Rural Friends Circle

Chapter 53: Contracting the Forest

The next morning, Tang Feng got up early as usual, went to the spring to wash off the oil on his body, and started digging lotus roots and catching fish. After finishing these, the pickup truck of Qingyuan Villa also arrived.

Because he was no longer short of money, Tang Feng discussed with Liu Siyuan that he would no longer pay in cash in the future, but would use the method of transfer, and the settlement cycle would be extended from once a day to once a week.

The mulch of the newly reclaimed one acre of vegetable land had been laid, and the seeds had been planted. This morning, it was time to irrigate it.

While the women in the village had not come yet, he installed the diesel pump in advance, and chose the pond below the spring where the big fish were temporarily stored.

After blocking the outlet below, he took out a large ball of fairyland soil from the shack, mixed it with spring water in the basin, and poured it all into the pond after it was completely dissolved.

When the women came, he started the diesel pump and then drove away from the field.

The Tianjing Village Committee is located in the south of the village, close to the central cement road. When Tang Feng arrived at the committee, the village chief and the village party secretary were both here. After learning about his purpose, the village chief and the party secretary were surprised.

The eldest son of Tang Lao San's family wants to contract the 200 acres of forest behind their pond! And it has to be contracted for 50 years at a time. What is wrong with this world?

As the top two leaders of Tianjing Village, they know the hundreds of households in the village and their situations. Tang Feng's family is a well-known poor family. Not only is it poor, but it also owes a foreign debt of 300,000 yuan.

If they hadn't seen the brand new Envision outside, they would have thought that Tang Feng was joking with them, but now, they have to take it seriously.

"Tang Feng, this is not a trivial matter. Do you really want to contract that piece of forest? And it has to be contracted for 50 years?" Village chief Xing Jun took a glass of water from the water dispenser next to him and put it in front of Tang Feng, asking slowly.

It's really weird. Isn't it said that the eldest son of Tang Laosan's family has been tinkering around in his pond? How come he has driven a good car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan in the blink of an eye? Now, he even wants to contract a large piece of forest. Xing Jun looked at the Envision outside and muttered in his heart.

"Brother Jun, old branch secretary, how dare I joke about this kind of thing? I really want to contract that piece of forest. Why, is it that the policy does not allow it?" Looking at Xing Jun opposite, Tang Feng said seriously.

"That piece of forest has been abandoned for so many years. If you want to contract it, there must be no problem. However, if you want to contract it for fifty years, the contract fee is probably not a small amount." The old branch secretary sat next to him and said while smoking.

"Old branch secretary, smoke mine." Tang Feng took out a box of soft Zhonghua from his pocket, pushed it in front of the old branch secretary, and said with a smile.

Seeing the soft Zhonghua on the table, the old branch secretary's eyes lit up, grinning, and without being polite, he opened the soft Zhonghua directly, took out three cigarettes from it, handed one to Tang Feng and Xing Jun, and lit one himself, and then put the pack of soft Zhonghua into his pocket openly.

"Old branch secretary, Jun brother, then you tell me a specific price, as long as the price is right, I will pay all the 50-year contract fee in one go." Tang Feng continued.

Hearing that he wanted to pay the 50-year contract fee in one go, Xing Jun and the old branch secretary were both surprised. My goodness, what kind of business did this kid from the Tang family make to make so much money.

"The mountain forest is barren anyway. Since you want to contract it, and the contract fee is paid in one go, that forest plus the entire wasteland from your family's pond to the reservoir will be contracted to you at a price of 15,000 yuan a year. Do you think it's worth it?" The old branch secretary took a puff of cigarette and said slowly.

More than 100 mu of uncultivated wasteland, plus more than 100 mu of forest land, the annual contract price of 15,000 yuan is already a conscience price. This is also the one-time payment of the contract fee. Otherwise, if it is not 20,000 yuan, don't even think about it.

"Okay, let's take this price." Without hesitation, he readily agreed to the price given by the old branch secretary.

Next, it is to get the land contract. Because it is the village head and the branch secretary, no one else has the opportunity to ask. After the contract is ready and signed and sealed by both parties, Tang Feng drove the village head, the branch secretary and the village accountant to the bank.

After 750,000 yuan was transferred into the village account, Xing Jun and the old branch secretary were completely reassured. The two smiled and their attitude towards Tang Feng became closer. When leaving the bank, Xing Jun dragged Tang Feng to dinner. Tang Feng couldn't resist, so he followed.

After dinner, he returned to the field. It was already past two in the afternoon. The vegetable field had been watered and the ridges on both sides had been repaired. Next, he just had to wait for the vegetable seeds to sprout, and then prune and support them.

Standing next to the pond, looking to the right, from where he stood to the reservoir, the more than 100 acres of land would belong to him for the next fifty years. Looking to the other side, the large forest with short-necked trees behind the shack would also belong to him.

The land had been contracted, and next, it was time to manage it well. First, a circle of walls had to be built around the pond, and some thorny pepper trees had to be planted outside the walls. In this way, he would not be afraid of being spied on if he wanted to do anything here.

While he was planning his own piece of land, Zheng Guagua in Pingyang City was in dire straits. Since he came back yesterday afternoon, this young master has been free every second.

On Foshan Road, he was knocked unconscious by the bat for no apparent reason. He was sent to the hospital by several followers. But before he arrived at the hospital, he had another car accident halfway through the journey and collided with a cart carrying manure.

What made him most crazy was that none of the four people in the car were injured, but he was the only one injured. Not only was he injured, but he was also covered in manure.

When he arrived at the hospital, he hadn't recovered yet. When he went up the stairs, he stepped on empty air and rolled down directly from the stairs. When he was helped up by several followers, he was already bruised and swollen.

And this was just the beginning. In the following time, almost every little while, something unexpected would happen around him, and every time, he was the most miserable person.

He experienced all these jokes personally, such as getting stuck in the teeth when drinking cold water, choking when eating bread, and eating bones when scrambled eggs. When he went to bed at night, the originally solid big bed collapsed with a bang after he lay down on it, and he was buried in the bed.

After finally getting through the night, he got up early in the morning and went downstairs. Once again, he stepped on empty air and rolled down the stairs. Once again, he lost the lottery. This time, he was completely panicked.
