The house in the future must be decorated according to her wishes, with her favorite decorations, floor tiles, and curtains in her favorite colors.
Unlike this house, which she acquired through a trade and wasn't her preferred style, this place could only be described as a place to stay.
But in the future, she, Su Xu, and their three babies will soon have their own house, a house that truly belongs to them and that they can make all the decisions for.
"I'll ask my sister-in-law and my mom if they want to live on the same floor as us." Liu Nian was hoping that Su Feng and Yun Mo could also live in the same neighborhood, so they could take walks together in the evenings.
However, Su Feng and Yun Mo don't know where their household registration will be in the future. Yun Mo will definitely be with Zhang Chengdong, while Su Feng is still in college and her household registration is in Beijing.
When Liu Nian told them about the house, Zhang Suzhen naturally raised her hand in agreement. "If we move into the city in the future, it will be more interesting to live close by. If someone across the street or upstairs or downstairs has something delicious to cook, we can just call out and come right away."
"Leave one for us too, it shouldn't be a problem to pool our money!"
Zhang Suzhen now has the confidence to work as the second-in-command in a cosmetics factory, earning a good income and having some savings.
Su Feng and Yun Mo planned to wait a few years and see how things developed. When the topic turned to the future, everyone's faces were filled with anticipation. "We don't know what the future will be like," they said.
"In the future, skyscrapers will rise from the ground, cars will fill the streets, everyone will have a phone in their hand, and whatever you want to eat can be delivered with a tap of your finger," Liu Nian said with a slight smile. "Anyway, the future will be good days."
"No tickets or anything like that?" Su Feng asked. "How did you know?"
Liu Nian tilted her head back and said, "I knew it! Just you wait! And something big is about to happen!"
Sure enough, six months later, something big happened! At the end of the year, news of reform and opening up came, especially in rural areas, where land was to be distributed to farmers!
This place is considered a pilot site, where reforms were first implemented.
Everyone's been talking about this lately.
"It's said that in the future, this land will be divided according to the population, and no matter how much or how much you cultivate, it will all belong to you!"
"No, no, we still have to pay grain tax, and the rest is ours, but we can be in charge of our own affairs, that's good!"
"So, do you think that if there are more people, the land will be allocated more? And the family will be wealthier? If that's the case, then it's more worthwhile to have more children!"
Several women chattered about having children, and Liu Nian listened from the side, thinking to herself, "If you want to have children, hurry up and have them. In a few years, it won't be the era where you can have as many as you want."
Liu Dafa and Liu Qiang presided over the land distribution. After calculating based on population and land area, they determined that each person would receive an average of 1.3 mu of land.
There's a trick to dividing the land like this. Some land has black soil with good geology, so crops grow a lot there. But some land is saline-alkali land, so it's practically barren.
To be fair, the village plans to draw lots, relying entirely on luck.
On the day of the lottery, the entire village turned out and gathered at the village committee, where Liu Dafa used a loudspeaker to maintain order.
"Send one representative from each household! Whoever's household is called, come here quickly to draw lots!"
It was the dead of winter at the end of the year, and the northwest wind was howling. Everyone was stamping their feet from the cold, and someone complained, "Hurry up, we're going to freeze to death!"
"Actually, it's not as good as before. Farming your own land costs money, right? Although you own the harvest, there's no guarantee of a guaranteed harvest regardless of drought or flood. At least the commune can provide you with food!"
The person who said this was Li Datong, a habitual slacker. He used to always dawdle at work, never wanting to do a proper job, since the grain distribution was based on population anyway, and working too much would only result in losses.
The young widow retorted directly, saying, "You're incredibly lazy, of course you want to just coast along? You don't even pull the weeds in front of your house." Then she nudged Liu Nian and said, "Am I right?"
Liu Nian didn't say anything, he just smiled, and the young widow snorted smugly.
The man, embarrassed by the young widow's words, was about to retort when he heard his name called out through a loudspeaker, "People from Li Datong's family are here to draw lots!"
Li Datong quickly raised his arm and said, "Coming!"
Walking onto the stage, Li Datong reached into the box and pulled out a piece of paper.
"Plot No. 3 in the Northwest Corner!"
He glanced at it, then threw the note on the ground. "I don't want it! Everyone knows the land in the northwest corner is saline-alkali soil, barren of everything! Why should I farm that land? Did you cheat?"
