When Yan Chen got home, her sister-in-law had indeed arrived and was sitting in the living room chatting with Aunt Jiang.
As soon as she saw him coming back, her sister-in-law quickly stood up and walked towards him, "Oh, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for more than half an hour."
"Sister-in-law, wait a moment, I'll go upstairs to get something."
Yan Shu nodded immediately, "Okay, why don't you hurry up?"
"Um!"
Yan Chen hurried up the stairs and called his grandfathers, but no one answered the phone. He lowered his head and looked at the time and found that it was the time when they were usually busy in the fields, so she
He hung up the phone decisively, opened the drawer, took his things and went downstairs.
"Aunt Jiang, I just called my grandpas, but no one answered. If they come back by then, please ask them to tell Xiang Jin for me and ask her to answer my call at two o'clock in the afternoon. I
If you have anything to do, come to her."
"Oh, okay, Xiang, Xiang Jing, right?"
"Yes, Xiang Jin!"
The three of them followed Yan Chen and went out.
The first place they arrived was the land above the west gate.
"Chen Chen, look, this piece of land is from one side to the other. There is a big river on the right side of it. Normally, the nearby villagers take water from that river to water the crops around it."
Che's sister-in-law pointed to the surrounding environment and introduced it to him.
Yan Chen looked around and found that it was indeed a very large area. He couldn't see the end with his naked eyes, so he picked up the telescope and took a general look at it, and then said to Uncle Mingtao,
"Uncle Tao, would you like to take me for a walk?"
"Okay, let's go, get in the car!"
When the car reached the river, Yan Chen stopped, and then got out of the car with a few people.
Yan Chen walked to the middle of the field to check, and found that on the back of a small hill shelter, the land there was basically on the same level as the river.
His brows immediately knitted together, then he picked up a branch from the ground and squatted down to pull up the soil under his feet.
He changed positions several times, and finally said, "Sure enough!"
"What's the matter, Chenchen?" His sister-in-law didn't know what he meant, so she asked.
Uncle Tao was also confused.
Yan Chen explained to them, "Sister-in-law, Uncle Tao, look, I just used this branch to pry the soil below, and found that the soil below is composed of sand and gravel layers. This proves that
This area is actually formed by the sedimentation of the sand on both sides of the river channel that has been impacted over the years. At least, it is almost an acre in width from here to there.
Moreover, the low-lying land over there also formed a small-scale swamp."
"So this land is not good, right?!" His sister-in-law also frowned.
“You can’t say it won’t work, it’s true that it’s not very good, at least this area here is not very good.
I remember that my uncle and aunt told me some knowledge about soil structure when I was young.
Talk about what kind of soil is suitable for building houses, what kind of soil is suitable for growing crops and flowers, and what kind of soil and stone is suitable for building tombs.
The soil here is entirely made of sand and gravel, which is not suitable for construction, because the sand is a fluid soil layer that will sink. Over time, the houses built on it will
There will be safety hazards.
This land is still suitable for the country's own use. When the country's economy improves, it can be built into a park or scenic spot, but if we buy it, it will not be suitable. I won't be able to sell it when the time comes."
His sister-in-law said, "In this case, let's not choose this piece of land. Let's look at the other two pieces of land."
Yan Chen raised his head and looked around again, and her sister-in-law said, "Don't look at it. There is only this piece of land around this area, and the crops over there are collective land. You don't like to follow me?"
Is it a collective deal, so let’s not look at it.”
Yan Chen slightly raised the corners of his lips, "It's not that I don't like dealing with groups, it's mainly because I still have more choices. It's not time to compete with the people for territory yet, so I don't have to cause trouble."
His sister-in-law nodded after listening to what he said, "You're right, it's really troublesome to deal with the collective. First, you have to discuss it with them, and then they have to declare it, and then there are subsidies like this, and so on.
For compensation, the procedures can be cumbersome and troublesome.
It is more direct to deal with the government, which saves time and speed in getting things done. The most important thing is that the government has a lot of good resources in its hands, and we can choose from them. At this time, few people dare to buy land.
It might be more pleasant."
"Well," Yan Chen nodded slightly, and then Uncle Mingtao asked them where to go next. Yan Chen and his sister-in-law asked him to decide, and Yan Chen said, "Let's go to the east gate."
Uncle Ming Tao said, "Hey, this one is a bit far away. I think we can go around from the west gate to the south gate. After looking there, we can go directly to the east gate, which is convenient and saves money."
