Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 346 345 Everyone has their own memories of the old house
The yard of the old house was littered with fallen leaves. Since no one lived there, my mother would usually ask relatives who lived in the town to help look after it and see if the door locks were broken or something.

After all, ever since Lin Zhe became famous, many people have set their sights on this old house. Of course, the locals won’t do that, but there will definitely be some “professional teams” who are interested in it.

After all, the homes of celebrities and wealthy people are the main focus of these gangs, not to mention that Lin Zhe is both famous and rich.

The officials of Shima Town took this very seriously and specially coordinated with the town police station to arrange for the installation of several additional video cameras near Lin Zhe's home. In addition, a special security booth was also set up near Lin Zhe's old house.

This can effectively prevent people with ulterior motives from paying attention and play a preventive and deterrent role.

However, if someone really came, they would probably return disappointed, because everything in the old house was kept intact in its original state at Lin Zhe's request.

Even nothing extra was added. After all, one might not live here once a year, so there was no need to add some high-end furniture and appliances. Everything was the same as in Lin Zhe's memory.

Including the yard, the ground is now covered with fallen leaves. Originally, Lin Zhe has always liked to raise small pets such as fish and turtles. He has always wanted to build a small pond in the yard of the old house, similar to the one in the park. It doesn’t need to be too big, a few square meters will be enough.

But Lao Lin never agreed, thinking that the thing took up a lot of space and he wasn't very interested in it.

So later on, Lin Zhe had no choice but to get a large plastic turnover box and put it in the yard. He didn't keep many animals in it, just threw a few turtles and a group of goldfish in.

Unlike the more expensive turtles now sold in villas in Lincheng County, the ones here are the cheapest grass turtles, bought for a few dollars each, and the goldfish were also bought for fifty cents each.

Because no one has taken care of it for a long time, the water inside has evaporated a lot, and the only way to replenish it on a daily basis is through rainfall.

I walked closer and took a look. Wow, there were not many fish in it. I guess it was all caused by the turtles. But there was nothing we could do. After all, the turtles had nothing to eat in there so they could only eat the fish.

As for fish, they will eat some small flying insects or eggs laid by mosquitoes in the water. Mosquito larvae and mosquito larvae are excellent fish feed.

He came to the door of the woodshed in the yard and opened the unlocked door. Then he found a can of dusty turtle food inside and went outside to sprinkle a handful of it.

Wow, this is real relief food. The turtles fluttered their wings immediately. The few remaining goldfish looked slimmer because they had been hungry for a long time. Now that the food was right in front of them, they bravely rushed to grab the food despite the risk of being eaten.

This scene is quite similar to people. At a critical moment, people are about to starve to death, but no matter how powerful the enemy is, even if the king of heaven comes, they have to eat something to survive.

……

Although he drank a lot at Mr. Wang's house, Lin Zhe was in the mood now and found a pipe under the stairs again. He connected it to the water pipe and started to pour water into the turtle and goldfish when they had almost finished eating.

Raising fish is just like raising people. If they live in a pigeon cage for a long time, various problems will inevitably arise.

For turtles and fish, water is their world. More water means more space for movement, and they will naturally grow more beautiful.

"Okay, wife, turn on the faucet."

After hearing Lin Zhe's words, Yan Xi went to the side and turned on the faucet. Then the sound of running water was heard. The water surface that was almost dry finally ushered in their "rainy season".

……

After seeing the water level rise to a certain level, Lin Zhe asked Yan Xi to turn off the faucet and then took her upstairs.

At that time, the second floor of the old house was the family's residence, the first floor was a storefront rented to out-of-town brothers and sisters who were doing clothing business, and the third and fourth floors were all rented to families from the villages below who brought their children to school in the town.

Lin Zhe thought about this problem at that time. In this world, luck really matters. Being born in the city puts you one step ahead of others. Others have to work hard to buy a house in the city before they can catch up with your starting point.

Being born in a town or a village is a different story. If you are born in a village, it will be what it is like, but if you are born in a town, at least you can rent out your house. With this, many people in the town can live comfortably without having to work.

