Chapter 26
"Now that we're back, let's go to sleep. We'll be busy tomorrow."
It wasn't busy at all.
Places like theirs are all neighbors, and they are all very united. If something happens in your home today, it may be that something happens in my home tomorrow. So as long as they know there is something going on, every household will come and at least send one person to help, and this has formed a tacit understanding.
These little kids are actually a bit of a nuisance.
However, the two of them did not refute what Lin's father said. They washed their feet and went to bed early.
Just as he fell asleep, he suddenly heard the wind whistling outside. In less than a moment, heavy rain began to fall down. With the sound of rain falling on the ground, Lin Nanzhi fell asleep quickly.
At six o'clock in the morning, she heard the sound of Lin's father coming downstairs. She woke up in a daze, got dressed, and then woke up Lin Nanxun and went downstairs.
Father Lin was making a fire downstairs. Hearing the noise, he said, "Wash your face and steam some rice. Steam a little more. It's full."
Lin Nanzhi knew that Qiao's relocation banquet had to be prepared a lot and could not be sloppy, such as the stove had to be lit brightly before being brought to the new house. This was a bit superstitious, and people believed that there was always a Stove Prince in every home, so this was to tell the Stove Prince that he had moved, and to move him in with him, which also meant that the family would be prosperous from now on.
The rice must be steamed full, symbolizing roundness, fullness and prosperity.
After the rice was steamed, Lin Nanxun got up, and Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin also got up. The brother and sister took the red cloth and tied a small knot on all the things they needed to take to the new home.
At half past eight, people came to help one after another, but most of them went to help in the new house. However, as it was not yet time for the new house to be occupied, the door was still closed, so they built a shed on the open space at the door which was used for cooking.
Uncle Lin's family also came back and came to help. As the auspicious time of nine o'clock was approaching, the family and some newly arrived relatives came to the new house with their things.
We set off firecrackers while walking.
Whenever you bring something into the door, you have to say something auspicious.
The stove and rice go in first, then the ladder, which means rising step by step. The apple represents peace and safety. Raw rice, oil and new clothes represent having no worries about food and clothing. Oranges represent having your dreams come true. Candies represent sweetness. Some fish represent surplus every year. Wine represents longevity. An electronic scale represents satisfaction. A new broom represents a fresh start. Bowls and chopsticks represent good things come in pairs. A bucket filled with three-tenths of water represents prosperity. There is also a stack of red envelopes, which represents the visit of the God of Wealth. Finally, there are some new four-piece sets.
Afterwards, the whole family, including Lin Nanxuan and Xiao Qingqing, stepped over the small stove prepared at the door one by one, and then swept the house with new brooms to represent washing away the old and welcoming the new.
Qiao Qianyan was fine, and after that, we had dinner and warmed up the room, and that was it.
When all the things were brought into the house, people who had been waiting for a long time came in one after another, wanting to see what was inside.
When I walked in and saw the interior decoration, I couldn't help but sigh a few times. I ate some melon seeds while discussing the house with the people next to me.
Some couldn't help but ask Lin's father: "Grandpa, how much did you spend on this house?"
Father Lin knew they would ask, and he had already told them before, so he still said as before: "Everyone knows how much the house they built costs. Including the decoration, it's 460,000."
The people who did the work were all men from the village. It cost more than 200,000 yuan, close to 300,000 yuan, to build the bare house. The decoration was more expensive. Including the walls and furniture, the total cost of the house was 600,000 yuan.
Because the furniture we bought was the best and most expensive, and the tiles were also expensive.
"More than 400,000, that's not expensive."
Some people are calculating their family savings.
Most of the people in the village work outside, and only some of them have returned in recent years. Their families have some savings, and they have made a lot of money recently.
They took advantage of the good policies back then, and every household drew lots to allocate forests. Many families' forests were nearby.
Yes, although the forest is contracted, in fact it is purchased from the villagers. But it sounds bad to say it out loud so we say it is contracted.
The forest opposite the Lin family is very large, with more than thirty peaks on one mountain. It is the common property of several villages. In order to make the villagers rich and plant trees, there was a policy to allocate the forests, and the location and size of the forests were obtained by drawing lots.
The Lin family also has a forest of about 7-8 mu, and 4-5 mu of wasteland. The wasteland was reclaimed, but later on, Lin's mother could not grow so much by herself and left it all alone. As for the forest, because it is a pine forest, there is nothing except mushrooms every year. Not only can they not make money, but they also have to guard the forest by themselves and not let others cut it down indiscriminately.
Therefore, the prices of forests and wasteland are not expensive now. According to the current prices, each mu of forests is 1,500 yuan, and each mu of wasteland is 600 yuan. A wealthy family with seven or eight mu of forests and wasteland can earn more than 6,900 yuan, and a small family with one or two mu can also earn more than 6,900 yuan.
We have contracted a lot of land, but most of them are mountains and forests. We bought land because we could not grow greenhouses. The land is more expensive, at 100 yuan per square meter, 666.6*100\\u003d. We can earn nearly 70,000 yuan for one acre of land. Some people have even sold several acres of land. With the savings, we have several hundred thousand yuan.
"Well, grandpa, I heard that his aunt's embroidery is very valuable. Is it okay to do it like us?" an aunt asked.
"Of course, but what people want is quality. If you can do it like my mother, I definitely want it." Lin Nanzhi replied with a smile.
Neighbor Auntie: "..."
Do you want to hit people like this?
They really couldn't compare to Lin's mother's craftsmanship.
"Why do you talk like that, kid?"
Lin Nanzhi smiled, not caring, picked up the broom and turned around to go upstairs.
The staircase on the second floor is next to the restaurant and is a spiral staircase.
There are three rooms on the first floor. The master bedroom belongs to Lin's father, and one of them belongs to Lin Nanxun. A small balcony was specially built for him in the direction of the backyard. She is the only one living on the second floor, in the balcony room above Lin's father's room.
I took the broom and started from her room, cleaning it carefully one by one. As I was sweeping, I felt very tired and thought about buying a few sweeping robots.
Down below, people were cooking, visiting, and chatting. It was very lively. Lin Nanzhi walked out to take a look, then took a small stool and sat on the balcony of the small living room on the second floor. Bathed in the sunshine, he took out his mobile phone and started shopping online. He bought four of the latest models of sweeping robots, two vacuum cleaners, and two sets of cleaning tools.
Just after placing the order, she heard some noises. She pushed open the glass door and walked in, only to find the entire living room in a mess. The pillows were thrown on the floor, and the sofa cover and the blanket on the floor were all covered in black mud.
Several kids were rolling around on the sofa. I didn't know if they had just come back from playing in the mud, but their hands were covered in mud, which was all over the sofa.
Lin Nanzhi's face changed, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice.
