Chapter 36 Busy Spring
Chapter 36 Busy Spring
Tang Qiu cleaned up the nine mu of land where he planted vegetables. Last year, after the vegetables were harvested, Tang Qiu bought a lot of sheep manure and spread it on the land. Now, Tang Qiu has also spread medicine powder and plant ash on the soil to disinfect and kill insect eggs.
The water in the fish pond has been through a winter and is nutritious enough. Now that the stream water has flowed in, it’s time to use the water in the pond to irrigate the vegetable fields.
As soon as the vegetable field was watered, Song Liang brought the workers to work.
Because they had come to observe the terrain before, they worked smoothly. Tang Qiu knew that he could not help, so he did not bother them and continued to do his own work.
After watering the vegetable field, she also had to release the herbs from the herb field, then sprinkle the herb powder and water it. Tang Qiu also dismantled the shed of the fish pond, turning it into an open-air pond again.
Only the civet cat's bed was still there.
Tang Qiu also made a nest for the tortoise, which meant it had settled down here.
Because it was an all-inclusive project, Tang Qiu naturally didn't have to worry about meals, but all the uncles and aunts in the village came to work, and a lot of the pickles Tang Qiu pickled were given away.
Because both tortoises and civet cats love to eat fish, Tang Qiu simply bought another 200 fish fry and threw them into the fish pond.
Tang Qiu now lives on buying vegetables, so she plans to plant fruit trees on the mountain where she planted some medicinal herbs. However, fruit trees take too long to mature.
So Tang Qiu went to the village committee.
"What? The ten acres of land where I grow vegetables has been contracted out to someone else?"
The village chief said somewhat embarrassedly: "Yes, they offered one thousand yuan per mu of land and rented it for seventy years."
The village chief didn't say what he was going to say next, but Tang Qiu knew that one thousand yuan per mu of land meant ten mu of land, and ten thousand yuan a year meant seven hundred thousand yuan in seventy years. Of course, the village chief was tempted when he saw that they were willing to pay so much.
Seeing that Tang Qiu didn't say anything, the village chief said embarrassedly: "There is no primary school in the village now. Everyone has to go to the township to go to school. It's not easy for everyone to go to work now, so buy a school bus to take students to school. In this way, the children will go to school by themselves in the future without parents picking them up."
After hearing what the village chief said, Tang Qiu was speechless.
In the end, they could only renew the contract fee for the ten acres of land above her house. However, she was paid 200 yuan per acre. Having learned the lesson of being cut off, Tang Qiu simply gritted her teeth and renewed the contract for seventy years.
Thinking about how she spent 70 yuan on ten acres of land over 14 years, which was much less than that man, Tang Qiu inexplicably felt a little balanced.
After the renewal was successful, Tang Qiu bought a lot of fruit seedlings and started working.
Gao Jianping, who also worked at Tang Qiu's home, saw that it was so troublesome for Tang Qiu to dig the hole, so he called his son directly and asked his son to drive the smallest excavator to dig the hole for Tang Qiu.
It originally took Tang Qiu a long time to plant the fruit trees, but unexpectedly he finished it in just two days.
Of course, Tang Qiu couldn't let them work for nothing, so he provided them with two lunches and gave them 500 yuan for gas.
In order to water the fruit trees, Tang Qiu put another water pump in the stream. Yes, the water pump was also solar-powered. This time, Tang Qiu took the initiative to contact the person who installed solar power in her home.
After planting the fruit trees, Tang Qiu is busy planting vegetables.
It took a month before everything was done.
At this time, Tang Qiu's house was half built. In order to ensure the stability of the house, Song Liang's construction team laid a solid foundation. Because Tang Qiu's family lived on a hillside, they were also worried about mudslides, so they built a high wall with reinforced concrete and stones at the back of the house to prevent mud from flowing back into the house.
