Chapter Eleven Household Registration
Inside the room, the two sisters stared at each other in disbelief for a long, long time.
Once everyone else in the family had left, they felt relieved and began to discuss the matter.
An Songxiang lowered her voice and asked, "Sister, what are you going to do about your household registration transfer?"
"I need to ask the school first to find out." An Songyu wasn't sure either.
After all, she had hardly ever worried about these things in her previous life.
After graduating from school, she followed the school's two-way selection policy and went directly to a large hotel in Nanshi, starting as a front desk attendant.
And next year, she and her husband will start a small family in the southern part of the city.
To be honest, An Songyu's understanding of Shuncheng's development over the next one or two decades is not particularly detailed.
In other words, the demolition of Jiangcun was a turning point that affected the fate of their entire family.
Otherwise, even if An Songyu could start over.
The exact timing of the demolition cannot be determined entirely.
"Then you have to get on with it right away!" An Songxiang urged.
She also had some guesses about what her father was thinking.
Regardless of the circumstances, if Jiangcun is destined to be demolished, the two sisters will receive an extra resettlement fee simply because they are registered residents of the village.
This is something that only benefits you, and An Songxiang definitely doesn't want to miss it.
An Songyu's thoughts were not much different from her sister's.
She quickly nodded: "I'll go back and talk to Sister Xia, and ask her to try to schedule me for the nearest rest day."
"It would be best if it were tomorrow... that way, we can process our household registrations together." An Songxiang said with a hint of longing.
But they were also more afraid that something might go wrong.
After all, their father had clearly bypassed their mother to inform the two of them.
If I take too much leave to deal with the household registration issues for both of us, my mother might find out.
We must follow Bi Lizhu's personality.
This isn't about giving away the benefits that belong to the son to the daughter; she should also do her best to fight for her daughters.
But the situation isn't special right now, and the two sisters don't dare to provoke her at a time like this.
No matter how anxious the two sisters were, they could only deal with this matter when An Songyu went to work in the afternoon.
So the two of them simply locked the door and left home.
Although you can't inquire about demolition and relocation news, you can still pay attention to other related news.
While the two sisters were busy with their own things, An Jianping and his two companions arrived in Jiangcun.
After getting off the bus at the entrance of Jiangcun Village, An Jianping looked at his son and asked:
"Songlin, Xiaoxuan, I need to go to the captain's house first. Are you coming with me, or are you going somewhere else first?"
An Songlin and his fiancée exchanged a glance and simultaneously refused.
"Dad/Uncle, we'd like to look around a bit first!"
An Jianping was not surprised. After nodding to the two men, he went directly to the village committee.
He came to Jiangcun today because he has important business to attend to.
The village committee of Jiangcun is located not far from the entrance of the village. It is a two-story building that has obviously been built for some time.
An Jianping knocked on the innermost office on the second floor.
Jiang Wenlin, the village head who had been waiting inside, looked up.
Upon seeing An Jianping, he immediately greeted him, "Jianping, you've arrived! Come in and sit down!"
"Uncle Lin!" An Jianping greeted him politely.
After the two sat down and tea was brewed, Jiang Wenlin pondered for a moment before asking:
"Jianping, I think I heard your brother say that you're planning to give up both of your homestead plots in the village?"
An Jianping shook his head somewhat embarrassedly:
"Uncle Lin, I don't have that thought anymore. It's just that I was a bit anxious back then, which is why I thought of those things."
Jiang Wenlin breathed a slight sigh of relief, and said with particular earnestness:
“Jianping, to be honest, our two families aren’t exactly outsiders.”
“If your family really needs money urgently, come back to the village and let us know.”
"After all, in previous years, which family in the village hadn't received your help?"
"I believe that as long as you are willing to ask, even if you don't have much, you can still scrape together a few hundred or a thousand yuan for yourself."
"No need, no need!" An Jianping quickly waved his hand.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to take this opportunity to tentatively ask:
"By the way, Uncle Lin, I heard that there are quite a few fish ponds, mulberry fields, and flower fields in the village that haven't been leased out?"
Jiang Wenlin glanced helplessly at An Jianping.
He assumed that Jiang Jianping was just trying to change the subject by making up something because he didn't want to talk about the lack of money.
However, this is something that almost everyone who has lived in the village for a long time knows.
Jiang Wenlin then followed up on An Jianping's question and started chatting:
“There are indeed still many fish ponds, mulberry fields, and flower fields in the village that have not been contracted out.”
"However, these locations that haven't been contracted out aren't particularly good."
“Jianping, you spend most of your time in the city, so you may not know the current situation in the village.”
"Nowadays, most people in the village are running agritainment businesses or picking specialty fruits. In order to better entertain guests, even if they own land, they would rather lease a location closer to the village entrance."
"After all, these locations are more convenient for transportation and make it easier to greet customers."
Before the implementation of the household contract responsibility system, Jiangcun was in a state of emergency.
By planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms to harvest cocoons, it became a well-known wealthy village in the vicinity.
After An Jianping graduated from vocational school and was retained by a silk factory in the city due to his excellent grades.
The silkworm cocoons from Jiangcun can be directly supplied to silk weaving factories.
As a result, Jiangcun has also vigorously developed the mulberry-dike-fishpond model.
This model remained unchanged even after the implementation of the household contract responsibility system.
However, two models were adopted when Jiangcun distributed land.
One type was suitable for growing grains and vegetables, and it was directly distributed to each household.
Another type is the development of mulberry-dike-fishpond systems, which are created by completely developing low-lying and wasteland areas that were originally unsuitable for planting.
Each entity should provide personnel for centralized management.
Therefore, in Jiangcun, the area of land belonging to the village collective has always been quite large.
Later, Jiangcun found a better direction for development, but most of the mulberry-dike-fishponds remained untouched.
The land allocated to each family was transformed into flower fields and orchards.
And now, agritourism is beginning to flourish.
Everyone in the village is too busy with their own affairs.
The mulberry-fish ponds and flower fields that once led the entire village to prosperity have gradually fallen into disrepair.
In the past two years, the village officials have been trying to find a solution.
The goal is to revitalize these gradually abandoned lands.
However, those mulberry-dike-fishponds that have been transformed due to the terrain are really not suitable for being converted back into vegetable gardens, orchards, etc.
Those abandoned flower fields are all quite far from the village.
Even with village officials taking the lead in contracting out land, it was difficult to change the situation in the village.
Jiang Wenlin couldn't help but sigh as he thought about it.
An Jianping already knew some of the situation in the village.
However, they were unaware of the attitudes of the village officials.
Seeing Jiang Wenlin's appearance now, a certain idea in my heart began to stir again.
