Chapter 101 Seedlings

On the way, the village chief said: "Kang Sheng, the risk of farming now is indeed very high. You can see it just by looking at the Zhang family. They invested a lot of money in the early stage, and now they have transferred it for more than 20,000 yuan. They are just afraid of the future." If you lose money again, you can take advantage of it now. Although he has his own reasons for losing money, you should think about it again. "

Qiao Kangsheng glanced at his granddaughter, saw her shaking her head, and said with a smile: "Village Chief, I understand your kindness. Don't worry, our family has been very lucky recently, and we want to give it a try."

Hearing this, the village chief stopped trying to persuade him.

As the village chief, he selfishly hopes that someone can contract those lands, so that the village’s income can also increase.

 Qiao Kangsheng and his wife are different from Zhang Fugui and his wife. They are both hard-working and honest people. Maybe they can really make money from farming.

Soon after, the two families signed an agreement in the presence of the village chief and village cadres.

Qiao Ningxun originally wanted Qiao Kangsheng or Qiao Shulan to sign it.

But before coming, Qiao Kangsheng said that he had other sons, and if anything happened, those people would come over to fight for the property.

Qiao Shulan also said that since she paid for the contract herself, it was her turn to sign.

Qiao Ningxun also felt that it made sense, so he directly wrote down his name.

After signing the contract, Qiao Ningxun took out the cash from the bag, actually from the space, and gave it to the Zhang family.

The Zhang family breathed a sigh of relief when they got the money and left quickly.

This is good, this hot potato is finally thrown out.

By the way, Qiao Ningxun also gave him the contract fee for the next year.

As soon as I walked out of the village office, people who used to work for the Zhang family when they were contracted gathered around, including Wei Dongchen’s parents, Wei Facai and Gu Xiaoyan.

Wei Dongchen asked very embarrassedly: "Sister Ningxun, did you really contract the land?"

Qiao Ningxun nodded: "That's right."

Wei Dongchen hoped: "Then...then can you continue to let my parents go to work?"

The other four people next to him also said: "There is also me, I also want to continue working."

"I want, too."

“You have to continue to recruit people anyway, so just leave us to work.”

“Yes, we will work hard.”

Qiao Ningxun looked them over. Except for Wei Dongchen's parents, the other four people had never had any contact with their Qiao family. He said in a calm tone: "I don't know how you worked before, so I will give you seven days." During the trial period, it’s eighty yuan a day. If you pass the trial period, I will decide whether to continue using you and whether to give you a raise.”

Wei Dongchen's family of three were overjoyed at the same time. Their family was famous for their diligence, otherwise the Zhang family would not have come to see them.

The probation period is only 80 yuan a day, which is much more generous than Zhang Fugui.

They have been working for five years, and their current daily wage is only 40 yuan a day.

The other four people looked a little ugly.

Although the daily wage given by Lao Qiao's family is higher than that given by Zhang's family, the four of them are more or less related to Zhang's family, and they have leverage against Zhang's family. Even if they are lazy, Zhang Fugui would not dare to accuse them.

Even if they deliberately gave the work to the Wei family, the Wei family did not dare to complain. They also know that Wei Dongchen and Lao Qiao's grandson are classmates, so they won't be able to blatantly bully the Wei family in the future.

Qiao Ningxun saw their expressions of embarrassment and asked, "What? Is there any inconvenience? If I can't meet my requirements, then I will have to find someone else."

One person said: "It's nothing inconvenient. When does the probation period start?"

"Starting from tomorrow, I will plan what you should do tomorrow. But I don't know you yet. I am also your new boss. You can all introduce yourself. Just tell your name and age. From now on Start on my left."

“My name is Li Guili, I am forty-eight years old.”

“My name is Zhang Shengcai, I am fifty years old and I am Li Guili’s husband.”

“My name is Huang Qinfang, I am fifty years old this year.”

“My name is Zhang Yushan, I am fifty-two years old, and I am Huang Qinfang’s husband.”

“My name is Gu Xiaoyan, I am forty-eight years old.”

“My name is Wei Facai, I am fifty years old and I am Gu Xiaoyan’s husband.”

 Qiao Ningxun nodded, "I remember, the Wei family will stay, and the others can go back first. We will meet in front of my house at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Eight o'clock!

The Wei family were overjoyed at the same time. Does this mean that they no longer have to work at seven o'clock every day?

Zhang Yushan said with a flattering look on his face: "Ningxun, if you want to find someone familiar, you should find us. The Wei family is the last one to go to work and is not as familiar with us."

"No need." Qiao Ningxun said expressionlessly: "I don't ask any questions, I just want to talk to them."

Hearing this, the four people could say nothing more and went home.

Qiao Ningxun took his family and the Wei family for another walk in the fields.

 Coming to the front of the fruit forest, Qiao Ningxun saw that the Wei family looked at the fruit forest with unhappy expressions, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the fruit forest?"

Wei Facai said apologetically: "Ningxun, I'm sorry, the Zhang family was there just now. We were afraid that he wouldn't pay us the money that was withheld, so we didn't dare to say some things to you in front of him."

Qiao Ningxun asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"

"Some of these fruit trees were bought from the Internet by Zhang Fugui for petty gain. They are all ungrafted seedlings. If you have never planted the ground, you may not know that it is difficult for seedlings to bear fruit. Even if some can bear fruit, they still have to be planted. many years."

Qiao Kangsheng knew about the seedlings and frowned: "How many seedlings are there?"

Wei Facai said: "I roughly calculated that there are hundreds of trees, all of which were planted five years ago when the Zhang family first contracted the contract. Some of them bloomed and bore fruit last year and this spring, but no matter what we do, No matter how you take care of it, the fruits will either fall off within a few days of growing, or they will fall off when the weather gets hot, and you won’t be able to keep them every year.”

Gu Xiaoyan said: "Yes, most of them can't bear fruit, but taking care of the fruit trees is not as tiring as growing vegetables. What the Zhang family thought at the beginning was that it would bear fruit sooner or later, so they didn't let anyone come over to graft them."

"There are other fruit trees. The Zhang family bought them from a local fruit tree company after they found out that they had been deceived. However, the seedlings were not very good. He bought the cheapest ones. Some of them were grafted by others, but the grafted ones were not very good. Very good, the fruit has started to bear fruit since last year, and the fruits are all very sour and cannot be sold at a high price.”

Hearing this, Qiao Ningxun opened the door of the orchard and asked as he walked: "What do you mean, for the seedlings, it is best to find someone to graft them once before those trees can bear fruit? As for other trees, it is best to find someone to graft them again. , will produce better fruit next year, right?”

Wei Facai said: "This is just the idea of ​​the two of us. You can discuss it and consider our proposal, but it doesn't matter if you don't consider it. These seedlings have been several years old, and maybe they will be able to bear fruit normally in two years."
