Chapter 24 I didn’t realize you were bragging
Feng Yu continued, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to withstand the test of life, that we will become like that, and I'm even more afraid that if we quarrel over trivial matters in the future, my sister will be hurt and she will not be able to stay at home."
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "You shouldn't think about these things. People should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude to have a good life. I'll take you abroad when I have time to show you how white people in Europe and America and black people in Africa think about life. As long as you can live happily, you will never cause yourself trouble. As long as there is sunshine in your heart, life will be bright every day. You should think more about happy things."
Feng Yu said: "Well, I really shouldn't think about these things."
Jiang Ning said, "People will get bored if they stay in one place for too long, so some people like to travel around, walk around, see different customs, and keep themselves in a good mood. I've only been back for three months, and I'm already a little bored. Let's go to Australia for vacation in July when you have your summer vacation. July is winter there, so it's just right for summer vacation. I haven't been to Australia yet!"
Feng Yu raised his head and said, "I have never thought about going abroad. I thought I would never go abroad in my life!"
Jiang Ning said, "Didn't a female teacher write in her resignation letter that the world is so big, you should go out and see more. I should be able to take you anywhere you want to go, except for vacations on the moon and Mars."
Feng Yu laughed out loud: "I didn't even think you were bragging."
Jiang Ning said: "I'm not bragging. If I wasn't tired of fighting and a little homesick and wanted to live a normal and peaceful life, I could gather a group of people in Africa and occupy the land and become a local emperor."
Feng Yu hummed twice and said with a smile: "I feel much better now. Can you take your hand out now?"
Jiang Ning held the beauty of the world in his hands and said, "I haven't touched it enough!"
Feng Yu said: "I feel a little cold."
Jiang Ning immediately pulled his hand out and pulled her clothes up.
Feng Yu took the initiative to kiss him and said, "Let's go, my Mr. Jiang, it's time to go back to bed."
Jiang Ning started the car and drove back to Jixiang Community.
……
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival holiday ended and the company resumed work.
Feng Yu also went to work. This year, the unit went to work on the 18th and the school started on the 21st. There were only a few days left. The faculty and staff had to go to work a few days in advance to prepare for the start of school. Otherwise, there would be no time to prepare if they waited until the first day of school to go to work.
Jiang Ning also got busy, preparing for the start of construction of the farm.
Everything is ready to start work, but there is still no one to run errands.
There is no office space either.
Jiang Ning asked the park to find an office space for him. Shen Liming found him an office space on the second floor of a shop facing North Street. The area of more than 100 square meters was just right. Of course, he had to pay the rent. Jiang Ning called his cousin Zhang Yulong and assigned him a lot of work.
I hired another accountant and a cashier.
We are going to have to spend money soon, how can we do it without finances?
After a few busy days, Feng Yu called and said that he had received a court summons.
Lawyer Gao Jinliang has filed a lawsuit in court and the trial is scheduled to go to the end of March.
Feng Yu was in a bad mood and was most afraid of this kind of trouble.
Jiang Ning comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything!"
As a result, just one day later, he also received a court summons.
Fatty Liu San also sued him, and the trial was held on the same day.
One morning and one afternoon.
One thing requires two people, so Jiang Ning handed it over to Gao Jinliang.
Don't worry about such a small thing and forget about it as soon as you turn around.
Jiang Ning made an appointment with the relevant departments to survey the site, determine the boundaries, and mark the lines. He also asked his uncle Zhang Yuedong to help. After determining the boundaries of the land, he asked Zhang Yuedong to directly install a wire fence to enclose the land.
Zhang Yuedong asked: "What is the price range for wire fences?"
Jiang Ning said, "A cheap one will do. This thing can only protect you from gentlemen. If someone really wants to sneak in, even if we install a protective net like the one in the cell, it won't stop them. For such a large area, we can't afford to install something too expensive."
Zhang Yuedong said, "The cheapest one is 2 yuan per meter, which is just a wire fence."
Jiang Ning said, "Do you have any samples? Uncle, find one for me to take a look at."
Zhang Yuedong took out his phone and found a picture to show him: "That's it."
Jiang Ning took a look and said, "Let's take this one. How much does it cost to install something like this?"
Zhang Yuedong said, "Your land is too big, with a circumference of more than 20 kilometers. The cost of materials is not much, but the main cost is labor. Labor is too expensive nowadays. However, your land is flat, so the installation of this wire mesh is not difficult. Just drive the stakes and fix it on the stakes. Fifteen yuan per meter is about right. I'll give you fifteen yuan for the labor and materials."
Jiang Ning said, "I heard that it costs thirty or forty yuan to install a fence per meter."
Zhang Yuedong said, "There is no uniform price for this thing. It also depends on what is being installed. The more difficult it is to install, the higher the price will be. This kind of wire mesh is easy to install. Just drive the stakes and open it to fix it. A team of four can install 300 meters a day. I'll find some older people who are out working and no one wants them to install it. Thirteen yuan should be enough. If I can control the cost well, I can make 40,000 to 50,000 yuan."
Jiang Ning said: "No need for uncle to save money for me, just follow the market price."
Zhang Yuedong said, "Just fifteen. You have a lot of expenses, so I can just earn less."
Jiang Ning didn't say anything else and just got back to work.
Installing barbed wire is just one task, there is much more to do.
If you want to be rich, you must build roads first, but the county will only build part of the roads.
I will repair the rest myself and give them to my uncle.
Electricity is easy to get. The county has stepped in to coordinate, and the power supply bureau has agreed to build a line.
The only thing left was water. Digging a well was easy and he could do it himself.
The trouble is the irrigation project, which requires burying pipes underground.
Jiang Ning also handed it over to his uncle, planning to complete it in three months.
