Chapter 125



Zhao Zhengde's move could almost be considered a slap in the face. Giving Qin Suyun a sweet date, and producing more than 2,000 kilograms of grain per mu, was more like drawing a pie in the sky.

In this strange seasonal weather, let alone producing more than 2,000 kilograms of grain per mu, even producing 1,000 kilograms per mu would be a miracle.

But Zhao Zhengde's words calmed the originally restless crowd down a lot.

Some of these people believed Zhao Zhengde's claim of 2,000 kilograms of grain. Others, while not convinced, felt that even if there wasn't 2,000, a thousand kilograms of grain per acre would still be enough to cover the 100-plus kilograms of grain that had to be handed over to the patrol team over the course of the year.

But more people still think that since the other party said such a thing, it is obvious that they intend to divide the village land to them for cultivation. If they get someone else's land, shouldn't they give them some grain?

When they worked in the city, they had to pay taxes to the government every month.

Everyone present had different thoughts.

But after hearing what Zhao Zhengde said, they stopped making a fuss. They came to this countryside just to get the land and cultivate it themselves, just as the group of people from the province had said before. Now that the other party planned to give it to them, they didn't have much to say.

Seeing that no one was saying anything more, Zhao Zhengde waved his hand and said to Accountant Qian, "Xiao Qian, take them to the threshing ground. The threshing ground is the only high and flat area in our area that can accommodate so many tents."

There have been several storms in succession these days, and with the gradually rising temperature, the originally thick white snow has all melted into water. The snow water mixed with rain water flows down from high places, making the unrepaired roads in their village like a mixture of mud. Every step you take is filled with mud, let alone setting up tents or living there.

Now, in the entire village, only the ground near the threshing ground is paved with cement. Although some of the ground collapsed during the earthquake, the terrain is high and there are not many collapsed areas, making it just suitable for setting up tents for these outsiders.

The arrangements here make no sense to everyone.

After they got off the bus with their luggage, the road they passed was mostly muddy.

"Today you will temporarily go to the threshing ground to set up tents and rest there. As for how much land will be divided, we will have to wait for the meeting in our village to discuss it before making a decision. A few of you will come with me now. Since the land division is related to you, you have to participate." Zhao Zhende pointed to three people in the crowd.

One is Sun Guangsheng, the man in a family of four who has the most luggage and looks the most harmonious in the crowd. The other is an old man who looks relatively energetic in a family of five, and the strongest and tallest young man among the 150 people.

These three people obviously have some status among these 150 people. It’s not that other people necessarily believe in them, but these three people all have families with them, and they look obviously in better condition than others, which unconsciously improves the status of these three families among the crowd.

Zhao Zhengde naturally chose one of these three and was obviously the one who made the decision.

Especially the tallest and strongest young man. His height of more than 1.9 meters and well-built arm muscles are enough to scare people just by standing there. Ordinary people don't dare to cause trouble to this young man.

Even the citizens of Yunhai City who had followed the young man and his family out of the car subconsciously moved a little further to the side.

It is obvious at a glance that this kind of person will definitely be able to join the patrol team, and may even become the leader of the patrol team in their village. In this case, it is normal to find the other party in advance to discuss.

The need to redivide the land in the village has disrupted the peace that had finally been stabilized in the village.

All the villagers talked about the issue of land division, and everyone wanted to ask how the land should be divided.

However, neither Zhao Xingguo nor Uncle Jiu and the others planned to call a meeting with other people, nor did they plan to discuss this matter in front of everyone.

After all, no matter how we discuss or negotiate, I'm afraid no one is willing to give the land that they have already obtained back to others.

It would be better to wait until they have settled the matter before forcing them to marry.

Although this distribution method may offend some people, there is really no other way around it.

Fortunately, many people had met Director Xu and his team before and knew how powerful they were. Even if they had their own reasons, they would definitely agree to the assignment in the end.

The people in the village were in a panic because of the need to distribute land.

Qin Suyun didn't have as many thoughts as others. She knew in her dream that the land would be redistributed, but she didn't expect that the land division would come so early.

