After hearing what his second brother said, Chen Jianjun stood there in a daze with a look of idiot. He should be thankful that his second brother knew to find a private place, otherwise it would be so embarrassing if his wife and children at home saw him.

Chen Jiandang was sober now. Seeing his brother's silly look, he had no patience to wait and dug a hole in his throat.

"Old man, what do you think?"

Chen Jianjun, who was rescued, looked his second brother in the eye for the first time. They were indeed brothers. The eldest brother was steady and smart, while he was bold and tried everything. The second brother had been honest since childhood and was bullied by the villagers. It was always the eldest brother who was the boss. After the eldest brother left the family, he would still need his younger brother.

He looked at his second brother curiously, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?

Chen Jiandang glared at him angrily and said, "Get lost!"

Then he continued, "I originally thought that when we had money in the village, I would ask the team leader to approve a new homestead, and then I could build a house like my eldest brother's."

Chen Jianjun nodded and said, "I'm thinking of asking the captain to approve the land after the autumn harvest next year!"

"Old man, please stop criticizing me. The older ones in our family are all studying. Do you think Goudan and Gouwa won't study?"

Chen Jianjun is not stupid, but smarter than his second brother. He has the old ideas and he doesn't have a job in the county town like his eldest brother. What did he eat and drink in the past?

Now that my second brother has come back from my eldest brother's wife's house, his attitude has changed. It seems that my second brother is attracted by my eldest brother and wife's house.

"Second brother, isn't the house of eldest brother and his family very nice?"

"Well, it's bigger than theirs and has more living space, but the yard is small and there's no private plot." Chen Jiandang told the truth.

When the old man heard this, he thought he would go and have a look himself this time.

"Brother, what do you think?"

"I..." Chen Jiandang hesitated for a moment.

Finally, it seemed like a major decision was made, "Honey, I want to buy a house in the county town. I can also give Daya and her family a place to live, where they can go to school and work. When Goudan grows up, he can have his own house."

Chen Jianjun thought about it and said, "This is fine. We can earn money here, and we still have land in the village. We won't starve to death!"

"Yeah, I originally thought it wasn't necessary, but my sister-in-law said it was okay, and that there was no need to transfer the household registration, so that the child wouldn't be away from home when the time comes!"

Chen Jiandang didn't say the exact words. In fact, Su Xia said, "Just came from the village, and now I'm going to the countryside as an educated youth. Isn't that redundant?"

When Chen Jianjun heard that his sister-in-law also agreed, the hesitation in his heart immediately disappeared.

"Okay, second brother, after we finish harvesting the grain, let big brother help us find it. No matter what, we have to buy it for the children's future!"

Chen Jiandang nodded. "I thought so too. My brother also said there's no need to rush and to look for it slowly. He also said that the house deed is in my name and no one can take it away from me!"

Chen Jianjun also understood what she meant. Although it was good for his daughters, he was really not happy about giving them the only house in the family. He was not a fool. Besides, he would have to rely on his son for support when he was old.

"Okay, take your family's things out of the car. Don't make this public. As for your wife at home...you can handle it yourself!" The second brother thought of his own terrible wife, but the eldest brother's family was still okay.

The corner of Chen Jianjun's mouth twitched. He also cared about his wife, a little better than his second brother, but it seemed that Daya and the others were more sensible children.

Could it be that the mother is unreasonable and the child is sensible and capable?

Chen Jianjun felt sorry that his wife's unreliable life was short-lived, but it was better for her to be like his second sister-in-law, who was the same as before all year round.

The two brothers each took their things and returned home, and Goudan and the others automatically ran over to surround their father.

Yelling excitedly, "Dad, are we having meat tonight?"

Chen Jiandang touched Goudan's head, then looked at Si Ya and nodded, "We'll have meat tonight. Let's go home and ask your mother to cook it."

"Great, time to eat meat..."

Liu Ya and Gou Wa did the same, staring at the meat in their father's body with shining eyes.

Chen Jianjun touched the two little ones and said, "Let's go. Let your mother make something delicious."

"Um...."

Liu Chunxia in the room smiled with satisfaction after hearing this. Her life now was something she had never dared to imagine before.

In fact, it's not just the old house, the villagers as well. In the past two years, under the leadership of the team leader, they have planted watermelons and cantaloupes, and raised chickens and pigs. The income from these additional incomes is really more than what they earn in a year.

Every household needs at least 50 yuan every year, which was unimaginable before.

Although 50 may sound like a small amount, if you think about today's purchasing power, one dollar is a family's daily expenses for a month. With this calculation, 50 is not a huge sum of money.

The most obvious thing is that there are no petty thieves in the village, except for one or two lazy people, but life is still better than in the neighboring villages.

Also, this year, many people joined the marriage, but few girls got married.

They are not stupid. They have enough food to eat and money in the village. Why would they go to another village to suffer?

"Captain, we sent a lot of watermelons to the purchasing station in the county before, as well as cantaloupes. Now there are still 20 watermelons and 50 cantaloupes left in the field." He calculated the latest account book.

He continued, "We now have 168 hens and 20 roosters. The eggs are delivered to the county town every two days, and we earn 35 yuan each time."

"I had a surplus of 500 yuan a month, and I spent the rest on things like bean dregs and rice bran, as well as some beans and sweet potatoes, which were not readily available in the village..."

Although the captain and secretary guessed it, they were still shocked when they heard it.

"Okay, after we get the food, we'll give it to the villagers."

In fact, it was Su Xia who suggested that we assign people according to their work. As for the extra people who help at the airport, they will be counted as work and assigned together when the time comes.

The secretary added, "Also, now that the villagers have money, they exchange it with the village for eggs and chickens. Shouldn't we remember this as well?"

In fact, he wanted to ask what price was appropriate, especially since there were educated youth there, and none of those kids were short of money.

The team leader thought for a moment and said to the accountant, "The villagers' price is one cent less than the purchasing station's price. The educated youth should follow the purchasing station's price. For meat, add two cents more. It's because they don't have tickets."

After hearing this, the secretary, accountant and several other people looked at each other and thought it was appropriate. They had worked hard and didn't want the educated youth to take advantage of them for nothing.

After these leaders discussed the details, no one else said anything.

“I hope it will be like this every year in the future…”

When the others heard this, they also started laughing.

After delivering the ox, Chen's father went home to help Chen's mother with work.

There are eight pigs in the old family and their family. If Chen's mother can do it all by herself, she doesn't have to cook.

The old couple worked together, Father Chen helped carry the bucket, and Mother Chen went in to pour the food.

Father Chen was very happy to see the four fat pigs eating happily.

"It's another fat year!"

Upon hearing this, Chen's mother also nodded. She has a much broader vision now, but even a small amount of money is still meat.

"Today the boss told us to move there?" Mother Chen really didn't want to go. If she was asked to leave all these things at home, she might as well kill her.

Father Chen nodded, and to be honest he was reluctant to do so.

"I'm not going, I'm not going. Besides, the eldest brother doesn't have the final say. Dabao and Erbao have told me to go back to the village during the holidays. Why should I care about him?"

Hearing this, Chen's mother felt relieved and said, "That's great. We'll wait for them at home."

Father Chen nodded and continued to work.
