Chapter 645 646【Shuihua, you man is really good! 】
At this time, Ma Defu and Juanzi rode to the field.
"Blessing~" Li Shuihua greeted him generously after seeing him again, already freed from the knot in his heart.
"Shuihuaer, why are you here?" Ma Defu was also a little surprised when he saw Shuihuaer.
"Come on with the man." Shuihua'er smiled, "Defuer, this is the man Yongfuer. Yongfuer, this is the classmate Ma Defu."
"Hello, Comrade Ma, I heard Shui Huaer mention you a long time ago." Xiang Nan stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
"Hello, Comrade An, I've heard your name a lot recently." Ma Defu also said with a smile.
"A little name, not worth mentioning." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.
"Comrade Ma, did you bring this tractor?" Ma Defu asked.
"Yes. Er's father and Erzhang are both old, and it is too difficult to open up wasteland. So I hired two tractors to help them tidy up the land and save them from being tired." Xiang Nan laughed.
"You are really filial." Ma Defu smiled, "Comrade An, how much did you pay for this tractor?"
"Twenty per mu of land." Xiang Nan introduced.
Ma Defu nodded, "Comrade An, let's discuss something with you, let them give us a whole lot, okay?"
"Of course, whoever makes money doesn't make money." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "It's not easy for them to make this trip. Naturally, the more land they can cultivate, the better."
Originally, this tractor was unwilling to come. After all, with only a few acres of land, and dozens of kilometers to drive, there is not even enough money for gas. It was Xiang Nan who spent more money to hire these two machines.
"Can you discuss with them and lower the price again. If the price per mu drops to 15, then everyone can afford it." Ma Defu said again.
It is really not easy for the folks to make money. They work hard in the brick kiln factory, and they can only earn a few dollars a day.
"Okay, go and discuss with them." Xiang Nan nodded, and then went to find the two drivers.
…
After some discussion, the two drivers lowered the price to 18 yuan, which is 2 yuan cheaper per mu of land.
"Comrade Ma, do you think this price is suitable?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Oh, it's still a bit expensive. Eighteen yuan, oh, it takes several days to get rid of the adobe before you can earn it." Ma Huashui said, smacking his teeth.
"Eighteen yuan, you can buy 90 catties of white noodles. It's too expensive~ With that money, it's better to buy noodles." Li Dayou said reluctantly.
"Eighteen yuan is enough to buy one hundred and eighty barrels of water, and you can drink it for a year. No, no, it's too expensive." Shuan Men and Yang San also shook their heads.
"Call Uncle Shui, Uncle Dayou, you can't settle accounts like this. If you hire this machine, you can clear the land in one day and plant the seeds tomorrow.
It’s only July, and you can still grow soybeans, millet, and vegetables...and earn an extra year’s income. If we don't use machines and rely solely on manpower, I'm afraid the land will not be finished until next year.
At that time, it will not only consume manpower, but also earn less money for one year. "Xiang Nan persuaded.
"Your reasoning is correct, but we really have no money." Li Dayou spread his hands.
"Yes, the truth is this. The key point is that the folks are really poor." Ma shouted for water.
In fact, he also felt that Xiang Nan was right. Relying on manpower alone is really too slow. Digging the ground, picking up stones, and digging the soil... It is difficult for a family to obtain allotted land in one year.
Now there is a machine and it can be done in a short time, which is really convenient. It is indeed a good thing that the saved time can be used to grow a crop of land and work for a few more days.
But a penny can't beat a hero, the people in Jintan Village are really poor.
…
"Then call the driver and tell us about your difficulties. Maybe if they are soft-hearted, they can lower the price again." Xiang Nan thought for a while and suggested.
Xiang Nan is promising and has made a lot of money. He hired a tractor and spent 20 yuan per mu, which is an understatement. It doesn't matter at all.
His own family still has to sell and bargain. To be honest, it makes him feel that he has no face in front of Splash.
Although he knew that he and Shuihua were no longer destined, he still didn't want her to see his embarrassing side.
Ma Huashui, Li Dayou, Shuan Meng, Yang San and others didn't care, they immediately went over and surrounded the driver, complained about their pain, and wanted the driver to give up the price again.
After a lot of spitting, the driver finally agreed to drop it to seventeen yuan, but it was still two yuan short of the psychological price of Jintan villagers.
They wanted to ask again, but the driver refused to agree to anything.
After all, they have fuel consumption, wear and tear, and wages, so they can't do their jobs for nothing.
"Comrade Ma, how many lands do we have in Jintan Village?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Nearly 400 acres of land." Ma Defu introduced.
Forty-two households have come to Jintan Village now, and nearly 400 mu of land have been allocated, and there are more than 4,000 mu left for villagers who have not yet come.
"How about it, uncles and uncles, let me say something~" Xiang Nan cleared his throat and shouted, "You still pay fifteen and one mu, and I will pay for the insufficient money."
"Ah, why are you so embarrassed?" Ma Defu said even more embarrassed when he heard it.
"Oh, this won't work. How can I let you pay this money?" Ma Huashui said embarrassedly.
"Young students, you add up to hundreds of acres of land." Li Dayou also said, "Can you really afford it?"
"Er's father and Ezhang's people have immigrated to Jintan Village, and you will all be E's villagers in the future. If E's offer a hand to help, it is not considered heretic." Xiang Nan said, "From now on, we will all live in the same village. There is a time to help each other. Uncles and uncles will help Er’s family and Erzhang’s family more in the future.”
"Oh, this baby is righteous!"
"Shuihua, you man is really good!"
"We have a good son-in-law in Yongquan Village!"
When the folks heard it, they were all full of praise.
So, the tractor roared again.
…
"Yongfuer, you are such a good person~" Shuihua hugged Xiang Nan's arm and said affectionately.
Xiang Nan saved the whole village with one word, saved them so much hard work, and made her feel happy for them.
"It's fine if you're happy. I didn't discuss it with you, so I just said this. I'm afraid you won't be happy." Xiang Nan laughed.
"You did a good thing, of course I'm happy." Shui Hua laughed.
Seeing Shui Hua and Xiang Nan's intimacy, Ma Defu couldn't help sighing.
…
The tractor worked for nearly a day, and finally finished all the land in the village.
After finishing, Xiang Nan and Shuihua took a ride back to the city together. Before leaving, he left An Guomin 3,000 yuan to build a house for his two younger brothers and his father-in-law, Li Laoshuan.
The reason why he didn’t give it directly to Li Laoshuan was because he was worried that Li Laoshuan would take the money and not build a house, and would spend it on food and drink. At that time, no matter how much he asks for money, or eats and drinks... then it will be over.
"Yongfuer, Shuihuaer, stay for dinner~"
"The meal is ready, stay and eat~"
Before leaving, the villagers tried to persuade him to stay.