However, even something as big as an earthquake happened half a year earlier than in the dream.

The land division had been brought forward, so there wasn't much to say. However, because many scenes in the dream were jumpy, even she didn't know how the villagers had redivided the land in the first place.

Now it seems she knows...

"It's no wonder that the village chief and others had to agree to the redivision of land with a gun pointed at their noses. But our family will definitely not be included in the land division of Lixi Village this time." Qin Suyun thought to herself as she cleaned the pigpen in her backyard and looked at the round, white and tender piglets in her pigpen.

After all, she had already moved her household registration out of the village, and she was no longer even in Lixi Village. It was a pity to lose the familiar land that my grandmother had been taking care of for the past few decades.

After more than three months of feeding, these little piglets raised in my own pigpen are obviously much stronger than when I first bought them home, and their overall body size has also increased by several times.

Especially the four large white piglets that Qin Suyun had bought earlier. These four piglets had already grown from their original weight of about 20 kilograms to over 100 kilograms. The small fragrant pigs had also grown to about 20 to 30 kilograms. It looked like they would be ready to be slaughtered and eaten after a while.

Xiaowu, the greediest kid in the family, drooled several times when he looked at these pigs. When he had nothing to do, he liked to come to the backyard and stare at the little pigs in the family. His green eyes scared the little pigs so much that they kept hiding behind him.

There was no other way. These small fragrant pigs and large white pigs raised at home clearly tasted better than the wild boars we had hunted in the mountains before. Wild boar meat was rough, tough, and had a strong flavor. Other dogs might not care about that, but Xiaowu at home was obviously a different kind of dog who pursued taste, so naturally he was more concerned about these raised at home.

Fortunately, there was a fence between the two sides, and time passed.

After these little pigs found out that Xiaowu didn't hurt them, they pretended nothing happened and continued to eat their pig food quietly.

Since Qin Suyun bought these pigs, they haven't been fed any feed. Their daily diet consists of vegetable leaves, sweet potato vines, and fine rice bran. Because their feed includes old vegetable leaves and cobs from the third floor, the pigs are very happy eating it. They're gaining weight quickly, but they haven't seen the sudden growth seen with Big Black Bean and his companions.

I don't know if this is because they are small to begin with, or because they haven't changed much.

However, the chickens and ducks that we originally bought to eat at home seem to have become a little bigger than when we bought them, but the change is not obvious.

It's like a chicken that originally weighed seven or eight kilograms and grew to ten kilograms, but this is all within the normal range, so it doesn't look noticeable, just like an ordinary chicken or duck that has grown up after being fed.

Looking at the hens hatching eggs and the piglets happily eating their pig food, Qin Suyun packed up and prepared to go out to do other work. No matter how the village's land was divided this time, there would definitely be a result in the end. Instead of worrying about these things, she should just focus on the work at hand.

After all, this matter was not something she could control alone.

The temperature has been high and the rain has been heavy in the past two days, and the weeds in the fields have been growing rapidly. Qin Suyun picked up a hoe and planned to take a walk around the fields.

However, before she reached her own field, Qin Suyun was stopped by Aunt Liu on the way. Aunt Liu was one of the two people who had bought chicks from her house before.

Aunt Liu wore a bamboo hat, held a sickle in her hand, and had wet firewood hanging on her shoulders. It was obvious that she had come back from the mountains to chop wood.

When Aunt Liu saw Qin Suyun holding a hoe, she immediately smiled and said, "Sister Qin, are you going out to the fields?"

"Well, I'm planning to go for a walk in the fields. Aunt Liu, you just came back from chopping firewood in the mountains, right? You'd better go home quickly with such a heavy load of firewood on your shoulders. I see from the weather that it might rain again in a while." Qin Suyun also nodded and smiled.

These days, the rain has been falling endlessly. There are very few sunny days in the sky, and most of the time it is overcast. I feel as if I have become heavy because of this air, cold and damp.

She had to rush to the greenhouse early and finish the work as soon as possible.

However, before Qin Suyun could leave, someone grabbed her arm.
