"Baosheng, you also bought me a gift. I have been married to your second uncle for more than ten years, and he has never even bought me a pair of silver earrings. This bracelet is really heavy!" Hu Huihui saw Baosheng take out the gold bracelet and said,

Checked each one carefully.

"Take it first for your fourth aunt's mother, and then give it to her during the Chinese New Year!" Baosheng said to his mother.

"You're wasting money again. It would be a pity to lose this gold bracelet!" Even though Liu Fenglan said this, she also chose carefully. She gave Shen Ruobing the one she thought looked best first. It seemed that she already regarded Shen Ruobing as her own.

Daughter-in-law!

"What is this?" Liu Fenglan opened another larger box and saw two bright gold bricks inside.

"One gold brick weighs two kilograms. Mom, please hide it for us. This gold will only become more valuable. Now these two gold bricks are worth more than 200,000 yuan. If they are stored for twenty years, they will be worth millions." Baosheng

Said with a smile.

Liu Fenglan didn't say anything at this time. She hurriedly put away the box and left the house to store the gold bricks.

"Brother, why don't you buy this for your sister!" Gao Wenjuan held the gold bracelet and was very moved. Rural girls are just throwing away water when they get married, and they shouldn't take things from their parents' families.

[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on new books. It allows me to switch between sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]

"Take it! If you need money in the future, you can sell it. But don't give it to my eldest brother-in-law. It would be bad if he lost it... By the way, what is the eldest brother-in-law doing at home recently?" Baosheng asked

road.

"I don't let him know! He just came here a few days ago and said that the village is having a hard time this year. He is already considering moving here with us after the spring." Gao Wenjuan said.

"My eldest brother-in-law is willing to come over. I will open a clinic for him in our village in the spring. From now on, everyone with headaches, brain fever, and ailments can be treated.

Dad, you can take care of this matter, I will pay for it, and the village base will be placed between the fourth uncle and the second uncle's village base." Baosheng decided.

A family must have people who can make decisions, so that people can be united. Gao Guoliang nodded after hearing this.

"I will go to your eldest brother-in-law's village in a few days and have a good talk with him. If we can let him come to our house during the Chinese New Year, there will be little rain this autumn. Winter wheat does not grow well in many villages in Yuyang County. Your eldest sister's house is not so good.

The land is not worth much, so it is better to just return it to the village!" Gao Guoliang said.

Gao Wenjuan didn't say anything. Her husband Wei Manliang was unreliable. It was natural for a woman to rely on her natal family. At this time, major family matters were naturally left to her father and younger brother!

Baosheng's three aunts were envious when they saw this. They all said that Baosheng was rich, but they never thought that he could be so rich. The motorcycles given to his father and uncle cost tens of thousands, and the gold jewelry for the women also cost thousands.

, Du Baosheng came home with more than ten dishes for lunch today, half meat and half vegetarian, which is better than what most people eat on New Year's Eve.

"Son! Mom almost forgot. Today is the Laba Festival. You can't do it without drinking Laba porridge. Mom will make porridge for you. This time your dad went to the county to buy lotus seeds. It tastes very good!" Liu Fenglan

Put it away for today and come back and say to your son.

Everyone had already eaten in the morning. Baosheng asked his mother not to bother her too much, but Liu Fenglan didn't listen, so Baosheng had no choice but to let him go.

After dinner, Gao Guoyao rode a motorcycle to the area around Green Sea Lake. Gao Guoliang and Gao Guozhong also rode motorcycles to practice outside the yard. Gao Guoming actually rode his motorcycle directly to Jijiagou. He must have reported to his wife again.

.

Shen Ruobing went to school without saying a few words to Baosheng. Her mother, eldest sister and two aunts sewed quilts for the fourth uncle's house and tidied up all the rooms. In 19 days, the fourth uncle's wedding day will be held. At this time

Everything that needs to be prepared must be prepared.

Baosheng watched his father learn to ride a motorcycle very quickly at home, and now he can ride it casually.

