As for the breeding pig, it is temporarily kept in someone else's pig farm. It will only be brought back after it has been bred with the other two sows.
However, the feed needed for the boars during the breeding period is also provided by the pig farm.
At this time, for Lin Cuihua and Li Xiaomi, the pigs temporarily raised in the pigsty at home are not just pigs, they are pig ancestors, the kind that will cost the family all their fortunes if they are not taken care of well.
What’s more, food is precious. You are not allowed to feed them too much grass in the mountains. You have to feed them pig feed that you buy with money.
No matter how unhappy Lin Cuihua and Li Xiaomi were, they had to serve well.
When the land was distributed, it was divided according to the number of people. The quality, distance, and whether it was mountainous or fertile farmland were mostly allocated. Then each family drew lots to choose the land. Because it was fair and just, there were no conflicts and the land was divided.
The biggest thing in the village now is that Brother An and Brother An want to contract the forest.
Qingshan Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there are quite a few hills with good geographical locations.
However, no matter how good these mountains are, in the eyes of others, they are waste mountains that cannot be used for planting. The greatest use of the mountains is to grow weeds and wild trees. If you go far inside, there are also poisonous insects and wild beasts.
In the eyes of others, Brother An and Brother An are undoubtedly stupid.
Isn't it just raising a few pigs? No matter how expensive it is, can't you just build two pig pens in your own yard? It's also worth renting a hill to raise pigs, which only costs one or two hundred yuan a year. Isn't this just throwing it away?
However, they did not know that according to the plan given to them by An Hongdou, they wanted to become the largest breeder in Wan'an Town within three to five years.
But in reality, planning is just planning after all, and even Brother An Da and Brother An Er themselves are worried.
The stall is quite big, but I don’t know if they have the ability to maintain it.
Andelai mentioned to everyone during the meeting that Brother An and his friends wanted to contract the forest. In order to avoid future troubles, they could be given a day to consider it. Then, at the meeting tomorrow night, everyone's opinions would be heard and the decision would be made, with the minority obeying the majority.
An Hongdou asked Brother An to contract the forest for five years first. She would lend him the money he needed temporarily, and he would pay her back when they made money.
While other villagers were considering it, Brother An and Brother An were also considering it.
Second Brother An looked at his eldest brother and said, "Brother, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Now that we have paid the money for the forest contract, there is absolutely no room for us to turn back."
Even if they pulled those pigs from the distant Jiangcheng, it was not a loss. After all, the pigs were there and they could still make money by selling them.
But contracting a mountain is different. Not only is the 5-year contract fee huge, but if it fails, all the money will be wasted without even a sound.
Brother An's palms were sweating with nervousness. He said, "Let's go to the town again and tell my little sister about the current situation."
I originally thought that the mountain land was worthless and would just sit there idle anyway, so I could contract it back for a hundred or eighty yuan.
But Ande went to the town to ask, and found out that the contract for two hills for five years would cost about a thousand yuan.
Of course, the area of mountain land is definitely not small, especially since Andelai is the head of the family, he could be given a few more acres of land if he was more generous.
Mountains are difficult to measure, and who would bother to measure the area of barren mountains?
An Hongdou was very happy when she received their call.
However, after they finished speaking, their eyes lit up and they asked in disbelief, "Brother, how much do you think those two mountains cost per year?"
"Two hundred a year, and if you contract for five years, that's about a thousand yuan!" Brother An repeated.
"Then you talk to your second uncle and see if you can contract it for twenty years." An Hongdou made the decision immediately.
Two hundred a year, those two hills must have at least a hundred acres of land. It's simply pie in the sky. I would be sorry to myself if I don't take it.
However, this sentence scared Brother An on the other end of the phone, "Little sister, what did you say?" He deeply suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
An Hongdou repeated it again in a loud voice, and he was sure that he had not heard it wrong, but he couldn't believe what he heard.
"Little sister, that's four thousand dollars in twenty years!" Brother An said in horror.
"I know." An Hongdou thought, after a few years, it would be good enough to be able to contract for a year with 4,000 yuan, let alone twenty years.
An Hongdou asked Brother An, "Brother, do you believe me?"
She was saving money for him, but if he didn't believe it, there was nothing she could do.
Of course, she will still help him according to the original five-year plan.
Brother An swallowed his saliva and said, "Of course I believe you, little sister. I believe you."
Although he didn't want to believe it, things had come to this point. Thinking about his younger sister's plans for them in the next few years, Brother An thought, let's take a gamble.
What if...it works?
"Trust me, then listen to me." An Hongdou said, "It's getting late today. I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow and you can go to get it this afternoon. Also, tell your second uncle that the money we got from contracting the mountain should belong to the village, and it would be best if we could use it to repair the road..."
After all, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Once the breeding farms are successfully established, the large number of chickens, ducks and pigs cannot be transported out.
Even if this money is distributed equally among other people, each person will not get much, and it would be best to use this money to build roads.
Once the road is easy to travel and the farm is successful, as long as there is someone to take the lead, the villagers will naturally become wealthy.
After hanging up the phone, Brother An stood there in a daze for a long time until the shop owner urged him, and then he came to his senses.
Second brother An also heard what was said just now, and was no less shocked than the eldest brother.
"Brother, are we really going to listen to our little sister?" Four thousand yuan, even if all the people in their village were rich together, they might not be that rich.
"Second brother, will my little sister harm us?" Brother An asked instead of answering.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Although we borrowed the money, it was my younger sister who took it. She is our biological sister. Why would she want to harm us?"
Brother An then sighed and said, "So, why do you want us to contract for a longer period of time? Isn't it so that we can live a good life? I'm not afraid that the money will go down the drain, but two grown men like us are still hesitating here. Isn't it shameful?"
Andelai was also shocked when he learned that they were going to contract the property for twenty years. After urging them to think carefully, he did not object too much since they still insisted.
The idea was proposed by Hongdou. Although the girl had been a bit of a mess before, she has been getting better and better after getting married.
Besides, she was the one who got the money for the contracted land, so they must have made their own decisions. He was old, so he couldn't figure out the young people's ideas, so he gave up thinking about it. As for what they wanted to do, his old bones could still be of some use and could help a little.
The villagers had no objection to contracting the mountain land. The mountain was just lying there barren anyway, and at least contracting it out could make some money for the village, so why not do it?
However, there are indeed many complaints about using the money to build roads.
After all, money never smells as good as when it's in your own hands.
Those country folks seldom go to town for several months, so why would it be such a waste to build a road?