Zhang Yuedong suggested that he find a maintenance worker as soon as possible and have him watch the construction site. This way, if there is a problem with the water system in the future, it will be convenient for repair. Otherwise, if he finds a maintenance worker later, he may not be familiar with the pipes and it will be very troublesome to repair if a problem occurs.
Jiang Ning agreed and asked his uncle to help him find someone.
But the water mains are underground after all, so it is still very troublesome to repair if there is a problem.
Zhang Yuedong believes that the budget cost of 500 per acre is a bit low. It is difficult to guarantee the quality of the cheapest pipes. After three to five years, there will be leaks here and there. The cost of a second renovation will be very high.
It is suggested that Jiang Ning increase the budget and ask the supervisor to use better pipes.
As for the ground water pipes and nozzles, they are consumables.
The price is also very cheap, just use the cheap one.
Jiang Ningjue’s uncle was right, this thing was just like building a house.
If we cut corners and fail to build it in one go, it will be too expensive to tear it down and rebuild it later. Better pipes are indeed needed for the underground main pipes.
Zhang Yuedong quickly assembled a team, bought materials and started work.
As March approaches, the soil has begun to thaw.
There were no problems with the construction.
Jiang Ning was busy making plans, deciding where to plant trees, what kinds of trees to plant, whether fruit trees or economic forests, what types of fruit trees to plant, which economic forest trees would yield the highest returns, where to create grasslands, and what kinds of animals to raise on the grasslands.
There are too many things involved in planning, so you have to ask someone who knows the subject.
We also need to set up a leisure and entertainment area for him to have fun and relax.
We also need to clear a piece of land to grow some medicinal herbs.
It requires careful research to determine which medicinal materials are valuable and easy to sell.
A week later, Jiang Ning took some time to visit the scene.
The road is still under construction and there are potholes everywhere.
I found that most of them had been fenced off.
When he found his uncle, Zhang Yuedong was there watching the workers working.
Jiang Ning got out of the car and called out to his uncle, then went over and said, "You work pretty fast!"
Zhang Yuedong said: "We have found 40 people, four people in a group, three kilometers a day, and we can finish it tomorrow."
Jiang Ning asked: "How much did it cost?"
Zhang Yuedong said, "The materials and poles cost 26 yuan, and the labor cost yuan a day. Add in the other materials, logistics, transportation, fuel, etc., and it's about yuan. I roughly calculated that the total distance is about kilometers."
Jiang Ning said, "I'll ask the finance department to transfer some money to you later."
Zhang Yuedong said: "Don't worry, this won't cost much. Road construction and water supply are the big expenses. Money is not easy to spend. Tens of thousands a day can't stop it. If it can't cover it, I will tell you."
Jiang Ning nodded, his uncle was very reliable.
Seeing several workers looking at him, he suddenly felt that he looked familiar.
They look a bit like relatives...
Jiang Ning asked, "Is it Li's second uncle?"
The old migrant worker smiled and said, "Jiang Ning still recognizes me!"
"Ouch……"
Jiang Ning hurried forward, stretched out his hands and shook Li Fumin's dusty and dry hands, saying: "I haven't seen my second uncle for many years. I almost didn't recognize him. During the Chinese New Year, Brother Jun came to my house and we had a drink. I had discussed with my brother that we should go and pay New Year's greetings to the uncles, but my girlfriend came back on the fifth day of the New Year, and I was too busy to take care of it..."
Suddenly I realized that the person next to me looked familiar.
Looking more closely, it turned out to be Li Fuguo, the eldest son of the Li family.
The change is so great that it is almost unrecognizable.
Jiang Ning hurried over and shook hands. He was a little confused. Why were all the people here relatives?
And they all came as a couple.
After chatting for a few minutes, Zhang Yuedong introduced him to him.
Not only the eldest and second sons of the Li family came to work, but there were also several relatives.
They are the sons of his mother's uncle, and of course they are also his uncle's cousins, so they can be considered his uncle. However, his mother has not been in contact with her cousins from her uncle's family for a long time, so Jiang Ning has certainly never seen them. It's not that his uncle said he didn't know them at all.
After chatting for a few sentences, he and Zhang Yuedong walked aside.
Jiang Ning asked, "Uncle, why are all the people doing your work relatives?"
Zhang Yuedong said: "I'm old now, and there's nowhere else to make money. No one wants me if I go out there. Where else can I go but to my place?"
Jiang Ning nodded and said, "On the fourth day of the New Year, Li Jianjun came to my house to pay New Year's greetings. My brother and I planned to go and pay New Year's greetings to my second uncle as well, but we got too busy to do so. I will book a table tonight and invite a few uncles to have dinner. You and your aunt can come as well."
Zhang Yuedong nodded and said, "Your eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle and youngest uncle are here too, in section two."
Jiang Ning: "..."
What a constant surprise.
The eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle and youngest uncle that Zhang Yuedong mentioned are naturally not the cousins of the Li family, but the two sons of his eldest grandfather and third grandfather, and also the cousins of his uncle and Jiang Ma, although they do not usually interact with each other.
But when holding a banquet, there is still courtesy and reciprocity.
Jiang Ning also knew them all, so he could only say, "Then let's all go. I'll call my parents too, and you guys can get together."
Zhang Yuedong said: "Why spend that money? Just eat at the construction site."
Jiang Ning said, "Let's get together. After all, you are working for me, so I can't just pretend I don't know."
Zhang Yuedong said nothing more.
As a result, wait until dinner time.
More than half of the people working on the construction site have come, forty workers, more than twenty of them are my mother's relatives.
There are Jiang Ning’s elders and also his distant cousins of the same generation.
Some I know, some I've never seen.
Jiang Ning didn’t know that he had so many relatives.
