Chapter 121 Division of Labor (Part 1)
Shi Qingqing's defense was: "You have to be careful. Don't show off your wealth when you go back. Talk less and make fewer mistakes. Also remind your cousin.
By the way, you can bring people down directly when you go back. You don’t need to bring anything else. Just bring your own underwear. We can find the rest at home, so the old man won’t have to carry his bedding when he goes back later.”
Zhao Fengnian still had that surprised expression. Shi Qingqing pushed his chest and said, "What's going on? Why do you keep looking like that?"
Zhao Fengnian said: Wife, you suddenly really speak up when you have something to say, but I’m a little uncomfortable with it.
"Then I won't say it anymore."
That won't work.
That's good, keep it up.
Zhao Fengnian laughed and teased Shi Qingqing.
Shi Qingqing worked sincerely and efficiently. As soon as Zhao Fengnian got in the car, she asked Sister Chen and Sister Wu if there were any houses for rent in the local area, preferably with an independent courtyard.
"Ah, since Old Wu has a fleet here, there aren't many young people working outside, so housing is not very abundant... Let me think about a separate house. By the way, do you mind if the person who owns that house dies?"
It's impossible to say that I don't mind at all, but it's possible that there haven't been one or two elderly people who have left this old house.
If an ordinary person goes out for a walk, he might find bones buried under his feet.
As long as the house is suitable, this problem will not be a problem. People are being pushed to the edge of the cliff by the sharp blade of life. Those who care about this are fools.
"Then shall I take you to see it?"
Sister Chen, who was standing by, said nothing and went to see as well.
Afterwards, Shi Qingqing came out of that house not very satisfied. The price-performance ratio was too low and the location was not very good either.
Mrs. Wu only knew that no one had lived in this house in the past few years, and she didn't know anything else. Sister Chen waited until Mrs. Wu went back halfway before she spoke. She did know a place, but it was not in the village, but on the edge of the village. A long time ago, when transportation was inconvenient, someone set up roadblocks and made fake toll stations here, so there was still a building with an attic left.
It was not habitable. It was built as a decoration for those who did bad things at that time. The area is very small.
However, those people were arrested a few years ago, the road on this side was built, and that place was smashed but not demolished.
As luck would have it, someone raised pigs there and wanted to save some materials to build a pigpen, and also built a melon shed next to the road. As a result, the pigs died, the chickens died, and the melon fields were also severely damaged.
ah?
Isn't this a dangerous place?
"You're just kidding. Actually, I know everything, but I'm just not saying it. Back then, people couldn't stand the freeloaders who occupied that place without paying a penny. Although the person who blocked the road to collect the fee was arrested, the location of that place is good and many people want it. That person's mother-in-law is the sister of the village party secretary. You know the ability of the village cadres. People can't object openly, but isn't it easy for them to do something bad when they think of it?"
But in this case, if you pay money to the village, all the people in the village will become a collective, which is equivalent to paying money to the collective, and such a thing is unlikely to happen again.
And if you just do some food business, it will be convenient for the village, but there is a premise. "Don't conflict with other people's food in the village, such as taro balls." "Don't worry, we are not making local delicacies, we won't steal business from others." Shi Qingqing deliberately said: "Of course we are not afraid of others stealing our business, we have our own secret recipe, and the taste will be different if we miss some steps. It's pointless to drive us away, I'll go and see the place you mentioned."
After a look, I found that the melon shed was still there but the melons were now wild.
You may also encounter a few unidentified objects in the ground.
After saying so much, there is still one thing that is unsatisfactory. Shi Qingqing feels that all her words were wasted.
However, there is a piece of flat land that has been opened up a little further south of the old "toll station", which is a bit far from the abandoned melon field that has almost become a public toilet and will not be affected.
"Why is this place flat? No grass at all? And it's surrounded by a wall of shell adobe?"
"Ah, that's my family. We were originally planning to build a house, but my son decided to go to the city to buy some, so the materials were put on hold. Originally, they were all ready to be delivered, but later they were distributed to other families who were in a hurry to build houses.
Those shells and other things are piled up by my family and I whenever we have time. After a few years, they have become taller than a person. Why do you like this place?"
But this is a vacant lot, and the construction was halted just as the foundation was laid.
Shi Qingqing remembered that Sister Xu built a chicken farm and a house to meet basic living needs. It only needed to shelter from wind and rain and the door could be locked.
The wall is already there and the foundation has been laid, so adding another floor and building a bungalow with three rooms will be enough.
Because of the wall, smoky and fire-prone work can still be done in the yard.
"Would you like to rent this place? Or we can build three rooms and live here for three years. After that, the structure of the house will be yours. I promise I won't mess it up for you."
ah?
I like this one in my house.
It's like giving her family a room for a year.
"I'll go home and discuss it." Sister Chen didn't dare to make a decision and had to go home and discuss it with her man.
Shi Qingqing nodded: "It has no water or electricity, and there are still many things to be done later. But if we take over and build it up, it will be good for the elderly in three years or for storing sundries. It was empty here anyway, right?"
Sister Chen said the same thing again, she wanted to go home and discuss it.
Shi Qingqing felt that she had fought for it, so she didn't pursue her and refused to give in. She and Sister Chen slowly walked down the road and returned to the village.
Then she went back to pack her things.
The furniture upstairs that is not needed temporarily can be sent over there for use first, as long as my cousin doesn't damage it.
I'd like two sets of the dormitory-quality bedding you find in the mall.
The couple had one set and the child had another set. It was still more than half a year before they needed to cover themselves with thick quilts. This half year was enough time for them to buy their own quilts. She didn't need to make arrangements for the winter as well.
Prepare two sets of clothes for the girls, take out some unused daily necessities from the warehouse, and put together a set of kitchen utensils.
That's about it.
Other arrangements will have to wait for Sister Chen’s reply.
When a husband and wife work together, they can achieve anything. While his wife was busy here, Zhao Fengnian arrived at his hometown in the evening of the same day. He took advantage of the dark sky to avoid crowded places and called his wife. After waiting for a while, his wife came back soon.
The two talked on the phone, and Shi Qingqing asked him approximately when he would arrive at the station.
"I asked them as soon as I got off the bus. If the bus tomorrow morning goes smoothly, it will arrive at our city station at 5pm. I will then take them to transfer to the town and then to our place."
"I'll drive a tricycle to pick you up."
It saves you from having to make several trips.
