Chapter 36 Being Persuaded
But when An Songyu heard the news, she felt like God was helping her.
She was just thinking.
How can I take advantage of this last period of time to get my parents to spend the money that they have not yet used to pay off their mortgage?
Then continue to contract mulberry fish ponds and orchards.
After all, they want to get more compensation during the demolition.
We certainly cannot allow these mulberry fields, fish ponds, orchards, etc. to remain in the abandoned state they are in today.
Otherwise, it would be exactly the same as the demolition that Jiangcun had experienced.
These mulberry trees and fruit trees, which had been planted for at least ten years, all required compensation on an acre-by-acre basis.
Even so, the demolition office said that it was a benefit because they left the land idle and did not cut down the mulberry and fruit trees.
As for the fish pond, compensation was paid according to the price of the fish pond.
But there are no fish in it!
For an area like Shuncheng with abundant water resources, the compensation standard is really not high.
Although at that time, An Songyu had already settled in Nanshi and did not have a deep understanding of the situation in the village.
But when I visited my grandmother and uncle's house several times, I still heard a lot of sighs from everyone.
One of them, of course, is the village chief’s call this time.
An Songyu was not clear about the details at the time, but he knew that the village chief's decision to let everyone take the contract did not have very good results.
As for the orchards, mulberry fields, etc., they were all distributed to each family.
Naturally, it didn't succeed.
After all, nowadays every family in the village is busy with rural entertainment, so where does they have the time to take care of these things?
Although An Songyu's family contracted the Sangji Fish Pond, it seems to be doing very well this year.
It even seems that if we continue operating the business, we will be able to make a profit tomorrow.
But whether it is the initial investment or the human and material resources required for subsequent management, they are not small amounts.
Who in the village doesn’t know how Sangji Fish Pond makes money?
So far no one is willing to take over, so the pros and cons have already been weighed.
Although the orchard seems to be much easier to manage than the mulberry fish pond.
But there must be sales channels.
After the mulberry fish pond was abandoned in the village, orchard planting could not continue.
It's just that I'm fed up with those fruit vendors who keep lowering the purchase price.
I work hard all year round and take care of the fruit trees more carefully than I do my own children.
After a careful calculation, it turns out that it is only enough for food?
This is no different from losing money, who would be willing to take it?
An Songyu only learned these things after staying in the village for the entire summer vacation.
What she had to do now was to ask her parents to be the first to take action before other people in the village could react.
Otherwise, when her parents find out what the villagers think, they might also back down.
On this day, An Songyu, who had not been home for the entire summer vacation, immediately packed up and rushed to the city.
In the evening, as soon as Bi Lizhu entered the family area, she heard more than one acquaintance say that her second daughter had returned.
It was: "Lizhu, where did your Ayu go and what did he do?"
"Why do you look so much darker?"
"Yes, Lizhu, I heard that your Ali already has a partner, right?"
"She's so dark now, wouldn't her boyfriend be heartbroken if he knew about it?"
"Feeling sorry? I can't tell if I really feel sorry for him! Young guys nowadays..."
"You are such a fool... stop talking!"
The more Bi Lizhu listened, the more speechless she became.
Even though she had known that some people in the family quarters were not good at saying anything nice, she still felt extremely helpless.
But at the same time, she was worried from the bottom of her heart.
Since everyone said that her daughter had become much darker, it must be true.
After all, other people in the family quarters don’t know.
But as parents, even though An Songyu didn’t come back this summer, their family went to the village quite often.
It seems like it gets darker every time I see it?
Thinking of this, Bi Lizhu had already walked into the house amid the aroma of food.
Seeing her daughter, who originally had a fair and rosy complexion, suddenly turn into a healthy wheat color, Bi Lizhu fell silent.
"Mom, you're back?" An Songyu greeted her with a smile showing his white teeth.
Bi Lizhu twitched her lips slightly, and turned her head away, not wanting to look at it because it was a bit annoying.
