Chapter 31 Reclaiming Private Land

 Chen Zixuan tilted his head, thought for a moment, and wanted a few larger logs and some adobe.

In this way, you don't need too many adobe bricks to enclose it, and no one knows what he is planting inside, so it is more hidden.

You can't let others pick it whenever they want. This is your own land. You bought the land and don't want it to be shared by others.

In this era, you can use lime and loess and add some water to make a paste, so that they can be well bonded together.

The adhesion is not much worse than that of cement, but the cement does not fall off easily. Over time, the outer skin will fall off and become dusty.

"Okay, if you still want to buy something, just tell me. I'll give you a deposit of twenty yuan first. If it's not enough, then ask me for more, okay?"

After giving him twenty yuan, he still had more than fifty yuan on hand, thinking that he had to make more money as soon as possible.

"Sure, no problem."

After taking the money, Zhang Hongguo went out.

Captain Zhang Hongguo has always been vigorous and resolute.

Now that the deal had been settled, Chen Zhiqing was a little anxious. He immediately went to the villagers to discuss it and wanted to get it done as soon as possible.

The captain moved very quickly, and by the afternoon several men had brought the wood over.

Then the adobe bricks and some tools for work were brought in one after another. For the first time, Chen Zixuan felt that everyone can work very efficiently in this era.

Everything has been moved to the back of the Educated Youth Point, and it is estimated that we can start work tomorrow.

The educated youths were very curious when they came back, what are these things for, and the land here has been weeded.

Xie Yang felt a little unbelievable.

It used to be said that houses could not be built here and could only be left empty temporarily. Is this what we are planning now?

"This newly arrived educated youth is really rich. He can buy such a large piece of land casually. He doesn't know what he is buying it for. There is already a lot of land cultivated here. We rural people have worked hard for several years.

You may not be able to save that much money.”

The villagers who came to move the adobe bricks looked envious and complained about being tired. They only came to help after work.

There is no charge for helping, just a meal to fill your stomach. Everyone is looking forward to Chen Zhiqing's meal.

I don’t know if there will be any oil or water.

Nowadays, rural people only eat meat once or twice a year, and most of them only have a little bit of meaty meat.

Sure enough, you can't compare with others, it will make people angry to death, the difference is too big.

"Ah? Brother, please excuse me and ask, did you just say that you were reclaiming the land of our educated youth?"

Xie Yang didn't quite believe it, why would someone buy so much land instead of just building a house? It was a bit strange, plus they were probably going back to the city, and they probably wouldn't stay here for the rest of their lives. Why was they wasting money here?

Some of them are not very understandable.

Seeing his confusion, the helper wiped his sweat and stood up.

"Isn't this the land that you, Chen Zhiqing, want to cultivate? It would be nice if we could work and have a meal after work."

This job is simple and easy. It is still in the village and you don’t have to go out. You may not be able to get this kind of job if you want it.

When the captain came to the door, they were all a little shocked that the educated youth was so rich, but they didn't object.

This is all land in their village. They are just selling it to him to grow some things. I don’t know what they are doing. Anyway, it will still belong to the village after he leaves, and it is actually rented.

"Chen Zhiqing? Is it Chen Zixuan?"

Among the educated youths, there was not just one but two or three with the surname Chen. However, they were old educated youths. They had been here for such a long time and none of them had bought land. The first thing that came to his mind was Chen Zixuan.

"Yes, it's the new Chen Zixuan and Chen Zhiqing. Let's not talk about it. It's getting dark. We have to move back quickly."

At this time, everyone at home had already started cooking, and I didn’t know if it was cooked yet. They all felt very hungry.

Xie Yang nodded. After saying goodbye to his helper brother, he still couldn't understand why he suddenly wanted to buy land.

"Zixuan, why do you suddenly want to buy land?"

Li Jie, who happened to walk to the door, heard their conversation and only now realized that Chen Zixuan wanted to buy land.

"Yes, why did you buy land all of a sudden!"

Facing the questioning from the two people, Chen Zixuan held his forehead helplessly. He seemed to have forgotten to explain clearly to them.

Could it be that you just want to live by yourself?

"I just want to have land to grow things, so that I can grow what I like to eat and send some back."

He definitely couldn't say that he grew it to sell. Everyone would understand if he said he would send it back to his parents, and he would also say he was filial, but he definitely had no intention of sending anything back.

I originally wanted to persuade Chen Zixuan to think more carefully and not decide so quickly. How much does it cost to buy a piece of land and hire someone to cultivate it?

It’s just that Chen Zixuan has already said this, so they don’t stop him much. They are not very familiar with each other, and it is not easy to give him advice on personal matters.

"Okay, now that you have decided, if you need any help, please tell us and we will help if you can."

"Okay, then I'd like to thank you first."

Chen Zixuan walked out and took a look at the materials. Sure enough, they were all of high quality, otherwise the captain would not have dared to send them here.

If you ask the villagers to reclaim the land, they will still have to work. It does not mean that they will stop working if they help reclaim the land.

I only came here to weed and clear the land after finishing the work. I estimate that if we calculate the construction period this way, it should be almost half a month.

The premise is that the work should not be too delicate. If it is too complicated, they will not be able to do it, and they will have to hire special craftsmen.

In the evening, Zhang Hongguo rarely came over to the educated youth center to check the prepared materials. They were of excellent quality and did not disgrace him.

"Chen Zhiqing, are these materials okay?"

Zhang Hongguo smiled and smoked a dry cigarette. He bought these adobe bricks from good friends, which can be much cheaper.

He also wanted to save Chen Zixuan some money.

"Not bad, not bad. The quality of the building materials is very good. It was arranged by the captain. How could it be bad? It's so good. Hehe."

Put a high hat on Zhang Hongguo first, so that Chen Zixuan won’t worry about what he brings over next time being of poor quality.

Not only are these adobe bricks better than others, they are actually a bit cheaper, even the wood is completely solid and extremely strong. It is estimated that it can last for twenty years, let alone ten years.

Zhang Hongguo smiled when he heard this and suddenly slapped his head, secretly thinking that he had almost forgotten the purpose of coming here.

"By the way, Chen Zhiqing, the villagers will come here to work after work in the evening. It's too hot at noon and they have to take a rest, so it's cool at night and it's not that hard. You don't have to pay the villagers, you have to give them a meal.

It’s up to you to decide how the food will be.”

You can’t eat too well, too much will cost money, and too little will make the villagers feel stingy and unwilling to work hard for you.

Anyway, this is what Zhang Hongguo thinks. He knows the people in the village relatively well, and besides, everyone is helping people like this.

Zhang Hongguo was worried that Chen Zixuan didn't understand these worldly things, so he deliberately came over to give him some advice.

Don't do anything that makes people think bad, but judging from the current situation, it will inevitably make everyone think that Chen Zixuan is a spendthrift.

"Okay, I understand. Thanks to the captain for reminding me. I will think about what to cook and I won't treat you badly."
