There is a mountain in her arms

Grandpa Jiang took them to his own orchard, and Jiang Weiguo arranged for the accountant to unify the number of households, and then divide the profits equally among each household.

"Forty-two households, all forty-two households in the village grow crops."

Grandpa Jiang silently calculated in his mind and made a plan.

"I don't have that many watermelon seedlings, but it's still enough for each household to have three mu of land. This is the first year, so we can use it as a way to gain experience and not waste resources from other land. We can plant whatever we want, and the harvest from the three mu of land is not a big deal."

"Uncle, this is the best. Those who want to plant next year can keep the seeds and raise seedlings. Those who don't want to plant can forget it. Anyway, the harvest belongs to everyone, so no one should be jealous of anyone else!"

Grandpa Jiang dug up a watermelon seedling and carefully told them his experience in planting it. He also had to answer their questions from time to time, and his voice soon became hoarse.

Jiang Yichen gave her grandfather a glass of honey water, then whispered a few words in Jiang Weiguo's ear. Seeing him nod, she didn't stay any longer.

Jiang Weiguo asked the accountant to write an agreement, and only those who signed and put their fingerprints on it could get the watermelon seedlings. The accountant was a little surprised, but still agreed with his decision.

"Okay, that's all I can think of. We are all experienced farmers, so you can also figure out your own experience."

Grandpa Jiang took a sip of honey water. Jiang Weiguo asked him two questions in his ear. Seeing him nod, Jiang Weiguo took over the conversation.

"Okay, I won't waste any more of your time. Here is an agreement drafted by the village. You can pass it around. For those who can't read, the accountant will help read out the contents after it's circulated."

Everyone was curious, and after the paper was circulated, people began to whisper among themselves.

The accountant cleared his throat and read everything on the paper, and Jiang Weiguo took over the conversation again.

"Although my second uncle asked verbally just now, everyone seems to agree. But words are not enough, and everything needs evidence these days. So in order to avoid trouble in the future, this agreement must be signed. Only those who sign the agreement can get the watermelon seedlings. Of course, if someone does not sign the agreement and gets the watermelon seedlings privately, then any subsequent matters will be borne by themselves, including the sale of the watermelons."

Some people started to wait and see, and Grandpa Jiang was a little disappointed. Jiang Weiguo took the lead and signed and put his fingerprints first, then walked in front of his second uncle.

"Uncle, give me mine first!"

"it is good!"

Grandpa Jiang had just counted out a hundred watermelon seedlings for him. The old branch secretary signed and came over to receive them, and several cadres followed suit.

Seeing that they had covered a small area in a short time, the villagers were afraid that there would not be enough space later, so they rushed to sign and put their fingerprints.

The village cadres helped distribute the watermelon seedlings, so Grandpa Jiang could come out to rest. Every person who got the seedlings would thank Grandpa Jiang when they came out.

Jiang Yicheng stayed in his hometown for two days and then returned to the city. Grandpa Jiang will stay in his hometown for another half a month to ensure the maximum survival rate of the watermelon seedlings.

When he got home, no one was at home. Jiang Yichen then remembered that his grandmother had gone to the store.

"Chengcheng, you're back! How are the arrangements in the village going?"

Jiang Yichen told his grandmother everything that happened in the village, and she was quite open-minded.

"It's all because of poverty! They are not all bad people, they are just afraid that their families will suffer losses."

"Because the whole village wanted to plant, grandpa only allocated three acres of land to each household, and they didn't need to spend money to buy seedlings, so there was no loss."

Jiang Yichen's face looked indifferent. She didn't have much contact with the villagers and couldn't understand the feelings of her grandparents.

Grandma Jiang asked her to look after the store and even went to tell the people in the big house.

"Great! If the watermelon planting is successful, the villagers will also benefit from it."

Grandpa Jiang was really happy, but Grandma Jiang and Zhou Lanhua were worried about Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Zixiao. Last year, they went back and spent two days cleaning the house.

This time when growing watermelons, Jiang Weiguo might have to live a shabby life again, and Zixiao might go hungry one day and eat one meal full the next. Forget it, I'd better call him back and ask him to go to town to prepare some snacks!

Jiang Yichen estimated the time and went directly to pick up An An, and then went home with grandma.

There are only three of us in the family now, so Grandma Jiang’s cooking is much simpler.

Half a month later, when Grandpa Jiang came back, Jiang Yichen and the others almost didn't recognize him!

"Grandpa, why are you so dark and thin? Aren't you just guiding them? Are you still working?"

Jiang Yicheng held his rough big hand, feeling very distressed. She shouldn't have agreed to her grandfather's bad intentions and ruined the meat that she had raised with great difficulty.

"I didn't work! I just helped the villagers look after the seedlings every day. Your grandma spoiled me, so I became thinner."

