Doomsday Prologue
Chapter 4
Long Mu woke up from the cold and nightmares. There was no air conditioner in the study room. Last night An Cheng helped Long Mu take off his coat, but he didn't even take off his trousers.Looking out of the window, it was actually a vast expanse of whiteness. Is it snowing?It's really strange that it snows in the south on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the weather is also intoxicating.Long Mou recalled that dream again, in the dream a group of hungry people rushed towards him, wanting to grab the food in his space, Long Mou watched his body being torn to pieces by those people, and then woke up.It is reasonable to say that during this period of time he has been busy and has rarely dreamed. Yesterday was also a busy day, but he had such a nightmare, which reminded Long Mu of the previous expert's words that the end is coming.
The snow is still falling, and it's not too young. Some children who get up early have already started playing in the snow in the dam of the community. The adults are watching by the side, for fear of any accidents.On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we will eat glutinous rice balls. These things have already been bought and put in the refrigerator. Long Mo boiled glutinous glutinous glutinous rice balls and added eggs. He went to ask An Cheng to get up and eat them. When he opened the door, he saw several sheets of facial tissue lying on the floor. , suddenly embarrassed, exited the room and yelled and got up to eat glutinous rice balls.An Cheng agreed, got up and noticed the floor, felt something was wrong, cleaned it up, put on pajamas and came out.The air conditioner in the bedroom was always on, but it was warm. An Cheng felt a chill when he came out, so he turned on the air conditioner in the living room and said, "It's snowing, this is the first time I've seen snow in the south."
"I haven't seen snow for many years. Not only did the snow come late this year, but it was also very heavy. In previous years, a few pieces fell in the middle of the night and stopped during the day. I have never seen such a big snow." Long Mou Bringing out two bowls of glutinous rice balls from the kitchen, I didn't take what happened just now to my heart. It's normal for a man, and I sometimes have needs.
"This snow isn't that big. The snow in the north is big. It's a thick layer when you go out in the morning." An Cheng took the glutinous rice balls and looked out the window again: "But if it snows like this for two days, I guess the outside Those one-story houses may be crushed.” An Cheng was talking about the alleys of the old street next to the community, which were all old houses in the 80s and [-]s, and they had not been demolished because of the compensation for demolition. The houses in the south were all flat-roofed, snow If it is too heavy to fall, the house may be crushed. An Cheng was just talking for fun, but he didn't expect the last word to be a prophecy.
The heavy snow did not stop until the third day of the new year. The thick snow was almost half a meter thick, and no one could go out.There are no children playing with snow in the dam, and the snowmen that were built before have also been buried.The TV has been rebroadcasting the Spring Festival Gala of various stations, but there is no report on the snow disaster.There is a lot of excitement on the Internet, especially in some cities in the south. Because of the problems of construction and infrastructure, they have no ability to resist such heavy snow and cold weather. There are rumors on the Internet that people froze to death in many places, and there are many places where houses are covered by snow. Overwhelmed, power outages, water outages.
Long Mou's community is relatively good, water and electricity are still connected, but Long Mou sees that the old neighborhood has no lights at night, and the power is probably cut off, looking at the thick snow piled up on the roofs , I'm afraid what An Cheng said will come true.Before Long Mou's thought dissipated, two houses collapsed, and Long Mou could hear the cries for help coming from that direction. Some neighbors stepped on the snow to save people, and some The man was frightened, and regardless of how cold it was, he got on the ladder and went to sweep the snow from his roof.In such a cold day, firefighters and ambulances probably wouldn't be able to come out, so Long Mu could only sigh helplessly.
Not long after the houses in the old street collapsed, people from the owners' committee of the community in Longmu stepped forward. Although some owners had returned to their hometowns during the Chinese New Year, there were still quite a few people in the community.The owner's representative and the people from the property management company stood on the flower bed in the yard with a loudspeaker and shouted, asking the young and middle-aged people in the community to come out to help and shovel the snow on the roof of the top floor. The manpower of the property management staff is limited, and everyone's assistance is needed.
Long Mu was obliged to wrap himself up like a rice dumpling, and An Cheng naturally wanted to go too.There are still quite a few enthusiastic people in the community, even a few elders want to go, and they are all over [-] years old. The owners' committee and the property management people tried to persuade them for a long time but did not listen, and said that they have tools at home. Otherwise, he will go on his own, and everyone will not know what to say.In the end, Long Mou, An Cheng and an uncle surnamed Nie, as well as three young men from their building, went up to the top floor of the building accompanied by a property staff.
When the roof door was just opened, several people were shocked. There was a one-meter-high snow wall in front of them. Fortunately, the door did not fall down when the door was opened, otherwise these people would suffer.The property staff asked the residents on the top floor to bring some containers, and then everyone started to shovel the snow, put the shoveled snow into the containers, and pour it directly into the yard of the community.This is also what I said before. Although there is such a heavy snowfall, there is no guarantee that there will be no pedestrians on the streets outside.People were sent to guard the gates of each unit, and residents were forbidden to go into the yard at this time, so as not to be smashed.
Long Mou didn't expect that shoveling snow would be so tiring, and it was inconvenient to move around because of wearing too many clothes. With the help of seven or eight people and other residents, they shoveled until it was almost dark, but they just shoveled the roof of their building. to a third.
"Come here, you guys have something to eat first, let's change it." A few men in their forties walked outside, probably because they got the news and came to help.
Several people were tired after shoveling the snow for so long. After handing over the tools to them, Long Mou felt that his vest was soaked, and his breathing was uneven.Uncle Nie next to him looked at him and said, "Young man, you can't pant like this in such a cold day, it hurts your lungs. Hurry up and take a hot bath and change your clothes. It's easy to get sick if you sweat this day."
Long Mu nodded, and found that the old man didn't look very tired, and was inexplicably ashamed.An Cheng next to him seemed to be okay, and took Long Mou to the elevator to go home.
At night, the heavy snow finally stopped, but the snow on the street did not disperse, and the weather was still so cold.But the news finally started to report the snow disaster, and of course it also reported the scenes of people from all over the country entertaining themselves in the heavy snow. As for the news of the collapse and death, there was no news about it. It was even worse in foreign countries. According to reports, tens of thousands of people died. There are also many houses that have collapsed, and they are all countries on the same latitude as China.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the day before the end of the holiday, the heavy snow began to melt.The words "Auspicious Snow Zhaofeng Nian" written in capitals on the news headlines made Long Mou's eyes particularly dazzled.But the next question that Longmu needs to consider is that An Cheng seems to have really resigned. In the past few days, he has said several times to help Longmu to work, but Longmu doesn't know what to do. If An Cheng wants to help, he must You will find the space problem. After all, Longmu has never gone out to buy goods. Every time, he picks them up in the space and puts them in the room, and then takes them to the basement with a small cart to load them.
"What's wrong, I'm afraid I can't do well?" After a year, An Cheng and Long Mou were not so polite before, and this time sitting at the dining table, An Cheng chatted about this topic again.
"No, I think it's okay if I'm alone. No, I can still call the courier. It's a waste of your good job to quit. You'd better go back to work."
"I said I resigned, hey, let me tell you the truth. I fell out with my family. I used to work in a friend's company. I didn't expect to be found by my family before the Chinese New Year. In order not to trouble my friend, I had to resign. Now I am unemployed and have no place to go, if you don't invite me, maybe I won't be able to pay the rent in a while." An Cheng put on an honest look, and Long Mou didn't know whether to believe it or not. Wouldn't it be good to drive you away?
"You, I can't give you a lot of salary. Maybe it's not enough for you to keep a car." Long Mou has seen An Cheng's car, a high-end Volvo, and it is estimated to be 60 to [-] at least. Not enough money and gas.
