The village committee had already discussed the regulations regarding his land purchase. As soon as he passed, several middle-aged and elderly people gathered around him to talk.

One sentence per person, anyway, what he said means that he can only reserve ten acres of land first. If he wants to expand in the future, he can apply again later. After all, he is a foreigner, and he has no one to guarantee him. They need to investigate more.

And you have to write everything clearly about its purpose.

Of course Ye Yaodong has no objection. It would be great to have 10 acres of land. Moreover, there is no guarantee that he will stay in the village for two years. Then he can continue to buy more. The land in the village belongs to the collective and is the decision of the village. Now

The village committee has great power.

Moreover, there is no age limit for land, and the household contract system has only been implemented for a few years.

I remember that the Land Management Law was only passed in 1986 and revised in 1998. The system was not very complete before the millennium.

The land outside the city is not easy to trade, so are you worried that it will be difficult to trade in the village? As long as you are familiar with the village and have a good relationship, it is possible. There is a market nearby and it will not be a problem.

After they agreed, they negotiated the price. The village committee asked for 10,000 yuan for the ten acres of land. Ye Yaodong's eyes widened in surprise and he opened his mouth.

"10,000 yuan!?"

The people in the village committee all looked at each other, thinking he was too expensive.

"Well... after all, you want a larger area, so we can't give you any discount, and we have to explain it to the collective."

"Yes, although it is a wasteland, it is also a big one..."

"You can just do the weeding and weeding. It won't take much effort. The 10,000 yuan is also the result of our discussion."

"If the land you bought in the past was indeed used for normal production purposes, if you buy it again next time, we will give you a smaller discount..."

"You are also in business here. Although dried fish only costs a few cents, you should still make money..."

Ye Yaodong listened to their chatter and realized at this time that they thought he was too expensive, so they tried their best to persuade him.

He immediately put away his excitement, frowned, and pretended to be embarrassed, "This 10,000 yuan is a bit high. In the past two years, a household worth 10,000 yuan was in the newspaper and became a model benchmark. Just a piece of wasteland costs 10,000 yuan, which is a bit high."

It’s outrageous, and it’s also a wasteland in the village. There are quite a lot of such lands in the surrounding area, and there are also quite a lot of wastelands in other surrounding villages..."

The old men immediately answered, "Then your family has lived in our village for a year and is more familiar with us. How worried would it be to buy somewhere else?"

"Yes, the surrounding villages are not as good as our village, nor are they as humane as our village. Everyone is familiar with it."

"That's right. Since you want to settle down, you must choose a familiar place."

"Ten thousand yuan is really not expensive. You are still so young. How many ten thousand yuan can you earn in the future?"

Lin Xianghui glanced at Ye Yaodong and said helpfully: "Uncle, you should be less careful. My brother-in-law is also thinking about the elderly at home, so he wants to build a house. Otherwise, he will also have the boss's workshop and warehouse over there.

, I also have a tractor at home, so it will be convenient to transport goods, so I don’t necessarily need to build another warehouse here.”

"Besides, if he finalizes it, I would like to apply for a homestead. It doesn't need to be big, it just needs to be able to build a house. I also want to settle in our village. I have lived there for a year and I know how good our village is.

, our neighbors are friendly and we all know each other well after living there for a year. They all say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. I also like our village."

Ye Yaodong also said: "Think less, uncle, I bought the wasteland for production, which can be regarded as a contribution to our collective. If it is empty, it will be empty, so it is good to use it."

Several old men lowered their heads and whispered among themselves in local dialect. Ye Yaodong also pricked up his ears, looking at this and that.

After they had almost discussed it, he said, "How about we calculate less?"

The village chief coughed dryly and said, "After discussing with us and thinking about it, we can give you another acre of land. The price will be indispensable. This is also a concession."

Others also nodded.

Father Ye and Lin Xianghui both looked at Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong continued to have a troubled expression on his face, but he was actually happy in his heart. These old men were afraid that his scapegoat would run away. The wasteland was empty anyway, so they would be reluctant to give him less money if they gave him more money.

He also calculated in his mind that according to their village's standards, it would cost 300 yuan to build a house and homestead. This included his own front door and backyard, and the land he drew in, which amounted to almost 1,000 yuan per acre.

The price in their village is the same as the price in this small village in the city. Speaking of which, they still made a profit.

"It's better to have less land. 10 acres of land is enough for me. I just want to build a house, surround a yard, and build a warehouse. There's no need for such a large area."

"Didn't you say you wanted more than ten acres?"

"Then I thought it shouldn't be so expensive? And a large area of ​​land there is also vacant. It totals more than ten acres of land. Everything I thought was taken care of, and I don't have to spare any space."

"Ten thousand yuan is really not expensive anymore. A small shop in the market now costs three to four thousand yuan..."

"How can that be compared? It can't be compared. A shop with a stall has been built, and that shop can be used to do business and make money. Doesn't it cost about two thousand yuan to build a house in our village?

But the house can’t make money, right? What we want now is a piece of wasteland that is of no use to the village.”

