Reborn to Strive

It was not until the day before New Year's Eve that Shi Zhen and the others returned to their hometown.

Many places in the county have changed. For example, the roads that were only leveled before are now poured with asphalt or cement.

There are also a lot of motorcycles here, as long as you give money, you can send people to nearby villages at a very fast speed.

It's just not very safe, Shi Zhen saw two adults carrying two adults on a motorcycle, and those two people were not wearing helmets, whizzing past his tractor.

When they returned to the village, there were still many people gathered around Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun, listening to them talking about the outside world.

Although Shi Dashan and his family earned a lot of money outside, but Shi Zhen and his family earned more, and everyone became more curious about their lives.

And their house has a telephone, and I heard that Shi Zhen has a big brother... When people from the village came to their house, they would want to take a look at Shi Zhen's phone.

Since arriving in the mountains, the mobile phone has no signal, and now its function is only to be visited by people, and then those people will praise the stone again.

Not only that, but Shi Zhen also found that... the attitude of the villagers towards their family is obviously different now.

Even the person who told Zhao Qiujuan to marry her was gone, and everyone agreed that Zhao Qiujuan would not look for a partner in the village again.

After all, Shi Zhen's family bought a house outside, so they might stay outside and never come back.

However, no matter how powerful their family is in the eyes of the villagers, at this moment...they still have to live in a dilapidated house.

This house is really dilapidated, the roof is full of leaking holes.

Shi Dalin slept in the main room all night, and his nose was blocked the next day.

He kept blowing his nose and complained: "This house is really uncomfortable to live in."

Zhao Meiyun said without even thinking about it: "Yes, last night, a mouse jumped out of our room, and the mouse ran towards the wall, almost scaring Tingting to tears."

Although he only stayed for one night after returning, Zhao Meiyun already felt that everything was not going well here.

Among other things, it is very inconvenient for the three of them to sleep on the same bed.

As for the mouse, when the mouse ran by Shi Ting back then, Shi Ting was not afraid of kicking it. Once Shi Zhen killed a mouse, she asked if she could eat it... Now seeing the mouse, she screamed again. Jump again!

Zhao Meiyun said while preparing to make breakfast, but then she got used to it.

Their home is in Anshan Town, and they have a complete set of rice cookers, gas stoves and coal stoves, so they can cook very quickly.

But here, it is inconvenient to cook with an earthen stove.

Let’s just talk about this pot, which is big and heavy. When she wants to wash a dish after cooking, she has to pour water into it.

In the past, she could cook the next dish without washing the dishes, but now she can't bear it.

Shi Dalin said: "Ah Zhen, can we celebrate the new year and let Daniel stay here for a few more days and help us build a house? Then when we come back next year, we can live in a new house!"

"Dad, I got the news that Anning Road in Anshan Town will be lengthened, and the land on both sides will be sold... When you buy the land, you can build a house along the street. You don't want a house in Anshan Town, you want to build it here ?” Shi Zhen asked Shi Dalin.

The largest road in Anshan Town is Anning Road.

It was originally a river, but it was filled up and turned into a road.

The road is not long, and the south side of the road is a residential area. The house rented by Shi's family is in the alley on the south side of the road.

On the north side of the road, there are also many small alleys leading out, and the vegetable market, movie theater, etc. are all there.

To the north of the vegetable market cinema and so on, there are elementary and junior high schools.

Anshan Town will carry out development in the future, demolish the surrounding farmers, and expand the town. During this period, the Anning Road from west to east will be lengthened, and several roads from south to north will be built.

And because the development requires money, and there is not enough money... In Anshan Town, they will sell the land on the side of the road to build houses for others, and use this to collect money.

After collecting the money, they will compensate the farmers. Of course, the money is definitely not enough to compensate, and then they will give the farmers a piece of land on the side of the road, so that the farmers can build houses on the side of the road with the compensation money.

Because of the lack of money, the farmers at this time could not stand the lack of land, so the demolition process was a bit slow, but later, all the young people entered the factory and were unwilling to do farm work, and the economy developed again. The annual rent is still two or three times the money earned from farming... Everyone is scrambling to ask for demolition.

It was slowly demolished like this, and ten years later, even Guanjia Village, which was some distance from the town, was completely demolished.

The demolition has little to do with the Shi family. The house that Shi Zhengang bought was surrounded by old houses crowded together, and the town will not consider demolition for the time being.

The cost of demolishing old houses in the town is much higher than the cost of expropriating the surrounding farmers' land.

At this time, if one mu of land is expropriated from farmers, it is enough to give a few thousand yuan, and one mu of land in the town... how many houses must be in it?

