A few days later, a bombshell exploded in Xiaowangzhuang, making the already excited villagers even more excited.
Li Longfei, who was usually very steady, was furious at home, regretting his actions to the core.
Two days ago, the village committee held a village meeting to announce that the state would soon develop Xiaowangzhuang and build a modern garden community.
A 160-square-meter plot of land can be exchanged for a 100-square-meter commercial apartment, or a demolition compensation of 40,000 yuan.
Once the document was issued, the relevant departments immediately measured the villagers' homesteads.
Wang Peng's house is 340 square meters in total. After the demolition, he can receive at least 80,000 yuan in compensation, or two 100-square-meter houses.
He bought the Li family's old house from Li Longfei for 10,000 yuan, and in the blink of an eye, the value increased eightfold.
Is this something a human being would do?
Li Longfei contacted Wang Peng immediately.
...
In the Wang family mansion, the father and son sat in the courtyard basking in the sun.
"Xiao Peng, if I give you 50,000 yuan in cash, will you give me the yard?" Li Longfei asked half-jokingly.
"Uncle, stop messing around, this is my home," Wang Peng said directly.
He's been laughing so hard these past few days that he's been waking up laughing seven or eight times a night.
I knew Xiaowangzhuang would be demolished, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Selling the house now would be an absolutely stupid thing to do.
The next thirty years will be a golden age for real estate. Once the garden communities are built, house prices will continue to rise.
However, demolition projects are not something that can be done overnight; the process of demolition, development, handover, and occupancy takes at least two to three years.
There are no long-term concerns for the time being, but immediate worries are looming. The most pressing issue right now is how to get through this harsh winter.
The three old main rooms were not able to keep out the cold. If you spent the winter in such a house, you would either die or be severely injured.
"Uncle Li, I'd like to rent another courtyard that can withstand the winter. Could you help me find out more?" Wang Peng said.
Li Longfei shook his head.
"Don't rent a place anymore. You and your siblings can stay at my house for now and get through this winter first."
"This time, only the land plot is being measured. The compensation for the house has not yet been determined. You still have to build your house."
"This is the first commercial housing development in our county. The housing compensation will be substantial. If you spend 100,000 to build a house, you will receive more than 100,000 in compensation."
Wang Peng nodded, agreeing that what he said was true.
However, he won't build a two-story building anymore; he'll just build a few brick houses, which will only cost a little over ten thousand yuan.
“Uncle Li, I won’t go to your house yet. I plan to raise money as soon as possible and build a few brick houses,” he said.
Li Longfei nodded, a wry smile on his face.
"Xiaopeng, you have such good judgment and luck. I'm impressed, I have to admit it."
"I've decided to start operating the video arcade as soon as possible. You'll handle the purchasing and human resources; I'll be responsible for finances and daily operations."
"I hope your vision and luck will make our business thrive."
Wang Peng was taken aback, but couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile. Old Li had finally given in.
The purchasing department can guarantee a say in the deal, and the personnel department can arrange for my second uncle and aunt to work in a video arcade and continue to earn high salaries.
Wang Peng's second uncle treated him like a second life, and giving him a high-paying job was also a way of repaying that kindness.
The father and son basked in the sun while discussing how to run a video arcade, such as how big a place to rent and what style of decoration to choose.
A disagreement quickly arose, and the father and son began to argue.
...
Wangcun.
Wang Song's wheat field has been planted.
Wang Song and Li Guifen went to Wangcun Junior High School to find their two daughters and brought them to the county town.
Then go to the first place to find Wang Cheng.
When the family of four saw Wang Cheng, their eyes widened in surprise.
Overnight, Wang Cheng became a city dweller. His tattered shoes and clothes disappeared, replaced by a denim outfit and Double Star sneakers.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Li Guifen pointed at the clothes on his body.
“Mom.” Wang Cheng scratched his head. “A classmate of mine is a friend of mine. He felt sorry for me, so he picked out his brother’s old clothes and gave them to me.”
Speaking of this, he felt nauseous, recalling the disgusting experience of being asked to taste "organs" when he went into the woods with Zhang Qianqian last night.
"Second Brother," Wang Xia said obsequiously, "Your friend's sisters don't wear these clothes either, right? Could you pick up a couple for me?"
“He has no sisters.” Wang Cheng hurriedly shook his head, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.
"Second brother, you're really capable." Li Guifen said with great pride.
In her view, being able to beg for food is a skill.
"Second brother, go and call Wang Peng over. I want to talk to him," Wang Song said in a deep voice.
Wang Cheng turned and headed towards the teaching building, feeling very puzzled. What had happened? Why were his parents looking for Wang Peng at the school?
He arrived at Class 1 and found Wang Peng was not there. He smiled and asked the student at the door, "Excuse me, is Wang Peng not here?"
The female student looked at the empty seat, stood up and called out, "Old Du, is Dapeng taking leave again?"
"He took the day off." Du Lei squinted. "You need something, kid? What do you want with him?"
These words were sarcastic, laced with provocation and contempt, and the students began to gossip.
Wang Cheng was displeased, but he forced a smile and asked, "Squad Leader Du, has he gone home?"
"Hmph!" Du Lei ignored him and opened his textbook to read.
Feeling awkward, Wang Cheng turned around and went down to the teaching building, taking his whole family to Xiaowangzhuang.
His girlfriend, Zhang Qianqian, once said that Wang Peng lived in Xiaowangzhuang.
Up in the teaching building, Du Lei realized something was wrong and hurriedly went back to the classroom to write a leave request.
"Mengjiao, please give this leave slip to Teacher Chen, and let me borrow your bicycle again," he said.
Li Mengjiao opened her pencil case, put the leave slip inside, and handed him the bicycle keys.
"Lei Zi, what happened? Should I notify the homeroom teacher?" she asked.
