Households relocated in the 1990s

Chapter 60 Proposal to Buy a Car

I watched my parents make the decision as they talked.

An Songyu was also a little dazed.

Therefore, during the National Day, she thought that the demolition of Jiangcun had been completed and she had received a huge sum of money.

Is it also due to the contribution of the people in the family quarters?
As for why the parents did not explain in detail.

Thinking about how she felt at that time.

Even after more than 20 years, she still felt complicated when she thought about the demolition of Jiangcun before returning.

An Songyu could understand it all.

After knowing that this was not a problem with her memory, An Songyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although, she also understood.

From the moment she came back.

Whether it's herself or her family.

Even many people related to her and unrelated to her will have their destinies changed.

Her memories of the past twenty years or so could only serve as a reference at best.

Even because I never thought I would experience all this.

There are countless things that were lost in time and that she ignored, forgot, and neglected intentionally or unintentionally.

But An Songyu still doesn't want to forget.

I don't want her memory to really have problems.

The car is going very fast.

After picking up all his children, An Jianping drove towards Jiangcun while sighing.

On the way, he suddenly said, "What do you think? After the demolition compensation comes in, should our family buy a car?"

"Will buying one solve the problem?" Bi Lizhu looked out the window, her tone unclear as to whether it was mockery or... agreement?
The four people in the back row who had just been wildly excited immediately tensed their faces.

An Jianping carefully observed his wife's expression through the rearview mirror.

I found that he was not as angry as I had imagined.

Then he spoke again tentatively: "How many do you think will be enough?"

"How many?" Bi Lizhu couldn't help but raise her voice a little, then glanced at her husband coldly before saying:

"Why, do you want to assign a few professional drivers to your silkworm farm?"

"I only use it every time I collect silkworm cocoons... If it doesn't work out, I can just buy a car like the one Lao Si owns and make more trips."

An Jianping was so disappointed that he almost sighed.

An Songyu and the others watching from behind wanted to laugh.

One particularly interesting thing about their parents is that they usually don't do anything when there are no major events at home.

Bi Lizhu is always the reasonable one.

But whenever there is a big event at home or a large amount of money is spent.

Their mother's status in the family is reflected.

Fortunately, Bi Lizhu has been a city dweller since she was a child, and she never easily denies reasonable spending.

This happened before An Jianping even opened his mouth.

After careful consideration, she said, "As for buying a small car like this...it depends on the situation!"

"Now we still have a Jiangcun to run to."

"After the demolition of Jiangcun begins, will we still have to travel so many places?"

In response to Bi Lizhu's question, An Jianping immediately responded without An Songyu or the others having to answer: "This is the mulberry field!"

"The silkworm house here will be repaired soon!"

"Linhe Village is different from ours. They are only thinking about finding someone to contract out the mulberry fields in the village."

"Although I haven't taken special care of it over the years, it's still much better than the one in our village where it's just left alone."

"So, as long as we finish building the silkworm house, we can continue our silkworm breeding business."

"In fact, the area of this mulberry field is much larger than what we originally contracted."

"Of course, it also includes a mountain!" Bi Lizhu continued in a flat tone.

An Jianping was speechless for a moment. But thinking about the fact that his family could buy a car, An Songlin behind him quickly responded:
"Dad, Mom, we haven't checked out the situation in Linhe Village yet!"

"I heard the reservoir is pretty big? That should be enough to raise a lot of fish!"

"Yes, we can raise a lot of fish! But won't it ruin the previous boss who has contracted the business for ten years?" Bi Lizhu continued to explain the situation truthfully.

However, An Songyu and An Jianping, two people who understood the situation, didn't know what to say next.

Speaking of this matter, Bi Lizhu was not deliberately trying to pour cold water on it.

It's just that she's more accustomed to playing it safe.

This time, the family’s demolition compensation had not yet been received, and new mulberry fields and reservoirs were contracted.

Although the silkworms they originally raised are now not far from making cocoons.

We could have made a little profit this season, but now facing this situation, it is definitely difficult.

But it's better than when I first returned to Jiangcun, with only investment but no income.

However, after raising silkworms at home for more than half a year.

Bi Lizhu is no longer the novice who knows nothing about farming.

It is even more clear that things like breeding and planting cannot be considered income unless the money is in your pocket.

That's why she told her daughter-in-law about her difficulties first.

But, in such an atmosphere.

The family's discussion about buying a car had to be put aside for the time being.

Wait until An Songyu and his group arrived at Jiang Village.

Except for An Songyu who has been in the village recently, they obviously noticed the difference in the atmosphere in the village.

First of all, there are still some unfamiliar faces that you would see as soon as you enter the village.

But if you look closely, you can see that they are not tourists from the city who come to visit the farm stay.

Apart from this, the shops on Jiangcun Street are particularly lively.

Some are in groups of three or five, and some are scattered.

Some were discussing, some were observing.

Look, even though An Songyu and his family were sitting in the car, they were seen not long after they entered the village.

These people don't care about safety.

While greeting, he walked straight towards me.

An Jianping stopped the car helplessly.

He turned around and glanced at his wife and children, thought for a moment, and said:
"Xiaoyu, how about you take everyone to your uncle's or eldest uncle's house first?"

"Where's Dad?" An Songyu looked at the familiar faces outside the window.

I feel like I won't be able to get out of this situation anytime soon.

"It will probably take a while... Don't worry, they should be more interested in the car than me right now." An Jianping said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

An Songyu was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly.

Yes!

In this day and age, let alone a small place like Jiangcun.

Even in Hong Kong, there are not many private cars on the streets.

Even every time she came back from Nanshi.

People always complain about the traffic jam and lack of parking near the silk factory’s staff quarters.

The roads also appear to be exceptionally wide.

It is clearly the same two-way two-lane road that has not changed in the past twenty years.

It would give her such a different feeling.

Isn’t it because nowadays, the number of private cars and public transportation is still extremely limited?

Compared to An Songyu, who had no idea what he was thinking.

The other members of the An family took quick action to show how much they agreed with An Jianping's words.