A lot of things happened."
Yan Chen said, "I have studied the topographic map of Nanmen'er before and considered it based on the actual situation. The final result is that I do not plan to buy land in Nanmen'er."
"Why?" His sister-in-law and Uncle Mingtao asked in unison. His sister-in-law also said, "I think Nanmen is very good. First of all, Nanmen is close to the city and there are rich people living there.
At most, it’s easy to develop by buying land there.”
Yan Chen said, "Based on these reasons, I don't plan to buy land in Nanmen'er. The reason why Nanmen'er's land is valued by the government is probably based on these factors.
After two years, when several successful examples of experiments in coastal cities emerge, we in the mainland will definitely follow suit. By then, the first place our provincial government will want to develop is Nanmener.
I bought the land in Nanmen at this time. In two years, the government will organize a development project. By then, I haven’t even started to warm up yet. The land will be resold to others for construction. At that time,
Although the price will definitely be higher than it is now, it will definitely not reach my ideal height, so it is not very forward-looking to buy land in Nanmen now.
The land I buy must be able to be stored for at least five to ten years, so that I can make money, otherwise it will be pointless to make money in vain!"
Uncle Ming Tao suddenly said, "Oh, Xiao Chen, this is what Uncle Ming Tao admires about you. You are smart and never stop studying. No matter what you think about at such a young age, you think deeply.
I think your analysis just now is very reasonable. Uncle Mingtao agrees with your point of view. Let's choose a piece of land in the east. It is far away from the city and the development will not be that fast. We will wait for the development of Nanmen.
Once it rises, and slowly expands to the east, the price of that land will increase several times!"
The corner of Yan Chen's mouth curled up again, but he was thinking in his heart, how many times would it increase? It would be too little. It would have to increase at least dozens or even hundreds of times.
When his sister-in-law saw it, she hurriedly said, "Okay, then let's go directly to the east gate to have a look."
After several people looked at the piece of land above the east gate, Yan Chen and his sister-in-law were about to ask him how he was doing, but saw that his brows were frowning, so she said, "Why, you don't want to use this piece of land either?"
Not satisfied?"
Yan Chen said, "Let's go check out the outer area again. Uncle Tao, please drive the car further forward."
His sister-in-law said, "It will be too far if we drive further. It will be too far from the city by then, and we don't know when the land will be developed."
Yan Chen said, "It doesn't matter. I have plenty of time to wait. Anyway, I'm still underage and I don't expect it to be realized immediately."
His sister-in-law frowned, but she couldn't resist him and had no choice but to follow him and get in the car again.
Yan Chen carefully checked the land behind the piece of land that his sister-in-law was interested in, and then made a decision directly, "Sister-in-law, I'm sure, I want this piece of land!"
His sister-in-law's frown deepened, "So far?!"
Yan Chen smiled and said, "You think it's far now because the roads around it are quite roundabout. We took a long way around. But if the economy develops in the future, the road will definitely be redesigned. You guys
Look, take the shortest straight line between two points. From here you can go directly to the city center. The drive will not take more than half an hour at most.
Although the piece of land you were looking at before is good, it is too big, as much as thirty acres. With my current financial strength, I cannot afford such a large piece of land.
And the most important thing is that the land is mountainous, and there are several ponds and tunnels in it. You can see that there are five or six relatively large soil bags in that land. When the time comes, the cost of cultivating them will be relatively high.
The developer will definitely use this aspect to lower my price.
But this piece of land is different. This piece of land has flat terrain and uniform soil quality. It can maintain balanced stress. I just checked the underground soil quality and found that the soil below is not that kind of clay. That means this piece of land
The water permeability is good, so if you build a house in this place, the house will not be damp.
Moreover, there are no ponds and tunnels here, so there is no need to backfill. In fact, the soil in places with ponds and tunnels is mostly soft, and soil like this is not suitable for building houses.
I just visually inspected this piece of land, and it is smaller than the piece of land you were looking at before, sister-in-law. It should be about twenty acres here, and if I buy it, I should be able to get it."
His sister-in-law said, "Where is it? Even if the price here is four hundred yuan per square meter, your money is probably even worse."
Yan Chen said, "That's enough. I bought a few paintings this morning, and with some savings in my card, it shouldn't be a problem to get this land. Let's go, sister-in-law, let's go to the Land and Resources Bureau!" He took the lead as he said that
Just strode towards the parking spot of their car!
