Although it was already time to get off work, Uncle Lan still volunteered to work overtime to help Lan Xin deal with the house rental issue so that she could get the house at the educated youth site today.

"Uncle, this is half a year's rent."

After writing the receipt, Lan Xin handed the money she had prepared to Uncle Lan. One dollar and fifty cents a month was only nine dollars for half a year. Houses were so worthless nowadays, let alone houses in the countryside, so Lan Xin handed over a big reunion note and paid half a year's rent directly.

"Okay." Uncle Lan didn't even raise his head and continued to write the receipt with a pen.

Finally, he gave the receipt, change, and the key to the educated youth center to Lan Xin. He then took the money and carefully locked the drawer.

"Although the Youth League's residence is newer than other empty houses, it has been two or three years since anyone has lived there. Before you go in and get those tea eggs, remember to take a good look at what needs repairing."

The educated youth in their Lanjia Village were quite ambitious. Although the policy allowing educated youth to return to the city was implemented after 83, before that, several educated youth in Lanjia Village either passed the three-year entrance exams to universities and colleges and left, or found other ways to return to the city, or settled down in Lanjia Village and never waited until 83.

So the house at the youth camp had been unoccupied for more than two years. No one had taken care of it, the grass around it had grown as tall as a person, and I didn't know if the beams had been eaten by insects. The tiles on the house needed to be tidied up, otherwise it would be bad when it rained.

"Also, if you want to build a stove, you have to take good care of the flue and other things, so as not to make the house black." Uncle Lan reminded carefully.

"Okay, uncle, I understand." Lan Xin nodded and kept all these things in mind. She planned to find someone to take a look tomorrow and quickly tidy up the house and move in.

"Also, you used the house at the educated youth camp to cook tea eggs. Were all the things kept in that house?" Uncle Lan thought about this again. He frowned, and the wrinkles on his face showed his worry for Lan Xin.

"Although the educated youth site is not far from where I live, it is inconvenient to move it back and forth. It is easy to break the eggs, so I plan to leave it there and lock it up."

After thinking about renting a place for educated youth, Lan Xin figured out how to plan it.

There were two large rooms in the educated youth camp, one for female educated youth and one for male educated youth, separated by a thatched kitchen. Not only was the house big, but the kitchen was also big, so Lan Xin decided to use one room as a warehouse and the other for daily work, such as washing eggs.

"There's no one living at that youth cadre site, and we have to leave it unattended at night," said Uncle Lan anxiously.

He knew that Lan Xin needed to cook baskets of tea eggs every day. Eggs are very expensive nowadays. If the house of the educated youth was unoccupied and unwatched at night, someone might have the courage to pry open the lock and steal the eggs.

The next day, I found out that I had no idea who had eaten the egg.

Lan Xin is a woman with two children. The helper Ma Cuihua is also a well-known figure in Uncle Lan's house. She is a five-guarantee household with two children and the husband is a fool.

Who of these two women will go to keep watch at the youth cadre’s house?

Under the dim light, Uncle Lan sat on that old wooden chair with a frown on his face. He looked so worried. He was a worrier and was thinking about going home and letting his sons take turns to guard the funding point for a few nights.

Lan Xin had a plan for this matter. Seeing the worry in Uncle Lan's eyes, Lan Xin smiled and explained to him, comforting his heart: "Uncle, don't worry, I found a new employee today, Lan Yongtian from Aunt Fat's family."

"He's a big, strong man. I'll talk to him and give him a separate room. Let him stay at the educated youth camp at night and just visit him while he's there."

After hearing Lan Xin's arrangement, Uncle Lan nodded. The image of Lan Yongtian flashed through his mind. He was also a good boy who was honest and not cunning, and he could be trusted.

"You have plans, that's good."

Uncle stood up from the wooden chair and pounded his sore waist. Now that he had finished his work, it was time for him to go home for dinner.

But Lan Xin had a serious look on her face, even though she was smiling when she got the document just now. "Uncle has another important thing to tell you."

Uncle Lan: “…”

"put."

Uncle Lan frowned, waved his hand, and sat back on his chair with a look of despair. Can't this matter be said all at once? It's like that, just let it go bit by bit.

He wanted to see what else Lan Xin had to say.

Seeing Uncle Lan like this, Lan Xin felt a little embarrassed. Knowing that she had delayed Uncle Lan from getting off work, she did not dare to delay any longer and quickly told him what she had seen in the afternoon.

"...Uncle, what do you think we should do?"

Lan Xin looked at Uncle Lan and asked. He also had a bitter face. He never expected that there would be such trouble.

"You said they even know where the gate to the Sanqingshan scenic area is built?" Uncle Lan confirmed again, his focus also on this matter.

There are speculations everywhere about Sanqing Mountain becoming a scenic spot, but these people even know where the gate of Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area is built. They are so many steps ahead, which shows that the backers behind them are not small.

Uncle Lan was very worried. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with them, but from what Lan Xin said, they seemed to have taken a fancy to the land in Lanjia Village at the foot of Sanqing Mountain.

In this case, it is difficult to deal with this piece of land. Especially since no one in the village rents this land except Lan Xin, the initiative is in the hands of the village cadres. Should we rent it to outsiders or keep it for the villagers?

Uncle Lan is a practical man. He keeps thinking about the interests of the village and is hesitant.

"Uncle, I'll tell you about this. You two can discuss and decide. If you want to let the villagers take over the land and work on their own, the county bank actually has an interest-free loan. According to national policy, you don't have to pay interest. You just need to borrow money from the bank and pay it back in three years."

"Anyway, I plan to use my 200 acres of land myself. If the village finally plans to rent the land to Sister Xiao, remember to cross out the area that belongs to me." Lan Xin said seriously.

She had told Uncle Lan about the subsequent development of Sanqing Mountain more than a month ago, but the village cadres dragged their feet and the villagers were even more slow.

Up to now, only Lan Xin and a few others have rented a few pieces of land, and everyone else seems to have forgotten about it.

After dragging it on and on, people now come to share the meat.

If they do not intend to follow Lan Xin's path, then renting out the land and letting the villagers collect dividends is also a good way out.

The specific decision was up to them to discuss. Lan Xin didn't intend to let others know about her own little plan.
