He was indeed a very honest person. In his previous life, Chen Yifei remembered that his family had not built a new house because he had given away all the quota for the family's house.

He only thought about how difficult things were for others, but in the end, he was the one who suffered. His wife saw that he hadn't been promoted for so many years and had even lost her own career, so she eventually divorced him.

He lived a solitary life.

Thinking about this, Chen Yifei realized that even if the area was capped at 140 square meters, it was still inappropriate to use the village party secretary's own quota.

He simply looked at the village secretary and said, "How about this, Uncle, we use the area of ​​our arable land directly, and then we won't need the homestead anymore? What do you think?"

The land contracting system has just started, and each household is to be allocated land. However, the brigade hasn't allocated much land yet.

Furthermore, homestead land is much more valuable than farmland.

After Chen Yifei said this, the village party secretary was somewhat surprised: "It is possible, and the area could be much larger."

"But are you really sure?"

"The farmland is far away, so where is a good place for a homestead? Now we can exchange it for more farmland."

“The land contract system has just been implemented, and we haven’t figured out how to implement it yet. Everyone is scrambling for good land. I can also give you a good location to build a house, which is indeed larger than your homestead area.”

"The reason your family's homestead area is small is mainly because you have a small family. It's divided according to the number of people. Other families have seven or eight children, but your family only has three. It's really not worth it."

"If you need a large area, there is a piece of farmland over there, the withered grassland. You could have four acres of it without any problem."

"But there's no point in keeping that place."

The village party secretary hadn't finished speaking.

Chen Yifei's eyes lit up!

Over there in the withered grass? I remember mining cyanide from withered grass in my past life.

The area below is entirely composed of glaucophane deposits. News reports indicate that the resources are abundant and the glaucophane is of very pure quality.

Chen Yifei was already quite wealthy at the time, so he just treated it as a bit of fun and felt a sense of pride, as this was his hometown.

That small mountain village actually managed to mine ore, and they put all six acres of land to good use.

I'm just excited right now; I never imagined making money would be so close to my own life.

Chen Yifei immediately stood up: "Okay! I remember that the dry grass area is six acres."

"Uncle, why don't you give me all six acres of land? We don't need the homestead anymore."

If some villagers don't want the right to use their homesteads, other families can expand their properties, which is equivalent to benefiting the whole village. Since they have many children, the villagers won't be angry at all if Chen Yifei has such a plan.

Let alone the villagers' attitude in the future, even the current village party secretary was somewhat surprised: "Yifei, are you really sure about this?"

"I'm just giving an example, just saying. Nothing grows on that barren grassland, it's really strange. No matter how much manure you use, the things that grow are all problematic and completely inedible. The brigade suffered a lot of losses before."

"Are you really sure you want to buy that piece of land now, and not a residential plot?"

"I've made up my mind. I want all six acres of that withered grass."

After saying this, the village secretary felt even more helpless and thought the child was foolish.

From now on, their family will no longer have quotas for farmland or residential land.

A rural person will still need to farm to survive; land is everyone's capital. Without land, it's like having nothing.

Trading such important things for that patch of withered grass is something only a madman would do.

"Six mu it is. Everyone will thank you for such a small thing."

"The village will issue a notice later, and everyone can give their opinion. But I don't think anyone will object; people wouldn't even want this for free."

Chen Yifei smiled and said, "I want it."

"I'd appreciate it if you could help with the public announcement and the procedures for my land. Please ask for everyone's opinion and be as strict with me as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid that if I use it later, people might feel resentful, which could cause a lot of trouble."

He likes to solve problems in the cradle.

Village Party Secretary: "..."

I really didn't expect that this child would think that others would be jealous of him, or that they would envy him and want to take him away?

This person has some mental issues; they can't do basic math. Living on that kind of land, building a house is difficult—it's far away, in a bad location, at the very end of the village.

Having a large area is completely useless; you can't even grow a single vegetable to eat. The house is completely bare.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of all the procedures."

"Thank you, Uncle." Chen Yifei said sincerely. He remembered that in his previous life, this land was mined, and most of the villagers lived a stable life on the compensation money from the mine. There was no need to work hard anymore; they could just lie down and relax.

In my past life, this land was left empty and undeveloped until it was discovered by researchers. Later, it was mined, and the compensation was split equally among the entire village.

In this lifetime, Chen Yifei will not hold back.

He thanked the village party secretary, who sighed.

"Don't thank me. When your dad finds out about this, he won't be laughing at all; he might even think I bullied you."

"Yifei, don't be impulsive!"

"If people laugh at you then, I won't help you."

“I know, I’ve thought it through. When we build a house there, we can find other black soil in the mountains to grow flowers and plants! If we can’t use it underground, we can use it for potted plants, which my wife likes.”

He remembered that after He Runqing died in his previous life, he learned that when Chen Yifei was carefree in Shanghai, he liked to grow some succulent plants.

There are many succulents, and they are all carefully cared for.

Later, to make amends, he went to her parents and got those succulents back, which he raised for the rest of his life.

Now I feel that I should prepare all these things for her at home so that I can surprise her when we move in after our wedding.

Watching Chen Yifei's lips curl up when he talks about his wife.

The village secretary said helplessly, "Alright, all young men and women have romantic feelings. I hope you can get what you want."

"With such a large area, you can do whatever you want. Six acres of land are dry grassland, but the characteristic of this place is that there are many mountains. You can run around in the surrounding mountains, and you'll be happy to raise children in the mountains."

"Anything is fine, even cattle that eat grass are okay!"

The village party secretary was just joking.

Chen Yifei had a flash of inspiration.

You can raise anything... to make money!

Yes, back in the day, farms were incredibly profitable, raising chickens, ducks, horses, cattle...

These things have made many people millionaires.

Chen Yifei immediately thought of 1983, when pork prices soared, the market was liberalized, and supply couldn't meet demand...

Now is the perfect opportunity for him to showcase his abilities.

The price surge in 1983 was exaggerated, and it's still quite high now. With the eventual separation of the collective economy, each family will eat their own food, so the demand for pork will not be small.

Now that the market economy has been liberalized, people can raise pigs themselves and bear their own profits and losses.
