When he heard about playing basketball, Yang Laoda's eyes lit up again and again. They were in the countryside and had never played basketball before.

After all, my parents said basketball is expensive, so if I really want to play, I can only go kick in the mud.

When Nian Gao invited him, he wanted to go with him, but his grandparents told him not to trouble others.

He said listlessly again: "Okay, let's play basketball together when we have time."

He waved his hand, and the two of them left with Lu Xiao. Aunt Yang didn't know what she said to Miao Xiuying, but Miao Xiuying was smiling from ear to ear and personally sent them to the ox cart.

After they left, Yang Zhigang informed his brother Yang Zhiqiang and asked several influential elders and people in charge in the village to come.

More than a thousand yuan needs to be planned, and how to allocate it specifically, or use it for road construction or something.

After all, it is the village's land, and the money should be spent on the villagers.

Yang Zhigang was a smooth person, but he never took a penny from the villagers. Instead, he gave a lot of money away himself.

Aunt Yang often criticized him, saying that he was not a high-ranking official but was very arrogant and always liked to take on too much.

My own life was neither good nor bad, yet I had the time to meddle in other people's family affairs.

Yang Zhigang just smiled. Everyone wants a comfortable life, so who would want to compete for a position in the advanced brigade? The goal is to keep the brigade well-organized and ensure that even the common people have enough to eat.

The Yang family has always been committed to doing their job and being in their proper position. Before the brigade was established, this place was called Yangjia Village.

His ancestors have been here for generations, and it can be said that everyone in the entire team is related to him.

When there are good things, who doesn’t want to make their own?

All the way back home, Aunt Song's smile never stopped. She asked, "You really gave her thirty job quotas? This girl is so generous. I'm looking forward to her factory being built. She must be hiring people. People from our team can also try. Apart from anything else, if you have some strength and can earn a living, that's not bad either. It's better than earning work points in the fields. Otherwise, everyone would want to go to the city."

Aunt Yang took a sip of water and smiled, "I think so too. Everyone in our village is trustworthy. I won't look for someone who is cunning and treacherous. Once we decide when to break ground, we'll discuss with her whether we can give priority to people from our team."

That girl is easy to talk to, so we shouldn't push her too far. We might not be as reliable as us if we find someone else. Of course, we can't do professional work, so we can only do the hard labor."

Aunt Song smiled and said, "We are on the same page. I am quite good at moving bricks and cement. We helped build the house at my mother's side of the family.

I don’t know how big the factory she wants to build is. It should be more than 20 acres and can accommodate hundreds of people. Even state-owned factories are not that big. She is too bold in investing.

The one who came with her was probably her mother-in-law. I didn't hear what she said the whole time and gave the final say to her. She is also an open-minded mother-in-law. The whole family is pretty good. I still like Xiao Li the most.

Hey, why isn't he my son? Look at him, he's sweet and well-behaved, and he's promising, but mine is just a placenta. Comparing yourself to others is so frustrating."

Aunt Yang patted her, shook her head and laughed: "No matter how bad he is, he is still your son. Can he be exchanged with others? Xiao Li is very good, and my nephew is not bad either. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to cook.

You don't have to go back. Your husband will be here soon. Let's talk while we eat. We need to discuss what to do with the money from selling the land. If we don't have a plan, we won't know where to spend it.

What's more, with so many eyes watching in the village, it's hard for me to be a man."

Aunt Song stood up and started cutting vegetables with her. "Who doesn't want to share some of the money? They're all here for this. Those people are even more calculating than you are.

You want to use the money to build roads, but that's not going to work. You want to keep it all in your own pocket. You, my man, have a lot to do now."

Aunt Yang glared at her and said, "You're talking as if your husband isn't busy. Just wait and see. There will be a lot of fuss over the distribution of this money. When there's no money, every household is the same.

He is polite to you on the surface, but now that he is rich, he has more thoughts. After all, he has contributed to the development of the land, so who doesn't want to get a bigger share?

Fighting for a dime or two is commonplace. I just hope it's not too ugly, so as not to make the other brigades laugh at us."

And she was right. The villagers in the brigade knew that the land had been sold, but they didn't know the exact amount.

Some were also worried that the Yang family might embezzle the money. The land was collectively owned, and if the Yang family didn't give them the money, they would be the first to disagree.

They are also the main force in land reclamation.

What on earth was Jiang Yan going to do with such a large piece of land? For a while, everyone was talking, and no one knew the details.

Jiang Yan visited several brigades and found a suitable piece of land. He spent about three to four thousand yuan to buy three pieces.

Lu Li also bought two pieces and kept them, thinking that they would be useful in the future. The location was not too remote, so what if the area developed?

Since Jiang Yan said it was okay, he bought it and believed everything Jiang Yan said completely.

After running for a whole day, several people had sore backs and were hungry. They had already finished the meat patties they brought in the morning.

Those kids looked like wilted cabbages from the sun.

Jiang Yan could only laugh, "Not fun anymore?"

When they came, they were full of energy, as if they had not been back to the countryside for several lifetimes. But before even a day had passed, they had already lost all their energy and spirit.

It seems that children's energy is not endless.

Jiang Yan held Mi Li in her arms. Mi Li yawned and said, "Mom, I'm so sleepy. When will we be home? I want to sleep."

The child has the habit of taking a nap every day, but he didn’t take a nap today, so his upper and lower eyelids are fighting with each other.

The rice balls and rice cakes were leaning against Miao Xiuying.

Lu Xiao was afraid that they would fall off the ox cart, so he held them in his arms. Fan Tuan said slowly, "Dad, I'll just take a nap. Call me when we get home."

Nian Gao also murmured, "Dad, I'm sleepy."

Lu Xiao rubbed their heads with his chin, his voice full of gentleness and love, "Go to sleep, Daddy will hold you."

With Lu Xiao around, they felt very safe and fell asleep straight away.

Lu Jianguo in the city had only a little bit of braised food left. He was about to close his stall when a middle-aged woman dressed in a seductive and charming manner came over.

She slung a basket over her shoulder and saw two pig ears left in the pot. She purred her lips and said in a coquettish voice, "Brother Lu, there's only a little left. Can you give me a discount? You know I'm short on money, and my kids are still growing up. I can't bear to go without meat for a meal. Can you please be kind and give it to me at half price?"

It was cheap at first, and then it was half price. Why didn't you just ask for it? You're so shameless.
