How big is an acre of land
About six hundred and sixty-seven square meters.
If we compare this area with that of a city house, it must be extremely spacious.
But if placed in the vast fields and forests in the countryside, it is like a drop in the ocean and is really not worth mentioning.
Haven't you seen that those hot orchards are often hundreds or thousands of acres? Song Tan's twenty acres of land just happened to be connected to his own area, for convenience, and it didn't even make a ripple here among the villagers.
Even when the village voted, the villagers' reactions were more of surprise than expectation for money.
There is no way, the money is too little, and the land is too little. It's just a small piece of land, who doesn't have it
Some of the people laughed and said: "Sancheng, when you become rich next year, consider my land. You see, it's not far from your home!"
Anyway, I can’t get these lands even if I work all year round, so I can make more money by renting them out.
Others said seriously: "Old Song, please think carefully. With this sum of money, you and your wife will lose all your retirement money for the rest of your lives!"
"We can't even transfer this property out of the wild mountains and wilderness!"
If farming can make money, why do people run away? This old Song is impulsive!
Song Sancheng looked like he was being taught a lesson, but in the end he could only smile innocently: "Give it a try. Isn't it popular to sell products online now? Try it, kid."
What else can I say
It is said that my family has 21 kilograms of wild vegetables, 1,100 kilograms of honey, and 10,000 kilograms of tea
If I tell others about it, will I still be able to live in the village
…
The young village party secretary was also speechless.
Even though Zhu Jun had great ambitions, he was speechless when he received this amount of money in the village committee.
What was she planning for? Wasn't it for the development of the village? Now, as soon as I heard her meaning, I knew that everyone was just watching the fun and had never considered staying in their hometown. The village still couldn't keep people.
But she also knew that there was no other way because farm work was too hard.
You have to work under the sun and rain, sweating in the hottest days of summer, and you can't earn much money in a year. It's better to work in a factory to make money faster.
The young village party secretary sighed secretly, looking at the map of collective land marked in the village committee, and fell into deep thought.
…
But for Song Sancheng and Wulan, they have been farming for half their lives, but have never invested so much money in farming.
Fortunately, this panic did not last too long. We got the preliminary contract, voted in the village, and then waited for the town to finalize the contract...
Thanks to the rural revitalization, the fact that farming time cannot be wasted, and the advance planning by the village party secretary Zhu Jun, everything went smoothly and with incredibly high efficiency.
Song Sancheng looked at the stack of contracts with the official seal on them, feeling both panic and excitement. He felt so motivated that he wanted to rush up the hillside and turn over ten acres of land!
But since the eat-and-drink young man who drove the excavator has now moved into his home, and high technology does not require people to work, he can only give up this arrogant idea, and then put his energy elsewhere.
As a result, his schedule became regular and full.
At five o'clock in the morning, I get up, clean up, and do some chores.
At six o'clock, I went to old man Song Youde's house to pick up pig food and bring it up the mountain to feed the pigs, and then took a look at the bees on the way.
Next, I went to inspect the chestnut orchard and look at the newly built dog houses that had just been built but not yet occupied by the dogs, and then fed the dogs the dog food, meat, vegetables and bones that I had brought.
The chestnut orchard is guarded by three German Shepherds and four BMWs.
The two treasures are smart and agile. They can not only run fast but also have strong jumping ability. Therefore, the important task of guarding the chestnut orchard and black fungus and white fungus now falls on them!
After only two or three days of absence, the mountain seemed different.
Two hundred golden cherries tightly surround the chestnut orchard. Only two or three days after planting, tender green buds have sprouted on the branches.
In a few days, you will see fresh leaves sprouting.
Judging from the growth rate, by summer the branches and vines may cover the entire fence and erect an impenetrable wall of thorns.
Not only can it prevent people from snooping, but with the help of the two treasures, it will not indulge some people's thoughts of stealing and causing damage.
Life in the village is simple, but it also has the inevitable human nature. Hating people for what they have and laughing at people for what they don't is not uncommon wherever you go.
While the security work has been done well, the work in the chestnut orchard cannot be neglected.
Firstly, the chestnuts are growing vigorously this year, and you can vaguely see the shiny and thick green leaves, but we can't keep wasting the land like this, so we should find time to add some fertilizer.
Secondly, the weeds on the ground are quite lush, and once the barren hills are reclaimed, this place also needs to be cleaned up.
The scale of black fungus and white fungus this year is not enough to completely occupy the entire park. Therefore, they have to intercrop something else to make money as soon as possible.
Those tree stumps are still piled together now, and after a while, they will be neatly arranged on the shelves.
Song Sancheng grunted as he packed up the fungus and white fungus that had already started to move, and looked at the white mycelium that had already sprouted on them with a smile. His eyes and brows were full of smiles.
However, looking at the time again, after a little tidying up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
Farm work really wastes a lot of time!
But he still couldn't rest.
Walking around the chestnut orchard and arriving at the family’s fields, Old Man Li, the manager of the over-age rice farm, was still working in the fields with his cows.
But he himself had already come to the ridge of the next field to check around.
Two plots of land were reclaimed in the corners there, one for growing various vegetable seedlings. Two leaves were already tremblingly sprouting, welcoming the sunshine.
The other side is where rice seedlings are grown this year.
The green and tender leaves make people's hearts warm.
Old man Li is an expert at farming. Even if he watches it every day, he still feels tired. When he saw Song Sancheng coming, he couldn't help but sigh again: "This year's seedlings are growing strong and fat! We will definitely have a good harvest!"
He was full of confidence and complacency, and seemed particularly energetic, as if he was working on his own fields.
"Uncle Li," Song Sancheng also greeted him, "Tan Tan asked me to ask if you still have rice, flour, oil, salt, etc.? If not, she will find time to send it to you."
It was agreed at the beginning that Old Man Li would be responsible for the rice fields, and she would be responsible for rice, flour, grain, oil, and 20 kilograms of meat at the end of the year.
"Yes, yes, yes!" the old man said happily.
How much can he eat as an elderly person living alone? He should just make do with what he eats.
Nowadays, if we buy a bag of salt at home, we hope we can’t finish it in a year.
Song Sancheng also said loudly: "Okay! Then old man, when you go back, take some time to take another look. Don't tell me when it's gone!"
"Tan Tan said that if you really do this, she won't dare to ask you to be in charge of these two rice fields..."
Old man Li smiled broadly. He didn't look like a stubborn person at all. Instead, he looked satisfied and happy.
"Okay, okay, I know that your family is kind and that the girl Tan Tan is good too!"
