Rebirth Autumn Returns to the Countryside

Chapter 37 3-year contract extension

It was the ringing of the cell phone that woke Leng Yanqiu up. Secretary Ma called and told Leng Yanqiu to go to the field. The harvester had finished the previous family's work ahead of time and had already driven into Leng's cornfield.

"I'll be there right away." Leng Yanqiu hurriedly got out of bed. This body was still very weak. Once he fell asleep, he would easily sink into it and could not wake up without external help.

However, when the wind outside blows, I feel extra comfortable. It can be seen that the human body does need sufficient sleep.

The gate of the courtyard was just closed, with a ring loosely inserted in it, which must have been inserted when Grandma Leng went out.

Leng Yanqiu locked the gate of the yard and rode his electric tricycle to the end of the field.

Secretary Ma has already led the harvester driver to identify the scope of the ten acres of land and is about to start work.

"I'm sorry, Master. I need to leave two acres of land to grow."

Leng Yanqiu said a word, and the roar of the machine stopped temporarily.

Secretary Ma disagreed and patiently taught him, "Xiao Qiu, I went to the old house this morning and talked to your grandfather about it. He also asked us to collect all the corn to save trouble. He is now focusing on the big project of building a house. While the price of corn is not low these two days, we should clean it up and then plant wheat!"

You see, although she was supposed to be the head of the family, in fact, the villagers still have to confirm with her grandfather before making any arrangements.

Leng Yanqiu was firm: "Leave two acres of land and harvest eight acres."

"Kid, you've never done farm work since you were a child, right? Did you harvest the two acres of land yourself? Did you crush the corn stalks yourself? Also, as we agreed yesterday, the master will not refund the money you have paid." Secretary Ma was very unhappy.

"Then I won't retreat. I must keep two acres of land." Leng Yanqiu's eyes were firm.

Secretary Ma really couldn't understand this child: "You little girl don't know how to live. Your family is building a house, and you need money everywhere. Your grandfather said that all the money from the sale of ten acres of corn should go to him!"

Leng Yanqiu couldn't help but laugh, the root is right here!

"Tonight we'll calculate how much corn can be harvested from one acre. I'll pay for two acres, and you can send it to my grandfather."

She looked quite serious.

The harvester driver was very happy. He didn't have to return the money and he saved the energy of working two acres of land. What a good deal!

"Don't worry, little girl. I'll leave you two acres of land!"

The air was filled with a sweet fragrance again. The master sniffed his nose, feeling that the sweet fragrance was particularly strong today.

Leng Yanqiu did not stay in the field to chat with Secretary Ma. She rode her tricycle to the other side of the Leng family's field, went into the green tent, and picked out some big ones to break off.

Wang's WeChat notification said that the store is temporarily pricing raw corn at 2.5 yuan per head and cooked corn at 3 yuan per head. They are placed in front of the fruit shop, cooked and sold on the spot, and the aroma is so delicious that it can be smelled from a distance.

They even attached photos as proof, and estimated that the food would be sold out during lunch and dinner time.

Therefore, Leng Yanqiu transported part of it home first.

Secretary Ma quickly calculated the yield of Leng's corn field, which was 2,000 kilograms per mu. This was much more than the yield of the previous few families.

"I really can't believe that this family, old and young, can take care of the crops so well!"

"Mr. Leng is an old farmer. He works in the fields every day."

After discarding the moisture from the fresh corn, the harvest of one acre of land was taken away directly, and a payment of two thousand yuan was made.

Since the old man asked Secretary Ma to send the money, Leng Yanqiu did not hesitate. After confirming the boundary of the two acres of land, he transferred 4,000 yuan to Secretary Ma via mobile phone.

"Xiao Qiu, the two acres of land you left behind cannot hinder your grandfather from planting wheat."

Secretary Ma was a little embarrassed. He was trying to help with good intentions, but why did he feel like he was doing something wrong in front of this little girl?

"Don't worry, I'll clean it up quickly." Leng Yanqiu changed the subject, "Secretary Ma, I have to trouble you again. I have some money in my hand now, and I want to renew the lease of the house. Do you think it's okay?"

"Of course you can! If no one lives in a house, it will fall into disrepair." Secretary Ma was suddenly stunned and asked, "Isn't your house almost finished?"

"After the house is built, it needs to be dried before people can live in it, right? Painting and other things, and waiting for furniture to be purchased, will definitely take time. Secretary Ma, do you need to ask the owner's opinion first?"

Secretary Ma: "I can just call his family and tell them. We are from the same family anyway. They can stay at my house when they come back for Chinese New Year to pay respect to their ancestors. Do you want to renew the lease until Chinese New Year?"

"Let's write a three-year lease, and I'll pay one year's rent first. Because I really like that big yard, and I can grow vegetables there even if I move back to the old house in the future. Also, I plan to build a simple greenhouse in the vegetable garden, is that okay? I promise to tidy it up again when I move out."

"You are such a generous little girl!" Secretary Ma blinked his eyes, "Your grandparents are old and can't do much work..."

"I work." Leng Yanqiu emphasized.

"Okay, I'll tell you right away."

Secretary Ma walked a few steps away to make a phone call and quickly replied, "No problem."

I went home to get paper and pen, and the new lease was completed on the spot.

Feeling relieved, Leng Yanqiu pulled a few cartloads of freshly-broken corn cobs home. She didn't plan to sell them all. She picked out the big ones, peeled them, and hung them under the eaves to dry. After they were dried, she threshed them and ground them into flour because she wanted to keep some for herself.

Sitting in the yard busying herself with these things, she felt more relaxed than before. This place temporarily belonged to her, and she could live here for another year, or even three years. That was enough.

A gray rabbit appeared again, acting as if it was oblivious to Leng Yanqiu's presence, and hopping around under the jujube tree.

Being in the same space without disturbing each other is the most comfortable distance for her.

The phone flashed from time to time, and several supermarket owners accepted the friend requests, and there were various complaints from the classmates group.

Some even expressed their desire to continue studying in the live broadcast room tonight, saying that watching short videos was boring and playing games made them feel sick, so they might as well follow Sister Qiu to do their homework.

When Leng Yanqiu finished cooking the porridge and picked up her phone, the classmates’ chat group was full of copy-paste messages, as if in a queue: “Strongly request to continue the live broadcast tonight.”

Otherwise, I would definitely not be able to finish my homework for each subject. I hope to continue to receive the teachers’ smiles and rewards in the new week.

"OK, 7pm." Leng Yanqiu replied, and the group became agitated again, with everyone cheering.

It's just a homework assignment, and he refuses to do it without someone to help him.

I also fantasize about getting good results.

"Do you think our class will still rank last this time? Anyway, I have made progress..."

Leng Yanqiu was too lazy to get involved in this repetitive topic. Wouldn’t she know the monthly exam results on Monday?

It would be better to expand the business.

Some supermarket owners who added Leng Yanqiu as a friend received the online store link, vegetable field pictures and pre-sale prices sent by Leng Yanqiu, but basically received no response.

I sent the picture of corn again and got the same result according to the price given by Brother Wang.

Most of the supermarkets in various communities offer cheap and good quality products. When people asked her for the price she quoted, they all thought she was crazy.