"That car belongs to a friend. I'll return it to him tomorrow. I'll be in charge of delivering the goods for you. How about it? Money is not important. I don't think you are a stingy person." An Cheng made a look at Long Mou. Looking very confident, Long Mou said in his heart that this guy really saw through me, but he still didn't want to agree, so he offered a lower salary: "Then three thousand, if there is more, I will send it as a courier. It doesn't cost that much money a month." Originally, An Cheng thought that the salary would be too low to quit, but he didn't expect this guy to agree immediately.This is also because the salary of Longmu's previous company was considered high. Their company's front desk salary was more than 3000 plus nearly [-], so Longmu felt that the salary of [-] was very low. In fact, the salary of ordinary waiters outside was less than [-].But An Cheng didn't care, whether it was three thousand or eight thousand, they seemed to be about the same.
There was no other way, Long Mu could only bite the bullet and agree.After the third day of the Lunar New Year, he had already accumulated a pile of orders here. Although it was agreed that the delivery would not start until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, those people didn't care and started ordering one after another.In fact, what Long Mou didn't know was that the heavy snow had crushed the greenhouses of several nearby farms, and the traffic was paralyzed, and goods could not be brought in. The city is now in a state of extreme shortage of vegetables and fruits. out of stock.
☆, moving graves and building roads
In order to avoid revealing his secrets prematurely, Long Mou went to the property that night and asked if there were shops and houses for rent on the first floor of the community. Don't be too pretentious, the backside of the community is fine, just use it as a warehouse.He was going to use this place as a shipping point, and in the future, as long as he went out early and put the goods in the shop, it would be fine.Because of the snow shoveling, the community property had a good impression of Long Mou. The staff on duty helped Long Mou contact the owner of a shop at the back door of the community. This shop has been almost empty since the building of the community. It was rented to store spices, but it was later said that it was found to be mixed with drugs and was seized. The owner was so scared to death that he stopped renting it.This place is not proper, there are no ghosts in the weekdays, and I really don't know what to rent it for.When I called, the owner of the household had just come out of the temple after burning incense. Hearing that someone wanted to rent his shop, he was still the owner of the community. He thought it must be blessed by the Buddha, so he drove over.The shop is not big and not facing the street, so the price is very cheap. The two parties signed the contract quickly. Longmu paid half a year's rent at a time. The owner was happy, saying that since Longmu is also the owner of the community, the deposit will not be charged. He walked away satisfied with the money.Long Mou took 300 yuan to the property staff and asked him to find someone to help clean the shop. It would definitely not cost [-] yuan, and the rest would be his hard work.
Long Mou didn't expect that it would be Yao Mei who called to urge the goods on the first day of work. Originally, their flower shop business should be very good during the New Year. After all, many people go to other people's homes to buy fruits and flowers for New Year's greetings.But after the heavy snowfall, the flowers couldn't be brought in, and the flower base that supplied flowers to Lu Zheng's flower shop was said to be a big loss this time, and there was no flower to supply them at all. Yao Mei and the others still waited today. It took a long time to see that no one came to deliver the goods and called to ask. I was so anxious.Yao Mei also hesitated for a long time before calling Long Mou. Hearing that Long Mou's farm had not been affected much, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mou Zi, you must help me this time. We picked up a few The venue layout of a company's New Year mobilization meeting requires a lot of flowers, which are not available anywhere in the market now, so give me as much as you have, and send it to me now, I will use it in the afternoon."
Long Mou repeatedly agreed, and handed An Cheng the delivery list that he had sorted out last night, and asked him to watch him study it before going to the shop to load the goods, saying that he was going to buy the goods.Here comes the problem again, now there is only one car, Ancheng delivered the goods, and Longmu didn't have a car to drive, so how can I explain it later.An Cheng waved his hand and said that you go to buy the goods first, I still drive my car, I will send the same one to my friend later, Long Mou heaved a sigh of relief, went out and took the stairs and entered the space.
After picking a lot of flowers and tying them up, he ran downstairs and found that An Cheng's car had already driven away, and the shutter door of the shop was also pulled down. Long Mou knew that An Cheng should have left.Opening the shop, there are still a lot of goods left. There are too many orders today, and I can't finish them all at once. Long Mou thinks that I should buy a van, and it will be more convenient to modify it for loading. As for the pickup trucks in American dramas, forget it. Sichuan's control is strict, and it is not easy for this kind of car to enter the city on weekdays.
Send the flowers to Yao Mei's flower shop. The wait here is like ants in a hot pot. A group of people rushed up to help Long Mu unload and order. Yao Mei handed Long Mu a bottle of water and said, "You saved my life." It’s over, the bases we ordered for flowers are all gone, and the companies that placed the orders are regular customers, if they fail to do so, it will be a big loss.”
"Thank you so much." Lu Zheng also came over to express his thanks. The employees over there had already started to sort and pack the flowers. Many companies have meetings this year, and there is also a Lantern Festival, which requires a lot of flowers."
"I'll do my best." In fact, there are not many flowers in the space. Although they will grow after seven or eight days after picking, the problem is that about half of them must be left at a time, otherwise the bees will not make trouble. "Well, I'm leaving first, and I have to deliver the goods."
"Okay, you go first." Yao Mei saw that the goods over there had not been ordered yet, and she was not in a hurry to pay. When the order was finished, the special money would be enough.They are all old friends, this is not a problem: "The words here are estimated to be enough for today and tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, give us today's amount, once every other day, is that okay?"
"I guess it's a bit difficult. I took your call today and ran to the farm to clean up the flowers in the greenhouse. I was in a hurry with me on the beekeeping side. I'll try my best and see how much I can deliver the day after tomorrow. Think of a way." Long Mou said and left, but Yao Mei still didn't let him go, and added some more orders for fruits, vegetables and fish, saying that the vegetables on the market these days are not easy to buy.
Everyone is very busy during the New Year, and the media deliberately avoided it, so the disaster caused by the heavy snow was gradually forgotten.The cooperation between Longmu and An Cheng is quite smooth. Every night, Long Mo sorts out the orders and hands them to An Cheng, letting him plan the delivery route by himself. In the morning, Long Mou always gets up early, goes downstairs to prepare the goods, and waits An Cheng will send it off.More and more people placed orders with Longmu, and in the end, Longmu's WeChat did not stop for a day. He had to buy another mobile phone and re-apply for a WeChat account to add friends. It’s only used for business, and the news in the circle of friends is also the latest price and type of goods. Sometimes, typing and replying to messages all day makes my hands cramp, but Longmu doesn’t want to add any more employees. It’s better to be busy. As for whether to open Taobao Long Mou didn't think about the matter of the store for the time being.
To say that honey is the most popular in Longmu store now, many people say it's good after eating it.Especially the group of mothers in the confinement center, now they are confinement, so naturally they won’t eat old hen’s eggs anymore. They want to keep fit, so this honey has become their favorite, but Honey is limited, and Dragon Eyes provide it irregularly.It is usually sold once a week, ten cans at a time, and the price is not low. Longmu has also set a rule, that is, only the first ten customers who reply and place an order below after sending a message, in order to ensure openness and transparency, Longmu Every time I have to take screenshots and send those ten replies, some people will believe that it is really sold out.Speaking of which, just selling this honey every two weeks is enough to drive An Cheng's salary for two months.Just a glass jar and a catty, it only sells for 4 yuan. To be honest, Long Mou himself feels a bit dark, but Yao Mei, who was the first to eat this honey at this price, said it was cheap, even if it sold for [-] yuan, people would buy it. But Long Mou is still not so dark-hearted, the price is already one-third higher than the capped wild honey on the market.However, those customers who bought honey said that after eating this Baihua honey from Longmu’s family, they slept better, looked better, and seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and were not constipated. Other Longmu believed it. The problem is Long Mou really doubted whether eating honey can lose weight.
