Households relocated in the 1990s

Chapter 36 Being Persuaded

But when An Songyu heard the news, she felt like God was helping her.

She was just thinking.

How can I take advantage of this last period of time to get my parents to spend the money that they have not yet used to pay off their mortgage?

Then continue to contract mulberry fish ponds and orchards.

After all, they want to get more compensation during the demolition.

We certainly cannot allow these mulberry fields, fish ponds, orchards, etc. to become as deserted as they are today.

Otherwise, it would be exactly the same as the demolition that Jiangcun had experienced before.

These mulberry trees and fruit trees, which had been planted for at least ten years, all had to be compensated on an acre-by-acre basis.

Even so, the demolition office said that it was a good thing that they left the land idle and did not cut down the mulberry and fruit trees.

As for the fish pond, compensation was paid according to the price of the fish pond.

But there are no fish in it!
For an area like Shuncheng with abundant water resources, the compensation standard is really not high.

Although at that time, An Songyu had already settled in Nanshi and did not have a deep understanding of the situation in the village.

But when I visited my grandmother and uncle's house several times, I still heard a lot of sighs from everyone.

One of them is naturally the call from the village chief this time.

An Songyu was not clear about the details at the time, but he knew that the village chief's decision to have everyone take on the contract did not produce very good results.

As for the orchards, mulberry fields, etc., they were all distributed to each family.

Naturally, it didn't succeed.

After all, nowadays every family in the village is too busy with rural life to have the time to take care of these things.

Although An Songyu's family contracted the Sangji Fish Pond, it seems to be doing very well this year.

It even seems that if we continue to operate, we will be able to make a profit tomorrow.

But whether it is the initial investment or the manpower and material resources required for subsequent management, it is not a small amount.

Who in the village doesn’t know how to make money from Sangji Fish Pond?

Since no one is willing to take over so far, the pros and cons must have been weighed long ago.

Although the orchard looks much easier to maintain than the mulberry fish pond.

But there must be sales channels.

After the mulberry fish pond was abandoned in the village, orchard cultivation could not continue.

It's just that I'm fed up with those fruit vendors who keep lowering the purchase price.

I work hard all year long and take care of the fruit trees more carefully than I do my own children.

After careful calculation, it turns out that it is only enough for food?

This is no different from losing money, who would be willing to take it!

An Songyu only learned these things after staying in the village for the entire summer vacation.

What she had to do now was to ask her parents to be the first to speak out before other people in the village could react.

Otherwise, when her parents know what the villagers think, they might also back out.

On this day, An Songyu, who had not been home once during the entire summer vacation, immediately packed up and rushed to the city as soon as he got home.

In the evening, as soon as Bi Lizhu entered the family area, she heard more than one acquaintance say that her second daughter had returned.

It was: "Lizhu, where is your Ayu going and what is he doing?"

"Why do you look so much darker?"

"Yes, Lizhu, I heard that your Ali already has a partner, right?"

"She's so dark now. If her partner knew about it, wouldn't he be heartbroken?"

"Heartbroken? I can't tell if I really feel heartbroken! Young guys these days..."

"You really are such a fool... stop talking!"

The more Bi Lizhu listened, the more speechless she became.

Even though she had known that some people in the family compound were not good at saying anything nice, she still felt extremely helpless.

But at the same time, she was worried from the bottom of her heart.

Since everyone said that her daughter had become much darker, it must be true.

After all, other people in the family quarters don’t know.

But as parents, An Songyu didn’t come back this summer vacation, so their family went to the village quite often.

It seems like it gets darker every time I see it?
Thinking of this, Bi Lizhu had already walked into the house with the aroma of food.

Seeing her daughter, who was originally fair and rosy-faced, suddenly turn into a healthy wheat color, Bi Lizhu fell silent.

"Mom, you're back?" An Songyu greeted her with a smile showing his white teeth.

Bi Lizhu twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, and turned her head away, not wanting to look at it because it was a bit annoying.

