He remembered that every year his mother would take him and his brothers to the mountains to farm. Although it was a bit tiring, it was very enjoyable. If it was their own land, they would not grow vegetables, but meat!
Cheng Zhenzhu shook her head and said, "We don't want the land anymore, we want the forest." After waiting for so long, it seems that other people don't want to contract the forest land.
For her, this was the best outcome. It would prevent any strange disputes from arising later...
You Yumei, who was sitting next to her, was a little surprised and lowered her voice to the lowest point, "Sister Zhenzhu, why do you want a forest but not land? You don't really want to plant fruit trees, do you? Those old professors said that this place is not suitable for growing fruit trees. It's good enough to be able to grow some vegetables..."
"I don't plant fruit trees, I have other uses for them." Cheng Zhenzhu said as she stood up.
So, amidst the extreme confusion of everyone in the room, Cheng Zhenzhu signed a 70-year contract for the forest land.
Seventy years, for an entire forest, the rent that needed to be paid was naturally not small. It was written in black and white: 800 per year, payable annually.
If you can't give it, then the team will take it back, and the subsequent profits will have nothing to do with you, no matter what you planted before...
"Tsk tsk tsk, idiot." Xu Xia cursed inwardly, then looked around vigilantly.
They are here to hold a meeting today. Peng Aiqing is a dead man, so he shouldn't come here to care about these things, right?
If they really came, they should have slapped Cheng Zhenzhu in the face! 2000 yuan for a useless piece of rubbish. They really have long hair and short vision...
"Is the Aiqing family crazy? 2,000 yuan is not a small amount of money..." Some people saw Cheng Zhenzhu imprinting the red mud and leaving thumbprints without hesitation, and they secretly sighed at the Aiqing family's stupidity, and also felt that the Aiqing family was rich.
No, it should be said that Aiqing’s family and relatives are rich.
2,000 yuan, that's more than they could get even if their entire family put their money together. As for where Aiqing's family would get the money, that was obvious. A little from her parents, a little subsidy, and a little from a few of her relatives' parents, they could still scrape together the 2,000 yuan for the first year.
But what about the next sixty-nine years?
Cheng Zhenzhu had no idea that someone was worrying about her again. Under Uncle Dajun's approving and worried gaze, she took the simple contract paper in her hand and felt relieved.
The next step is to wait for the money to be paid, and then the forest rights certificate will be approved, and then we can start the renovations...
"Sister Zhenzhu, this is going to cost over 2,000 yuan?" You Yumei also agreed to a few plots of land, but the leases were short, so she wasn't stressed about the money.
But Sister Pearl is different. Over the years, she has seen the gaps between her fingers getting bigger and bigger, and her children are eating more and more. As for money, I am afraid... "Sister Pearl, I have some money here. If you need it, just ask me."
Cheng Zhenzhu smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you Sister Yumei. I'll go back and collect some first. If it's not enough, I'll borrow from you..."
In the eyes of the people of Sanshi Island today, Cheng Zhenzhu's family is a representative of those who only have a good life on the surface, but spend all the money they have immediately and don't keep it for tomorrow. They are empty-handed and have no money left.
Lin was recognized as the tenant, and Peng Dajun felt both happy and worried.
He wasn't worried about the Aiqing family not being able to come up with the money. The main thing was, what exactly did the Aiqing family plan to do with the forest? With all the kids in school and no help, could they possibly handle it?
******
"Mom, did you really rent the forest?" After returning home from school, several youngsters heard their little brother describing this matter to them, and immediately ran to ask their mother.
"Yeah." Cheng Zhenzhu nodded, and then showed her a few clauses in the contract.
"Mom, what do we need Dalinzi for?" Er Tiao was a little confused.
"Mom, will this be very hard for you?" San Tiao was more concerned about this issue.
"Mom, do you want to plant fruit trees? I heard from the captain grandpa that we can try planting fruit trees, such as apples, bananas or peaches..." Liu Tiao pinched his fingers and asked the names of all the fruits he wanted to eat.
I heard the captain talking on the way, but he didn’t quite understand what he was talking about!
After a few perfunctory words, I came back and realized that my mother had taken over the large forest on the mountain. The land for growing vegetables belonged to someone else, and the mountain where mushrooms grew was theirs...
"Mom, is there any money left at home?" Qi Tiao remembered that his mother had told him and his brother last time that the money in the passbook had been used to buy a house.
If that was the case, he was a little worried that his mother had no money.
After all, they ate a lot every day. Ever since his mother said that the money was used to buy a house, he was a little worried that the family would go broke, so he decided to eat less, half a bowl of rice at each meal.
As a result, he just started eating less, and his six older brothers started eating from their big bowls. He said that since his older brother was gone, he had to grow up faster...
"Mom, I want to eat apples. Let's grow apples!" Ba Tiao didn't think as much as his brother. He was just a replica of Liu Tiao. Liu Tiao loved eating apples, and Ba Tiao loved eating them too.
"Apples are delicious!" Jiujo nodded in agreement.
"Da Linzi..." Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the rows of concerned faces and said with a smile, "It won't be hard. You don't have to worry about the money. If the fruit trees can be grown, that would be great..."
So, when there’s a chance in the future, I’ll take you up the mountain.”
There was a natural hot spring there. She had tested it with the system's tools and the water quality was excellent.
She hopes to create a resort-style entertainment area in the future. People can go up the mountain to soak in hot springs and mine crystals, and down the mountain to play in the ocean. Then, she hopes to build a row of B&Bs...
In the early years, she had always dreamed of retiring soon, but she hadn't expected to develop a real estate addiction. When her money ran out, she wanted to earn more money and buy another house. After all, housing prices had only risen since 2000, so she could still invest...
"Mom, don't wait for the chance later. There will be a chance tomorrow! We are on vacation!" Er Tiao said immediately when he saw that their mother seemed to have some big surprise hidden.
Although he knew that his mother would definitely put her words into practice, San Tiao also wanted to go and take a look.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow!" Liu Tiao was a little excited.
Qi Tiao: "Mom, tomorrow is New Year's Day, we have a day off, I want to go."
Bajiao: "Mom, I'm going, I'm going!"
Kujo: "Go, go~"
"Okay, let's go and take a look tomorrow." Cheng Zhenzhu nodded. The next day, after having Tiao Tiao apply seaweed water, she led them up the mountain.
Four and five were guarding the house, and Fatty Black followed.
"Si Tiao, Wu Tiao, we will be back soon~" Jiu Tiao was afraid that Si Tiao and Wu Tiao would feel sad without them, so he specially said hello again.
Four or five of them lay on the ground, their eyebrows raised with joy. They wished they were at home so they wouldn't have to chase rabbits...
"Chirp, chirp~" Fei Hei was very happy when he climbed up the mountain. He flapped his wings to play on this tree, and then flapped to that tree to take a look.
"Mom, take a break." Halfway up the mountain, Jiu Tiao was already out of breath, but he didn't want to be "carried" by his brothers because he had been laughed at before...
