Little Life on An American Ranch

Jian Heng returned home, took a shower and was about to go back to his room to sleep when he heard his father calling him, so he went to the living room and sat on the armrest of the sofa.

"Son, I have something to discuss with you." Jian Zhenhua patted the seat beside him, motioning his son to sit closer.

At this moment, Sun Xiuying appeared at the door. It seemed that she was about to take a bath. Seeing the father and son sitting together, and the son's clothes were still a little thin, she said, "Put on more, don't catch a cold. No matter how old you are, it doesn’t make you worry.”

"I see." Jian Heng responded casually. Seeing his mother entering the bathroom with the clothes, he turned to his father and asked, "What's the matter with you, can't you talk about it tomorrow?"

"It's not a big deal, isn't your Uncle Shi here today?" Jian Zhenhua said.

Jian Heng wiped the water on his head with a towel, hummed, and waited for his father to say more.

Jian Zhenhua said: "Your Uncle Shi is currently in charge of land contracting in the county. Today he asked me to contract a little land, about 3,000 mu!"

"You rented land? You have nothing to do. What land did you rent? Isn't it a bad day now? If you think you have nothing to do, go play chess with a bunch of old men, or you and my mother will go around, what kind of Europe?" Ah, Xinmatai, where do you want to go, your son is not short of money now!" Jian Heng thought that his father thought the small shop at home was meaningless, so he opened his mouth to suggest.

Now Jian Heng really has money in his pocket. Although there are many things that cannot be spent all at once, it is not a problem at all for the old couple to travel around the world.

Regarding the current situation in the countryside, Jian Heng has learned a little about it in a few days. The next step may be to concentrate land management, and slowly move towards a large-scale farm economy. Large-scale land lease is a trend.

But after thinking about it for a moment, Jian Heng didn't understand, because land contracting is still full of fire. If there are thousands of acres of land, I don't know how many people are rushing for the bag. How could such a big pie fall to his old man? Dad's head.

What's more, I don't have this kind of friendship with Uncle Shi's family. Thinking about it, Ningning doesn't know Uncle Shi. It can be seen that many people in the two families have no contact with each other. up.

Thinking of this, Jian Heng stopped wiping his head with his hands, turned his head and looked at his father up and down.

Jian Zhenhua was a little puzzled by his son's look. He lowered his head to examine himself, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Are you bragging about something with Uncle Shi, or is there some shady deal between you two?" Jian Heng asked.

When Jian Zhenhua heard this, he immediately turned his head and put on a very unhappy look: "Your Uncle Shi and I are friends of gentlemen, what kind of shady deal is there?"

At this moment, Sun Xiuying came out of the bathroom. It seemed that she forgot to take something. As soon as she went out, she heard Jian Zhenhua's words of "friend of a gentleman", and immediately opened her mouth and said back: "You should show some face, friend of a gentleman? You, a friend of a gentleman, haven’t visited the house for eight or nine years. I can understand that you were afraid of getting involved when you had an accident, but what does that mean if we don’t see you later? I’m afraid we’ll be affected by our family’s poverty. You say, let his surname Shi say that he will go to heaven, so don’t interfere with him, and honestly go to the United States with your son, and we will wait for our grandson in the United States.”

After speaking, Sun Xiuying turned around and entered the room.

Jian Zhenhua's face was a little embarrassed when his wife slapped him like this. If what he said was wrong, Jian Zhenhua could refute it, but Sun Xiuying still told the truth, so she could only say to her wife's back: "You know what? what!"

After speaking, he turned his head to Jian Heng and said, "It's not a good place either, so there is a wasteland in the northwest of the canal, that's where it is."

As soon as he heard that it was the land there, Jian Heng immediately understood that this is really not a good land! Although the location of the place is good, it is about ten kilometers away from Jian Heng's house across the canal.

A matter of ten minutes by car.

"I said, it turned out that a hole was dug here for you!" Jian Heng pouted and said.

Jian Heng really remembers that piece of land very clearly. The old Yellow River used to be an abandoned river course. Later, the Yellow River changed its course and left such a waterway. Over time, it became a waste land. When Jian Heng was young, the one-child policy was adopted at that time. Tight, so you can see one or two dead children over there from time to time.

The most important thing is that there used to be a mass grave there, and the little devils did not seldom kill people there. Although it was cleaned up once after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is certain that no one contracted this kind of land, even if it was contracted and planted Things, who doesn't feel disgusted when they hear the things grown on the mass graves in the past?

"What is a pit? It's pretty good there now, and everything that needs to be cleaned up has been cleaned up. Now the county is going to build a wetland park there..." Jian Zhenhua said.

