"Your family has seized the land that fell in the east. How do you exchange it?"
The visitor asked hesitantly.
Meng Qidi glanced at the registration book that Ling Hanfang left for her, "That six mu of land over there is good farmland. Uncle, how do you plan to exchange it?"
The uncle pursed his lips and made up his mind, "Then I will trade with you, one acre and five mu for six mu of your land."
Meng Qidi frowned slightly, "Okay, but I'll also give you the vegetable plot at the entrance of the village."
The uncle was slightly stunned. He did not expect Ling Xiao's wife to give more. He nodded almost subconsciously, "Okay, okay, thank you, thank you..."
Then his face was filled with joy. He knew that he would not suffer any loss. He could tell at a glance that his wife Ling Xiao was not someone who would take advantage of others. He had made the right bet.
Everyone knows that one acre of fertile land in the east is worth two acres of sandy land in the west of the village. Meng Qidi also gave him an extra vegetable plot, so he made a profit.
Meng Qidi was so straightforward that the people who had changed land in front of her regretted it and hurried over, "Ling Xiao's family, I can do it too..."
Before Meng Qidi could say anything, several villagers who were waiting glared at him, "If you want to change places, go to the back and queue up. Don't you know not to miss it if you pass by? Ling Xiao's wife said it's first come first served. If you miss it, you won't get it again."
"That's right. You've already refused. If you want to come again, then you have to queue up."
The further back you go, the worse the land will be. Who wants to be the last one to take the turn?
It was not until lunch time that Meng Qidi had finished replacing all the vegetable plots.
Ling Hanfang glanced at the neat handwriting and couldn't help but sigh, "It's better to be well-educated. We village cadres need people like you who read books, otherwise you won't be able to read a single word."
"Uncle, don't belittle yourself like this. A junior high school graduate is still a scholar."
What Meng Qidi said was not a bad thing. Nowadays, graduating from junior high school is really considered to have a diploma. You have to know that there are still many people who cannot go to school.
"You're the only one who talks sweetly. Okay, I'll take them to get familiar with the vegetable plot this afternoon, and then you can all put your handprints together. Xiaoqi, let's make a promise in advance that we won't regret it after we change the plot."
The few acres of land they have are too far away from the sandy land here. Even if they can exchange two acres of sandy land for one acre of good land, it would be a good deal.
Alas, only Ling Xiao and his friends allowed this girl to make trouble.
"Don't worry, uncle. I will never regret it." Meng Qidi said with a smile.
In fact, as long as the land is large, it doesn’t matter whether it is sandy or not, because she has the Yuquan water.
Ling Hanfang sighed and went to take care of her.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Ling Hanfang came back and told her directly that everything was basically ready and they could start farming tomorrow.
How wide is the sand?
The Ling family and Mr. Qiu Sanye, a total of six people, exchanged more than four acres of fertile land for almost ten acres of sandy land.
From the fork in the road in the west of the village to the gate of the Ling family, an entire stretch of sand was almost entirely in Meng Qidi's hands.
Even on the ninth day of the first lunar month when he just arrived at the Qiu family, Ling Hanfang allocated the useless wasteland behind the sand to their family.
"So many, are they all from our family?" Ling Cheng said excitedly while standing at the intersection.
She didn't know that this land wasn't good, but it was really big...
"Yeah." Meng Qidi nodded slightly and carried the two children onto the front and rear seats of the bicycle.
She would like to merge all these wastelands and sandy lands into one piece of land.
However, before plowing the land, the weeds on the wasteland are pulled out first, dried and then burned. The ash can serve as fertilizer for the land.
So, today, she had to send both children to school. Ling Tian's cousin taught at a primary school in Songyuan Town, so she just happened to send Chujiu there to experience going to school.
"Sister, can I not go? Chujiu can help with the work and won't cause any trouble."
When we arrived at the school gate and got off the car, Chujiu was a little reluctant to go to school.
Before Meng Qidi could speak, Ling Cheng pulled him aside and said, "You are my uncle, how can you not study? You have to set a good example for me. Besides, who says studying can't help your sister? If we study hard, we can fly airplanes and cannons and come back to plow the fields for aunt in the future. That would be the best."
Meng Qidi twitched the corner of her mouth. There was no need for that. Not only could she not fit the planes and cannons in such a small space, but did they want to raze her place to the ground?
Perhaps something in Ling Cheng's words was very convincing, and Xiao Chujiu was actually thinking about it.
"Xiao Qi." When Ling Tian's cousin Zheng An'an saw Meng Qidi, she hurried over and looked at the little guy next to her, "Is it him?"
"Well, my brother, he might have an accent when he speaks." Meng Qidi parked the car and waved at the two of them, motioning them to come over.
"Doesn't your father... only have two daughters?" Zheng Anan lowered her voice suspiciously. She and her were high school classmates, and she didn't remember that she had such a young brother...
Meng Qidi said, "This is my biological father's younger brother."
Zheng Anan was stunned, and it took her a long time to react, "Aren't you and Meng Yuzhen related?"
Meng Qidi nodded, "Not with their family, my biological father came to find me."
She didn't say that her father was from Beijing, nor did she say that Chujiu was not her biological brother. Anyway, they were all her relatives.
"After all the hard work comes happiness." Zheng Anan understood and winked at her, "Don't worry, leave the child to me. But, how about you let him adapt to school for a few days? He can be sent to school in the second half of the year."
Meng Qidi glanced at Chujiu and asked, "Is it okay at just four years old?"
Zheng Anan smiled and said, "It's okay, and he looks well behaved. Leave him there for a few days, and I'll take care of him for you."
"Okay, thank you then. I'll pay for your tuition for the next few days."
"What tuition fee is required? However, I heard that we college students are returning to our hometown to start a business? Remember to promote me when you make a fortune." Zheng Anan joked.
Her uncle and aunt have been very busy lately. It was actually her old classmate who suggested growing mushrooms. Now her uncle has started it as a side business and is even planning to partner with others to make and sell peanut butter. This is going to be a big deal.
It’s a pity that her mother didn’t let her quit her job and start her own business, otherwise she would have also wanted to start her own business.
Meng Qidi smiled helplessly, "Why don't you come home with me to farm? Class is about to start."
After being reminded by her old classmate, Zheng Anan quickly pulled the two children and said, "I won't talk to you anymore. Go back quickly. Since you don't have time to take care of them, let them have lunch with me at noon, and let Ling Tian take them back in the afternoon."
"Well, I'll treat you to dinner when I'm done."
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the three of them entered the campus, and Meng Qidi rode her bicycle back.
There was a lot to do today. She had to build dams around this large piece of sand and also build a drainage ditch...
We also need to pull out all the weeds in the wasteland so that they can be burned under the scorching sun.
Finally, I have to measure and determine how much film paper is needed, and call the teacher in the evening to order the film, so that I can bring it back when Ling Xiao comes back.
There were so many things to do, she sighed, asked Xiao Meng to go to school to look after the two children, and she had to go to work.
Having been sold once, she is now very cautious, fearing that something might happen.
