Chapter 17 Don't bully young poor
Seeing Li Shaoan appear, Zhao Xuemei was not in a hurry to go back, but instead made tea for Li Shaoan.
"Shao'an, I have some excellent green tea here, so I'll give you a try."
Zhao Xuemei took an enamel cup, unscrewed an iron box with exquisite packaging, grabbed a handful of tea from it, poured boiling water from the thermos, and brewed a cup of hot tea for Li Shaoan very neatly.
"Thank you." Smelling the fragrance of the tea leaves, it is indeed much more advanced than the big-leaf tea I drink at home. Li Shaoan asked, "This tea is not cheap."
"It's okay, you don't have to pay. It's all taken by my father-in-law." Zhao Xuemei said.
Drinking a mouthful of hot tea into his mouth, and regaining some touch on his lips that were frozen by the wind and snow on the road, Li Shaoan said: "Xuemei, you said you asked me to come again in a few days. What's going on?"
Zhao Xuemei looked outside the door and confirmed that there was no one else. Then she walked over and closed the door gently and whispered: "I know that the above will have to compare the special poverty alleviation funds recently. From now on, our village will have subsidies from the county, with 3 pieces of paddy fields per mu and 1 piece of dry land per mu."
"Ah!" Lin Shuisheng was shocked. It was the first time he heard the news and said, "If this were to be counted, it would save a lot of money."
According to the amount of 3 yuan acre of paddy fields, that is 12 yuan, and the amount of 1 yuan acre of dry fields is 11 yuan, which is 11 yuan. In this way, it will be 118 yuan. The Li family will have to contract ten acres of land in the new year, which is equivalent to the family's income for a month. It is not a small amount of money.
"Just just now, Ma Dezhu from the village came to ask me about this, but I ignored him." Zhao Xuemei said: "Everyone in the village is smart and asks about this with his ears."
Li Shaoan smiled and said, "Then you tell me about this, Xuemei, you are so nice to me."
Zhao Xuemei's face suddenly turned red, and she glanced at Li Shaoan, not knowing whether she liked or blamed her.
"With this subsidy, the price of paddy fields is only 1 yuan more expensive than dry fields. Contracting paddy fields is obviously much more cost-effective." Li Shaoan said with his chin in his mind.
Zhao Xuemei followed and said, "Yes, the income of a mu of paddy field is nearly three layers higher than that of a mu of dry land, and of course it is better for paddy fields. There are almost 40 mu of paddy fields in the village now. Do you understand what I mean?"
"You want me to contract it?" Li Shaoan suddenly became excited. If he really contracted all the remaining paddy fields, he would be considered a big rice farmer.
Zhao Xuemei didn't know what Li Shaoan was going to farm, so she shook her head and said, "You are stupid, I mean to tell your elder brother to take the lead in contracting a few more acres."
Only then did Li Shaoan tell Zhao Xuemei about farming and said, "Xuemei, actually, my elder brother gave me four acres of paddy fields. I want to grow rice myself next year."
"You want to farm?"
Zhao Xuemei was shocked. Although she had never planted the fields, she knew the hardships of struggling in mud and water all day long. Her father-in-law Huang Yunlong had fifteen acres of paddy fields at home. The old couple always paid for the village laborers to plant them. How could she be willing to suffer that?
"I not only have to plant my own four acres, but also took over the four acres of my elder brother's family." Li Shaoan smiled and said, "There is the situation now, I will discuss with my elder brother again to see if I can contract another ten acres."
Seeing Li Shaoan smiling confidently, Zhao Xuemei realized that this man was going to be serious. Going rich in Tieshanwan was not just a lip service.
"Don't worry, I'm a sensible person." Li Shaoan saw Zhao Xuemei's beautiful eyes showing a look of worry, and comforted her with a smile.
"Well, since it's your decision, let's go and do it boldly. I will help you with any difficulties." Although Zhao Xuemei was worried, she felt vaguely in her heart that this man is worthy of trust.
"Then you have to prepare quickly. This policy will be officially released in a few days. There will definitely be many people robbing it at that time." Zhao Xuemei reminded.
Li Shaoan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will tell my elder brother when I go back tonight. Xuemei, I really thank you this time."
Zhao Xuemei was very happy and smiled sly, "Then tell me how to thank me?"
"This..." Li Shaoan scratched his head, and for a while he couldn't think of any good way, "Can I make me think about it very much?"
"Okay, then think about it slowly. Remember to tell me after thinking about it." Zhao Xuemei showed a proud look.
When I came here, I had no intention of getting such a big news. Li Shaoan suddenly felt that Zhao Xuemei was really helping her and was a noble person in her destiny.
If he contracted ten acres of paddy fields in the village, the income would be doubled directly. Although he would definitely be much more tiring than now, he was a young and strong young man and did not take these seriously at all.