Although the rent throughout the year is not as outrageous as in the city, it is enough to live on, but who is suffering?

The rent here is for a room upstairs and a shared bathroom on the first floor. Lin Zhe's family pays 2,000 yuan a year in rent. The water is free, from the town's spring water. Electricity is charged separately, and each household has an electricity meter installed.

In the city, houses of the same size and configuration do not even have as good lighting as this one, because there are tall buildings everywhere that divide the sunlight, but the annual rent is more than five or six thousand yuan.

This is the difference. These people who farmed the land suffered a lot in the beginning, and they still have to suffer now. They just gave some sweetness to people in the city, like Lin Zhe.

At that time, Lin Zhe was still thinking that it would be great if his family’s house in the city was a self-built house. If he rented out at least 10 to 20 rooms in such a self-built house, he could earn more than 100,000 yuan a year. That would make him a high-income earner with a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan.

……

Later, Lin Zhe's Zhetong Electric Power was on the rise. Since his parents and he rarely went home, he simply took over all of the business.

Otherwise, there are too many tenants here, and no one is watching over it on weekdays. Over time, it is hard to guarantee that some indecent tenants will not make a mess in the room or yard, or do things that should not be done here.

So the family waits until the lease expires and then takes all the properties back. This is not a big problem for residents with children, as they can just move to another place.

But it is a bit troublesome for the older brothers and sisters living downstairs. After all, they have been doing business here for so many years. Moving away now is not only troublesome, but it may also affect their business.

Lin Zhe's parents felt very bad about this, but they were all decent people and the other party didn't make a fuss. Lin Zhe's family was generous and not only waived the other party's rent for the past six months, but also paid a full year's rent for them after they found a new shop in the town.

In this way, the house became completely empty, and now the second floor is filled with the previous furnishings of the house.

Having drunk too much and feeling a little dizzy from all the work, Lin Zhe lay down directly on the sofa in the old house, then pulled a small quilt from the side and covered himself with it.

This small quilt has been Lin Zhe's own quilt since he can remember. Later, when his sister's child was born, he gave it to his niece. Whenever the family returns to their hometown and it is not too cold, his niece will cover herself with it. It can be said that it has accompanied two generations of people.

Yan Xi was now curiously touring the old house. Many of the furniture inside were very old, and if one took a light sniff, one could even smell the scent of the past.

This may seem insignificant, but when Yan Xi thought that this was where her husband grew up as a child, she felt that everything was full of meaning.

There are also a few ornaments, like something that symbolizes immediate success, which seems to be something that every family in the past had.

Of course, Lin Zhe’s room is indispensable at the end.

Compared with other rooms, Lin Zhe's room looks a bit messy. It is the same as Lin Zhe's at home, a bit sloppy, and there are very few things.

Apart from a bed and a computer desk and chair, there is only a wardrobe. There is nothing else in it. There is just a pile of books and a few small things on the computer desk.

In addition, there are several large boxes in the corner. According to Lin Zhe, his room also serves as the "storage room" of the house.

Hearing this explanation, Yan Xi laughed. It was true that boys were a little rough to raise. In addition, Yan Xi found a lot of shoes and socks under Lin Zhe's bed, most of which were yellowed.

"Eh~ so sloppy."

Then there were a few plastic basins, which were filled with stones and pebbles, and also scattered with aquarium supplies such as water pipes and heaters.

There is no doubt that it was Lin Zhe who was doing this at home.

My own man has avoided twenty years of detours in the area of ​​middle-aged men's hobbies and has reached the destination in one step.

……

After coming out, Yan Xi chatted with Lin Zhe about many stories from the past. Most of the time, Lin Zhe was talking and Yan Xi was listening.

The two of them stayed here, and for Yan Xi, this place felt like home.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Lin Zhe closed his eyes in a daze.

Not to mention, although the alcohol content of Hutu wine is low, it is still more than 30 degrees, which is indeed much higher than beer, red wine, etc. Even though Lin Zhe has always had a good alcohol tolerance, he still got drunk at home.

……

I fell asleep and when I opened my eyes again I didn’t know what time it was. I slept very deeply and comfortably.