That night, the two of them were having dinner after a long day of exhaustion. Long Mou went to clean up the dishes. An Cheng made a cup of coffee and added a spoonful of honey to it. Long Mou came out and saw him, and hated him: " If you eat like this, you will eat up your monthly salary." Of course, this was a joke, and the relationship between the two seems to be getting better during this time, and those customers are also very satisfied with An Cheng who delivered the goods, saying You can still see handsome guys when you buy things, it's a super five-star service, Long Mou is not happy after hearing this, isn't the service not super five-star when he delivers the goods?
"Hey." An Cheng smiled, he also knew how popular this honey is, but Long Mou really didn't take it seriously, he would add some every time he made coffee, and later An Cheng followed suit, and the coffee tasted even better Smooth, the sourness of instant coffee is gone.
"Smile, by the way, I'm going to buy a Chang'an car. Didn't you say that you want to return your friend's car? After you buy the car, return your friend's car. The car with a cost of hundreds of thousands is here to deliver food , others thought we were rich." Long Mou said.
"The Chang'an car is ugly and its performance is not good. If you want to buy it, you can buy a Land Rover. It has a lot of space and looks cool to drive." An Cheng took a sip of coffee, and seemed to despise the Chang'an car.
"Your sister Lu, what a nice car you want to send a dish. It's settled like this. When the time comes, I will refit the inside of the car and print Xiaolong Farm on the outside of the car. How good it is, and the brand has been printed out." Long Mou changed his WeChat name to Xiaolong Farm, and now those customers call him Xiaolong Xiaolong, and he is used to it.
"I don't want to say how vulgar the name is, just think about it, wait for more than ten or twenty years, and someone will call you Xiaolong, are you embarrassed?" An Cheng was disgusted for a while, thinking that such a car brother would never drive, okay? .
"I'm happy, brother is not old, can't you?" Long Mou said quite proudly: "No delivery tomorrow and Sunday, choose a car to go."
In the end, An Cheng still didn't hold back Long Mou, and chose a Chang'an van. Long Mou drove to the repair shop and got off the row of the back seat. The interior of the car was slightly modified, and the outside was really sprayed with a layer of green. The pattern, and then a few large characters "Changlong Farm", as expected, I still feel that the previous name is not suitable.An Cheng also clamored for Long Mu to buy a Land Rover, saying that his own car was too modern, and it was a shame to drive it out. The problem was that Long Mu really had no money. There, where is the money to buy a Land Rover?
The business went on like this. Long Mou did the calculations twice. Selling agricultural products like this, he could earn more than [-] yuan a month. Long Mou increased An Cheng's salary from three thousand to four thousand. An Cheng He didn't say anything, and he didn't seem to think that the salary increase was something to be happy about.
Long Mou repaid the debts owed to friends, credit cards and Alipay, and began to slowly save money. An Cheng would still go to the gym to exercise after delivering the goods on weekdays, and persuaded Long Mou to join him several times Go, say that Long Mou spends all day making money and doesn't care about his body at all. He is as thin as a monkey. Long Mou also found that the little belly he still had seems to have disappeared recently. After disappearing, the whole person seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but Long Mou didn't agree to go to the gym. What a joke, it's too late for business.
In April, Long Mou received another call from his mother, Chen Yunxia, but he didn't mention his work or finding a girlfriend. He said that the road in his hometown was going to be built, and that his grandfather's grave might be moved, and the whole family would have a meeting to see it. Agree to move the grave, let Long Mou go back.Long Mou thought it was a little funny, his surname was Long and not Chen, when it was his turn to talk about family matters, he was just going back to gather the number of people.The six siblings in Chen Yunxia's family are really five older sisters and one younger brother. The older sisters have moved to the city long ago, and the one who is still in their hometown is uncle Chen Yunshan, but uncle Long Mou is not a worry-free person either. In his forties, he didn't have a formal job. He was idle all day long and had to be supported by his wife. Even his grandmother was taken care of by several sisters in turn, so he didn't care much.
After thinking about it for a while, Long Mu decided to go back and have a look. After all, if he wanted to move the grave, Long Mu still had to go back and offer sacrifices.I told An Cheng, and then handed over the mobile phone for business to An Cheng. I piled up the goods in the shop for two days early in the morning and left. I also sent a message to An Cheng saying that the goods were out of stock, so I told the customer to wait for the farm. There is something wrong, the delivery will be two days late.Then I called Yao Mei and Wang Jinmin from the confinement center to say hello and explained, and then drove to my hometown.
Long Mou's hometown is in Yunshui County. It is only an hour's drive from Yunchuan City by highway. When he got off the highway, Long Mou drove straight to his aunt's house. He had inquired clearly before, and the whole family gathered here to discuss.My aunt's family is in good condition, the house is spacious, and she is the eldest of the family, so she likes to discuss things here.
Long Mou rang the doorbell, and it was his cousin Ye Shengqin who opened the door. He called out and let Long Mou in with an awkward expression on his face. Long Mou felt that the atmosphere was not right, and all of them were dark-faced. He was sobbing, it looked like he was crying, and he thought that it would be no good if he got together, so he sat quietly aside after calling someone, and didn't speak, he was a junior or a grandson, he didn't have the right to speak, he just came to listen.
"According to me, it's either Mo Qian. If you want to move, we won't pay the money. Why should we pay for road repairs when Dad's grave is moved. It means that they have made money in the past few years and want to show off. What's the matter with us, no one lives in the old house now." The eldest sister Chen Yunlan said over there, and the fourth aunt Chen Yuncui also agreed.Long Mou couldn't understand, so he asked his cousin Ye Shengqin, it turned out that it wasn't the village that wanted to build the road this time, but a few families near the old house who had earned money and wanted to build the road to the door of their own house. Not many, and they were still kissing each other, so they contacted the big guys to pay for road repairs. When they arrived at Grandma Longmu's place, the problem came out.The five daughters are all married, and only my uncle is still registered in the countryside. It stands to reason that in the future, both the homestead and the fields will be owned by the uncle alone, and the money for road construction can only be paid by the uncle alone. The question is where did my uncle get the money? Chen Yunxia and the sisters also feel that this money should not be spent by themselves. Chen Yunshan is now in the city and has not farmed. It seems that he will not return to the countryside in the future. Building that road is not good for him It's useless, and the grave needs to be moved, and it will involve a lot of expenses of one kind or another. In short, I just don't want to move it, and even if I want to move it, I can't pay for it.But what grandma thinks is the ancestral house after all, so I can't give it up anyway. Now the villagers have to build roads, and they are more or less connected with relatives. Only one of them disagrees. How can I go back to see the folks and move the grave? It wasn't their family, and several households in that area had to be relocated. Using this reason to say that there was no money would not be justified.She also knew in her heart that her daughter couldn't afford the money, the problem was that her son was not up to par, and she didn't have so much money herself, so she started crying.
☆, prepare buns
"That's what I mean too. The stall that Lao Ou helped my brother find at Caishikou has already been negotiated. In two days, my brother will be able to sell meat. I have no one to farm or live in my hometown. I will tell them when the time comes , just don’t build the road. But if we want to move Dad’s grave at that time, we won’t say anything for the sake of relatives, but then there will be a Buddhist temple, and we will do it together, and our family will not pay. Already." The fourth child, Chen Yuncui, echoed.