Looking at his back, Yan Shu asked Uncle Mingtao who was walking aside, "So you went to sell paintings this morning? How many more paintings did you sell this time? How much did they cost in total?"
Uncle Mingtao gave her a "7" sign, and then said, "The price this time was very high, I mean there were two paintings, both sold for 300,000 yuan each, and the other two paintings were sold for 300,000 yuan each.
Each of the three paintings was sold for 200,000 yuan, and the other two were sold at the lowest price of 150,000 yuan. This time, the total was sold for 1 million and 50 yuan, and the payment was made on the spot."
"Really?!" Yan Chen and his sister-in-law were immediately overjoyed.
Uncle Ming Tao nodded, "The foreigner spoke highly of our Xiaochen's paintings this time, saying that he is a genius, and that his paintings... Oh, he said that this time he learned from his
I can read different emotions and see different souls in my paintings, which are lively, simple, vivid and vivid.
He also bluntly said that if his paintings were placed in a foreign exhibition hall, the price would be three to five times higher!"
"Really? Doesn't that mean that our Chen Chen's paintings can be included in foreign art exhibitions?" Yan Chen and his sister-in-law were immediately excited.
Uncle Mingtao nodded.
After getting into the car, Yan Shu grabbed Yan Chen's arm and said to him with bright eyes, "My sister-in-law has always known that you are good at painting and that your paintings can be sold for money, but she didn't expect that your paintings can be sold for money."
Paintings are actually so valuable now.
You should paint well and strive to become a world-renowned great painter like Leonardo da Vinci and Van Gogh!"
Yan Chen said, "Sister-in-law, painting is just my interest and hobby. It is not my career ideal or life plan. Moreover, I am not interested in becoming famous or not, so don't hold any suspicion against me in this matter."
Too much expectation.”
"What, you don't want to become a world-renowned great painter?" His sister-in-law suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Yan Chen shook his head, "I don't want to!"
His sister-in-law said excitedly, "But you have reached that level of painting now?!"
Yan Chen said, "That's just a way for me to make a living."
"You don't want to be admitted to the Military University and you don't want to be a painter, so what are your career ideals and life plans?" His sister-in-law suddenly asked.
Yan Chen said, "Businessman! Business! Our family already has grandfather and uncle who have served the army all their lives. I won't join in the fun. Painters like Leonardo da Vinci and Van Gogh only appeared hundreds of years ago."
One, I think I don’t have the talent and height like them, so I’d rather leave the opportunity to become a world-renowned artist to others.”
His sister-in-law followed and said, "But Chenchen, your father hopes that you will study abroad after graduating from high school and specialize in painting."
Yan Chen sat upright, tilted his head, and looked out the window, "Those are his ideas, not mine. I have my own life ideals and plans, and I don't need him to make them for me."
His sister-in-law nodded, and then patted his hand on his knee again, "No matter what you do, my sister-in-law will support you. Our family Chenchen is so smart, I believe you will do well no matter what you do in the future."
It comes from the results.”
Yan Chen smiled slightly at her and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"Hey, thank you for what, you are my nephew, why would you want to be so arrogant?!"
Yan Chen looked out the window again.
After the car drove for a while, Uncle Mingtao suggested, "Xiao Chen, it's almost twelve o'clock now. Do you think we should find a place to eat first and then go to the Land and Resources Bureau?"
"Can!"
After a few people found a place outside to eat something casually, they drove straight to the Land and Resources Bureau. However, when they got there, they heard that they would not go to work until half past one, so everyone
We can only wait a little longer.
But wait outside. It’s still snowing outside and a bit cold. Let’s wait in the lobby of the Land and Resources Bureau. There’s a lot of space there and there are tiles on the floor, so it’s still quite cold. So everyone had to go back in the end.
Go to the car and wait.
But if you were waiting in the car, you would have to wait for a while. Seeing that there were about forty minutes left, Yan Chen directly opened the car door and said, "I'll go to the phone booth over there and make a call."
Looking at his back, Uncle Mingtao murmured, "But it's not even two o'clock yet?"
The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. Yan Chen and his sister-in-law suddenly remembered what Yan Chen told his Aunt Jiang when he left home in the morning, so he asked Uncle Ming Tao, "Hey Ming Tao, is that Xiang Jin?"
Who is it? Why are our boys Chen Chen and Han Che so close to him?"
Uncle Ming Tao said, "Oh, that's one of his classmates. His grandpa's kid in the bay is also a very smart kid. Every time he takes the test, his scores are on par with our Xiaochen's. The two of them often discuss together.
