Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 138 Fund

After finishing the business, Wen Qing asked Captain Liu: "Uncle Village Chief, I want to set up a relief fund for our village to help the elderly and children in difficult circumstances. What do you think?"

Captain Liu groaned, "Of course it's a good thing, but how to spend this money is still very particular."

After the two discussed it, Wen Qing set aside 5% of the winery's profits every year and put them into the relief fund. The village brigade would decide the list of people to be rescued, and Wen Qing had the right to review the list and then distribute the relief funds.

This year, Wen Qing gave 2 yuan to the village.

Captain Liu was very happy, and went back to plan with the brigade secretary to build a greenhouse. The two of them went to the commune together and told them about Wen Qing's contracting of forests and buying land. They also reported on Wen Qing's investment in setting up a relief fund. Secretary Ma of the commune also approved of Wen Qing's approach and readily approved it.

After discussion, the brigade decided to provide assistance to four five-guarantee households and five families with many children and difficult lives in the village. After Wen Qing's review, each household was given a subsidy of 500 to 1000 yuan.

The brigade bought food, meat, clothes and medicine for the five-guarantee households and delivered them to them. The poor families were required to send their children of school age to school, and the brigade also bought some daily necessities and school supplies and delivered them to their homes.

After the news was announced, the families who received assistance were certainly happy, but several families in the village felt unbalanced. They went to the brigade headquarters and demanded that they also receive assistance. They even went to the winery and made a scene. It was only after criticism from the brigade headquarters that they gradually calmed down.

After Wen Qing decided to contract the 100 acres of forest, he followed Captain Liu to see the place. There was a corner of this forest that was connected to the forest that Wen Qing had already contracted. To reach it, one had to go over a low mountain ridge from the village, or pass through the forest contracted by Wen Qing. It took about three kilometers to walk there.

One of the reasons why no one contracted the land is that it is too far from the village.

Wen Qing looked at the woods on the mountain. There were only some low trees and shrubs, which were of no use. She planned to plant economic trees or greening trees.

The economic trees planted include fir, pine, camphor, birch, etc. The garden trees planted include plum, osmanthus, crabapple, maple, ginkgo, magnolia, etc. Few people come to this forest, so Wen Qing plans to plant Chinese medicinal materials in the future, and can also plant some high-quality peach and cherry trees in the front mountain.

There are fir trees, pine trees, camphor trees, and crabapple trees in the space. She immediately started to take cuttings and prepared to buy other places for the varieties that were not available.

Wen Qing wrote to Zheng Xiaoqiang and asked him which place had the best varieties of peaches and cherries. He probably knew since he graduated from an agricultural college.

I took time to go to the botanical garden several times and bought some saplings from the garden, waiting to transplant them when spring comes.

Before the Spring Festival, Zhuang Xian returned to Pingjing from Jizhong, and the Schindler Bicycle Factory also had a holiday.

I heard that she had contracted another 100 mu of forest, and I was so envious. Wen Qing asked, "Do you have any contracting in your hometown?"

"It's already been done. My parents and brothers have contracted 10 mu of land and a pond."

Zhuang Xien is the eldest in the family, and he has a younger brother, an older sister, and a younger sister.

He said hesitantly, "Xiaoqing, do you want to go to my hometown during the Spring Festival this year? My parents want to meet you." His face blushed slightly after saying that.

Wen Qing had already told him about her family situation, so there was no arrangement for her to meet her parents.

Zhuang Xian's home is in Xijiang Province, near Poyang Lake. Wen Qing met him on a train passing through Xijiang. I think he climbed onto the train from a station in Xijiang. Of course, Zhuang Xian didn't know that.

Wen Qing asked, "Did you tell your parents about us?"

"Yes, my parents have been urging me to get married. Now that I've told them, they don't have to urge me anymore."

He kept urging Wen Qing to go back to his hometown with him.

Wen Qing hesitated for a long time, "Will your parents have any objections?"

Zhuang Xien hurriedly explained: "My parents just want to see you and will not interfere in our affairs."

