At that time, there was a small [-] yuan household called ten thousand yuan household, and they had more confidence in their words than others.

During the Chinese New Year, because I had a little money in my hand, my mother bought a lot of toffee and biscuits, and put on a new outfit for the whole family. But Chu Wenmei, who loves sweets and beautiful things, no longer complained about her parents throwing herself away. There is nothing to do at the grandparents' house.

Chu's father and Chu's mother are quite satisfied with the current situation, and plan to start this small business after Chuwu starts school.But Chu Wu started to use his brain again, sooner or later someone will realize the benefits of this small business. He remembered that when he repeated his studies in the city, there were more stalls at the entrance of Fuyuan Town Middle School, and he complained about it for a long time. Time himself did not choose to eat the sugar triangle for three years.

It's really not worth it for my mother to work hard for a small profit.And he can imagine that the outside world is changing with each passing day, and this small stall is far away from his goal of becoming a rich second generation.

"The brigade (which is what the villagers call the village committee, following the habit of the production team, and the older generation called it that) is planning to use the land to pay my wages. You say we need so much land, what's the use of us? I can’t come.” After the first time after the year, Chu’s father complained to Chu’s mother in frustration.

The first mother was also not very happy about this decision. "Can the brigade pay so much agricultural and animal husbandry taxes every year that they can't even pay the salaries of two teachers?"

Chu Wu finally remembered after hearing this.After Chu's father and Chu's mother got married, Chu's father worked as a teacher in the elementary school in Murakami.At that time, primary school teachers were called private teachers, and they were all paid by the village.Chu's father has been a private teacher for 11 years, and asking for salary at the end of each year is like a tug of war.At that time, Chu’s father’s salary was 40 yuan a month and 480 yuan a year.With such a small amount of money, the village committee will also drag on "I have no cash, I really can't help it", and the elders will be melodious.

Because I still have two children to raise, I can't wait every year for this kind of salary that may not be guaranteed. In the second year of junior high school, Chu's father finally gave up the challenge.Thinking about it, it should have happened last year, but in Chuwu's reborn impression, it was a long time ago that my father became a teacher, so I didn't think of it for a while.

"Then we want the land." Chu Wu interjected.

"Need land? If you want land, you can't wait for it. Your mother and I get up early and work late at night and come here. The land we have now is good. If we can't shovel it, it will be deserted if it is planted. Besides, the lump of land in our village If it doesn’t rain, there’s no way to water it, so you’ll pay as much as you plant.”

At this time, farming is purely physical work.The seeders, herbicides, and harvesters that will come out in the future are unimaginable, at least not in this place now.Parents are already very busy planting seventy or eighty acres of land.

However, the next plan that Chuwu thought of a few days ago was based on the premise of having land. How could the land that was delivered to his door not be needed now.You must persuade Dad to take the land from the brigade.

"Yeah, we can't grow the land we want, and we can't sell it. Isn't the brigade punishing people?" Chu's mother was worried.

As far as Stone Village is concerned, there are fewer people and more land. It can be said that it is the village with the most cultivated land per capita among the villages to which Fuyuan Town belongs.Before liberation, there were generally few people and a lot of land in this place, and there was no clear territorial division of the large grass pastures between the villages.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the administrative division date was also clearly defined, the population increased, and land reclamation and farming became more and more common. The boundary division near the villages began to appear important.But after so many years without a clear boundary, how could it be possible to satisfy all the villages that can be divided at once.

It was difficult for honest officials to decide on housework, and the town failed to come up with a charter that everyone was satisfied with. In the end, the land was divided mainly by force.

There is a land dispute between the two villages, good!Call the young and middle-aged men in the village to fight, and the one who runs away loses.Although there are few people in Stone Village, it is famous for its unity when it comes to the outside world. After more than ten fights between large and small groups, they did not lose any of them, which has become the current scene.Although it is said that 90.00% of Shitou Village is Tuozi land, it cannot hold much, so Shitou Village, which has a radius of [-] miles, is considered a rich village.

