My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 8 Wasteland

   Wang Susu's attention has always been on Chen Ling.

   So he immediately noticed that Chen Ling was looking at her, raised his head slightly, and met Chen Ling's burning gaze.

Before   , Wang Susu would definitely avoid it unnaturally, or lowered his head and dared not look at him.

  Because of the previous Chen Ling, his eyes were very scary, especially when he lost his temper.

   is different now.

   Even though Chen Ling stared at her, she was no longer afraid, but felt a little inexplicable happiness in her heart.

   feels sweet.

   For a while, the atmosphere was warm and ambiguous.

   However, the big horn of the village committee rang at this time, saying that the exchange of cultivated land would be completed this month, and that every household involved should make preparations as soon as possible.

   The loudspeaker shouted three times in a row.

Every time she shouted   , Wang Susu's face became paler.

After shouting   , Wang Susu's expression changed from shy and happy to panic.

   looked at Chen Ling and wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.

   seems to have become the little white rabbit who was frightened by a little movement before.

   "Don't worry about Susu, I can handle the arable land!"

  Chen Ling smiled at her with relief, and then said:

   "You stay at home, I'll go to the brigade."

   "You, what are you going to do?"

  Wang Susu was taken aback when she heard the words, she quickly stood up and looked at him nervously.

   "I'm going to do the exchange of farmland."

   "The fifth uncle also said yesterday that the nature of the land for the two-pillar greenhouse has been determined, and our cultivated land cannot be replaced."

   "Since that's the case, it's better to get things done earlier. It's not so simple to re-divide the cultivated land, so you don't have to delay it and drag out other troubles."

  Chen Ling said.

   "But, the Erzhu family's land can't be planted..."

  Wang Susu became anxious when she heard this, her brows furrowed.

   "After ten years of famine, grass can't grow, and no food can grow at all."

   "Otherwise, let's think of a way."

  Chen Ling clapped her hand when she heard the words: "Don't worry Susu, I have a solution, do you think I've just been a fool in the county for the past two years?"

   "I also heard a lot of news. I heard that there are many abandoned wastelands in the south that have been developed into fertile fields. I have learned the pattern."

   "So to use our ten or so acres of land for more than thirty acres of Erzhu's family, that's a lot to do!"

   "Besides, planting wasteland is not without benefits. At least you don't have to pay the annual withdrawals, which can save a lot of money."

   "You should know that too."

  Chen Ling's previous words were purely nonsense.

   What else can he do in the county town besides eating, drinking and having fun.

   But what I said later is true, and there is no lie.

   Therefore, Wang Susu was very confused when he heard it.

   bit his lip and whispered: "But the land of Erzhu's house used to be the land of a lime factory. There is so much lime buried in the ground, so what are you planting to die for? Can this kind of land really be developed into a fertile land..."

What   Wang Susu said is true.

   Chen Erzhu's home is where his father runs a lime factory.

   Later, there was a big earthquake, and the ground of the lime factory collapsed. I don’t know how many tons of lime were buried in the ground.

  Because of this, Chen Erzhu's father owed a lot of debt, and he couldn't take the land.

   Up to now, it has been deserted for almost ten years, and now it is surrounded by a circle of graves.

  This kind of land is planted and killed. A few years ago, before the Chenwangzhuang brigade was disbanded, some saplings were planted, and now more than half of them have died.

   is alive, and he is still as tall as that person for so many years, and he has hardly grown.

   All the leaves are yellow and half dead.

   These are all burnt from underground lime.

  Wang Susu knew this, so after hearing about the exchange of farmland with the Erzhu family, she never felt at ease.

   If it were the former Chen Ling, it would definitely have to stare.

   But now Chen Ling has the Sun Moon Cave in his hand, whether it is saline-alkali land or lime land, it doesn't matter.

   is all about the magic of the cave.

   Sticking a chopstick on the ground can make it sprout.

  So Chen Ling didn't panic at all, still comforting Wang Susu with a smile: "It's okay, I have a solution, you have to trust me, Susu!"

   "Okay, you stay at home, I'll be back when I go."

