Chapter Sixty: The Proposal to Buy a Car

I watched as my parents talked and made a decision.

An Songyu also seemed to realize something.

Therefore, during the National Day holiday, she believed that the demolition of Jiangcun had been completed and that she had received a huge sum of money.

The people in the family quarters also deserve some credit.

As for why the parents didn't explain in detail.

I can only imagine how she felt at that time.

Even after more than twenty years, before she returned, she still felt complicated when she thought about the demolition of Jiangcun.

An Songyu understood everything.

Knowing that this wasn't a problem with her memory, An Songyu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although she understood.

From the moment she returned.

Whether it's herself or her family.

Even many people, both related and unrelated to her, will have their fates changed.

Her memories of the past twenty years can only serve as a reference at most.

Even because I never imagined I would experience all of this.

Countless things have been lost in time, intentionally or unintentionally ignored, forgotten, or overlooked by her.

But An Songyu still doesn't want to forget.

I also don't want her memory to actually be damaged.

The car was going very fast.

After picking up all his children, An Jianping sighed with emotion as he drove towards Jiangcun.

On the way, he suddenly said, "Do you think our family should buy a car once the demolition compensation comes in?"

"Will buying a car solve the problem?" Bi Lizhu looked out the window, her tone ambiguous, perhaps mocking or...agreeing?

The four people in the back row who had just been ecstatic immediately tensed up.

An Jianping carefully observed his wife's expression through the rearview mirror.

After discovering that he wasn't as angry as I had imagined...

He tentatively asked again, "So, how many do you think would be enough?"

"How many?" Bi Lizhu involuntarily raised her voice slightly, then gave her husband a cold look before speaking:

"What, do you want to hire a few professional drivers for your silkworm rearing?"

"It's only used when we collect silkworm cocoons... If it really doesn't work, we can just buy one of those cars from Lao Si's family and make more trips."

An Jianping was so disappointed that he almost sighed out loud.

An Songyu and the others watching from behind couldn't help but laugh.

What's particularly interesting about their parents is that, when there's nothing major happening at home...

Bi Lizhu was always the reasonable one.

But whenever there's a major event at home, or a large expense, it's unacceptable.

Their mother's status in the family was thus revealed.

Fortunately, Bi Lizhu has been a city dweller since childhood, and she never easily denies reasonable spending.

Before An Jianping could even speak...

After careful consideration, she said, "As for buying such a small car... it depends on the situation!"

"We still have Jiangcun to visit."

"Once the demolition in Jiangcun begins, will we still have so many places to run around to?"

Before An Songyu and the others could answer Bi Lizhu's question, An Jianping immediately said, "This area is mulberry fields!"

"The silkworm rearing here will be repaired soon!"

“Linhe Village is different from our village; they are focused on finding someone to contract out their mulberry fields.”

"Although it hasn't been taken particularly seriously over the years, it's still much better than the place in our village that's been left unattended."

"So, as long as we get the silkworm house ready, our family's silkworm farming business can continue directly."

“In fact, the area of ​​this mulberry field is much larger than the area we contracted back then.”

“Of course, it also includes a mountain!” Bi Lizhu replied calmly.

An Jianping was speechless for a moment.

But thinking that his family could buy a car, An Songlin quickly chimed in:

"Dad, Mom, we haven't gone to see what's going on in Linhe Village yet!"

"I heard the reservoir is quite large? It should be able to raise a lot of fish!"

“Yes, it can raise a lot of fish! Wouldn’t that drive out the boss who had been contracting it for ten years?” Bi Lizhu continued to explain the situation truthfully.

This left An Songyu and An Jianping, who both understood the situation, at a loss for words.

To be honest, Bi Lizhu wasn't deliberately trying to dampen the mood.

She's just more used to acting cautiously.

Before we even received the compensation for the demolition of our house, we had already contracted out new mulberry fields and reservoirs.

Although the silkworms they originally raised are now close to spinning their cocoons.

They were originally supposed to make a little profit this season, but with this situation, it's definitely going to be difficult.

But it's still better than when I first returned to Jiangcun, where I only invested and had no income.

However, after raising silkworms at home for more than half a year...

Bi Lizhu is no longer the novice who knows nothing about farming.

They understand even more clearly that for things like farming and breeding, income cannot be considered until money is actually in their pockets.

That's why she would explain her difficulties to her daughter-in-law upfront.

However, under such an atmosphere.

The family's plan to buy a car had to be put on hold for the time being.

When An Songyu and his group arrived at Jiang Village.

Aside from An Songyu, who has been staying in the village recently, they clearly noticed the difference in the atmosphere of the village.

First of all, there are now some unfamiliar faces that you would normally see as soon as you enter the village.

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that they are not tourists from the city visiting the farmhouse.

Apart from that, the shops along Jiangcun Street were exceptionally lively.

Some were in groups of three or five, while others were scattered.

Some were discussing it, while others were observing.

Sure enough, An Songyu's family was spotted shortly after entering the village, even though they were sitting in the car.

These people don't care about safety.

He greeted them as he walked straight over.

An Jianping stopped the car with a sense of helplessness.

He turned to look at his wife and children, thought for a moment, and said:

"Xiaoyu, why don't you take everyone to your uncle's or eldest uncle's house first?"

"What about Dad?" An Songyu looked out the window at the familiar faces.

I felt that it was definitely not something I could get out of in a short time.

"I guess it'll be a while... Don't worry, they're probably more interested in the car than I am right now," An Jianping said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

An Songyu was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized what was going on.

yes!

In this day and age, let alone a small place like Jiangcun.

Even in Rongdi, there weren't many private cars on the streets.

Even every time she returned from Nanshi.

People often complain about the traffic jams and lack of parking near the silk factory's residential compound.

The roads all appeared exceptionally wide.

It's been the same two-lane road for over twenty years, unchanged.

It would give her such a different feeling.

It's precisely because nowadays, the number of both private cars and public transportation is still extremely limited.

Compared to An Songyu, who seemed lost in thought.

The other members of the An family demonstrated their agreement with An Jianping's words through their swift actions.
