Chapter 99： contract

The two of them were immediately overjoyed, "Thank you very much, Sister Ningxun."

Wei Dongchen hesitated and said, "Sister Ningxun, I'm afraid I won't have that much time to come here in the future."

Qiao Ningxun asked with concern: "What's wrong? Do you have your own arrangements for making up classes?"

"No." Wei Dongchen said: "My parents originally worked on the land contracted by the village, but the person who contracted the land has not made any money in the past few years, so he stopped contracting the land and wanted to return it to the village. , my parents have no jobs. They haven’t studied much and plan to go to the city to find a job, but they are very introverted and honest, so they may not be able to find one, so I have to go out to find a summer job to prepare for my tuition for the next semester. and living expenses.”

Logically speaking, his parents should go out to work like other young people to earn more money.

However, they have gone out to work several times. The bosses saw that they were honest and introverted, so they delayed their wages several times, and sometimes they did not come back for a year.

They were worried and had not received any money. They remembered that they could not eat well or sleep well every day. They would make themselves sick every time, and gradually they no longer wanted to work in the city.

Later on, the Zhang family in the village recruited people to farm. Although it was not as much as the wages given in the city, every time the Zhang family refused to give money and asked the village chief to come forward, they would definitely receive it.

Gradually, they no longer have the intention to go out to work.

Qiao Ningxun's eyes suddenly lit up.

As long as you are a villager in Daguo Village, you can contract the land in Daguo Village.

However, now that the prices of various commodities are rising, including pesticides, ordinary contractors cannot make much money at all.

It is very common to lose all your money in the event of a natural disaster.

But she has magic. Farming is a sure way to make money, and it can also involve the whole family.

She was just thinking about where to contract some land for planting yesterday, but she didn't expect that as soon as she fell asleep, someone gave her a pillow.

Qiao Ningxun became interested and asked: "Does it mean that your parents' employer will no longer contract the land?"

"right."

“Then what do they plan to do with the land? Are they planning to transfer it out? Or will they let the village take it back?”

"They want to transfer a total of twenty acres of land, but there are still a lot of vegetables in the land, and there is also a fruit forest, which is about twenty acres. Many of the fruit trees are still bearing fruit, so the transfer fee is a bit expensive. . People in the village don’t dare to spend a lot of money to take over when they see that they can’t make any money. My parents say they are also in dire straits.”

Qiao Ningxun continued to ask: "How much transfer fee do they want?"

Wei Dongchen said: "One acre of land costs 5,000, and fruit groves cost 6,000. They signed a one-time contract of thirty years. Only five years have passed, and there are still twenty-five years left. The next twenty-five years will be as follows. A contractor pays a contract fee of 500 per acre per year for land and 600 per acre per year for orchards. If the payment is enough for one year at a time, the contractor can continue to use it in the second year. If there is a breach of contract, the village will have to pay liquidated damages. ”

Qiao Ningxun raised his eyebrows and said: "This will cost a total of 220,000 yuan, and the things in the field are probably not worth that much money. It will definitely take a lot of time and a lot of money to get back the money. It’s a big risk, so it’s normal for people in the village to be hesitant.”

Ye Caixiang snorted, "That contractor wants to get hundreds of thousands at once and recoup all his investment in recent years. It's really a beautiful idea."

"That's right." Qiao Kangsheng said: "No wonder no one took it over. Other people's money didn't come from strong winds. How could they easily give out 220,000 yuan?"

Qiao Ningxun thought for a moment and suddenly said seriously: "Wei Dongchen, please take me to see the contractor."

Qiao Kangsheng asked: "Ningxun, do you want to contract it?"

 Qiao Ningxun nodded: "I have this idea, but I still have to see if the things in the field are worthy of my contract."

It may be true that farming is not as profitable as her selling mushrooms, but after she goes to school, her family will definitely have to find something to do.

Especially Qiao Shulan, maybe she will return to her old career. The nanny job is really frustrating, so it would be better to let her do the work at home.

Qiao Kangsheng unconditionally agreed with his granddaughter’s idea, “Then let’s go and take a look. If it’s suitable, we’ll contract it.”

Qiao Ningxun nodded.

Wei Dongchen was immediately happy. If Lao Qiao's family could really take over, his parents would not lose their jobs in the future.

"Then come with me. Before I came, my parents went to find that family. There should be someone in that family's home now."

Qiao Ningxun said: "Then please lead the way."

"good."

In view of the fact that people who were wandering around the house would have to come over to transport the fungi later, Qiao Ningxun asked her cousin and mother to wait for the guests at home, and she took the others and followed Wei Dongchen to that house.

Guan Yiwen also went over to watch the excitement.

On the way, Qiao Kangsheng said: "Ningxun, that family's price is too expensive. The labor cost of the contracted land is very high now. I think that even if you bargain hard, they will probably agree. That family's character It’s not very nice, you don’t have to be too polite to them.”

If his granddaughter had no secret, he would not approve of her farming.

 But my granddaughter has a secret. The loquats she produced last time were able to earn their family several thousand a day. I believe that if she farmed, it would definitely be a profitable business.

Qiao Ningxun nodded.

The group of people soon arrived at the door of Zhang’s house.

Of course, before they went over, they also went to check out the land and orchards contracted by the Zhang family.

The Zhang family has indeed invested a lot in the early stage. Just the barbed wire fence surrounding the land must have cost a lot of money.

In order to prevent anyone from breaking the barbed wire fence and getting in, a lot of thorny vines were planted around the barbed wire fence.

Many vegetables in the field have been sold, and those that cannot be sold have been left empty and have not been sown. This shows that the Zhang family has long been willing to transfer and does not want others to take advantage of them.

However, there are still a lot of vegetables in the fields that will be harvested soon. They can be sold after more than ten or twenty days.

There are many kinds of fruit trees in the orchard, and they are also surrounded by barbed wire fences.

All the ripe fruits have been sold, leaving a small portion that will mature over time, and some that will not bear fruit until winter.

After roughly understanding the situation, the people from Lao Qiao's family quickly walked to Zhang's house.

At this time, the door of the Zhang family was wide open, and many people were sitting in the yard discussing things. The village chief was also inside.

No one from Lao Qiao’s family has gone in yet.

Zhang Fugui, the contractor of those lands, said: "Village Chief, I really want to continue the contracting, provide some job opportunities for the villagers, and make some money myself."

“But labor costs are too high now, and vegetables and fruit trees are easy to get sick. People often have to spray pesticides, which costs a lot of money every day.”

"That's it. The vegetables and fruits don't grow very well. I really have no choice. I don't have much money left."
