The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 88 Preliminary Plan
The tour room is on the second floor, where you can get the first ray of sunshine in winter.

Originally, I wanted to install heating in the entire room, so that people would be much more comfortable in winter.

However, the parents did not agree.

You can only stay at home for a few days a year, and air conditioning is enough. If you install a heater, and the space is so large, the gas bill alone will cost at least [-] yuan in one winter.

Thinking about it when traveling around, I don’t push myself too far. Although it is uncomfortable to turn on air conditioning in winter, it is better than nothing.

Lie on the bed, open the curtains, and turn on the air conditioner.

Look at the white snow on the roof opposite.

There is still music playing on the phone.

It's really pleasant.

I've been back home for the past few days because my life has been too comfortable, so I've been feeling lazy while traveling around.Not wanting to move at all.

It’s New Year’s Eve in the blink of an eye.

Originally, we spent New Year's Eve at our respective homes.But this year I considered that Zhou Youjia’s newly built house is spacious, bright and warm.

Plus they also want to get together and talk about things.

The uncle and his family are five, and the eldest cousin Zhou Guoqin is married and has a son.

The second uncle has a family of five, and the second cousin Zhou Guoqiang is also married and has a daughter.

Both cousins ​​are already married and will probably not be able to return home until the second day of the new year.

There were a dozen people in total, and Zhou You's house was packed to the rafters.

Since my grandparents passed away early, my uncle is currently in charge of the affairs of the entire family.

According to their custom here, there are two tables for dinner in the evening, one for men and one for women, and the children sit at the woman's table.

Since every household prepares dishes for the Chinese New Year, just stir-fry two hot dishes.

Every time I go home and travel, I bring different wines. Maotai, Wuliangye, and Jiannanchun are all available at home. At this time, in the eyes of many people, these three wines are top-notch wines. It was not until later that Maotai became the best.

Zhou You took out a box of Maotai from the storage room and took out two bottles of red wine. However, many people have not developed the habit of drinking red wine yet.

In their opinion, red wine is bitter and astringent and not as delicious as sweet wine.

To be honest, I am not used to drinking red wine when traveling around. Sometimes I boil a pot of rice wine and drink it in winter. I rarely pour red wine by myself.

No matter what, the Chinese New Year is about being lively and festive, with all the wine on the table.

The two little nephews and nieces took off their coats when they got to the room, turned on the air conditioner and ran around like they were having fun.

As usual, when the family is sitting there, the uncle will say a few words first: "It's been another year of hard work. This year, thanks to Xiaoyou, I can eat in such a new house and drink such good wine. When I was working outside, I didn’t even dare to think about it.”

The second uncle looked a little excited when his uncle was talking and raised his glass: "Come on, come on, everyone who is celebrating the New Year should be happy, raise your glass and drink together."

The remaining men, women, old and young, raised their cups together.Zhou You doesn't have much say in this table at the moment, and his companion, who is sitting at the bottom, is silent.Just smiling innocently.

The uncle picked up the cup and drank with Zhou Benzheng: "The third child is enjoying the blessings now. Xiaoyou is capable. He also drives a new car and lives in a new house. It is much better than us working outside."

Zhou Benzheng blushed: "Eldest brother also knows that I don't have much ability. My parents left early. I usually rely on you and my second brother to help me. Now it all depends on Xiaoyou's ability. If he has ability, our old Zhou family can follow him." Get some light"

Their elder brothers were talking, and Zhou You was also chatting with his two cousins.

"What is brother doing now?"

"What else can I do? I used to work at a construction site, but then the whole family left, so I started working in a factory and renting a house there," Zhou Guoqin said, shaking his head.
"Where's the second brother?"

"It's similar to my eldest brother. When he didn't have children, he would travel around on construction sites. But when he had children, he didn't want them to be left-behind children, so he and his second sister-in-law took the children with them and found a job in a factory."

Both of his cousins ​​are a few years older than him. The eldest cousin is three years older than him, and the second cousin is only one year older than him, but both of them look like they are in their 40s or [-]s.

The factory works three shifts, is tortured every day, has irregular work and rest schedules, and the biological clock is completely messed up.

"Now that my child is older and going to school, I am not ready to take him out. Taking him out to school is troublesome. Without a household registration, I can't afford to buy a house outside. Even if I can afford it, I won't be able to settle down there. It's too much work. I’m tired and the salary is low.” The cousin shook his head when he talked about work.

"Xiaoyou is well-informed. When I come back for the Chinese New Year this year, I'm going to discuss it with you and ask you to show us the way. We're not afraid of hardship and suffering. We're just afraid of not being able to make money and delaying our children."

Zhou You listened and knew that this was the current situation in rural areas.

After young people get married, they either give their children to their parents to take care of. Those who are a little more responsible take their children out, but what happens if they are taken out?
But no matter what, for children, being with their parents is the greatest comfort.

"Big brother and second brother, there are very few ways to make money in rural areas. What do you two think? What can you do if you don't go out to work?" Zhou You also wanted to hear their opinions first. Like his two cousins, they are basically the last ones. I'm a migrant worker.

Later, many young people in the village would rather shoot videos at home and do self-media than go out to work.Even if I have to work, I don't go to the construction site. I just go to the factory to stay for a while and then come out after making money.

"I have also observed over the years that there are very few options in our rural areas. You can either open a small grocery store, but you can only make ends meet, or you can build agricultural machinery at home and harvest the land during busy farming periods, but this Only a few months of the year are busy." This is the project that the eldest brother can think of.

"I would like to learn the craft of repairing cars, but unfortunately there is no way. After all, there is no one to do it now that I am older. I also want to see if I can start a breeding business at home. We have fruit trees here, but I don't know if it is possible to grow fruit trees? "The second brother is also confused and doesn't know what to do.

After listening to what they said, Zhou You paused for a moment and said, "Our old Zhou family are outsiders, so we are very united, because only by uniting can we gain a foothold in this village."

"After I graduated, I kept thinking, what can I do in the countryside?"

"First enter the county and start a small business in the county."

"Second, take root in rural areas, rely on mountains and rivers to develop livestock and aquaculture or plant fruit trees."

Zhou You knows the future direction of development. If he can do a good job in livestock breeding, his income will be considerable, especially later, he will have a stake in ByteDance, which has an innate advantage in traffic.

Although the past few years have been difficult, the previous few years have just begun for a normal agricultural cycle.

If he can later invest in Pinduoduo, he will have an advantage in the specialty trading of agricultural products.

It's just that this road is indeed a bit difficult to walk. There is a saying in the countryside: If a family has a lot of wealth, it does not count the hair!

An epidemic disease basically wipes out the whole army.
