The village chief of Chenjia Village is also named Chen. He is a distant relative of Chen Mo. His name is Chen Delin. He calls the village chief Uncle Delin. Speaking of which, the entire Chenjia Village is a distant relative. Even bad-mouthed Chen and the like are related, so The relationship between the villagers is pretty much the same. Except for a few people who are annoying, the relationship between the others is pretty good.
"Uncle Delin, what are you busy with?" Chen Mo asked when he saw Chen Delin after arriving at the village committee office, and handed him a cigarette.
The village committee is a house without courtyard walls, and it is also located close to the road. The building isolation is a small L-shaped two-story building. Chen Delin is the village party secretary and village chief of Chenjia Village. This is because basically all the laborers in the village have gone out to work, and the remaining people are old and young, and there are not many young people left. Therefore, people in the village generally do not care too much about the position of the village committee. As long as their own interests are not involved, anyone can become a village committee cadre.
Just like this time Uncle Chen Mo wanted to be elected as the village committee director, there were basically not many people competing for it. Of course, it is also related to the fact that the village does not have many resources and good income. If it is like some suburban villages, the village committee position is quite popular.
"Who am I talking about? It turns out it's you, a boy!" Village head Chen Delin took the cigarette with a smile, lit it and started smoking.
"Yeah, it's not good that I haven't been back to see you for a long time. Here is a little bit of my nephew's thoughts!" Chen Mo said, passing the cigarettes and wine and placing them at Chen Delin's feet. You can't put it on the table, it would be very bad if someone comes in and sees it.
Chen Delin looked at Chen Mo's cigarettes and alcohol on the ground, and his eyes narrowed with laughter. It seems that Erwazi has not changed much since he went to college. He is still so sensible and polite.
"You! You're interested!" said the village chief Chen Delin. He was quite concerned about his second son, Chen Mo. When Chen Mo was in college, his family collected several thousand yuan for Chen Mo's tuition, not to mention giving it back to Chen Mo. Bought some clothes and so on. All in all, he is a branch of Grandpa Chen Mo's father's generation, so in terms of relationship, he is relatively close. So Chen Mo bought these gifts and he would not refuse them. This was the child's wish.
"Uncle Delin, why aren't there many people in the village committee?" When Chen Mo came in, he saw that some offices were empty, and a big iron lock locked the door. It looked like no one was using it. house.
"Oh! Isn't it time to elect a village director? There may also be a young cadre appointed to the town in the near future. Then there will be more people." said the village chief, Uncle Delin.
"Huh? The town has appointed a village chief. What about you, Uncle Delin?" Chen Mo asked curiously.
"I was originally the village chief and the village party secretary, but this was not allowed by the policy, so if a village chief was sent over, I would be the village party secretary." Uncle Delin said.
"Oh! That's what happened." Chen Mo nodded, and then asked: "Uncle, can the young man sent as the village chief do the job?"
"What are you afraid of! I'm still here to hold on, what the hell will happen! If he messes around, I will definitely let him go back to where he came from!" Uncle Delin said domineeringly.
Chen Mo just nodded, forget it! These are beyond your control, just do your own thing.
"Erwazi, your studies are over?" Villager Chen Delin asked.
"Not yet. I have to go there in half a year to get my diploma!" Chen Mo replied.
"Then what are your plans? Are you working in the city?"
"No! I'm majoring in biology. I'm thinking that there are some jobs in the city that aren't suitable for me. I might as well go home and find something to do. Aren't I just thinking about what I can do!" Chen Mo smiled. answer.
"That's true! But all the young people in the village have left, and there aren't many like you who come back to develop!" Village Chief Chen Delin said with a sigh.
"Yes, I originally thought about staying in a big city, but considering that my parents are older, it would be easier to take care of them if I were by their side!" Chen Mo said.
"It's good to go home. Your parents have to wait and enjoy the blessings, right? But, Erbazi, you are already a college student. Don't you think it would be a pity if you gave up life in the city?" Village Chief Chen Delin asked.
"Hey! What's the pity? The employment situation in the city is not very optimistic now. Many college students have no jobs after graduation. They might as well go back to their hometown to develop." Chen Mo said with a smile. Anyway, these words are similar, basically a lot Everyone already has this awareness.
"Yeah! That's right. In fact, the city is really not as good as the countryside now. After the country canceled the agricultural tax, it is also vigorously developing agriculture. It is also a good time. But there must be good projects." Village head Chen Delin said .
"Yes! I think so too. My major is biology. If I can't find a job in a related major even if I stay in the city, I might as well go home and look for a project." Chen Mo said.
"Haha! That's right!" Village Chief Chen Delin asked.
"Uncle Delin, I came to see you today firstly to see you when I come back. Secondly, I want to contract the fields around my old house. In addition, there are several families near the old house whose homesteads are also abandoned. Where are they? I also want to buy it, do you think it will work?" Chen Mo asked.
"Oh? You want to contract the land? Does your family agree?" Uncle Delin asked. Although he had a good impression of his second son, Chen Mo, he also knew his family's financial situation, so he asked specifically because it was out of the old man's concern.
"Yes! We have discussed this with my dad, and he agrees." Of course Chen Mo understood what Delin meant.
"That's good! Let's wait for the matter of the homestead. Let's talk about the fields first. The fields around your old house are very large, with two hundred acres of land. How many acres do you want to contract?" Village Chief Chen Delin asked.
"Uncle Delin, I want to contract all of these 200 acres of land. In addition, I also want to contract the hillside land next to the 200 acres of land and the wasteland near Hulu Valley." Chen Mo replied.
"It would be easy for you to contract the wasteland near Hulukou, which is only about 20 acres in size. But if you contract the 200 acres of fields around your old house and the hillside above, then you have to think carefully. The area is about 500 acres, plus the more than 200 acres of woodland on the hillside, it is not a small amount." Village leader Chen Delin watched Chen Mo grow up, and he did not want to see Chen Mo slap his head and get hot-headed. Just rent the land. This year's rent is a huge amount.
"Uncle Delin, I've thought about all this, don't worry!" Chen Mo said.
Chen Delin nodded. Since Chen Mo had thought about it, he couldn't stop it. He took out the village land planning map, pointed to the location of the land on the map, and said to Chen Mo.
"Well, the contracting fee is 20,000 yuan per year. This price is the price in previous years and has not increased. If you contract, just follow this price. As for the more than 20 acres in front of Hulu Valley next to your old house The left and right wasteland, even if it is 20 acres, is calculated at this price, which is 2,000 yuan per year, totaling 22,000 yuan per year. As for the hillside where there are about 860 acres of hillside land, the contracting fee is 50 yuan per mu, which is 43,000 yuan per year. Expenses." Chen Delin said, having been the leader for so many years, he was very knowledgeable about village affairs and would just speak up.
Chen Mo nodded, already knowing the price, so he didn't say anything more. The price given by Uncle Delin is very cheap. If it were contracted by someone from outside the village, the price might increase a lot.
