Chapter 122 Xia Feifei is going to hold a banquet

At any time, the economic sphere determines the family's status.

Now Xia Keqing has the final say over the entire Xia family.

Mr. and Mrs. Xia could hardly get a word in.

"Then let's go to the village and buy a foundation first. It's best to be connected to the Shen family, so it will be convenient in the future."

Father and Mother Xia agreed with this point.

But Father Xia couldn't help but mention, "The land in our village doesn't cost money, just a little labor cost."

Xia Keqing looked surprised, she really didn't know this.

After all, she was an orphan before she traveled through the book and had never lived in the countryside. But she still preferred the floor-to-ceiling house to the suite that was like a small cage.

But the villa is too expensive and I can't afford it.

Therefore, before Xia Keqing traveled through the book, she consulted about self-built houses in the suburbs, because compared with villa commercial houses, self-built houses in the suburbs are more cost-effective.

For a house as big as the Xia family's, with a small courtyard, the residential land would cost at least one hundred thousand yuan.

If the house is in better condition, the price will be higher.

This is the price in a small city in the 28th tier.

This price has always been prohibitive for Xia Keqing.

So she didn't expect that the residential land in the village could be applied for free. Could it be a scam?

Xia Keqing didn't know that she had a blind spot, that is, before she traveled through the book, she was an orphan, and before buying a house, her household registration had always been in the orphanage.

The orphanage belongs to the city’s collective household registration, not to any village collective.

So if she wants to build a house in the countryside, she will have to spend a lot of money to purchase the right to use the village's residential land.

But after transmigrating into the book, she was the daughter of the Xia family in Shifeng Village, and her household registration was in Shifeng Village.

As a local villager, it is free to apply for a homestead as long as you meet the requirements.

After figuring it out, Xia Keqing was extremely happy.

This situation is like picking up money.

"Then let's apply for a few more pieces. Xinxin, Xia Zhijie, and I will each get one piece."

Father Xia and Mother Xia looked at each other and said, "This..."

Finally, Mother Xia spoke up, "Qingqing, it's not that your father and I favor your brother, it's just that your father and I only have your brother as our son. Our family may not meet the conditions for separation, so we can only apply for one residential plot at most. We live well in this house, and if we apply for another plot, we may have to give up this one."

"Or should we tear down the house and rebuild it?"

Xia Keqing didn’t understand these things. Although she felt a little regretful, she just let it go since it was impossible.

She thought for a moment and asked again:

"Dad, is the mud pond at the entrance of our village wild?"

There is a large forest behind the pond, and behind the forest are endless fields. However, the fields are basically divided up by villagers who draw lots to decide the contract rights.

Xia Keqing also took into consideration the fact that her parents were unwilling to move to the city.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t go to the city, you can just contract farmland, grow orchards, and fish ponds.

There are few people doing this now, but everyone can make some money.

Father Xia was stunned, "Yeah, why are you asking this?"

Xia Keqing curled her lips and smiled, "I have a classmate whose family is a fish pond contractor and can earn hundreds of thousands a year."

The whole family was once again so excited by Xia Keqing that their eyes turned red.

"Fish?"

"Sister, I'm good at raising fish!"

As soon as Xia Zhijie finished speaking, he was hit hard by his second sister Xia Kexin, "What can you do? You are still studying!"

Xia Zhijie curled his lips, "If I can make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year by raising fish, why would I study?"

After being glared at by his parents, the boy finally calmed down.

But I still feel a little unconvinced.

Why do we study? Isn’t it just to make money and live a good life in the future?

You can already earn hundreds of thousands of dollars, why do you still need to study?

Xia Keqing: ...

I have to say, this brat is quite right.

It’s just that every stage of life has its own mission, and you should do things that are appropriate for your age, otherwise you will regret it after you pass this stage.

In fact, what Xia Keqing said about a classmate who made hundreds of thousands of yuan by raising fish was nonsense.

This was the eighties.

Maybe, but she was talking about before she traveled through the book.

She really has a classmate whose family raises fish. Of course, they make more than 100,000 yuan a year, it has to be hundreds of thousands.

But isn’t it the 1980s now? She was afraid of scaring her family, so she changed it slightly. Unexpectedly, she still said too much and gave her family members a boost.

"Dad, how about we do it?"

If someone else suggested developing a fish pond, contracting land, or starting an orchard, he would definitely not dare to do it.

These also require investment costs. Who will we sell the fish we raise to?

By then, everything will be lost.

But now the one who said these words was his most promising eldest daughter, and Father Xia was also persuaded.

If the children are successful, parents should not hold them back, right?

The child is right. He and his mother are still young, so of course they have to go through some trouble.

At worst it will be the same as before.

The Shen family has turned their fortunes around and is planning to apply for homesteads for their three sons. The Xia family cannot apply for homesteads, but their daughter is willing to pay for renovating the house. How can they, as parents, just sit there and do nothing?

Although as a daughter, it is my duty to respect my parents.

But due to secular traditions, the house will definitely be left to the son in the future, and the eldest and youngest daughters will always suffer.

So Xia's father and mother decided to give it a try. If they were successful, they as parents could compensate their two daughters.

If they fail, at least they have tried their best, right?

This matter is settled.

After the sixth day of the New Year, the entire Shifeng Village changed from its leisurely and peaceful appearance and began to get busy.

This is also the tradition of Shifeng Village.

The sixth day of the New Year has passed, the Chinese New Year is over, and the new year is about to begin.

The New Year starts a new round of accumulation, so we have to get busy.

Many young people who work outside and go home for the New Year basically start to board the return bus on the sixth day of the New Year.

However, several major events happened in the village during this period.

The first thing is actually not surprising to everyone.

The third son of Shen is engaged to the eldest son of the Xia family. He must have come back this time for the wedding and the wedding banquet.

The Shen family took the opportunity to apply for homesteads for their three sons.

The Shen family has four sons. According to relevant regulations of later generations, they can apply for a maximum of three more residential plots.

But the reality is somewhat different.

After Shen Laoer became a teacher, his household registration was transferred out.

As a non-villager of this village, he cannot apply for residential land in this village.

However, Shen Laosan is an active-duty military officer and his household registration is in the military, so he cannot apply for a separate residential plot.

However, if we follow the regulations of later generations, the old couple of the Shen family must live in the same household with one son, which means that the only one who can actually apply for the homestead is the fourth son of the Shen family.

However, in that era, the relevant regulations were not so detailed, and in the end the Shen family applied for a residential plot for each of the eldest and fourth sons of the Shen family.

For the situation of Shen Laoer and Shen Laosan, there are relevant regulations that prevent them from applying for residential land in this village, so they can only give up.

(According to relevant regulations in my country, the "one house per household" policy was not established until the late 1990s, so the one in the article is a private property, and one piece was also applied for by Boss Shen and the Xia family.)

The second thing, of course, is that the Xia family also applied for a residential plot for their son. (Since 1998, my country has established the "one household, one house" policy. As the only son, I am not allowed to have a separate household from my parents. The one in the article is a private one.)

The third thing is even more exciting.

Xia Feifei, the daughter of Mr. Xia, has found a rich partner and is planning to hold a wedding banquet in the village!

who? Boss Xia, Xia Pingshan?

The villagers of Shifeng Village were all stunned!