As the two of them talked, the lightly hidden wooden door was pushed open, and a cold wind immediately poured into the room.
"Yeah, there are still people here."
The person who opened the door and walked in was Huang Yunlong, the village chief of Tieshanwan. This old man is fifty years old this year. His figure is a typical middle-aged and elderly person. He has a beer belly, a lot of flesh on his face, and a little bald in the middle of his head. He gives people the feeling of being a vulgar fat man.
Huang Yunlong had just gotten off work from the village chief's office and saw the door of the finance room was lightly closed. He thought that his daughter-in-law forgot to lock the door when she came home from get off work, so he came to take a look. Unexpectedly, he saw two people saying this inside, one was his daughter-in-law Zhao Xuemei, and the other was Li Shaoan, the youngest son of the Li family.
"Dad, you haven't gotten off work yet?"
Zhao Xuemei was slightly shocked, but she immediately regained her calmness and acted calmly. She and Li Shaoan did nothing at all, so naturally she had confidence in her heart.
"Just just left, I saw that the door here is not closed, come and take a look."
Huang Yunlong didn't hear the conversation between the two before, and didn't know what they had given birth, so he didn't feel suspicious.
Zhao Xuemei said: "Li Shaoan came to pay the land contract for his brother."
Huang Yunlong's eyes fell on Li Shaoan, with a knife hidden in his smile, and said, "Isn't this a phoenix flying out of our Tieshan Bay? Shaoan, I heard that you have been back for several days and will not come to Uncle Huang's house to sit."
Li Shaoan immediately stood up and handed the bag of winter bamboo shoots he brought to Huang Yunlong's hand, and said with a fake smile: "This is the winter bamboo shoots my brother has dug in the mountains these two days. They are all the freshest and tenderest. I specially asked me to send them to you."
Huang Yunlong took the snakeskin bag and opened it. It turned out that they were all the best winter bamboo shoots. He immediately smiled happily and pretended to say, "Your brother is good everywhere, but he is too polite. Everyone in a village belongs to the villagers, which makes me embarrassed."
Having said that, Huang Yunlong was not polite at all and took the bag of winter bamboo shoots.
"Shaoan, I heard that you want to do a big fight when you come back this time."
"Where is it just a small fight."
"Your third sister-in-law Ma Hui is saying everywhere that you are coming back this time to change the day of Tieshan Bay." Huang Yunlong's words are obviously more than one level, and change the day of another day? Do you still take me as the village chief seriously?
Li Shaoan was slightly angry. It seemed that Ma Hui must be dissatisfied with the distribution of the fields, so she promoted the farming matter everywhere, so she saw that she would make a fool of herself in front of the whole village.
"It is a good thing to have this ambition, and young people should be motivated." Huang Yunlong changed his tone, and his words were filled with a strong sense of contempt. He said: "But more often, you should be down-to-earth, not be too arrogant, and be too ambitious. The situation in Tieshan Bay cannot be changed by just four acres of land. Do you know how many acres of land there are in Tieshan Bay? 482 acres."
When Li Shaoan heard the four acres of land mentioned by Huang Yunlong, he knew that he had some meaning. Finally, he said the total number of land in Tieshan Bay. He just wanted to tell Li Shaoan that all young people knew that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and the four acres of land forgot what his name was.
Hearing his father-in-law's words, Zhao Xuemei secretly glanced at Li Shaoan, afraid that he would be angry, but she didn't dare to say anything. After all, Huang Yunlong was her father-in-law.
Li Shaoan's fist was tightly packed behind his back, and blue veins on his arms swelled up. He was a passionate young man who was in his early twenties, and how could he bear this energy?
But reason tells Li Shaoan that he does not have the strength to compete with Huang Yunlong now. This is not a martial arts book. He relies on a pair of fists and two kitchen knives to conquer the world. After all, what he fights is connections, status, money, and social relations.
A real man can bend and stretch. He has been in the east of the Hebei region for thirty years and in the west of the Hebei region for thirty years. He Huang Yunlong is sarcastic in front of him today and will definitely step on his feet in the future.
"Shao'an, although the starting point is lower, Uncle Huang is optimistic about you." The contempt in Huang Yunlong's smile was almost written on his face.
Li Shaoan was neither humble nor arrogant, and responded with a smile: "What the village chief said is that there is a saying that the soldiers are not in many but in elites, and the generals are not in courage but in planning. Although the three households of Chu can destroy Qin, the three thousand can swallow Wu. With strategy in his heart, four acres of fertile land are the world, and it is in vain to hold a thousand acres of fertile land in his hand."
Zhao Xuemei was silent all the time, listening to the conversation between the two. When she heard Li Shaoan say this, she clearly felt that Li Shaoan was angry, and that unyielding anger was burning in his chest. At the same time, these words made Zhao Xuemei fall in love with the unique temperament of this man.
