jin shook his head: "Your idea is good, but the truck driver may not want to enter the village."

Su Ling was puzzled: "Why?"

Who would think that money is too much to do business?

Village head Jin stroked his beard and asked, "When you entered the village, you were riding on Lao Liu's tractor, right?"

Su Ling nodded: "Yes."

Village Chief Jin asked, "How do you feel?"

Su Ling frowned, remembering the sour feeling of the bumps, she didn't want to try it again.

"The road is narrow, uneven, curved and long, making it difficult to drive," he commented.

"So, our village is closed and poor," said the village chief.

"Could it be...can't build roads?" Su Ling asked.As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first.For so many years, Shixi Village has never thought about repairing the road better?

The village head said angrily: "You think we don't want to? We don't have money, what can we do to fix it?"

Su Ling was taken aback. "The government won't approve?"

Village head Jin said: "The approval has come down a long time ago. Your grandfather and I went to discuss it together, but the money is not in place. How can we repair it? The village is full of poor people. Even if your grandfather made money from selling tea, it is not enough to pave the road. The road needs to be expanded. , you have to occupy farmland. The village is two kilometers long from Liuhou Pavilion, and a two-lane road will be built, which will pass through at least [-] acres of fields. The funds approved by the government are limited, and thousands of households in the village are not rich. Who has the ability to pay for it?"

Su Ling didn't expect that paving roads in the village would be so difficult, with no money and being restricted everywhere, it's no wonder that Shixi Village has never escaped poverty.

"How much?" he asked.

Village Chief Jin raised his drooping eyelids, took out his abacus, and typed it cracklingly. "The compensation we negotiated with the villagers is 6 yuan per mu. Depending on the proportion of land occupied, the compensation is between 3000 and 3 yuan. The government subsidizes 100 million yuan, and we will bear the rest. The money for road construction In addition, if you add up the odds and ends, it will cost about 500 million yuan to build an ordinary road.”

500 yuan?

For rural people, this is simply a sky-high figure.

Su Ling sat on the chair, resting his chin, lost in thought.

Village head Jin put down his abacus, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip: "The production of tea mountain has increased this year, and if you sell well, you can earn 100 million yuan. Your father originally wanted to wait five years before building roads, but now he is gone. Things can only turn yellow."

"It won't be yellow, and it can't be yellow." Su Ling clasped his hands and looked at the village head firmly, "I have money, so I'll fix the road."

Village Chief Jin shook his hand, and the water in the cup spilled out.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Su Ling left the village committee, put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, and walked slowly on the gravel path, admiring the field scenery beside the road.

Most young people who are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city yearn for the tranquility and leisure of the countryside, and Su Ling is no exception.However, when he really saw the poverty and helplessness of the rural people, he realized that the countryside is not as pleasant as he imagined.

Where will he go in the future, where will he live in the future, and whether his relationship with Lin Feng will continue, these are all fantasy for him now.

Right now, he needs to solve many problems.

For example: he had to go door to door to find villagers with tractors to discuss the matter of pulling tea out of the village.He funded the road construction and negotiated with the villagers about the compensation for occupying the cultivated land.And, most importantly, how should he solve his three meals a day?

There is no vegetable market in the village!

Every household farms the land and lives a self-sufficient life.

Therefore, he had to be self-reliant and grow his own vegetables!

and also--

He wants to buy a bunch of home appliances: washing machine, refrigerator, air conditioner, water heater, dishwasher, water dispenser...

Standing on the bridge of the creek in Yingfeng, looking at the Su family's house in the distance, Su Ling suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

--------

"Dong dong dong dong dong dong dong—"

"Crackling, crackling—"

At the entrance of Shixi Village, the sound of gongs and drums, and the sound of firecrackers are very lively.

Under the big banyan tree, a large number of villagers gathered to watch. The children climbed on the branches and sat on the high place to watch.

Su Ling's shoulder-length slightly curly hair was tied into a ponytail. She was wearing a royal blue suit with a white Windsor collar shirt inside, a silver-gray Windsor tie, a silver chain watch on the waistcoat, and a pair of black pants under the straight trousers. Inner ear oxfords.His dress is exquisite and elegant, like a prince walking out of a painting, standing at the entrance of the village with the village committee officials, grandly welcoming the arrival of the tea-picking team.