   After saying that, he patted Wang Susu's hand again and walked out.

   Seeing Chen Ling's resolute and confident look, Wang Susu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

   just looked at Chen Ling's back and let out a long sigh.

  …

   After Chen Ling walked out of the house, he went straight to the village committee.

   But on the way, he encountered many people standing on the street talking, and when he passed by, some people pointed at him vaguely.

   After listening carefully, Chen Ling realized that Wang Susu lied to him yesterday.

   Apart from exchanging farmland with him, all other people's land is contracted for money.

   In other words, no one is willing to exchange land with Chen Erzhu. After all, who does not know the situation of that land in the village?

   There is no way to grow food, and people are not stupid.

   Only Chen Ling, a sloppy slob, stupidly pressed his handprint for the 200 yuan subsidy for Chen Erzhu per mu of land.

   This matter, Wang Susu also hid it from him. Yesterday, he just said that there were a few houses in the village that had exchanged, and some were unwilling to exchange.

   wanted to use this method to persuade Chen Ling, and then tried to find a way to discuss with Chen Erzhu to change it into contracted land.

  However, Chen Erzhu found someone in the county, and the township quickly stamped the seal and approved the construction of the greenhouse, and the exchange place completely became Chen Erzhu's.

   "Hey, it's really hard for her..."

  Chen Ling secretly sighed.

   He understood very well that Wang Susu lied to him yesterday, and there was nothing he could do.

Before   , if Wang Susu told him the truth.

   With his stinky temper, he might have another commotion.

   "The Erzhu family's land is a wasteland. It has been barren for more than ten years, and the grass is not growing well. What can I grow?"

"It's just that the rich and rich slack thinks about eating, drinking and having fun, and he is greedy for the two hundred yuan per mu of land posted to him. He also doesn't think about it, the two pillars cover other people's land, and each mu of land is given one hundred dollars per year, compared to Other villages will give you 30 or 40 yuan more."

   "A fool knows which of the two is better!"

   "Fugui also reacted later, and his intestines are regretful!"

   "I heard from the people in the east of the village yesterday that Fugui heard from the village chief that he couldn't replace the land, so he fainted in the yard and woke up after dark."

   "I also heard from my dead old lady that this happened, and she all complained about the greed of this scumbag. It's too late to regret it now."

   "It's a pity that such a good daughter-in-law has to suffer with him. I really don't blame his family for beating him, he deserves it!"

  “…”

   Along the way, there is really nothing to say.

   After finally reaching the village committee, Wang Laishun was not there yet.

   said he was leading people from the family planning office in the village to do some investigation.

  Chen Ling had to find a chair, sit down and wait.

   After waiting for about twenty minutes, Wang Laishun came back, followed by a plump, tall and beautiful little woman.

   He is about thirty years old, has a good temperament, and dresses very well.

   Of course, this foreign style is relative to this era.

  Chen Ling glanced at it and thought that this should be the person from the township family planning office.

   "Yo, Fugui, you are here!"

  Wang Laishun saw Chen Ling sitting at the door, so he smiled and said hello.

   Then he pointed at the little woman behind him and said, "Come on, let me introduce you, this is Director Qin Qiumei of the family planning office in the village."

   "Director Qin has been staying at Dongmei's house for the past few days. You are facing the door, and you can't see each other when you look down. You can't miss seeing each other these days."

  Wang Laishun said with a smile.

What?

   Live opposite Mendongmei's house?

   Chen Ling suddenly realized that this Director Qin was an acquaintance.

   On the first day he woke up, the confusion of time and space made him in a trance, and he didn't know where he was, so he climbed up from the bed wearing a big pants and walked out the door to look around.

   happened to be caught by Qin Qiumei who came out with a bucket to pour out the waste water, thinking he was playing a hooligan, and poured a bucket of cold water down his head.

   I didn't expect to meet here, and the other party actually has such a layer of identity.

   The director of the Township Family Planning Office is incredible.

   There is only one heroine, Wang Susu, and the others, regardless of beauty or ugliness, are supporting roles and are used to promote the plot...
