With the help of the village chief, Su Ling's seedlings finally had their seedlings.
Today, taking advantage of the good weather, he paid a dozen villagers to help plant the seedlings.
At the beginning, he stood on the side road and watched.
After watching for more than ten minutes, he felt that planting seedlings was very interesting, so he was eager to try.
However, letting Su Ling go directly into the field barefoot and step into the mud would be unbearable.
His habit of cleanliness does not allow the skin to have excessive intimate contact with the soil for a long time.
Li Dahai thought of a trick for him and borrowed him a pair of protective rain boots that his father had used before.
So, Su Ling wore a hat on his head, raised the trouser legs of his sportswear, and wore a pair of long black labor protection rain boots.
He stepped into the muddy paddy field, holding a handful of seedlings in his hand, learning Li Dahai's seedling planting posture, awkwardly a handful of seedlings were planted in the mud.
The seedlings were planted straight and neatly, and he planted them awkwardly and horribly.
He looked around, couldn't see the difference between his own technique and others, why the effect was so bad?
"Brother Su, the seedlings cannot be planted too shallow, nor too deep. They should be kept between 1-2 cm." Li Dahai held the seedlings and taught him skills, "You use your index finger and middle finger to clamp it like I did. The root of the seedling, then follow its root down and insert it into the mud."
Su Ling tried it, still a little crooked, frowning and asked.
"Without a ruler, how can I know how deep it is to insert?"
Li Dahai grinned. "It depends on the touch. If you plant more, you will learn."
He went to work with his grandfather when he was thirteen years old. The first time he planted rice seedlings, he was in chaos like Brother Su.
After three or four days of planting seedlings, practice makes perfect.
"Does it depend on the touch?" Su Ling took the seedling and slowly inserted it into the mud.
"So?"
The seedling stood up successfully, and Su Ling smiled with joy.
The next second, the seedling crooked again.
Yes, he have to keep up.
Here Su Ling followed Li Dahai and slowly planted rice seedlings.
The villagers he hired over there were so fast that they had already planted an acre of fields in a blink of an eye, and Su Ling admired them.
Sure enough, there is a specialization in the surgery industry, and he is the top pick!
After three rows of seedlings were planted, Su Ling was so sore that she could hardly get up. Li Dahai helped him out of the field with difficulty, and sat down on the grass beside the field.
"Dahai, you sit too." Su Ling saw Li Dahai want to continue planting seedlings, called him out loud, and patted the grass beside him.
"It's okay, Brother Su, I'm not tired." Li Dahai shook his head.
"You are underage, do it count as child labor if I hire you?" Su Ling wiped his hands with a towel around his neck, took a bottle of mineral water from the box shelved on the side, and handed it to Li Dahai.
To hire people for work, in addition to paying wages, you also need to provide water and lunch.
The water is mineral water he bought from a small shop.
For lunch, he asked Aunt Zhang for help.
He used a large iron pot with a clay stove to stir-fry rice noodles. The rice noodles were filled with sliced meat, shrimp, fried eggs, mushrooms, and dried squid.
The working villagers ate with relish, pointing their thumbs up and saying that Su Ling was generous and added so many delicious ingredients.
You know, Shixi Village is poor, and most people are reluctant to eat pork, let alone shrimp and squid.
Li Dahai took the mineral water with a grateful look, and said, "In our village, I am an adult at the age of fifteen. A Zhang from West Village is anxious to find a wife for him."
Su Ling also took a bottle for himself .
Mineral water, twisted the lid, and asked in surprise.
"A Zhang? Is it only fifteen years old?" Is it too early to get a wife at fifteen?
Where's the woman? Is it also a minor? It is illegal to get married before reaching the legal age, right?
Li Dahai said. "He dropped out of junior high school. At the age of thirteen, he and his uncle washed dishes and served dishes in a restaurant in the town. He made two thousand yuan a month."
Su Ling frowned, "Nine-year compulsory education does not require tuition, why not finished junior high school?"
Li Dahai grabbed the grass next to him and said, "Junior high school is in the town. It is not convenient for our village to go to and from the town. His dad is reluctant to spend money on renting a house in the town, so he won't let him study. In addition, he has poor grades and feels like he don't want to study, so he want to work early and earn money to support his family. When he make money, build a new house, marry a daughter-in-law, give birth to a son, and pass on the family line."
Such things are a common phenomenon in remote and poor rural areas.
In the case of Su Ling in developed cities, it was unbelievable.
He felt heavy after hearing what Li Dahai said. These teenagers were supposed to be high-spirited and ambitious, but because of poverty, they carried the burden of the family early.
They were like birds with folded wings, confined in cages and unable to fly high.
