I have a thousand acres of space

It was a coincidence that I found the right person to ask old man Zou for help.

After lunch, I received a call from a stranger after I finished selling stocks.

As soon as I heard that it was Uncle Zou who called, someone wanted to sublet the banana plantation, and asked me if 300 mu exceeded my plan?

"300 mu is fine!"

It doesn't matter to me.The old man asked me to go over now and negotiate with the other party face to face. He is waiting for me at the old place.

When I saw Uncle Zou, there was another couple there. This couple is the real owner. The banana garden they contracted is the garden that Uncle Zou saw.

Yao Shixuan and his wife Zhang Qiaofeng have been growing bananas for 10 years, and they planned to work for another 10 years to return to their hometown for the elderly, but the sad news came from the family that their 70-year-old father was seriously ill, and he had to go home to take care of the elderly.To make matters worse, my mother also fell and needed someone to take care of her.Bananas can no longer be planted.

He rented the banana field from 72 farmers, and he has just settled the rent for this year.I planned to harvest the banana trees and return to my hometown for the winter.Unforeseen circumstances, something happened at home.

My father won't get better for a while, and my mother said that it won't be too long.They are not at home all year round, and they do little to show filial piety to their parents. If they don't honor their father at this time, they may never have another chance, not to mention that their mother also needs to take care of them.

As for whether he can continue to grow bananas next year, Yao Shixuan hadn't made up his mind at first, but after hearing from Uncle Zou that someone wanted to rent land, he made up his mind to transfer it out and go home with his wife to serve his parents.

In addition to expressing sympathy for the misfortune suffered by the Yao family, I can only advise them not to be too sad, and actively treat their parents after returning home, maybe a miracle will appear.

Persuading people can't persuade them, and I can't share the suffering of other people's families, so it doesn't help.

There is no monetary settlement between the two of us for subletting the land. We wrote a subletting agreement to prove that the land here is rented and cultivated by me.Uncle Zou became an intermediate witness.Only then did I know that Uncle 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 Uncle Zou is guarding the banana garden for Yao Shixuan, and needs someone to be here, I invite Uncle Zou to stay and continue guarding here.He was more than happy.

It turned out that Uncle Zou was a widowed old man, his wife died early, and he had no children. With this job, he had some income, and with the subsidies from the state, he was able to live well.

In the northwest corner of the banana grove, there is a tin prefab house, which is his home.It is said that this house was allotted to him by the state.His original house in the village collapsed and he could no longer live in it.The village wanted to help him turn it over, but Yao Shixuan and his wife hired him. At his request, the village gave him a metal house, which would be more convenient for guarding the banana orchard.

Uncle Zou is a poor man, which arouses my sympathy.

I went to the iron house and saw that apart from a wooden single bed, there were a few pots and pans, which were quite simple, and there was not even a single electrical appliance.It's no wonder that there is no electricity here, and there are electrical appliances that can't be used.

Although his family is poor, Uncle Zou is very satisfied with his current life. He has no desires and desires. In this dying year, he can help others and feel that his life is meaningful.

I deeply admired the old man's detached mentality. 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.

Uncle Zou laughed and said:

"Young man, you don't get rewarded for nothing! You make so many things, I can't eat them all by myself. If they are broken, they will be wasted. In fact, I don't lack anything here. I grow a lot of vegetables behind the small house. I have never been short of fresh vegetables here. Those rice, noodles, and oil are given to me by someone in the village every month. Society, maybe I'm already dead! Hahaha!"

Uncle Zou is very optimistic.I like this kind of attitude, no struggle, no desire, no pursuit, selfless heart, wide body and healthy body, even if you are widowed and lonely, it is hard to say that you will not be happy.

The banana grove was rented out, and the unfinished work of Yao Shixuan and his wife had to be continued.

Uncle Zou told me that if the banana tree after picking bananas is not treated as soon as possible, it will rot in the ground and cause pests, which will affect the planting of the next year.This matter must not be delayed.

Yao Shixuan and his wife are very hardworking. The 300-acre banana forest is basically managed by two people. They only hire a group of temporary workers when harvesting bananas, and there are no outsiders in the field at other times.

Uncle Zou showed them the land mainly to prevent people from vandalizing it, and also to temporarily receive the Yaos and his wife if they had something to do.

In fact, the 2000 banana seedlings that Uncle Zou sold to me were peeled by the Yaos from the field by themselves, and they worked all morning.At that time, they had not received news of their parents' accident, and they only heard about it at noon.

Now about 2/3 of the banana trees in the field have been cut down, and there are still nearly 100 acres of land that have not been felled. I need to arrange manpower for this.

In the south of Uncle Zou’s small house, there are some tools piled up. In addition to the flatbed sprayer, I found two extremely sharp machetes, which are the main tools Yao Shixuan and his wife usually use for labor.They used these two machetes to cut down the banana trees.

I asked Uncle Zou, "Why don't they hire machines to cut it?"

Uncle Zou explained:

"There is a fee to hire a machine. In order to save money, the couple went to the field by themselves. Fortunately, there is nothing to do in winter, and the couple are quite capable. They can finish cutting in half a month. After the cutting is finished, a car will come to pull it. Help them sell."

"Sold? Where are the stalks sold?"

In fact, this is also a problem that I am very concerned about. If these things are not disposed of in a good way, they will all become garbage.

"There are actually many places that need stalks, such as paper mills, feed mills, and scientific research institutes. Some of them are used there, but not too much."

As long as someone wants it, I will gradually get familiar with it.

What I want to do now is to arrange for Rufeng to drive out the cutting machine from the space to finish processing the remaining banana trees.

Rufeng discovered the new sprouts from the roots of the bananas during the work. It knew that the banana seedlings I just transported to the space were these sprouts, and asked me if I needed to get some more.

The space is like rain and frost, Zhao Mengfei and the others are busy planting bananas, they have no time.Ruxue and the others were also so busy that they couldn't get away.

Time is very tight for them, and Rufeng has to cut the banana tree, and let it grow banana seedlings.

I thought about it and decided to give up. When I need banana seedlings, I can buy them directly from the research institute. Wouldn't it be easy?
