Households relocated in the 1990s

Chapter 12 Contracting and Household Registration

"Uncle Lin, can I go and see the locations of the mulberry fields, fish ponds and flower fields in the village that have not yet been contracted out?" An Jianping made a direct request.

Jiang Wenlin was slightly stunned and looked at An Jianping, unable to react.

An Jianping laughed self-deprecatingly: "Uncle Lin, it was indeed me who called my brother some time ago and asked him to help with the homestead."

"It's just that I made this call in the morning, and I regretted it in the afternoon."

"Uncle Lin, I'm sure you know that my eldest son is now of marriageable age."

"That child has done well himself. The woman has a good personality and is talented."

"That's why our family wants to treat her better, so we plan to prepare a wedding house for the young couple when they get married."

"It's just that we didn't fancy the other houses that much. We thought that houses would be built higher and higher in the future, and it would be inconvenient without an elevator."

"After looking around, I found that the only apartment building with an elevator currently for sale in Rongdi is a residential complex that is currently under construction."

"That's the price..." As he said this, An Jianping couldn't help but take a deep breath in pain.

"Even if my family used up all their savings, we still couldn't come up with that amount of money. So I was suddenly confused and thought about these two residential plots in the village."

"But then I thought, even if I really exchanged these two plots of housing land, it would be difficult to raise the money."

Jiang Wenlin seemed to be somewhat confused.

No wonder, even the most capable and capable person in the village has to find ways to raise money.

Although Jiang Wenlin was not very clear about the specific prices of elevator apartments in the city.

But many families in Jiangcun have become rich over the years.

Not many people go to the city to buy houses.

But there are quite a few people who are concerned about the housing prices in the city.

I heard that this year, the cheapest house here costs more than one thousand yuan per square meter.

If you consider the whole family, you will have to buy at least several dozen square meters.

Wouldn’t this cost at least 50,000 or 60,000?

With this money, we can build two or three nice two-story buildings in the village.

"So what are you thinking now?" Jiang Wenlin thought about it, but couldn't figure out what buying a house had to do with the village's contract.

"It's not that we only discovered this time when our family needed money. With the salary my wife and I earn, it's too much for us."

"I was thinking about whether I should contract some land like the people in the village and start a business."

"That's right, my family isn't in the village anymore, so I'm not very clear about some things."

Jiang Wenlin was still a little confused. He subconsciously asked:
"So, are you planning to buy this house?"

An Jianping sighed: "Whether to buy it or not, it's difficult!"

"That's true!" Jiang Wenlin nodded.

Even if this happened to him, he would feel worried just thinking about it.

But he is worthy of being the earliest capable person in Jiangcun!
The couple raised their three children and sent them to school for many years.

But there is still quite a lot of deposits?

If they really feel that this money is not enough to buy a house in the city.

Planning to develop a business in the village, seems like a good idea?

Thinking of this, Jiang Wenlin forgot what he was going to say to An Jianping.

He stood up and took An Jianping out of the village committee.

The two chatted as they walked along a street in the village.

This street is the most densely built area in the entire Jiangcun, and is filled with various shops.

There is this street.

Not to mention the villagers of Jiangcun, even the guests coming and going in Jiangcun can almost meet all their daily necessities.

It’s just that many businesses are unique.

Even in small supermarkets and grocery stores, the variety of choices is not as rich as in the city.

Today is Sunday, and there are obviously many more strangers on the streets.

But most of the stores were not busy.

When they saw Jiang Wenlin and An Jianping together, no matter whether they knew them or not, they would greet them from afar.

An Jianping greeted people while observing carefully.

Some of the strangers who appeared on this street were riding motorcycles or cars, while others were rarely seen cars.

But more people got off the bus at the village entrance and walked here. Their destinations were not exactly the same.

But if you observe carefully, you can find that the purpose of their visit is basically to go to farmhouses or places where they can pick vegetables.

The two of them quickly crossed the entire street until they could see An Jianping's residential land.

Jiang Wenlin finally reacted:
The reason he specifically called An Jianping was not to take him to see the places in the village that had not been contracted out.

"Jianping, if you really don't want to sell your homestead, how about... I have someone tear down these walls?"

Jiang Wenlin looked at the annoying earthen walls with an indescribable feeling.

Nowadays, in Jiangcun, not only do every family live in a multi-story building.

But in the whole Jiang Village, only An Jianping's family lives in a house that is so dilapidated.

In particular, the industries that Jiangcun has developed today are mainly based on farm stays.

At this time, there are guests coming and going from time to time.

Having such a dilapidated old house is really embarrassing for the villagers.

An Jianping glanced at the captain and finally understood why he had made more than one call.

However, he did not nod in accordance with the captain's suggestion.

If his idea could be implemented, this earth wall would naturally not be a problem.

Jiang Wenlin felt helpless.

Seeing that An Jianping had already walked a long way, he could only continue to follow him.

Next, the two of them left the area around the village and walked around it for a long time.

He visited almost all the mulberry fields, fish ponds, flower fields and even orchards in the village that had not been contracted out.

Overall, after all these years of neglect.

Although the mulberry trees in the mulberry field are no longer managed by anyone, they look very different from their original neat and easy-to-pick appearance.

But it can also be taken care of in a short time.

The rest, whether it is fish ponds, flower fields, or even orchards, are almost completely abandoned.

Especially the flower fields, they are basically empty.

There are fish ponds and orchards.

Even though no one is managing it for the time being, it looks extremely desolate.

But occasionally you can also spot fish at the bottom of the water.

And even though no one is specifically managing them, most of the fruit trees are still alive.

That is, if you really want to make use of them, it will not only be a waste of time and effort.

Jiang Wenlin had been carefully observing An Jianping's expression along the way.

But you can't tell anything else from his face.

Instead, he seemed to feel a bit distressed about the mulberry fish ponds on which he had spent a lot of effort.

What a pity, it has been abandoned over the years.

Not to mention the mulberry fish pond, even the mulberry forest and fish pond have long been unattended.

Go back to the village committee from another direction.

After the two sat down in the village chief's office again, An Jianping didn't beat around the bush and asked Jiang Wenlin directly:

"Uncle Lin, if I contract some mulberry fields and fish ponds in the village, I can also move my family's household registration back here."

"Can our family get another share of homestead?"

"What?" Jiang Wenlin looked at An Jianping, unable to react.

He could understand the previous sentence.

But why are those who recently wanted to sell their homesteads asking about the homesteads again?
An Jianping seemed to see through Jiang Wenlin's thoughts and explained helplessly:

"Uncle Lin, you don't know that in our family, not only the eldest brother is getting married soon."

"And the second one who has been studying in South City."

"She graduated from college this year, and her boyfriend is a classmate she has been dating since high school."

"From what they said, it seems like they're planning to get married right after graduation."

"I wanted to move the village's residential land this time because I might have to hold another wedding in the second half of the year."
