Chapter 24 Contracting the Orchard
Instead, the garden is full of fruit.

There are quite a variety of fruits, including apples, oranges, and peaches.

"Father, how did this fruit tree grow so fast! When we watered it a few days ago, it was still bare?" Liu Er was shocked.

Not only Liu Er, Aunt Liu, Liu San, and Liu Yi were also shocked.

Daddy Liu looked at the family in front of him with a smile, very proud, "Because the soil of this land is good, look, there is no piece of land that is better than our family's soil within a radius of hundreds of miles."

Having said all this, Daddy Liu didn't forget to make Aunt Liu feel bad, "How is it? Wife, you stopped me from opening the fields back then, now that you see this scene, do you regret it?"

To be honest, Aunt Liu was really a little scared. If Daddy Liu's soft ears were persuaded by me at that time, how could their family get so much fruit now.

"Okay, okay, can't I be wrong? I will listen to you from now on."

Aunt Liu's words amused the children, and the whole family happily entered the orchard.Daddy Liu asked the children to help pick some fruits and bring them home. The children were very happy, and they didn't want to eat pears anymore.

My mouth is almost callused from eating pears for more than half a year.

The Liu family came back from the mountain with a full load, and the watering buckets they brought up the mountain were full of fruits.

When passing by the village, the villagers saw the harvest of the Liu family.

After questioning, the villagers knew that the orchard that the Liu family had just planted was already full of fruits.

This incident caused a stir in the whole village.

Some people praised Liu’s family’s good luck, some thought it was Daddy Liu who worked hard and produced so much fruit was a reward from heaven, and some people were jealous of Daddy Liu and thought he used some dirty tricks .

When the villagers were discussing this strange incident, Xu Huaihua was returning home from applying medicine in the town clinic. As soon as she passed the village entrance, she heard people talking about the Liu family in groups.

She stopped and listened for a while, and when she heard it, she was terrified, the orchard of Liu's family just had some small buds yesterday, but today they all bear fruit?

She couldn't believe it, but the people in the village told her that the people from the Liu family just passed by this intersection with a bucket of various fruits.

This made her have to believe it again.

"In the final analysis, that piece of land is better. Look at that piece of land. It turned out to be a rocky hillock. Who knew that Dad Liu's family went there, dug a few hoes, and turned it into a fertile field. How can there be any reason? "A villager was full of envy, thinking that it would be great if he went to mine the chaotic rocks on the mountain.Now I can own such fertile land.

Xu Huaihua was not happy, she glanced at the person who spoke, and said angrily: "It's not that our old Chen sees his family's pity, so we give him such a good land and let him occupy such a good land in the public house for nothing. , without spending a penny. This is the real good luck."

She snorted coldly and limped towards the house.

These sarcasm words happened to be heard by Liu San who went up the mountain to fetch a hoe, and he silently remembered them in his heart.

After returning home, Liu San told Uncle Liu the whole story, "Father, we really didn't spend any money on this land. Now that some things are planted, some people gossip about it. I think it's better to solve it thoroughly."

Daddy Liu had a headache, and the apple stuffed in his mouth was no longer fragrant. He looked at Liu San with a sad face, and asked for his opinion, "What do you think we should do?"

Liu San frowned, and gave Dad Liu an idea, "Contractor, now the whole country has set off an upsurge of rural reform, and the south has already started to move."

These are all the news he saw in the newspaper, and Father Liu is illiterate and can't read newspapers, so he knows nothing about the new policy and the current situation.

But he trusts this son very much, and he will follow what the son says.

After lunch, Daddy Liu took Liu San to the village committee to find Village Chief Chen, and met Xu Huaihua who came to deliver the meal.

Xu Huaihua still didn't give Daddy Liu a good look, and glared at him before stepping into the gate of the village committee.

The door panel closed with a "bang", knocking Dad Liu and Liu San out of the door.

"Is there someone outside the door?" Village Chief Chen clearly saw two figures staying outside the door.

Xu Huaihua stood in front of the window, deliberately blocking the view of Village Chief Chen, "Really? Why didn't I see it?"