Qi Yue and other three tea merchants led the girls in the tea picking team and approached with smiles on their faces. When they saw the handsome Su Ling, their eyes straightened and they were full of amazement.

"Mr. Su, our tea-picking team will trouble you for half a month."

Su Ling said politely: "As long as they get used to living in the village, everything is easy to talk about."

Before coming to Shixi Village, Su Ling knew nothing about tea picking. After talking with the village chief yesterday, he realized that there are many ways to pick tea.The method of picking tea leaves is very particular. In order to produce high-grade tea leaves, tea merchants generally adopt the ancient hand-picking method.

The villagers in Shixi Village can grow tea trees, so they naturally know how to pick them. However, Qi Yue and others trust the tea picking team they hired, so they bring people to pick them every year.

It takes half a month to pick tea. The road conditions in Shixi Village are poor and it is inconvenient to come and go. The tea-picking team stays at the villagers' homes.The villagers have long been accustomed to this kind of cooperation, and they are happy to collect the accommodation fee. They received the notice yesterday and vacated the vacant room early.

Qi Yue said with a smile: "I must be used to it. Some of the girls in our team have been picking tea here for five years. By the way——"

As soon as he changed the subject, his thin eyes shone brightly: "Have Mr. Su found all the trucks leaving the village?"

Su Ling calmly said: "I've found it. But there are no trucks, but there are hundreds of tractors."

Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Can the tractor work? The fresh tea is bumped, and the quality may decline."

Su Ling smiled and said, "Boss Qi, don't worry, I guarantee that the road will be level within today."

It is too late to build the road, but it can be done in a day by transporting some gravel and filling the mud pit with bulldozers and road rollers.Early in the morning, before dawn, the village head went to the town to contact the construction team.

With no worries, the tea merchants held a tea-picking ceremony and officially went up the mountain amidst the sound of loud firecrackers.

The tea-picking work was in full swing. Su Ling followed the village head, busy with the work, lived a very fulfilling life every day, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow at night.

In 25 years of life, I have never been so tired.

Whether it was before or after marriage, he lived a leisurely and comfortable life.

He used to get up at [-]:[-] every morning at home, jog for half an hour in the community, come back to take a shower, eat breakfast made by the nanny, and go to the drawing room to draw after dinner. If the weather is good, he will carry the drawing board to the park to sketch , Sitting on the sofa in the living room in the afternoon, drinking tea and looking at the phone.Watching dramas, reading novels, playing games, occasionally chatting with friends, and when Lin Feng got off work, the two had dinner together, and went for a walk hand in hand after dinner.

From childhood to adulthood, Su Ling's requirements are very simple, do what you want to do, live lovingly with the person you like, support each other, and grow old together.

It's just that he didn't expect that such a small wish would suddenly be shattered in the third year after marriage.

Unknowingly, there was a problem with his relationship with Lin Feng. After being disappointed again and again, he finally woke up, left that house temporarily, and came to the countryside as if escaping.

Now here, things are busy, I am tired like a dog every day, doing things I have never done before, and I am happier than ever.

The tea-picking team worked on the eighth day, and the work was on track. The village head and village committee officials took over the supervision. Su Ling was happy and relaxed, nestling in the study to settle the bill.

What did he and Lin Zhou say when they left City S?

The expenses in the countryside are small, and it doesn't cost much.

At this moment, I pulled the list, hehe, five or six million was spent easily.

It cost more than 1000 yuan to flatten the road, more than 40 yuan a day to hire a car to transport fresh leaves, and more than [-] yuan to buy furniture and electrical appliances.

As for the payment, the boss of the tea merchant only gave a deposit of 20 yuan, and the final payment can only be made after all the tea leaves have been harvested and weighed.

The village head said that the output of spring tea this year is more than last year, about 50 jin. After excluding the cost and labor expenses, the profit may be more than 100 yuan. When summer tea and autumn tea are harvested, the annual profit can reach more than [-] million yuan. .

More than 100 million yuan may not be earned in a lifetime for rural people, but for the generous young master Su, it can be spent in a month.

