Li Xingguo hurried to the brigade headquarters and heard a burst of exclamations from inside.

He squeezed in quickly, fearing that if he was too late his dream of going abroad would be shattered!

The crowd saw that it was Li's college student, "Hey, college student is here? Are you also interested in leasing the land? Are you here to give money to your uncle?"

Li Xingguo noticed the word "also", but he didn't have time to ask, so he just smiled.

The house was filled with smoke, and it seemed like there was a fire.

Li Xingguo doesn't smoke. It should be said that no one in the family smokes except the old man.

He covered his mouth and nose, bent over, and looked at the scene in the room.

There are two desks and a chair in the room.

The captain sat on a desk, holding a cigarette in his left hand, looking at the blueprint on the desk and drawing with his right hand.

Uncle Li Mantun was sitting at another desk with several thick stacks of money at his sides. Four militiamen were standing behind him, all holding Type 38 rifles in their hands!

The old man sat opposite the team leader, smoking his pipe and looking at the blueprint on the table. There were also several elders of high status in the village sitting on chairs, and more than a dozen heads of households with good conditions in the village standing in the house.

Talking to each other and smoking

It is said that you are buying land, but in fact, the land use right is contracted. The land is contracted for five years and automatically renewed upon expiration, unless you do not want to contract it. The right to use barren hills and wastelands is 30 years and automatically renewed upon expiration! It is equivalent to that as long as you pay the money, the land can be used by your family forever.

"Uncle!" Li Xingguo called out quickly.

Everyone in the room looked up.

The old man and Li Mantun both saw Li Xingguo and were not surprised at his arrival.

"Xingguo is here!" Everyone greeted politely.

Li Xingguo nodded, greeted everyone one by one, and stood next to the old man.

"Uncle Li is so lucky! Xingguo is the first college student in our village!"

"He is well-mannered, unlike us rough guys."

"If you become a high-ranking official in Xingguo, you must take care of the villagers!"

The Li family was founded before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Mr. Li fled from the Northeast! He is not a local household in the village.

Mr. Li is a righteous and generous man. Over the years, he has also gained a certain status in the village.

Li Xingguo smiled and said, "We are all from the same village. If you need any help, you are welcome!"

It's all just polite talk, no one takes it seriously. If you have no ties or friendship with me, who would want to ask for help? Why would they do it for you?

Farmers are simple, and farmers are not stupid.

Everyone greeted each other and then continued chatting.

Li Xingguo looked at the blueprint in front of the captain. Most of them were marked with red crosses, and their names were written next to them.

He asked the old man in a low voice, "Grandpa, did our family buy land?"

The old man puffed on his pipe and said, "Your family didn't buy it! Your uncle did."

Li Xingguo...is this what he meant!

The old man and Li Mantun had guessed that he would come. The family couldn't get the money, and Fenglan bought a house with the money. Only they could make a move.

"Grandpa, judging from what you said, my uncle is not from the same family as us!" Li Xingguo looked around and felt relieved when he saw that no one was paying attention to their conversation. He didn't want to be humiliated in front of these peasants.

"I live with your uncle, we are a family, but you are not!" The old man said indifferently.
