Chapter 209 Donations
According to seniority, Chen Zhengqian should be called Uncle Chen Rongliang.

In the whole village, counting three generations ago, they were all within five generations of relatives.So he was right to call Chen Rongliang his uncle.

As soon as Chen Zhengqian entered the yard, he saw his mother chatting with Chen Rongliang, he was a little surprised, wondering why he would appear here.

What was even more unexpected was that when Chen Rongliang saw him appear, he immediately stood up and greeted him enthusiastically: "Xiaoqian is back, I haven't seen you for a long time, it seems that he has grown a lot taller, and he is also handsome!" It was so enthusiastic that even Chen Zhengqian was a little overwhelmed.

"Hello, Uncle Rong Liang, you are so free today, have you eaten yet?" Chen Zhengqian smiled, knowing that what he said were all polite words, although he really grew taller and became more handsome.

In addition, "Have you eaten?" can be said to be the most common way of greeting Chinese people, and this is even more obvious in rural areas.

Only Chen Zhengqian didn't know why Chen Rongliang came here today.

Logically speaking, the relationship between my family and him is not considered close, barely counted in the fifth service, but one of the two families is in the upper village and the other is in the lower village, and there are not many opportunities to meet each other on weekdays.

As the saying goes, if you don't go to the Temple of Three Treasures for anything, what is it, Chen Zhengqian wondered.

"That's right, your uncle Guiying is going to work in the fields, I'll come over to look at the fish in the fish pond, and I'll come in and sit down as I pass by your door." Chen Rongliang laughed.

He is an old smoker, and he carries a simple hookah made of plastic bottles with him. He takes a few puffs from time to time, and occasionally he can't help but light a pinch of shredded tobacco for two puffs while talking.

Chen Zhengqian said he was used to it.

His grandfather used to be like this, and so did the elderly people in the village, and even some children would imitate it, but young people like to smoke more cigarettes.

Speaking of fish ponds, there are a total of five fish ponds in the village, which are distributed in three different directions. Among them, there are two fish ponds next to each other on the side of Chen Zhengqian's house.

Chen Rongliang's house happened to be next to Chen Zhengqian's house, with an area of ​​about five acres, where lotus roots were still planted in the past.

When summer comes, beautiful lotus flowers will bloom in the pond. Naughty children will tie a sickle to a bamboo pole and try to pick lotus flowers.

Naturally, Chen Zhengqian would not casually pick other people's lotus flowers, well, he was instigating others to do this.

When Chen Zhengqian was a child, he was very envious of the village head and his family having a fish pond.

After all, in the countryside, if you have a fishpond at home, becoming a fishpond owner means that you can eat fish all year round. This is the dream of many children!

When he was a child, he dreamed that one day he would be able to contract a fish pond with countless tilapia and grass carp and silver carp in it, and then tell the world loudly that this fish pond belongs to my family!

It seems that this obsession has been accompanied by his growth, even today, he still misses the fish pond.

"Uncle Rong Liang's fish pond harvest is good this year, so when will you fish?" Since the fish pond was mentioned, Chen Zhengqian asked with a smile.This time of year is the harvest season for fish ponds.

Chen Rongliang waved his hands and smiled and said, "Catch it once next month, then again at the end of the year, and then again on the tenth day of the first lunar month. It's almost done. This year's harvest is mediocre. It's not easy to raise fish now."

The fish in the fishponds in rural areas are mainly the four major species of fish, and the output is not high, but the taste is quite delicious, at least better than those bought outside.

The reason is that it is not large-scale farming, and it does not feed various hormone feeds, but the grass and vegetable leaves. Although the growth is slow, it is definitely a pure natural farm fish, very fresh!

Just like the fish in the village head’s house, when he was at home, Chen Zhengqian could always see him or his wife throwing loads of grass or vegetable leaves or sweet potato leaves into the pond, and then groups of fish would frantically grab them. Food, shooting bursts of water.

Chen Zhengqian decided to get straight to the point, and asked directly, "Uncle Rong Liang, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Seeing that he said this, Chen Rongliang couldn't beat around the bush anymore, so he smiled and said, "Actually, Uncle came this time to talk to your father about something, but your father isn't here, so it's the same with you."

Chen Zhengqian nodded: "Uncle, tell me, I'm listening."

