Li Fengmei is also a fiery character.
When she agreed to partner with Xia Xiaolan, she flew to the commercial capital with one heart.
Grandma Yu doesn''t want a new tenant. Xia Xiaolan must find a house for her uncle''s family of three. Hu Yongcai''s wife is familiar with this matter.
"Don''t be too far away. Bungalows and buildings don''t matter."
Hu Yongcai''s wife was very impressed. "Are you all going to move to the city?"
Xia Xiaolan nodded modestly: "life in the countryside is difficult. It''s easier to make a living in the commercial capital."
Liu Yong and Xia Xiaolan have money in their hands. Otherwise, who dares to leave the land at home and bring their family into the city? Urban people don''t live like rural people who can produce and sell themselves. They have to spend money on everything. They can''t live on empty land for a long time. They can only force people into the city to make money desperately.
The word "migrant workers" is not popular yet. A very few migrant workers go south. The self-employed households in the commercial capital still live in the city. Xia Xiaolan and Liu Yong were the first batch of farmers to make a living in the city in the 1980s.
Hu Yongcai''s wife envies the courage of Xia Xiaolan''s family. Not many farmers leave their fields in the city to make a living these days.
The self-employed made a lot of money, and no worker lost his job to set up a stall.
What a shame for the self-employed. Besides, there is a risk of losing money in the wind and rain. The wage earners keep their income in drought and flood, live a stable and moist life, and the wages of some units are not very high, and the welfare is good! Food is used for everything, from housing to home, children go to school, and children''s schools can go from kindergarten to high school... The workers in the unit have a nourishing life, and people have been abandoned. Later, there was a large-scale wave of layoffs, and the old iron rice bowl should start from scratch.
When people are middle-aged, they start from a stall vendor, which is more sad than those who take the initiative to break out like Liu Yong.
Of course, Hu Yongcai''s wife can''t see so far now. She praised her and asked her to give up her stable job to become a self-employed?
Hold on when you''re full!
Finally, the room shown to Liu Yong is not far from Grandma''s house. It is a suite in the building and belongs to the dormitory of Shangdu Railway Bureau.
We all lack houses to live in, and those who can take out houses to rent must be people with their own ways. Xia Xiaolan went to see the house. The bathroom is shared on the same floor. The kitchen is independent. The room is added with a small living room. It is not a standard "one and a half"... The house pattern in the 1980s is completely different from that of later commercial buildings. The room type in the 1980s is a small living room. The living room is a place to eat. Unlike commercial houses, each room is small, It''s nice to have a big living room.
The rent of the house is only 15 yuan a month. The homeowner is too lazy to call home every month. He hopes to receive a year''s rent.
Xia Xiaolan wants to look for another room. There is only one room. It''s inconvenient for her uncle''s family of three.
Li Fengmei was very satisfied, "just put a small bed in the living room!"
Hu Yongcai''s wife was also surprised, "don''t they all live together? Pull a curtain in the big room and go to bed. Your family is still a boy."
If everyone doesn''t live together, there will be plenty of housing in the commercial capital. In places like Beijing and Shanghai stock market, there are families with one room, and men, women, old and young don''t all sleep in Datong shops.
Besides, it''s hard to find many houses at present. It''s in units such as the Railway Bureau. Young people can get dormitories when they go in, so they can have free houses to rent... If they don''t start quickly, the rent of 15 yuan a month is not cheap, but there are always families with tight housing.
Taotao also hurried to finish the borrowing. Thanks to the "colorful butterfly" cigarette left by Zhou Cheng, this gift was too face-saving. Hu Yongcai led the bridge, Liu Yong sent several cigarettes, invited guests to dinner in the state-owned hotel, and went through the borrowing formalities at the nearby primary school.
What''s wrong with rural Hukou? Rural people are not allowed to have money?
Li Fengmei also keeps two pigs and asks the butcher in the village to kill them. The people in Qijing village feel rare:
"Before the new year, Yongzi''s family killed pigs?"
"The two pigs in his family didn''t feed less oil residue, and they were very fat when they went out in advance. Are they more than 180 kg?"
