Chapter 181 Hand over the planting area and move out of Yao County
On the third night after Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao registered their marriage, Brother Tan knocked on Lin Qi's door holding a small box.
As soon as the door opened, Brother Tan couldn't wait to say, "Hurry, help me carry it, it's so heavy."
Xu Hexiao looked at the small box and took it without thinking too much. The box was indeed very heavy, probably more than 50 kilograms. "Is there gold in it?"
"Yes, it's gold." Brother Tan walked into the yard, feeling a lot more relaxed. "You don't know how scared I was when I came here to find you all by myself, carrying a box of gold bars in the middle of the night. The sound of insects and birds chirping could scare me to death."
Xu Hexiao glanced at him calmly, "This gold is——"
"My sister-in-law's savings are gone, so this gold is compensation," said Brother Tan.
"Compensation?" Lin Qi walked out of the room, her eyebrows raised, "Is it the bank's gold? Is it easy to exchange?"
"Yes." Brother Tan smiled, "The higher-ups have also considered this issue, and will definitely make it convenient for you."
Lin Qi snorted twice, without making any comment. She took the box, opened it, and saw a brand new piece of paper on top of the box. "What is this?"
"Look for yourselves." Brother Tan sat down by himself, his expression becoming a little complicated.
Lin Qi had already opened the paper and then read out, "House deed?"
This is not a simple title deed, it is the title deed of a house in the capital.
The higher-ups gave her a house in the capital as a gift. Why?
Lin Qi handed the deed to Xu Hexiao, then looked directly into Tan's eyes, "What does it mean?"
Brother Tan smiled bitterly. He didn't want to be the bad guy, but he was the only one who had contact with Lin Qi, so he couldn't escape. He could only bite the bullet and say, "This time the commotion was too big. After careful consideration, the higher-ups hope that you will move out of Yao County."
These days, all kinds of rumors are spreading outside, and they are getting more and more outrageous. If they continue to develop, the impact will be too great, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with in the end.
"Moving to the capital?" Xu Hexiao had already finished reading the deed and asked the most crucial question, "Will the higher-ups help us transfer connections? Help us find jobs?"
"It's no problem to transfer your connections, but there's no job." Brother Tan said, not knowing whether to envy or sympathize. "If your connections are transferred to the city, you can eat commercial grain, but you need to figure out the money and tickets yourself. The higher-ups have built you a house, and many people have noticed it. If they help you find a job, others will follow suit and involve the higher-ups. So, you can only figure out a way to find a job yourself."
Xu Hexiao and Lin Qi looked at each other. They had a house in Anliang Brigade and a planting area in the mountains, and it was a large-scale planting area. They had whatever they wanted to eat, and they didn't want to leave.
However, since the house has been delivered to them, it seems they really have no choice but to leave.
"You'd better pack up and leave Yao County. If you continue to stay here, you will become feudal superstitious." Brother Tan said helplessly.
Lin Qi, Xu Hexiao: "........"
Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao were studying the title deed, their eyes focused on the area of the house. As for the location, neither of them cared much.
So in order to get them to leave, they actually gave them such a big house, more than 1,800 square meters?
"In the area column, is there an extra zero after this number?" Lin Qi pointed at the number and asked uncertainly.
Brother Tan's expression became even more embarrassed. "The higher-ups want the land you opened up in the mountains, the plants you planted, and the animals you raised. Use those to exchange for a house."
Lin Qi: “…”
Xu Hexiao: “…”
The atmosphere was awkward. If the person who came was not Brother Tan, Lin Qi would probably curse. Xu Hexiao clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with anger, and his voice was cold, "That's Qi Qi's hard work!"
That’s more than 200 acres of planting area!!!
Brother Tan said with a sad face, "I know. I also tried to persuade the higher-ups, but they said no. The land in the mountains belongs to the collective and the country, not yours. The higher-ups said they won't hold you accountable for cultivating the land without permission, which is already a concession."
This statement left Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao unable to refute.
"I'm afraid the higher-ups don't just want your stuff, they also want to do research. The research is about why you can grow such high-yield and delicious plants and raise such meaty animals." Brother Tan expressed his guess.
Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao remained silent.
Brother Tan continued, facing the murderous gazes of the two men, "The higher-ups asked you to leave behind the wine you brewed, the grain you produced, the dried fruits and honey you made, and other supplies."
"You can stay, but not all of you. I promised everyone that I would hold a hundred-day celebration for the child in ten days. It will require a lot of food, meat, wine, sugar and other things." Lin Qi said.
Brother Tan looked embarrassed. "The higher-ups hope you guys will leave in the next two days. You'd better disappear in Yao County before the impact continues to expand."
"I have already promised everyone." Lin Qi's tone did not allow for rejection.
Brother Tan spread his hands, "There's nothing I can do."
"It takes time to pack up, five days. We will leave after five days." Xu Hexiao said.
Brother Tan wiped his face and said, "Okay, I'll go and get it for you. Also, if you have anything you need to buy, make a list and I'll find it for you. Once you've paid the down payment, I won't be able to help you even if I want to."
