In the past two years, everyone has been running back and forth like this. Every year, they return to Beijing to stay for two months to accompany Xia's father and others. Xia's father and others will also make time to get together in the village during the Chinese New Year.
Some of the families of the old professors in the village also came to the village under the pretext of going to the countryside.
The family lives together happily. Although life is a bit hard, everyone is happy as long as they can be together.
In recent years, more and more people have come here, and some people have even made plans for the village.
Residential areas, schools, hospitals, leisure areas, etc.
The orientation of each residential area is very particular.
People no longer build houses wherever there is vacant land, but have to choose a location according to the planned area.
Houses that are not in residential areas do not need to be demolished, as the houses will not be built all at once anyway.
Villagers will give priority to choosing residential land on the blueprint, and every piece of land with an owner will be marked.
When the villagers want to build a new house, they build it on their own land.
Although they are all adobe houses, they are no longer messy and there is a sense of neat beauty as soon as you enter the village.
Some young boys also made some wooden signs and inserted them at various intersections.
They gave a name to every alley and every area, and everyone found that it seemed more convenient since they had names.
"Wow, Xiuxiu, your village has changed so much." Zhao Tingting's family, Shangguan Jiao and her parents came to play with Song Jinxiu.
I was originally planning to come during the summer vacation, but Song Jinxiu went back to Beijing for the summer vacation, so I came back with Song Jinxiu after the summer vacation.
As for the children going to school, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter whether they go to school or not.
"Yes, in recent years, many people have moved to the countryside, and there are not enough houses, so we have to build more." Song Jinxiu said with a smile.
The adobe bricks are made by ourselves, and the stones and wood are available on the mountain, so the cost of building a house in the village is really not high, it just costs some labor.
The high costs are furniture and various daily necessities.
Song Jinxiu took them to a connected empty room, which was also recently built.
In recent years, the villagers have developed a enthusiasm for building houses.
They all wanted to see if the finished products would look as good as before if the houses in the village were built according to the blueprint.
So I would dry adobe bricks in my spare time and build houses when I had nothing to do.
Build an empty shell, and anyone who wants to live in it has to buy their own things.
This is a three-bedroom apartment and a two-bedroom apartment, just right for them to live in.
This time I plan to stay for two months, so it’s not appropriate to live in Song Jinxiu’s house all the time.
They originally thought that if it was inconvenient in the village, they would still live in the city.
Now that the village is so beautiful and there is a place to live, of course I chose to stay there.
There were only some simple furniture in the room, and because it was a new house, it looked a bit empty.
"The house is new and the furniture was made temporarily, so it's a bit shabby. Don't be disgusted! If you need anything else, just tell me.
There's a small supply and marketing cooperative in the village that sells some daily necessities." Song Jinxiu introduced it to them.
"Oh my God, this is great, very good. Thank you very much. I'm sorry to bother you." Zhao Tingting said happily.
The furniture just has no patterns, so it looks simple.
There are tables, chairs, beds, cabinets and even washstands. It can be said to be very complete.
As for quilts, since it is summer, you only need to prepare a straw mat and a thin blanket.
"I'm glad you like it." Song Jinxiu said with a smile. "Put your things away first, and then we'll come to my place for dinner."
"Okay, after we finish cleaning up, we'll invite you to come and try our cooking in a couple of days." Zhao Tingting said happily.
She grew up in Jing City and this was her first time living in the countryside. The last time she came to Yang City, she only stayed with Song Jinxiu for one day.
This time is different. I plan to stay for two months and experience rural life.
Da Hulu is called a village, but it looks a bit like a smaller version of a small town.
Supply and Marketing Cooperative: It has all the common items.
Furniture shop: Uncle Xue, give me a set of furniture.
Tailor Shop: Auntie, can you lend me the sewing machine? Here are the eggs.
Agricultural and Sideline Products Trading Center: Auntie, I picked two cucumbers for you. We have eaten all the tomatoes at home. I will go to your field to pick some later!
Small Items Processing Factory: Auntie, I don’t have time to sew shoe soles recently. Can you help me sew two pairs according to this size? This is the brown sugar I just bought. You must accept it.
Construction team: Uncle, I want to replace the roof this year. Can you call a few uncles to help me? Eat meat with big mouthfuls.
…………
As long as you have a need, there is a market in the village, which is much more lively than the town.
"The day after tomorrow is the village's special market day. You can go shopping around then." Song Jinxiu said to Zhao Tingting and the others.
Because villagers usually exchange things at their homes, some people who are unfamiliar or shy will feel embarrassed.
Some people who have just arrived don’t know what everyone has.
Therefore, the fifth, fifteenth and twenty-fifth day of every month are special market days in the village.
If you have something at home, you can set up a stall at the door and others who need it will come forward to buy or exchange it.
There is no fixed price, as long as both parties agree to the exchange.
In this way, newcomers will have a general idea of what each family has written.
Some people who are thin-skinned can also exchange supplies as much as they want during these few days.
"There's a market in your village?" Zhao Tingting asked in surprise. "Where is it?"
"You'll know if you go out for a walk the day after tomorrow!" Song Jinxiu kept it a secret.
"Ahhh!" Zhao Tingting stepped forward and prepared to strangle Song Jinxiu: "Why are you telling me now? Can't you just tell me the day after tomorrow?
You've piqued my curiosity, but you haven't given me the answer. Aren't you trying to kill me?"
Song Jinxiu quickly ran forward and avoided Zhao Tingting's clutches: "I did it on purpose, Lululu!!!"
Looking at two people in their thirties jumping around in front like little girls, there was no sense of incongruity at all.
Everyone just wanted to hold their foreheads.
Shangguan Jiao's mother frowned. This was too unbecoming.
But she also knew that times had changed and it was completely different from the education she had received since childhood.
Along the way, people greeted Song Jinxiu, and the group chatted and laughed until they arrived home soon.
"Wow, your house is really well built," Zhao Tingting praised. "It's much bigger than before."
"Of course we have to. There are so many people now, and the old house can no longer accommodate us." Song Jinxiu rolled her eyes at her.
There were two tables in the yard, and the food was on them. It was hot, so the food would not get cold easily.
It hasn't been this lively for many years and everyone is very excited.
Especially Zhao Tingting’s two sons, they have never experienced this kind of life.
He didn't mind that the four little kids were small and played with them enthusiastically.
Well, actually it was Little Radish Head who took them both out to play.