"I'll make it up to you. Chengcheng, catch a pheasant. I'll add some herbs and make soup for you."

Grandma Jiang also felt a little uncomfortable and kept thinking about how to nourish his body recently.

"Okay! I'll ask Ah Chu to catch another sheep and stew the mutton."

"Yes, I'll go home and prepare now."

Grandpa Jiang was watching the store, while Jiang Yichen sent grandma home, caught the prey from the space and gave it to grandma before going to school.

When An An saw his grandfather in the evening, he burst into tears again. It took Grandpa Jiang a while to comfort him, but he never dared to do that again.

Grandma Jiang found ways to nourish Grandpa Jiang's body every day. Half a month later, he had fully recovered and even gained a little flesh on his face.

Jiang Yichen and his friends also welcomed the May Day holiday, and Jiang Yichen went to Beijing as originally planned.

An An wanted to go with him, but considering that the round trip would use up all of his vacation time, An An couldn't ask for leave at will, so he could only promise to bring him something back.

Grandpa Jiang and An An went together, and Chi Yuan was the one who picked them up when they left the train station.

"Grandpa Jiang, welcome to Kyoto."

After not seeing him for a few years, Chi Yuan has grown into a tall young man of 180cm.

"Chizi, you have changed so much. If you hadn't said hello to me, I wouldn't have recognized you."

In Grandpa Jiang's memory, Chi Yuan was still a thin child, but in the blink of an eye he has grown up.

"Haha! Should I take you home to rest or where else?"

"Brother Chi Yuan, have you finished decorating the house I asked you to help me with?"

"Okay! You can move in now."

"Okay! Then let's go to Jinghua Community."

Grandpa Jiang knew about Jiang’s arrangements just in case, and he didn’t say anything. It was only when they entered the community that Grandpa Jiang was a little surprised.

"Chengcheng, there's a university across from this community!"

"Yes! I bought a house here because the location is good. If I have the chance this time, I want to buy a few more houses."

"Chengcheng, I'll call Tang Chao tonight and ask him to keep an eye out."

Chi Yuan parked the car, raised the corner of his mouth, and made arrangements immediately. Jiang Yicheng nodded in approval.

"Grandpa Jiang, enter from here. Chengcheng bought the one on the third floor."

Chi Yuan took them upstairs with familiarity. There were four rooms on one floor, and Jiang Yichen bought the one facing south.

"Ha! The houses in Beijing are so bright, I don't even dare to land on the ground."

It was the first time that Grandpa Jiang saw such a finely decorated house, and his eyes were filled with excitement.

"Grandpa Jiang, my house is across the street. I'll take you there later."

"You also bought a house here. Isn't your home here?"

Chi Yuan's words made Grandpa Jiang feel strange, as Chi Yuan only said it casually.

"Grandpa Jiang, the housing prices have increased slightly now, so I'll consider it an investment. And I also want to have my own independent space where I can live by myself!"

"Haha! This bedroom is brighter than ours, and it's just right for each of us to have one."

Grandpa Jiang visited the bedrooms and found one that was obviously for girls, so he chose another one.

"Grandpa Jiang, Chengcheng, you guys take a rest first. I'll take you out for dinner tonight. Are you going to look at the land tomorrow? Why didn't you tell me before? I can help you, too."

"When I thought of it, I told my brother. It couldn't be anyone else anyway."

Chengcheng explained casually, and Chi Yuan kept this brother in mind.

After Chi Yuan left, Jiang Yichen and his grandfather simply washed up and took a nap.

Jiang Yichen was awakened by a knock on the door. She heard soft voices outside and quickly got dressed and came out.

"Tang Chao? Why are you here?"

"Sister Jiang, you are so mean. We are friends after all. How can I not welcome you when you come to Beijing?"

Jiang Yicheng's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but retort to him.

"I come every year, and you treat me every year. So, have you become rich?"

"You're right. I can't afford to invite others, but Sister Jiang, I'll invite you even if I have to beg for food in the future! Besides, you're my God of Wealth, so you're going to help me get rich, aren't you?"

Tang Chao's shameless words made Jiang Yicheng laugh. Grandpa Jiang still looked puzzled, so Chi Yuan quietly introduced Tang Chao to him.

"Then you have to serve the Goddess of Wealth well. If I let go, you will be rich!"

"Okay! Lady Goddess of Wealth is always at your service. May I ask if you can leave now?"

"That's right!"

"Please!"

Grandpa Jiang watched the two people's banter and smiled kindly.

In the evening they went to a private restaurant again. Both the host and the guests had a great time and agreed to go together tomorrow to help her judge the food.

Chi Yuan also stayed in Jinghua Community that night, and Tang Chao drove to pick everyone up the next day.

They went directly to the Land Administration Bureau, where a clerk was already waiting at the door. When he saw them park their car, he approached them cautiously.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Jiang?"

