On New Year's Day, the family was having dinner when Ruan Ruan suddenly said, "Mom and Dad, why don't you just stay here and not go back?"

"Yes, Mom and Dad, it's just the two of you at home now, and we're worried about you. Why don't you stay and not go back?"

“No, that won’t do. As the captain, there are still many things that need my help. I’ll wait a few more years until I reach retirement age before coming back.”

“Your father is right. We are doing well now and can still work. If we came here, I wouldn’t know what I could do. We are at ease with your grandparents and your third uncle and aunt. You are either studying or teaching. The more successful you are, the more respect we will have at home.”

"Dad, I heard that some communes in the south have started distributing land to individual households. If it succeeds, I believe it will soon be popularized throughout the country, and then we won't need brigade leaders anymore."

"If that's the case, then it won't be too late for us to come over after the land is divided."

Okay, we'll figure out a way later.

After the Lunar New Year, a large number of people flocked to the city, especially after schools reopened. Just outside the schools, you could see many shops opening, and several food stalls opened on the food street alone, not to mention others.

Seeing such a prosperous scene, the national leaders accelerated economic development even more.

Especially after the handover of Mingpin, those who bought the houses were extremely happy with their homes when they received the keys. Those who saw the houses but did not buy them regretted it immensely.

As time went on, more and more people moved to the city, and the demand for housing and jobs increased. After the completion of Mingpin, Chen Liang and his team rushed to develop another piece of land. This piece of land was larger than Mingpin. Mingpin only built 12 buildings because part of the land was used to plan a supermarket and related supporting facilities. However, this piece of land was right across from Mingpin, and the facilities were shared. Therefore, this time it could be built in two phases, with 12 buildings in the first phase.

As for Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haoshen, after Ruan Ruan's reminder, they took leave and went to Guangdong Province after the spring. The teachers knew that the two of them were only in school to get their graduation certificates, so as long as they took the exam at the end of the semester, it would be fine. The teachers also wanted to see just how sharp their economic acumen was.