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Daddy Liu squeezed in through the crack of the door.

When Village Chief Chen saw him coming, he immediately knew what kind of crooked idea his wife was playing. He gave her a hard look, got up and enthusiastically welcomed Father Liu and his son into the office.

"Old Liu, why are you here?"

Seeing that his man was so enthusiastic about Daddy Liu, serving tea and pouring water, Xu Huai walked into the office angrily.

Daddy Liu took the teacup and sat on the small sofa in the village chief's office in embarrassment, with more than half of his buttocks hanging outside.

"Mr. Chen, you give me the piece of land on the mountain. I can't use it for nothing. I'm here this time to discuss with you. I want to contract the piece of land on the mountain."

Village head Chen has a better impression of Daddy Liu. Many people in the village live for nothing, and this is the first time I have seen someone who offered to pay.

He thought about it, but he didn't understand the contracting policy either, so he decided to find out first before replying to Daddy Liu.

At this moment, Xu Huaihua came out of the back room angrily, and a big "landlord" hat was put on Liu Daddy's head.

She poked her waist and sneered, "Lao Liu, you made two bucks selling canned food, and you want to learn how to be a landlord in the old society?"

When Dad Liu heard the word "landlord", his face paled with fright. He had seen such scenes many times in these years, and he was afraid.

Liu San saw that her father's mood was not right, so she took a step forward and explained to Village Chief Chen, "Village Chief, I make canned pears from my own family and sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative. Both the production team and the supply and marketing cooperative agreed. , this is the fruit of the working people."

Village head Chen nodded, he knew about it, and he also supported farmers to get rich through hard work.

Seeing that Village Chief Chen's attitude was different from that of his wife Xu Huaihua, Liu San was relieved, and he continued: "Now the whole country is promoting the contract system, farmers have the right to manage the land, but the land is owned by the collective. I don't know what you mean by that, auntie."

Xu Huaihua was so angry when she saw that a kid dared to play with her, she stepped forward to tease Liu San.

Village chief Chen stopped him, and he asked Liu San to continue talking.

"Auntie's words are wrong. They are inconsistent with the national policy. What the state encourages now is contracting households. It's not about wanting to be landlords, but to find a way of development through our own efforts. Aunt Xu, you say that we want to be landlords, and we are doing sabotage! "

Uncle Liu saw Xu Huaihua slackened by the second child, not to mention how happy he was, he still pretended to stop Liu San, "Second brother, don't talk so badly!"

"Okay Dad." Liu San readily agreed, he had already finished speaking, and he had nothing to say.

The village chief was afraid that his daughter-in-law would go crazy and start a fight with the Liu family and his son, so he asked the Liu family and his son to go back and wait for news from him.

Village Chief Chen acted very quickly. After lunch, he went to the production team to find Captain Huang. The two sat in the office and discussed for a long time before deciding to ask the town leaders for instructions. After all, this kind of thing is still common in the village. For the first time, they really did not understand the latest policy of their superiors.

The mayor explained the latest policy to the two people face to face, and only then did they realize that what Liu San said was true, so the two went to Liu's house in person, and agreed with Dad Liu to pay for the land on the mountain.

"Village chief, captain, let's sign an agreement. It will be a guarantee for the village and the team."

The two of them looked at each other, and felt that this kid was really too smart, and it really had to be put on paper.In case the Liu family's orchard fails to harvest and doesn't give the village the money for the land, wouldn't he have to bear the responsibility?

In a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, the two parties signed an agreement on land contracting.

Chen family.

Seeing that her man came back very late, Xu Huaihua asked casually if there was something wrong in the village, and when she learned that the Liu family had really contracted the land, Xu Huaihua ran away in anger and scolded her man for elbowing her. turn outside.

Village head Chen was very helpless, squatting under the door and smoking a stuffy cigarette.

Xu Huaihua was also very aggrieved, she couldn't stay in this house any longer, she slammed the door out in a fit of anger, one of her feet had just stepped out of the threshold, and before the other could lift up, she tripped over the threshold, she The injured arm hit the ground straight, and there was the sound of bones cracking.