They are all children, but they are under pressure that they shouldn't have at this age.
Seeing Su Ling's silence, Li Dahai dropped the grass, got up and patted his butt. "Brother Su, I will continue to work."
Su Ling asked, "If I subsidize tuition, would you like to continue studying?"
Li Dahai turned his head, his eyes widened in disbelief, with a dazed expression on his face. "Study? Can I continue to study?"
Su Ling said gently and honestly.
"As long as you want to study, I will support you, high school, university, postgraduate...until you work."
Li Dahai's black eyes were full of hope.
He opened his mouth, almost ready to respond, suddenly thinking of something, he bowed his head in frustration, his expression gloomy.
"My grandfather won't agree."
If he goes to school, who will take care of his grandparents?
After a stroke last year, his grandfather had trouble with his hands and feet, and was inconvenient to move. Grandma is too old and can't do housework. His parents don't come back all year round.
Who else can support this family besides him?
Seeing him embarrassed, Su Ling persuaded.
"Your grandfather's side, I'll do ideological work."
Li Dahai struggled inwardly and said hesitantly. "It's still... forget it, thank you Brother Su."
He sniffed, and Su Ling smiled, lifted a bundle of seedlings and stepped into the field.
Su Ling looked at his thin back, thoughtfully.
This child clearly likes to read, but because of some concerns, he gave up his future, which is a pity.
There are a lot of people and a lot of power.
A dozen people work together, and planting seedlings in a day of seven acres of paddy fields.
In the evening, the setting sun brightened the entire field red, returning birds flew across the sky, Phoenix Mountain was dyed orange, and the villagers who received their wages went home happy.
Su Ling's clothes and trousers were covered with mud, carrying sneakers in his hand, walking barefoot on the gravel path.
He fell on the edge of the field just now, his rain boots got into muddy water, and his clothes were stained with mud.
He wanted to cry without tears.
He broke the jar and fell.
He took off his boots, stepped into the mud barefoot, and persisted for a few minutes without seemingly imagine it disgusting.
Once a person breaks the principle, he is unscrupulous.
He finished planting the last seedling, looking at a large green field, full of sense of accomplishment, and the mud on his body seemed insignificant.
After entering the courtyard, he walked to the pond, washed the mud on his feet with water, took off his sportswear, and threw it on the grass.
When he was about to take off his pants, King ran out of the house "barking".
"Hey, don't pounce, it's all mud!" Su Ling quickly picked up the coat on the ground to prevent the little things from getting on the ground.
"Wang, Wang Wu!" The little milk dog circled around him.
Helpless, Su Ling hurriedly washed and walked into the house. "I will play with you after I finish the bath, okay?"
"Wang!" The little milk dog shook his tail.
Su Ling bent over and scratched its chin.
Twenty minutes later, he washed himself clean, spreading a half-wet natural curly hair, wearing a loose shirt and jeans, came down from the stairs, picked up the little milk dog squatting on the ground, and rubbed his hands gently.
The guy happily exposed his belly.
After playing for a while, he put down the little milk dog and prepared to make dinner.
"Xiaosu, Xiaosu, are you at home?" Aunt Zhang's loud voice came from outside the courtyard.
Su Ling walked over to open the door and asked suspiciously, "Aunt Zhang, what's the matter?"
Aunt Zhang said, "You go to the village committee, the old Xu's family quarreled with the village head over the compensation money for the road and land."
Su Ling was confused. "Isn't the compensation paid? Why is it noisy?"
Aunt Zhang said."The human heart is not enough, the snake swallows the elephant !"
Su Ling understood in a second.
It is nothing more than someone who is greedy for money and wants to get more compensation. Commonly called, the price starts from sitting on the ground.
Putting dog food in the little milk dog's dog pot, Su Ling put on his coat and went to the village committee with Aunt Zhang.
When he arrived at the village committee office, he saw four or five people surrounding the village head, talking babbledly, the village head's face stretched out and his face was expressionless.
"Hey, let let, let let, Xiao Su is here!" Aunt Zhang's fat body slammed forward, and she insisted on giving Su Ling a way.
When everyone saw Su Ling coming, they calmed down, and stared at Su Ling fiercely, as if he were a moving gold ingot.
Su Ling looked calm, walked to the village head, looked down at the engineering map on the desk, and asked inexplicably, "The village head, have you encountered any problems?"
Village Chief Jin stared at the gray-haired couple in the corner.
He hummed coldly, "Since Xiao Su is here, then you should talk to Xiao Su by yourself, how you want to solve the problem."
Old Xu's face was puckered, his eyes flickered, and the old woman beside him pulled the hem of his shirt and quickly said.
