Rebirth Autumn Returns to the Countryside

Chapter 75 Why is there no gatehouse?

Therefore, after remote communication with Ma San, Secretary Ma went out and called the heads of the three neighboring households to the west.

It is not easy to gather these witnesses. There are many vacant houses in the village. The young and middle-aged people are all going to big cities to work, and the remaining elderly people basically live in the village center.

"Xiao Qiu, you recognize them all, right? You should call this one Grandpa Dalong, he lives closest to you; these two are your Uncle Ma Wu and Uncle Liu San." Secretary Ma gave a brief introduction. Leng Yanqiu was too dull in the past and basically didn't talk to the people in the village, and it was even more difficult for him to come to the east end of the village to meet people.

These gentlemen recognized the girl's appearance through the violent conflict between Leng Yanqiu and Leng Zhiqiang that day.

If it weren't for the secretary's sake, I really wouldn't want to come here to witness this transaction so late at night. No matter who is more to blame for the conflict between Leng Zhiqiang and his daughter, I don't want to get involved in this mess.

But Leng Yanqiu's attitude was very respectful, completely different from the way she swung a shovel to hit back at Leng Zhiqiang that day. Moreover, when the tea was brought to her, it smelled fragrant and made her feel warm and light.

There is also a more explicit attitude that directly hits the sensitive points of men.

"Secretary Ma, you see, we have all worked so hard to come here to bear witness, and I can't even prepare a meal for everyone. So how much is the appropriate reward? We can't pay less than the market price."

What a well-behaved child!

Secretary Ma couldn't respond to this, and neither could the "masters" respond to this.

The secretary's wife laughed and said, "Before, our village would hold a banquet and invite the brokers, just for fun, spending a few hundred yuan on cigarettes, alcohol and food, just to get to know the neighbors and have a good time. We live close to each other, and you are a little girl, so everyone is happy to help for free. Xiaoqiu, just remember everyone's kindness in your heart."

"That's right, listen to your aunt." Secretary Ma nodded, and everyone nodded.

Leng Yanqiu: Fortunately, I lived another three hundred years.

"Then let's do this. I won't prepare the meal, but I'll ask the secretary to treat everyone to a drink." Leng Yanqiu swiped his phone and received a transfer of eight hundred yuan from Secretary Ma.

The atmosphere became lively, and Secretary Ma made the ceremony more formal. He invited Ma San to a video call on his mobile phone, greeted everyone one by one, accepted the entrustment, signed the house purchase contract, pressed fingerprints and stamped the official seal of the village committee.

Another 83,000 yuan was transferred directly to Ma San’s account, confirmed received, and completed.

Everything went smoothly. When they were about to wave goodbye in the video, Ma San reminded them, "Little girl from the Leng family, our house is built solidly. The land in the front yard, you know, used to be a water storage pit, right? If it rains heavily, you have to keep an eye on it. That's it, old and young, see you during the New Year."

Video connection terminated.

Several "masters" looked at each other, stood up and said goodbye: "Xiao Qiu, if you have any problems in the future, just call me."

Secretary Ma and his wife looked slightly embarrassed. They stood up and walked out. When they were the only three people left, they hesitantly explained what Ma San had said before.

"It's nothing, actually. It was just a big hole. After it was filled with soil, it got soaked when it rained heavily, so it collapsed a little."

"I was just about to tell you, but I forgot about it. Hey, you can't even live in all these houses by yourself, so why do you need to build another one on the dirt pit? It won't be a problem if you use it as a vegetable garden, and the Ma San family refilled the dirt the last time it collapsed."

Leng Yanqiu asked: "Here at the gatehouse, in the yard in front of the house, was it also a pit before?"

The custom of building houses in the village is to build at least a circle of auxiliary rooms, or at least half a circle, with east rooms, south rooms and west rooms. If you have enough money, you can add them.

But the Ma family's house only has a row of main houses, with no walls or gates, but no gatehouse.

Secretary Ma was embarrassed even in the darkness: "The edge of the pit is just inside the jujube tree. The main house is really fine."

The secretary's wife gritted her teeth and added, "Don't build the auxiliary rooms or the gatehouse. Don't worry, Xiaoqiu. If it collapses again someday, ask your uncle to build a new wall for you."

"That is to say, except for the main house, the rest of the ground is not suitable for construction." Leng Yanqiu's voice did not show any anxiety, but was just a relaxed inquiry. "Then will the greenhouse I spent a huge amount of money to build have the problem of collapse?"

Who can be sure of this? Secretary Ma's legs were moving westward: "Should, probably, maybe not?"

The secretary's wife suggested: "Xiao Qiu, if you are worried, then dig a drainage ditch outside the courtyard wall and connect it to the ground. Last time the ditch collapsed, we thought it was okay, and the whole family stayed in the house to avoid the rain, and didn't care whether the drainage ditch was blocked or not."

Secretary Ma: "Xiao Qiu, I will take care of the rest of the formalities. Don't worry, we can all prove it. The house is yours, and I will never let your father or grandfather interfere."

The couple was getting more and more embarrassed the more they talked about the previous topic, so they quickly expressed their opinions and put away the oil on their feet.

In fact, Leng Yanqiu was not angry. It was not a loss to buy such a big yard for 85,000 yuan. She liked it even though others disliked its remoteness and puddles. If it really collapsed one day, she would just dig a new hole to raise fish and lotus roots. It was no big deal!

Unless it’s a matter of life or death, everything else is just drizzle.

From this moment on, I become a homeowner, but I haven’t taken out a loan yet.

She locked the gate and turned around. A white mass ran towards her silently. It was Zhazha.

When there are others around, Zha Zha knows how to use the invisible state. At most, he will appear more aggressive and care more about the jasmine field.

Once Leng Yanqiu is the only owner left, Zha Zha becomes active and keeps muttering "cluck, cluck, cluck". People who don't know the situation would think that this hen is so hardworking and introverted that she stays up late at night competing to lay eggs!

"Indeed, I haven't had time to pick eggs today." Leng Yanqiu followed Zhazha to the bamboo fence, the blue light of his cell phone flashing through his trouser pocket.

It turned out to be Secretary Ma who had just left who called.

"Xiao Qiu, I forgot to tell you about the 110 investigation. Many people in our village have made statements, and I'm not sure who said what. Just keep an eye on it. I'm hanging up now!"

Leng Yanqiu shrugged and continued picking eggs.

Suddenly I found something wrong. The bamboo fence was very clean, as if it had just been swept. But no one dared to go in without permission. After all, with the addition of two big roosters weighing three or four pounds, the power of the chickens attacking in groups should not be underestimated.

Then why is it pointless to tiptoe carefully?

"Cluck, cluck, cluck." The chatterbox puffed out his chicken chest.

Thanks to it, the most taboo hygiene issue in chicken farming for humans has been solved by the smart and arrogant Zha Zha Chicken.

"Cluck, cluck." The concentrated fertilizer production location is a pit in the corner.

The bathroom is open-air, awesome!

Take a closer look, how well does the scumbag lead his team? On the wooden rack, the chickens are displayed one by one, lying prone with their heads stretched into their wings, and the half-exposed combs are tilted at uniform angles.

It's like having undergone a hasty military training.
