Chapter 378 Drunkenness

"Sister, this demolition is so exciting!" An Songxiang said, her whole body trembling as she leaned against the beer bottle.

An Songyu was somewhat helpless, but judging from the scene, An Songxiang's appearance was actually the best she could be.

Look under the table next to you; he slipped down there drunk, and the people around couldn't drag him out.

On the other side, the howling and wailing made it difficult for An Songyu to hear An Songxiang's words clearly.

She quickly moved closer to An Songxiang before saying:

"It's certainly exciting, but... could you please put the bottle down?"

"You drank all the wine inside, what are you still holding onto it for?"

"Drank it all? Where? It's still full!" An Songxiang glared at An Songyu, trying her best to refute him.

An Songyu quickly steadied her unsteady body and stopped arguing with her.

“Since it’s full, let’s toast again!” Xuan Ying, who was standing next to An Songxiang, suddenly chimed in after hearing what she said.

An Songyu turned around helplessly and saw An Songlin trying to take the wine glass from Xuan Ying's hand.

Those wine glasses, overflowing and spilling everywhere as the filming progressed, were truly full!

But An Songyu didn't have time to look at much more, because An Songxiang had another problem.

She quickly pulled An Songxiang back, who was about to stand up and blow air into someone's mouth with an empty bottle in hand, afraid that she would fall to the ground before she even got out of there.

Looking around the food stall, the main hall, which had been specially set aside for the entire village to eat, was now almost empty, with hardly anyone still sitting properly.

At An Songyu's table, only An Songyu, who had almost never touched alcohol, was present.

An Songlin went with others to toast the elders, but he had a good alcohol tolerance and was still able to keep his spirits up to take care of his wife.

Not far away, An Jianping was still working with the village committee, worrying about everyone.

As for Bi Lizhu, who seemed to be sitting exceptionally upright, she must have been drunk long ago.

But her mother, when drunk, not only didn't cause a scene, she was remarkably composed.

Indeed, their family received the most toasts today.

Unfortunately, An Songyu's family, who had just built their house before the demolition and did not have a large courtyard like those in the countryside, could be said to be one of the people in the whole village who received the most houses.

Don't be fooled by the fact that An Songyu seems like one person; he can be divided into ten layers.

But for other families in the village, as long as the number of people in the family is not too large, even if they have rebuilt their houses, the most they can build is four or five stories.

Firstly, although their homestead area is not small, the yard takes up almost half of it.

Moreover, it's rare for a building that wasn't rebuilt in the last two years to have the determination to build a full five stories.

After all, no matter how good their agritainment business is in Jiangcun, they only have real guests during holidays.

If you were to build a five-story building to accommodate guests, it would be difficult for any household to fill it up.

In addition, the people in Jiangcun have good relationships, and each family has converted their homes into guest rooms for guests to stay in.

So they prefer to go through the trouble of occasionally scattering guests to different homes when they are lucky enough to have a lot of customers.

Who would have thought I'd encounter such a wonderful opportunity as demolition compensation?

Despite the fact that many people in the village secretly complained about An Songyu's house after it was built.

They're just making reckless investments!

After it was built, how many of the days were it actually fully occupied?

But now that we see they've been allocated resettlement housing.

When their large family alone occupied three or four buildings, their feelings were truly complicated.

This time, they really couldn't gossip.

If renting the village's orchards and fishponds before the demolition was considered a stroke of luck, then they were essentially taking advantage of the village.

If you've already invested money to build a house, and now you're getting double the return, it's just that the timing is perfect.

Therefore, Bi Lizhu, who rarely drinks alcohol and also takes care of the children at home.

He did not refuse the toasts offered by the Jiangcun group.

As it was getting late, the village committee members finally came in from outside.

An Jianping quickly joined them at their table. Looking at his children and wife, he said helplessly, "Xiaoyu, you didn't drink, right?"

An Songyu shook her head slightly: "I've tried it a little, but I still can't drive well by myself... but I called Ayu over."

"Dad, go and arrange for the others. I'll have Ayu go back first with my brother and sister-in-law, Mom, and Grandpa and Grandma."

"Then come pick us up again!"

Before An Songyu could finish speaking, Jian Ziyu and Wang Henian came over together at the gate.

The village committee members, who were racking their brains about how to make arrangements, lit up when they saw the two of them arrive.

Jiang Wenlin even beckoned An Jianping over directly.

When Jian Ziyu and the other person entered, they were both stunned by the scene in the lobby.

They knew that Jiangcun was allocating houses today, and seeing everyone's condition, they couldn't help but shake their heads: "How many houses did they get to be this drunk?"

An Songyu greeted the two first before saying, "The smallest one... is probably around 8 or 9 units of 60 square meters."

"And it has to be a house like my grandparents', built a long time ago."

"A long time ago... how long do you mean?" Wang Henian swallowed hard, his eyes wide with disbelief.

He had talked to people about getting rich quick from land expropriation before.

According to what he heard, it seemed that at most the government would compensate him, at a ratio of one to two.

Can a 60-square-meter house compensate eight or nine households? That would require at least a two-and-a-half-story house of at least 100 square meters.

Chien Tzu-yu reluctantly offered a brief explanation to her friend:

“Jiangcun has a special situation; they started planting cash crops a long time ago.”

“The entire village started building small houses around the late 1980s and early 1990s.”

"Initially, it might have been a single-story brick house, but later it became a farmhouse inn, and each family needed a considerable space to accommodate overnight guests."

"So they either rebuilt the house or added more layers on top of it."

"Anyway, by the time of the demolition, every household in the village had at least two and a half stories!"

"In the whole village, many people live on the third or fourth floor."

"However, houses like Ayu's, which are built to be five stories high, are also relatively rare."

"So...everyone in their village has been allocated a lot of houses now?" Wang Henian felt increasingly uneasy as he listened.

“If you calculate it that way, it’s actually correct!” Jian Ziyu nodded slightly.

Half-drunk, An Songxiang seemed quite dissatisfied with Jian Ziyu's polite manner, and she directly quoted the boastful words of the drunkards in the village:

"Of course every family in our village is rich now!"

"Don't underestimate our Jiangcun Village. The combined losses of Xinlin Village and Jiulin Village might not even equal the losses we've suffered."

"Please stop talking!" An Songyu quickly pulled her younger sister away.

Honestly, let's not talk about Xinlin Village anymore.

The families in Lin Village who were relocated did not receive as much compensation as those in Jiang Village.

But the houses they received as compensation for might not be less than those received by the people of Jiangcun.

It could even be said that the vast majority of them would outnumber the people in Jiangcun.

After all, they built their house earlier than An Songyu's family, and they had more rooms.
