Chapter 581 Celebrating Demolition

In fact, if a canal is opened, it will be very convenient to transport this kind of aquatic products.

But now that the land is still being demolished and excavated, it can only be transported by land by truck drivers. Considering the issue of freshness, the price of crabs naturally rises.

On the weekend, Yin Gan specially brought a full basket of crabs to Xiang's house, which received unanimous praise.

Zhang Jidi didn't know how to make this thing delicious, but fortunately Yin Gan had done his homework and told her that it only needed to be steamed and served with some vinegar and shredded ginger.

The whole family gathered together and had a lively wedding banquet.

Since Xiang Lidang's house was demolished, they should have hosted the banquet, but the Hao family was right next door to theirs and it was not safe, so it would be safer for Zhang Jidi to take charge.

My son's life is getting better and better, and as a mother I am happy for him.

After eating and drinking their fill and about to leave, Zhang Jidi asked about their future plans: "It's going to be demolished on the first of next month. Where are you and Anyou's things going to be moved?"

People are staying at An You's mother's house, but the furniture in Xiang Lidang's house has to be moved out. If it remains in the original place, it will be leveled.

Those pieces of furniture of An You were her dowry made of fine wood during her wedding. How could they be left there as waste?

It wouldn't be appropriate to move to Anyou's parents' home. It would make it seem like the couple were getting divorced, so they would definitely have to find another place to put the furniture.

Xiang Lidang hesitated for a moment: "Mom, An You's family said that she will stay there until she gives birth. Can we make room for her?"

He rarely tells his mother about his needs, but ever since the last crab incident, Xiang Lidang feels that there is no need to be so distant between family members.

Sometimes making small requests is the best way to keep in touch with family members.

Zhang Jidi thought about what his son said and said with an embarrassed look: "All 15 households in Building 12 are full, and I haven't heard anyone say they won't renew their lease. Why don't you move in?"

Recently, the old employees of the methane plant have been working overtime like crazy, and recruitment has been booming. The nearby rental market is in short supply and there are no houses available at all.

Some families have even raised their rents. Zhang Jidi plans to have a good talk with his tenants next year and ask them to raise their rents a little bit as well.

She didn't want to waste time talking, but the problem was that the prices of all the houses nearby had increased, and hers hadn't, so it would easily lead to gossip.

Moreover, because the Xiang family was too lazy to buy new things, there was no furniture in the house except doors and windows. The rent they offered was cheaper than others, so they were considered quite kind landlords.

Xiang Lidang looked at Xiang Mianmian's locked room with some hesitation, and whispered, "Mom, this is not good. When Mianmian comes back, she will have no place to live."

The lock is a small problem, Zhang Jidi has the key.

The main reason was that he was afraid of hindering his sister's future. Even if his family didn't say it explicitly, he could sense that Xiang Mianmian's identity was not ordinary.

In this day and age, which teacher would travel around for work?

They all work diligently at the podium until their voices become hoarse, and they worry about their students. When the candle burns out and their tears continue to dry, they illuminate the students' future.

The Xiang family announced to the public that Xiang Mianmian had good repair skills and was going to big cities to exchange and give lectures.

There is also a precedent of the county town seconding outstanding teachers from the provincial capital, W City, so that the school can cultivate more talents. As for whether others believe it or not, that is another matter.

Zhang Jidi felt it was a bit tricky, but Xiang Lili was not married yet.

If the demolition had been delayed by three months, An You's child would have been born and she would have received one more subsidy. When Xiang Lili got married at the end of the year, one room in the house would have been empty.

This way everything fits together perfectly.

Unfortunately, there are not so many perfect things in the world, and the demolition is scheduled for November 1st.

Seeing his brother in trouble, Xiang Liguo, who had been silent for a meal, said, "Move to my place. Let Youfeng and Youzhi sleep together. I'll make room for you to put your things."

As the eldest brother, it is hard to describe how I feel when I see my younger brothers and sisters becoming wealthy while I am stuck in the same place.

But he is never vague about helping when he should, as the eldest in the family, he still has this responsibility.

Xiang Meimei didn't think much about it: "Let's put it at my house. Chen Zhong lives with his grandfather most of the time. We only have Chen Hua with us, so the house at home is empty."

After discussing it for a while, the family finally decided to leave the child at Xiang Meimei's house.

Firstly, she has the smallest family, so it is convenient for her to put things there. Secondly, Xiang Meimei also has her own little ideas and tries her best to put things there.

Don't get me wrong, she's not after An You's dowry. Who would be so foolish as to touch such a big item?

The main reason was that Chen Wei's eldest sister Chen Dani gave her a difficult problem. She wanted to send her second son Shi Zhengyan to Chen Wei's home, hoping that he could be admitted to the methane plant.

Now that I have my sister-in-law's dowry at home, I have a legitimate excuse to refuse her.

After the matter was settled, everyone agreed to gather on the last weekend of the month to help Xiang Lidang move furniture, and the family dinner ended perfectly.