"Dad, even if it's done, we don't want that piece of land, the mass grave before liberation, and the place where many people threw dead children there later, you are not afraid of hurting your morals!" Now Jian Heng feels a little bit like this Uncle Shi There's no way out, what the hell, you old bastard just got my dad to contract a piece of land like this every few years?

Let's not talk about superstition or not, but just say that when I think of the past, should this land be suitable for people?

"I think it's pretty good. If you don't do it, I won't do it, but someone has to do it. It's a waste for the country to leave such a large piece of land there. Complaints, but I can’t have you if you have one, I’m a rural kid who has nothing, and I’ve grown up to be fed, clothed, clothed, and comfortable, one must have a conscience!…” Jian Zhenhua began to show off his feelings again .

Sometimes, it is difficult for Jian Heng to understand the logic of his father. He always thinks that a good life is given to him. Jian Heng believes that all life is earned by his own hard work. Giving you rice for no reason? A person's development is related to society, but Jian Heng believes that personal struggle is more important.

Resisting the thought of arguing with his own father, Jian Heng comforted himself for a while before suppressing the anger in his heart. The heart was suppressed, but the anger in my heart always had to be vented, so I concentrated all the resentment on the person surnamed Shi, and at this moment, I raped the eight generations of ancestors surnamed Shi many times.

It's no wonder that Jian Heng cursed. His uncle Shi knew Jian Zhenhua's temperament clearly. He heard that Jian Zhenhua's son had made a fortune in the United States, so he set his mind on Jian Zhenhua.

The old man said that three years old is old, not to mention that the surname Shi and Jian Zhenhua have been colleagues for almost ten years, and he knows what is wrong with Jian Zhenhua.

For this man, his main task now is to complete the county's targets. Naturally, some people rush to rent and plant good fields. People like this kind of fields are not in a hurry, and they want to rent and plant thousands of acres of land at once. There are a few that have no access. Besides, even though the land is an old river course, there is still a shortage of water. If you want to bring water here, the investment is not worth it.

For ordinary people, if they don’t rent a good field for irrigation, renting this thing, isn’t their brain sick!

Now Jian Zhenhua is the one with the mental illness, the surname Shi didn't give gifts and didn't cry and beg, he just talked about the whole afternoon with feelings and tricked Jian Zhenhua into it.

"Let's go to the United States for a while and then talk about it?" Jian Heng knows his father too well. If he is given a good land, he really won't want it. Instead, this kind of land, plus the sentence that the motherland needs you, is stunned. It can make his blood boil.

Jian Heng sees that my father, who has lived to such an old age, is stunned and doesn't understand. Usually, the people who come to you and say this sentence are all because they don't want to be needed by the motherland, and they are fooling others into the battle, or this surname Shi Why don't you rent it out yourself, and why don't your relatives be needed by the motherland!

What a bunch of bastards! Jian Heng cursed inwardly.

Everything went smoothly until now Jian Heng, who was confused, is finally at ease now, but Jian Heng can't lift the table, and when faced with his father's offense, the Chinese-style son with a little filial piety can't help it. There is no reason for a stubborn son.

"It's just right, let's go to the United States to investigate. I have heard that the American agriculture is doing well." Jian Zhenhua laughed happily after hearing this.

Looking at the smiling face of his own father, Jian Heng murmured to himself: American agriculture is doing well, how can you learn from this 3,000-acre bad land? The few thousand acres of farms in the United States are replaced by tens of thousands of acres in China, and almost all of them are in the Great Plains!

What is your place, it was originally a rotten river valley, but now it still lacks water, and it is still diverting water from the wetland.

But seeing his father's happy appearance, Jian Heng could only mutter in his heart, doing nothing to make trouble for his father, Jian Heng still can't do it!

The only thing I can do is to hate the person surnamed Shi to the bottom of my heart: I fucking threw your child surnamed Shi into the well, you old man is such a fool!

"I don't express my opinion here, and let me explain that I don't have the money to invest in this land now." Jian Heng thought about it and thought of restricting his own father financially.

But Jian Zhenhua said: "You don't need to worry about the money, I can handle it, and now I just want to get your consent."

"I don't agree. You'd better get my mother's consent first. You also know that my words are useless. If you get my mother done, you will get the green light all the way." After Jian Heng heard this, he was not interested in talking to his father anymore, because he said Going down, Jian Heng was afraid that his lungs would be blown.

After speaking, Jian Heng turned around and entered the room, and after closing the door, Jian Heng cursed: "You bastard surnamed Shi, just wait until one day I get caught!"
