Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 310 Buying Wasteland

"Okay." Ji Wenhe responded.

Shen Rongshan picked up the tree stump and said, "You go first, watch your step."

The two of them walked down the mountain one after the other.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, we saw two big black dogs running towards us.

"Wang Wang."

"Uncle Da Nian is here."

The two big black dogs circled around her twice and then ran to the foot of the mountain in the west.

Ji Wenhe hurriedly shouted: "Come back, you are not allowed to go over there."

Chickens are eating at the foot of the mountain.

They were psychic and came back when they heard her shouting.

He warned again: "None of you are allowed to go over there, or you will scare the chickens. Also, you can't eat them. They are domestic chickens, not wild chickens. Do you hear me?"

"Wang Wang."

"Very good, let's go play somewhere else."

"Wang Wang."

It barked happily twice, wagged its tail, and ran towards the foot of the mountain in the south.

Ji Wenhe placed the branch next to the wasteland, spread it out, patted the dust off his clothes, and walked over slowly: "Uncle Da Nian."

Zhu Danian turned around and said with a smile: "I came to see how your house is being built. That's Yuanshan's house over there, right?"

"Yes, the house only lacks a wardrobe, a table, and a bed."

"The new house is built and ready for moving in. Someone has to live in the house. It can't remain empty."

"When the houses are built, we will move out of the caves. They say it will be fun living together."

Ji Wenhe pointed to the place next to Zheng Liutao's house, which was in the shade and had no sun.

"Uncle Da Nian, let's go over there. It's too sunny here. It's hot."

"No hurry, I'll go to the pigpen and take a look." After saying that, he walked over there.

She hurried after him and said, "Uncle Da Nian, please don't go into the pigpen. I'm afraid I might bump into something by accident."

"Hey." Zhu Danian responded, standing outside and looking in, "The pigpen is quite big, and there is a row of wooden racks inside."

"Yeah, it can be used to store things. Wood is free anyway, so I made a whole row of them."

He walked to the empty pigpen in the west and asked: "Why is this one empty? Are you planning to buy a few more pigs to raise next year?"

Ji Wenhe followed behind him: "I have this plan. We have to see how much it can be sold for next year. This one is kept as a backup."

"If you want to clean the pigsty, you can drive the pigs over here. There is a door over there, which is convenient for both sides to go in and out."

I originally wanted to drive the geese over, but then I thought, there are only four of them, so I should just let them stay in that small room.

Zhu Danian walked around the pig pen and said, "Not bad. Feed it well. Plant some food on the wasteland. If you feed it well, it will be no problem to grow 150 kilograms."

"As for the pig manure, we can carry it to the vegetable garden and grow more cabbage and wheat in the empty space next to it."

There are three pieces of wasteland behind the pigpen.

"Wen He, I think you should just buy the three wastelands at the back. If you don't have enough money, I have it here."

He turned his head and looked towards the south again: "You can buy the wasteland over there if you want, but I think the eight pieces of wasteland here are enough."

Ji Wenhe turned his head and stroked his chin in thought.

Zhu Danian continued, "I heard from Rongshan that you have to give away two acres of wasteland. The two plots of land have been used to build pig pens, and there is less than one acre of land left next to them."

"One acre of land is not enough to feed pigs. Pigs can only grow well if they eat more. I think it's better to buy those three pieces of wasteland. I'll pay for it."

One mu costs five hundred wen, and three mu costs less than two taels.

"We have money. I was considering buying the three plots here. Yuanshan said he would look for a match next spring. I plan to buy it next year after they get married and the wasteland is divided up."

Just thinking about it, it would be better to buy it and keep it early.

"It doesn't matter whether you buy it early or late, it's better to buy it early so that you can use the pig manure to feed the pigs. Maybe you can plant it in the spring next year."

Ji Wenhe nodded: "Uncle Danian is right, I will go home to get the money and ask Brother Shen to go find the head of the village."

"Okay, go ahead." He went to the homestead to talk to them.

He went home to get the money, but seeing that Shen Rongshan was not there, he ran up the mountain again.

"Brother Shen."

He was holding an axe and chopping off small branches from the tree.

Seeing her in such a hurry, he asked in confusion, "What happened? Did the master go back?"

"No, Uncle Da Nian just told me to buy the three pieces of wasteland behind the pig pen. I thought so too. I don't want to wait until next year."

Ji Wenhe took out a count of copper coins and handed them to him, fifteen hundred coins.

"You will go down the mountain later to find the head of the village and buy those three pieces of wasteland."

Shen Rongshan took it and put it in his arms: "Okay, you can go back. Master is at the foot of the mountain. Tell him to be careful."

"it is good."

Two big black dogs appeared out of nowhere and barked at her.

He smiled and patted their heads: "Come on, follow me down the mountain."

Ji Wenhe went home and got a basket, picked a few cucumbers from the vegetable garden, washed them and carried them over. Several people were talking.

"When going to work in town, you still can't find people you know." Shen Ping sighed.

They were talking about being cheated of their wages.

"Uncle Da Nian, here you go."

She divided the cucumbers and listened to Shen Erniu.

"I've been cheated three times, and one time it was someone I know. Sometimes you can't trust all acquaintances. Don't go to the leader, because your wages will be deducted a lot. Go to the owner instead."

"It's not that easy to find. I went to work in town last year and met a boss who was building a house. The wages were low. Guess what the boss said."

Several people looked at Shen Ping and shook their heads.

"The owner said that digging the foundation is easy. It's just digging out the soil, putting up the beams and putting the wood on top. It's such an easy job. He also said that we deliberately asked for a high price and were trying to cheat people out of their money. I was really angry."

"Later, we stopped doing this job because the price offered by the owner was too low. They found several people but none of them were willing to do this job."

"In the end, the price went up, and I don't know who did the work. The employer will definitely find fault everywhere and deduct the wages, so I won't get much money in the end."

Shen Anguo took over the conversation: "With a master like this, there will be a lot of trouble in the future. My father and I have encountered this before. Most of our wages were deducted, and we still couldn't get justice. We had to accept it."

"Everyone has encountered this. What can you do if you don't admit your mistake?" Huang Guihua came out of the yard. "My family's Daqian encountered this last September. If you dare to ask for money, he will break your legs."

The town leader knew the thugs, so they didn't dare to go there to collect debts.

"Auntie Huang, here, have a cucumber." Ji Wenhe raised his hand and handed it over.

She smiled and waved her hands: "I don't want to eat."

Then he added: "My old man encountered this a lot when he was young and worked in the town. You have to choose the right person."

"Some of the leaders are good, they deduct less money, and they pay you when the work is done. They don't have any trouble finding people."

"I heard that some people would buy some things and send them over. If they had good work, they would ask this person to do it."

They also want to give gifts, but no matter how much you give, others give more than you, so where would they get so much money?

Sometimes you spend money but don’t find a job, and it’s all wasted.

Difficult!
