Chapter 63 Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion, Homestead Proposal
Time flies, and the annual Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived again. The sun shines gently on the earth, and a sweet fragrance fills the air.
As is customary in previous years, Yuan Bao's family visited his uncle's house.
As soon as we entered the courtyard, we saw Grandma sitting at the door, welcoming everyone with a big smile.
My aunt and uncle were also busy in the kitchen early on, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
Yuan Bao walked into the kitchen and said to his aunt with a smile, "Auntie, today I brought the ingredients for Dongpo pork knuckle and snail chicken, and I'm going to make them for everyone to try."
Auntie smiled and said, "Great, Baoya, your cooking skills are getting better and better. You'll be in charge of making these two dishes, and we'll take care of the rest."
"Okay, sure!" Yuan Bao put down the ingredients and started preparing.
She skillfully cleaned the pork knuckle, put it in a pot, added various seasonings, and slowly simmered it. Soon, the aroma filled the air.
Next, Yuan Bao began preparing the snail-chicken dish. She cut the chicken into small pieces, marinated it with scallions, ginger, and garlic, and then stir-fried it in a pot. In no time, the chicken turned golden and crispy, emitting an enticing aroma.
Yuan Bao brought the Dongpo pork knuckle and snail chicken he had prepared to the table. His aunt and uncle also brought out their dishes. Everyone sat together, enjoying the food and the time together.
While eating, her uncle said, "Bao Ya, this Dongpo pork knuckle is so delicious, and this snail chicken is really good too." Yuan Bao smiled and said, "I'm glad Uncle likes it."
Everyone ate and chatted, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
At this moment, the uncle suddenly put down his chopsticks and said with a slightly serious expression, "Everyone, please stop for a moment. I have something I'd like to discuss with you."
Everyone stopped eating and looked at their uncle.
The uncle continued, “I have a friend in Zhongxin Village who can help with the transfer of homestead land. He asked me if I wanted it. I thought I should settle it first, so I want everyone to pool 2 yuan to transfer this homestead land. Then our family can slowly build a house later.”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao thought to herself, "It really is about the homestead." She had to seize the opportunity to help, so she immediately continued, "I think it would be great if our family could have a homestead. One of my classmates built a house on a homestead, and it's several stories high. Several of their close relatives each have one floor, and it's very lively living there."
Moreover, I've heard that it will be increasingly difficult to obtain land for homesteading in the future, so I suggest we seize this opportunity.
The aunt nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, I heard that it will be very difficult to get a homestead in the future. Some of my colleagues at work are looking for ways to build houses. I think we can consider it, after all, it's for everyone's good."
My aunt chimed in, "Yes, yes, I agree. Let's all chip in."
Grandpa heard it, but because he had suffered a stroke, his speech was slurred, and he could only watch anxiously.
Seeing Grandpa's expression, Grandma knew what he wanted to say, so she chimed in, "Yes, I think this is a good thing. Let's all work together."
Yuan Bao looked at his mother and asked, "Mom, what do you think?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yuan's mother said, "It's a good thing, and I think it's okay, but how should we divide the funds after we raise them?"
The uncle stated, "It's 20,000 yuan in total. There are four of us siblings, so let's keep it simple and calculate it as one-quarter. Or we can calculate it based on the percentage of each family's contribution."
Yuan Bao looked around at everyone and said, "Okay, let's transfer the homestead first, and then we can talk about building a house later."
The uncle added, "Yes, everyone, don't worry, we don't have to come up with all the money at once. I'm thinking we can put together 10,000 yuan to reserve the land, complete the transfer procedures, and put Mom and Dad's names on it. Then we can pay the rest."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao was overjoyed: "Uncle, that means each family will receive 2500 yuan, right? We can raise the money first and complete the formalities as soon as possible."
Everyone nodded in agreement and agreed to send the money over the next day so that their uncle could complete the formalities as soon as possible.
Yuan Bao said with a smile, "Uncle, we need to plan our house construction properly in the future."
“That’s right. We want to build a house that is both beautiful and practical, so that each family can live on one floor, with the first floor for the maternal grandparents.”
"Okay, from now on, we kids can all do our homework together on one floor and keep an eye on each other." After Yuan Bao finished speaking, she saw her younger cousin and her younger cousin staring at her with bright eyes, as if they were happy about the suggestion. She just didn't know if they were thinking about doing homework together or playing together.
After dinner, everyone sat in the courtyard, enjoying the moon and chatting.
They envisioned a happy future where the whole family would live together, taking care of and supporting each other.
Yuan Bao walked up to his uncle and whispered, "Uncle, we owe you a lot for this land transfer."
The uncle smiled and said, "Baoya, we are a big family, we should get along well. You and Baoguo are doing well in school now, so you should take care of your younger siblings. The future depends on you."
Yuan Bao nodded and said, "Uncle, I will."
Just then, her aunt looked over and said with a smile, "Yes, Baoya, we'll be counting on you from now on!"
Yuan Bao said, "Yes, Auntie, don't worry, we'll all be fine from now on."
A system notification sounded in his mind: "Congratulations, Master, for completing the temporary task and earning 1000 points. Your total points are now: ."
Yuan Bao looked at his points balance and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
