Chapter 176
It’s a coincidence that I asked Mr. Zou for help to find the right person.
After lunch, I finished selling stocks, I received a strange call.
When I heard that it was Mr. Zou called me. Someone wanted to sublease the banana garden and asked me if the 300 acres were beyond my plan?
“300 acres are OK!”
It doesn't matter to me. The old man asked me to go over now and negotiate with the other party in person, and he was waiting for me in the old place.
When we met Mr. Zou, there was also a couple there. The couple was the real owner. The banana garden they contracted was the garden that Mr. Zou saw.
Yao Shixuan and his wife Zhang Qiaofeng have been with this kind of banana for 10 years. They originally planned to work for another 10 years to return to their hometown to retire, but unfortunate news came from the family that his 70-year-old father was seriously ill and he had to go home to serve the elderly. What made the worse was that his mother fell and needed someone to take care of him. The banana could not be planted anymore.
He rented the banana land from 72 farmers and had just paid off the rent for this year. He originally planned to harvest the banana trees and go back to his hometown to spend the winter. There was an unexpected situation and something happened at home.
The father will find it difficult to improve for a while, and I heard from my mother that it will not take too long. They are not at home all year round and are filial to their parents. If they don’t respect their father at this time, they may never have a chance, let alone their mother needs to take care of them.
As for whether he can continue to grow bananas next year, Yao Shixuan had no decision at all. After hearing Mr. Zou said that someone wanted to rent a land, he made up his mind to transfer it and go home with his wife to serve his parents.
In addition to expressing sympathy for the misfortunes encountered by the Yao couple's family, I can only comfort me and not be too sad. After I go back, I actively treat my parents, and maybe a miracle will happen.
I can’t persuade others to be heartless, and I can’t share the sufferings of other people’s families and it will be useless.
When subletting the land, we did not have a financial delivery, so we wrote a sublease agreement to prove that the land here belonged to me and planted it. Mr. Zou became the middle witness. Only then did I realize that Mr. Zou was hired by him to guard the banana forest for him.
Yao Shixuan left me the contact information of 72 households and took his wife Zhang Qiaofeng back to his hometown thousands of miles away.
Since Mr. Zou is guarding the Banana Garden for Yao Shixuan, there is someone here that needs to be there forever, so I invite Mr. Zou to stay and continue to guard here. He is very happy.
It turned out that Mr. Zou was an elderly widowed man. His wife died early and had no children. She had some income from this job, and with the subsidies given by the state, she was still able to live a life of decent life.
There is an iron mobile house in the northwest corner of the banana forest, which is his home. It is said that this house was given to him by the state. His original house in the village collapsed and no one could live in. The village wanted to help him build it, but Yao Shixuan and his wife hired him. At his request, the village gave him a tin house, which would be more convenient to guard the banana garden.
Mr. Zou is a pitiful person, which aroused my sympathy.
I went to the iron house and looked at it. Apart from a wooden single bed, there were a few pots and pans. It was quite simple and there was not even a single electrical appliance. No wonder, there was no electricity here and there was no electrical appliance.
Although the family is alone, Mr. Zou is very satisfied with his current life. He has no desires and no desires. He can help others in this year of tranquility and feel that his life is meaningful.
I deeply admire the old man's attitude of being detached from the world. While he was not paying attention, I entered the space, took some vegetables, fresh fish and eggs, and brought a few big apples to improve his food first.
Mr. Zou laughed:
"Young man, I can't bear the reward without any merits! You have made so many things that I can't eat by myself, and it will be wasted if it is broken. Actually, I don't lack anything here. I have grown a lot of vegetables behind the small house. I have never lacked fresh vegetables here. Those rice, noodles and oils will be given to me every month. That's enough! In this good era, the people are happy and I am content. If I were in the old society, I might have died long ago! Hahaha!"
Mr. Zou is very optimistic. I like this attitude towards things. I have no fighting, no desires, no desires, no selflessness, wide heaven and earth, wide heaven and earth, healthy body, and even widows, widows, widows, orphans, it is hard to say that they will not be happy.
The banana forest was rented, and Yao Shixuan and his wife had to continue to do the work they had not finished.
Mr. Zou told me that if the banana tree that has been picked after bananas is not processed as soon as possible, it will rot in the field and cause pests, affecting the planting of the next year. This matter must not be delayed.
Yao Shixuan and his wife are very diligent. The 300 acres of banana forest are basically managed by two people throughout the process. They can only hire a group of temporary workers when harvesting bananas. There are no outsiders in the fields at other times.
Mr. Zou showed them the main purpose of preventing anyone from destroying the place. In addition, if there is something wrong with the visitor, he could receive the Yao couple temporarily.
In fact, the 2,000 banana seedlings sold to me by Mr. Zou were peeled from the field by the Yao couple. They had sex all the morning. At that time, they had not received any news about their parents' accident and had heard of them at noon.
Now about 2/3 of the banana trees in the field have been cut down, and there are nearly 100 acres left without cutting down. I need to arrange manpower for this.
On the south of Mr. Zou’s small house, there were some tools piled up. In addition to the flatbed car sprayer, I found two extremely sharp machetes, which were the main tools Yao Shixuan and his wife used to work. They used these two machetes to cut down the banana tree.
I asked Mr. Zou, “Why don’t they hire machines to cut?”
Mr. Zou explained:
"It takes a fee to hire a machine. In order to save money, the couple went to the field in person. Fortunately, there is nothing to do in winter. The couple is very capable and can finish it in half a month. After the chopping, there will be a car to help them sell it."
"Sold? Where are these stems sold?"
In fact, this is also a question that I am very concerned about. If these things are not disposed of well, they will become garbage.
"There are actually many places where you need stems, such as paper mills, feed factories, and scientific research institutes. Some of them are used there, but not too many of them are used."
Just have someone to ask for it, I will get familiar with this matter gradually.
What I want to do now is to arrange Rufeng to drive out the cutting machine from the space and finish the remaining banana tree.
Rufeng discovered new buds from the roots of bananas during work. He knew that the banana seedlings I had just transported to the space were these buds, and asked me if I needed to get some more.
Ruyu Rushuang and Zhao Mengfei and others were busy growing bananas in the space. They had no time. Ruxue and others were also busy and couldn't get rid of themselves.
For them, time is very tight, and Rufeng wants to cut the banana tree and let it get the banana seedlings clone.
I thought about it over and over again and decided to give up and buy it directly from the research institute when I needed banana seedlings. Wouldn't it be worrying?
