Chapter 315 Land on Credit and House on Credit? The Imperial Court Treated Us Too Kindly!
After bundling the cut wheat into piles, Liu Daqiang stood up and stretched his waist. He turned around and saw his wife, sister, his sister-in-law's family who came to help, and several children running around on the ground. A feeling of happiness surged in his heart.
Qing. Isn’t life like this? The fields are producing, and your wife, children, and relatives at home are all healthy?
It was originally said that the girl's family would kill the pigs the day after they came over, but due to the busy farming schedule, they decided to cut all the wheat today and then kill the pigs tomorrow.
In order to finish harvesting the wheat as soon as possible, Liu Daqiang rarely spoke up and invited his sister-in-law's family to help. In fact, at first, his wife had objections to the pig killing, but Liu Daqiang got through the old woman's work. His sister and nephew came here once in a while,
No matter what, he had to greet him well. More importantly, he wanted to treat the villagers and neighbors to a meal through a pig-killing banquet, so as to tell the neighbors that his brother-in-law had become an officer and the sister's family was living a good life.
The villagers all knew about the girl marrying a soldier. Originally, military households were a group that was discriminated against, not to mention military veterans. The villagers spread a lot of gossip behind their backs, saying that Liu Daqiang sold the girl for a betrothal gift.
He gave it to a military household. He had endured this day for a long time, and now his brother-in-law had finally become an officer. He didn't want to miss this opportunity. He just wanted to tell his neighbors openly that he was not mistaken at first and married his girl to a good family.
.
Early the next morning, Liu Daqiang specially invited the village's pig butcher and a few helpers to take out the largest pig from the pig pen and drag it to the large field behind the house. A group of people hurriedly killed it.
The pig got up.
Killing pigs is one of the major events in rural areas, especially at this time of the year, which is even more lively. Several children at home, as well as children from neighbors, are running around the pig killing farm.
I'm excited to see if the pig has been killed.
In addition to caring about the meat being ready, the children also care about one thing - pig urine. The turned pig urine can be blown into a balloon shape. After the children get it, they can play with it for a day. This is how to play with pig urine.
One of the happiest entertainment items for children in the era. However, this thing can also be sold for money. There is a special store in the countryside that collects this thing. After taking it back, it can be used to hold wine, vinegar, and can also be used as medicine. In order to make his nephew and niece happy, Liu Daqiang
Naturally, pig urine bubbles will not be sold for money.
After killing the pig and preparing the pig-killing dishes, the Liu family and their relatives and neighbors ate it deliciously. Today’s pig-killing banquet also included wine, which was a rare thing. The wine was brought by his sister from the capital. Liu Daqiang took it generously.
Come out and let the neighbors taste the good wine from the capital. While getting the wine, Liu Daqiang naturally talked about his brother-in-law becoming an army officer.
Things have to be revealed inadvertently, otherwise wouldn't it just be a show off?
Amid the congratulations and envy of his neighbors, Liu Daqiang drank a bowl of wine. The wine from Beijing was different, very strong.
After the neighbors left, Liu Daqiang, who was a little drunk, carried the remaining half of the pork to the management office of the village. A pig-killing feast would definitely not be able to eat all the pork, and Liu Daqiang's family was not really rich.
For a family that can eat a whole pig in one meal, the remaining half has to be sold to the management bureau for money. The reason why Liu Daqiang’s family can raise six or seven pigs in one go is because the management bureau has been collecting pork to make canned meat.
, don’t worry about sales. Otherwise, if there are too many pigs raised in rural areas, they may not be able to be sold.
After selling the pork in exchange for money, Liu Daqiang went home, gave the money to his wife and put it away, while he went to the wheat field to hum a song and look at the wheat stacks. In the current climate, the wheat stacks placed in the field are easily destroyed.
If people are concerned about it, it will definitely not work if they don’t look at it.
Lying in the wheat pile, looking at the sky, with a straw in his mouth, Liu Daqiang began to think about his future life. In the past few days, my sister heard that his family was planning to build a new house next year, and she quickly said that she would lend money to her brother.
, let me build the new house better and bigger. The current thatched house like a shack will definitely not work. It is better to build a red brick house popular from the factory area.
Building a new house as a brick house? Isn't this a bit too luxurious? Generally speaking, not only wealthy families can afford such a good house? Liu Daqiang doesn't believe that he, an ordinary farmer in Huangzhuang, has the courage to build a brick house.
.
Building houses has become very popular in the Beizhili area this year. Anyway, many people in Zhuangzi are talking about it, and some wealthy families have even started to take action.
Not only the households are building houses, but also the places where refugees are resettled are building houses this year. The brigade of the No. 7 Civil Affairs Bureau of Huairou is in full swing. In the past few days, they have led a team of young men to build brick row houses.
The newly cultivated fields of the refugees this year cannot grow summer crops, but can only grow autumn crops, so they are not as busy as other farmers during this period. In the spirit of not letting people be idle, the Civil Affairs Bureau started building brick kilns and building terraced houses for resettlement housing.
project.
Terrace houses are the architectural style of the Refugee Resettlement Agency, which are different from the scattered and disorderly houses in ordinary rural areas. The houses built by the Resettlement Agency are neatly arranged in rows. This kind of house has no yard, and there are suites inside and behind the house.
There is a small row of warehouse houses, and a small vegetable garden in front of the house, which is separated by a fence. The first reason for building this style of house is to facilitate construction and save labor and materials. The second reason is to make it easier to divide the houses in the future. Households vary in size.
, the number of divided rooms is also different. There are several types of units in a row of houses.
When finishing work in the evening, Gao Zengnuo looked at the rows of new houses that were about to be built, and couldn't help but become fascinated. In these houses, there would be his future home.
"Second brother, do you think the imperial court will really allocate these houses to us in the future?" Gao Zengguang, the eldest son of the Gao family, came over and asked his brother in disbelief as he looked at the houses in front of him.
"It will be built in our Civil Affairs Bureau, and we will not give it to anyone. Of course, it will not be in vain. The Civil Affairs Bureau will sell the house to us at a price."
"Sell it to us? Such a good house, even if the court doesn't make any money from us, we're afraid we can't afford it! I noticed when I was working these days that in addition to ordinary wood, the foundation of this house is made of stone.
The walls are made of bricks, and they were built with great care. To be honest, how many lifetimes can people live in a house like this? The most that can be done is to replace it with a better roof in the future."
"You can't afford the house built by the imperial court? Do you think the government in Beizhili is like our hometown? After the house is priced, it will be given to us on credit for twenty years. As long as we raise enough money for one year, we can
Live in these houses built.”
"Really? The imperial court treats us too well, isn't it? It's land and housing on credit. Don't tell me, I really came to Beizhili after listening to your words."
Gao Zengnuo was speechless when he saw that his eldest brother was so clueless! The eldest brother just had shallow eyes and made a fuss about everything he did. When he first fled, he complained all the way about his decision to come to Beizhili.
.Now my attitude has changed a lot, and I have begun to think about the good things of the imperial court. Of course I came to Beizhili at the right time. I had to escape from poverty with no money. It was only half a year later, and my family not only saved a few taels of silver dollars.
I have accumulated a lot of savings, and now I am about to have land and a house. Why are I here to escape? I am here to live a good life.
