Chapter 20 How much did it cost in total?

The construction speed of the residential land in Jiangcun is really not slow.

With the joint efforts of An Jianmin and Jiang Wenlin, construction of several residential plots and even silkworm houses started at the same time.

After two weeks, the construction of the silkworm house has been completed and is ready for use.

On the contrary, it is the homestead.

The newly completed foundation was clearly visible to Bi Lizhu.

An Songxiang was extremely nervous and looked again and again at her father and brother in front of her who seemed to have no idea at all.

Once again, I complained in my heart that my sister couldn't come with me.

Yuan Qionghua, who came with a few people, was also secretly observing the expression of his brother's wife.

It started when the third brother decided to return to Jiangcun and started building a house and cleaning up the mulberry fish pond in Jiangcun.

Her sister-in-law only came over once.

But at that time, several residential plots had just been allocated.

Even the workers have not yet been recruited.

So unless anyone mentions it, we can't be sure whether she knows it.

And judging from my second niece’s reaction last time.

Perhaps the third brother hid this matter from more than one or two people.

Yuan Qionghua has always known about her own family affairs, and she thinks she knows her sisters-in-law well.

But her two younger brothers and sisters-in-law, who were supposed to be the same as her, paying more attention to their sons and not being too harsh on their daughters, suddenly did this to them.

It makes her family seem to be particularly partial to her son.

During those days, Yuan Qionghua observed her younger siblings more than once, wanting to see whether the youngest was willing to do this.

But that person is busy every day, plus there is the matter of building the house.

Not to mention observing anything, she hadn't even seen anyone a few times.

It was so hard to finally see my third brother's wife, Yuan Qionghua didn't believe it, but my third brother's wife was also willing.

After all, she had always seen how her third brother's wife treated the children.

Bi Lizhu was indeed very shocked.

There was even a point where I couldn't react.

But after she came to her senses, what Bi Lizhu felt first was not the impact of her two daughters also having homesteads.

But it was An Jianping who concealed the truth from her.

In fact, she knows An Jianping better than her two daughters.

I kept hearing him say that he wanted to contract the village's mulberry fields and fish ponds.

I've never seen him make such a big fuss about the homestead he mentioned before.

So, how many mulberry fields and fish ponds did he contract?

And what kind of method is used to contract it out?

Yuan Qionghua waited for a long time, but Bi Lizhu didn't change her expression.

However, when An Jianping and the other man were preparing to check the condition of the mulberry fields, she followed them without hesitation.

Yuan Qionghua sighed a little, this is different because it is their own thing.

In the past, this brother and sister-in-law from the city had returned to the village countless times.

But except for the initial curiosity, I almost never went there again.

But today, she took the initiative to follow along without anyone reminding her.

When you walk out of the village, the first thing you see is the well-maintained vegetable gardens, orchards, etc.

Outside of this whole area, there are scattered flower fields, some of which still have some flowers and trees growing.

Some still have some large and small flower pots left, some of which still have flowers and plants growing in them that are obviously not well managed, while others are already dilapidated or empty.

In addition, there are flower fields that have obviously been empty for quite some time and are now mixed with weeds and flowers.

Once you walk past this, you will reach the Sangji fish pond and orchard.

Compared with the flower fields in front, the fields here are basically not vacant.

But when you get closer, you will see that these mulberry fields, fish ponds and orchards are obviously not well managed.

The weeds in the field have grown one after another.

The fruit trees and mulberry fields that were originally carefully managed had obviously not been pruned for a long time and were all growing wildly.

There are fish ponds of all sizes, and the weeds around the ponds are particularly lush.

In some places, the edge of the fish pond is no longer visible.

If an unfamiliar person comes over, not only will he not be able to find the direction, but he will also easily fall into it.

But it is among these mulberry fields, fish ponds and orchards.

There is a large area that is completely different.

The mulberry tree had obviously been simply pruned, but perhaps because the timing was missed, new branches now coexist with old branches.

Most of the weeds in the open spaces between the rows of mulberry trees have been cleared.

