After I Lost My Job, I Went Home To Farm

After a night of wind and rain, the sky was as blue as a wash.

The vegetables in the vegetable field were irrigated by rain, and they swelled again last night. The yellow-brown soil is already a shade of green, and the green leaves are crystal clear, reflecting colorful light. The words fell along the swaying leaves and dripped into the soil.

Gu Yinan wore light blue rain boots and walked around in the freshly pulled vegetable field to check if there were any vegetable seedlings that had been blown down by the wind. Fortunately, the vegetable seedlings were all strong and did not fall down too much.

The fallen vegetable seedlings were straightened and planted, and the broken vegetable seedlings were pulled out and replaced again. After a while, they were picked up again.

When I got home, I took off my rain boots, cleaned the soil on my rain boots with water, and put them under the fence to dry.

Grandma Gu, who was sitting under the eaves peeling soybeans, looked at Gu Yinan, who came back from working in the fields, "Nannan, aren't you going to rent a fruit orchard? The village chief should be at home today, so go to the village chief's house and ask. ."

Gu Yinan washed his hands, "Okay, I'll go in a moment."

Grandma Gu was uneasy, and warned: "Because Xiao Li belongs to a foreign village, he has to pay a security deposit of 30,000 yuan for renting the land. People in this village should not be able to pay so much for rent. In addition, the rent for each house is 2,000 yuan. You will wait a moment. Don't be deceived in the past."

"I know, grandma." Gu Yinan went back to the house, changed into clean clothes, and carried a carton of milk to the village chief's house. The village chief's house had a grandmother in her 80s, the oldest in the village, even if it wasn't for the sake of When doing business, you should also bring some gifts when you come to the door out of courtesy.

The village chief kept a **** dog, and when he smelled the stranger's breath, he barked and barked.

The village chief's daughter-in-law heard the movement, walked into the courtyard, and identified it carefully: "Is it Nannan from the Gu family?"

Gu Yinan nodded and said yes, and said that he was here to find the village chief.

"It's changed so much, I almost can't recognize it." The village chief's wife pulled the **** dog into the corner of the yard and tied it up, "Da Hei, don't bark, it's a guest."

After the dog was tied up, the village chief's daughter-in-law called Gu Yinan into the courtyard, "Don't be afraid, it barks fiercely and won't bite."

Gu Yinan glanced at the grinning **** dog, and threatened the **** dog with a small achievement of his own cultivation, and then called the **** dog back into the nest with a whimper.

Alas, I can only scare the dog.

Gu Yinan followed the village chief's daughter-in-law into the house and handed her the milk, "This is the milk for Grandma Wang."

"Nannan, you're too polite, come here, and bring some milk." Having said that, the village chief's daughter-in-law picked it up quickly and brought it directly into the house.

The village chief quickly returned from the back of the house with a hoe. It seemed that he was cleaning the ditch behind the house. "What's the matter?"

Gu Yinan directly explained his intention, "Village chief, I heard from grandma that Xiaoli's family doesn't plan to rent the fruit forest anymore, and I want to take the fruit forest next."

The village chief had heard before that Gu Yinan, a good college student, did not earn money to buy a house, but ran back to his hometown in the countryside to grow vegetables. The elders in the village were not optimistic. How much can he sell for growing vegetables? What can be gained?

Everyone thought that Gu Yinan must have been bad outside, so he came back. After all, who would want to come back, a young man who was doing well?

So the village chief couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't you going to work outside?"

"No, grandma is getting old and I'm not at ease at home alone." Gu Yinan gave a very common reason.

"Can you take your grandma out?"

"Grandma doesn't want to go, she always says it's better to stay in the village."

"The air in the village is good, and you can support yourself by growing a few vegetables and grains. It's not like going to the city, where you have to pay for everything." The village chief paused, "Do you really want to rent an orchard? agriculture, right?"

"No, I'll just ask someone who knows how to do it." Gu Yinan bypassed the topic, "Village Chief, is Xiao Li sure not to rent now?"

"It's confirmed, that's why he hasn't found a new tenant, so it's delayed until now." The village chief said this, and looked at Gu Yinan's eyes that became more and more heated, as if he was staring at a piece of meat, "If you really If you want to rent, then I'll call Xiao Li, and we'll sign a new contract later."

"Did your grandma tell you about the security deposit and rent?" The village chief briefly introduced the situation of renting Guolin: "Our contract is signed for 20 years at one time, and we will pay liquidated damages if we terminate the contract before it expires, but we both It is a humane person, if there are indeed special circumstances, like this time Xiao Li broke the contract because of the operation, he can find a new lessee to take over, and he does not need to pay the liquidated damages."

"In addition, the fruit forests on our back mountain add up to a total of 190 mu, because the villagers' fruit forests are about the same number, we pay rent by household, each household is 2,000 yuan a year, and there are a total of 30 households in the village. , it is 60,000 yuan a year, and there is also a security deposit of 50,000 yuan, which will be refunded to you when the contract expires, and this crop of oranges on the mountain is also grown by Xiao Li’s family, if you want to rent it, you may have to pay Pay a little extra, and if you don't want to, wait until the Li family picks the oranges."

Gu Yinan raised his eyebrows slightly, the matter of oranges is easy to talk about, but the margin has also risen?

"And wasn't the security deposit 30,000 before? Why is it now 50,000?"