Long Mou glanced at his mother, Chen Yunxia, and saw that she lowered her head and did not speak. Long Mou knew that her mother had some money, but I heard that it was all invested in the newly married man for business. I have lost a lot, and I guess I can't come up with extra money now.In fact, it doesn’t necessarily cost much to build the road, but the aunts of Long Mou, except for the aunt’s family environment are better, the other family conditions are average. For example, the fourth aunt owed more than one hundred thousand when she renovated the house last year. Foreign debts, I don't know if they have been repaid.
"Brother, express your opinion too. If you mean the same thing, we'll make a decision." The second child Chen Yunying looked at Chen Yunshan. Chen Yunshan also lowered his head. No money, the family's money is earned by my aunt selling stewed vegetables, Long Mou doesn't know what she thinks.
Seeing that Chen Yunshan was silent, his aunt Long Xiuqin spoke up. Yes, Long Mou's aunt had the same surname as him, and her seniority was one generation younger than Long Mou's. When she was in a relationship with Chen Yunshan before, Long Mou refused to call her Long Mou. Aunt Xiuqin, Long Mou didn't change his words until after Chen Yunshan married her, and was laughed at by others for a while.
"Elder Sister, Fourth Sister. It is reasonable to say that Chen Yunshan should pay this money, but the family has no money now. Chen Yunshan needs capital to sell meat immediately, and Pingping will need money to go to kindergarten in two months. I really can't afford this money. Come." Long Xiuqin hugged her daughter and said, Long Mou sighed when she saw it, at the beginning when grandma agreed to Chen Yunshan to take Long Xiuqin, she thought that Long Xiuqin was willing to endure hardships, but she didn't expect that such hardships would be the same. I have been taking it for seven or eight years, and I have been taking it all the time, but it has not improved.
"Sister Qin, don't say that. We are just asking my brother for an opinion. After all, it is the ancestral house. It doesn't mean that if you don't want it, you don't want it. If you want to go back to develop in the future, brother, you must pay for the road construction. , how many of our elder sisters have some will join you. If you really make up your mind and don't want to go back, then this road will not be repaired, and we will follow what the fourth sister said." The fifth brother Chen Yunhui said next to him , After all, he is a teacher, and his speech sounds much better.
"If you ask me to go back and farm, there is nothing wrong with it. Now the rural household registration is very valuable, and many college students have gone to the countryside to start a business. It's not like you haven't planted land before, look for a way. We have so much land in our family. You can plant it casually. Anything is better than now." The one who spoke was my great uncle Ye Yuangui, who retired from the office two years ago, and now he speaks with a bit of official air, but it sounds so reasonable.However, Long Mu felt that when he was talking about college students going to start businesses in the countryside, many people were looking at him.
"I've found all the stalls at Caishikou, I still want to sell meat." Chen Yunshan finally spoke, and undoubtedly told everyone that he didn't want to go back.After hearing his words, several people present felt relieved, only the grandma next to her sobbed even more sadly.Long Mu thought that he was just going through the motions when he came back, and it seemed that he was about to settle down, so he probably should go too.
"Then let's make it so. Third Uncle's fourth son, you go and talk about it, just say that we don't repair the road, and they will help pay for the ceremony of moving the grave." How satisfied.
"If you want, I will leave this matter to me." Chen Yuncui agreed, looked at the sad grandmother next to her and comforted her: "Mom, don't be sad, I heard from my third uncle that the village chief seems to be planning to take the village The vacant land is contracted out. Which piece of land in our village is the best, isn’t it the mountain behind our house? When someone contracts it, can the road be repaired past our house? And the land is contracted out, my brother will still pay for it after a year If you can get some money, those of us who are sisters don’t want him.”
Sure enough, the crying grandma got better after hearing this, but Long Mou, who was ready to leave, became interested after hearing it. Long Mou still had an impression of the mountain behind the ancestral house. I often go up the mountain to play. There is a small stream on the mountain that passes by the ancestral house. The terrain there is also good, with gentle slopes. Most of the places have fields, and there is a not-so-small valley.Seeing that everyone seemed to have made up their minds to get up, and the uncle was about to invite everyone to eat in the restaurant at night, Long Mou suddenly said: "I am willing to pay for the repair of this road, and I can also pay for the renovation of the ancestral house, but what? Uncle, you have to sign an agreement with me, that is, the ownership of the house belongs to me, of course, I will definitely give you some compensation." The ancestral house is a homestead, and it cannot be allocated to the head of Longmu, the city's registered permanent residence, grandma After death, the homestead and the house belonged to Uncle Yao, and Long Mou could only sign an agreement with Uncle Yao in private to prove his ownership of the house, and neither could belong to the homestead.
Everyone present was dumbfounded when they heard this, they didn't expect Long Mou to say such a thing.Originally asking him to come back was just as Long Mou thought, purely to gather the number of people, after all almost the whole family was here, even the married eldest cousin stayed at home obediently.
"Mouzi, are you serious?" Grandma asked before the uncle could speak.Over the years, every household in the village has built new houses, small villas with two or three floors, and garden decorations in good condition. Only the Chen family still has a brick and tile house from years ago. I heard that it snows during the New Year. It also crushed one room, and grandma didn't have time to go back and look at it, so I didn't know how uncomfortable it was.
"Really, you also know. I am selling agricultural products now, and the business is doing well. I want to contract a piece of land to grow by myself. Just now I heard from my fourth aunt that the land in my hometown is also outsourced, so I thought I would find It’s better to go back to my hometown to do it. Now everyone builds roads, maybe you can save me a lot of money. If you agree, I will pay for the road repairs, and I will also pay for the cost of moving the grave, but I can't tell about the contracting of the back mountain, I'm afraid that those road repairers will use their brains to ask me to pay the money alone." Long Mu explained, but he was thinking in his heart that the cash in his hand was not enough. A lot, after buying a car in the past three months, there is only 20 yuan left. Road repairs are definitely enough. When repairing houses, you can slowly contract barren hills. The house is sold? "
"You have only been in business for a long time now, and you have to start a farm by yourself. What will you do if you lose money?" Chen Yunxia said. She didn't mean to say bad things. The problem is that her investment just failed. It is inevitable that you will think about this.
"I know what's in my heart, Uncle Yao, just say what you want." Long Mou looked at Chen Yunshan.
"If you really want to go back and develop, you can go. I don't need to pay you here. Your uncle Yao won't charge you." Chen Yunshan is not a very greedy person, but he is a little lazy. At that time, he liked to be opportunistic, which made it what it is today.
"Money still has to be given. The elders are here. If you agree with what I said, everyone can help to discuss how much I can give to Uncle Yao. But I still make it clear that I can't afford to pay too much. It may be divided into installments." Long Mou smiled and said, these relatives are not enough to deceive themselves, they all watched him grow up.
"It's a good thing for you to go back to your hometown and start a business. As for the money, I also think it should be given. When the time comes, the contract should be written clearly. My brothers and sisters will settle the accounts clearly. Let's all be witnesses. The road is repaired and the house is built. This house will belong to Mouzi's family from now on, if anyone doesn't recognize it, we people will not be able to pass this test." Ye Yuangui stood up and said, speaking of him, he is also an official, although he retired, but let others know their mother-in-law's ancestral home The house is gone, and the news is not good, which is why he wanted Chen Yunshan to return to his hometown to develop.
When Ye Yuangui said this, no one objected. Chen Yunxia still had a dark face, but she didn't want to say anything.Everyone discussed it, and finally decided that Longmu would pay grandma and Chen Yunshan 2 yuan each as the land rental fee. To put it bluntly, grandma's 100 yuan would definitely fall on Chen Yunshan in the end, the only son.The lease term of 2 years is written in the contract, which is actually a meaning. The contract is estimated to have no legal effect, and it is written to be self-renewing when it expires.Long Mou used his mobile phone to transfer [-] yuan to Long Xiuqin's account at that time. Chen Yunshan wanted to play cards, and the whole family was worried about giving him the money. Let the aunt keep it. Grandma is old, and it is useless to hold money.Long Mou transferred another [-] yuan to Fourth Aunt and asked her to help build the road.
