Chapter 574: Going back to my hometown to build a house

Although it is just a simple small shop, his craftsmanship is good and he welcomes all kinds of cars, from bicycles and motorcycles to cars and trucks. He can handle them all.

But because the shop is too simple, it usually focuses on repairing bicycles.

Even so, the monthly income is higher than that at the canning factory, and it is enough to provide food and drink for a family of three.

After receiving Dai Qing's call, Juanzi was so happy that she directly invited her to her home for dinner.

When Dai Qing arrived with the gifts, Juanzi had already prepared a table of dishes.

"Xiaoqing, you are finally back. If you don't come back, your son won't recognize you anymore."

Juanzi took Dai Qing's hand and looked her up and down. "It's been almost two years since we last met. You've become more and more beautiful. On the other hand, I have wrinkles on my face."

Listening to Juanzi's complaints, Dai Qing chuckled.

"You are not old at all, you just don't like to dress up as much as before. Who told you to only have your husband and son in your eyes?"

Being a good wife and mother also comes at a price. Juanzi changed completely after she upgraded from a girl who loved dressing up to a wife and mother.

For this reason, Aunt Zhang has lamented more than once that one does not know how expensive food and daily necessities are until one experiences it personally, and without anyone reminding her, one learns to be thrifty.

Fortunately, although Juanzi's clothes were much more simple than before, there was light in her eyes and happiness on her face, which was enough to prove that Ding Yong had not let her suffer any injustice.

While the two were talking, Ding Yong opened the door and came in. Seeing Dai Qing, he smiled brightly.

"Juanzi told me this morning that you are back. Our hometown has changed a lot in the past two years. Let Juanzi accompany you around during this time."

As they talked, several people sat around the dining table. Dai Qing turned to look at Juanzi, "Where's my son? Isn't he coming back for lunch?"

"The kid is in daycare. I drop him off in the morning and pick him up in the evening."

They did not follow the rule of not talking while eating, and they talked while eating, and the atmosphere was just right.

"I thought you would never come back from the capital." Juanzi picked up a piece of fish for her and glared at her.

"How is that possible? This is my hometown after all, and I have to come back from time to time. However, I came back for something this time. I bought a small yard in the suburbs. I heard that the municipal government plans to demolish it. According to the demolition policy, you can add up to three floors. Of course, I can't miss the subsidy. I plan to add two floors before the demolition to increase my retirement benefits."

Hearing this, Juanzi's eyes lit up.

"That would be great. I can rent out the houses I got and live off the rent. I can also comfortably support myself in my old age."

The benefits of the demolition of their old community have already been enjoyed. Anyone who bought a property before has become wealthy, whether in terms of house or money.

Only those who did not choose to buy out were compensated resettlement fees by the government out of humanitarian considerations; the rest received nothing.

After the three of them finished their meal, Ding Yong took over the dishwashing job so that the two sisters could have a good talk.

Juanzi took Dai Qing into her room, held her hand, and looked at her seriously.

"We have grown up in the blink of an eye. Are you really not going to consider personal problems anymore?"

"You are my good sister, why don't you understand my attitude?"

Dai Qing looked at her expectant eyes and patted her shoulder.

"Don't worry about me anymore. I'm living well on my own. I will work hard to keep fit and live a decent life in my old age."

Since she has decided to remain single, age has nothing to do with her. No matter what, she will never marry just any man just to take care of her in her old age.

"As expected, you still have a mind as strong as steel. This is the last time I will advise you, I won't do it again. If you have any problems, just come to me. Although I can't help you with major problems, I can still take care of you. Besides, you are the godmother of my Ding Xiangyang, I will definitely not let you be lonely in your old age."

Juanzi sighed, and she had given up completely. It was also because her sisters were too outstanding that many men were not in her eyes.

When my grandmother talked about Dai Qing, she often sighed that when a person is too capable, his vision will involuntarily be raised, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

But she didn't agree. Xiaoqing's friends were all very capable, and she never seemed to favor any of them.

Forget it, everyone has their own destiny. Xiaoqing might be the chosen one and devote her whole life to her career as a fortune teller.

"Don't talk about me. How are you three? If you need any help, just tell me. Don't be polite to me." Ding Yong is now a self-employed person, but he still has some ideas on how to expand his business.

"Our family is like this. It's impossible to be rich. We can only make do with our daily lives. You know, I don't have any big ambitions. As long as Ding Yong treats me well, I don't care if I have to eat coarse food. It's just that he's under too much pressure, and I can't bear it."

Juanzi chuckled. Although Ding Yong earned more than in the factory, he had to stay in the store all day, which was very hard. Because she was taking care of the children, she had never found a suitable job. The three of them depended on Ding Yong alone, and she would occasionally feel anxious.

"The plain and simple is the real thing, too much fancy won't last long." Listening to Juanzi's tone, Dai Qingan comforted her. "I think Ding Yong is very capable, and he will definitely get better and better in the future."

Once you step out of the state-owned factory, you enter society. Once your mind opens up, you will grow.

"I hope so. I can't help him." Juanzi sighed. Living at home is really not easy.

After leaving Juanzi's house, Dai Qing looked at the familiar environment around her. The economy was developing more and more rapidly, and the number of cars would increase day by day. If Ding Yong could open a car wash, his future would be bright.

Moreover, although Ding Yong is silent, he may have some ideas. As long as he gathers enough determination and courage, he can move forward.

The next day, Dai Qing called Cheng Hao directly to ask about the house issue?

Cheng Hao happened to be in the company, and the two of them agreed to meet at the cafe downstairs.

Dai Qing took a taxi and rushed all the way to the East Development Zone. Since the commercial hotels and office buildings here were completed and put into use, a business circle and a gathering place for white-collar workers have been formed here.

Everyone is dressed in suits and comes and goes in a hurry. Apart from the cleaners, it is rare to see people strolling around here.

After entering the cafe, Dai Qing found a seat by the window, ordered a latte, and waited for Cheng Hao to come over.

After a while, Cheng Hao came in wearing a dark blue suit, sat opposite Dai Qing, and smiled gently.

"Sorry for the wait."

"No, I just got here too. What do you want to drink?"

"American, thank you."

In the blink of an eye, the two hadn't seen each other for two years.

Cheng Hao's company has grown bigger and bigger, expanding from clothing to other fields, contributing to the city's tax revenue. Last year, he was awarded the title of Outstanding Young Entrepreneur.
