Rebirth in the 90s: Pack up and prepare for demolition

Ye Wenhui didn't hear it. She was listening attentively to Aunt Zhou's gossip next to her.

Ye Ke, his aunt, and his younger aunt were not much better off, so they also lingered over and listened quietly.

My uncle was whispering something to the village chief, and no one's attention was on the staff.

My uncle looked around and rubbed his eyebrows.

This family will break up without me.

He nudged Ye Wenhui with his elbow and said, "Sister, they're calling you!"

He pursed his lips to signal Ye Wenhui to the staff in front. Ye Wenhui was listening intently and was startled by his retort. Then she heard the staff shouting again.

"Who is Ye Wenhui? Didn't she come?"

Ye Wenhui raised her hands high, pushed aside the group of people blocking her way, and squeezed into the encirclement with difficulty. "I'm coming, I'm Ye Wenhui."

It's no wonder she didn't hear it; the noise around them was too loud, everyone was too happy to contain themselves. Although they didn't dare to argue loudly in front of the staff, they couldn't avoid whispering.

The discussion of one or two people will not have any impact, but the discussion of ten or twenty people will cause a lot of chaos.

The village chief saw the staff frowning and quickly stood up and shouted, "What are you arguing about? Are you still going to divide the houses?"

I don’t know if it was because of the village chief’s intimidation or the house’s allure, but now everyone finally fell silent.

The staff member looked at the village chief gratefully and extended his hand to Ye Wenhui, "Show me your ID."

Ye Wenhui handed over her ID card and household registration booklet, and at this time Ye Ke finally squeezed in.

After verifying the information, the staff took out a document and asked Ye Wenhui to start choosing a house. "Your family's available area is 400 square meters, and the inside..."

"Why should her family choose first?" A dissatisfied questioning voice came from the crowd.

Ye Ke's forehead twitched violently, and he looked at Aunt Zhou, who thought she had hidden herself well, along with everyone else.

My aunt was so angry that she laughed, "Zhou Chunmei, do you think everyone is as stupid as you? Can't they hear your voice?"

Aunt Zhou's voice is not special, but her tone of voice is quite distinctive. In order to attract everyone's attention, she always raises and lengthens the tone of the words she wants to emphasize, for fear that everyone will not understand the meaning of her words.

For example, in the question just now, she emphasized the two words "her home".

When Aunt Zhou saw that everyone was looking at her, she knew she hadn't hidden it, so she simply laid it out, "So what? I have questions, but I can't ask them anymore?"

Ye Ke curled his lips and snorted, "Of course you can ask questions if you have any, but you can't be unreasonable. We stipulated that whoever measured first gets to choose first, so it's only right that my family chooses first."

"That's right!" Aunt-in-law and Ye Wenhui agreed at the same time.

My aunt also stood up to support me, "Respectable people always follow the rules, but they won't favor anyone who makes a fuss. There are so many people taking pictures in front of you. You can't expect everyone to give way just because you make a fuss, right?"

Aunt Zhou is notoriously noisy, especially when it comes to her own interests. She will make a fuss even if she is wrong. Everyone gets a headache when they see her.

My aunt was afraid that the staff would be weak-willed or would give in to calm things down, so she stepped forward and turned the conflict in her family into a conflict among everyone.

Sure enough, when the people around heard this, they who had originally kept a distance from the matter began to criticize it.

"That's right, it's already been booked, how can you change it just because you want to?" shouted a person who was queuing behind the Ye family to choose a house.

"Of course they are. They were afraid of losing out when they were measuring, so they were not proactive. Now that they have something to gain, they come out and make a fuss." A person who was standing in front of Aunt Zhou spoke up.

Aunt Zhou curled her lips in the face of everyone's outrage and said, "Alright, I just asked casually. Did I say anything else?"

She was just trying to take advantage of the situation, whether it was a good opportunity or not. If she could get something, that would be great, but if she couldn't, it wouldn't be a loss either. What did her face matter? She had long since given up on it.

While everyone was making a fuss, Ye Wenhui and Ye Ke had already quietly chosen their houses. They chose a three-bedroom apartment of 100 square meters and five two-bedroom apartments of 65 square meters, which was 25 square meters more than the agreed area, and they paid an additional 16,000 yuan.

Ye Wenhui had discussed with her two daughters early in the morning that the three-bedroom apartment would be kept for them to live in, and the remaining five two-bedroom apartments would be rented out.

Although they have always lived in Ancheng, they would come back every New Year and leave a house so that they would have a place to rest when they come back.

Besides, her family doesn't need the money from renting out this house.

After Ye Ke's family was chosen, the eldest uncle and the younger uncle went forward one by one to choose a house. Seeing Ye Wenhui and the younger aunt whispering about something, they suddenly reacted.

"Auntie, you can't choose the room?"

In the past, when they'd bought a barren mountain, bought a house, and raised money for investment, everyone had always come together. Seeing her aunt come back with her this time, Ye Ke took it for granted. It wasn't until she saw her eldest uncle, auntie, and younger uncle approaching to choose a house that she suddenly realized her aunt didn't have any land to build a homestead, so there were no houses to choose from!

My aunt said it as a matter of course, with the same innocent eyes as the Ye family, "Yes! So what?"

Ye Ke scratched his head, "Aren't you busy?"

I actually have the time to join in the fun.

Who knew that when my aunt heard these words, her face immediately began to droop, and her straight back gradually slumped, as if she had lost hope in this world.

Busy!

Why isn't she busy?!

My aunt sighed deeply and said, "I can't stay in that house any longer."

Since the demolition, the family has moved up to a life standard where they no longer have to worry about food and clothing. Her husband He Zhiming hired another person in the store so that she doesn't have to work so hard.

The original intention was good, but things tend to go wrong when people are idle.

It was during this leisurely state that she focused on He Siyuan's studies.

He Siyuan's grades weren't too bad; he'd even barely made it to a key high school this year. He was also quite intelligent, his only flaw being that he was easily distracted. Whenever it came time to do homework, he'd suddenly become interested in everything.

Every time I procrastinated and wrote until eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. In the end, I had to give in and finally I could barely finish the homework.

At first she thought the teacher had assigned too much homework, until she exchanged information with people around her at the parent-teacher meeting and realized the reason.

The teacher only assigned an hour's worth of homework! He Siyuan's deskmate in the class could finish it by 9:30 every day!

She felt that this was not a good way to go, and that a tree would not grow straight if it were not pruned, so she had to supervise He Siyuan's studies.

However, how could she easily change He Siyuan's decades-long study habits? She was full of energy at first, appearing around He Siyuan every day like a guerrilla fighter.

Just to monitor He Siyuan's homework progress at all times and check if he is distracted.