The snow is still falling, and it's not too young. Some children who get up early have already started playing in the snow in the dam of the community. The adults are watching by the side, for fear of any accidents.On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we will eat glutinous rice balls. These things have already been bought and put in the refrigerator. Long Mo boiled glutinous glutinous glutinous rice balls and added eggs. He went to ask An Cheng to get up and eat them. When he opened the door, he saw several sheets of facial tissue lying on the floor. , suddenly embarrassed, exited the room and yelled and got up to eat glutinous rice balls.An Cheng agreed, got up and noticed the floor, felt something was wrong, cleaned it up, put on pajamas and came out.The air conditioner in the bedroom was always on, but it was warm. An Cheng felt a chill when he came out, so he turned on the air conditioner in the living room and said, "It's snowing, this is the first time I've seen snow in the south."
"I haven't seen snow for many years. Not only did the snow come late this year, but it was also very heavy. In previous years, a few pieces fell in the middle of the night and stopped during the day. I have never seen such a big snow." Long Mou Bringing out two bowls of glutinous rice balls from the kitchen, I didn't take what happened just now to my heart. It's normal for a man, and I sometimes have needs.
"This snow isn't that big. The snow in the north is big. It's a thick layer when you go out in the morning." An Cheng took the glutinous rice balls and looked out the window again: "But if it snows like this for two days, I guess the outside Those one-story houses may be crushed.” An Cheng was talking about the alleys of the old street next to the community, which were all old houses in the 80s and [-]s, and they had not been demolished because of the compensation for demolition. The houses in the south were all flat-roofed, snow If it is too heavy to fall, the house may be crushed. An Cheng was just talking for fun, but he didn't expect the last word to be a prophecy.
The heavy snow did not stop until the third day of the new year. The thick snow was almost half a meter thick, and no one could go out.There are no children playing with snow in the dam, and the snowmen that were built before have also been buried.The TV has been rebroadcasting the Spring Festival Gala of various stations, but there is no report on the snow disaster.There is a lot of excitement on the Internet, especially in some cities in the south. Because of the problems of construction and infrastructure, they have no ability to resist such heavy snow and cold weather. There are rumors on the Internet that people froze to death in many places, and there are many places where houses are covered by snow. Overwhelmed, power outages, water outages.
Long Mou's community is relatively good, water and electricity are still connected, but Long Mou sees that the old neighborhood has no lights at night, and the power is probably cut off, looking at the thick snow piled up on the roofs , I'm afraid what An Cheng said will come true.Before Long Mou's thought dissipated, two houses collapsed, and Long Mou could hear the cries for help coming from that direction. Some neighbors stepped on the snow to save people, and some The man was frightened, and regardless of how cold it was, he got on the ladder and went to sweep the snow from his roof.In such a cold day, firefighters and ambulances probably wouldn't be able to come out, so Long Mu could only sigh helplessly.
Not long after the houses in the old street collapsed, people from the owners' committee of the community in Longmu stepped forward. Although some owners had returned to their hometowns during the Chinese New Year, there were still quite a few people in the community.The owner's representative and the people from the property management company stood on the flower bed in the yard with a loudspeaker and shouted, asking the young and middle-aged people in the community to come out to help and shovel the snow on the roof of the top floor. The manpower of the property management staff is limited, and everyone's assistance is needed.
Long Mu was obliged to wrap himself up like a rice dumpling, and An Cheng naturally wanted to go too.There are still quite a few enthusiastic people in the community, even a few elders want to go, and they are all over [-] years old. The owners' committee and the property management people tried to persuade them for a long time but did not listen, and said that they have tools at home. Otherwise, he will go on his own, and everyone will not know what to say.In the end, Long Mou, An Cheng and an uncle surnamed Nie, as well as three young men from their building, went up to the top floor of the building accompanied by a property staff.
When the roof door was just opened, several people were shocked. There was a one-meter-high snow wall in front of them. Fortunately, the door did not fall down when the door was opened, otherwise these people would suffer.The property staff asked the residents on the top floor to bring some containers, and then everyone started to shovel the snow, put the shoveled snow into the containers, and pour it directly into the yard of the community.This is also what I said before. Although there is such a heavy snowfall, there is no guarantee that there will be no pedestrians on the streets outside.People were sent to guard the gates of each unit, and residents were forbidden to go into the yard at this time, so as not to be smashed.
Long Mou didn't expect that shoveling snow would be so tiring, and it was inconvenient to move around because of wearing too many clothes. With the help of seven or eight people and other residents, they shoveled until it was almost dark, but they just shoveled the roof of their building. to a third.
"Come here, you guys have something to eat first, let's change it." A few men in their forties walked outside, probably because they got the news and came to help.
Several people were tired after shoveling the snow for so long. After handing over the tools to them, Long Mou felt that his vest was soaked, and his breathing was uneven.Uncle Nie next to him looked at him and said, "Young man, you can't pant like this in such a cold day, it hurts your lungs. Hurry up and take a hot bath and change your clothes. It's easy to get sick if you sweat this day."
Long Mu nodded, and found that the old man didn't look very tired, and was inexplicably ashamed.An Cheng next to him seemed to be okay, and took Long Mou to the elevator to go home.
At night, the heavy snow finally stopped, but the snow on the street did not disperse, and the weather was still so cold.But the news finally started to report the snow disaster, and of course it also reported the scenes of people from all over the country entertaining themselves in the heavy snow. As for the news of the collapse and death, there was no news about it. It was even worse in foreign countries. According to reports, tens of thousands of people died. There are also many houses that have collapsed, and they are all countries on the same latitude as China.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the day before the end of the holiday, the heavy snow began to melt.The words "Auspicious Snow Zhaofeng Nian" written in capitals on the news headlines made Long Mou's eyes particularly dazzled.But the next question that Longmu needs to consider is that An Cheng seems to have really resigned. In the past few days, he has said several times to help Longmu to work, but Longmu doesn't know what to do. If An Cheng wants to help, he must You will find the space problem. After all, Longmu has never gone out to buy goods. Every time, he picks them up in the space and puts them in the room, and then takes them to the basement with a small cart to load them.
"What's wrong, I'm afraid I can't do well?" After a year, An Cheng and Long Mou were not so polite before, and this time sitting at the dining table, An Cheng chatted about this topic again.
"No, I think it's okay if I'm alone. No, I can still call the courier. It's a waste of your good job to quit. You'd better go back to work."
"I said I resigned, hey, let me tell you the truth. I fell out with my family. I used to work in a friend's company. I didn't expect to be found by my family before the Chinese New Year. In order not to trouble my friend, I had to resign. Now I am unemployed and have no place to go, if you don't invite me, maybe I won't be able to pay the rent in a while." An Cheng put on an honest look, and Long Mou didn't know whether to believe it or not. Wouldn't it be good to drive you away?
"You, I can't give you a lot of salary. Maybe it's not enough for you to keep a car." Long Mou has seen An Cheng's car, a high-end Volvo, and it is estimated to be 60 to [-] at least. Not enough money and gas.