He nodded softly as a response and hurried back to his room to put his things away.

When she came out again, she was able to look directly at her child's healthy skin color, which she had never had before.

After thinking about it, she tentatively asked, "Xiaoyu, are you done with the work in the village?" "Almost!" An Songyu answered carefully while bringing the last soup to the table:

"The only fruit trees in the orchard are in season."

“Dragon fruit is always being picked.”

"Mangoes are nearing the end of their season."

"As for the leftover papayas and bananas, they can be consumed in the village."

“We don’t even need to arrange for people to pick them.”

"Just give everyone in the village a shout, and when someone sees a ripe one, they'll pick it."

Although almost every household in the village grows this thing, the time it matures is not necessarily exactly the same.

After sharing it among themselves and with the addition of the old customers who still stayed in the village, it was almost completely consumed.

"Then do you want to go back to the city and live for a while?" Bi Lizhu's eyes lit up and she asked quickly.

"Go back to the city? That's not necessary!" An Songyu stopped talking.

She originally wanted to bring up the village's call for contracting.

But thinking about the other people at home who are not there.

I'm saying it now, so I don't have to repeat it later.

The person in their family who was least supportive of his big business in Jiangcun happened to be her mother.

Saying this in advance is probably just making things difficult for yourself.

Bi Lizhu didn't know what her daughter was thinking. She got a headache when she heard An Songyu's refusal.

Seeing that my daughter didn't feel anything at all.

Bi Lizhu really wanted to express her disgust out loud.

After thinking about it, she gently reminded him, "Ayu, you've been in the village all the time. Does your... boyfriend have any objections?"

"Tzuyu?" An Songyu was puzzled for a moment, then she remembered that she didn't seem to have explained it clearly to her family.
"He also came to Shuncheng after graduation."

"Tzuyu and I were high school classmates."

"But his family is from the North."

"His parents are originally in the construction industry, and the company he joined during his internship is quite good."

"But that company is so huge, and they have projects all over the place."

"When he went for internship, he was assigned to another city. But their branch office covers a very large area, and once he actually starts working, he doesn't know where he will be assigned."

"So when I graduated, I felt that this was not a good idea, so I just went back to Shuncheng."

The more An Songyu spoke, the tighter Bi Lizhu's brows furrowed:
"Isn't it that he came back because of your influence?"

"What?" An Songyu was helpless. Did her mother really think her influence was so great?
Ok!

An Songyu also had to admit that when they returned to this time before, she and Jian Ziyu did stay in Nanshi.

She entered the First Hotel in South City.

And Jian Ziyu went to the company where he was interning.

Then I started traveling all over the place.

Speaking of which, Jian Ziyu is even more nostalgic than her.

An Songyu has been working at Nanshi Hotel for more than 20 years without leaving.

Of course, the treatment at Nanshi Hotel is one of the best in the entire Nanshi, and it is indeed influenced by Jian Ziyu.

But now, after she made up her mind to come back.

Jian Ziyu gave up the more stable state-owned enterprise and returned to Shuncheng with her.

Although, the company he joined would one day be one of the Fortune 500.

Northland is where it was founded and where the company has been headquartered for many years.

But now it seems that the company where he interned is indeed not as good?

Even twenty years later.

When the entire industry is affected by various factors and begins to shrink.

His current company is no longer comparable to the company he worked for during his internship.

Seeing her daughter's silence, Bi Lizhu said something serious:
"Xiaoyu!"

"You're an adult now. Sometimes, when doing things, you can't just consider your own ideas!"

"Mom, what are you thinking about!" An Songyu quickly gathered her thoughts and gave a rough explanation:
"The company Tzuyu works for isn't bad at all!"

After all, twenty years later, the contraction of the industry and various other reasons led to a significant reduction in its size.

But the glory of these twenty years is real.

Moreover, to do it again...

Even if An Songyu doesn't have any big goals, he at least wants to retire early!