" Uh...that's it...It's a great thing to build new roads, and everyone in the village agrees, but in terms of compensation...is it a bit less?"
Someone took the lead, and a few others immediately followed suit.
"Yeah, yeah, I heard that the Liuhe village next door will pay 100,000 yuan for one mu of land for building roads! Our village only pays 60,000 yuan, isn't it a bit worse?"
"Why not the original piece of lane roads? Newly planned road does not pass through the land of our family, our family is not the compensation would not?"
"Why the hell some people lose much more, some people pay less?"
"This It's too unfair, and we think it's unreasonable." They are all middle-aged and elderly people who are uneducated and over fifty years old.
They all feel that they are at a disadvantage and are vying to get more compensation.
What they say is just ridiculous.
Su Ling turned a deaf ear to their words, picked up the engineering map on the table, and checked it carefully.
A few days ago, he and the village chief went to S city and found an engineering team to build a road.
After negotiating the price, the engineer planned a new road for them.
It turned out that the dirt road out of the village was curved and stretched, not only wasting materials but also wasting the field, so the engineer found the shortest route for them and walked straight from the village entrance to Liuhou stop.
The whole journey was only 1,300. Rice, 800 meters less than the original 2,100 meters, not only shortened the distance, but also saved most of Su Ling's money.
Su Ling and the village chief naturally agreed with both hands, but some villagers did not think so.
They only felt that the compensation they received was less, and those villagers who had not been requisitioned felt that they were at a loss.
Building roads is a good deed, but when it is disturbed by some greedy people, it will change its flavor.
"Everyone is quiet, quietly--" Li Yue'e said, "Xiaosu is a nobleman from the city, and he is willing to donate money to build roads in our village. You are clamoring for compensation, but I don't think it is chilling. Is it?"
The villager was quiet when she said so.
"Sister Li is right." Another village cadre agreed with authenticity.
After so many years, some people are finally willing to pay to build roads. It's too late for them to thank them.
Some people are selfishly trying to make a profit?
The village head solemnly patted the table and said, "Liuhe Village is Liuhe Village, and Shixi Village is Shixi Village. I can't control how their village pays. The price of our village is the result of a meeting and discussion. At the beginning, everyone agreed with their fingerprints. It doesn't make sense. Temporary change. Old Xu, your family's land has been requisitioned for less than half an acre, and the compensation is 30,000 yuan, which has been given preferential treatment."
The compensation for land acquisition in their village fully meets the standards of the local policy.
As the village head, he cannot let the villagers compensate.
But they can't let a good person who donated money to build a road be taken advantage of.
Old Xu stopped talking, his wife Zhang Qiu put a smile on her face.
"Other people's family requisitioned paddy fields, and my family's vegetable fields. I heard people say that the compensation fees for paddy fields and vegetable fields are different, so come here to fight for yourself. Isn't that wrong?"
Su Ling put down the project map and looked towards Lao Xu asked gently, "Uncle Xu thinks how much compensation is appropriate?"
Lao Xu coughed lightly and compared his fingers.
"80,000."
"80,000?" Li Yue'e exclaimed, "Half acre of land or one acre of land?"
Zhang Qiu immediately answered, "Of course it is half acre of land! Vegetable fields are more valuable than paddy fields!"
"80,000, Half an acre--" Su Ling's finger tapped lightly on the engineering map.
If you change to yourself, who has just arrived in the countryside, facing such a situation, he is afraid that will be helpless, and may even agree to pay 80,000 yuan out of sympathy.
However, after living in the countryside for a month now, he have a certain understanding of the villagers, especially when Li Yue's money was paid last week when the salary was paid.
Su Ling understood that doing good things can't be wishful thinking, otherwise some people will have no bottom line.
Old Xu looked at Su Ling expectantly.
Su Ling flicked his finger on the map and asked the village head, "Is this the vegetable plot of Uncle Xu's house?"
The village head said, "Yes, this large area is their home."
Li Yue'e leaned over and looked at the map.
"The new road walks in a straight line and must pass through the land of the old Xu family."
Su Ling smiled. "Actually, it doesn't have to be a straight line."
He talked all the way, and the others were stunned.
What do you mean? Why don't you have to walk in a straight line?
Old Xu's heart even mentioned his throat and grabbed Li Qiu's hand nervously.
Li Qiu was also a little panicked, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at Li Yue'er.
The village head stroked his goatee and frowned in surprise as he watched Su Ling's slender fingers draw a new line on the engineering map.
"Are you going to bypass Old Xu's field?"
Old Xu stared in disbelief.
The author has something to say:
Su Ling: Do I really look like a mobile gold ingot?
Li Dahai: Like!
