Households relocated in the 1990s

Chapter 105 Xinmin Village

"It's just that the villagers are used to burying their ancestors together, and they also hope that we and our descendants will not be separated even after death."

"So, we simply communicated with the brigade headquarters and, in exchange for rebuilding the ancestral hall, set aside a portion of the hill behind it as a new cemetery for our two families."

"I heard that the elders of the two families in the village worked hard for a long time to make this happen."

"Then, Lin Village also belongs to the Xinmin Brigade?" An Songyu asked with a little hesitation.

An Jianning shook his head slightly: "Although Jiangcun and Lincun are adjacent to each other, they are actually completely unrelated."

Seeing An Songyu and the others' eyes widen instantly, An Jianning's smile deepened.

But before she could speak, An Jianjia spoke first:

"It is because of this demolition that the two villages seem to be tied together."

"In fact, Jiangcun and Lincun are directly under the jurisdiction of two brigades."

"Their Lin Village is called Xinqiao Brigade."

"It's one of the nearest villages on the edge of Rongdi."

"But Lin Village is the village farthest from Rongdi in the entire Xinqiao Brigade."

"Now that everything has been demolished, the Xinqiao Brigade no longer exists."

"As for our Jiang Village, it belongs to the Xinmin Brigade."

"The entire Xinmin Brigade is composed of nine member groups."

"Our Jiang Village is the closest to Rongdi, and should be called Xinmin No. 1 Community."

"Unlike Xinqiao Brigade, our Xinmin First Commune was the first village to be demolished by the new Xinmin Brigade."

“It is also the only village being demolished now.”

"So now, we are in the Xinmin Brigade?" An Songyu looked outside the ancestral hall.

They had indeed seen quite a few strangers on their way here.

The way they looked at the group of people was so envious that they almost burst out.

But An Songyu has seen such looks many times recently and never thought of this.

An Jianjia nodded: "Our surnames An and Jiang are actually common surnames in the Xinmin Brigade."

"I heard that the land where we lived in Jiangcun was not suitable for human habitation because it was low-lying and had many rotten ponds."

"It was the ancestors of the Jiang family who brought people to open it up."

"Later, seeing that there were more people who could be supported there, some of us with the surname An also moved there."

Speaking of this, An Jianjia also felt a little awkward.

You rarely hear arguments about this nowadays.

But she was still unmarried during those years in Jiangcun.

Almost every major event happens during the Chinese New Year or other festivals.

As long as the Jiang and An families are together, such old stories have been repeated many times.

An Songyu has been back to the village for a short time and has never heard of such a statement.

However, An Jianjia didn't want to say much, so he continued with the original topic, "So after the ancestral halls of our two surnames were rebuilt, they have always been here in the brigade."

"It's just that this time our village was demolished, and there was another additional resettlement fee."

"We just renovated the ancestral hall after discussing it with the brigade and the elders of the clan."

“Even the cemetery in the back didn’t exist before.”

"But the location of the ancestral hall originally had quite a lot of space."

"After we divide the cemetery this time, they will be able to be buried there in the future, and no one will object."

The ancestral halls of the two Anjiang families were built almost adjacent to each other.

It is also surrounded by a small hill that is not too high.

Moreover, in addition to the ancestral halls of the An and Jiang families, there seemed to be other surnames around.

But compared to the newly renovated and expanded Anjiang clan ancestral hall, their presence is almost non-existent. And the small hill behind the two clan ancestral halls was previously empty.

Nowadays, the part right behind the ancestral halls of the two surnames has been divided into the new cemetery of the Jiang'an and An surnames.

It seems that An Songyu and her sisters are quite curious about the Xinmin Brigade.

An Jianning simply took a few people to check out the situation nearby.

Although the two ancestral halls of Jiang'an are a bit remote, you can see the brigade headquarters after walking along the obviously newly built road for a while.

In addition, there are brigade primary schools, etc.

But compared to the prosperous Jiangcun Street, this place does have the tranquility of a small village.

There is only one store, a medium-sized grocery store.

When An Jianning took An Songyu and others to buy water, someone asked them if they came from Jiangcun.

Even at the Xinmin Brigade headquarters, there was no one who was not familiar with the people coming and going.

Although Jiang Village belongs to the Xinmin Brigade, most villagers have hardly ever been to the village inside.

An Jianning's generation was not so bad. Among the friends who grew up together, there were always a few who were from the same team.

Even when I was a child, I went to elementary school in Xinmin Brigade.

When it comes to the younger generation, not to mention An Songyu and his two brothers and sisters, who all grew up in the city.

Even An Songyue and her brother, who grew up in the village, chose a place with better educational conditions.

Instead of continuing to travel back and forth to the Xinmin Brigade.

Night was almost falling.

An Jianping and others, who had been busy on the mountain for almost the entire day, finally came down from the mountain.

The people of Jiangcun, who had accomplished this great task, left the brigade headquarters together.

Seeing five cars driving out together, many people in the group felt extremely complicated.

This is simply a blessing from heaven.

It’s really a good deal for those people in Jiangcun.

Compared to most people who have not moved out of Jiangcun, An Songyu and his group are in more trouble.

After returning to the village, they could only say hello briefly to the people they knew before heading back to the city.

After being dropped off at the entrance to the family quarters by An Jianan, An Jianping couldn't help but bring it up again:
"I think our family needs to buy a car too."

This time, Bi Lizhu had no intention of objecting at all.

In the evening, the whole family finally finished their work and gathered together again.

The village committee has already reminded us in the car today.

Regarding the use of village public resources to establish a logistics company, a conclusion must be reached as soon as possible.

After all, if you really want to set up a logistics company, there are still a lot of things to do.

Don't take advantage of the fact that most people are still in the village.

Wait until everyone really moves out.

It’s really not that convenient to get everyone together at once.

In fact, the whole family had already had ideas about this matter.

After An Songyu finished the meeting in Jiangcun, he came back directly and told his family.

It’s just that they haven’t filled out the opinion form yet.

Now that it was handed to everyone, including Anshun and the two old people, they all filled it out without hesitation.

Wait until all the opinions are returned to An Songyu again.

Seeing everyone agreeing, An Songyu was not surprised at all.

The next morning, An Songyu and Yuan Qionghua met to send both sides' opinions back to the village.
