The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 311 The Landlord in the Variety Show (9)

With the word "silly girl", Su Xiangran understood what Grandma Mei meant.

After saying goodbye to her with a smile, I went to the village committee.

Su Jiuxin had just finished discussing with several cadres and was about to look for Su Xiangran.

"Uncle, how is the contracted land going?" Su Xiangran asked directly.

"Actually, this land is a small matter." Su Jiuxin suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Ran girl, if you have been to that place and have a look, you should know that there is a barren mountain behind this land!"

"Mountain? That small mound with few trees and a lot of gravel." Su Xiangran thought for a while and asked uncertainly.

Su Jiuxin suddenly changed the subject: "You said before that you wanted to raise some chickens, ducks and geese. How many do you plan to raise?"

"I don't have any idea, probably no more than ten." Su Xiangran counted on her fingers, but she immediately had a bad feeling. Could it be that her second uncle wanted her to contract that small mound to raise chickens?

"Actually, since you have the ability, raising ten chickens is not enough!" Su Jiuxin suggested, "There is a poverty alleviation project in the village now. If you raise more, I will help you get a policy to give you discounts on eggs, chicks, etc."

Su Xiangran probed: "I only have such a small space, and I have to grow vegetables and raise chickens. It's too small!"

"It's okay, isn't there a mountain behind us?" Su Jiuxin breathed a sigh of relief and finally said what he wanted to say, "Of course I don't mean to force you at all, it depends on your personal willingness, but that piece of land is with the mountain.

If that doesn’t work, I’ll find you another place to grow vegetables, at the other end of the village.”

Other places? No way, it's not as convenient as that place! And where else can you find such a good location?

Su Xiangran counted the money in her hand and asked through gritted teeth, "Uncle, how much would it cost to contract this land and mountain together?"

Su Jiuxin originally said this to her because he did not expect Su Xiangran to really contract the hill, and he was also prepared for her to choose another location.

For this purpose, he has already found several places and wants her to choose by herself.

As a result, when Su Xiangran said this, Su Jiuxin was stunned.

The village party secretary nearby knew what Su Jiuxin was thinking, so he hadn't said anything just now. But after listening to what Su Xiangran said, he felt that renting out the mountain was a possibility.

Village Party Secretary Su Yue spoke before he could, "Xiao Ran! You've seen this hill, it's only about this size. When we measured it two years ago, it was only about a hundred acres."

"How much rent does it cost for that acre of barren hill? How many years does it take to rent it?" Su Xiangran asked.

"Ran girl, don't listen to Su Yue's nonsense." Su Jiuxin finally came back to his senses. "They saw that you have been renovating your house and buying so many things recently, so they want to rent the mountain to you. Don't ask anymore, I will take you to choose another place."

"Village head, what you said is not right." Su Yue frowned slightly, "Everyone is working for the development of the village. The mountains in other villages are basically rented out, and only ours is still empty. When the meeting comes, you will be criticized again."

"Being criticized is better than cheating people." Su Jiuxin is a principled man. "What's there on the mountain? There are only rocks and a few broken trees. In the early years, there were still people willing to invest, but the roads in our village are not good, so fewer people came slowly."

"The villagers also want to build roads, but they don't have the money!" Su Yue felt aggrieved when she thought of this. "We used to be similar to several other villages, but they have gradually become rich in recent years, and we..."

"That shouldn't embarrass a child." Su Jiuxin slammed the table and said, "I've made up my mind. Ran, I'll take you to choose a new location."

"Uncle, that's not necessary." Su Xiangran was afraid that the two would quarrel, so she tried to persuade them. "I know Su Yue is doing this for the good of the village. This is not a lie. The mountain is there, and the money is with me. I know you won't force me to buy or sell."

"Yes! Village chief, don't get too excited." Su Yue quickly followed suit, "What do you mean, Xiao Ran?"

"Let's look at the price first!" Su Xiangran said directly, "If the price is right, we can rent it and it will work."

"After all, she went to university in the city and is very capable." Su Yue praised Su Xiangran.

Then several people began to discuss contracting the barren mountain.

The mountain connecting this wasteland is not very high and not very big, and it seems that you can see the end at a glance.

Of course, this was what everyone saw. When Su Yue took out the map and saw it, Su Xiangran realized that the impressive hill actually had a name - Meishan.

It must be fake! There is no plum blossom on it!

"What's this name?" Su Xiangran was a little confused. "It sounds like there should be a plum tree!"

"Alas! That mountain was originally owned by a family named Mei." Su Yue explained, "During the war, all the people were killed. By the way, it seems that Grandma Mei in the village is related to them, but not very closely.

Originally there was a house on the mountain, but it was later burned down by the bandits."

Meishan has an altitude of only about 120 meters and the terrain is relatively flat. The so-called 120 meters is just a relatively high rock at one place.

Meishan does not cover a large area, only about one hundred acres.

"If you really plan to rent the entire lot, I'll count the two or three acres of wasteland on the mountain as mountain land." Su Yue lobbied, "It's not more than a hundred acres, I'll give you a round number: one hundred acres."
