Chapter 180 – Special Man

“Go do it. I’m not telling you because of that,” Sister Xu scolded.

She just believed that Ji Jianyun and Su Danhong were blessed, and that’s it. This was related to her man’s job, okay?

Su Danhong was a really good person, and people remembered her good qualities. This fruit season brought a lot of fruit and she sent some over. Her son and Ji Xiaodong were in the same class, and occasionally went to her house to play. She heard that they were always given omelets.

In addition to that, she really wants to be good friends with Su Danhong. Tomorrow, she was going to take a wool ball over to knit with her. Su Danhong had a lot of knitting patterns.

The relationship between them was not bad, so this matter was not a problem.

The village director laughed.

Such a capable man came from his village, and the atmosphere in the entire village had improved. It improved his reputation.

In addition, Ji Jianyun’s decision to contract the reservoir also made him look better, and the village director naturally took care of it.

The next day, the village director got busy. Sister Xu didn’t go with him. She suspected that he wanted to take credit for helping with the contract. So she waited a few days before visiting Su Danhong.

Ji Jianyun waited for the news. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ ??????? ??? ?????????? ??? ???? ?? ?????????.??? ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

He had a net and was ready to catch some fish.

The village director didn’t make him wait long. He gave the news that it was okay to contract the reservoir. However, if the reservoir was contracted, then eventually there was going to be a water shortage in several villages.

So that’s why the only condition was that the reservoir could not be drained.

As for the cost of contracting, it was also quite a lot. For 20 years, the reservoir was about 80 acres. It was 40 yuan for 1 acre for 20 years. That was 3,200 yuan for 80 acres.

The cost was indeed a lot. It was much more valuable than the mountains. How much was two mountains? It was only 1,000 yuan for everything.

However, the reservoir was different. The 80 acre reservoir would be equally divided to be paid in two decades. 1 year was 160 yuan. It seemed like a lot. However, the price of fish had gone up. How much was one fish? How many fish would total 160 yuan?

Ji Jianyun still couldn’t afford it. He said, “Let me pay 1,000 yuan first, and then I will slowly pay for it.”

“That’s not a problem,” The village director answered him quickly.

There were cases like this when contracting. Credit was allowed, especially for Ji Jianyun, who was not worried about paying back the money owed.

The reservoir was owned by the villagers. They started the process for contracting it, and they didn’t need to report it to the county town. All the village committees signed and sealed it. They contracted the reservoir to Ji Jianyun.

Of course, the money Ji Jianyun gave for contracting was distributed to all the villagers in the surrounding villages.

There were a lot of people in the surrounding villages. The 3,200 was going to be given out equally to each person. Each family was going to get a share.

In the end, the money was given to the village directors of each village to give away. Ji Jianyun paid 1,000 yuan and promised to pay off the rest next year.

Several surrounding villagers heard that he contracted the reservoir. Although Ji Jianyun owed money, they didn’t say anything.

Who didn’t know Ji Jianyun in the surrounding area? It could be said that people in several villages didn’t know the name of the other village directors, but they have heard of Ji Jianyun’s name.

Ji Jianyun had a large orchard, and the second orchard was about to become successful. There were also chicken coops, sheep sheds and pig pens in the orchard. Who did not have that in mind when they thought of Ji Jianyun?

Lao San from the Lao Ji’s family was really capable.

People like Aunt Cai in Ji Jianyun’s village were pretty envious. She said to Mother Ji, “Jianyun has been really capable since he was a child. Now the reservoir is also contracted. I think he will definitely be a famous 10,000 yuan household in the future!”

“What is a 10,000 yuan household? You are being so ridiculous. He owes the other villagers more than 2,000 yuan. Just thinking of this money makes my heart shake!” Mother Ji complained.

She learned about it a few days ago, and she did not agree that Ji Jianyun should have contracted the reservoir. She had similar concerns as Father Ji.

Mother Ji had pulled her son aside and asked, “Your father and I have nearly saved 700 or 800 yuan here. Do you want to use it?”

However, it was rejected by Jianyun. He didn’t want their money and told her to keep it for themselves. The money was going to be paid back next year. How could he use their money?

“Jianyun makes money so quickly and he sells a lot of goods everyday. The money is not a big problem for him, is it?” Aunt Cai looked at her and was a bit uneasy.

Although she knew that Jianyun made a lot of money every day, the daily labor cost was also clearly there. Moreover, more than 2,000 yuan was really a huge sum of money!

“How is that not a problem? Did you think it was going to be paid immediately? There’s a lot of things that require money later. With the way the reservoir is, it must be repaired. What doesn’t need money now? His father and I don’t agree, but he insisted. He has to do so many things at home, so what’s the point of this reservoir?” Mother Ji retorted.

Despite that, Aunt Cai felt that it made sense. “It’s a lot, but don’t bring it up anymore. Since he has contracted, you can only support him. Who in the village around us would not boast about Jianyun’s ability? In the future, just enjoy happiness!”

“I don’t know how to enjoy happiness like that. I have to ask Jianyun to fence the reservoir first. Otherwise, who is going to be responsible for any accidents?” Mother Ji added. She stopped gossiping with her and went directly to Ji Jianyun.

Aunt Cai thought of this and did think that it was truly a worry. After all, there were several accidents that had happened in the reservoir.

It used to be open to the public. Nobody cared for it, and then no one could find someone to take care of it when incidents happened. Now the reservoir belonged to Jianyun. If there was an emergency, Aunt Cai could not dare to think about it.

Aunt Cai and the other old sisters gossiped, but everyone was very optimistic about Ji Jianyun.

Accidents didn’t happen all the time. After fencing the reservoir, people might break into it. However, Ji Jianyun could find someone else to settle the incidents.

Moreover, he made barren mountains flourish. So, it was going to be easy to raise fish in the reservoir.

But anyway, Ji Jianyun had something to do after contracting the 30 acres of land. He began to back and forth from home to the reservoir.

Su Danhong felt a little stressed out when she saw how her man’s face was tanned and red, but she could not stand her man’s restlessness. He didn’t mind. He was very busy and happy, and he had so much energy.

Although it was getting dark, in her eyes, he was still a special man. She was really attracted to him. And it was clear that she did not like this type of man before!