Although there is still tender grass growing in the new year, it will no longer be so dense that it will overwhelm people.

The roots of the thick and strong mulberry trees were filled with pond mud that had obviously been dug up recently.

Most of the weeds by the fish pond next to it have been cleared, allowing people to finally see the true appearance of the fish pond.

In the fish ponds, some are still left to dry, while others have already had water pumped back in.

Some distance away, on a larger fish pond, there is a spacious silkworm house along the edge of the fish pond, with a small half built on the shore and the larger half suspended in the air above the fish pond.

There were people busy coming in and out.

Bi Lizhu looked up and saw the familiar figure: "Dad? Mom?"

When Grandma An Shi Youqin heard the sound, she turned around and saw that almost all of her third son's family had come.

Her wrinkled face seemed to be smoothed out a little in an instant.

An Jianping had obviously expected the two people to be here, so he asked directly:

"Dad, Mom, how's the silkworm house going?"

"Everything is ready." An Shunhe nodded to his daughter-in-law before answering seriously.

"That's good!" An Jianping said and greeted the two people who came out from behind.

These two people were the ones he specially hired to be in charge of his silkworm house.

It’s just that the two of them came from other places to work.

Although I have raised silkworms in my hometown before, I am not that professional after all.

So when I was in Anshun and the couple saw that the third brother's family had really built a silkworm house, I wanted to come and see it from time to time and help with some of the work.

An Jianping simply handed over the silkworm house to the two old people.

He also told them that they would be responsible for teaching the two people they had invited the silkworm rearing techniques.

After the cocoons are produced in the silkworm house, the two will receive dividends from the net income.

However, the silkworm house is still empty today.

Even though the silkworm house had been built for several days.

But the little silkworms have not yet hatched from the eggs.

After leaving the silkworm house here, Bi Lizhu saw several silkworm houses of different sizes in other places.

This is the characteristic of Sangji Fish Pond.

Of course, she also felt that this was probably An Jianping's preparation for the subsequent demolition.

After walking around the mulberry fields and fish ponds, Bi Lizhu followed An Jianping and his son to the nearby orchard.

However, unlike Sangtian, the orchard here is not undergoing any meticulous management.

After all, it is already spring, and it is no longer appropriate to manage the orchard too much.

Even so, the weeds in the orchard have been cleared a little.

There were also some branches that were too lush, so they were trimmed a little.

In addition, some pond mud was filled under each fruit tree.

Obviously, although An Jianping planned to leave them alone, he did not plan to leave them completely abandoned.

As Bi Lizhu looked along, she discovered that the area of ​​the orchards contracted by An Jianping was indeed not small.

The fruit trees are almost all in their prime fruit-bearing period.

Due to the obvious lack of management in recent years.

The spacing between these fruit trees is obviously unreasonable.

There are also varieties. Perhaps these orchards were planted early, and the varieties are not divided into large areas.

Instead, each kind of plant takes a small piece and combines together to form a large orchard.

Bi Lizhu roughly counted and found five or six kinds of fruit trees.

This does not include the papayas and bananas planted in the corners.

This... is simply all the common fruit trees in Shuncheng!

During this season, most fruit trees are in bloom.

It’s because this orchard is quite far away from the village, otherwise it probably wouldn’t have been so cheap for their family.

On the way back, Bi Lizhu couldn't help but ask:

"How much did it cost to contract these mulberry fields, fish ponds and orchards?"

"It's not a lot!" A hint of guilt flashed in An Jianping's eyes.

Bi Lizhu naturally didn't believe his lies and continued to ask:

"This whole area must be several hundred acres, right? How much per acre?"

"How can there be so many!" An Jianping did not admit it at all.

Bi Lizhu casually pointed to the orchard behind:

"I just counted the longan trees over there. There are ten in each row. There are ten rows in total."

"Although there are some differences in the number of other fruit trees, some are more and some are less. Even if we take the average, it should be about the same."

"Then do you want me to ask, how many fruit trees can be planted on one acre of land?"