Ten years later, old houses will be demolished and rebuilt if they affect the appearance of the city.

Speaking of buying land, this was actually something Shi Zhen had planned for a long time.

Shi Dalin and the others had some savings, as did Zhao Qiujuan, Shi Xingchao, Shi Dashan and the others should have a lot of savings now.

The two families can join together, buy a piece of land on the side of the street, and build a house together.

At that time, Anshan Town required those who bought the land along the street to build a unified house with five floors.

These houses are sold on a plot of about 140 square meters.

That is to say, except for the shops on the ground floor, there are four houses of nearly 140 square meters above.

At that time, there were many families in the town, and the families were very crowded, so we bought a piece of land in partnership with others to build a house. There were two houses on the upper part of the house, and two shops on the lower part, one for each family.

They all made money later.

In a few years ago, the rent of a shop was [-] to [-], and good locations were even more expensive!

As for the house above, it is also getting more valuable every year.

After he took Shi Dalin and the others out, he initially bought a house facing the street from the rural demolition households for them to live in.

At that time, some demolition households, in order to save costs and make the house bigger, would combine two families with one staircase. He bought one set for his family, and bought two sets facing each other for Shi Dalin, Zhao Meiyun, and Zhao Qiujuan’s family. It cost him 25 Ten thousand.

At that time, he didn't have much money, and after buying two houses, he had nothing left. Shi Ting and Zhao Dongjuan were not married, so he thought they could live with Shi Dalin and his wife, so he didn't buy them.

Later Shi Ting got married and lived with her in-laws, and Zhao Dongjuan... She kept making troubles, so Shi Zhen bought her a one-bedroom dormitory like the one-bedroom dormitory that the factory in the town used to allocate to employees. It was very cheap.

It's a pity that Zhao Dongjuan felt that she was too young and was always dissatisfied.

At the beginning of 2000, a house cost more than 10,000 yuan, but now buying a land belt to build a house, and building a five-story house, the total is only [-]+.

There is no harm in buying it!

Moreover, Shi Dalin and the others had a lot of money, so some weird ideas might come up.

In his last life, Shi Zhen realized one thing. Most people like him came from the countryside and suddenly became rich. It is not a good thing to have too much money in their hands.

Women are better. Men, especially young men, are prone to drifting away. When they drift away, they feel that they are rich and arrogant. Cigarettes are expensive and alcohol is better. When buying a car, you want to buy a luxury car. The most serious , and also to gamble with women.

The best way to deal with them is to wait until they have some money and let them spend it, then they will be honest again immediately.

And this money, of course, can't be spent indiscriminately, it's better to buy a house.

Speaking of which, Shi Xingxing's future husband, Liang Weiguo, just "floated". In 20, the husband and wife made some money, and he immediately bought a [-] car. A little money means buying a million-dollar luxury car.

Then he was scolded by Shi Xingxing.

Later, every time they had some money, Shi Xingxing went to buy a house and got a lot of mortgages for the family... He never dreamed of a luxury car anymore, and even drove his car for 14 years until Shi Zhen died, and he never changed it.

Shi Dashan and Shi Dalin are not young, and they are more down-to-earth. Shi Zhen believes that they will not gamble with women, but after Shi Dalin has money, he is really at a loss.

What I still want to think about is to build a house in the mountains.

Better to let him spend the money.

By the way, one thing to guard against after having money is being cheated of money.

In her previous life, Zhao Qiujuan was cheated out of her hard-earned money.

From the beginning to the end, Shi Xingchao was the only one who kept the money in his hands and never been cheated of money!

"Buy land to build a house?" Shi Dalin was a little confused: "How much does it cost?"

Shi Zhendao: "The land is relatively expensive. It is estimated that it will cost [-] to [-] yuan to buy it, but it is not expensive to build a house. The money will not be cleared at one time. You can pay it slowly."

Shi Zhen told him everything he learned in his previous life.

Although buying land is expensive, if Shi Dalin and Shi Dashan are in partnership, [-] yuan is enough for a family.

At that time, it will be divided into one point, which happens to be two suites for one store, which is very good, no matter how much...they can't afford it.

In terms of loans, it is very difficult for Shi Dalin and the others to get loans at this time.

Speaking of which, apart from buying land along the street, there is another interesting operation in Changxi City.

Probably it is to promote buses, but if there is no money, people will pay to buy buses, and then the money earned after the buses are opened will be distributed to those who buy cars.

Because of the heavy flow of people, it is not cheap to take a bus at this time. Many people who bought a car made a lot of money.

