Liu Xiaojun's mother and Zhao Peng's grandmother are cousins, so if the two families force each other, they can still find some marginal relatives.

Zhao Peng and his father bought a cigarette from the canteen and took it with them to Liu Xiaojun's house.

Liu Xiaojun was enjoying the cool outside the door. When he saw Zhao Peng and his son, he frowned slightly.

He knew the situation of Zhao Peng's family, and he also knew that Zhao Zhengzheng had borrowed money from everyone in the village. Although he didn't borrow much in the end, he made the whole village aware of the family affairs.

"Could it be that you have found my door now, or do you want some special support from the village?" Liu Xiaojun felt a little uneasy.

He knew that the brothers of the Zhao family were at odds with each other, and that his old rivals Zhao Zhengyi and Zhao Zhengzheng were at odds with each other.

Strictly speaking, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

But having said that, he and Zhao Zhengyi were only competing secretly. On the surface, the two of them were good comrades and good partners who wrote for each other.

He didn't want to openly break up with Zhao Zhengyi because Zhao Zhengzheng was such a worthless person, which would do him no good at all.

He wanted to see first what the father and son wanted to do.

He deliberately pretended not to see it. When Zhao Peng and his son came very close, he suddenly stood up and said enthusiastically: "Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

The brother-in-law also spoke politely, taking advantage of his mother's relationship. He should be called brother-in-law Zhao Zhengzheng.

Zhao Zhengzheng was a little embarrassed. The person in front of him was the village party secretary after all, and he was already considered a big leader in his eyes. It was the first time for him to talk to someone about this kind of thing, so he was a little embarrassed.

"Xiaojun, you are enjoying the cool air."

"It's a cool day. It's a strange day. It was very cold a few days ago. In just a few days, it has become so hot in the blink of an eye. It's really unpleasant. Brother-in-law, come here and sit inside for a while."

"Okay." Zhao Zhengzheng followed Liu Xiaojun to the main room.

Although he is only the village party secretary, Liu Xiaojun's home has been decorated very well.

Judging from the appearance of the main house, it doesn't cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, so I'm afraid it won't fit in.

Liu Xiaojun sat on the chair next to the Eight Immortals table and asked Zhao Zhengzheng to sit opposite. Zhao Peng had no place to sit, so he temporarily stood behind his father.

"Is this your eldest son? He has grown so tall. How old is he?"

"Uncle, I happen to be eighteen years old this year."

In fact, Zhao Peng is not yet seventeen years old, but he is tall and looks very mature, so there is no problem in pretending to be eighteen years old.

The reason for pretending is mainly because he is worried that his father will say something bad and he will make up for it.

If he is under the age of eighteen, he is still a child and others will not take him seriously. But after he turns eighteen, he becomes an adult in the legal sense and his words are much more trustworthy.

"You're already eighteen, so he's the same age as our eldest son. Not bad. How are you studying?"

"It's okay, uncle."

"Okay, okay, just okay. You have to study hard. It's not easy for your parents. Don't live up to their expectations of you."

"I know, uncle."

After basically finishing some polite words, Liu Xiaojun returned to the topic, "Brother-in-law, why are you coming so far to see me so late?"

Liu Xiaojun was in the fifth team and Zhao Peng was in the third team. There was at least three miles between them.

Zhao Zhengzheng looked back at Zhao Peng, and then said: "That's it, Xiaojun. You also know the situation in our family. Your sister is not in good health and now she has to take medicine every day. My left leg muscle atrophy is grade three.

He is disabled. There are three children at home who have to go to school, and there is very little land, so eating is also a problem."

Liu Xiaojun couldn't bear it. He knew what Zhao Zhengzheng said before.

This kind of thing is really difficult.

However, there are many people in difficulty, and he cannot take care of everyone. He is just a village party secretary, not a living Bodhisattva who can conjure money and food.

So he smiled bitterly and shook his head, indicating that he could understand Zhao Zhengzheng's difficulty.

Zhao Zhengzheng continued: "If we don't find a way, then our family will not be able to survive. But I can't work outside with my legs, and I can't exert my strength. It's not the same thing to just stay at home and have nothing to do. So.

, after thinking again and again, I have to come to you."

"Brother-in-law, I know your family's situation. If you are really financially strapped, you can write a description of the situation and give it to me. I will try to look around the town to see if I can think of a solution."

Liu Xiaojun just said that of course he would not actually do these things for the Zhao family.

But if you don't say this, it seems that he, the village party secretary, has no role at all, so this is a delaying tactic.

Just send these two people away.

"That would cause trouble for the government. That's not what we came here for today."

If it wasn't for this, could it be that you were borrowing money from me?

Liu Xiaojun felt secretly embarrassed.

Everyone in the village knew the conditions and conditions of Zhao Zhengzheng's family. No one was willing to lend him money, not because they didn't believe in his character, but because they were worried that he wouldn't be able to repay it even if he wanted to.

Think about it too.

There are two sick people in the family, three children who need to go to school, there is no extra land in the field, and there is no extra food in the family.

Then why pay someone back money? Who dares to lend it to him?

"Then..." He didn't dare to ask, and he was so worried that if he really borrowed money from him, he would find some excuse to avoid it, which would not hurt anyone's feelings and could perfectly resolve the crisis.

"Xiaojun, do you know that our third team has dozens of acres of wasteland near the ditch?"

Liu Xiaojun was stunned, "I know, those dozens of acres seem to have been abandoned for some years. I heard from the captain of your team that he has always wanted to find someone to contract it out, but because the land is too barren and there is no way to plant it, no one has been willing."

Zhong. Why do you ask this?"

Zhao Zhengzheng hesitated for a moment, then said: "I want to contract some land and try to plant it, but I don't know if it will work. We don't have much land at home, and I can't do hard work, so I want to slowly clear out the land so that I can supplement it."

Supplement household expenses.”

So that’s it!

Liu Xiaojun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you don't borrow money, it's fine. Those dozens of acres of wasteland were originally lying idle, waiting for someone to contract it. Now since they are willing to contract it, let it be contracted to them.

"You know the conditions of those lands. Because they are beside a ditch, they are always dry and cannot retain water. It is probably a bit difficult to grow food."

The land beside the ditch on the Loess Plateau has a special situation, that is, it cannot retain water.

In other words, if some water finally falls on a rainy day, it will flow directly into the ditch due to the loose soil, causing the land beside the ditch to be unable to absorb water for a long time. This is why the land beside the ditch cannot be allocated and no one has contracted it.

.

"It doesn't matter, let's try to think of a way to collect more or less."

"That's no problem. I remember that the cost of contracting one acre of land is 50 yuan, and 50 acres of land is 2,500 yuan. If your family's situation is not good, you can apply for a reduction, and you can probably get it for 2,000 yuan."

After Liu Xiaojun finished speaking, he thought Zhao Zhengzheng would be happy, but found that he was still unhappy. He seemed to have something to say but couldn't say it.
