Households relocated in the 1990s

Chapter 13 Ideas for Building a House

"So, you are thinking, why not just use the money that can buy a house to develop in the village?" Jiang Wenlin confirmed half-jokingly and half-seriously.

However, I am a little uncertain about another matter:

"But this homestead...is it for your second son?"

"Can't I apply?" An Jianping asked casually while drinking tea.

Jiang Wenlin was a little confused about An Jianping's attitude.

But I also considered it very seriously:
"There are no regulations in this regard in the village."

"Especially now that every family has started to develop agritourism, the application for homestead land is not so strict anymore."

"That's right..." Having said that, Jiang Wenlin couldn't help but observe An Jianping's attitude again.

It is definitely impossible to say that the village has no regulations on the application of homestead land.

But if there are regulations, it does not mean that we cannot be flexible.

But first of all, one thing is certain.

Even if An Jianping really wanted to apply for a homestead for his second daughter, it would not be against the village regulations.

An Jianping didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and waited quietly for Jiang Wenlin's next sentence.

Jiang Wenlin sighed secretly and continued with his original words:

"It's just that your family's original homestead didn't quite meet the regulations."

"Especially since it has been vacant until now, the village is not without concerns when it suddenly has to apply for housing land."

"If that's the case..." An Jianping put down the empty teacup in his hand, brewed another small pot of tea, and began to think.

After adding new tea into their cups, he slowly said:

"If this is feasible, we would have planned to move our family's household registration back."

"Then the matter of the homestead not meeting the requirements will be ignored, right?"

"As for the vacant residential land...if we really decide to develop the village, these residential land plots will definitely be used for building houses as soon as possible."

After hearing what An Jianping said, Jiang Wenlin also became more serious.

He looked at An Jianping seriously and asked:

"Jianping, do you really mean to come back and develop?"

An Jianping nodded slightly: "I am indeed thinking about it."

"Uncle Lin, to be honest, I went for a walk around the village with you today."

"I found that there are really quite a few abandoned places in the village."

"Leaving aside other things, even the mulberry forest and the fish pond are not that difficult to utilize."

“It’s just that no one in the village is interested in developing in this direction anymore.”

"But is there anyone in your family who can take care of these things?" Jiang Wenlin asked in disbelief.

"Why must our family members be in charge?" An Jianping raised his eyebrows slightly and asked back.

But then, he said with some regret:
"Unfortunately, although I have a lot of ideas, it's very difficult to actually do anything!"

Jiang Wenlin instantly understood what An Jianping meant and couldn't help but sigh.

For a moment, the two of them didn't know how to continue the conversation.

An Jianping thought about the news he learned yesterday and asked directly:

"Uncle Lin, I really want to develop something in the village."

"So, I thought, everyone in my family has a job now."

"I don't know if there is any support from above for this kind of development."

"Not to mention anything else, just related loans and the like..."

"Our family has the ability to repay the loan."

"The village has found a new direction of development in recent years and has almost no thoughts about the mulberry fish pond anymore."

"But I work at a silk weaving factory, so I naturally know the current demand for silk better than anyone else."

"It's simply increasing rather than decreasing." "In fact, due to the rapid development of Southern Province in recent years, many of our local places that were originally doing well in silkworm and mulberry farming have gradually changed their business."

"The price and source of these cocoons have become a lot of problems."

"If I can restore the mulberry fish pond in the village, the most I can do is hire some people to help with the work."

“I can’t say how much I’ll earn in the early stages, but after two months I can at least break even.”

"After a year, even if we don't make a profit, I'm sure we can at least cover next year's contract fees!"

"Are you serious?" Jiang Wenlin listened to An Jianping's overly serious thoughts and couldn't help but stare at his face seriously, not missing any reaction.

"There's nothing I can do if I don't take it seriously!" An Jianping said helplessly, "My three children are all at the age of starting their own families and careers."

"If you don't fight harder, you'll probably end up being criticized."

"Three? So you mean you don't just want to apply for a homestead for your second child?" Jiang Wenlin asked with an extremely quick reaction.

"Yes, if I can really develop in the village, I will apply for a residential plot for each of my three children."

"Then I used the money I had saved for my eldest son's house to build all four houses."

"Four buildings?" Jiang Wenlin twitched his lips slightly. Did he underestimate Jianping's financial situation?

An Jianping nodded without hesitation:

"Since we are planning to apply for a homestead for one of our children, then it would be difficult for us old couple to share with one of them, right?"

"But didn't you say that you didn't have enough money to buy a house?" Jiang Wenlin always felt that something was not right.

"The house in the city costs more than 2,000 yuan per square meter! It costs more than 200,000 yuan to buy a house, not including the decoration costs." An Jianping said helplessly.

Since he has made up his mind to make a big move in Linjiang, he naturally doesn't care about exposing his family's financial situation.

"Two hundred thousand or so?" Jiang Wenlin repeated it twice in a daze.

When he looked at An Jianping again, he was filled with disbelief.

He originally thought that a house that costs about 1,000 yuan per square meter would only cost 50,000 or 60,000 yuan if he bought a smaller one.

If it were any bigger, just over a hundred thousand, it would be enough to amaze him.

It is normal that An Jianping cannot raise enough money.

After all, it is not uncommon to find people with a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan in the village nowadays.

But if you say that there are only a few households that can save up to 100,000 yuan, it is estimated that there are only a few households that can save up to 100,000 yuan.

And An Jianping actually said that it would cost him more than 200,000 yuan to buy a house?

No wonder he couldn't raise the money!

After Jiang Wenlin felt strongly disgusted in his heart, he began to think seriously about it.

It is true that it is not easy to buy a house in the city for around 200,000 yuan.

But if we build four houses in the village, we may not be able to use all the money.

Nowadays, houses are being built in the village.

The minimum cost is more than 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and the maximum cost is only about 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.

Even for those that have five floors, the cost will not exceed 40,000 or 50,000 yuan.

And if An Jianping's family built four buildings at the same time... No, it seems that his youngest son is also planning to build a house recently.

If the two companies work together to find workers and order materials, perhaps the cost can be reduced a little more.

So, An Jianping’s idea is really suitable?
Wait, he definitely didn’t come back to the village to build a house.

After all, whether they are their own family or not, it is better to let someone else manage them.

It is difficult to earn much income in a short period of time relying solely on a house.

So, will An Jianping return to the village to build a house?

The key lies in whether he can successfully contract the mulberry forest fish pond in the village?

Thinking of this, Jiang Wenlin also reacted.