The village chief's daughter-in-law explained: "Li's rent was seven years ago. Now that prices are soaring, the security deposit will definitely increase."

"But I heard from my grandma that people in the village don't charge a security deposit for renting land. Why do you still charge me a security deposit?" Gu Yinan was afraid of trouble, but she was not a fool. will recognize.

The village chief did not expect that Gu Yinan had done his homework, and quickly responded: "Your household registration has not been relocated, right? If you can't do it according to this regulation, it will not work if you move out."

Gu Yinan smiled and listened to the excuses made by the village chief in a hurry: "No."

"Oh, that's not necessary." The village chief said: "Then you only need to pay the rent for the second year before the end of each year."

Gu Yinan has no problem, "Okay."

"How long do you plan to rent? Or just continue with the contract year before Xiao Li?"

Gu Yinan calculated that his spiritual stone should be able to last for more than ten years, "Let it be rented for twenty years."

The village chief was overjoyed, "Then I'll call Xiao Li and ask them to send someone over to get the contract."

Not long after the village chief finished the phone call, Xiao Li's wife came over, as did the villagers in the village, most of whom were the original owners of the fruit forest.

Grandma Liu asked, "Nannan, do you really want to rent a fruit forest? Why didn't you listen to your grandma before?"

Grandma Gu is a very strict person, she will not say anything that has not been officially decided.

Gu Yinan said, "It was decided temporarily."

Granny Wen took Gu Yinan's hand, "You are so courageous."

Granny Liu said: "Actually, as long as you take good care of it, Guolin's income is still good."

"That's true."

After a few people talked for a while, the village chief began to announce that Gu Yinan was renting the fruit forest. "The consequences are that the forest will be rented to Gu's family. If you have no opinion, come and sign it again."

Granny Liu was the first to agree: "It's the same as renting to anyone, as long as the rent can be collected."

"Village Chief, what about those who are not present?"

The village chief said: "I have already told them on WeChat. I will call them one by one later, and they agree that they can help sign on their behalf, or come back to sign after a long vacation in a few days."

"Village Chief, how much is the rent?"

"It's still the same as before."

"It's still the same as before?" The old lady who didn't have a good relationship with Grandma Gu jumped up again, "The price of 2,000 yuan was seven years ago, so why should it be increased by 500 yuan now?"

"The original 2,000 yuan was all because of the high price you made. It's still appropriate to change it now. Do you want to increase it by 500 yuan? What do you think?" Grandma Gu was the first to disagree.

The old lady confronted Grandma Gu: "If you don't want to pay, of course it's appropriate. If you want me to tell you, you have to give 2,500, or I won't rent this orchard."

"Sister-in-law Ma, 2,000 yuan a year is already high enough, what else do you want to make? It's time-consuming and laborious for you to tend the fruit trees by yourself. Can you earn 2,000 yuan all year round?"

The old lady surnamed Ma let out a sigh, "Why can't she? It's not that her family has no money, she's willing to buy a new car, but she doesn't want to give us a little more rent, but she's really stingy."

After being yelled at by the old lady surnamed Ma, some old ladies who were already greedy and love to take advantage of petty things also became excited, and also echoed: "Yes, sister-in-law Gu, your family is in good condition now, it's renting land and it's different. If you buy a car, you have to take care of those of us who are having a hard time, five hundred dollars is not enough to refuel your car."

In fact, the villagers in the village are living a good life. Most of them have bought cars and houses in the city. The worst ones are also doing business in the town. They are not as pitiful as these old ladies say.

Gu Yinan glanced coldly at the old lady Ma, and snorted, "The rent stipulated in the village is 2,000 yuan, and I won't give more than that."

"If you can't give this price, we won't rent it to you." The old lady surnamed Ma thought she could threaten Gu Yinan, but Gu Yinan wouldn't give it or not at all. She asked her grandmother and confirmed These people's orchards are just on the edge, and it's not a problem if they don't rent, so they said: "If you don't rent, don't rent. Other mother-in-laws and aunts, if your family is willing to rent to me, come and sign a contract with me."

The old lady surnamed Ma was stunned there, why is this different from what she expected?

"We are so old that we can't pick up fat and climb trees. Instead of being half-tired, we might as well give you a cheap land rent." Granny Liu looked at Madam Ma dumbfounded and couldn't help laughing. She whispered to the mother-in-law on the side: "Some people are greedy for cheap and always want to take advantage of others."

Granny Wen also agreed, "We bought the land cheaply when we rented it, and now she's doing this again, thinking that everyone is used to her."

At the beginning, Xiao Li was talking about renting the fruit forest for 1,511 years, but Mrs. Ma was unwilling and insisted on asking for 2,000. In the end, it was too much trouble. It was given to Xiao Li, but it was not worth the money. Xiao Li thought that he could use it to plant some other fruit trees, and finally reluctantly agreed.

Now Gu Yinan's contract is similar to Xiao Li's contract, except that the deposit is missing, and the rest are exactly the same.

Seeing that Gu Yinan really didn't want to compromise, the village chief glanced impatiently at Mrs. Ma, who was still chattering, "If you want to rent, you can sign it, and if you don't want to rent, don't force it."

In the end, a few old ladies who were greedy for cheap were scolded by their sons and grandchildren, and they honestly signed and pressed their handprints. It's not good. Instead of fighting with Gu Yinan, it's better to rent it out and earn some rent.
