Chapter 86 Two Considerations
An Songxiang's suggestion drew the attention of everyone in the An family.
After discussing it together, they all agreed that this method was good.
Therefore, when An Songyu met his family in Jiangcun, he did not see any obvious displeasure on Bi Lizhu's face.
Let alone An Songyu.
Even Yuan Qionghua, who didn't have much contact with Bi Lizhu, felt that something was amiss.
Originally, she wanted to apologize first!
Now I don't know how to start the conversation.
However, when we talked about it a few days later, she knew the houses that she had taken An Songyu to see that afternoon like the back of her hand.
So I forgot to pay attention to my sister-in-law's expression.
Upon hearing this, Shi Youqin shook her head: "The houses in this city are too expensive! Even those with only a foundation left are worth twenty or thirty thousand?"
"These two or three thousand yuan are enough for us to build a two-story house in the village."
“So that’s the city, and this is a village!” Yuan Qionghua said with a smile.
She was also quite uncomfortable when she first heard these prices.
After hearing more about it, I realized that such housing prices are actually quite normal in the city.
Of course, most people who could actually afford it wouldn't be willing to buy such an old house.
"Wouldn't it be even more expensive to build a house in the city?" Shi Youqin clicked her tongue in amazement.
"Well... that's not necessarily true!" An Jian'an, who was recently preparing to build a house, thought carefully for a while before answering:
"As far as building materials are concerned, the prices should not differ much."
As he said this, he also looked at An Jianmin and An Jianping.
In the past year, only those two families have built houses.
An Jianmin nodded affirmatively.
He bought the building materials for both companies.
To understand the market conditions for building materials, he inquired in many places.
Because of the distance, I didn't specifically inquire about Liangdi.
But he's in business and has a wide network of information.
By consciously gathering information, I gained some understanding.
In terms of material prices, there isn't much difference between loose and good quality land.
"Then... if we hire the same people who originally built the houses for the third and fifth sons, the labor cost won't be much different?" Shi Youqin's eyes widened, and suddenly she didn't think the foundation of the good land was expensive anymore.
This would cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan more than building a house in their village.
In the city, or even in places like Liangdi, there is one more of the same house.
It doesn't seem like it's unacceptable.
“It’s not calculated that way,” An Jianmin explained to his mother with a smile. “Besides materials and labor, building a house also involves costs such as material transportation, storage, and food expenses.”
“These things are nothing to us who live in the village.”
"The vegetables and poultry we used to grow ourselves were enough for most of our meals."
"The only thing that really needs to be spent on food is buying some fresh pork."
"Moreover, the village has a lot of space, so the materials can be transported directly to the front of the houses."
“But it’s different in the city, especially in those alleyways.”
"Just the labor required to move the materials is quite substantial."
An Jianmin also has a fruit stall in that market.
Naturally, I know the general situation.
Hearing him say that, the others' enthusiasm indeed waned.
An Jianmin, however, seemed to be deep in thought.
He looked at An Songyu and Yuan Qionghua, who had come all the way back.
In the end, their attention turned to their little niece.
Just as An Jianping predicted.
After the demolition actually began, An Jianmin also believed that the information An Songyu had received might have been more specific.
Or perhaps she found a way to verify it.
In short, I heard An Songyu express interest in those dilapidated houses once again.
An Jianmin also paid some attention to it.
Jiangcun is not quiet at night.
An Songyu's family, along with most of the people with the surname An, sat in the paved courtyard in front of the four houses in the row where An Songyu's house was located.
"I heard that the demolition team will be coming into the village in a few days," an elder from the An family asked An Songyu's family.
An Jianguo, who usually stayed in the village, put down his teacup and said, "He'll be here next week."
The demolition team they were referring to was not the demolition group or surveying group already stationed in the village.
Instead, it was the team actually responsible for the demolition.
"Then you guys take a look at the situation. If you're too busy these next couple of days, just let us know," someone in the crowd immediately said.
"Yes, yes, yes, the An family was quick and responsive that day, and most of them registered first."
"The surveying and registration of the fields has now been basically completed."
"All that's left is the house and the yard."
"However, we'll have to wait until the Jiang family has finished measuring all their fields before we can take those measurements together."
"We all have plenty of time these days!"
"Yes, when exactly are you moving? Have you rented a place yet? Are you planning to rent in Xinlin Community like the village chief and the others?"
Upon hearing the name Xinlin Residential Area, An Songyu and the others couldn't help but look over.
If she remembered correctly, it seemed that neither of the two phases of resettlement housing in Lin Village was called this name.
Sure enough, before An Songyu could even finish her thought, someone in the crowd laughed: "What Xinlin Residential Area?"
"What were the residential areas called again for those people who were relocated first in Lin Village?"
"Ah... Sunshine Community!"
"You call Sunshine a residential area? That's strange! I've heard from various people that the village chief and his group rented a place in Xinlin Residential Area."
"They meant it was the new residential area in Lin Village."
"It's not Xinlin Community."
The topic then shifted to another area.
Yuan Qionghua breathed a slight sigh of relief, then looked thoughtfully at the other family members.
In fact, even if no one comes over tonight, they can still find a place to stay.
I just saw that their whole family had come back.
Not to mention the clansmen with the same surname who are gathered together nowadays.
Even the other people from Jiangcun came over to say hello.
Some are still inquiring about buying a house.
Some, however, chatted about other things.
An Songyu listened, as if they were saying that they were from the same village.
Even if they are temporarily separated due to relocation, they should still maintain their relationship as fellow villagers.
In short, after listening to a few sentences, she felt that there seemed to be some other meaning behind them.
But she really didn't know enough about Jiangcun, so she could only observe her father's reaction.
What kind of reaction could An Jianping possibly have?
I will decline all invitations.
Aside from family members, it's all about other people's businesses and investments!
He wouldn't engage in any conversation.
Anyway, although he grew up in Jiangcun, he did benefit from Jiangcun's influence in this demolition project.
But he has indeed been living a peaceful life all these years.
Even this demolition, which would cause most people in Jiangcun to worry about finding housing, has nothing to do with him.
After a short while, all the members of their clan left.
All that was left was their large family.
When asked by her own family, Yuan Qionghua did not try to evade the question.
She glanced at An Songyu before saying, "I have two options to consider right now."
"If it's like the fourth brother's family, they also bought a house in Liangdi."
“Even if it’s just for rebuilding, it would be more convenient for us to rent the house there.”
"If you don't have that idea for the time being, then we'll naturally have to trouble you, Third Brother."