He hummed softly as a response and hurried back to his room to put his things away.
When she came out again, she was able to look directly at her child's healthy skin color, which he had never had before.
After thinking about it, she asked tentatively: "Xiaoyu, are you done with the work in the village?"
"It's almost done!" An Songyu answered carefully while bringing the last of the soup to the table:
"The only fruit tree in the orchard is carambola in season."
“Dragon fruit is still being picked.”
“Mangoes are nearing the end of their season.”
"As for the leftover papayas and bananas, they can be consumed in the village."
“We don’t even need to arrange for people to pick them.”
"Just say hello to everyone in the village, and when someone passes by and sees a ripe one, they will pick it."
Although almost every household in the village grows this plant, the time at which it matures is not necessarily exactly the same.
After sharing it among themselves and with the addition of the old customers who still stayed in the village, it was almost completely consumed.
"Then do you want to go back to the city and live for a while?" Bi Lizhu's eyes lit up and she asked quickly.
"Go back to the city? That's not necessary!" An Songyu stopped talking.
She originally wanted to mention the village's call for contracting.
But thinking about the other people at home who are not here.
I've said it now, so I don't have to repeat it later.
The person in their family who was least supportive of his big career in Jiangcun was her mother.
Saying this out ahead of time is probably just making things difficult for myself.
Bi Lizhu didn't know what her daughter was thinking. She got a headache when she heard An Songyu's refusal.
Seeing that my daughter didn't feel anything at all.
Bi Lizhu really wanted to express her disgust out loud.
After thinking about it, she tactfully reminded him, "Ayu, you have been in the village all the time. Does your boyfriend have any objections?"
"Tzuyu?" An Songyu was confused for a moment, then she remembered that she didn't seem to have explained it to her family properly:
"He also came to Shuncheng after graduation."
"Tzuyu and I were classmates in high school."
"But his family is from the North."
"His parents are originally in the construction industry, and the company he joined during his internship is quite good."
"But the company is too big, and the projects are all over the place."
"When he went for internship, he was assigned to another city. But the scope of their branch company is not small, and when he actually starts working, he doesn't know where he will be assigned to."
“So when I graduated, I felt that this was not a good idea, so I just went back to Shuncheng.”
The more An Songyu spoke, the tighter Bi Lizhu's brows furrowed:
"He came back, wasn't he also influenced by you?"
"What?" An Songyu was helpless. Did her mother really think her influence was so great?
All right!
An Songyu also had to admit that when they returned to this time before, she and Jian Ziyu did stay in Nanshi.
She entered the First Hotel in South City.
And Jian Ziyu went to the company where he did his internship.
Then I started traveling all over the place.
Speaking of which, Jian Ziyu is more nostalgic than her.
An Songyu has worked in Nanshi Hotel for more than 20 years without leaving.
Of course, the treatment at Nanshi Hotel is one of the best in the whole of Nanshi, and it is also indeed influenced by Jian Ziyu.
But now, after she made up her mind to come back.
Jian Ziyu gave up the more stable job in a state-owned enterprise and returned to Shuncheng with her.
Although, the company he joined would one day be one of the Fortune 500.
Northland is where it was founded and where the company has been headquartered for many years.
But now it seems that the company where he interned is indeed not as good?
Even twenty years later.
When the entire industry was affected by various factors and began to shrink.
His current company is not comparable to the company he worked for during his internship.
Seeing her daughter's silence, Bi Lizhu said something earnest:
"Xiaoyu!"
"You are an adult now. Sometimes, when doing things, you can't just consider your own ideas!"
"Mom, what are you thinking about!" An Songyu quickly gathered her thoughts and gave a rough explanation:
"The company Tzuyu works for isn't bad at all!"
After all, twenty years later, the contraction of the industry and various other reasons led to a significant reduction in its size.
But the glory of these twenty years is real.
Moreover, to do it again...
Even if An Songyu doesn't have any big goals, he at least wants to retire early!
