I couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Do you have enough dishes at home?"
Lu Youxi raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up slowly and said, "As long as you have the heart, it will definitely be enough."
I don't know who this is directed to.
It means that as long as they are willing, they can always get the dishes and chopsticks together.
It's still a satire on the two couples, Zhang Jialiang and Zhang Jiayu. As long as they are willing to come back, any time will be enough.
Zhang Jialiang and Zhang Jiayu were unable to understand what Lu Youxi meant for a moment and felt very depressed.
"Aunt, let me get it." Lu Youxi said to the village head's wife.
But the village head's wife still went to the kitchen with Lu Youxi.
After gathering the bowls and chopsticks, everyone squeezed together and made four empty seats for the four people to sit down.
"Didn't you say before that you wouldn't be able to come back this year?" Grandma Xu concealed her disappointment at not being able to see her grandchildren. She was still very surprised that her children could come back.
"I came back after I finished my work." Zhang Jialiang explained with a smile.
Li Yuqin glanced at the village chief from time to time, and secretly pulled Zhang Jialiang under the table.
Zhang Jialiang was unmoved at first, but later he became annoyed by being dragged around and secretly waved Li Yuqin's hand away under the table.
Li Yuqin's face suddenly drooped and her expression darkened.
Zhang Jialiang could only give Li Yuqin another look.
I've just sat down, don't be in a hurry.
The village chief had originally raised his glass, wanting to drink with everyone, but upon seeing this, he put it down again and asked with a smile, "Jialiang, is there anything you want to ask?"
Zhang Jialiang chuckled twice. They did have something they wanted to verify.
Now that the village chief asked him about it, Zhang Jialiang couldn't deny it.
Li Yuqin couldn't help herself and said, "Village Chief, since you asked, I'll tell you."
"You say." The village chief simply put down his chopsticks.
"I heard that our village is going to be demolished and the government will give us a lot of compensation, is that right?" Li Yuqin asked.
"Where did you hear the news?" the village chief asked in surprise.
"Just tell me if it's true." After Li Yuqin finished speaking, she felt something was wrong and said, "I happen to know someone from a nearby village. I heard what she said."
"It is true, but it is still in the planning stage and has not been finalized yet," said the village chief. "The compensation plan for the demolition funds and the price of the buildings built for the villagers have not yet been determined."
"Village chief, but I heard that not only in terms of demolition and house purchase, but also in other aspects, the people of our village will be given many preferential treatment, right?" Zhang Jiayu couldn't help asking.
"That's what they said, but there's still no specific plan."
"Brother, I remember that your household registration was moved to the city before, right?" Zhang Jiayu asked with a smile.
"Didn't you move away too?" Zhang Jialiang rolled his eyes at her.
how?
Did she think that because his household registration had been moved, she wanted to take it all for herself? "Mom, how are you going to distribute the demolition compensation for our house?" Li Yuqin asked bluntly.
Grandma Xu was stunned for a moment and said, "You want the demolition compensation?"
"Of course." Li Yuqin said as if it was a matter of course, "Jialiang is your only son, who else should you give your things to if not him? We all have a share in this family, right?"
"Sister-in-law, you sound like you're excluding me. I'm your daughter, too. You can't just give it to sons and not daughters." Zhang Jiayu said quickly, "Nowadays, we are against favoring boys over girls. If you say that, your thinking is really too feudal."
"I didn't tell you about this matter because it hasn't been finalized yet. I was planning to wait until it was finalized before I tell you in detail how it will be implemented, how much compensation will be given for the demolition, and how much the new house will cost in the future. I didn't expect you to know it first." Grandma Xu said with a disappointed heart.
"But now that you know, let me tell you my plan," said Grandma Xu. "I'm thinking that after the demolition money comes in and I pay for the new house, I'll see how much I'll have left."
"I will not keep any of the remaining money, but divide it equally between you two," said Grandma Xu. "When I am gone, you can sell the house and divide the proceeds equally between you two."
"I don't plan to leave the house to anyone alone." Grandma Xu said slowly, "You know I have never been partial to you. Whatever I have, it will be divided equally between the two of you."
"I saved money and gave it to you in half, without any bias." Grandma Xu said, "So don't worry, even if it's a house in the future, I will convert it into money and give it to you."
"The village chief is here, and he can be a witness." Grandma Xu said, "I think this is the fairest way. I think none of you can say it's inappropriate, right?"
Li Yuqin pursed her lips and was not very happy. Zhang Jialiang was a son, so why couldn't he get more? "Mom, Jialiang is a son, and I gave birth to a grandson for your family." Li Yuqin said, "Pengpeng will also buy a house and marry a wife in the future. Now in the city, a house is a must for getting married."
"If the man doesn't have a house of his own before getting married, no woman will be interested in him." Li Yuqin said coldly, "Although this house is in Hexing Village, if we give it to Jialiang, at least Pengpeng will have a house in the future. If the woman is not satisfied, we can sell the house and at least give Pengpeng a down payment in the city."
"You can't always think about so-called fairness and ignore your grandson Pengpeng." Li Yuqin said dissatisfiedly, "Mom, Yueyue is a girl, and it doesn't cost so much money to get married, but Pengpeng is different. He is your grandson. Even if you don't think about your son, you have to think more about Pengpeng."
"Bang!" Zhang Jiayu's face turned pale and she slammed the chopsticks heavily on the table.
No one picked up the chopsticks.
As soon as Zhang Jialiang mentioned the demolition, everyone knew the purpose of their return.
No one was in the mood to eat.
Even though there was a delicious meal on the table, I lost my appetite.
Lu Youxi sighed. He had originally intended to prepare a New Year's Eve dinner for Grandma Xu, but now it was ruined.
Even if Zhang Jialiang, Zhang Jiayu and the other three left, no one would be in a good mood afterwards.
Zhang Jiayu said loudly to Li Yuqin, "Pengpeng is only 6 years old now. Isn't it a little early for you to think about his marriage now? It will take at least 20 years. You are thinking about your mother's house so long in advance. Do you have any shame?"
"So what? Don't we have to prepare in advance?" Li Yuqin replied unwillingly, "Besides, Jialiang should have gotten more. Mom always split it equally before, and I tolerated it. But this time, I can't tolerate the house!"
