They were going to have Xu Ningyan's family cook for her, but after hearing that she had already eaten at the commune, they decided to leave her dinner there.
Seeing that there were no people around, he asked about Xu Ningyan's treatment.
Xu Ningyan mumbled a few words, saying that she was finally relieved to hear that her health had completely recovered.
The captain then remembered to ask, "Didn't you just get back? You should rest for a few more days. Even if you were worried about us, you could have just sent someone back with a message. Did you really have to come back in person? Aren't you afraid of disrupting our work?"
Xu Ningyan then explained her purpose, saying that she had already sold her job and would be going to the capital soon.
She came back this time to deal with the small courtyard she shared with Jiang Zhiyuan.
The brigade leader and the brigade secretary exchanged a glance.
You should know that the small courtyard had a main house and a yard, and it was all made of solid materials.
Gu Zhiyuan and Xu Ningyan paid for it, and they had people help with the construction. How could they not know?
Especially since there's some furniture inside, like pots and pans, Xu Ningyan probably won't take those with him. If he really wants to sell, he'll definitely sell the house along with it.
In modern terms, this means you can move in immediately with just your bags.
Both of them were quite tempted.
Although the brigade secretary's family also lacked housing before, that was because Aunt Xie had passed away.
Her family is related to the brigade secretary, so naturally the house should be taken back.
After all, although Xiong Mingxia is Aunt Xie's daughter, her surname is Xiong, not Xu, so she can't inherit the house no matter what.
Furthermore, although Xiong Mingxia was unaware that Aunt Xie had poisoned Xu Ningyan, she was still Aunt Xie's child and could not avoid being implicated.
All of Aunt Xie's private savings went to Xiong Mingxia.
However, Xiong Mingxia did not receive a single penny of Xu Changfeng's compensation.
The brigade secretary's grandson was adopted by Xu Changfeng, and the pension and house were naturally registered under that child's name as well.
Although everyone had their own ideas, the two families that had originally intended to get involved with Xu Changfeng were terrified after witnessing Aunt Xie's poisoning and being questioned. They avoided him like the plague and dared not associate with him at all.
Especially since Xu Changfeng is still a martyr, Aunt Xie is still burdened with the crime of poisoning the children of a martyr. At this stage, reputation is very important!
All the qualified people backed out, and in the end, the clan held a meeting. Several respected elders said that they couldn't let Xu Changfeng's branch of the family line die out.
The brigade secretary was naturally tempted, but as the brigade secretary, there were some things he couldn't say on his own initiative.
He didn't think that Aunt Xie's crime could implicate the child. After all, Xu Changfeng was still a martyr, and as long as he was buried in the martyrs' cemetery, the child who was adopted by him would be fine.
He certainly wouldn't tell anyone this, coldly watching everyone being afraid of this and that, and not daring to step forward when there were benefits to be had.
As he had predicted, things turned out exactly as he had expected. In the end, the clan had no choice but to force him to give one of his children to Xu Changfeng, saying that since his family had many children, there would be no loss in giving one to Xu Changfeng.
He also stated that as long as one child is adopted by Xu Changfeng, the Xu family's house and Xu Changfeng's pension will belong to the child.
The brigade secretary then reluctantly, almost as if forced, pushed his grandson forward to take his place.
Because the grandson was still young, his parents and brothers moved to the house where Aunt Xie used to live, so the brigade leader's family could have more room.
These are things that others might not know, but even the brigade leader could see them.
However, the two had worked together for many years and had always cooperated well, so the brigade leader did not expose them. Instead, he helped the brigade secretary cover it up.
After this incident, the brigade secretary will definitely not fight with the brigade leader for the house.
The two exchanged a glance and understood each other's thoughts.
You should know that the youngest son of the brigade leader was born late in life, and he was only a few years older than his grandson Tiezhu. They were about to get married.
The family already had limited space, and before, they had to share a room with several nephews because there was simply not enough room.
After Xu Ningyan was poisoned and taken to Beijing, the brigade leader's family had another child, so there was even less room for them.
Previously, she had her youngest son move to Xu Ningyan's courtyard and live in the room that Gu Zhiyuan used to live in. One reason was to have him help look after the house, as it wouldn't break down easily if someone lived there. The other reason was also because she felt sorry for her youngest son.
Upon hearing Xu Ningyan's words, the brigade leader immediately expressed his desire to buy the small courtyard from Xu Ningyan.
It will be used for my youngest son's wedding.
Xu Ningyan's original plan was to sell the house to the brigade leader's family, so she had no objections.
The brigade leader knew exactly how much the house cost to build, not to mention the furniture and various daily necessities inside. Except for Xu Ningyan's clothes and bedding, everything else would be left behind.
The brigade leader wasn't one to take advantage of others, so he eventually bought the house for a discount of 100 yuan.
Gu Zhiyuan spent over fifty yuan to renovate the house. Xu Ningyan also spent money to renovate it herself. In addition, there are two sets of furniture and two pots in the kitchen, which will cost twenty or thirty yuan, and you need to get a receipt!
This hundred yuan is already a discount from Xu Ningyan.
The brigade leader didn't even have time to go home to get the money, fearing something might happen.
He went straight to the brigade accountant and gave Xu Ningyan 100 yuan, promising to go home and get more money later.
After receiving the money, and with the brigade secretary acting as an intermediary, a contract was immediately written.
The brigade accountant, who was standing nearby, simply found the book containing the collective's homestead land, wrote and drew on it, and directly transferred the small courtyard to the brigade leader's name.
Its main focus is on high efficiency.
Only after completing the formalities did the team leader feel completely relieved.
Then they talked about Xu Ningyan's work points, grain, and private plot of land this year.
When Xu Ningyan went to work in the county town and became a permanent employee, her household registration and food ration records were transferred with her.
However, because she was affiliated with the supply and marketing cooperative between the Tuanjie Brigade and the county department store, the Tuanjie Brigade still calculated her work points and distributed grain as wages every year.
Although Xu Ningyan did not personally take charge this year, he still helped the brigade contact several units in the county.
Now, their united brigade supplies vegetables, eggs, and poultry to several units in the county.
Based on this, they had already checked the accounts, and this year's work points are worth more than last year's.
Moreover, they also received a note from the county machinery factory, meaning that their brigade will have its own tractor next spring.
This is the most surprising thing.
The biggest contributor here is naturally Xu Ningyan.
Therefore, Xu Ningyan will still have to contribute to this year's work points and grain allowance.
It just so happens that the year's work points and grain rations will be calculated in a few days, and since Xu Ningyan is back, we might as well move it to tomorrow.
Although Xu Ningyan didn't care much about these things, she wouldn't refuse what was rightfully hers.