But it is precisely because of the large number that Stone Village did not say that it needed to buy land for planting, and all the land in the village could not be planted.Some people outside may want to buy it, but at this time in the countryside where horse-drawn carriages are the main means of transportation, you are farming a hundred and eighty miles away from home, and one day is not enough to travel.So in Shitou Village, it costs 10 yuan per mu of land, but no one buys it.No wonder the first father and first mother are worried.

"Two days ago, Daxian said that there will be a severe drought when Ssangyong goes to sea this year." Chu's mother added another sentence.

"Don't listen to people's nonsense, you still went to high school!" Dad Chu snorted.

Shuanglong going to sea means that there will be a severe drought. The villagers believe that when one dragon will have good weather, the two dragons will shirk each other's work.Chu Wu knew that there would be a severe drought in the next few years, and the bean crops that villagers often plant now are not drought-tolerant.You will definitely not be making any money then.But that's what he's been through.But there is a great immortal who said that he foresaw the severe drought, and he doesn't know whether there are ghosts and gods or this person is delusional.

"Dad, did the ephedra harvester come last year?" Chu Wu asked.

"Come on, you and your mother set up a stall, and I was busy too, so I didn't pay attention to digging ephedra. I heard that it costs 2 cents a catty now. If you dig for a day, it will be a lot of money."

"How about we grow ephedra?" Chu Wu suggested.That's why he wanted the land.Ephedra is a drought-tolerant plant, and the Tuozi land in Shitou Village is also very suitable for the growth of ephedra. In the past few years, wild ephedra was everywhere, but it could not withstand the annual digging.Moreover, if there are too many people digging, some people will be greedy for quick profit, and dig deep into the ephedra roots to weigh the scales, and they will die.In recent years, ephedra has not been as much as before.

"That's okay?" Chu's mother's big eyes were obviously interested. Ever since she listened to her son's words last year and went to set up a stall to earn money, Chu's mother felt that her son was a thoughtful person, and she said something to him. Proposals are also more attentive.

"Okay, why not. Ephedra is a perennial plant just like leeks. We can wait for the harvest every year after two years of hard work. If the brigade really needs to pay for the top of the ground, then we will add more money to go to the back of our house and to the west. A piece of land, how can there be more than 200 mu, and 10 mu of land is more than 1 catties of ephedra, how can it be sold for 2000 yuan, what about 200 mu?"

"Besides, we can dig ephedra seedlings ourselves, which is basically a no-cost business."

This time, Chu's father also seriously thought about it.What the son said was not unreasonable. "How can your mother and I take care of the first two years of planting and maintenance?"

"You can hire part-time workers. My mother didn't set up a stall to save some, and use that first. It takes 200 people to work on 20 acres of land, and it can be planted in ten days. Follow-up weeding and so on, one person's wages are 15 yuan a day. It doesn’t cost much. But the income is predictable.”

"Besides, ephedra is drought-resistant, isn't it said that Shuanglong will go to sea this year?" Chu Wu induced.

Although Chu's father said that he didn't believe in this superstition, the country people had ghost legends passed down from generation to generation, so they still had some concerns subconsciously.

After a few days, Dad finally made a decision to set off for the team.This time, Chu's mother followed without saying a word.Chu's father is a bit of a face-saving and soft-hearted person. He would rather suffer a loss than listen to other people's soft words over there. Chu's mother knows this very well.

The two stayed in the team for more than half a day, and successfully got back a contract.

Their home is just in the west of Shitou Village, and there are no other people around. Father Chu listened to his son's advice this time and made up his mind to contract more than 50 mu west of the house at a price of 3 yuan for a period of 200 years. In addition to the 20 mu of land around their house that was already planted for free, there is more than 220 mu of space.

Chu Wu didn't expect that it was cheaper and easier to get this land than he thought, so he went up to ask Chu's father what was going on, and Chu's father dragged him, obviously satisfied with the result.

"Don't worry about the kids, just read your book well." His tone was not harsh at all.

Chu Wu grinded a few more sentences, and Chu's mother couldn't hold back and began to elaborate.
