Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 704
In Shanghai, a group of villagers from Shimo Village got together. They lived in Jingtian Yayuan, a new building in Puxi, which is on the same street as the one in the capital. The room types are similar, and they have the same elevator room. The same grand layout, the same prime location, and the same prices that most people in the modern city have forgotten and feared.

But the Magic City is a Magic City after all, with a strong sense of commercialization. At the same price and similar room types, the number of units sold in Jingtian Yayuan is nearly [-]% more than that in the capital.

Of course, the folks in Shimo Village have contributed a lot. They have bought about [-] units so far, and with people like Wu Meiling arriving today, there may be another seven or eight units sold.

Because of the frustration of buying real estate in the capital, everyone is planning to invest all their extra money in the capital.

As for why the capital city suffered a setback, it was not only due to the closure of Fulun Yayuan or the dispute over the property rights of the courtyard house, but also because many families felt that their children were not qualified to go to university in the capital city.Moreover, everyone is close to the Magic City. The ideal place to live is, besides the provincial capital, the Magic City.

Because of the geographical location, there is a natural feeling of closeness to the Magic City, and the immigrants in the old Magic City are mainly from nearby areas and have traditions.

Therefore, when buying a house in the capital or the provincial capital, the behavior of the folks in Shimo Village is completely different from that in the capital. Here, you can buy as much house as you want, and as much as you have.

Therefore, Wu Meiling and his family didn't have to worry about a place to live when they arrived in the capital. Each family could provide two spacious rooms for both families.

As soon as the two families arrived, the villagers drove them to the community. All the villagers in Shanghai gathered together and had a feast at a nearby hotel.

From seven o'clock in the evening, we had a lively meal until about ten o'clock, when everyone dispersed and walked slowly along the newly paved road towards their home in Shanghai, talking quietly as they walked.

Everyone is talking about the children's grades, this year's income, and the houses each family has purchased. Of course, the latest construction in the village is indispensable.

The village has money. With the launch of kiwi fruit, the village has a more stable and considerable income. Now the leader Gu Siwei proposes to build a tunnel and establish a new model of the village's collective economy.As for the folks, they naturally raised their hands in approval.

Now in Zhuangzi, to put it more directly, Gu Siwei is the kind who is always right. The villagers are following blindly now, even if Gu Siwei said, everyone took out the money and burned it today, and the money will be useless tomorrow. If you don't, the villagers will do it. Many people won't even keep a penny in their pockets, they are so blind.

Luan Jiangu was chatting with Guo Yonglei when he turned around and found his wife looking straight to the side, so he asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

When he said that, he looked in the direction where his wife was looking.

He saw a few people, two women to be exact, one about sixty years old and one about thirty years old. They were leading a few children. The children were dressed like ordinary children nowadays. The guy was wearing a small green police uniform and a big-brimmed hat. This outfit was perfectly normal for a child.

At first glance, Luan Jiangu thought there was nothing interesting to see. What did a few passers-by see?

"Jiangu, you guys follow up."

Someone in front looked back and saw Luan Jiangu lagging behind, so he gave a warning.

"You go first, it's not like you can't find home," Luan Jiangu replied with a smile.

The people in front turned away and continued talking to the villagers.

Luan Jiangu was about to turn his face away when he realized that the middle-aged woman looked familiar, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

At this time, the middle-aged woman's eyes also fell on Luan Jiangu and the others, but when she saw Luan Jiangu looking at her, she looked away.

Just as Luan Jiangu was about to say something, he felt someone pulling him. When he looked up, he saw that it was his wife.

Xia Tingfang said to Luan Jiangu, "Let's go?"

"That man seems familiar," Luan Jiangu said casually.

Xia Tingfang said: "Let's go!"

With that said, he picked up Luan Jiangu and left.

Luan Jiangu glanced at Guo Yonglei and his wife next to him, and saw that Guo Yonglei had a bit of embarrassment on his face.

He didn't think much, and was just held tightly by his wife for two steps.