"I am! Are you Clerk Wang?"

"Yes, I have been notified to wait for you here. I will take you to see the land later."

Clerk Wang lowered his posture even more when he saw them driving up.

"Okay, then get in the car! I don't want to waste time."

"Okay, okay!"

Clerk Wang sat in the passenger seat and whispered the route to Tang Chao. It took more than two hours to arrive, which shows that this place is still a bit remote.

"Miss Jiang, this is it. It's about 60 acres, all good farmland. There's a village nearby, and it's not far from the city."

"I see some crops there. Is that the land of that village?"

"Yes."

"What about the other place?"

"That place is bigger than here, with an area of ​​180 acres, and it's wasteland. But because there's a mountain next to it, everyone thinks it's dangerous, so it's been left idle until now."

Clerk Wang was a little nervous, because they didn't actually intend to report this piece of land to them at that time. It was just that they asked for a larger piece of land, so they sent this piece of information up.

"There's a mountain? Then go and take a look."

Tang Chao and Chi Yuan accompanied Grandpa Jiang around. Jiang Yichen waved to them and told them about the situation in the other area after they met up.

Chi Yuan and Grandpa Jiang's eyes lit up. Tang Chao was a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions.

With Clerk Wang's directions again, when Jiang Yichen arrived at the area he mentioned, he saw the mountain at first sight.

"Miss Jiang, there is a large piece of land next to that mountain, about 180 acres, and there is a lake at the foot of the mountain. I heard that small animals in the forest often go there to drink water, so no one dared to take this piece of land."

Jiang Yicheng looked around and wanted to go to the lake. He was stopped by Clerk Wang and his face turned pale.

"Ms. Jiang, it's dangerous there. If a large animal escapes, we might not be able to escape."

"Don't worry, we'll be fine. My hometown is in the mountains, and I often roll around in the mountains. Large animals in the mountains usually don't come down the mountain easily. I'm just going to the lake to take a look."

Clerk Wang was still a little scared, so Jiang Yichen asked him to stay in the car while they went to see for themselves.

He did want to, but since they were all going, it would be difficult for him as a clerk not to go, so he had no choice but to follow them, while keeping an eye on the movements in the forest ahead.

Tang Chao himself was not a coward, and he knew Chi Yuan's skills, so he made a comment here without caring.

"Sister Jiang, the air here is good! The environment is also OK. I saw that this half of the land is fertile, but there are too many weeds and rocks. If you really plan to buy it, I'm afraid you'll have to hire a lot of people to take care of it."

"Let's wait and see! The land has been bought, so wouldn't it be easier to hire someone?"

"Huh? This lake seems to have been formed by the flow of water from the mountains. The water is crystal clear."

As soon as Tang Chao arrived at the lake, he noticed something unusual.

"Yes, this is indeed a stream flowing down from the mountains, gathered over the years. The source is just inside the forest, and most of the small animals drink water and play there."

According to the introduction in the document, Clerk Wang told everyone that he no longer felt afraid when he saw the small fish and shrimps swimming around in the lake.

"Are there any other occupied ones around here?"

"No. Because of this mountain, it's hard to sell this place, so we didn't divide it. This is also the largest wasteland we have at the moment."

"Then can we enter this mountain at will?"

"No, this mountain cannot be bought or sold, but you can buy the right to use it. It's one thousand for ten years, but we are not responsible for anything that happens."

"Okay! I want this piece of land, and I also want to purchase the right to use the forest for a hundred years. But I have a condition."

"What? Really? Please tell me!"

Clerk Wang thought he had misheard at first, until he saw Jiang Yichen nod, then he felt ecstatic.

“If the right to use the forest expires, I hope to have the right of first refusal.”

"Of course! I can make the decision on this."

Clerk Wang did not expect this request, so he agreed without hesitation and even made a few more comments.

"Ms. Jiang, I've already told you about the danger. Have you really thought it through? Do you want to tell your family?"

Clerk Wang suddenly remembered that the power behind Jiang Yichen might be quite strong, because two groups of people had called their bureau.

"This is my grandpa. Don't worry, no one will bother you about the things you're worried about."

"Huh? Haha!"

Clerk Wang felt a little embarrassed.

Jiang Yichen asked Chi Yuan if he could help find someone to clean up this place?

Chi Yuan nodded and said, "I will help you find someone when I get back."

They looked around and Jiang Yichen was generally satisfied.

There was no one around, which made it convenient for her to do things. The environment here was actually quite good, with mountains and rivers, birds singing and flowers blooming. When her orchard was officially completed, it would be a prosperous scene.

Tang Chao drove them to the Land Administration Bureau to handle the formalities, which cost almost 30,000 yuan. This was because someone above them had deliberately lowered the price, otherwise they might not have been able to get it.
