077: The Girls Move to Shangdu
Xia Xiaolan is not keen on land, and it makes no sense to build a house in the countryside.
She didn't plan to leave Liu Fen in the countryside. The original plan was to take her wherever she went. The mother and daughter depended on each other and built a big house for Liu Fen in the countryside. Xia Xiaolan was free and unrestrained outside? This was not her original intention to take Liu Fen away from the Xia family.
"Do you think it's better to live in the country?"
Xia Xiaolan's rhetorical question confused Liu Fen.
Liu Fen never thought about whether it was good to live in the countryside, because she had been living in the countryside since she was a child. The marriage is just a change from Qijing Village to Dahe Village, facing the loess and back to the sky, Liu Fen is definitely not doing business or arguing with people, but doing farm work.
The land is what makes Liu Fen feel at ease. If the national policy changes one day and she is not allowed to work as a self-employed person, as long as there is land, the life is hard, and she will not starve to death, right?
After all, even if she made some money recently, Liu Fen still doesn't have the confidence to face the future.
But she is not someone who will reject Xia Xiaolan, Liu Fen can only use Li Fengmei as an excuse:
"If we move to the provincial capital, what will happen to your aunt and cousin?"
Xia Xiaolan also thought about this issue, but she didn't think it was a reason to stop the two from moving. Liu Yong felt that the people in the village would take care of her and Liu Fen, and Xia Xiaolan also admitted this. But she has to be independent sooner or later. It is impossible for her to live with her uncle all her life, right?
"We are going to the provincial capital to do business, and we are not going to transfer our hukou. Now the village has not distributed the land to us. When the homestead for building a house is available, we may also save money in the provincial capital, and just go back to the village to build a house. house."
How can you make money without leaving your hometown?
In this day and age, even if Xia Xiaolan understands agricultural technology and is forced to buy agricultural products at a very low price, she has no idea of planting in the countryside to get rid of poverty and become rich, not to mention she doesn't know anything about farming!
And only to the commercial city, how far is it from Qijing Village?
Xia Xiaolan felt that Liu Fen could adapt to a place where she could run back and forth in one day and her accent did not change.
Isn't Liu Fen also going to the commercial city these days to deliver eels and sell the oil residue?
"Then what do you do when you study?"
"There is a shuttle bus from Shangdu to Anqing County. If I want to go to school, I will take the bus back. It is better than the dirt road from the village to the county seat."
Liu Fen was speechless.
"Go and tell your aunt, I don't have the face to speak."
Liu Fen couldn't find a reason to stop it, and was a little gloomy. Xia Xiaolan immediately changed her tone, "If you really don't want to move, I won't force it, but I have already rented the house in the Shangdu, and they won't refund the money, so I live in the Shangdu by myself, and no one will give it to me. I cook and clean up the house..."
Liu Fen became anxious, "I'll go with you!"
She loves Xia Xiaolan so much, thinking that Xia Xiaolan might be starving and freezing, renting a house alone, others might bully her, so she just follows her regardless.
Poor parents in the world!
...
Li Fengmei was not too surprised to hear that Xia Xiaolan rented a house in Shangdu. Xia Xiaolan's idea is right, and now she has encountered a good opportunity and found a way to make money. What are you doing in the village?
"Your uncle asked me to take care of you. I also think you are a pain in the ass. With your mother living in the commercial capital, I don't have to worry about life, but you have to make sure you don't forget the business of studying!"
Xia Xiaolan made a trip to Yangcheng and made thousands of dollars at one time.
When a college student graduates and works, the money they get a month is the same. The difference is that their life and work are decent and stable. Li Fengmei was afraid that Xia Xiaolan would be fooled by the money she made from reselling clothes. If she thought it was boring to go to university, why would she explain to Liu Yong?
"Auntie, I know the severity."
Li Fengmei poked her in the head, "You take the bike away, but I don't know how to ride it. If I leave it at home, it will rust in vain. People from the village are too embarrassed to refuse it."
The new car that Liu Yong bought is used to carry goods every day, from the commercial city to the countryside. The quality of the bicycle is very good, but the paint on the exterior can not be scratched at all. It has made great contributions to Xia Xiaolan's initial capital capacity. .
Xia Xiaolan will not leave the old bicycle behind, she plans to buy a new bicycle after another trip to Yangcheng, and she and Liu Fen will use the old one for themselves. Li Fengmei was very attentive, and when Taotao didn't go to school, all four of them went to Shangdu.
Liu Zitao was in the provincial capital for the first time and couldn't close his mouth in surprise when he saw several more splendid buildings.
They brought their clothes over by the way today, Li Fengmei and Liu Fen went to buy the quilts, and Xia Xiaolan also took Taotao to do other things. In the two rooms, she and Liu Fen have their own rooms. You don't need to buy a good bed. The money in your hand will also be used to purchase goods. Red bricks are used as the corners of the beds, with an old door panel on top and a thick blanket. A futon is a bed.
Tables and wardrobes are also used items that were eliminated by the Municipal Party Committee Guest House. After paying a little money, Hu Yongcai made the decision and let Xia Xiaolan pick them at will.
After running back and forth several times, the two rooms are slowly tidying up.
Li Fengmei and Liu Fen made the bed and wiped the table, and the two cleaned the house. They both felt that the condition of the residence was really good. The important thing is that it didn't cost much!
"Xiaolan didn't take you to live in the building, and this house is not too far away!"
People in the city have to spend money to do everything, but it's convenient to do everything.
Looking at the toilet at Yu's house, Li Fengmei wondered if her family had also saved money to move to the city.
What she was thinking of was the county seat, and Xia Xiaolan set a very lofty goal for her:
"Schools in the provincial capital are better than those in the county town. If Taotao can go to school in the provincial capital, the gap with children in the countryside will widen."
Li Fengmei was a little moved, "But Taotao has a rural household registration, can he go to school in the provincial capital?"
Xia Xiaolan doesn't know much about this. The methods are all devised by people. If you don't have a hukou, you will not be able to go to school. In a few years, the country seems to be relaxed about the problem of "agricultural conversion". It won't be too difficult either. Before that, Taotao could "borrow" at the school in the provincial capital. With a good foundation, the child is not afraid of where to study in the future.
"crunch-"
Grandma Yu came back with a broom.
"You're back. My aunt came to help move the house today. You didn't eat, right? We made some dumplings."
A little dumpling is not worth much, and grandma Yu is indifferent:
"When you rent a house, you can say that you live with two people."
Grandma Yu is not afraid of renting the house to two rural women, but if one more woman and child are to live in, will there be a man behind? She is an orphan, and she is a family, so Grandma Yu was afraid that she would lead a wolf into the house.
Li Fengmei also saw that Grandma Yu was not easy to get along with, and quickly explained:
"Auntie, I still feed pigs at home, but I don't dare to spend the night in the city."
Grandma Yu didn't ask for the dumplings that Xia Xiaolan and the others left, and went to cook by herself. Li Fengmei really didn't plan to spend the night in Shangdu, there was no one at home, what should she do if she was visited by thieves. The two pigs served me carefully for more than half a year, and Li Fengmei was heartbroken when they were about to be slaughtered and stolen.
It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Xiaolan and Liu Fen wanted to stay at Yu's house tonight, so they took Li Fengmei to the station.
Taotao was reluctant to part with the provincial capital. Everything here is so novel, which is different from the impoverished countryside.
"Sister will pick you up to go to Shangdu sooner or later. You should go home first. You are not allowed to desert in class. The students of Shangdu are amazing. You can't be too far from them."