Tonight, Xu Hexiao did not invite Brother Tan to dinner. Brother Tan also knew that Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao had many things to discuss, so he did not invite them to dinner. He took the bill and left.
"We have more than 380 jars of wine in our planting area. We can't leave them all to the higher-ups. We only need to keep 80 jars and those big jars." Xu Hexiao said. First, they were reluctant to do so, and second, it would further expose Qiqi's strength.
How much grain is needed to brew so much wine?
This number is a bit scary!
Lin Qi frowned, "We can't find such a good storage room in such a short time." Not all wine is suitable for being buried underground.
Xu Hexiao's eyes deepened, "Then sell it. Don't sell it to Brother Tan, sell it to Boss Mo. We can't live on selling gold bars when we go to the capital. We need money and tickets. Some time ago, Boss Mo said that they received a batch of top-quality jewelry, including jade, gold, jade, and gemstones. We can just use the wine to exchange them."
"Can Boss Mo drink so much wine?" Lin Qi was a little worried. Three hundred jars, and one jar weighs fifty kilograms. This is not a small amount.
Xu Hexiao was not worried. "Boss Mo's business is getting bigger and bigger, so there's no problem."
In recent years, especially last year, because of the supplies they provided, when no one else could deliver the goods, only Boss Mo and his men had the goods. They took the opportunity to expand, and now Boss Mo has a share in almost all the black markets in several nearby counties and cities.
Lin Qi felt relieved after hearing this. "Okay, I'll deliver the goods and you stay home to look after the children."
Xu Hexiao could only agree. With his ability, he couldn't transport so much wine in just a few days.
That night, Lin Qi sent fifty jars of wine to Boss Mo.
Seeing all this wine, Boss Mo and the others were all stunned and became incoherent, "All wine? That kind of wine? The same quality as before? All for us? Really?"
Lin Qi nodded, "In addition to these fifty jars, there are still two hundred and fifty jars. Can you eat them all?"
"Of course, no problem at all." Boss Mo said proudly.
"As for the price--" Lin Qi hesitated.
"In addition to that batch of jewels, I will also give you ten golden unicorns. Each unicorn weighs four taels and they are from the Tang Dynasty." said Mr. Mo.
Lin Qi nodded, "We also need 2,000 in cash and various bills. The bills must be valid nationwide."
Boss Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, no problem. But let me ask you one more question. Are you going on a long trip? What do you need the national ticket for?"
"We are moving to the capital. We will leave in a few days. This is probably our last batch of business." Lin Qi said, and reminded, "So the wine--"
“I’m afraid I can’t bear to sell it.” Boss Mo, who was so happy just a second ago, was about to cry now. Their God of Wealth was about to run away!!!
Lin Qi chuckled. It would be good if they didn’t sell out all at once, otherwise the higher-ups would know that she and Xu Hexiao were clearing out the stock.
"No, I want something else besides wine." Boss Mo gritted his teeth.
Lin Qi thought about it. In addition to wine, there were also quite a lot of other things. There were more than 40 jars of honey alone, and even more, hundreds of jars of jujube honey, as well as some dried fruits and jams. She could sell some of them to Boss Mo.
"Okay, but the price is not cheap." Lin Qi said.
"No problem, I will definitely make you satisfied." Boss Mo patted his chest and said.
After returning from Boss Mo's place, Lin Qi changed her route and went to Yu Mingbo's house.
She knocked on Yu Mingbo's door carrying a jar of wine, which scared Yu Mingbo. "Why are you here at this time?"
"I'm writing a letter. Please help me mail it home tomorrow." Lin Qi said. She was about to leave. In order to avoid her family mailing things to her, she decided to tell them about their move.
"Why is the letter so urgent?" In the past, Yu Mingbo would not have thought it was a big deal, but now Lin Qi has four children who are less than a hundred days old. Instead of being at home to accompany her children, she appears here in the middle of the night. No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit unusual.
"We are leaving Yao County." Lin Qi's tone revealed a hint of helplessness.
Yu Mingbo was stunned, and Aunt Yu and Yu Borui and his wife who came out of the room were also stunned.
Aunt Yu looked reluctant, "Why are you leaving so suddenly?"
Lin Qi repeated the above arrangements, without mentioning the planting area or the fact that the house was over 1,800 square meters.
"This jar of wine is a gift from me to you. We will meet again if we are lucky enough." Lin Qi said cautiously.
Everyone in the Yu family had tears in their eyes. Aunt Yu cried out, "It's so far and it's inconvenient to travel. From now on..."
"The situation will definitely change in the future. When the time comes, you can go to the capital and I will receive you." Lin Qi said calmly, with a convincing tone.
Aunt Yu stopped crying and said, "Let's make a deal. When we go to the capital, you can't disown us."
Lin Qi smiled, "No."
After Lin Qi left, the four people from the Yu family did not sleep, but held a meeting around the table.
"Lin Qi gave us a gift, so we should also give a gift in return. Moreover, she has given us a lot of things over the years. Although we have also given gifts in return, they are not as good as what she gave us. Now this farewell gift has to be more generous." Aunt Yu said earnestly.
The others nodded, "It should be more generous."
"Then spend two days preparing, and we will deliver the gift to her house the day after tomorrow."
