174 Wasteland Reclamation 2
"The rent of wasteland is not expensive, and acre of land costs ten yuan a year, but the price will be transferred every five years, and it cannot be guaranteed to be the same."
"It's already very good to adjust it once in five years. I'll come to you tomorrow afternoon." Mu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the price.
"Okay." Chen Xiangyang responded.
When Mu Xiu returned home, Chen Xuhui was carrying water to pour water into the water tank, and Mu Xiaocao was cleaning up the feces in the shed.
Mushui was checking how the bricks were drying. When Mushui saw Mushui come over, Mushui asked, "Xiu, you are back, one-half of the bricks can be used. Look at what time to start building them."
"Then let's go today, or I'll get busy in a few days." Mu Xiu could no longer bear it and could only make a basin in the kitchen to take a bath. Seeing that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, I would get the bathroom out early, which was a big deal.
Nowadays, the toilet and pigpen in the yard are next to each other, and all the feces are dropped in the septic tank behind them as fertilizer. Every time Mu Xiu goes to the toilet, he looks at the dark hole behind him, and he is worried that if he can't stand steadily, if he falls, Mu Xiu feels unbearable to look at him just by thinking about it.
Where is the bathroom built? Mu Xiuxuan's location is on the south side of the kitchen, where there is a sewage ditch. On weekdays, the water in the kitchen is poured into the sewage ditch and flows outside. On the south side of Mu Shui's house is a large pit bush and a small piece of trees. The sewage will eventually flow there, just irrigating the bush.
The main bathroom is close to the kitchen, making it convenient to burn hot water.
The family did it as soon as they were done. Mushui set the position and started digging the soil with Chen Xuhui. Since the bathroom was not big, the foundation was dug in the afternoon and dug out a rectangular character "未分类". The solid soil was retained in the middle of the character "未分类 and hollowed out the four sides. After digging, Mu Xiu poured all the mixed cement in and filled all the empty positions with mixed cement. Next, after the cement was dry, firmly glued it with the soil in the middle, and then began to use bricks to cover the room on the ground.
Cement is consumed very quickly. Fortunately, no one except Mu Xiu knows how much it has been used. After all, it is not easy to distinguish when mixed with soil, Mu Xiu secretly took out five bags and put them under the eaves.
It was getting darker and the toilet could only be cleaned tomorrow. Zhou Shuilian prepared the meal and everyone was exhausted. After eating, they washed and went to bed.
The next morning, Mushui and Chen Xuhui got up. When Mu Xiu woke up, they had already dug the foundation around the toilet. The difference was that the septic tank was not dug up, but it was still the same.
Mu Xiu quickly started to stir the cement, and we poured the cement into the ditch on three sides and waited for drying.
Mu Xiu planned to be unable to change the position of the toilet, so he opened the toilet door and the pigpen door on the opposite side, so that he would share a septic tank, and there would be no smell on both sides. The floor of the toilet was flat, leaving two squat pits, and sealing the large mouth behind, so that it looked clean and beautiful, and there was no need to worry about falling down again.
After finishing all this, it was already noon. Mushui and Chen Xuhui began to chop firewood. Mu Xiu leaned forward and said to Mushui, "Dad, it's been more than half of the time for spring farming. I went to find the village party secretary yesterday and told him that our family was going to open up the land. The village party secretary went to the county town to complete the procedures today."
"Really? That's great. Our family has finished tidying up this acre of land in a few days. Seeing other people working hard in the fields, I feel really anxious. Just plant it with the land." Mu Shui rubbed his hands excitedly when he heard this.
"I directly asked for fifteen acres of land, our family planted twelve acres, and Brother Chen planted three acres." Mu Xiu looked at Chen Xuhui and said.
Chen Xuhui raised his head in disbelief. He had heard that Mu Xiu's family had grown fifteen acres of land, but he was a little envious in his heart. He also wanted to have a variety of acres of land. After all, crops and grains can be seen by the naked eye, and they will not deceive people the most. As long as you are diligent, you will gain something.
Mu Xiu's words made him really overjoyed. He stuttered a little, "Is it true?"
"Of course it's true. We both work together to open up the land!" Mu Xiu said with a smile.
"Xiu, where is that place?" Mushui asked.
"In the afternoon, I will go to the village party secretary, sign the contract first, and then take you to see the land." Mu Xiu replied.
"You guys are talking about something, so happy, wash your hands and have dinner quickly." Zhou Shuilian came out of the kitchen with rice in hand. Seeing the smiles on Mushui and the others' faces, she asked curiously.
"Let's go, eat and talk." Mushui and Zhou Shuilian entered the main hall first, and Chen Xuhui and Mu Xiu went to the kitchen to serve dishes.
"Thank you." Chen Xuhui said softly to Mu Xiu.
"Living well, being happy is more important than anything else." Mu Xiu really thought it was not easy for Chen Xuhui, but since his father came to make trouble last time, Chen Xuhui became more and more silent, and Mu Xiu could not enlighten him, so he could only hope that time could take away his trauma.
"Yeah." Chen Xuhui nodded heavily.
After dinner, Mu Xiu was urged more than ten times before he had no choice but to go to the village party secretary's house. She was originally planning to go there later, but everyone in the family, including Chen Xuhui, could not wait.
"Uncle Chen, there is no lunch break." Mu Xiu looked at Chen Xiangyang with a dusty face and said hello.
"You girl, think about coming here. I'll just come in for a while, and you'll be here." Chen Xiangyang said jokingly.
"This is a coincidence." It wouldn't be such a coincidence if my family hadn't urged her to come.
"Come on, this is your document, look at it." Chen Xiangyang took out a document from his bag and handed it to Mu Xiu.
Mu Xiu got it, looked it up, and after confirming it, he took out the 150 yuan he had prepared from his pocket and handed it to Chen Xiangyang. "Uncle Chen, you can pay the five-year rent every year, please count it."
"You girl, you are careful and you will not be wrong." Chen Xiangyang took the money and put it in his bag, sighing, "Our village still has a large population, a small land, and is too poor. Other villages have bought tractors, but our village, alas."
"Uncle Chen, you mentioned last year that you wanted to buy a tractor, why?" Mu Xiu asked curiously. Last year, Chen Xiangyang mobilized the whole village and proposed to buy a tractor for the village, but he hasn't bought it yet.
"This tractor is too expensive. I originally wanted to buy the Dongfanghong-75 tractor, but the new 28 tractor is more suitable for the land in our village, but each tractor costs more than 10,000 yuan!" Chen Xiangyang was a little ashamed.
"Mu Xiu, I know you are capable. In the past six months, you have bought a house and rented a land. Most of the people in the village have not earned more than you, a girl. Do you give me some advice?"
