When he got up in the morning, Lu Xiaotang took Wang Erquan and Grandpa Wang to Shitou Village. Grandpa Qi did not go because he wanted to braise the meat at home.
The family was just about to have breakfast when the three of them drove back.
Lu Xiaotang and Xu Ning said, "It's already been agreed. Uncle Shi agreed to sell the land to us. When we open the factory, we will let him and his wife help guard the gate."
Xu Ning was surprised and asked, "So smooth? Didn't he not want to sell it?"
Grandpa Wang sighed, "Lao Shi is a good man, but he has a stubborn temper. That piece of land was passed down from his ancestors.
In the past few years, several families in the village wanted to grab the land. If he hadn't been so tough, the land would have long been owned by someone else.
Xiaotang told him that he wanted to open a dim sum factory and provide jobs for veterans. He agreed without hesitation and offered a very low price. ”
"Has he no children?"
“There was a daughter who was already married, living in the village next door to them. When we went there, her son-in-law was bringing her some food.
When he heard that we wanted to buy that land, he advised him to sell it, so that some malicious people in the village would not keep eyeing it. ”
Grandpa Qi sighed, "In the countryside, if you don't have a son, no matter how capable you are, there will always be people who will bully you."
Xu Ning agreed with this statement. Not to mention now, even in a few decades, this kind of custom will still be seen everywhere in remote rural areas.
"Grandpa Wang, can you ask the people who helped us clean up the house a while ago if they have time? I plan to start building it now."
Lu Xiaotang finished the steamed bun in his hand and said, "Grandpa Wang, let Wang Erquan go with you and watch over the house while it is being built."
Wang Erquan asked: "Captain, sister-in-law, how do we build that house?"
Xu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Find the person first. I'll go there tomorrow and draw a blueprint for you."
After dinner, Xu Ning returned to his room and took out two bags of milk powder. "Xiufen, give these two bags of milk powder to Xiaoya. She is too thin. Feed her once every morning and evening.
I'm going to Niupitang's grandparents' house today. I'll let Grandma Wang take you to see the house over there later.
The beds and furniture had already been made, and the kitchen was stocked with pots and pans.
This place is quite far from the shop, and it will be inconvenient for you to run back and forth when it gets busy.
You and your family can start a fire over there, and I will send you food. When you move over, just take the quilt you are covering yourself with now. ”
Sun Xiufen's eyes were red. Ever since she married Wang Erquan, her family members had less contact with her.
Some people in the village who were jealous of her often mocked her, saying that she married a disabled man just for Wang Erquan's pension, and that how would she live after the money was gone?
She never took what those people said to heart. If some of them said something unpleasant, she would just scold them. They did not touch a single cent of Wang Erquan's pension.
After they got married, they separated. She and Wang Er both went to the fields to earn work points, and they worked no less than others.
Although Wang Erquan only had one arm and it was not very convenient for him to work, the team leader and the village chief did not dare to make things difficult for him. When they assigned him work, they always assigned him the work that he could do.
When he retired and returned, Lu Xiaotang asked the army to send an official letter to their county armed forces department, saying that he was a hero and asking the county armed forces department to take good care of him and not let the hero who had contributed to the country feel disheartened.
Sun Xiufen wiped her tears and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry! I will work hard and take good care of the clothing store for you."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Your brother Lu told me that you two are both very capable. I feel relieved to leave the clothing store to you."
The two were laughing and talking in the yard, and Niupitang began to urge her, "Mom, hurry up, we have to go back to see grandpa and grandma."
"Xiu Fen, we'll leave first! You can go around with Grandma Wang if you have nothing to do later."
"I see, sister-in-law, go quickly. I have made an appointment with Grandma Wang. We will go to the square to find Xiao Mo and learn how to sell clothes from him."
Lu Xiaotang was taking a day off today, so he drove his wife and children back to the compound. Lu's mother and Lu Xiaoran were drying quilts in the yard.
Niupipitang climbed down from the car and ran towards her, "Grandma, my good grandson is back!"
Tangtang couldn't run as fast as her two brothers. Seeing her two brothers holding grandma's legs, she had no place to hold them.
Then she turned to her aunt and asked with a smile showing her small teeth, "Aunt, do you miss your niece?"
Lu Xiaoran picked her up and said, "Of course I did. Auntie likes Tangtang the most. I even bought you your favorite flower rice balls today."
When Niu Niu and Pi Pi heard this, they quickly let go of their grandmother's legs and ran over to ask, "Aunt, do you remember what we brothers like to eat?"
Mother Lu was about to hug her grandson and kiss him...
