Chapter Thirty-Seven: News and Decisions
That evening, upon hearing that An Songyu had returned, An Songlin and his wife also rushed back.
This summer, because An Songyu was in Jiangcun, An Songlin and his wife gained a clearer understanding of the village's development.
That's why they are so confident that their family will be able to buy them a house in two years.
They even felt that Jiangcun had great potential.
Looking at the entire family gathered together, An Songyu took a deep breath and solemnly addressed them:
"Dad, Mom, brother, sister-in-law, and Ah Xiang."
"Grandpa Lin talked to me about something today!"
He said: "This Sunday, we will gather everyone in the village to discuss the contracting of the remaining idle mulberry-fish ponds, orchards, and flower fields in the village."
Bi Lizhu was slightly taken aback, but she instantly understood what her daughter meant.
She couldn't help but frown and glare at An Songyu.
Then, she turned her gaze to the faces of the other people in the family.
Sure enough, the others either seemed quite interested or were deep in thought.
Bi Lizhu's furrowed brows tightened even more.
No wonder the child didn't say a word when he heard that the eldest son and his wife were coming back.
She knew about the relationship.
The eldest son and his wife are now concerned about continuing their contract in Jiangcun.
Not only did she not feel any rejection, but she became even more attracted to it.
I don't want to give them any more time to think.
Bi Lizhu readily agreed: "Then I'll go on Sunday!"
"Songlin, you two haven't been to Grandma's house this month. Why don't you two go together this Sunday?"
As she spoke, her gaze fell on her husband for a fleeting moment.
In the end, I gave up.
Bi Lizhu wanted to send An Jianping away as well.
Based on the couple's understanding of each other over many years.
If An Jianping really has an idea, he won't wait until Sunday.
Even after Sunday, he can still call back to the village at any time.
Or you could simply take leave and rush back.
As for her youngest daughter, Bi Lizhu subconsciously ignored the past.
After all, even if she went along, she wouldn't be able to make decisions for herself.
An Songyu was not surprised by this result.
However, An Songlin and his wife were quite disappointed.
But before Bi Lizhu could even breathe a sigh of relief...
The couple whispered to each other for a while, and seemed to have reached a new consensus.
Sure enough, An Songlin spoke up: "Mom, we can visit Grandpa and Grandma on Saturday too."
“Ah Ying gets two days off a week, and although I don’t, I can still swap shifts with someone.”
How could she not know that her son could switch shifts?
Bi Lizhu suppressed her displeasure and didn't let the smile on her face fade.
An Songxiang secretly gave her sister a wink, signaling An Songyu to be careful.
An Songyu was no fool, of course.
The next morning, I told my family and then boarded the inter-regional bus to the north.
The area between Rongdi and Beidi is almost the entire Liangdi.
Therefore, the shortest route is to pass directly through the good land.
An Songyu had gotten used to this path.
Before their rebirth, the couple would return to their hometown almost every year for the Spring Festival.
Whether it's going from the husband's family to the wife's family, or from the wife's family to the husband's family.
This direction has never changed.
The only thing that has changed is the road.
An Songyu sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside.
After crossing the bridge from Rongdi, which was noticeably different from Rongdi, we arrived at Liangdi, the most prosperous area in Shuncheng District.
However, since it doesn't go into the very center of the city, the bustling areas are still limited.
Immediately afterwards, for a considerable distance, the view outside the car window showed a very distinct polarization on both sides.
Construction hasn't even started here yet?
An Songyu gazed intently into the distance.
Seeing that Tongxin Hospital, which was originally considered one of the well-known hospitals in the area, was just a single building and parking lot?
No wonder the surrounding area hasn't been developed yet.
With that thought in mind, An Songyu started thinking about something else.
About four or five years later, a well-known wealthy village was built across from Tongxin Hospital.
It was relocated from that undeveloped area further back.
In Shuncheng, the resettlement housing provided after demolition also comes in different forms.
Some, like Jiangcun, were resettled in newly built residential areas elsewhere.
Some people moved back to their original location.
None of this is surprising.
What's truly rare is the area opposite Tongxin Hospital.
Several villages were divided into one whole area.
Each family has a plot of land for housing, and construction is carried out uniformly according to the government's planning map.
Not only is life completely different from that in the old district, but they also receive a considerable amount of compensation for the demolition.
Of course, for those who originally only had dilapidated or dangerous houses, they still need to take out loans to build houses on the newly allocated homesteads in accordance with government requirements.
However, with the development of the times, the area around Tongxin Hospital has also become a bustling area of Liangdi.
It was originally an ordinary resettlement housing community.
Because of the neat layout and convenient access, the ground floor storefronts of each household have become golden goose hen laying golden eggs.
However, An Songyu was not clear about the specifics of the matter.
She only found out about this when her cousin graduated and found a job, and her uncle's family hosted a celebration.
After driving through this area, the rest of my family only mentioned it a few times.
Keeping this matter to herself, An Songyu looked out the window at the increasingly desolate area, but vaguely seemed to see high-rise buildings being built in the back.
But these places are different from the place we just visited.
Several companies have already jointly acquired the land for several years.
Nowadays, there are hardly any buildings or even trees on it, let alone any buildings.
Although it does look overgrown with weeds now.
But once construction begins, this place will be transformed into a bustling corner of a metropolis in a very short time.
After this area, although it was still considered good land, it was gradually divided into the area of the city.
The buildings here are almost all not very tall.
Moreover, there are many large factory buildings in sight.
But for this area, let alone ten or eight years.
Even twenty years later, when An Songyu came to this area to look for delicious food, it seemed that not much had changed.
So the development of cities is quite amazing.
Soon, the bus passed Liangdi and entered the northern territory.
The Northland does indeed look desolate nowadays.
Especially at the border between Liangdi and Beidi.
This is where the flower and plant cultivation industry has truly developed.
Jiangcun's approach was merely a small-scale operation.
After passing through this vast area of green plants, scattered small buildings came into view.
An Songyu didn't know much about these things before.
Looking at it now, it's probably a place like Jiangcun!
After walking a short distance further, the buildings began to become denser.
Gradually, even some residential areas and high-rise buildings appeared.
Until they arrived at a bustling area no less prosperous than the center of Liangdi.
An Songyu then pressed the bell to signal to get off the bus.
This is the vicinity of Chien Tzu-yu's company.
Although their company headquarters is still an unremarkable four-story building.
It cannot compare to the distinctive buildings that would later become famous throughout Shuncheng, even those dozens of stories high.
But this place holds a significant place in their company's history.
