Chu Jun smiled and said, "I asked, and the captain didn't know the situation either, so he asked the company for me, and the company asked the regiment. The regiment gave the company an accurate reply yesterday!"
Chu Tian quickly asked, "What did you say?"
Chu Jun replied in a good mood, "They said we can contract, but there are some requirements. The minimum contract is 30 acres, and the contract period is at least 10 years and at most 30 years. You can choose it yourself. If you contract for 40 years, the price is the most favorable..."
Chu Tian smiled, "Okay, big brother, just listen to me and choose the longest term, which is thirty years!"
Chu Jun swallowed, "Thirty years? Isn't that too long?"
Chu Tian smiled and shook his head, "Is it long? I think it's too short!"
Chu Jun nodded, "Okay, then I will go to the regiment headquarters with Captain Sun tomorrow..."
Chu Min continued, "Do you have enough money? If not, I'll get you some later..."
Chu Jun smiled awkwardly, "It's really not enough. I only have a few hundred yuan at home..."
Chu Min nodded, "How much difference?"
Chu Jun mentioned a number, and Chu Min said that he would go back and get him 10,000 yuan, and keep the rest for emergencies.
Chu Tianxin wondered, is renting land that cheap these days? Thirty acres for less than a few thousand yuan, with a thirty-year lease? And the location isn't particularly far from the city...
He remembered hearing others say in his later life that his family rented land in Aksu, southern Xinjiang, and it cost about 1,000 yuan per mu per year. Of course, if they signed a contract for more than 30 years, it would be much cheaper...
"By the way, big brother, do you have any livestock you want to raise?"
Chu Jun shook his head honestly. "I was thinking about raising chickens at first, but our company has a chicken farm. Plus, I heard from the captain this morning that two members of our company's first team are planning to open a farm together. I think it's raising chickens..."
"Brother, what about you? Don't worry about what others raise. Even if you raise chickens, with Chu Min and I here, are you still worried that you won't be able to sell them?"
Chu Tian was not surprised at all that someone also wanted to open a breeding farm. In this day and age, there are still people with quick minds and courage.
They now provide a meal of meat to the workers every day. Although they still have space, it is almost exhausted. If Chu Jun raises chickens, he can contract a lot by himself...
Chu Jun frowned, "I don't really want to raise chickens, and the cost of raising cattle and sheep is too high..."
"I, I want to raise pigs!"
Seeing Chu Jun's eyes sparkling, Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you want to raise them, then raise them. If you don't have enough money to start catching piglets, we'll get them for you first."
Chu Min asked, "Brother, can you buy piglets?"
Chu Jun nodded. "Well, your sister-in-law has been feeding our team's pigs morning and night for these years. Every year when we catch piglets, your sister-in-law also goes with us. Also, our team's old sow, which has only been raised for more than two years, the team leader said he wants to sell it..."
"Your sister-in-law and I want to buy it..."
"This way, if we really open a pig farm, we can have our own sow to give birth to piglets, and then we can just buy some piglets..."
"The most important thing is that raising pigs is easy. Pigs are not picky eaters and will eat whatever you feed them. You just need to feed them on time every day, unlike sheep, which need to be grazed..."
In the end, in addition to his own 200 acres of land, Chu Jun planned to contract 30 acres of wasteland. He planned to build a pig farm with three acres that could raise at least 200 pigs in one go. As for the remaining land, he would plant half sweet potatoes and half corn after the spring of next year, both of which would be used to feed the pigs.
Of course, it would be impossible for him and Yu Zhen, two adults, and three children in the team to accomplish it.
So, he listened to Chu Tian's words and asked Uncle Chu to call the brigade in his hometown and ask if anyone was willing to come to Xinjiang to work after the New Year. He would provide food and accommodation, and pay 30...
Here, inside the train station in Beijing, Old Lady Chu leaned against the train window and waved at Li Jianmin and Yao Xiuli standing on the platform, saying, "Jianmin, Xiuli, you two should go back quickly."
Li Jianmin smiled and nodded, "Grandma Chu, it's okay, we'll watch the train leave, then we'll go..."
Yao Xiujuan held Yao Xiuli's hand through the window and said, "Xiuli, before you come back from winter vacation, call home and we will pick you up at the station."
Yao Xiuli nodded, "Sister, don't worry..."
"You guys have to be careful on the train. We heard from Sister Jianmin two nights ago that there are a lot of pickpockets on the train recently..."
Yao Xiujuan nodded, "We know, we will be careful."
Seeing that the train had gone several meters away, Yao Xiujuan waved to Yao Xiuli who was still standing there and shouted, "Xiuli, I put the ticket money in the compartment of your bag..."
"What?"
Yao Xiuli was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and lowered her head to open the bag. Seeing the money in the interlayer, she quickly took it out and wanted to return it to Yao Xiujuan. But when she looked up, she saw that the train had already gone far away. She could only vaguely see Yao Xiujuan's hand still waving...
Yao Xiuli stamped her feet and said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, Jianmin, look at you, sister, why are you giving me money? I told you not to give me money..."
"Forget it, just take it if you give it to me. I remember when we took Xinxin and the others to the Overseas Chinese Store a few days ago, Xinxin fell in love with that imported Walkman. I'll ask my friend to get me one and mail it back to Xinxin someday..."
Li Jianmin looked at the money in Yao Xiuli's hand and sighed. He had explained many times that he really was not short of money. He and his childhood friends in the compound pooled their money to start a business. Although he didn't have to work, he still had a lot of income every month.
But no matter what, neither Mrs. Chu nor Yao Xiujuan believed it. Recently, when they were together, whenever he spent money, they would insist on giving him more money later.
"Okay, then since you bought something for Xinxin, it's better to buy something small for Pingping and Lele as well, otherwise..."
Yao Xiuli knew that Li Jianmin and his childhood friend made money together. Although she didn't know what they did specifically, she knew that they sent a lot of money home every month. So even though the Walkman was not cheap, she didn't feel bad about it.
Li Jianmin nodded, "I know. By the way, Huaiyu said this morning that she wanted to eat roast duck. Let's go back soon, let's go buy two roast ducks before going back..."
"good··"
This is the train station in Urumqi!
"father····"
"Hey, Lele, do you miss your dad?"
"Yes, Lele misses daddy so much..."
Yao Xiujuan came over with a bag in her hand, supporting Old Lady Chu. Looking at Lele, who was hugging Chu Tian's neck tightly, she scolded him, "Lele, you're already so old, why are you still letting your father hold you?"
Lele stuck out his tongue and whispered to Chu Tian, "Dad, I want to go down..."
Chu Tian put Lele on the ground, rubbed her head, and asked Mrs. Chu with a smile, "Grandma, is it fun to go out for a walk?"
Mrs. Chu nodded. "It's fun, fun, but the climate in Guangzhou is unbearable..."
