Chapter 454: Ten Acres of Land
"My father is a hero, I am the son of a hero, and I want to be a hero in the future."
Li Cheng looked at Li Huan with sparkling eyes. His little heart had been instilled with the brightest hope. Qin Daqiang suddenly regretted his indifference just now. Jiang Meili did not teach the child bad things.
"Comrade Jiang Meili, Comrade Li Bing has found several water sources. If everything goes well, they should be able to return within three months."
Jiang Meili felt relieved. She had hope. She no longer had to face the dark night alone and no longer had to worry about her child having no one to love him.
The atmosphere became lively, and the little troublemaker directly raised his wine glass to toast Qin Daqiang. As his top leader, it was a rare honor in his life to be able to have a meal with him.
"Boy, you don't have to toast me now. I will toast you on your wedding day. Haha, I hope you can bear it."
"Well... please be merciful, Commander. I'll drink one glass today. I hope it will be enough for the ten glasses of wine we drank on our wedding day."
The little troublemaker drank it in one gulp, then waved to Chen Xiaoniu and introduced Qin Daqiang to her. Chen Xiaoniu also raised the cup in her hand and drank it in one gulp without hesitation.
"Okay, for the sake of your wife, I'll let you go this time, but you have to have two babies in three years, can you do it?"
The little troublemaker immediately stood at attention and saluted: "I can do it."
Chen Xiaoniu: “…” You idiot.
Boss Deng's wife was serving the dishes while listening to these people chatting and laughing. She couldn't help but feel envious. Her family was unreliable and her husband's family was small. She finally gave birth to a son, but he was born with a heart disease and basically had to stay in bed every day.
"Little troublemaker, stop drinking. I bought a piece of land and plan to build a large yard similar to a grocery store. If your father is free, ask him to bring people to help build the house."
"My second brother and second sister-in-law are so powerful. I will… no, please allow me to go back to see my father tomorrow."
Brigade Commander Qin had been glancing at the little troublemaker at first, but when he saw him change his words in time, he couldn't help wanting to laugh. However, for the sake of his dignity, he still nodded coldly. He agreed only for Cheng Qiao's sake.
"Wow…"
Li Cheng at the next table suddenly started crying, pointing at Han Tong with tearful eyes and his little finger. Han Tong put the bear paw back on his chopsticks with some embarrassment.
The boss's steamed bear paw was so delicious that she forgot there were a bunch of children at the table and ate their share without realizing it.
Cheng Li and Li Ming didn't say a word. They knew that this woman was protecting their mother. Guoqing quickly picked up a few pieces of food with chopsticks and gave them to Xiao Nuan and Ye Jing respectively. Of course, he would not forget Lele.
Li Chengren was small, and his eyes were fixed on the smallest piece of bear paw meat. He did not expect that it would be taken away by this greedy woman. He got anxious and started crying.
"I'm sorry, I'm greedy. I'll go up the mountain and catch a bear for you to play with later, okay?"
Li Cheng: “…” What crazy things is this woman talking about?
When Han Tong saw that Li Cheng had forgotten to cry because he was looking at him, he quickly put the bear paw in his bowl with an embarrassed look on his face. Jiang Meili couldn't help but laugh, and she was so envious of Cheng Qiao for having such a friend.
After three rounds of drinks, it was time for everyone to go home. Jiang Meili reluctantly entrusted Li Cheng to Li's mother and walked quickly to her own home. Tomorrow would be another chaotic day.
The little troublemaker finally got married, and the ugly bride met her parents-in-law. When Chen Xiaoniu saw the big brick and tile house of the little troublemaker's family, which was not worse than her own home, her uneasy heart settled down.
A few days after the little troublemaker got married, Yang Jun appeared with the villagers on the outskirts of the garrison. Someone had already drawn a line here, and the entire ten acres of land belonged to Cheng Qiao.
That was an open space of more than 6,000 square meters. At the beginning, there were only some carts or tricycles parked here. It was deserted and very desolate.
But since the reform and opening up, the population here has gradually increased, and it has gradually become a bulk market where people come here to buy, sell, or exchange things.
Now these people are looking at the cordon and talking about who bought this land so generously. Will they be unable to come here to do business in the future?
The answer is no. Cheng Qiao has discussed with Li Huan and others that they will build this place into a family farm and engage in animal husbandry and planting.
In addition, in the front area close to the road, we built several large rooms just like the Chuncheng Grocery Store, which can be used as a small shop and stalls, and can also be rented out.
Lele raised her hand. She wanted to rent her second sister-in-law’s store, a business she was familiar with.
"Le Le, your school provides job placement, why don't you go to work? It would be great to be a teacher."
Jiang Meili was a little confused. She had a stable job with guaranteed employment, but he insisted on being a self-employed individual. What kind of logic was that?
"Sister-in-law, the school is far from here, and the job placement here is not guaranteed. My elder brother and you are here, and my husband is here too. If I have to choose, of course I have to give up."
"LeLe, can I do this with you?"
"Sure, I was planning to do this with you, otherwise I can't do it alone."
My second sister-in-law's grocery store in Chuncheng already hired four sales clerks, and at that time, my mother and Xuhui's grandmother also helped, and I sometimes had to help too, so it was definitely not possible for one person to do it.
"Great, from now on, no matter whether we make a profit or a loss, we'll each take half."
The little troublemaker looked at his newly-wed wife with amusement. How could he lose money doing business under his second brother and his wife? Look at Brother Skinny Monkey and the others, they were already wearing suits and ties.
Yang Jun immediately organized the villagers to build houses. Cheng Qiao did not waste any time and took out the renderings that he and Xiao Nuan had discussed. Yang Jun shook his head after seeing them.
How much money will it cost to build this? Not to mention other things, just the outer perimeter of the ten acres of land needs to be surrounded by a wall, and it has to be two meters high. This amount of money is not a small amount.
"Uncle Yang, the first step is to build the canteen and the grocery store so that Lele and the little girl can start working first. The second step is to build the fence, and the third step will be done after the previous ones are completed."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you say."
Yang Jun agreed happily. Cheng Qiao is the God of Wealth in their family. Their family has gone from nothing to something, and then to a well-off life, all thanks to this girl.
Yang Jun was very quick and immediately went to the brick and tile factory to order bricks and tiles, and to the cement factory to order cement. These factories originally did not have very good business, but now that they had large orders, they immediately started working overtime.
When the government department received the news, they rushed to the site for a visit. As soon as they arrived at the construction site, they saw a thriving work scene with dozens of villagers wearing safety helmets working diligently.
Trucks drove up one after another, loaded with cement, red bricks, yellow sand, gravel and steel bars. Every truck driver had a smile on his face, as this month's bonus had been secured.
