Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

"How can it be?

Don’t you see that all those things are going to be thrown away or donated?”

"what?

I thought these had to be moved upstairs too?"

"How can it be?

Even if I wanted to keep everything, it would be impossible for me to move everything in the yard upstairs."

"Exactly. Do you really think we don't know how to choose?"

"How could I not know?"

"That's right, aren't we just asking out of curiosity?"

"That's right. There are so many things in the house, and you two are the ones who are cleaning them up. We can't help much, so there are so many things that we don't count, right?

But now that we have found out everything, we can contact other people to help with the move."

"Okay, get in touch!

The sooner we move in, the sooner we can live in the building."

"Is that so? It's a pity for the small vegetable garden in our yard?"

"Mom, what's so sad about this?"

"That's right. You and my dad live alone in a house, and there are only two of us in the family. I don't think you can use a very large balcony. So, if you really want to grow some vegetables, can't you grow them on the balcony?"

"Yes!

Even if you just grow some green onions or leeks, that would be fine?

If all else fails, you can grow flowers on the balcony. Why bother with this little vegetable garden?"

"What do you know?

Are you just talking nonsense here?"

"That's right. Our vegetable garden is a great help to our family. If it weren't for it, our family..."

"I know, I know. How could we not know?"

"That's right. So far, most of the vegetables we eat at home are grown in this small vegetable garden. It solves a lot of problems."

"That's right. Why don't you calculate how much money you can save on food throughout the year?"

"That's right. Don't you even look at the current prices? Don't you have to spend money to buy an onion?"

"Don't mention it. I haven't really thought about it or calculated it."

"Really? In these years? Our family rarely buys vegetables, so I don't really know the prices."

"It's the same for our family. We really need to pay more attention to this aspect and calculate how much money we can spend on this in a year."

"Whether it counts or not, it's already like this. You will understand when you live at home in the future.

We old couple have no other choice but to provide you with free meals.”

"Oh!"

"It also lets you know that even though daily expenses may not seem like much, they actually add up to a small amount."

"Oh!"

Seeing that they didn't care, I didn't say anything more.

Yes, as life becomes better and better day by day, they no longer remember the hardships they suffered in the past.

Especially now that basically every family has only one child, that child is extremely precious.

The same goes for their own children. As elderly people, and elders of a generation, they will not say much.

Fortunately, they are all highly educated people and attach more importance to their children's education than I, as a grandmother, do.

To be honest, there is no need to worry about this, and there is no need to worry about the future of our children.

It’s because children nowadays not only have heavy academic workloads, but we can’t even help them with the interest classes they attend.

Since I can't help, I might as well just shut up and save myself from making things difficult for the kids.

Another thing is that children nowadays are much smarter than before. When it comes to educating children, it is better to form a united front to avoid any trouble later.

As for the matter of the old couple moving, it has reached the point where they have to move, otherwise they would just be too lazy to move.

Not to mention that I'm used to living in a bungalow, even living upstairs would be inconvenient.

But even so, the demolition notice has already come down, and there are ready-made houses, so why not move?

Can I live here forever without moving?

What are you thinking?

It’s better to move quickly, at least you still have the right to choose.

In addition, knowing the real estate situation in Beijing in the future, this time his own house was demolished, just like the previous times, he did not ask for the demolition family members, but instead asked for a building of the same price.

To be honest, if this yard of mine is converted into money and then converted into current housing prices, it can be exchanged for three three-bedroom apartments and two two-bedroom apartments, no more and no less.

But it’s not in the city, it’s still in the suburbs.

Even if it is the suburbs, it is still the suburbs of Beijing.

Moreover, with the development of Beijing, the housing prices in the suburbs outside the Fourth Ring Road will reach sky-high prices in a few years, which is much more cost-effective than directly asking for demolition compensation.

As for whether other people have any ideas, that is their business and has little to do with our family.

On the day when the family moved, the old neighbors who still lived here gathered together and talked about the Guo family's move.

"Not only does the Guo family own a courtyard all to themselves, but they moved out so easily. It's really unexpected."

"That's true. To be honest, with their yard, it's not a problem to ask for any amount of money, let alone a house.

It’s a pity that such a nice courtyard has to be demolished. What a pity.”

"What a pity?

Can a good yard be divided equally?"

"That's right, let's not talk about their family having a daughter, let's just say they have two sons.

Even if the two sons in their family have a good relationship now, the house is right in front of them. If the two sons have no objection, does that mean the daughter-in-law has no objection too?

Besides, you have to know that although it is true that they have two sons, the grandchildren are not all sons, but one boy and one girl.

Tell me, aren’t the old couple in the Guo family partial to their grandson?

Even though they love their daughter very much, she is married after all, so it is always different.”

"That's right, it's better to be straightforward and deal with the house quickly.

Whether it's money or a house, as long as you have it in your hands, it's fine."

"That's right. People of their age have no shortage of money or a place to live. They don't need to worry about their old age."

"What are you worried about?"

"That's right, there's nothing to worry about without these, right?"

"Yes, I heard that they both have pensions. Even if it's not much, it's much better than those who don't have pensions."

"That's right. Even if you don't say it, we all know it. It's just a pity that they moved away. We old neighbors have lost two more companions."

"Who says it's not?

But then again, we have no choice but to move this time, so we should stop trying to hold on here."

"I don't want to either?

But you know the situation in our family, can I help you if I don't stay here and hold on?"