Some learning problems, coupled with the child's sincerity towards others, made them friends.
Didn't Han Che also go to live in the countryside for a while during the summer vacation, and then he met Xiang Jin. Later, Xiang Jin bought some books from him, and he also asked Xiang Jin for some cooking recipes.
, As for the signature dishes in those stores now, Han Lao Er later helped Xiang Jin grow vegetables in the greenhouse, and he helped Xiang Jin mail some vegetable seeds that they didn’t have there, so the two went back and forth.
Individuals have become friends.”
"Oh, so that's it? Well, you said that the signature dishes in Han Laoer's restaurant are all made from the recipes provided by Xiang Jin?" Yan Chen and his sister-in-law nodded, and then continued.
Uncle Ming Tao nodded, "Yes, it is exactly according to the recipe provided by Xiang Jin. Is it delicious?"
Yan Chen and his sister-in-law nodded, "Yeah, it's delicious! Oh, no, how old is Xiang Jincai? He should be about the same age as our Chenchen, right? How could he provide such an older child with such
Any recipes for delicious dishes?"
Uncle Mingtao said, "How else could our Xiaochen be friends with her? This smart guy usually likes to contact and communicate with smart people, otherwise there would be no common language.
Xiang Jin is a very smart child. Not only does he have good academic performance, but he is also extremely talented in cooking, just like our Xiao Chen is in painting.
She likes to tinker with food, especially when she has nothing to do. She likes to make things like the braised pork and the rice noodles you ate last night. They were all made by her.
Not only that, she also opened a braised pork shop for her mother, and also helped her two uncles open a roujiamo and fried rice noodle shop. Ouch, the business is good, it is full every day, especially among the students.
During the term.”
"How do you say this last sentence?"
Uncle Mingtao said, "Their store is right opposite Fuyun Town. There are thousands of teachers and students in the school, and hundreds of people eat there every day."
.
Her uncles sell only one or two thousand buns that day, and let me tell you, the location of the shop was originally decided by Xiang Jin for them."
Yan Chen and his sister-in-law immediately laughed after hearing this, "Oh, this is someone who knows how to do business!"
Uncle Ming Tao said, "Isn't that right? No one in the entire Fuyun Town can copy the food she made. Now the restaurants and restaurants in the entire Fuyun Town probably belong to them."
The ones at home are the best! Even the greenhouse vegetables grown by Xiaochen and his grandfather’s family were also suggested by her.”
"Oh, this kid is really smart, isn't he?" Yan Chen and his sister-in-law couldn't help but sigh after hearing what he said.
Uncle Mingtao said, "Smart, very smart, and her memory is very good. She can remember the contents of any book she has read."
"Oh, you said, I want to meet this kid."
Uncle Mingtao was startled for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Then you may have to go to the countryside to meet me."
At this moment, Yan Chen opened the car door and got in, followed by Uncle Mingtao who asked, "How is it? Are you done with the phone call?"
Yan Chen closed the car door and said, "Xiang Jin is not at home. He went to town. I'll call her later."
Uncle Mingtao was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Oh, we were on the spot again today. I guess she went to the store in town to help."
Yan Chen said, "No, I heard from my grandma that she went to discuss business with my grandpa."
"Huh?" Yan Chen, his sister-in-law and uncle Mingtao were stunned for a moment.
Yan Chen explained to them, "In a short time, the lettuce in the field will grow. My grandma said that the original customer's price for this dish was a bit low. It happened that the owner of a clothing factory in the county introduced us to it.
I got a client and we made an appointment to meet in town today, so they went."
"Oh, that's it!"
"Um!"
Several people waited for another ten minutes before it was time for them to go to work. They got off the car with everyone, and then Yan Chen reminded his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, remember, I told people that you bought the land for 70 years to live in."
years of use."
Her sister-in-law said, "I know, but last time I asked about it, if it has not started construction for more than a year, it will have to pay an idle fee. If it has not been used for two consecutive years, the government has the right to take it back for free. What should I do?"
Yan Chen said, "When I buy it, I can just build a few houses on it. It won't cost much. Besides, the land I bought won't remain idle forever. We can cultivate it first. I've thought about it."
, let’s discuss the specific matters when we get home.”
"Okay, okay," Yan Shu suddenly felt that her nephew was so thoughtful that he didn't look like a child at all, but like an extremely mature adult. She could see the shadow of her father in him.