"That car belongs to a friend. I'll return it to him tomorrow. I'll be in charge of delivering the goods for you. How about it? Money is not important. I don't think you are a stingy person." An Cheng made a look at Long Mou. Looking very confident, Long Mou said in his heart that this guy really saw through me, but he still didn't want to agree, so he offered a lower salary: "Then three thousand, if there is more, I will send it as a courier. It doesn't cost that much money a month." Originally, An Cheng thought that the salary would be too low to quit, but he didn't expect this guy to agree immediately.This is also because the salary of Longmu's previous company was considered high. Their company's front desk salary was more than 3000 plus nearly [-], so Longmu felt that the salary of [-] was very low. In fact, the salary of ordinary waiters outside was less than [-].But An Cheng didn't care, whether it was three thousand or eight thousand, they seemed to be about the same.
There was no other way, Long Mu could only bite the bullet and agree.After the third day of the Lunar New Year, he had already accumulated a pile of orders here. Although it was agreed that the delivery would not start until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, those people didn't care and started ordering one after another.In fact, what Long Mou didn't know was that the heavy snow had crushed the greenhouses of several nearby farms, and the traffic was paralyzed, and goods could not be brought in. The city is now in a state of extreme shortage of vegetables and fruits. out of stock.
☆, moving graves and building roads
In order to avoid revealing his secrets prematurely, Long Mou went to the property that night and asked if there were shops and houses for rent on the first floor of the community. Don't be too pretentious, the backside of the community is fine, just use it as a warehouse.He was going to use this place as a shipping point, and in the future, as long as he went out early and put the goods in the shop, it would be fine.Because of the snow shoveling, the community property had a good impression of Long Mou. The staff on duty helped Long Mou contact the owner of a shop at the back door of the community. This shop has been almost empty since the building of the community. It was rented to store spices, but it was later said that it was found to be mixed with drugs and was seized. The owner was so scared to death that he stopped renting it.This place is not proper, there are no ghosts in the weekdays, and I really don't know what to rent it for.When I called, the owner of the household had just come out of the temple after burning incense. Hearing that someone wanted to rent his shop, he was still the owner of the community. He thought it must be blessed by the Buddha, so he drove over.The shop is not big and not facing the street, so the price is very cheap. The two parties signed the contract quickly. Longmu paid half a year's rent at a time. The owner was happy, saying that since Longmu is also the owner of the community, the deposit will not be charged. He walked away satisfied with the money.Long Mou took 300 yuan to the property staff and asked him to find someone to help clean the shop. It would definitely not cost [-] yuan, and the rest would be his hard work.
Long Mou didn't expect that it would be Yao Mei who called to urge the goods on the first day of work. Originally, their flower shop business should be very good during the New Year. After all, many people go to other people's homes to buy fruits and flowers for New Year's greetings.But after the heavy snowfall, the flowers couldn't be brought in, and the flower base that supplied flowers to Lu Zheng's flower shop was said to be a big loss this time, and there was no flower to supply them at all. Yao Mei and the others still waited today. It took a long time to see that no one came to deliver the goods and called to ask. I was so anxious.Yao Mei also hesitated for a long time before calling Long Mou. Hearing that Long Mou's farm had not been affected much, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mou Zi, you must help me this time. We picked up a few The venue layout of a company's New Year mobilization meeting requires a lot of flowers, which are not available anywhere in the market now, so give me as much as you have, and send it to me now, I will use it in the afternoon."
Long Mou repeatedly agreed, and handed An Cheng the delivery list that he had sorted out last night, and asked him to watch him study it before going to the shop to load the goods, saying that he was going to buy the goods.Here comes the problem again, now there is only one car, Ancheng delivered the goods, and Longmu didn't have a car to drive, so how can I explain it later.An Cheng waved his hand and said that you go to buy the goods first, I still drive my car, I will send the same one to my friend later, Long Mou heaved a sigh of relief, went out and took the stairs and entered the space.
After picking a lot of flowers and tying them up, he ran downstairs and found that An Cheng's car had already driven away, and the shutter door of the shop was also pulled down. Long Mou knew that An Cheng should have left.Opening the shop, there are still a lot of goods left. There are too many orders today, and I can't finish them all at once. Long Mou thinks that I should buy a van, and it will be more convenient to modify it for loading. As for the pickup trucks in American dramas, forget it. Sichuan's control is strict, and it is not easy for this kind of car to enter the city on weekdays.
Send the flowers to Yao Mei's flower shop. The wait here is like ants in a hot pot. A group of people rushed up to help Long Mu unload and order. Yao Mei handed Long Mu a bottle of water and said, "You saved my life." It’s over, the bases we ordered for flowers are all gone, and the companies that placed the orders are regular customers, if they fail to do so, it will be a big loss.”
"Thank you so much." Lu Zheng also came over to express his thanks. The employees over there had already started to sort and pack the flowers. Many companies have meetings this year, and there is also a Lantern Festival, which requires a lot of flowers."
"I'll do my best." In fact, there are not many flowers in the space. Although they will grow after seven or eight days after picking, the problem is that about half of them must be left at a time, otherwise the bees will not make trouble. "Well, I'm leaving first, and I have to deliver the goods."
"Okay, you go first." Yao Mei saw that the goods over there had not been ordered yet, and she was not in a hurry to pay. When the order was finished, the special money would be enough.They are all old friends, this is not a problem: "The words here are estimated to be enough for today and tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, give us today's amount, once every other day, is that okay?"
"I guess it's a bit difficult. I took your call today and ran to the farm to clean up the flowers in the greenhouse. I was in a hurry with me on the beekeeping side. I'll try my best and see how much I can deliver the day after tomorrow. Think of a way." Long Mou said and left, but Yao Mei still didn't let him go, and added some more orders for fruits, vegetables and fish, saying that the vegetables on the market these days are not easy to buy.
Everyone is very busy during the New Year, and the media deliberately avoided it, so the disaster caused by the heavy snow was gradually forgotten.The cooperation between Longmu and An Cheng is quite smooth. Every night, Long Mo sorts out the orders and hands them to An Cheng, letting him plan the delivery route by himself. In the morning, Long Mou always gets up early, goes downstairs to prepare the goods, and waits An Cheng will send it off.More and more people placed orders with Longmu, and in the end, Longmu's WeChat did not stop for a day. He had to buy another mobile phone and re-apply for a WeChat account to add friends. It’s only used for business, and the news in the circle of friends is also the latest price and type of goods. Sometimes, typing and replying to messages all day makes my hands cramp, but Longmu doesn’t want to add any more employees. It’s better to be busy. As for whether to open Taobao Long Mou didn't think about the matter of the store for the time being.
To say that honey is the most popular in Longmu store now, many people say it's good after eating it.Especially the group of mothers in the confinement center, now they are confinement, so naturally they won’t eat old hen’s eggs anymore. They want to keep fit, so this honey has become their favorite, but Honey is limited, and Dragon Eyes provide it irregularly.It is usually sold once a week, ten cans at a time, and the price is not low. Longmu has also set a rule, that is, only the first ten customers who reply and place an order below after sending a message, in order to ensure openness and transparency, Longmu Every time I have to take screenshots and send those ten replies, some people will believe that it is really sold out.Speaking of which, just selling this honey every two weeks is enough to drive An Cheng's salary for two months.Just a glass jar and a catty, it only sells for 4 yuan. To be honest, Long Mou himself feels a bit dark, but Yao Mei, who was the first to eat this honey at this price, said it was cheap, even if it sold for [-] yuan, people would buy it. But Long Mou is still not so dark-hearted, the price is already one-third higher than the capped wild honey on the market.However, those customers who bought honey said that after eating this Baihua honey from Longmu’s family, they slept better, looked better, and seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and were not constipated. Other Longmu believed it. The problem is Long Mou really doubted whether eating honey can lose weight.