Chen Rongliang said: "It's like this. Last time the village held a meeting, it was proposed to repair the ancestral hall in the village. Every household should pay for it according to the number of people. Everyone basically agreed.

But it's not enough, and there's not much money left in the public account in the village, and you've become a big star and big boss now, so I just wanted to come over and ask if I could trouble you to pay a little more. "

Having said that, he took a look at Chen Zhengqian's face and found that there was no change, so he quickly added: "Don't worry, we will engrave the specific list of donations and the amount of donations on the wall of the ancestral hall at that time, so that everyone can see clearly Clearly.

The money will not be spent elsewhere, all will be used to repair the temple. "

It stands to reason that Chen Zhengqian has no reason to refuse this kind of good deeds to accumulate virtue and benefit future generations.

After all, everyone has a share in the ancestral hall in the village. It is an unavoidable fact that my roots are here.

The key is to donate more and less. Once or twice is fine. If every time there is something in the village, you have to pay for it yourself, then Chen Zhengqian is not willing.After all, his own money did not come from the wind.

This incident reminded him that he must set a benchmark!
On the contrary, my mother Li Xiaomei kept giving her winks, and Chen Zhengqian gave her a reassuring look.

Chen Zhengqian decided to kick the ball back to Chen Rongliang, and asked him, "Uncle, how much do you think I should donate?"

"This... I can't say. You can just give it as you see it. It's all about your heart. The ancestors saw it. In principle, there are one hundred people per household." Chen Rongliang is also hard to say.

After all, there has never been a hard standard for donations. One hundred per person is what everyone in the village has discussed, and it is still reasonable.

If you feel you don’t need your ancestor’s money, you don’t have to donate it. Then it will be difficult for others to poke you in the back.

In his opinion, it would be good if Chen Zhengqian could donate a few hundred yuan more, but it would be even better if it was a thousand yuan.

Chen Zhengqian silently calculated in his mind, based on the 120 households and more than 700 people in the village, he could probably receive more than 7 yuan, plus a little subsidy from the village government, [-] yuan can still be collected.

However, the ancestral hall is divided into upper and lower buildings. If two buildings are built at the same time, 8 yuan is a bit reluctant.

It’s rare to build an ancestral hall once, so it must be done better, at least for decades, maybe [-] is okay.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhengqian said, "Actually, donating money is not a problem, but I have a condition."

Hearing him let go, Chen Rongliang immediately lifted his spirits, and quickly said: "Tell me, as long as I can help, I will definitely help."

"Uncle, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. In fact, it can be regarded as bringing some benefits to the village."

Chen Zhengqian said with a smile, "It's like this. I want to contract some land in the village and plan to build an eco-tourism resort to see if I can attract some city people to come here.

If manpower is needed at that time, they will be recruited directly from the village. The wages will definitely be higher than farming, so I hope the village will make it easier. "

Chen Rongliang was stunned: "Oh? Where do you want to contract?"

"Just in front of my house!"

Chen Zhengqian pointed to the outside of the yard, and drew an arc: "From the back of the house to the opposite hillside, the bamboo forest in the east, the field boundary in the west, including the pond from your uncle's house to your uncle's house, I want it all!"

The sloping land has been abandoned for many years. Someone planted a few eucalyptus trees there, and most of them were left to grow grass.

It shouldn't be a big problem for Chen Zhengqian to contract it. The focus is on these two ponds.

Chen Rongliang couldn't help but take a deep breath, darling, this is too big a deal, this son of Chen Guowei's family, seems to be richer than he thought, and it was 10,000+ when he made a move.

Even Li Xiaomei was stunned. She didn't expect her son to contract such a large piece of land as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't discuss it with him. Anyway, it won't be too late for the family to discuss their opinions when his father comes back.

Chen Zhengqian looked at Chen Rongliang and said seriously: "The land is contracted for 50 years, and the annual rent is calculated according to the highest rent in the village. I will not take advantage of the village.

But the two ponds, I want to buy them, just buy and not rent!If the negotiation can be concluded earlier, I will donate a little more, [-] as a base. "

This is already considered an excellent price, if Chen Zhengqian still refuses to agree, there is nothing he can do.

"This..." It was Chen Rongliang's turn to hesitate.
