At this time, the horse was blessed and Juanzi rode the car to the field.

"Defu'er~" Li Shuihua greeted him generously after seeing him again. She had gotten rid of her knot in her heart.

"Shui Hua'er, why are you here?" Ma Defu was a little surprised when he saw Shui Hua'er.

"Come with the man," Shui Hua'er said with a smile, "Defu'er, this is the man Yongfu'er. Yongfu'er, this is my classmate Ma Defu."

"Hello, Comrade Ma, I've heard Shui Hua'er mention you a long time ago." Xiang Nan stepped forward and greeted with a smile.

"Hello Comrade An, I've heard your name a lot lately." Ma Defu also said with a smile.

"A little nickname is not worth mentioning." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Comrade Ma, did you bring this tractor?" Ma Defu asked.

"Yes. Dad, my father-in-law is old and it is too difficult to open up wasteland. So I hired two tractors to help them prepare the land and save them from being tired." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"You are so filial." Ma Defu said with a smile, "Comrade An, how much did you pay for this tractor?"

"Twenty per acre," Xiang Nan introduced.

Ma Defu nodded, "Comrade An, I want to discuss something with you and let them prepare the land for us, okay?"

"Of course, no one can make money if they can." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "It's not easy for them to make this trip. Naturally, the more land they can cultivate, the better."

Originally, this tractor was not willing to come. After all, there are only a few acres of land and it has to be driven dozens of kilometers. There is not even enough money for gas. It was Xiang Nanduo who spent more money to hire these two machines.

"Can we discuss with them and lower the price? If the price per acre is reduced to fifteen, then everyone can afford it," Ma Defu said again.

It is really hard for the villagers to make money. They work very hard in the brick kilns and can only earn a few dollars a day. They also have to save money to build a house and buy water to irrigate the fields... It is really hard work.

"Okay, let's go discuss it with them." Xiang Nan nodded, and then went to find the two drivers.

…

After some discussion, the two drivers lowered the price to eighteen, which was two yuan cheaper per mu.

"Comrade Ma, do you think this price is appropriate?" Xiang Nan asked.

"Oh, it's still a bit expensive. Eighteen yuan, oh, it takes several days to take off the bricks before you can squeeze it." Ma Huanshui smacked his teeth and said.

"Eighteen yuan can buy ninety kilograms of white flour. It's too expensive. With that kind of money, I might as well buy noodles." Li Dayou said reluctantly.

"Eighteen yuan is enough to buy one hundred and eighty buckets of water, and you can drink it for a year. No, no, it's too expensive." Yang San shook his head.

"Call Uncle Shui, Uncle Dayou, you can't settle the account like this. If you hire this machine, you can clear the land in one day and plant the seeds tomorrow.

It's only July now, and you can still plant soybeans, millet, and vegetables... and you can earn an extra year's income. If you don't use machines and just rely on manpower, I'm afraid it won't be until next year that the land is cleared.

At that time, it will not only waste manpower, but also make less money for a year." Xiang Nan advised.

"You are right, but we really have no money." Li Dayou spread his hands and said.

"Yes, that's the truth. The key is that the folks are really poor." Ma shouted for water.

In fact, he also felt that what Xiang Nan said was reasonable. It was really too slow to prepare the land by manpower alone. It was digging the ground, picking up stones, and turning over the soil... It was difficult for a family to complete the allotted land in one year.

Nowadays, there are machines that can finish the work in a short time, which is really convenient. The time saved can be used to plant more crops and work for a few more days, which is indeed a good thing.

But a penny can't help a hero. The people in Jintan Village are really poor.

…

"Well, call the driver here, and you can talk about your difficulties. Maybe they will be soft-hearted and they can lower the price." Xiang Nan thought for a while and suggested.

"Why are you so embarrassed?" Ma Defu was a little embarrassed.

Xiang Nan was promising and had made a lot of money. He hired a tractor for twenty yuan an acre and spent it lightly. He didn't take it seriously at all.

He had to sell his house at a very low price, and to be honest, it made him feel that he had no face in front of Shui Hua.

Although he knew that he and Shui Hua were not destined to be together anymore, he still didn't want her to see his embarrassing side.

Ma shouted for water, Li Dayou, Shan Men, Yang San and others didn't care. They immediately went over to surround the driver and told them their sufferings, hoping to get the driver to make another concession.

After much effort, the driver finally agreed to lower the price to 17 yuan, which was still 2 yuan short of the psychological price for people in Jintan Village.

They wanted to beg again, but the driver refused to agree.

After all, they have fuel consumption, losses, and wages, so they can't work in vain.

"Comrade Ma, how much land does our Jintan Village have?" Xiang Nan asked.

"Nearly four hundred acres of land." Ma Defu introduced.

Forty-two households have come to Jintan Village now, and nearly 400 acres of land have been allocated, with more than 4,000 acres left for villagers who have not come yet.

"Let's do this, uncles and gentlemen, let me say something~" Xiang Nan cleared his throat and shouted, "You still pay fifteen acres, and if you don't have enough money, I will add it."

"Ah, why are you embarrassed?" Ma Defu said even more embarrassed when he heard this.

"Oh, this won't work. How can I get you to pay for it?" Ma Huashui said embarrassedly.

"Young students, together we have hundreds of acres of land." Li Dayou also said, "Can you really afford it?"

"Dad, my father-in-law has immigrated to Jintan Village. You will all be my fellow villagers from now on. If you lend me a hand to help me, you are not considered an outsider." Xiang Nan said, "From now on, we will all live in the same village. It is inevitable.

There are times when we need to help each other. Uncle, I will help my father-in-law’s family more in the future.”

"Oh, this kid is so righteous!"

"Shui Hua, you are such a good man!"

"We have a good son-in-law in Yongquan Village!"

When the villagers heard this, they were all full of praise.

Then, the tractor roared again.

…

"Yong Fu'er, you are such a good person~" Shui Hua hugged Xiang Nan's arm and said affectionately.

Xiang Nan saved the whole village with just one word, sparing them so much hard work and making her feel happy for them.

"As long as you're happy. I just said this without consulting you. I'm afraid you won't be happy." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"What you did is a good thing, of course I'm happy." Shui Hua smiled.

Ma Defu couldn't help but sigh when he saw the water splashing and Xiang Nan's intimate look.

…

The tractor worked for nearly a day and finally cleared all the land in the village.

After finishing the surgery, Xiang Nan and Shui Hua took a ride back to the city. Before leaving, he left three thousand yuan to An Guomin and asked him to build a house for his two younger brothers and his father-in-law Li Laoshuan.

The reason why he didn't give it to Li Laoshuan directly was because he was worried that Li Laoshuan would not build a house with the money and would spend it on eating and drinking. When the time comes, no matter whether he reaches out for money or eats and drinks...that would be useless.

It's over.

"Yongfu'er, Shuihua'er, stay and eat~"

"The food is ready, let's stay and eat~"
