The casual life of the flat space

"Is Grandma Wang okay? Is Grandpa Wang at home?" Bai Tieying was standing outside the village chief's house and saw Grandma Wang working in the yard, so he asked loudly.

"Hey, Tieying is back? But I haven't seen you for a while. Where have you been? Come in quickly. Your Grandpa Wang has gone to the fields. I'll ask your brother Luyuan to call him."

"Grandma Wang, this is my uncle. He heard that Grandpa Wang took good care of us sisters, so he came to visit us as soon as he arrived."

"Hey, please come in and sit down. Should I call you big brother? What are you talking about? Isn't that what I should do?"

Uncle and Bai Tieying didn't talk to Grandma Wang for long before Village Chief Wang came back from the fields. In the summer, the sun rises early and it's hot, so many villagers go to work shirtless, but the village chief is fully clothed, and now the front and back of his clothes are soaked with sweat.

As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted, "Is it Tieying's uncle? Oh, I'm all dirty. We're not strangers. I'll go wash first!"

Village Chief Wang washed up and changed his clothes before coming to the main hall to formally greet his uncle. After a while of greeting, his uncle changed the subject.

"Brother Wang, I didn't know about this before, but now that I know and have the ability, I want to help these two children more. First of all, I want them to live in a decent way, which can also make up for the regret in my heart.

Do you think that wasteland to the west of her house and the river beach to the north can be bought to expand their yard? Also, if the owner of the land facing her house to the south is willing to sell it, I would also like to trouble you to contact them for me. The price is negotiable. "

"It's not a big deal, but is it necessary for the two sisters to live in such a big yard? Brother Bai, if we have money, then we can just renovate the house. I think that's enough."

"Hey, Brother Wang! Look, I'm almost a generation older than you. I never know when I'll be gone! I think it's better to leave some property for my children than to leave them money. Even if something unexpected happens, it can help them out, right?

Besides, Tieying and Tiexiong have also said that they are willing to support me in my old age, so shouldn’t I live in peace? So I just want to do my best, which is also my contribution to the Bai family.”

"Well... OK, it's up to you. The land in the north originally belonged to the Bai family, but they had no money at the time, so they just built a house there. The west side is also easy, I'll get you the fish scale book right now.

However, the land in the south has already been planted. Besides, we have limited cultivated land in Xianhe Village, and it is not certain whether they are willing to sell it. I think it would be a good idea for you to put it aside for now and build a yard first."

"That's fine too. Thank you, Brother Wang!"

The village chief went into the house and took out the fish scale book of Xianhe Village, and Bai Tieying also leaned in to read it. It was indeed written in the north that the land to the big willow tree by the river was the land of Lao Bai's family. The homestead on the map was a little northwest of the current mud house, which meant that the current mud house was not on the three homesteads at all.

Bai Tieying thought: No wonder she didn't notice any trace of three rooms in that small courtyard, it turned out that they were not in the current courtyard at all.

When the uncle looked at the fish scale book, he saw that it was just at the edge of Tatoudianzi, so he said that he wanted all the land from the mud house to the west to Tatoudianzi. However, Bai Tieying added that she also wanted the land to the south to Tatoudianzi and the land around the south mountain.

After hearing this, Village Chief Wang looked at the grandparents and grandchildren for a long time without saying anything. Is this Lao Bai's family? This is the "old spendthrift" and the "young spendthrift"! I can understand wanting a bigger yard, but why do they need so much wasteland?

Seeing the speechless look on Village Chief Wang's face, Bai Tieying explained, "Grandpa Wang, you helped me to call on the villagers to sell mountain products before, but I was delayed for a while because of something. Now, we have sold all the products in the past two days and got the money back, so I would like to trouble you to help me arrange it again.

I wanted the wasteland next to my house because I had some plans and it would be easier to manage in the future. As for the land around the south end of the mountain, it was because I wanted to open a "food processing factory" in our village. It has convenient transportation and does not occupy the arable land of our village, so I thought the land at the south end of the mountain was also good. "

"What? What kind of venue?"

"'Food processing factory'. It processes our mountain products so that they can be preserved longer and transported further."

"You, tell me, what did you promise me last time? Didn't you just say you would help you sell all the mountain products? Why are you making such a scene again?"

"Grandpa Wang, regarding the feasibility of the mountain products business, we'll talk about it this evening after I distribute the money to everyone. But as for the food processing plant, let's not talk about anything else. Just the major shareholders, some are from Beijing, and some are in charge of Shang'an County. I think this is a very good opportunity.

You don't have to leave your homeland or abandon your land. As long as you can walk and work hard and clean, I can guarantee that your annual income will be no less than farming at home, regardless of whether the factory makes a profit or a loss. I can make a military order to say this, do you think it's okay?"

"Oh, go ahead and do what you want! Brother Bai, you don't care about it? I don't know how much money you make outside, and how much you can leave for the Bai family, but there's no need to do that, right? Wouldn't it be better to buy a few acres of land for the two sisters?

What about the capital city or the county town? Who can ask for money after you lose money? How will they know who you are then? You don't have to sign a military order for me. Just think about whether you can live up to your uncle's pension money? ! "

"Hahaha, Brother Wang, Tieying has mentioned many times how much you take care of the two sisters. Today I have seen it. If you didn't treat them as your own children, how could you speak so deeply from the heart?

My dear brother, I may not be able to say this, but I do treat them as my own granddaughters and grandsons. As the saying goes, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings." It is true that Tieying has her own ideas, but it is also true that she is wholeheartedly for the Bai family and the villagers!

It is really hard to explain the grievances of our branch, but decades have passed and I still have the opportunity to come back. Not to mention the children, I also want to do something for our Xianhe Village, even if it is wrong, even if I lose money, it can be regarded as our branch's contribution to the village!"

"Hey! Okay, now that you've said that, what else can I say?" Village Chief Wang really couldn't persuade him, and he was too lazy to persuade him, so he pointed at the fish scale book and said:

"Look here. Not counting your family's original land, from the fish scale book outward, it's about one li to Tatoudianzi, and from Beishan River to Nanshan it's about two li long, so that piece of wasteland is about 750 mu. The land at the south end of the mountain is about that size."
