Sun Shaoan also stayed at Wang Manyin's house for a day. After the old man's physical examination results came out, there were no major problems.
He disappeared again and continued to run business in various towns and villages.
Wang Manyin and Lanhua had a lot of free time, and there were not many places to visit in Yuanxi.
But keeping the elderly in Yuanxi is not just for fun, it is just to let the elderly live in Yuanxi for a few more days so that they can adapt to life in the city.
"Mom, how do you feel about living in the city these days?"
"It's quite good. Life in the city is good. No wonder the villagers envy the city people. They have electricity, lights, refrigerators, and washing machines all the time. Apart from the power consumption, there are no other problems. There is no need to carry water every day, and no one has to push the flour.
, it’s also very convenient to buy some needles, thread, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. Even Mao Dan goes to school in a few steps, which is much easier than Shaoping and Lanxiang going to school.”
Lanhua's mother didn't know Wang Manyin's true intention in asking, so she should have been speaking from her heart.
Shuangshui Village is a little behind. Guan Village has had electricity for several years, and Shuangshui Village just started planning to have electricity.
That is to say, most of the villagers' lives have improved now. A few years ago, the villagers had no demand for electricity at all.
Most villagers can't afford or don't want to use electricity. Kerosene lamps, even if they light candles, are much cheaper than electric lamps.
"Mom, since you also think it's good to live in the city, how about you all move here and live in the city too?"
"Man Yin, please stop talking. Mom knows that you miss us old people. But we have already said that we have An'an and Pingping. How can we live with our son-in-law? We live quite well in the village."
When it came to persuading Sun Shaoan to move to the city, he just brushed it off at most. He didn't have to worry about talking to the old man first, so Wang Manyin didn't continue. As long as the old man didn't object to living in the city.
…
After sending the old man back, winter came faster.
Sun Shaoan is now free. The construction sites have stopped, and Sun Shaoan is not as busy as other seasons.
This year was also lucky for Sun Shaoan. Although the tractors of the transportation team had some bumps and bumps, there were no accidents that hurt anyone.
If you don’t count the depreciation of the tractor, Sun Shaoan can barely make a loss.
But what is supposed to come will always come, and Sun Shaoan has to face a choice. The credit union's loan has expired.
Sun Shaoan definitely didn’t want to sell the tractor.
Therefore, when the expiration date was approaching, Sun Shaoan first found his good friend Liu Genmin.
I hope the loan can be extended for a while, but things are different now.
In the past, not many people dared to borrow money to do business, and the credit union's loan quota could not be used up. With Liu Genmin's help, Sun Shaoan could easily get the loan.
With the continuous reform and opening up, a group of people have become rich after seeing personal loans.
Credit union loan lines have long been in short supply.
Private transportation teams like Sun Shaoan have large loan amounts, provide few jobs, and contribute little tax revenue, so they are unlikely to receive any preferential treatment.
Seeing Sun Shaoan worrying every day, smoking or drinking at home, he became very decadent. Xiulian saw this and felt pain in her heart.
"Brother Shao'an, if you really don't want to sell the tractor, I'll go find Sister Lanhua and brother-in-law and ask them to help us get over this hurdle?"
"No, don't go looking for my sister and brother-in-law. When Tian Laowai got into trouble, he borrowed five thousand yuan from his brother-in-law, but he hasn't paid it back yet. Why don't you go look for them now? If it doesn't work, just sell the tractor during this period.
Yes, our family still has a truck. If we don’t work together, we won’t have a living and we won’t be able to make money!”
After hearing that Sun Shaoan, who was as stubborn as a donkey, decided to sell the tractor, Xiulian finally had a bit of joy on her face.
After all, Xiulian is just an ordinary rural woman, not as holy as Sun Shaoan.
When your own family is having a hard time, how can you care about other people in the village?
This old man, Tian Laowai, has made Xiulian miserable for more than a year.
Xiulian, apart from doing housework every day, spends the rest of her time making clothes so that she can fill the hole of Tian Laowai. How can she be happy?
"Brother Shao'an, you don't have to worry so much. Let me tell you a good thing. I have another baby in my belly. This time we will definitely have both sons."
After hearing that Xiulian was pregnant again, Sun Shaoan felt much better. He was relieved that so many kidneys were not wasted.
When Wang Manyin returned to Shuangshui Village during the winter solstice, he heard two pieces of good news one after another.
It’s really gratifying, and you can have an extra bowl with dumplings.
After dinner, the family chatted casually.
"Xiulian, Shaoan tractors have been sold. What have you been busy with recently?"
"During this period, when nothing happens, Shaoan has been following Uncle Junhai out."
"Well, if you follow me and learn more, whether you buy a truck and drive it or open a car repair shop, it will be good."
"Well, Brother Shaoan thinks so too."
"Xiulian, have you ever thought about living in the city?"
"I think I must have thought about it. It's not just me who thinks about it. Hu Zi often has his balls shown off, and he also wants to move to the city."
Although what Dandan did was very much in line with Wang Manyin's wishes, it was not a good thing to like to show off to his friends because he lacked education.
The children at home are becoming more and more ignorant as they grow older.
"I mentioned it to Shaoan, and I don't know if he told you that your family moved to the city and you go to the clothing factory to help Lanhua."
"Yes, Xiulian, you and Shaoan have also moved to the city. I have to be busy at home and in the factory. I am often too busy both inside and outside the house. You have moved to the city, and why?
Can you help me."
Lan Hua said this, of course it was Wang Manyin who taught her.
Of course Lanhua hopes that the whole family can live together, but she has never asked for it.
Wang Manyin suggested that Lanhua help persuade Xiulian, and he easily won Lanhua's support.
"I want to move to the city, but I don't know if Shaoan will agree."
"As long as you agree, Shaoan has nothing to object to. I've already said that tigers can't be allowed to go to school in a livestock kiln. The smell is worse than a livestock shed. How can the baby endure it? Xiulian, you're okay.
, Duo and Shao mentioned the matter of moving to the city."
Shuangshui Village is also strange, even if it uses a livestock kiln as a classroom for the children.
At least one side of the cave dwelling was painted with worthless white ash. It didn’t have any of this. It was really just for raising children and livestock.
"Well, sister and brother-in-law, when I have the opportunity, I will mention to Shao An about moving to the city. However, we have gone to live in the city. What will happen if the three old people don't go? Our dad plans to start spring hoops next year.
Yao, now he and Shaoan are thinking about mining stones all day long this winter."