That night, the two of them were having dinner after a long day of exhaustion. Long Mou went to clean up the dishes. An Cheng made a cup of coffee and added a spoonful of honey to it. Long Mou came out and saw him, and hated him: " If you eat like this, you will eat up your monthly salary." Of course, this was a joke, and the relationship between the two seems to be getting better during this time, and those customers are also very satisfied with An Cheng who delivered the goods, saying You can still see handsome guys when you buy things, it's a super five-star service, Long Mou is not happy after hearing this, isn't the service not super five-star when he delivers the goods?
"Hey." An Cheng smiled, he also knew how popular this honey is, but Long Mou really didn't take it seriously, he would add some every time he made coffee, and later An Cheng followed suit, and the coffee tasted even better Smooth, the sourness of instant coffee is gone.
"Smile, by the way, I'm going to buy a Chang'an car. Didn't you say that you want to return your friend's car? After you buy the car, return your friend's car. The car with a cost of hundreds of thousands is here to deliver food , others thought we were rich." Long Mou said.
"The Chang'an car is ugly and its performance is not good. If you want to buy it, you can buy a Land Rover. It has a lot of space and looks cool to drive." An Cheng took a sip of coffee, and seemed to despise the Chang'an car.
"Your sister Lu, what a nice car you want to send a dish. It's settled like this. When the time comes, I will refit the inside of the car and print Xiaolong Farm on the outside of the car. How good it is, and the brand has been printed out." Long Mou changed his WeChat name to Xiaolong Farm, and now those customers call him Xiaolong Xiaolong, and he is used to it.
"I don't want to say how vulgar the name is, just think about it, wait for more than ten or twenty years, and someone will call you Xiaolong, are you embarrassed?" An Cheng was disgusted for a while, thinking that such a car brother would never drive, okay? .
"I'm happy, brother is not old, can't you?" Long Mou said quite proudly: "No delivery tomorrow and Sunday, choose a car to go."
In the end, An Cheng still didn't hold back Long Mou, and chose a Chang'an van. Long Mou drove to the repair shop and got off the row of the back seat. The interior of the car was slightly modified, and the outside was really sprayed with a layer of green. The pattern, and then a few large characters "Changlong Farm", as expected, I still feel that the previous name is not suitable.An Cheng also clamored for Long Mu to buy a Land Rover, saying that his own car was too modern, and it was a shame to drive it out. The problem was that Long Mu really had no money. There, where is the money to buy a Land Rover?
The business went on like this. Long Mou did the calculations twice. Selling agricultural products like this, he could earn more than [-] yuan a month. Long Mou increased An Cheng's salary from three thousand to four thousand. An Cheng He didn't say anything, and he didn't seem to think that the salary increase was something to be happy about.
Long Mou repaid the debts owed to friends, credit cards and Alipay, and began to slowly save money. An Cheng would still go to the gym to exercise after delivering the goods on weekdays, and persuaded Long Mou to join him several times Go, say that Long Mou spends all day making money and doesn't care about his body at all. He is as thin as a monkey. Long Mou also found that the little belly he still had seems to have disappeared recently. After disappearing, the whole person seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but Long Mou didn't agree to go to the gym. What a joke, it's too late for business.
In April, Long Mou received another call from his mother, Chen Yunxia, but he didn't mention his work or finding a girlfriend. He said that the road in his hometown was going to be built, and that his grandfather's grave might be moved, and the whole family would have a meeting to see it. Agree to move the grave, let Long Mou go back.Long Mou thought it was a little funny, his surname was Long and not Chen, when it was his turn to talk about family matters, he was just going back to gather the number of people.The six siblings in Chen Yunxia's family are really five older sisters and one younger brother. The older sisters have moved to the city long ago, and the one who is still in their hometown is uncle Chen Yunshan, but uncle Long Mou is not a worry-free person either. In his forties, he didn't have a formal job. He was idle all day long and had to be supported by his wife. Even his grandmother was taken care of by several sisters in turn, so he didn't care much.
After thinking about it for a while, Long Mu decided to go back and have a look. After all, if he wanted to move the grave, Long Mu still had to go back and offer sacrifices.I told An Cheng, and then handed over the mobile phone for business to An Cheng. I piled up the goods in the shop for two days early in the morning and left. I also sent a message to An Cheng saying that the goods were out of stock, so I told the customer to wait for the farm. There is something wrong, the delivery will be two days late.Then I called Yao Mei and Wang Jinmin from the confinement center to say hello and explained, and then drove to my hometown.
Long Mou's hometown is in Yunshui County. It is only an hour's drive from Yunchuan City by highway. When he got off the highway, Long Mou drove straight to his aunt's house. He had inquired clearly before, and the whole family gathered here to discuss.My aunt's family is in good condition, the house is spacious, and she is the eldest of the family, so she likes to discuss things here.
Long Mou rang the doorbell, and it was his cousin Ye Shengqin who opened the door. He called out and let Long Mou in with an awkward expression on his face. Long Mou felt that the atmosphere was not right, and all of them were dark-faced. He was sobbing, it looked like he was crying, and he thought that it would be no good if he got together, so he sat quietly aside after calling someone, and didn't speak, he was a junior or a grandson, he didn't have the right to speak, he just came to listen.
"According to me, it's either Mo Qian. If you want to move, we won't pay the money. Why should we pay for road repairs when Dad's grave is moved. It means that they have made money in the past few years and want to show off. What's the matter with us, no one lives in the old house now." The eldest sister Chen Yunlan said over there, and the fourth aunt Chen Yuncui also agreed.Long Mou couldn't understand, so he asked his cousin Ye Shengqin, it turned out that it wasn't the village that wanted to build the road this time, but a few families near the old house who had earned money and wanted to build the road to the door of their own house. Not many, and they were still kissing each other, so they contacted the big guys to pay for road repairs. When they arrived at Grandma Longmu's place, the problem came out.The five daughters are all married, and only my uncle is still registered in the countryside. It stands to reason that in the future, both the homestead and the fields will be owned by the uncle alone, and the money for road construction can only be paid by the uncle alone. The question is where did my uncle get the money? Chen Yunxia and the sisters also feel that this money should not be spent by themselves. Chen Yunshan is now in the city and has not farmed. It seems that he will not return to the countryside in the future. Building that road is not good for him It's useless, and the grave needs to be moved, and it will involve a lot of expenses of one kind or another. In short, I just don't want to move it, and even if I want to move it, I can't pay for it.But what grandma thinks is the ancestral house after all, so I can't give it up anyway. Now the villagers have to build roads, and they are more or less connected with relatives. Only one of them disagrees. How can I go back to see the folks and move the grave? It wasn't their family, and several households in that area had to be relocated. Using this reason to say that there was no money would not be justified.She also knew in her heart that her daughter couldn't afford the money, the problem was that her son was not up to par, and she didn't have so much money herself, so she started crying.
☆, prepare buns
"That's what I mean too. The stall that Lao Ou helped my brother find at Caishikou has already been negotiated. In two days, my brother will be able to sell meat. I have no one to farm or live in my hometown. I will tell them when the time comes , just don’t build the road. But if we want to move Dad’s grave at that time, we won’t say anything for the sake of relatives, but then there will be a Buddhist temple, and we will do it together, and our family will not pay. Already." The fourth child, Chen Yuncui, echoed.
Long Mou glanced at his mother, Chen Yunxia, and saw that she lowered her head and did not speak. Long Mou knew that her mother had some money, but I heard that it was all invested in the newly married man for business. I have lost a lot, and I guess I can't come up with extra money now.In fact, it doesn’t necessarily cost much to build the road, but the aunts of Long Mou, except for the aunt’s family environment are better, the other family conditions are average. For example, the fourth aunt owed more than one hundred thousand when she renovated the house last year. Foreign debts, I don't know if they have been repaid.