"It''s a pity that if you feed it for another two months, there will be 200 kg!"
200 kg fat pigs are not common. Pigs that don''t eat feed grow slowly. Only 200 kg pigs can produce three finger thick fat. The housewife in charge of the stove can buy such a piece of meat, but it takes a long time to be proud.
With the help of several villagers, they tied the pig''s four feet and carried it to the bench. The experienced butcher stabbed it in the neck, and the white knife went into the red knife. Put water and salt in the basin, and spray hot pig blood into the basin, which will slowly condense into pig blood.
Fresh pig blood is a good thing. In the north, it is customary to stew blood filled intestines with pickled vegetables. The famous eating method in Shu is fat intestines and blood. In Anqing, it is fried with shallots.
After the pig''s blood is drained, scald the skin and shave with hot water.
The butcher took his helper and quickly picked up a pig. The Liu family''s pig didn''t weigh 200 kilograms, and it wasn''t far away.
Red meat, white fat, people watching the excitement can''t help drooling.
"Do you sell Yongzi''s meat?"
It''s all from the same village. Liu Yong can''t sell everyone at a high price. It''s rare to see oil meat on the table. He cuts two kilograms of meat home to satisfy his greed.
"Sell, why not sell!"
Liu Yong wanted to sell the two pigs whole. Li Fengmei said it was not cost-effective. In addition, she had to save some meat at home. Then kill both pigs, give away those who should be given away, sell the excess meat, and try to maximize the value of the two big fat pigs fed hard.
After killing the pig, the people in Qijing village knew that Liu Yong was going to move to the city with his wife and children.
"It''s all for the bastard at home to go to school!"
Liu Yong explained that the villagers were skeptical.
Have you made a fortune?
The family''s fields were ignored and directly entrusted to other families to plant them.
Liu Yong is really not rich, but Liu Yong is looking forward to getting rich. If he doesn''t leave the backward places, what can he rely on to get rich!
After handling the pigs and poultry at home, Liu Yong and his family moved to the commercial capital with some pork and luggage. On the day Liu Yong left, Chen Wangda''s eldest daughter-in-law really broke her heart:
"The Liu family is too strong!"
Earn some money and no one asks you to borrow it. As for moving to the provincial capital?
It''s easy to rent a house. It doesn''t cost money in the city. I don''t know if the Liu family can take it out when they pay public grain and retention money next year.
"Chen Qing said he would divide the land for Liu Fen''s mother and daughter. People have moved to the provincial capital. Is it rare?"
Boss Chen was impatient. "Why do you care so much? You take our father down and become the village head yourself?"
Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes.
When she loves to worry, isn''t she also rowing things for the family? It is said that Liu Yong''s family has made a lot of money. Sister-in-law Chen thinks of the telegram as thick as a letter and the letter of introduction from Xia Xiaolan to Yangcheng. She suspects that Xia Xiaolan has a good partner. The rich is not Liu Yong, but Xia Xiaolan. One person has the virtue of chicken and dog rising to heaven, and even his uncle''s family has been promoted.
Hateful Liu''s baby is hard to coax. He ate a lot of fruit candy. He asked his cousin what she was doing in Yangcheng.
Bah, the ability to pretend to be stupid is inherited from the family.
Once upon a time, sister-in-law Chen was mostly kind to the Liu family and Xia Xiaolan''s mother and daughter. I don''t know when she slowly changed her attitude - maybe at first she was the daughter-in-law of the village head. Chen Qing''s conditions were very outstanding nearby. She was a high pick for Chen Qing. When people are in an advantageous position, they can have compassion and compassion. In the twinkling of an eye, Xia Xiaolan was so poor that she didn''t need help. She was even better than Chen Qing. Sister-in-law Chen''s pity was unbalanced.
When Liu Yong brought his wife''s belt into the city, Zhou Cheng, who was far away in the capital, really reported.
When he arrived in the capital, he even asked Kang Wei to handle the goods. He sent a telegram to Xia Xiaolan, and he was recalled to the army.
"Oh, our major Zhou is finally willing to come back."