Wen Qing then agreed, and the two agreed to set out on the 28th day of the lunar year, arrive home on the 29th, and come back on the 3rd day of the lunar year. She also asked Zhuang Xien not to tell anyone about her winery and just say that she was at work.

Zhuang Xien went to buy train tickets, and Wen Qing was busy with the winery's affairs.

We used the time to steam the wine in the few cellars that had finished fermenting, sent holiday gifts to distributors, and cleaned the winery. The winery officially closed on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month and would not resume work until the 6th day of the first lunar month.

Wen Qing waited for the workers to leave and then checked the winery again.

She took the things to find Master Hu again. The renovation of No. 48 Majia Lane and Dawangzhuang had been completed. Wen Qing went to settle the project payment and gave him a holiday gift. It was agreed that the second courtyard by the Yulin Lake would be built in the spring.

Master Hu and Hu Dingze now have confidence in their renovation work and are planning to ask the construction company for unpaid leave after the new year.

If he took on a project, he could easily earn thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan, so he looked down on the dozens of yuan paid by the company every month. What's more, Master Hu was just a small boss and had a bad relationship with the managers above him, so he was often bullied.

Xiao Hu advised his father to take a step back and see the bigger picture. Master Hu hesitated for a long time and finally agreed.

Those who are now involved in the real estate industry are all smart people. Wen Qing told them some things she knew about contractors. They should first undertake small projects, and then gradually expand and become stronger, develop in the direction of developers, and reap all the dividends of the real estate in the next 30 years.

Wen Qing went to No. 48 Majia Lane, opened the red-painted gate, and was greeted by a tall ginkgo tree. The open space in the yard was paved with neat and clean bluestone slabs.

The house is a two-story main building with east and west wings. When you open the main door, you will see a reception desk on the front of the first floor, two offices on the left, and stairs leading to the second floor on the right. When you go upstairs, there are corridors and windows on one side and four offices and a tea room in parallel on the other side.

The building has a construction area of ​​about 600 square meters and the yard is more than square meters.

The main building has two corridors leading to the east and west wings, each with two rooms and a bathroom. There is a door on the first floor leading to the boiler room at the back, and a path leading to the alley at the back, which will also be the route for transporting miscellaneous items in the future.

Opening the backyard door, you will see a row of storefronts facing outwards, approximately 100 square meters.

The whole house is made of blue bricks, black tiles and white walls. The floor of the house is all light-colored terrazzo. There are also clouds inlaid on the floor of the lobby on the first floor with terrazzo, which looks both traditional and modern.

Wen Qing is very satisfied with the renovation of the yard. The total cost of renovating the house reached 3 yuan, which is more than the money spent on buying the yard. Now she feels that the money was well spent.

Zhuang Xien bought a train ticket, and Wen Qing went to buy gifts for his family. She put all the gifts and her own clothes and belongings into the suitcase, and carried a backpack with things she would need on the road, which also served as a cover for taking things from the space.

They got on the train at seven in the evening. There were a lot of people on the train, many of whom were returning home with their families and carrying large and small bags to celebrate the New Year.

Zhuang Xien asked Wen Qing to sleep on the lower bunk and he slept on the middle bunk. Wen Qing did not refuse. After a quick wash, everyone went to bed to rest. Wen Qing spread the cotton cloth she brought with her as usual, and there was no conversation all night.

When I got up in the morning, I found that the train was running on a vast plain. It was bleak outside the window, and I could see snow on the ground and on the roofs.

In the morning they had sesame seed cakes, and at noon Zhuang Xien bought a box lunch from the dining car. It was just two kinds of rice with stir-fried cabbage and meat. The taste was average, but people around them showed envy.

After eating and taking a short rest, Zhuang Xien heard the station announcement and reminded Wen Qing: "We're here, let's pack up and get off."

After leaving the station, Zhuang Xian took Wen Qing to the long-distance bus station and bought a bus ticket to his hometown Huangjiawan. It took another hour and a half by car to reach Huangjiawan. After washing the car, she followed Zhuang Xian and walked 5 miles on a small road before finally arriving home.