"Brother, express your opinion too. If you mean the same thing, we'll make a decision." The second child Chen Yunying looked at Chen Yunshan. Chen Yunshan also lowered his head. No money, the family's money is earned by my aunt selling stewed vegetables, Long Mou doesn't know what she thinks.
Seeing that Chen Yunshan was silent, his aunt Long Xiuqin spoke up. Yes, Long Mou's aunt had the same surname as him, and her seniority was one generation younger than Long Mou's. When she was in a relationship with Chen Yunshan before, Long Mou refused to call her Long Mou. Aunt Xiuqin, Long Mou didn't change his words until after Chen Yunshan married her, and was laughed at by others for a while.
"Elder Sister, Fourth Sister. It is reasonable to say that Chen Yunshan should pay this money, but the family has no money now. Chen Yunshan needs capital to sell meat immediately, and Pingping will need money to go to kindergarten in two months. I really can't afford this money. Come." Long Xiuqin hugged her daughter and said, Long Mou sighed when she saw it, at the beginning when grandma agreed to Chen Yunshan to take Long Xiuqin, she thought that Long Xiuqin was willing to endure hardships, but she didn't expect that such hardships would be the same. I have been taking it for seven or eight years, and I have been taking it all the time, but it has not improved.
"Sister Qin, don't say that. We are just asking my brother for an opinion. After all, it is the ancestral house. It doesn't mean that if you don't want it, you don't want it. If you want to go back to develop in the future, brother, you must pay for the road construction. , how many of our elder sisters have some will join you. If you really make up your mind and don't want to go back, then this road will not be repaired, and we will follow what the fourth sister said." The fifth brother Chen Yunhui said next to him , After all, he is a teacher, and his speech sounds much better.
"If you ask me to go back and farm, there is nothing wrong with it. Now the rural household registration is very valuable, and many college students have gone to the countryside to start a business. It's not like you haven't planted land before, look for a way. We have so much land in our family. You can plant it casually. Anything is better than now." The one who spoke was my great uncle Ye Yuangui, who retired from the office two years ago, and now he speaks with a bit of official air, but it sounds so reasonable.However, Long Mu felt that when he was talking about college students going to start businesses in the countryside, many people were looking at him.
"I've found all the stalls at Caishikou, I still want to sell meat." Chen Yunshan finally spoke, and undoubtedly told everyone that he didn't want to go back.After hearing his words, several people present felt relieved, only the grandma next to her sobbed even more sadly.Long Mu thought that he was just going through the motions when he came back, and it seemed that he was about to settle down, so he probably should go too.
"Then let's make it so. Third Uncle's fourth son, you go and talk about it, just say that we don't repair the road, and they will help pay for the ceremony of moving the grave." How satisfied.
"If you want, I will leave this matter to me." Chen Yuncui agreed, looked at the sad grandmother next to her and comforted her: "Mom, don't be sad, I heard from my third uncle that the village chief seems to be planning to take the village The vacant land is contracted out. Which piece of land in our village is the best, isn’t it the mountain behind our house? When someone contracts it, can the road be repaired past our house? And the land is contracted out, my brother will still pay for it after a year If you can get some money, those of us who are sisters don’t want him.”
Sure enough, the crying grandma got better after hearing this, but Long Mou, who was ready to leave, became interested after hearing it. Long Mou still had an impression of the mountain behind the ancestral house. I often go up the mountain to play. There is a small stream on the mountain that passes by the ancestral house. The terrain there is also good, with gentle slopes. Most of the places have fields, and there is a not-so-small valley.Seeing that everyone seemed to have made up their minds to get up, and the uncle was about to invite everyone to eat in the restaurant at night, Long Mou suddenly said: "I am willing to pay for the repair of this road, and I can also pay for the renovation of the ancestral house, but what? Uncle, you have to sign an agreement with me, that is, the ownership of the house belongs to me, of course, I will definitely give you some compensation." The ancestral house is a homestead, and it cannot be allocated to the head of Longmu, the city's registered permanent residence, grandma After death, the homestead and the house belonged to Uncle Yao, and Long Mou could only sign an agreement with Uncle Yao in private to prove his ownership of the house, and neither could belong to the homestead.
Everyone present was dumbfounded when they heard this, they didn't expect Long Mou to say such a thing.Originally asking him to come back was just as Long Mou thought, purely to gather the number of people, after all almost the whole family was here, even the married eldest cousin stayed at home obediently.
"Mouzi, are you serious?" Grandma asked before the uncle could speak.Over the years, every household in the village has built new houses, small villas with two or three floors, and garden decorations in good condition. Only the Chen family still has a brick and tile house from years ago. I heard that it snows during the New Year. It also crushed one room, and grandma didn't have time to go back and look at it, so I didn't know how uncomfortable it was.
"Really, you also know. I am selling agricultural products now, and the business is doing well. I want to contract a piece of land to grow by myself. Just now I heard from my fourth aunt that the land in my hometown is also outsourced, so I thought I would find It’s better to go back to my hometown to do it. Now everyone builds roads, maybe you can save me a lot of money. If you agree, I will pay for the road repairs, and I will also pay for the cost of moving the grave, but I can't tell about the contracting of the back mountain, I'm afraid that those road repairers will use their brains to ask me to pay the money alone." Long Mu explained, but he was thinking in his heart that the cash in his hand was not enough. A lot, after buying a car in the past three months, there is only 20 yuan left. Road repairs are definitely enough. When repairing houses, you can slowly contract barren hills. The house is sold? "
"You have only been in business for a long time now, and you have to start a farm by yourself. What will you do if you lose money?" Chen Yunxia said. She didn't mean to say bad things. The problem is that her investment just failed. It is inevitable that you will think about this.
"I know what's in my heart, Uncle Yao, just say what you want." Long Mou looked at Chen Yunshan.
"If you really want to go back and develop, you can go. I don't need to pay you here. Your uncle Yao won't charge you." Chen Yunshan is not a very greedy person, but he is a little lazy. At that time, he liked to be opportunistic, which made it what it is today.
"Money still has to be given. The elders are here. If you agree with what I said, everyone can help to discuss how much I can give to Uncle Yao. But I still make it clear that I can't afford to pay too much. It may be divided into installments." Long Mou smiled and said, these relatives are not enough to deceive themselves, they all watched him grow up.
"It's a good thing for you to go back to your hometown and start a business. As for the money, I also think it should be given. When the time comes, the contract should be written clearly. My brothers and sisters will settle the accounts clearly. Let's all be witnesses. The road is repaired and the house is built. This house will belong to Mouzi's family from now on, if anyone doesn't recognize it, we people will not be able to pass this test." Ye Yuangui stood up and said, speaking of him, he is also an official, although he retired, but let others know their mother-in-law's ancestral home The house is gone, and the news is not good, which is why he wanted Chen Yunshan to return to his hometown to develop.
When Ye Yuangui said this, no one objected. Chen Yunxia still had a dark face, but she didn't want to say anything.Everyone discussed it, and finally decided that Longmu would pay grandma and Chen Yunshan 2 yuan each as the land rental fee. To put it bluntly, grandma's 100 yuan would definitely fall on Chen Yunshan in the end, the only son.The lease term of 2 years is written in the contract, which is actually a meaning. The contract is estimated to have no legal effect, and it is written to be self-renewing when it expires.Long Mou used his mobile phone to transfer [-] yuan to Long Xiuqin's account at that time. Chen Yunshan wanted to play cards, and the whole family was worried about giving him the money. Let the aunt keep it. Grandma is old, and it is useless to hold money.Long Mou transferred another [-] yuan to Fourth Aunt and asked her to help build the road.