"What time is it, wife?"

After hearing the voice, Yan Xi poked her head out from the kitchen. Her hair was tied up, and she looked a bit like a beautiful girl from a small family.

"It's half past six. You slept so soundly. I'll cook some noodles for you."

When Lin Zhe fell asleep, Yan Xi had already finished cleaning up the kitchen. Although she hadn't cooked for a long time, it was still very clean. After all, Jiang Lan would clean the kitchen every time before leaving.

It's just because it hasn't been used for a long time, so there's some dust on it. Just sweep it and rinse it with clean water.

Yan Xi also went to the nearby store downstairs and bought a few packets of instant noodles.

It’s not convenient to buy groceries and cook, so it’s better to cook instant noodles. Lin Zhe can drink the instant noodle soup to sober himself up.

……

Not long after, a fragrant smell came, and Yan Xi had already come to Lin Zhe with two bowls of instant noodles. The bigger bowl was for Lin Zhe, and the smaller one was for her.

I stood up and moved around, feeling much better. Then I ate a few mouthfuls of instant noodles and a sip of soup, and the effect of the alcohol seemed to have gone away.

Lin Zhe enjoyed the meal very much and felt extremely satisfied.

That's how instant noodles are. Anyone who has eaten them will miss them after not eating them for a long time. And instant noodles that are cooked are several levels more delicious than those that are soaked.

Not to mention that Yan Xi also added some green vegetables in it. As for the green vegetables, he just picked some tender leaves from his own yard.

Lao Lin was not happy about raising fish and turtles in the fish pond, but he had no complaints about his wife's small vegetable garden. His mother would put some vegetable seeds in the garden, turn it over and apply fertilizer when she came back from time to time.

Although I haven't been back for a long time, the vitality of this green vegetable is still quite strong. It has no fertilizer or care, and it grows quite well just by replenishing some water on rainy days.

This kind of dish is really a gene engraved in the bones of the Long people. Even after moving to a villa in the county town, my mother Jiang Lan still maintains this habit.

Moreover, because there is Lin Zhe's big fish pond in the yard, the turtles and fish eat a lot and excrete a lot in the summer. After a few days, water can be pumped from the filtration and sedimentation tank to irrigate the vegetable fields.

That thing is the best fertilizer. The vegetables at home grow green and look very healthy.

……

After eating, Yan Xi took care of Lin Zhe. Knowing that he was not feeling well after drinking, she did not let him move. She first washed the dishes and put them in order. Finally, she took Lin Zhe, locked the door, and went out together.

Before leaving, Lin Zhe went to take another look at his turtle pond. He had already added water to the turtles, so they must have been thrown here.

But after looking at Lin Zhe, he still wanted to change their environment. He had moved into the villa for so long, and now he might as well move them into the city, into a big villa.

The fish pond at home is really big, more than 20 square meters. After getting used to living in this small place of less than one square meter, I can feel like there is a vast ocean with plenty of room for fish to swim wherever I go.

Seeing Lin Zhe's absent-minded look, Yan Xi knew what this guy was thinking without even thinking about it. He immediately looked around the yard but couldn't find it, so he went upstairs and brought down a few more plastic bags.

"Okay, take it home. You can eat one meal here and then another."

"Okay~"

Yan Xi had said it, so Lin Zhe quickly fished out all the turtles, then put water in the plastic bag and fished the fish in to take away.

……

On the way back, Yan Xi drove again and Lin Zhe sat in the passenger seat.

Yan Xi drove very steadily for more than half an hour, but of course the price he paid was that he drove very slowly. It took him more than fifty minutes to get home.

When they got home, Jiang Lan had already prepared some food for him. After learning that the boy had eaten it, she didn't say anything.

As for the turtle and goldfish that Lin Zhe brought back, he immediately warmed the water and threw them all into the pond. The fish and turtle were stunned for a moment. They probably never thought that they could live in a big villa in their entire lives.

My parents are here and someone can feed me every day.

……

Lin Zhe maintained this state for the next few days, relaxing at home for a few days, and then it was time to return to Binhai.