"Baosheng, do you want to try riding it? This motorcycle is really fast!" Gao Guoliang stopped his motorcycle next to his son and asked. There is no man who doesn't like motorcycles. But in the past, Gao Guoliang was the pillar of the family, and everything was fine.

You have to consider your home first, don’t dare to think too much!

"No, I think it's too cold today. It's freezing while riding a motorcycle! By the way, Dad, did Yang Xiaowei tell me about my contracting for the forest area? How did the township decide?" Baosheng attaches great importance to the contracting of the forest area.

"A week after you left, Mayor Yang came. He meant that the city had agreed to use our village as a pilot project. I didn't understand the details. You'd better go to the village and ask Mayor Yang in person!" Gao

Guoliang said.

"What about the cooperative? Are all village representatives elected? Are there any villagers who don't want to join?" Baosheng asked.

"The village committee members of the cooperative have been elected, but the people in the villages are generally not very enthusiastic, and some villages don't even have half of them.

The current role of our cooperative is to help Jijiagou buy corn. If it weren’t for this, fewer people would join,” Gao Guoliang said.

"It's understandable that ordinary people don't know what this cooperative is. In the spring after this year, I plan to build my eldest sister's house as soon as possible. In the past few days, you and my eldest brother-in-law have agreed to move all the household registrations here as soon as possible.

.

Let the cooperative negotiate to find workers for building houses in each village. We can raise the wages a little. In addition, doesn’t my second uncle want to build a house for the volunteers? The village base will be established with the eldest sister’s family. The house will be built together when the time comes.

Hire some people.

And I plan to wait for the fish in Green Sea Lake to be sold, renovate the entire lake, and strengthen the surrounding lake dams. I bought an excavator, two water tankers, and four tractors from the provincial capital, and then hire more workers.

Come, let’s improve Green Sea Lake!” Baosheng said.

"It is not easy to transform Green Sea Lake! This winter, the water level of Green Sea Lake is much higher than in previous years, and it continues to rise.

This shows that the soil in our village has become more compact, and we need to make more preparations for water release, otherwise the entire pond may be flooded. Six years ago, when the water level of Green Sea Lake rose, we failed to deal with it in time, and it fell into pieces in the last year.

No harvest, you must remember this." Gao Guoliang said to his son.

"Of course I remember that after winter, I will do the dewatering work for Green Sea Lake, so that the excess water in the lake will flow to the northern forest area." Baosheng said.

"Just releasing water is not enough. The water flows through the sand and takes away all the western soil. The area where the sand comes out may become larger and larger," Gao Guoliang said.

"No, I will build a cement winding road and build a large pool in the northern part of the forest area. If there is more water, it will be accumulated there. It will be more convenient to collect water for irrigation later. Or simply build more canals to let the water from Luhai Lake

More areas can be irrigated, and then only one pump will be needed to pump water for irrigation," Baosheng said.

"Okay, then let's hire more people. The greenhouse vegetables at home can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month. When the fish in Green Sea Lake are sold, we will have money to repair the canals. You'd better go to the countryside to find Yang as soon as possible.

Township chief, settle matters in the forest area," Gao Guoliang said.

Gao Baosheng nodded after hearing this. When there are more trees in Gaojiawan Village and the environment improves, the water storage capacity of Green Sea Lake will definitely increase, and it will be time to build canals for the village. But if the matter of the contracted forest area can be determined,

Then everything would be easier to handle. Baosheng could even set up a management station in the forest area. He would build his own winery at the management station, store the wine first, and then sell it when the opportunity comes.

After driving to the countryside, the guard saw Baosheng and let him in directly. Baosheng knocked on the door of Yang Xiaowei's office and heard that he was in the office.

"Please come in!" Yang Xiaowei said when he heard the knock on the door.

"Mr. Yang!" Baosheng said politely as he entered.

"Baosheng, it's you! Are you back? How are things going?" Yang Xiaowei saw Baosheng arriving and put down what he was doing.

"Everything went well. This is the lighter I bought from Xiangjiang. I brought one for you!" Baosheng took out a beautiful lighter box and said to Yang Xiaowei.

