"Okay, let's not talk about these bad things and cook." Niu Xianhua sighed, stood up and continued to busy herself with cooking.

Jiang Shanshan originally wanted to help, but before she could even start, she was stopped and pushed out by her two sisters-in-law and an elder sister-in-law in the kitchen.

The reason was that she was a college student and not suitable for doing such rough work, so it would be better to let these rough people do it.

Jiang Shanshan finally had no choice but to go to the main room to listen to Yu Guifang and the others talking.

At this time, Xu Shike was talking to Niu Jianjun and others about buying a house.

The topic of discussion happened to be the house that belonged to Old Man Zhong.

"You'll need to discuss the details with the two elders. If you want to buy it, I can take you there to meet them."

"Third brother, ask Uncle Zhong to keep this house for us. I will discuss it with your second sister-in-law, and once we reach an agreement, we will buy it." Niu Jianjun said happily.

There is no longer the cautious look as before.

Mainly because he has been working in the city for the past two years and has seen that the prices of houses there are rising year by year.

Last year, he told his wife that he regretted not listening to his third brother's wife and buying a house in the city.

Unexpectedly, during this year's Chinese New Year, the third brother actually brought them this good news.

Xu Shike nodded and said, "Okay, but it's best to make a decision quickly. The two old people are also thinking of selling the house and settling down in Beijing."

"Don't worry, I will discuss it with your second sister-in-law tonight and give you an answer tomorrow." Niu Jianjun said with a smile.

Xu Shike nodded and looked at the silent Niu Jiandang. Worried that this big brother might overthink things, he said to him, "Big brother, this is the only one for sale this time. If there are other houses for sale next time, I will tell you."

Niu Jiandang grinned and said like a simple and honest elder brother, "Don't worry, third brother, I'm not unhappy. Your sister-in-law and I just want to keep this family. As for buying a house in the city, we haven't decided yet. After all, we are the eldest children and will have to take care of our parents in the future. Someone has to look after this family, right?"

Xu Shike looked at his honest and simple elder brother, smiled and patted him on the shoulder gently, "How about this, in a year or two, we brothers will pool our money to demolish this house and build a big villa. That way, when our family gets together, we can live better."

"A big villa, what does it look like?" Niu Jiandang asked curiously with his shining eyes wide open.

Xu Shike smiled and explained to him, "It's a house like a Western-style building, a big one. It can be built with two or three floors. When the time comes, we'll pave the entire front yard with cement. That way, when it rains, we don't have to worry about getting our shoes dirty. We'll also build a small pond to collect rainwater."

After listening to this, Niu Jiandang said with a smile, "Why does this house sound like something a god would live in? If we were to build a house like that, wouldn't it cost a lot?"

"As long as the family lives comfortably, that's enough. As for the money, after two years, maybe our lives will be better and that little bit of money will just be a small amount." Xu Shike said with a smile.

After 1980, the country's economy was slowly recovering. Many individual businesses emerged, and some people even became millionaires. He knew that the future would only get better and better.