An old man next to him gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll give you another acre of land. There won't be any more."

Ye Yaodong took advantage of the victory and continued his efforts, "Add another acre, 13 acres, and I won't negotiate the price. You still have 10,000 yuan."

"Why do you, a young man, keep talking more and more, acre after acre, and you still say you won't negotiate with me on the price?"

"Hehehe, yes, there is no bargaining, it is still the 10,000 yuan you mentioned. Anyway, it is empty, so why don't you give it to me? There are a lot of open spaces in the village. The villagers want to build houses and build houses.

There are a lot of bases and stuff around."

Lin Xianghui also said helpfully: "Yes, it's settled. Let's all take a step back. My brother-in-law is only free today. In a few days, he will go far away. It will take two months for him to come back.

I also want to finalize things as soon as possible. If I wait two months, who knows whether my mind will change again?"

Father Ye couldn't speak Mandarin and could only nod along.

The village chief also knew that Ye Yaodong was going on a long trip in the near future. He mentioned it when he came here two days ago. They originally discussed and decided to ask for 10,000 yuan yesterday, but they just talked casually. Who knows if he will come or when.

Now that they were arguing with each other, Ye Yaodong kept frowning. They also felt that 10,000 yuan was indeed a lot. It was really their village committee's profit to buy a large piece of wasteland. It was empty anyway.

Just now, they would rather give away more land than lower the price, because they thought that for their village, the land is really not as good as converting it directly into money.

Seeing that they were all hesitant, Ye Yaodong took out the money he had with him and said, "I didn't want to make a decision right away as soon as I came out. If I can make a decision, I have 2,000 yuan with me now and I will pay it first.

Let’s type up the application report first. Wait until I get the remaining 8,000 yuan before stamping it. This is my sincerity. If it doesn’t work, wait until I come back in two or three months.”

A neat package of big unity was placed open on the table. Although they have never seen money, anyone will be moved when they see money. What's more, they may not earn 2,000 yuan a year. Seeing it

Of course money makes people itch.

After a middle-aged man nodded, the others also nodded, and the village chief immediately smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll give you 13 acres of land and 10,000 yuan as you said. Now I'll measure the land and give you an application report."

.”

Of course, the attitude was different when they saw the money and not. They were worried that Ye Yaodong would run away and change his mind after two or three months, so they actively went to measure the land despite the scorching sun.

"Okay, by the way, give me a piece of land to build a house for my brother-in-law. How much do you charge for homestead land here?"

"It depends on how big you want to build it. If there is a lot of wasteland, you can measure more appropriately."

They all nodded and went out together.

Although that area is said to be large and wasteland, there are still several households around it, but because it is relatively close to the road, most people build houses on land in the village and will not build them outside the road, so the surrounding open space is

More.

Despite the scorching sun, everyone was still enthusiastically running back and forth on the construction site, writing and drawing with pens and paper.

Ye Yaodong also wanted to make a quick decision. After measuring the land, he asked his father-in-law and his brother-in-law to go to the village committee first. He wanted to make a phone call before the market closed.

He wanted to call back and ask Aqing to bring 8,000 yuan to Aguang on his motorcycle, pay the final payment directly, seal the contract with a seal, and confirm the matter directly, so as to avoid long nights and dreams, and in case these old men rebelled.

, there was no place for him to cry.

When these village cadres knew that he had called back to ask his family to send money and planned to finalize everything today, they became even more happy and did not leave. They all sat with them at the door chatting and waiting.

In the evening, when it was dark, they were not in a hurry to get off work, and Aguang also came on a motorcycle when it was dark.

The sound of motorcycles was heard in the distance, and these old men stood up with their eyes widened.

"Motorcycle..."

"My dear, Bian Sanlun, isn't this from the army?"

"That's right? It's rare to see a few motorcycles in the city. The streets are full of bicycles. If you see them occasionally, they're mostly from the army. They look exactly the same. I saw them once..."

"Good guy, you said you knew the city leaders, are you really not bragging?"

Ye Yaodong chuckled, "What's there to brag about?"

"This is both a tractor and a motorcycle. It's amazing."

"Stop talking, it's getting dark. Count the money, stamp the application report, stamp the transfer contract, and stamp the receipt. We'll make three copies and get the remaining one tomorrow.

Go to the service station to register."

"Okay, okay."

Several village cadres were waiting there, and they counted the money one dollar at a time, very quickly.

After there was no problem with the amount, I simply stamped all the documents.

After they came out of the village committee, children and teenagers had already formed a circle at the door. They were all gathered around the motorcycle, and their eyes were shining. They were extremely rare. Even adults were surrounding them, and there were also

Many people came this way.

Without them having to say anything, the village cadres had already taken the first step to help drive away the people.

After Ye Yaodong made an appointment with them to register together tomorrow morning, he and A Guang rode a motorcycle and drove a tractor out.

Although Aguang's rented house has not expired yet and Huimei has moved back home, they can live in that house directly, but he is worried about the motorcycle parked casually at the door. Anyone who sees it wants to touch it.
