Chapter 329: Reclamation of the Mountain
Fortunately, we have a TV at home and Qin Junshan has a lot of books. We all know that she likes to read and learn some advanced knowledge.
So no one suspected her.
After listening to this, Li Yong nodded frequently: "I just had this idea before, but after Yuanyuan finished speaking, I have made up my mind. I will go and consult about this mountain package when they get to work."
"Think carefully, after you take over the mountain, you still have to open up the mountain. It's not an easy job," Li Xu reminded.
The soil on the mountain is fertile, but hard.
If you want to farm, you have to open up the mountains.
"Xiao Min is about to give birth. Will you be able to spare some time then?" Li Xu said again.
Speaking of Qin Xiaomin, Li Yong's face became a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaomin quickly expressed her opinion: "Sister, I'm fine! I support any decision Li Yong makes!"
"It's only the second year of junior high school anyway, so you should think about it carefully. No matter what, your brother-in-law and I will definitely support you." Li Xu said in a low voice.
Li Yong nodded: "Okay, let's discuss this matter again."
We chatted until five o'clock in the afternoon and it was getting dark.
Zhang Kun discussed with Li Xu and went back to her husband’s house.
After staying at Zhang's house until the fifth day of the New Year, Li Xu and Zhang Kun took the children back to the city.
The business should open on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
They went back on the morning of the fifth day and arrived home at ten o'clock.
The couple discussed it and went to Qinjun Mountain.
They picked some fresh vegetables from Zhang Jun's shed and bought some gifts.
Five people went over with bags of various sizes.
This year, Cheng Shuqin and Qin Haowen are also here.
As soon as Ji Yuanyuan entered the room, Cheng Shuqin came over in amazement: "Oh, my daughter-in-law has grown so tall?"
She stood beside Ji Yuanyuan and looked at her with a smile.
Ji Yuanyuan and her two brothers said almost in unison: "Happy New Year, Grandpa Qin, Happy New Year, Uncle Qin, Happy New Year, Aunt Cheng!"
The three people who were called gave red envelopes happily.
Qin Mucheng heard the sound and came down from the stairs.
When he saw Ji Yuanyuan, his face lit up with smiles.
However, I still remember to shout to people: "Happy New Year, uncle and aunt!"
Li Xu also quickly took out a red envelope from his arms and handed it to Qin Mucheng.
They have three children, while the Qin family only has one.
So Li Xu specially packed the red envelopes thickly, not wanting the Qin family to suffer any loss.
So, when Qin Mucheng answered the call, he was a little hesitant.
He looked at Qin Haowen and Cheng Shuqin.
Cheng Shuqin knew Li Xu's temper, so she nodded to Qin Mucheng.
Qin Mucheng accepted the red envelope and thanked Zhang Kun and Li Xu respectfully: "Thank you, uncle and aunt!"
The two of them sat down, and Qin Mucheng couldn't wait to bring snacks and fruits to Ji Yuanyuan: "What do you want to eat? I'll dig it for you!"
Cheng Shuqin looked at Ji Yuanyuan with satisfaction: "My daughter-in-law is getting more and more beautiful!"
Hearing this, Ji Yuanyuan just smiled and didn't respond.
The adults gathered together chatting, and the children were whispering together.
As they chatted, Li Xu brought up Li Yong's idea of taking over the mountain.
Qin Haowen listened and said with appreciation: "Xiaoyong, this is a good idea. There are many farmhouses in B City, and their business is pretty good. S City will also flourish sooner or later."
Qin Junshan said, "You have to help this kid Li Yong. He still has a lot of debts. If you have any connections in the matter of Baoshan, please help him!"
Qin Haowen smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, do I need your advice on this matter? If Li Yong needs me, I will definitely help!"
Li Xu said politely, "Let him try it out on his own first. The back hill has been deserted for so long. Now that it can generate some revenue, it should be easy for the higher-ups to handle it."
Qin Haowen nodded: "Tell Li Yong to call me if he has any problems, and I will take care of it for him."
"Okay, I'll tell Li Yong, thank you so much."
Cheng Shuqin waved her hand: "That's enough, we are all family, why are you talking to us in different ways?"
…
Li Yong's family quickly decided to contract the back mountain.
Whether it was Liu Guihua, Li Zhiming, Li Lei, or even Meng Xiaoning, they all supported Li Yong's idea.
He did what he said. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when all departments returned to work, Li Yong started to take care of the matters related to the contract for the back mountain.
Just as Li Xu expected, things were quickly arranged without the Qin family's help at all.
The contract is for thirty years, and the annual rent for one acre of land is only a few dozen yuan.
It is much more cost-effective than renting other people’s land in the village.
The scale of the back mountain is not very large, the entire mountain is only more than 800 acres, so Li Yong naturally cannot use so much.
He only contracted half of the sloped land, which was more than 100 acres.
All in all, the annual rent is only five thousand yuan.
On the day of signing the contract, Li Yong paid the rent of 5,000 yuan for that year.
The more than one hundred acres of land on the mountain became the Li family's.
After the contract came into effect, Li Yong began to hire people to open up the mountain.
We start from the top of the mountain, and after clearing an acre of land, we build a greenhouse and grow vegetables.
In the blink of an eye, it is the end of May in the Gregorian calendar.
Qin Xiaomin's due date is this month, so Qin Zhiye approved her leave and she will not go to work from mid-May.
She stayed at her parents' home waiting for the birth of her baby.
Mainly because of my husband’s family, they really can’t help.
Except for Meng Xiaoning, everyone in the family was busy reclaiming the land.
Meng Xiaoning is my sister-in-law and she has a child. We can't ask her to serve me, right?
So, even though she knew her parents would be unhappy, Qin Xiaomin still insisted on returning to her parents' home.
Fortunately, Li Yong is considerate.
After finishing work during the day, he would ride his bike to her house to be with her in the evening.
Qin Xiaomin felt a little distressed and thought about asking Li Yong to get a driver's license, and then letting him drive her car in the future. This would be much more convenient.
After all, Qin Xiaomin thought that after she gave birth, there would be no one to take care of the child for her, so she had to leave the child with her parents and let her mother take care of him.
Niu Ailan was not happy: "I don't want to watch! You can order me around, why don't you order your mother-in-law around?"
"My mother-in-law is old, and she hasn't asked my sister-in-law to look after the child. If I let her do so, I'm afraid my sister-in-law will be unhappy." Qin Xiaomin smiled.
Niu Ailan rolled her eyes: "You, you think about this, think about that, but you don't think about me!"
Qin Xiaomin came forward and said, "Oh, the most important thing is that you are well-educated and careful. I feel relieved to leave the child to her biological mother."
What Qin Xiaomin said was not false.
No matter how good a mother-in-law is, she is still just a mother-in-law. How can she be as caring as a biological mother?
Niu Ailan still refused: "No, if the child takes your last name Qin, I can still consider it!"
"Mom, you don't have no son, why do you want my child to have the last name..."
Qin Xiaomin hadn't finished her words when she looked down at her body in a daze.
A warm stream was dripping down her legs.
There was already a small puddle of water on the ground, shining brightly.
Guess whether Li Nian is a man or a woman~
