Rebirth 78 was replaced by a husband, the cold educated youth pulled the curtains every day

When talking about land division, the old man's face lit up with joy.

He smiled and said, "We are a small family, so we were allocated three mu of land and six mu of land."

A hectare of land in rural areas is 15 mu, which is 1000 square meters per mu, so that is square meters.

Calculating it this way, the old man's family got a lot of land. No wonder he was so happy.

"Uncle, do you know that we are here this time to invest or something?" Lu Ye asked again.

"We don't know about that." The old man shook his head.

The old branch secretary just told them that the people who came would invest money in their village and improve everyone's lives, but he didn't explain the specific situation clearly.

The simple villagers did not ask any further questions. They just knew it was a good thing, but no one could explain exactly how it was good.

Seeing this, Lu Ye said softly:

"This is a planned farm area, and it's been undeveloped. We're here this time to develop it and build a large, modern farm. Farming will be completely mechanized. We'll have tractors to plow the soil, seed drills to sow seeds, airplanes to spray pesticides for pest control, and harvesters for the autumn harvest."

"By then, all the work will be done by machines, and people won't have to work so hard."

The old man listened to Lu Ye's words with a smile on his face.

In fact, he didn't know what many of the things Lu Ye said were, but he could also feel from Lu Ye's words that they must be some very powerful things.

"Haha...that's good, that's good."

The old man who has been working hard all his life, facing the black soil and back to the sky, really can't imagine what the scene would be like if there were no people farming.

"Uncle, let me ask you a question."

"Suppose we build a farm like that here, and then let you use your own land as shares, and let the farm implement unified planting. Then you can work for the factory. In this way, you can get a salary every month, and at the end of the year you can also get an additional dividend. Would you like this?"

To build a farm, besides land, the most important thing is people. Even if Shu imitates the American planting method, it still requires a large number of agricultural workers.

And it is naturally not as convenient to hire these people from outside as it is to hire them directly locally.

That's why Lu Ye asked tentatively.

"What? You mean, we should hand over the land we've been allocated to the government? That's not possible!"

The old man couldn't understand the whole meaning of what Lu Ye said. He just thought that using land as shares meant that he would have to hand it over to the public again, so he immediately became unhappy.

"It's not a public offering."

Seeing that the old man was a little excited, Lu Ye said hurriedly:

"The land is still yours. Simply put, everyone's land is put together, planted and harvested together, and then the accounts are settled and the money is distributed among everyone."

"Oh, that's how it is."

"That's okay."

After this explanation, the old man finally understood a little.

However, Lu Ye also discovered that promoting the idea of ​​farmers buying shares in their land here was probably not as easy as he had imagined.

There was a sound of scraping a pot in the field outside the room. Soon, a woman of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a cotton shirt with short sleeves, walked in with an enamel basin in her hand.

The woman had a long, thick braid with a red string tied at the end.

"Heat your feet. It will make you feel more comfortable when you sleep."

The girl said something to Lu Ye, then stood behind the old man, looking at him curiously from a distance.

"This is the youngest in my family." The old man said softly.

"thank you."

Lu Ye thanked him.

Then he didn't hesitate to take off his shoes and socks and burned his feet.

The kerosene lamp was a little dim, making it difficult for the girl to see Lu Ye's face clearly.

After a long time, the girl mustered up the courage to ask, "Are you from Hong Kong?"

Hearing this, Lu Ye smiled and shook his head: "I'm not."

The girl was a little disappointed when she saw Lu Ye said that he was not the one to go.

"Where are you from?"

"I'm from Hua County and now live in Binjiang."

"Oh, so you're from the city. I've never been to the city. Isn't your city nice? I heard people say it has tall buildings, wide roads, and cars everywhere. Is that true?"

"I guess so. It is indeed relatively developed."

"very nice."

Seeing Lu Ye's admission, the girl's eyes were filled with desire.

"If only I could go into the city too," the girl muttered softly.

In this era, for many rural people, moving to the city is still an unattainable thing.

However, it is also the aspiration of many young people to pursue a better life.

The old man poured cold water on her, saying, "We're just ordinary farmers. Don't dwell on those useless things. Matchmaker Zhang from Hongyu Village has come several times to arrange a marriage for you, but you're just being stubborn and too wild."

"What the matchmaker said was all about the countryside. What's the difference between Hongyu Village and our village? After I get married, I'd rather stay at home and work for my own family than work for them."

"If I were to marry, I'd marry into a good family. I wouldn't be like my older sister, who moved from one poor family to another, had many children, and ended up getting poorer and poorer. What's the point?"

The girl said in a stammering voice.

Lu Ye heard the conversation between the father and daughter with a smile on his face.

However, in Lu Ye's opinion, what the girl said was right. Only if people don't accept their fate can they change their destiny later.

After soaking my feet in hot water, I felt much more comfortable.

Remote rural areas become especially quiet at night.

There were no entertainment activities, and every household closed their doors early and prepared to rest.

Lu Ye lay on the kang he had not seen for a long time, feeling the warmth beneath him, and fell asleep early.

the other side.

Here at the brigade headquarters.

Su Mengyao held a kerosene lamp and locked the only entrance and exit door. To be on the safe side, Su Mengyao also used a stool to lean against the door.

"What are you doing?"

Shu Wen looked at Su Mengyao's actions and asked in confusion.

Su Mengyao chuckled and said, "You don't understand this."

Su Mengyao deliberately frightened Shu Wen and said, "Let me tell you, in some remote rural areas, there are many bachelors who can't find wives. They will do anything to get married."

"In the past, some female educated youth who went to the countryside to work were targeted by these bachelors. At night, when everyone was asleep, they would sneak into the educated youth camp and forcefully sleep with them. They hoped to use this method to force the female educated youth to marry them."

"I think there must be quite a few bachelors in this village, and you are all so beautiful. Who knows, there might be someone brave enough to break in in the middle of the night and ask for you to be his wife!"

"Especially you, Shuwen. Today, someone was staring at you outside the wall. Their eyes were almost glowing green."

Su Mengyao's words were so convincing that they frightened the female comrades in the room.

"No way?"

Shu Wen also believed Su Mengyao's words a little. Looking at the wooden door propped up by a wooden stool, she felt that it was not that safe.

"Why don't we put a few more stools?" Shu Wen said.