Shi Zhen didn't know about this before, but only recently.

In the past two years, Shi Zhen's decisions have been proved to be correct in the end.Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun subconsciously listened to him.

Not to mention Zhao Qiujuan, she has long thought about buying a house!

Shi Zhen mentioned that she could pay one-third of the money, and then give her one of the two apartments... What she is thinking about now is her own house that has no shadow.

Shi Ting is also full of longing for the new house.

She wants a room of her own.

After Shi Dalin got rich last year, he couldn't hold back and bought a color TV.

This year... the first time he opened a small store, he spent all his money and asked him to borrow a lot from Zhao Qiujuan, so he didn't want to buy anything, he just wanted to make money.

But now that the money he owed has been paid off and he still has a deposit, he started thinking about what to buy again.

In fact... He even discussed with Zhao Meiyun in private, planning for the two of them to buy a gold chain each.

But now he wants to build a house in Anshan Town, he will definitely not buy the gold chain, he has to save money!

Thinking about making money, Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun set up stalls in the village from the second day of the first lunar month, selling Huaguang stationery and various snacks.

What he brought were all things that sold well in his canteen, and they also sold well here.

The children in this neighborhood can get some lucky money for Chinese New Year, but can't they buy something?

Let's talk about Shi Daniu's son, even though he is still young, he bought something for 20 yuan in one go, which is called a rich man.

When Shi Zhen and the others come back this time, they will stay until the eighth day of the lunar new year. The main reason is that Shi Xingchao's wedding will be held on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

If Shi Xingchao married a local girl, then they would be busy on the fifth day of the lunar new year—the day before the wedding, the man would kill a pig, and then send half a pig to the woman's family, and many other miscellaneous things.

After such tossing, most of the day passed. In the evening, the man's house still had to cook a few tables of dishes, and invited the helpers to eat.

Because Fang Miyan's family is not here, all the things on this day are saved, and a lot of money is also saved. As for the wedding day...

According to local customs, the wedding banquet lasts for one day, relatives only eat lunch and dinner, but helpers even have to take care of breakfast.

Early in the morning, Shi Zhen and his family moved all their tables, chairs, pots and pans to Shi Dashan's house, and then went to work as a helper and had breakfast.

The staple food for breakfast is rice cake porridge, and the dishes include dried bamboo shoots with bacon, kelp with bacon, and fried pickles.

This kind of food is already considered rich in their place. The helpers like Shi Zhen in the village ate very happily and praised Fang Miyan again and again.

The cook is Fang Miyan, the bride!

What made them even more speechless was...Fang Miyan also cooks lunch and dinner!

They worship here in the morning. Before the worship, Fang Miyan cut up the sauced duck. After the worship, after the helper brought out the dishes she had prepared in advance, she cooked some hot dishes on the spot. .

Of course, the helpers did all the preparations for her, and Shi Xingchao helped her with all kinds of chores.

For lunch, there is sauced duck, bacon and salted fish, and white-cut chicken...also very decent.

However, Shi Zhen felt that these things should not cost much.

After all, like ducks, they are not cheap here, but they are quite cheap in Anshan Town. These sauced ducks are made by Fang Miyan himself, and the cost is lower.

"This sauced duck is really delicious. It's the first time I have eaten such a delicious duck." The villagers are full of praise. They don't have the habit of making sauced duck here, let alone Fang Miyan's sauced duck. Added pepper and other seasonings, the taste is really good.

"The soup she made is also delicious. It's the first time I've had such a delicious soup."

"These fried dishes are also new in style."

"I heard that Shi Daniu and the others eat the dishes cooked by the bride every day. This is too enviable!"

"Shi Xingchao is even more enviable. I said he didn't want this or that for whatever he did before... It turns out that his vision is too high!"

……

Shi Zhen, as Shi Xingchao's cousin, is the main force of helpers according to the usual practice.

He is responsible for serving the food, and the meal can only be eaten after others have finished eating. Of course, this is mainly because there are not enough tables.

But Shi Ting and Guan Baiyu can eat at the table.

Shi Ting was still young, so she didn't expect her to do anything. As for Guan Baiyu, he was a guest from afar.

People in the village either drank or drank soda, but Guan Baiyu didn't drink anything. He served rice and watched Shi Zhen while eating.

When Shi Zhen brought the dishes to their table, he immediately picked up a piece of tofu wrapped in meat and brought it to Shi Zhen's mouth: "Brother!"

His brother has been busy, so he must be hungry now!

Shi Zhen stared at the food being brought to his mouth, he was stunned, and then opened his mouth to eat.
