Chapter 45: Dividing the Land and Drawing Lots 2
"Be quiet, everyone."
Zhao Zhenyu raised his head and pressed down, and the huge yard suddenly fell silent.
He opened the booklet and said in a clear and melodious voice, "Zhao Yurong."
"arrive!"
Behind the crowd, a dark-skinned middle-aged man raised one hand and squeezed forward while answering.
"Go ahead."
Zhao Zhenyu warned: "You can only take one."
Zhao Yurong rubbed his hands nervously, reached into the wooden box, hesitated for a long time, and took out a paper ball the size of his finger.
The whole village was watching.
He opened it carefully, with a look of ecstasy on his face: "5 mu of soil from the neighboring village, 8 mu of mountain for one person."
Loamy soil is fertile land.
It is also close to the village, making it convenient for farm work.
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of envy and jealousy.
"This son of a bitch is so lucky."
"Yeah~"
“May our ancestors bless you!”
“…”
Qian Cuihua murmured: "It would be great if I could get 5 mu of soil, even if it's not near the village."
Lin Su'e couldn't help but sigh.
This kid Zhao Yurong is really lucky.
There is not much fertile land in the village, especially in the neighboring village.
Shit luck is coming.
Speaking of this, there are not as many means to improve soil quality as in later generations, and the fertility and barrenness of the land in the village vary greatly.
There are many wind-blown sandy lands, saline-alkali lands, and potholes with poor soil quality...
Zhao Zhenyu interrupted the ecstatic Zhao Yurong and said, "Go down first after you're done."
"Next, Zhao Zhenxing."
Zhao Zhenxing is a 60-year-old man. He is still strong and his hair is still black.
“Here I come.”
He moved quickly and went in and out and took out a ball of paper.
Open.
His expression was neither good nor bad: "3 mu of land with potholes near the mountain, 3 mu of land near the river, and 80% of the land per person."
"That's fine too."
"Yes, there are still three acres of soil. The potholes are not in a good location, but we can still grow something."
"Yeah~ It would be bad luck if you draw a sandy land or a saline land."
Worth mentioning.
Because the quality of the sandy land, saline-alkali land, potholed land... is poor, the village adopts a discount method, discounting one and a half or two acres of land with poor soil for one acre of land with good soil.
This ensures fairness to a certain extent.
The winning number is determined by drawing lots by yourself, and the success or failure depends on luck, so the farmers have no say in the matter.
“…”
After calling dozens of people, it was finally Lin Su'e's turn.
She stepped forward and picked it up casually.
I opened it and thought to myself, "Sure enough, it's exactly the same as in my last life."
Accountant Zhao Zhenbang said, "Aunt San, how is your smoking? I'll record it."
"Oh, okay."
Lin Su'e read out slowly: "4 mu of soil near the mountain, 2 mu of saline and alkaline land near the river, 8 mu of mountain land per person."
Average luck.
The mountains are divided according to the population, and the collective land of the entire village is calculated based on the total area and distributed equally to each person.
Finish smoking.
Qian Cuihua hurriedly congratulated him: "Aunt San, you are lucky. Congratulations."
Lin Su'e smiled: "It's okay."
At this time.
Zhao Zhenyu called out the name: "Zhao Zhenshan."
Qian Cuihua perked up and hurried over: "It's my turn."
She has average luck.
We were allocated 2 mu of land near the village and 6 mu of sandy land near the village.
Come back dejected.
"Alas~"
Lin Su'e was luckier than her, so it was difficult for her to say anything to comfort her, as it would seem like she was showing off.
Fortunately.
Qian Cuihua was very open-minded and quickly cheered up: "Forget it, think about it from another angle, they are all on the edge of the village, and they will be there in two steps in the future."
"Anyway, my family doesn't rely on that little bit of land to make a living."
Lin Su'e secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qian Cuihua: "Go out first."
Lin Su'e nodded.
There were a lot of people surrounding the village branch.
As soon as the two went out, they were surrounded by their families.
Zhao Zhenren asked nervously, "Mom, how is it?"
Zhao Zhenyi asked: "How many acres of land did you get?"
Zhao Fenglan covered her chest nervously.
The others watched eagerly.
Lin Su'e smiled brightly: "Thanks to your father's blessing, we won 4 mu of loamy land and 2 mu of saline-alkali land."
Zhao Zhenren and Zhao Zhenyi were surprised and happy.
"real?"
Zhao Fenglan took a deep breath and said, "Four mu of land, I'm really lucky~"
The three little guys didn’t quite understand, but they were very supportive.
Zhao Yulan: “Wow!”
Zhao Zhenxin: “Great!”
Zhao Zhenli: "Mom, you are so awesome."
Lin Su'e was originally very calm, but she became excited when she heard the children's excitement.
"Wow, Grandma San is really lucky."
"Four mu of land is just a little worse than Zhao Yurong's."
"Second place."
"I won't compete with Zhao Yurong. I'll just have to draw as much as Third Aunt later."
"Me too."
"May our ancestors bless you."
“…”
"We'll give you free shipping. Don't be like that unlucky guy Zhao Yaozu, who got all the bad tickets."
“…”
Life is full of different aspects.
Lin Su'e and her family didn't stay long and went home talking and laughing.
…
Back home.
Lin Su'e ordered Zhao Zhenren and Zhao Zhenyi: "Big brother, second brother, the village is here to measure the fields and forests, you two go."
"good."
"Okay, Mom."
Drawing lots is just the first step.
The subsequent division of land and forests is the top priority.
but.
This is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two.
Now, when dividing the land, the village chief and the accountant lead people to measure with ropes or wooden sticks, and the people who pull the ropes and measure with the wooden sticks are basically the relatives and friends of the village chief and the accountant.
Although people in a village are related, there are always differences in the closeness of their relationships.
When measuring the land, if the owner of your land or someone you have a good relationship with is a little more lenient, you can get more land. If the owner has an average relationship with you or is an honest person, they will measure the land for you strictly and not give up an inch, which will make you suffer a loss invisibly.
but.
Lin Su'e was not very worried.
First, my family has a good relationship with the village chief, and they are relatives within the fifth degree of mourning.
Second, the village chief is a decent person and tries to treat everyone equally.
Is that it?
No, there is another reason.
yes……
Just had lunch.
Wang Pingsheng came home.
He is Wang Bowen's youngest son, the same age as Zhao Zhenyi. The two have been friends since childhood and are close friends.
As soon as he came in, he said respectfully, "Third Aunt."
Lin Su'e understood and pretended to be confused: "What happened in my life?"
Wang Pingsheng replied: "The village chief asked me to come over and ask Brother Zhenren and Brother Zhenyi to help measure the land."
Zhao Zhenren: "Measure the land?"
Zhao Zhenyi's eyes lit up and he readily agreed: "Sure, no problem."
Zhao Zhenren also thought of something and nodded vigorously: "Okay, we will definitely go."
Wang Pingsheng smiled: "Okay."
"Aunt San, I'm leaving now. It's better to go to another house and talk."
Lin Su'e smiled and waved her hand: "Go ahead."
When a person leaves.
Zhao Fenglan said excitedly: "Big Brother, Second Brother, you help measure the land. When it is divided among our family, you must be careful and don't let our family suffer any loss."
Zhao Zhenyi was already happy to hear the good news, and then he was so happy to hear his rebellious sister calling him brother. He raised his chin and nodded proudly: "Of course."
Zhao Zhenren smiled innocently: "Don't worry, second sister, we have the second brother here, and we won't suffer any loss."
Zhao Zhenyi's smile faded slightly: Boss, are you praising me or insulting me?
