Chapter 258: My Wife Is Making Me Take the Blame
Yangmei also knew a little about the greenhouse planted by Shang Ruoting. Apart from anything else, anything that could grow fresh vegetables in winter was definitely a good thing.
However, building a greenhouse requires a lot of money. Although her family's income this year is a little higher than in previous years, she still feels a little hesitant to spend all of it to build a greenhouse.
She also thought that Shang Ruoting had helped her family so much this year. If she asked for help again without any limit, Yangmei would feel that she was going too far.
What's more, since Ruoting built a greenhouse at home, I followed suit, which is also a disguised way of stealing business.
After careful consideration, she finally said, "Let's not build a greenhouse at home for the time being!"
"I just got some land, so I'll plant it for a year and see what happens."
This time, Yang Tao surprisingly thought the same thing as Yang Mei. Sister Ruoting had already helped their family enough, and now their lives were much better. If they wanted to develop better in the future, they had to rely on their own efforts.
Therefore, when Yang Mei expressed her opinion, she did not say anything, which was also a kind of tacit agreement.
Shang Ruoting certainly understood the thoughts of the Yang sisters. This kind of thing cannot be forced, and it should be done according to their own ideas.
"That's fine too. Tan Chen happens to have an acquaintance in the city who can get some high-yield corn seeds. We can ask him to help us buy some when the time comes."
Although the Yang family does not plan to build a greenhouse with him for the time being, as a friend, he can give her some high-yield corn seeds.
Tan Chen knew that his wife was asking him to take the blame, so he naturally chimed in: "That's no problem. I'll go to the city in a couple of days to find someone to buy seeds."
Hearing about high-yield corn seeds, the Yang sisters no longer refused. They would spend money to buy them from Sister Ruoting. This way, they would feel much less pressured.
After discussing the planting matters temporarily, they walked towards the village together.
At this time, most of the people in the village had signed. The few families that remained had few people in their families and were still hesitating.
When passing by the production team's gate, I happened to see Deputy Captain Wang walking out with his head down.
Based on Shang Ruoting's understanding of Deputy Captain Wang, when he walked with his head down, he was mostly thinking about things.
She and Tan Chen stepped forward to block his way and asked, "Deputy Captain Wang, are you done with the team?"
When Deputy Captain Wang saw that the people coming were Tan Chen and his wife, he stopped and looked bitter and resentful.
"Oh...don't mention it. I just received a notice from my superiors asking everyone in the team to contract some wasteland."
Shang Ruoting was overjoyed when she heard the news. She had always been curious: since the property was divided, why were the wastelands not distributed?
If wasteland could also be contracted to individuals, she would be the first person to reclaim wasteland in Sihe Village.
Seeing the worried face of Vice Captain Wang, Shang Ruoting felt even more puzzled. Why did such a good thing make him so worried?
"Deputy Captain Wang, contracting wasteland is a good idea. But judging from your expression, it seems like this is a difficult task."
Deputy Captain Wang treated Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen as his own people, so when he saw her asking this, he did not hide anything.
"Although there isn't much wasteland in our village, there are still several dozen acres, mostly at the foot of the mountain."
"During the most difficult times, we considered reclaiming those lands. But you know the people in Sihe Village are all lazy and only care about having enough to eat. Who would be willing to put in the effort?"
"Now that the land has been distributed to each household, there's no need to even think about it. Families with larger populations have received more good land, and they're very satisfied now. They don't even care about the wasteland. What's more, the more land they contract, the more grain they have to pay. They won't do such a thankless job."
After listening to Deputy Captain Wang's explanation, Shang Ruoting understood the general idea.
After all, these people have participated in collective labor for more than ten years and have long forgotten the taste of struggle. How could they be willing to put in extra effort to reclaim wasteland?
She has no right to interfere if others don't want to, but Shang Ruoting must participate in such a good thing.
"Deputy Captain Wang, are there any specific instructions for contracting wasteland?"
Deputy Captain Wang didn't expect that Shang Ruoting would be interested in this. It seemed as if he had found the last straw to complete the task assigned by his superiors.
"Ruoting, are you planning to contract some wasteland?" Deputy Captain Wang still couldn't believe it. Not to mention others, even he himself was very opposed to the idea of ​​contracting wasteland.
Shang Ruoting didn't answer immediately, but instead asked, "Deputy Captain Wang, I'd like to know the specific process of contracting wasteland."
Seeing that Sister Ruoting was interested in contracting wasteland, Yang Tao was also thinking about the pros and cons in her mind. At the same time, she also saw that her eldest sister had been wanting to step forward to dissuade Shang Ruoting, but finally she endured it.
