Chapter 40 Demolition Notice
After coming out of the village committee, everyone was not in a hurry to leave.
The village chief just said that after discussing the contracting issue, we will also have to consider whether to divide the mulberry fields and orchards depending on the situation.
However, An Songyu felt that the situation was precarious.
After all, if the villagers are really interested in the orchard, they would have already gone in and inquired with the village committee.
Sure enough, after that group of scattered villagers went in, there was no movement from the others.
After a while, the village cadres came out again under the leadership of Jiang Wenlin.
They briefly introduced the contracting situation just now.
I didn’t expect that with such a small batch, most of the orchards in the village have already been contracted out.
As for the scattered ones, it is not impossible for the village to take good care of them after receiving the contract money this time.
Not to mention other income, even allowing tourists in the village to pick the fruits at will is also a means of attracting customers.
Even after taking care of these orchards, the money that can be earned is estimated to be limited.
It would be difficult to distribute it to the villagers.
As for the Sangji Fish Pond, this is really troublesome.
Jiang Wenlin simply started discussing it with the villagers.
The village committee naturally hopes that the money can be distributed directly to each household.
There are more than 2,000 acres of mulberry fish ponds, excluding the 400 acres contracted by An Songyu's family, there are nearly 1,800 acres left.
According to the population and number of households in Jiang Village, each family will be allocated a considerable amount.
However, if silkworms are not raised in the mulberry fish pond, the income that can be generated is really limited.
Especially since the villagers are busy running their increasingly prosperous farm stays, they don’t have the leisure time to deal with this.
Therefore, due to the unanimous opposition of the villagers, the matter of allocating the mulberry fish pond had to be shelved.
The villagers dispersed one by one, and An Songyu's family was about to leave when they were stopped by Jiang Wenlin.
Jiang Wenlin greeted the others first, then turned to look at An Jianping: "Jianping, how are you going to take care of your orchard?"
"Uncle Lin, I plan to contact someone this afternoon to clear the weeds in the orchard first." An Jianping answered directly.
He has always been more organized in his work.
Although the contract for the orchard was only just concluded.
But in his mind, he had been preparing for several days.
"I also want to ask the elderly in the village how we used to take care of the orchards in our village."
"It just so happens that the orchard in front of my house is under contract, and we can take care of it together then."
"That's not bad!" Jiang Wenlin praised first, then asked rather embarrassedly:
"Then Jianping, there are still some orchards left in the village. We have discussed it and we also want to use the contract money to take good care of them."
"How about you help contact the workers?"
"That's a small matter, Uncle Lin, just count the number of people needed." An Jianping agreed very quickly, but he also gave a heads up:
"But if more manpower is needed, we have to give them time to prepare."
"When I confirm it, I'll give you the contact person."
"As for the more specific matters, you can discuss them yourselves."
Jiang Wenlin felt even more embarrassed, but he didn't refuse.
After all, this is public money from the village, and every penny must be made known to the villagers.
Therefore, the specific labor costs and so on will definitely not be as convenient as the ones employed by Jianping's family.
An Jianping didn't care.
Anyway, he was just helping to act as a middleman, there was no conflict of interest involved at all, so naturally he wouldn't go into the details of these things.
But when An Jianping came out of the village committee, there were more than one or two people waiting for him.
So, the next day, the broken van picked up people who came to the village to work twice.
Others still have their own means of transportation.
In this way, after several days, all the orchards in the village became clean.
As for other care, that will come a little later.
Even so, when the farmhouses in the village were not very busy, An Jianping sought advice from experienced elderly people in the village.
First, give the overly lush fruit trees some preliminary treatment.
Speaking of which, the area of fruit trees in the village is not small.
After all, the requirements for planting fruit trees are different from those for mulberry fish ponds and flower fields and vegetable gardens.
Not to mention the places in the village that were originally suitable for growing fruit trees, even the small hills that were originally not suitable for growing other things have been developed into orange orchards.
The total area is not much smaller than that of Sangji Fish Pond.
But this time, An Jianping made a big move and contracted another 800 acres.
Their entire family consumed more than a thousand acres of land.
Most of the remaining several hundred acres were divided up among other people in the village.
This is also the reason why the villagers dared to make up their minds and clean up the remaining orchards.
After all, the amount is really not that big.
This is completely possible with the contract money we received this time.
It’s just that... these people are very cunning.
I have only paid the first year's contract fee and want to give it a try.
September is already halfway through.
An Songyu has been closely following the progress of the orchard management in the village.
Until the village not only took care of the remaining orchards, but also cleared out several large fish ponds suitable for fish farming and released fish fry.
Although most of the mulberry fields remained as they were, the remaining fish ponds, large and small, had not been cleaned up.
But An Songyu believes that this is definitely much better than before the demolition.
And it was on September 20th.
The demolition notice that An Songyu had been looking forward to was delivered to the Jiangcun and Lincun village committees without any warning.
At the same time, in accordance with the requirements of the demolition notice, starting from today:
The two villages will suspend household registration transfers, house reconstruction, additions and expansion projects.
When the notice reached the village, not to mention other people, even the village committee took a long time to react.
Even on the land acquisition notice next to it, the scope, purpose, compensation standards, etc. of the land acquisition are clearly written.
But they still felt like they couldn't understand it at all.
After the village committee members fully came to their senses and studied it carefully.
The village once again notified everyone to hold a meeting.
This time, even the most well-informed villagers could not find out the reason for the meeting.
An Songyu had been waiting anxiously.
But after hearing the notice of the village meeting, she felt as if the dust had settled.
She found An Jianmin's home. An Jianmin, who had just received news about the meeting and had not found out the details, was in a daze.
When he saw his niece coming over, he immediately asked, "Ayu, the village requires the whole village to hold a meeting this afternoon. Do you want to go alone, or notify your family?"
"Notify my dad!" An Songyu answered without hesitation.
An Jianmin was stunned for a moment, then he reacted immediately.
He stood up excitedly, walked around twice, then sat down and wanted to say something to An Songyu.
For a moment I didn't know how to start.
So he stood up again, and walked around twice more, somewhat dazed and helpless.
"Uncle, how about...you call my dad first? Maybe I guessed wrong?" An Songyu said cautiously.
She was even afraid that if she raised her voice a little too loud, it would irritate her uncle.
After all, this newly contracted orchard has only just been cleaned up!
If this was really demolished... wouldn't it be like picking it up for free?
Moreover, it is obvious that the amount to be picked up is not a small amount. Who wouldn’t be excited if it happened to them?
