"The county leaders think our supply and marketing cooperative's proposal is very good and want to promote it in all units in the county," Liu Gang replied.
Now everyone understood, but Li Xu still had a question, "Uncle Liu, many units simply can't come up with the funds to build houses. Even if they knew this method, what would be the point?"
Liu Gang chuckled, "It's okay if they can't come up with the money. We can ask the employees to pay the full amount, and then the company will apply for the building site and handle the formalities."
"Huh?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "The company can even not spend a penny?"
"Yes, the county leaders felt that since so many people lacked housing, they simply relaxed the conditions. As long as they could come up with the money, they could build as much as they wanted."
Everyone was overjoyed and praised the county leaders, saying that they were wise.
Then the old masters all said that they should build two more sets to give to their children at home, and even Liu Gang had the same idea.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, like in previous Chinese New Year holidays, the company let people off work early.
When they returned home, they saw Li Wenbai playing with firecrackers in the yard with his younger brothers and sisters. Li Xu and his wife reminded them not to blow themselves up and went into the house to help with the work.
After everyone came back from get off work and worked together to finish the work, while eating melon seeds and peanuts and waiting for dinner, Li Xu talked about building the house.
After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and Li Jiakang even showed a smug expression, "Second Brother, a few days ago I said this would definitely work. Do you believe it this time?"
Without waiting for Li Xu to reply, he continued to ask, "Guilan, did you let the children sleep during the day?"
Hu Guilan nodded. "Yes, but they didn't sleep for long, only one or two hours."
"That's fine, as long as we get some sleep." Li Jiakang then said with emotion, "Xiao Qiang and Gou Zi have been looking forward to this for so many years, and now it's finally happening."
Li Qiang, Sun Yizhui and others have been working in the city for more than ten years and have always rented houses. It can be said that their biggest wish is to have a house of their own.
Everyone in the Li family was quite aware of this matter, so upon hearing this, they all echoed, "If my aunt and the others knew about this, they would probably be so happy that they wouldn't be able to sleep."
"Not only can't I sleep, I think I can cry with joy."
As everyone was talking, Li Chen suddenly said, "Dad, Mom, I want to build a house too."
Hearing this, the room instantly became quiet.
Li Jiakang and his wife looked at each other, and then Sun Xiu said, "Even if you don't mention it, I will. You two sit down for a while. We are going to discuss something and will be back soon."
After saying that, she dragged Li Jiakang out.
Everyone knew what they had gone out to discuss, so for a moment, there was no sound in the room except the sounds of peeling peanuts and cracking melon seeds.
It was a long time before the old couple came in. Sun Xiu was holding a stack of banknotes and some paper and pen in her hand.
Returning to the stool, Li Jiakang said in a deep voice, "Xiaomei already has her own house, and the second and third sons are also planning to build houses. In this case, let's take advantage of today to decide the ownership of this old house to avoid trouble in the future.
We, the old couple, will be taken care of by your eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future. Is it okay with you to give this old house to them?"
"No problem." Li Xu and others answered at the same time.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's talk about compensation. This..."
Before Li Jiakang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Mei and Li Xu, "Dad, forget about my compensation. You can keep that little money for yourselves."
"Dad, Mom, you both know that I have a grain business outside, so I don't need this little money."
Seeing the two of them say this, Sun Xiu waved his hand and said, "Although you have money, I can't always let you suffer losses. You must take this money."
Without waiting for Li Xu and the others to respond, she continued, "Third Brother, we originally thought of leaving you a room in the future, but now it seems that we won't need it. So let's just do it according to our original agreement. Is that okay with you?"
Everyone knows that this refers to Li Chen’s agreement not to divide the family property.
Li Chen naturally had no objection.
His daughter-in-law Zhou Miao had known about this for a long time and did not show any dissatisfaction.
Sun Xiu turned to look at Li Mei and Li Xu. "We've lived in this house for many years, so we won't compensate you too much. Calculated based on one room, I'll give you two one hundred each. Is that okay?"
Seeing her firm attitude, Li Xu and the others could only respond, "No problem."
"Now Xiaoju is the only one left at home. Whether she will find a husband or get married in the future is still uncertain. We are worried that we won't have another chance to build a house, so we decided to build her one now. Of course, it won't be big, just five rooms will be fine.
If she finds a husband, the house will be hers to live in. If she gets married, the house will be her dowry. What do you think about this?"
"Forget five. If you're going to build one, build it better. Build seven, and I'll pay for the remaining two."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Mei rolled her eyes at Li Xu and said, "Why do you have to pay for everything? I also want to pay. How about this, we each have one."
"I'll contribute too." Li Ping interrupted.
Seeing that all three of them wanted to contribute, Li Chen had no choice but to contribute as well.
Li Ju shook her head repeatedly, "You don't have to pay, I have money in my pocket, just pay for it yourself."
Li Jiakang thought about it and finally made the decision, "Stop arguing. Since you all want to build a big one for Xiaoju, then let's build it. We old couple will pay for it."
No one could argue with him, so they could only say that they would wait until Li Ju's house was completed and then put all the furniture in it.
Li Mei then wrote six housing division agreements, and everyone signed and fingerprinted them. Each family took one, and the matter was settled.