Just when he was about to ask his wife why she made him leave in such a hurry, she heard Xia Tingfang say: "That's Xu Sizhen!"

"what?"

At first, Luan Jiangu didn't remember who Xu Sizhen was. He paused and then remembered that Xu Sizhen was his wife's former good friend and Guo Yonglei's last wife.

"Why are you so old?"

Luan Jiangu really couldn't imagine how Xu Sizhen, who used to be so radiant, became what she is now. She used to look much more fashionable than his daughter-in-law, but now she looks like an ordinary middle-aged woman.

Xia Tingfang said: "Why are you so old? With several children, you have to take care of everything in the house. How can I be the youngest?"

"You don't care, but you still look like you're in your twenties." Luan Jiangu flattered his wife.

Normally, Xia Tingfang would definitely be happy, but at the moment she was not in the mood, she just felt that time flew by and things in the world were confusing.

At this time, Guo Yonglei also saw Xu Sizhen. As a former pillow person, Guo Yonglei was much more reliable than Luan Jiangu. With just one glance, Guo Yonglei saw Xu Sizhen.

"Yonglei, what's wrong?" Guo Yonglei's wife thought her husband was a little strange.

Guo Yonglei didn't hide anything, he opened his mouth and said: "My ex-wife!"

"Oh! Why don't you go say hello, and I'll go talk to Tingfang over here," Guo Yonglei's wife said.

At this moment, Xu Sizhen naturally saw Guo Yonglei. She did not dare to recognize him at first glance, because at this moment, Guo Yonglei was dressed in a pictorial, with a small jacket on the upper body, a pair of jeans on the lower body, and a pair of polished leather shoes on his feet. , the hair was combed and shiny, and it was a little reflective under the street lights.

The bigger difference is in temperament. There are also people dressed like this on the streets of Shanghai at the moment, but no matter how you look at it, it seems to be in response to the old saying, no matter how you look at it, a local dog wearing a dragon robe does not look like a prince.

But what Guo Yonglei wears is completely different. Originally, Guo Yonglei looked pretty good, tall and tall. Now dressed like this, he has become a fashionable young man. Although he is already the father of four children, When a man matures, he smells mature.

"Forget it!" Guo Yonglei thought for a moment and shook his head.He said forget it here, but something happened over there.

"What are you looking at!"

The old woman who was with Xu Sizhen was a little unhappy. Seeing the man opposite her looking at her daughter, she felt that this man was too much.

"Mom, forget it!" Xu Sizhen immediately persuaded him. She also recognized Guo Yonglei at this moment. You can imagine how she felt at this moment.

Mother Xu has always been a master who never suffers any loss, so she said to her daughter: "How can I forget it!"

Guo Yonglei looked over and had no choice but to walk over.

"What's going on, do you still want to hit me?"

Seeing the tall Guo Yonglei coming over, the old lady was no less imposing, but her tone of voice was inevitably a bit flawed.

"Long time no see," Guo Yonglei said to Xu Sizhen.

Hearing what the man said, the old lady was a little confused and asked, "Who are you!"

"Hello, aunt, I am Guo Yonglei." Guo Yonglei bowed politely, showing a bit of the flavor of a well-educated young man.

"Guo Yonglei?"

The old lady thought about it two or three times before remembering who Guo Yonglei was.

Now the old lady was misfiring.

However, Guo Yonglei didn't talk much. He just didn't want the old lady to make a fuss at the top of her voice. Didn't you see that everyone who was shopping around was looking this way.

After saying this, Guo Yongyan said: "I still have something to do here, so I'll leave first."

After speaking, he smiled at the two of them, turned around and left.

"Pooh!"

It took the old lady a long time to react and spat at Guo Yonglei's back.

At this moment, Xu Sizhen's mood was as if she had knocked over the seasoning box, and all kinds of tastes were in her heart. The place where she originally thought she would fight to the death, even risking death to escape, turned out to be the most unattainable thing in her life.

