Chapter 211 The Advanced Old Lady
Now that there have been major changes in policy, the villagers are feeling a little uneasy.
Even though they had been notified and had their lands divided and could go home, no one wanted to leave. From now on, the land would be theirs. Some were happy, others felt lost.
When the villagers saw Lu Xiang and her family of three, they quickly stopped her and asked, "Your family's fields are being cultivated by your mother-in-law. What are you going to do?"
Lu Xiang said, "I might go to the county to open a store." She just went to resign to the village chief and the women's director, and the two did not dissuade her.
After hearing this, everyone understood that Lu Xiang was a capable person, but she was not allowed to move around and could only stay in the village.
Now that the land has been distributed to each household and everyone is responsible for their own profits and losses, she heard that they can also do some small business, so she has other plans.
It just so happened that the person who rented Lu Xiang's storefront in the county was no longer renting it, so Lu Xiang planned to clean it up and turn it into a small shop.
Aunt Hong sighed and wanted Lu Xiang to give her some advice: "So, tell me, should I farm or contract a greenhouse?"
The largest greenhouse in the village has been dismantled. From now on, anyone who wants a greenhouse will have to build one themselves.
It is easy to build a greenhouse, but it is a big deal to decide what to plant.
If everyone rushes to plant, even if the yield is high, you won't make any money. But there's no way around it. Can you still plant it yourself and stop others from planting?
Lu Xiang said to Aunt Hong, "Why don't you get some green leafy vegetables and I'll buy them from you when I do business."
Aunt Hong's family are all capable. I heard that her husband, Fu Qinhui, is also a good vegetable grower and is especially good at serving side dishes.
After Lu Xiang finished speaking, Aunt Hong immediately agreed: "Okay, if you want to use it, I will plant it for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, people around her looked at her with envy. She hadn't even planted the vegetables yet, but she had already found a buyer.
The fat aunt next to him quickly said, "What else do you need? Let's see what else I can grow."
Lu Xiang said, "I'm still short of mushrooms." Their village had grown mushrooms before, but they had no experience the first time and the results were average, so they didn't think much about it afterwards.
When Aunt Pang heard that Lu Xiang wanted mushrooms, she immediately said yes: "Just wait, I will definitely get the mushrooms for you!" Isn't this a different approach?
As soon as Lu Xiang finished speaking, the others gathered around her and kept asking her, "What should I plant?"
"What about me?"
Lu Xiang said: "It depends on you. As for ordinary vegetables, there will still be customers in the future." Then she analyzed it in detail for everyone.
After all, their village has accumulated so many customers. Now they are no longer working with a large collective, but simply transferring the business from the village to individuals. These are all resources, which is better than others starting from scratch.
The people around her were immediately happy when she said this: "As soon as Lu Xiang said that, I immediately understood!"
Everyone is coveting greenhouses and plans to build greenhouses to grow vegetables, fruits and melons while farming.
This combination has both vegetables and grains, covering all four corners.
We just had an auction, and all the farm tools were sold. The tractor has been given to the government. If you need a vehicle in the future, you can just rent one from the village. Just pay a small fee, as long as it covers the fuel. This way, it's more convenient for everyone.
Lu Xiang's parents took back the remaining 30% of the pigpen's share. She offered the highest price, fifteen hundred yuan.
If you work hard, you can earn it in a year.
Someone in the village also asked, "Can we start raising chickens?"
Ever since the villagers contracted a greenhouse and started raising pigs at their own expense, everyone has been thinking about it every day and their minds have become active.
When I saw the pigs, I immediately drew inferences and thought of raising chickens.
The village chief said, "I can ask for you. It shouldn't be a big problem!" After hearing what the village chief said, the others were also tempted. Every family has raised chickens.
Some people also wanted to raise pigs, but were warned off by others: "How are you going to sell the pigs? Lu Xiang's parents have the pig farm behind them. Let's not do this. If such a large animal turns out not to be good, it would be a waste of money!"
Once this was said, everyone thought it made sense and gradually let it go.
Lu Xiang took Fu Qinhui and Xi Nian home together.
By noon, Xiao Xinian was also drowsy and lying in his father's arms. Fu Qinhui held him steadily. When he returned home, he put Xiao Xinian on the bed and only left when he saw that the child was asleep.
Fu Qinhui and Lu Xiang returned to the room and said to Lu Xiang, "Do you want to go to the county?" There were many people around just now, and he was afraid it would be inconvenient to ask.
There is no one suitable for the couple to talk to now.
Lu Xiang nodded: "Yeah." Fu Qinhui has already established a firm foothold in the county and should have moved there long ago.
It had been inconvenient before, and to avoid separation, no one had mentioned the matter. Now that Lu Xiang had resigned as a village official, it was just the right time for her to move to the county and live with Fu Qinhui.
Fu Qinhui was very happy to get his wife's affirmative answer: "Okay, we will live in the county from now on."
He'd been attending meetings outside and seen the world, and the rapid changes outside had a strong impact on him. He still needed to go to a big city. The changes were too fast.
Lu Xiang: "But how do I tell our mom?" Lu Xiang was mainly worried about her mother-in-law.
Fu Qinhui gently put his arm around Lu Xiang's waist and said, "I'll tell Mom tonight."
…
In the evening, the three of them went to the Fu family's house for dinner. Everyone in the yard talked about the new land that the Fu family had allocated.
Seeing Fu Qinhui and his family coming, Xiao Cailian handed some candy to Xi Nian with a smile on her face: "You're back, just in time!"
The Fu family had a large population and was allocated a large amount of land. They were lucky when they drew lots and were allocated the best land in the village.
The whole family was so happy. They never got tired of looking at their own fields. If they hadn't gone home to cook after dark, they would still be working in the fields.
Xiao Cailian said, "Do you see our land? It's the best land within a ten-mile radius!"
Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "Hey, look how happy our mother is. She has been happy all afternoon."
Seeing that no one at home had cooked yet, Lu Xiang volunteered to make pork stewed with cabbage.
As soon as the family heard that Lu Xiang was going to cook, the children gathered around. Xiao Cailian smiled and said, "Come and see, they are all greedy cats."
Everyone knows that Lu Xiang’s cooking is delicious. I haven’t eaten it in a long time! When I saw her cooking, I was so happy that it was almost Chinese New Year.
Seeing this, the sisters-in-law hurried to steam the rice. Every time Lu Xiang cooked, she would steam twice as much rice as usual. We were used to it! Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough to eat.
The fragrance came out after a while.
Lu Xiang cooks very quickly and brings the food to the table after she is done.
The Fu family was large, with one table for the adults and another for the children. There were two large pots of pork stewed with cabbage. As soon as the adults said to eat, everyone rushed to grab some.
Even the youngest, Xinian, ate his meals with big mouthfuls and never caused the adults to worry about him.
After finishing the meal, Fu Qinhui wanted to talk to the old lady about moving to the county, but before he could open his mouth, Xiao Cailian said first: "Old Four, don't leave yet, I have something to tell you later!"
Finally, Xiao Cailian called all the adults into the house in a mysterious manner.
Xiao Cailian said, "In the past, the village lived in a collective. Everyone did it that way, so it was fine. But now it's different. I want to split up. What do you think?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
