Chen Shuning hardly took any leave during the spring planting season. After all the seeds were planted, Chen Shuning was finally able to rest.
During this period, Chen Shuning went to the town's black market once a week on average to sell his goods.
During this period, Chen Jiandang sent a telegram to Chen Shuning, saying that Grandma Zhang in their courtyard wanted to sell her house, and the price she was asking for was not expensive, only 350 for three rooms.
Chen Shuning wired money home directly to his mother so she could buy the house.
Originally, Mr. and Mrs. Chen did not advocate buying so many houses, so they did not intend to tell Chen Shuning that someone in the yard was selling a house.
If it weren't for Chen Jiandang, that little spy, Chen Shuning might have missed those three rooms right in the third courtyard of her house.
Now that these three rooms have been purchased, the entire three-courtyard complex, the second courtyard, and the small side courtyard between the three courtyards all belong to Chen Shuning's family.
In addition to the three rooms in the courtyard of his house, He Chaoyang's friend also helped him buy a three-courtyard house in Zhuangyuan Lane.
Because the other party was He Chaoyang's childhood friend, and Chen Jiandang helped to look at the house, he also explained the appearance of the house to Chen Shuning over the phone.
So even though he hadn't seen the house in person, Chen Shuning immediately fell in love with it from Chen Jiandang's description.
The original homeowner's identity was somewhat sensitive. With the increasingly severe situation, the family spent money to pull strings to try and emigrate, so they were in a hurry to sell the house and weren't asking for a high price.
The price of 4,800 yuan was really not expensive, so even though she couldn't go back, Chen Shuning still wired the money to Chen Jiandang and asked him to help with the procedures to buy the house.
This money wasn't like the small amounts of money given to the family to buy a house; it was several thousand at once. Chen Shuning was also afraid that his parents would worry, so he didn't plan to tell his family about buying this house.
Therefore, the money was directly transferred to Chen Jiandang, and Chen Jiandang also helped her with all the paperwork.
However, thanks to the help of someone inside the housing bureau, although Chen Shuning himself was not present, the procedures were completed very smoothly, and from then on, Chen Shuning could be said to have his own property in this life.
Upon receiving the property certificate from Chen Jiandang, Chen Shuning quietly opened a bottle of red wine and secretly celebrated in her online space.
Ever since that first time, whenever He Chaoyang's friend had any news, Chen Shuning would wire money to Chen Jiandang, and then that little spy would help Chen Shuning with the paperwork.
In just six months, Chen Shuning had already displayed four property ownership certificates in his space.
Those property certificates became the driving force behind Chen Shuning's hard work. In addition to watches and textiles, the variety of goods Chen Shuning sold also increased.
From watches and vintage clothing to bedding, and even enamel mugs that she used to look down on, Chen Shuning would sell anything that could be exchanged for money.
It's already quite hot in Heilongjiang Province in July and August, but perhaps because of the heavy snowfall last winter, the crops in the fields are well-hydrated and don't need artificial irrigation yet.
So everyone had a lot of free time, and this was the time when wild vegetables were plentiful in the mountains. So the educated youth would often go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables when they had nothing to do.
Chen Shuning went along twice, but he either encountered wild boars or snakes. After several attempts, Chen Shuning finally realized that he was not meant to live in the mountains.
Those who had resigned themselves to their fate no longer ran up the mountain; they simply bought what they wanted with money or bartered with other goods.
In mid-August, the brigade leader, who had just returned from a meeting in town, received another notice that new educated youth were coming.
The old man, who had just returned from town, came straight to the educated youth compound without even going home.
Looking at the old house that was full of people and the backyard with only two empty rooms.
The old man's face was wrinkled like a walnut. In the front yard of the educated youth settlement, the male educated youth's room could still accommodate two people, although Liu Shumei and Yang Xiaohong had left.
But now there's Zhang Tingting. The place was already packed with people, and to be honest, the current number of people in the room is just right, so at most one more person can squeeze in.
Although Wang Chunni and Xu Laidi's room could still accommodate another person, he had promised the two girls when they renovated the house that they would pay for the repairs and that no one else would be allowed to stay there.
The small single rooms in the backyard were even more impossible. After the New Year, the renters all renewed their rents on their own initiative, and all of them paid for a whole year at once. As for Chen Shuning and Gu Xinyi's two rooms, it goes without saying that they were built directly by the educated youth themselves, so it was impossible to arrange for anyone to stay there.
What really angered the old woman was what the commune secretary said at the meeting: the number of new educated youth this year is even greater than last year. How is she supposed to arrange for all these people?
The anxious old man paced back and forth in the educated youth compound, trying to figure out where else he could build a house.
When Chen Shuning and his family built the house in the backyard, they had considered that people would come in the future, so the vegetable garden behind the house was directly connected to the backyard wall, which was exactly the size of a small vegetable garden, but not enough to build a house.
So the old man wandered around the backyard for a while and then went to wander around the front yard.
Finally, the old educated youth's private plot was selected, and a new private plot was allocated to them behind the cowshed. The vegetables that the old educated youth had already planted in the plot were also compensated accordingly.
So before the new educated youth arrived, houses were being built at the educated youth settlement in full swing.
This time, learning from past mistakes, instead of building small single rooms in the backyard, they built a large communal sleeping area like in the old house.
In the past two years, educated youth have only come and not left, and many villages are facing the problem of resettlement difficulties.