Yang Xiaowei took out the lighter, looked at it, lit it again and finally extinguished it: "Does this count as bribing me?"

"Bribery must have a purpose, asking someone to do something. I didn't want you to do anything for me, so it shouldn't be considered a bribe!" Baosheng said, sitting opposite Yang Xiaowei.

"Okay, I'll take this thing and give it to the old man next time I go home! I've been waiting for you to come back. You want to contract the forest area and desert, and the city has responded!" Yang Xiaowei said, from the table

He took out a document from his pocket.

This time can only be regarded as an attempt by the city. The city approves you to contract a forest area within 100 acres. The contracting fee is a one-time payment of 50 yuan per mu. The forest area will be contracted for 30 years. Every year, under the guidance of the township government, the forest area will be contracted.

Protect and replant the area.

If you fail to meet the township's forest protection requirements, the township has the right to take back your forest area. If you damage the forest area seriously, you may be legally responsible. Can you accept this?" Yang Xiaowei asked Baosheng.

"That's no problem. I won't cut down the trees before they grow fully grown. However, I have some decision-making power on what trees to plant in the forest area," Baosheng said.

"That's okay. You can only build buildings required for forest protection at most, and building a house must be approved by the village. You can't hunt any wild animals in the forest at will. If you find any wild animals in the forest, you will be held legally responsible for hunting, and you also have

Responsible for preventing wild animals in forest areas from being poached by others," Yang Xiaowei said.

"What else?" Baosheng asked.

"If you want to plant trees in the windbreak zone, you only need to pay 10 yuan per acre to the township. The township will supervise your tree planting and take back the land if the planting does not meet the standards.

You can plant as many trees as you want in the windbreak strip, and it will all become a forest and it will be yours, and the city will not impose any acreage limit.

If you plant trees to prevent sand in the desert area, as long as the trees form a forest, then the forest area will be yours. You only need to report this to the township every year, and we will have dedicated personnel to inspect it." Yang Xiaowei continued.

"Then how are the city's subsidies calculated?" If the desert is contracted to an individual, the city will of course have to provide subsidies, otherwise who can afford to contract such a large desert.

"Forest areas cost four yuan per mu per year, windbreaks cost seven and a half yuan per mu per year, and deserts cost fifteen yuan per mu!" Yang Xiaowei said.

"The price is not high!" Baosheng said after thinking about it.

Even if he plants all the forest windbreaks in the village with trees, it will only cost tens of thousands of yuan a year, which is completely incomparable with the investment. Moreover, if trees are planted in the windbreaks, they will become forest areas in the second year, and the desert will not be able to prevent winds in the first year.

No money will be given if you fail the test successfully, and half will be left in the second year if you succeed.

"It will definitely not be high. Contracting the desert will definitely require investment in the first few years, and it may take ten years to make a profit. If you want a contracting policy, this is it." Yang Xiaowei said.

"Then I want to contract all the windbreaks in the forest area north of the village, is that possible?" Baosheng asked.

"Full contract? Your village should have more than 4,000 acres of windbreak area! This year, even if the sand and grass in the newly built windbreak area last year are taken away by the wind, there will still be more than 3,000 acres. Can you plant it?" Yang Xiaowei asked in surprise.

"If the township is willing to let me contract, I plan to buy some professional machinery and equipment, and then build a canal from Green Sea Lake to the northern part of the forest area. Through the cooperative, I will hire people from all over the township and even from other places to dig holes with rotary drills and water them with large water tankers.

, we should be able to capture four thousand acres in five months," Baosheng said.

"This way you will invest a lot. Do you have that much money?" Yang Xiaowei asked.

"Anyway, if I can't plant saplings after paying the money, and the saplings can't be kept alive, the township can just take back the land!"

No matter how much money I make, it doesn't make much sense. I might as well spend it all in the village. Even if I fail in the end, the forest area in the village will definitely be larger, so it's not meaningless!" Baosheng said.

"If you want to contract, then contract it! However, the situation in this forest area will not be confirmed until the township inspects it at the end of June. At that time, I will hold a meeting for each village in the township, especially the people of Gaojiawan, to make it clear.