Su Ling is not a person who would wrong himself. Although Second Grandpa's house is antique, but the internal configuration is too simple. Being used to city life, he added some high-quality and modern things as a matter of course.

For example, in the study room, a layer of soft carpet is laid on the floor, elegant gauze curtains are hung on the windows, a calligraphy work of my own is mounted on the wall, and there is an extra set of mahogany chairs and coffee tables in front of the ancient round window next to the corridor. There is a crystal clear white porcelain tea set on the table.

The other rooms, like the study, have all been completely new.

Of course, Su Ling doesn't know anything about housework. The day before yesterday, he went shopping in the shopping mall in H City, bought a bunch of things, and paid a high delivery fee to send the things home. Then he increased Aunt Zhang's salary to One thousand a month, ask her to help take care of the house.

Aunt Zhang was so happy that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear. It took a whole day to tidy it up neatly.

With a refrigerator in the kitchen, it is convenient to store food.

Su Ling bought fish, crab and shrimp from the vegetable market in the town, stuffed them into the freezer of the refrigerator for storage, and put the vegetables that Aunt Zhang gave him into the fresh-keeping storage, and he had enough food for the week.

The induction cooker is a good thing. It can be used for both cooking and hot pot. After discovering it in the electrical appliance store, Su Ling resolutely gave up the earthen stove. In the past two days, he learned to cook according to the recipes, successfully lighting up his cooking skills.

After finishing the calculation, Su Ling bit the tip of the pen, frowned a pair of delicate eyebrows, and sighed softly in his heart.

If he is not in charge, he doesn’t know how expensive daily necessities are. In the past, he used to spend money in the city with the secondary card that Lin Feng gave him, and bought things he liked. Now he has to make money for himself, and he feels all kinds of hard work.

The 1000 million he has on hand, I don't know if he can last until the end of the year.

In addition to building the road out of the village, he also had to repair the road from the entrance of the village to the Su family's old house. In total, it would cost several million dollars just to build the road.

It is worth spending the money to build bridges and roads to do good deeds. Su Ling doesn't feel bad, but has an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.

This is a feeling that he has never felt before. Helping others within his ability, doing charity in real ways, and being happy from the bottom of his heart makes him feel that his life is meaningful and valuable.

Worrying about money for a moment, Su Ling frowned.

The ancients said: I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all the money is gone.

He believes that with his own hands, he will definitely be able to make money, and thinking so much now is nothing but unfounded worry.Big deal, draw a few paintings and entrust Lin Zhou to sell them at the auction. They can always sell for 10,000+!

After thinking about it, Su Ling closed the ledger, raised his hands, and stretched.

The author has something to say: Ling Bao: Qianqian, you are a mature Qianqian, you have to learn to put yourself in my pocket~~

--------

Note·A lot of cuties in the comments have proposed that 500 million roads are expensive, so I will explain them here in a unified way. ^^

What the village wants to build is not a small cement road, but a road officially leading to the outside of the village.

There are five grades of highways, namely: expressways, first-class roads, second-class roads, third-class roads, and fourth-class roads. (If you don’t understand the cuteness, you can go to Baidu~)

Here, according to the minimum standard, a four-lane two-lane road should be built.

This road is not a privately built road, but an official road that the village chief applied to the town for approval, so the people whose fields are occupied can get some compensation.

The approved funds are insufficient, and the village committee needs to make up for it. The village committee has no money, so it cannot be built, so it needs donations from well-meaning people. (For example, some charitable businessmen, celebrities, etc.)

Here, Su Ling is the donor.

如果按占用200亩为准，按3千-3万赔偿，折中为1万元。预算也得200多万了。

The cost of a fourth-class road is between 150 million and 180 million per kilometer (the actual price fluctuates according to different materials, which can be checked on Baidu)

The road in the village is about 2 kilometers, but later it took a straight line to shorten the route, and it was more than 1000 meters, so it was calculated at more than 250 million.

The remaining hundreds of thousands are used for road greening, paving, street lighting facilities, various pipeline installations, labor costs, and so on.

This is my estimated cost of 500 million yuan, which is still calculated according to the lowest standard.Since I am not a professional, I can only use an estimate.
