Chapter 261 Planting Trees
After seeing Doctor Luo off, no one knew what to say when faced with Erlang who remained silent.
"It's late, everyone's tired after a long day, let's all go to bed." Lin instructed gently, "Jingwen, lend a hand and help carry Erlang into the house."
Several children supported Erlang and slowly entered the west room.
Lin turned around and said, "Dad and Mom, you guys should go to sleep too. We can ask you tomorrow if you have anything to ask."
Old Man Cui nodded: "Okay."
Old Mrs. Cui shook her head. She had been surprised and happy all day. What a mess.
The next morning.
Lin met with the village head and followed the delivery ox cart into the city.
It was the first time for the village head to ride in the Cui family's ox cart. Ordinary ox carts only had a board at the back. When encountering bumps, he had to hold on to the board tightly with both hands. If the distance was long, his back would ache.
The ox cart of Lao Cui's family was surrounded by fences, and people could sit in it without worrying about falling off.
"This car is really good. It's almost catching up with the county magistrate's carriage. We can get into the city in no time."
The village head even felt that this car was much better than a horse-drawn carriage. Horse-drawn carriages were not ventilated and it was hot and stuffy to sit in in the summer. How could it be as comfortable as this car?
Lin smiled and talked to the head of the village about the land, saying that she wanted to buy all the vacant land around the new house, but she didn't have enough money now, so she asked the head of the village to help her reserve some.
The village head was already numb to the Lin family's purchase of land, and waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
In fact, even if she didn't say it, no one would buy these lands.
He was confident enough about this matter. Xiahe Village was a deserted place and no one from other villages came to buy land in large quantities. Not to mention the villagers, even if they wanted to buy land, they would not go so far.
It is said that the Cui family now owns nearly a hundred acres of land.
It is definitely impossible to cultivate so much land alone. I asked Yu Datou's family to help me cultivate the previous 20 acres of land. This time I bought so much more, so I must hire people.
The head of the village silently calculated in his mind that there were few families in the village who had little land and were honest people.
After these emergences, Xiahe Village has transformed from an unknown small village into a well-known village known to everyone in the county government.
With his fame, the people in the county government became much more enthusiastic and completed the procedures quickly.
Originally, the head of the village and Lin planned to say hello to the county magistrate, but they were told that County Magistrate Wang had gone to the provincial capital and would not be back for a day or two, so the two had no choice but to go back.
Once you have land, you need to start planting.
On the way back, Lin indeed mentioned the matter of hiring someone to the village head.
However, unlike what the village head expected, Lin wanted to hire twenty people.
"Well, fifty acres of land doesn't require twenty people. One person can take care of five acres of land. Ten people at most are enough for your land."
Lin explained, "I don't plan to grow crops. These people were hired to plant saplings and will no longer be needed after they are planted."
The village head couldn't understand why trees were planted on such a good piece of land.
I heard that wealthy families would build a garden at home and plant some trees and flowers. Does Jingwen's mother want to use these dozens of acres of land to build a garden?
These are also wasted.
The headman's expression changed constantly, and it was hard to describe in words. In his opinion, land should be used to grow crops. Planting some useless trees was a waste of money.
Seeing that the village head didn't respond, Lin explained a few more words, saying that she planned to plant wild grape vines on all the dozens of acres of land.
The village head couldn't understand it at all.
Wild grapes can't be sold for a lot of money, but you still want to plant dozens of acres?!
It would be better to build a garden so that the villagers can also experience the life of the rich.
However, the village head knew that Lin had many ways to make money, so he didn't ask any more questions and promised to ask people to plant trees when he returned to the village.
