Chapter 98 Preparing for Separation
Now that you have money, what do you want to do?
Gao Mingcheng wants to do a lot of things, but the most important thing is to find a suitable residential land and build a house.
In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng spent money to buy someone else's old house, but houses in rural areas are sold together with the foundation, because the foundation alone is worthless and no one will buy it.
He had carefully studied it in his life. If you like the foundation of a production team, you don't need to spend money to buy it. After you have chosen the foundation, you can notify the villagers, tell them that you want to build a house here, and then ask them to sign their consent.
As long as 60% of the people in the village sign and agree, you can take over the land.
Of course, if you want to go more smoothly, you have to build good relationships with the people in the village committee.
However, in order to obtain the homestead, two things are needed: one is the separated household registration, and the other is the marriage certificate.
Gao Mingcheng wanted to marry Xuanyuemei by the end of this year, but they were both under the age limit and could not get a marriage certificate.
This is one thing missing, so you have to use your connections. Fortunately, in 1986, they were poor and many people couldn't afford to build houses, so the production team had a lot of land, which made things easier.
After spending several days, Gao Mingcheng selected a piece of residential land.
In his previous life, he built the house in the old village, which is near where his grandmother and her family live now, but in this life, he plans to build the house farther away from the old village.
Niuweiling is far away from the old village and close to the largest reservoir in the village. It will be very convenient to go hunting in the mountains, make honey and fish in the water!
After selecting the foundation, Gao Mingcheng began to prepare to build the house.
The two most important building materials for building a house are wood and bricks. Fir is the best wood, and as for bricks... you can choose to make them yourself, or you can choose to buy them.
In his previous life, most villagers chose to make their own bricks when building houses because this could save a lot of money, but in this life, Gao Mingcheng chose to buy bricks.
There are brick factories and tile factories in the town, county, and even the neighboring county. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can easily get these things and build a house as quickly as possible.
Early in the morning of that day, Gao Mingcheng took an axe and went into the mountains to chop trees.
Fir trees are expensive. If you buy them, it would cost about a thousand yuan to build a house. But there are trees all over the mountain, so who would spend money to buy them?
Anyway, there are no drones to monitor the situation in the mountains and forests at the moment, so as long as Gao Mingcheng is cutting down trees in the mountains, no one will know. So these few days, Gao Mingcheng has acted like Bald Qiang and started cutting down trees with an axe.
After cutting down the trees and removing the bark, you can leave them alone for the time being and carry them down the mountain when it’s time to build the house.
After completing the preparations, Gao Mingcheng went to discuss the division of the family business with his parents.
Only after the family is divided can the household registration be separated.
The family had already prepared for his plan to split up the family. Gao Yuanjian smoked a cigarette and said, "Mother, uncle, we need to invite your two uncles to come and inform them about the split. How about this? You are free anyway, so go over tomorrow and inform your two uncles to come to our house for lunch the day after tomorrow."
When dividing the family property, it is appropriate to invite the mother's brothers to witness the division.
Gao Mingcheng agreed and prepared to make the trip tomorrow. He has two uncles, but for some reasons, they rarely interact with each other.
Luo Xiaohua sat aside and didn't say anything at first, but then he said awkwardly: "Just invite your uncle Cheng to come."
Gao Yuanjian glared at her and said, "If Shimen's uncle doesn't come, then this branch family will be gossiped about. Mingcheng, don't listen to your mother, invite both uncles over!"
Of course Gao Mingcheng would not miss any one and nodded in agreement.
Luo Xiaohua was still somewhat dissatisfied, his face looked gloomy and ugly, he stared at a blade of grass on the ground, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Luo Xiaohua's life story is quite pitiful. Her family was actually a rich peasant family and lived a good life. However, her family gave birth to several daughters in a row. So after Luo Xiaohua was born, her family exchanged Luo Xiaohua with the son of another family, and both sides took turns raising her.
The reason why that family gave their son away was, firstly, that family already had a son, and secondly, the family was poor. Luo Xiaohua's biological parents gave them a sum of money.
To exaggerate a little, Luo Xiaohua was originally a rich lady, but later she became a slave. The difference in living conditions was huge.
Luo Xiaohua didn't know her own life experience until she was four or five years old, because her biological parents killed the boy who was exchanged with her, so her adoptive parents cried at home.
But soon, Luo Xiaohua's parents gave birth to a son. That son was Luo Xiaohua's younger brother, and Gao Mingcheng's uncle.
However, there is very little interaction between the two sides.
The reason why Luo Xiaohua didn't want to notify her younger brother to come over was because when she was in her teens, her adoptive parents died and she and her brother could only beg near the village. Later, when she was so hungry that she couldn't bear it anymore, she went to find her biological parents, but each time she only got a little bit of food.
Therefore, Luo Xiaohua felt resentment towards his younger brother.
Gao Mingcheng didn't care what Luo Xiaohua thought. He just had to get the job done and not give others anything to complain about.
The next day, Gao Mingcheng set out to inform his two uncles.
Uncle Cheng lives in the next village, so it's quite close, but he married into the family, so his life is pretty ordinary.
Shimen Village is in another township, a bit far from Gaojia Village. It takes an ordinary person two or three hours to walk there, but Gao Mingcheng can run very fast.
My uncle's family in Shimen Village lives a good life. They contracted a large hilltop, which is planted with citrus, pomelo, grape and persimmon trees, and they can sell them for a fortune every year.
Of course, the children in Luo Xiaohua's family couldn't eat many bites of these things.
They are said to be siblings, but there is no affection between them.
Gao Mingcheng had little affection for his uncle, so he just informed him and his uncle responded, indicating that he knew. He did not invite his nephew Gao Mingcheng into the house to sit down, nor did he give him a cup of tea.
The two sides went through the motions and Gao Mingcheng left.
The next day at noon, the two uncles came as promised. Gao Yuanjian no longer worked on the railway because he was too old and couldn't handle it.
He recently started taking orders for steaming wine. He can earn more than a thousand yuan by helping people steam wine in autumn and winter.
He didn't go out to work today, but stayed at home to entertain the guests.
In the kitchen, there was half a pot of meat stewing in a large iron pot. The soup was boiling and the aroma of meat was overflowing.
The fire in the stove was burning very vigorously, and the firelight reflected on Gao Shufang's face, making her eyes shine.
The meat was delivered by her second brother in the morning. In addition to two wild rabbits, there was also a big male fish. Gao Shufang didn't care about her second brother's division of the family property. She only cared about today's meal.
Mmm, it must be delicious!
