Chapter 21 Upstarts
After the people from the demolition office moved in, they began to take photos of each house without stopping, and people were also arranged to check the crops in the fields one by one.
"Hui, your luck is here and it cannot be stopped. I heard from Team Leader Yu that the trees in the field are compensated one by one. The lychee trees planted by your family are economic crops, so the compensation is even higher than that of other trees." Aunt Meihua ran over in a hurry and said enviously.
"Hehe." Zhong Hui couldn't say anything and just kept laughing.
Zhong Xiong also laughed, and his teeth showed.
"By the way, the demolition office is mobilizing people to sign up. They said that you can get measured and pay first, and you can also get priority in choosing resettlement housing. I see that other families are waiting and watching, and no one has signed up yet." Aunt Meihua's family is still waiting and watching.
Zhong Hui nodded: "Aunt Meihua, has your Tingwen come back?"
"I'm back. I came back this morning. You explained the demolition plan to me clearly, and I understood it. Demolition is a good thing. No wonder the people in Shangtuan Village are looking forward to it every day. With this demolition, I will have money. I will buy a house in the city for my son Tingwen, the biggest one. After he buys the house, I will wait for him to get married." Aunt Meihua said happily.
"Very good, very good."
"Yes, I feel relieved as soon as he comes back. Look, when I heard that he is back, his second uncle and third uncle asked him to help interpret the plan." Aunt Meihua said proudly.
Zhong Hui also said that if there was anything she didn't understand, she could go to her husband Tingwen. Aunt Meihua immediately agreed: "We're neighbors, so just come."
Aunt Meihua chatted for a few more minutes, but couldn't sit still anymore and went to the village to watch the fun.
The house is about to be demolished, and every household is bustling with activity, even more so than during the Chinese New Year.
Zhong Hui also went to the village committee to inquire, and it was indeed the same as what Aunt Meihua said, that the measurement should be done first and the payment should be made first. However, everyone is still waiting and watching, and some are afraid that they will be at a disadvantage if they sign up first.
Zhong Hui didn't think so. Her house had just been built and had not been decorated yet. The doors and windows had not been installed yet. She had already gotten a great bargain.
Nowadays, policies change every day, and I feel more at ease when the money is in my own pocket.
After talking to Zhong Xiong about it, Zhong Xiong agreed, so Zhong Hui immediately ran to the village committee again.
When the people from the demolition office saw Zhong Hui coming back, their eyes lit up. They had done several projects and had experience, so when it came to measurement, they had to have someone to take the lead.
"Ms. Zhong Hui, are you here to register?" Team leader Yu asked with a smile.
"Yes, Team Leader Yu, I'm here to sign up. My family is willing to be the first to be measured." Zhong Hui said affirmatively.
"Okay, then come over and register." Team leader Yu greeted.
Zhong Hui quickly wrote it down in the registration book. When Team Leader Yu saw the family population, there were only Zhong Hui and her daughter, he was surprised.
Without saying much, after seeing that it was filled out and there were no problems, he said, "Okay, we'll come directly to your house at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home." Zhong Hui said with a smile, said hello to Team Leader Yu and went straight out of the village committee.
"Zhong Hui, have you signed up? You signed up right now? Why don't you wait a few days?" someone asked curiously.
Zhong Hui shook her head: "That's not necessary. If we measure and choose a house earlier, we can choose a better one."
"Oh, you are just young and don't understand the ins and outs of it. The longer you delay, the more compensation you will get." Someone said.
Zhong Hui smiled and said no more.
Seeing that Zhong Hui had signed up, Party Secretary Zhong Xiuwen also took the lead in signing up, and Zhong Xiong and Zhong Qin also signed up. Gradually, the villagers became restless.
Aunt Meihua and Uncle Xiuye were still hesitating, so their son advised, "Dad, Mom, this time it's the government that's expropriating the land, not the developer. Once the plan is finalized, it won't be changed. If we delay any longer, we won't get any more compensation for the demolition. By then, most of the resettlement housing will have been chosen, so it won't be worth it."
Aunt Meihua listened to her son and said, "Okay, I'll sign up too. I want the demolition to start sooner and I'll get the money sooner. When the demolition money arrives, I'll buy you a house in the city."
"Are you still dating your girlfriend? Once we have a house, we will go to her house to propose marriage, how about that?" Aunt Meihua said happily.
Zhong Tingwen was also happy and nodded heavily. Now that he could buy a house, he would feel less pressured.
…
When Zhong Xu and Zhong Linlin came home from school, they saw that everyone in the family was in high spirits. The two little ones didn't know what was going on.
"Mom, what happened at home?" Zhong Xu asked cautiously.
"Our house is going to be demolished, our Xiatuan Village is going to be demolished, and our family will be rich now." Yang Fangqin said excitedly without hiding it from Zhong Xu.
"Then I'm a rich second-generation man, right?" Zhong Xu danced around exaggeratedly.
"What rich second generation? He's just a nouveau riche at best and doesn't have much money. You should study hard and don't think about those nonsense." Zhong Xiong kicked Zhong Xu's butt with a smile.
Zhong Xu chuckled: "I know, I know, Dad, now that our family has money, can you buy me a remote control racing car?"
Zhong Xiong was happy: "Buy it, but you have to study hard."
"I know, I know." Zhong Xu agreed repeatedly.
Zhong Linlin walked over to Zhong Hui and asked carefully, "Mom, do we have money now?"
"Yes, our house is also going to be demolished. When mom has money, she will buy you a big house, send you to dance, and learn piano..." Zhong Hui couldn't stop the joy on her face as she fantasized about a better life in the future.
"Okay, I like dancing, and I also want to learn piano." Hearing that her family was rich, Zhong Linlin no longer carefully hid her thoughts.
Zhong Hui touched her head, feeling that all the hardship had finally paid off.
At night, Zhong Hui held Linlin in her arms while she slept. She couldn't fall asleep the whole night. She kept her eyes open, thinking, how should I spend so much money?
She likes to buy houses, buy a lot of houses, and she likes to be a landlady. Only when she has a house in her hands can she feel at ease.
She didn't sleep much that night, thinking about how to spend the money. The next day, before dawn, Zhong Hui was already looking at the time. When the time came, she rushed over there to wait.