Xu Sizhen saw Xia Tingfang, and she also recognized Xia Tingfang. The two families were not too far apart originally. Although they were not in the same factory, they were not that far apart, not to mention that the family areas of the two factories were only one mile apart. , it can be said that many people around us are old friends, and no one knows who they are.

During the time they returned to the city, Xu Sizhen and Xia Tingfang had completely different opinions from the people around them. They both felt that the daughter of the old Xu family was capable. After returning to the magical city, even if she stayed at home without a job, It's better than the countryside. The winner is Xu Sizhen, and the loser is naturally Xia Tingfang.

At that time, Xu Sizhen also believed that she had done the right thing and returned to the Magic City at all costs. As for the price, Xu Sizhen didn't want to mention it. She didn't want to think about the disgusting feeling of an old guy lying on her body.

Later, Xia Tingfang asked someone to deliver rice, food and drink to her natal family, and there was a lot of food and drink. Some people around her still didn't care, saying: I married a rural person, so give this to my father-in-law's family. Forget it.

The person who said this has never thought that he can't eat new rice a few times a month, so he has the nerve to offend others.

At this time, Xu Sizhen went to work, found a temporary job, and got married again, to an ordinary worker who was ten years older than her. She was an honest little person and lived a good life, and it cannot be said that it was not good. It’s just the life of ordinary lower-class people in the magical city.

As for the house, forget about it. Now the couple and their parents-in-law are still crowded into the house where the parents-in-law live. In addition to the parents-in-law, there are also unmarried brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, plus the two children they gave birth to. These people are crowded in How can you imagine how crowded it would be in a sixty-square-meter house?

It didn't matter at first, because everyone was like this at the moment, no one was laughing at anyone.

But this year is different. First of all, a big boss from Hong Kong City came to take land to build a house, and built a place called Google Plaza. This place is called a novelty.

A community was built next to it called Jingtian Yayuan.The house is really well built, but it is a pity that in the eyes of this group of people, they all curled their lips and said: Who is so stupid as to buy such an expensive house?
You may say this, but everyone knows it, and everyone has envy and jealousy in their hearts. I don’t know if they hate it or not.

But what Xu Sizhen didn't expect the most was that her nightmare, Xia Tingfang and his wife, had come.

The next behavior was like pressing Xu Sizhen on the sandpaper of shame and rubbing it back and forth. The couple bought a house, and what they bought was this piece of Sedum Garden that was beyond the reach of everyone.

Not only did he buy it, but he also bought two houses. He said that the two sons in the family would buy two houses. As for the daughter of the family, when she gets married in the village, she can just take a house with her wherever she gets married.

Judging from this statement, it seems that buying a house is easier than buying groceries.

What's even worse next is that Xia Tingfang not only bought it for herself, but also provided a guarantee for her younger brother. She also bought a two-bedroom apartment in Jingtian Yayuan. When her younger brother got married, her brother-in-law gave her a complete set of imported apartments. Home appliances.

I also bought a small two-bedroom retirement home for my father-in-law.

That made everyone around him envious. Some even asked if there were any unmarried boys in Zhuangzi.

However, there are still some people who are disdainful and say: It’s great to have some money!No matter how powerful you are, you don’t have an account in the Magic City.

As a result, a knife stabbed my heart again very quickly. Now you can settle down in Shanghai by buying a house in Shanghai. Unfortunately, whether it is a household registration in Shanghai or the capital, these country people are not impressed at all.

Xu Sizhen's mother gave her old neighbors the answer. In their village, if a child is born, the village will give her $[-] a month in milk powder!Moreover, from primary school to middle school, students in the village not only don’t pay a penny, but even when they go to university outside, the village pays the full tuition fee and reimburses living expenses, and even pays for students studying abroad.

At the age of 60 and up, the village gives everyone a monthly living allowance of 200 yuan.

Why do you think people need a hukou in Modu?

Special... Everyone around Xu Sizhen felt that this was the most heartbreaking thing. The hukou that they had been proud of all their lives turned around and stabbed their hearts.
