Chapter 89 Sharing the Burden
“But Dad…” Before An Songyu could finish speaking, someone behind her interrupted her.
"But Dad, our money is your money too! Don't take any more from your uncles and aunts."
"Let's share the burden of contracting out Linhe Village, just like we did with Jiang Village back then!"
Bi Lizhu stood behind her husband, looking at her three children who had all come to visit.
The last trace of resentment in my heart vanished completely.
It turns out that even if you don't manage your children's money or watch them spend it, it's still possible to achieve something.
They also voluntarily contribute to this family.
In the end, An Jianping could not refuse the three children's insistence.
Even though he said it countless times.
The uncles and elders voluntarily helped pay those expenses.
After all, raising silkworms is not a necessity for An Jianping nowadays.
Instead, it became a source of solace for Anshun and his wife.
Therefore, in Linhe Village, the first thing to be renovated was not the silkworm house that was in urgent need of use.
It was a large house where the two elderly people would occasionally stay, so that their family could stay there sometimes.
Fortunately, there is a dilapidated house left by the previous owner next to the reservoir.
Although most of them have to be rebuilt.
At least we don't need to find a new place to build a house, nor do we need to do any special tidying up.
Lying in bed that night, Bi Lizhu suddenly sighed to her husband again:
"Jianping, don't you feel that our children have all grown up?"
An Jianping felt that his wife's words sounded familiar.
But seeing the rare smile on his wife's face, he simply nodded in agreement and lost all interest in thinking about anything else.
The next morning, Yuan Qionghua, who lived just one house away, came looking for them.
She greeted An Songyu's family with a smile:
"Breakfast is ready, come and eat with us!"
As she spoke, Yuan Qionghua made a point of glancing at the expressions on the faces of the others.
Noticing that the family all seemed to be in exceptionally good spirits, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
When An Songyu's family went there.
It wasn't just An Jianmin and his family of three who lived further away who arrived.
Just last night, An Jian'an and his family of three, who also stayed in the village, arrived.
The two cousins, who are about the same age, have already gotten together.
They were the ones in the family least affected by the demolition.
After breakfast, the whole family started talking about buying a house in Liangdi.
Everyone involuntarily looked at An Songyu's family.
Clearly, they reached an agreement at home last night.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, An Jianping said directly:
"How about... we go and check it out in person today?"
Upon hearing his words, everyone in the room seemed to become excited.
In no time, the sounds of people calling out to each other and discussing taking a car filled the air.
Anshun and his wife, who were invited by their sons, showed absolutely no interest.
He's too old to understand modern society!
Instead of giving bad advice, it's better to stay in the village.
Continue to monitor the silkworm rearing process.
In two more days, the new silkworm rearing room will be almost completely dried out.
These silkworms also need to be moved to a new home.
The four brothers and three cars were enough to squeeze in a little.
It was quite bumpy before we even reached Jiangcun Street.
An Songyu opened the car window, wanting to get some fresh air.
Then we saw a brand-new car rushing into the village, kicking up a cloud of dust.
She couldn't help but squint slightly to make a closer look.
After she saw the car logo clearly, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise:
"My God, people are actually driving Passats now!"
"What are you afraid of?" An Songxiang didn't hear the tongue-twisting name clearly and couldn't help but ask.
"The Volkswagen Passat, a small car that costs over 200,000, almost 300,000!" An Songyu knew that most people didn't know much about cars, so he specifically mentioned its price.
But her words caused everyone in the car to turn around in surprise.
I wanted to get a good look at what the car that had just driven by looked like.
What? It costs a full two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand!
This is more expensive than the house they bought!
After that, Bi Lizhu really had no more ideas.
At least, her children bought houses that they can actually live in!
Exactly, can a house like this still be lived in?
Standing once again in front of that nearly abandoned homestead, Bi Lizhu was filled with deep doubt.
Yuan Qionghua lowered her voice in front of her sister-in-law and said:
"Third sister-in-law, don't let its desolate appearance fool you, it's in a great location and has a large area!"
Bi Lizhu looked up and saw that the so-called good location was good.
He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth again.
This area used to be considered the edge of good land.
Although it's called a village, it's actually more like a small town.
Further along, you'll find bustling markets, schools, and even clinics.
Their current location should be near the edge.
Standing in front of this house site, which is already half collapsed.
You can see the vegetable fields next to it and the groves of small trees further away through it.
On the other side of this plot of land, there is also a vegetable garden.
According to Yuan Qionghua, it originally belonged to the owner of this plot of land.
When Yuan Qionghua first came to see him, the other party said:
As long as they buy his house, they can use this vegetable garden as they please.
"But can this house really be traded?" An Songxiang couldn't help but confirm again.
“Of course we can trade!” Yuan Qionghua nodded affirmatively.
This place was indeed a village within the city before.
However, with the development of the city over the years, it has long since been separated from collective land and become state-owned land.
With Yuan Qionghua's assurance, everyone felt a little more at ease.
Let's put aside this plot of land that can hardly be called a house for now.
Looking more closely at the surrounding environment, it does seem to have quite an advantage.
First, it is indeed too far from the market.
But the road to the market is just outside.
Even though the alleyway we came in from was definitely too narrow for large vehicles.
However, the houses here are not built densely.
After unloading the materials, bring them in again, and there will still be a place to pile them up.
Moreover, it's a good thing that the house is dilapidated, as its price will definitely not be high, and it will be easy to rebuild or demolish it.
Thinking about it this way, the group became more accepting of the plot of land.
Next, the group looked at all the homesteads that Yuan Qionghua had seen and that An Songyu had seen.
In general, while each has its own shortcomings, each also has its own advantages.
So, when the group gathered again at the flaming goose stall behind the market, it was almost time to call their ranks.
Finally, An Songyu set his sights on the largest plot of land for building houses.
An Songxiang didn't want to be too far from her sister, so she chose a plot of land nearby.
Almost everyone else followed this line of thinking.
But when it came to Yuan Qionghua, she hesitated.
After dividing up about ten plots of land for residential use, it's actually about right.
As for the remaining four or five plots of land for residential use, it all depends on what Yuan Qionghua decides to do.
Buying a house or land certainly can't be done on a Sunday.
The homesteads that Yuan Qionghua chose are basically not suitable for the current market.
So they don't need to worry that someone else will beat them to it in a day or two.
After enjoying a delicious meal of flaming goose in peace.
They then went to see the rental apartment that An Jian'an had already selected.
