Leftover Girl's Neverland

Chapter 176

Liu Jiajia has been working in Zhoujiazhuang for more than a year, but her parents have never been here.Because during weekends and holidays, Liu Jiajia will go home directly, and during the Golden Week and winter and summer vacations, she will travel abroad with her parents.Therefore, her parents are very curious about this Zhoujiazhuang that their daughter has been talking about all day long. They have seen a lot of pictures and videos. It’s just one of them. It’s not unusual to have mountains, springs, and farmhouses. There are many villages like this around the spring city.

After they got out of the car, they actually walked on the road in the village, only to realize that the village here was really different from the village they had imagined. Needless to say, Meng Zhen's family, after more than a year of operation, her yard can already be used as the home of Zhoujiazhuang. Model home is up.Even the other homes are new houses with red bricks and red tiles, and the air is full of the fragrance of soil, flowers and plants.

For Zheng Jian himself, the two elderly people are very satisfied. The young man is energetic, motivated, and has a good education. He is the same age as his daughter.His family conditions are also good, his parents are both retired, so there is no burden.Although I have a little brother who is just full moon, my sister can do it too.Meng Zhen's "Meng Fu Cuisine" is very famous in Quancheng. Although she and Zheng Jian are not siblings, according to Liu Jiajia's observation, Meng Zhen treats Zheng Jian very well. Will not stand idly by.

He has a house, can afford a car, and has a good career, but he is a bit entangled with his rural household registration, but when they stood in Zheng Jian's yard, they found that there is nothing wrong with rural household registration.At least such a big house can't be bought in the urban area without two or three million yuan, not to mention that Zheng Jian still has more than 300 acres of mountain land under his name.

"Auntie, look, I contracted this mountain area for more than 90 years."

Zheng Jian led the two elders to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, then to his own yard, and finally to the chicken farm.

"Oh, that's right. In the future, the children and grandchildren will also have an estate. How many pheasants have you raised?"

They are no strangers to mountain eggs, they are sold in supermarkets, and when they went to the southern mountainous area to play, they also bought them at the farmhouse there.Ordinary eggs cost [-] yuan per catty, while pheasant eggs can be sold for [-] yuan per catty.Look at the mountains full of pheasants, if they all lay eggs, well, they will earn a lot of money.

"Well, at first it was 2000 eggs. Later, I hatched [-] eggs myself, and succeeded in more than [-]. Now the chicks have grown up and can be raised on the mountain. In this way, there is no need to deliberately prepare feed. Hehe, besides, the eggs laid by free-range pheasants are better. Let’s try it at noon, the first batch of chickens I raised have already laid eggs.”

"Okay, hehe, Xiao Zheng, it seems that life in the countryside is more leisurely than in the city!"

Liu's father strolled around and saw a lot of old people and idlers gathered in the activity center for the elderly, playing cards, listening to operas, and drinking tea and talking about the mountains. It was more lively than the community in the city.

"Well, we have also experienced it since we came here. When we were in the county, the houses we lived in were all high-rise buildings. The small space was like a matchbox, and it was rare to see a little dirt. After coming here, the air is fresh, and the space It’s big, hehe, my yard hasn’t been tidied up yet, and Jiajia said she wants to change it into a two-story villa, so I think it’s okay!”

Building a small villa here will only cost a person's labor and material costs, plus the later decoration, it will cost 10 yuan, but if the money is put in the urban area, let alone a small villa, it will be less than [-] yuan. Baiping's off-plan houses are not enough to pay the down payment.

"That's right, Dad, I've made up my mind. After our affairs are settled, we'll start to build the house again. Hehe, I have designed the blueprints. The small European-style building has the same courtyard as my sister's house." Put flowers, plants and fruit trees, when the time comes, there will be more rooms, you can come and live too!"

When Liu Jiajia mentioned her idea, her eyebrows were beaming. What’s wrong with the countryside? Those students who stayed in the urban area don’t even need to buy a house. They can’t save much money after paying their monthly salary and rent. They want to buy a house without relying on family support. It is simply a luxury.Oh, of course, except for those who are juniors.

"Hey, you girl, why don't you know how to be ashamed, really, it's a set routine!"

Mother Liu took a closer look and agreed with the marriage very much in her heart, but her daughter's look of wanting to get married right away still made her lose face.

"Hey, Mom, we're not outsiders, what's the point of talking about those nonsense. Right, Dad?!"

Liu Jiajia held her father's arm and said coquettishly.

"That's right, you kid, you've had your own ideas since you were a child. Okay, we've been around for a long time, let's go back first. Since you want to get married so much, I have to have a good talk with my in-laws."

Liu's father nodded his daughter's forehead lovingly. After this investigation, he was also very satisfied.Hey, the countryside is the countryside, anyway, it’s not far from the city. After my daughter gets married, they can buy a car. At that time, it will only take an hour to drive to the city.Moreover, according to her daughter's plan, a new house was built with many rooms, and the old couple can live here in the future.

"dad……"

Liu Jiajia's family of three and Zheng Jian returned to Meng Zhen's house together. Since they are all satisfied, they should quickly settle the marriage so that they can prepare the dowry.

Han Chunyan is also very satisfied with Liu Jiajia. The little girl is not very old, but she is very sensible, and she is also a teacher, educated and polite.After her son marries a daughter-in-law, he will be able to settle down, and she is worthy of Zheng Jian's own father.

"Hey, what about the dowry gift? Although we live in the countryside, we still follow the urban rules."

Dad Meng was also very happy. He and Dad Liu sat together to discuss the specific details.Today is May [-]st, and the two old people are inclined to get engaged on May [-]th. The day is good, and it is the weekend, and relatives and friends have time to come.

"Hehe, that's good, I think so too. According to our habit here, the house is prepared by the men's family, and the furniture and appliances are prepared by our women's family..."

Ms. Liu and Han Chunyan were also sitting on the sofa discussing in a dignified manner. On the one hand, they are the only child and do not want to treat the child badly. On the other hand, it is the first wedding event, and they also want to handle it well.The two families reached an agreement, first get engaged, and then get married on June [-]st. The wedding is a big deal, and the money is not bad.

Liu Jiajia and Zheng Jian were embarrassed to listen to the old people's negotiation, and the two of them huddled together under the pomegranate tree outside the yard and whispered affectionately.

Meng Zhen looked at his little brother alone. Xiao Beibi was almost two months old. He was well nourished and well cared for. He looked much stronger than other children of the same age.

"Ah, ah"

Being hugged by the elder sister, he was restless, the chubby hand kept grabbing, bubbles were bubbling from the bright red mouth, and he didn't know what to say.

"Auntie, Auntie!"

After more than ten days of getting along, Xiaolang has also adapted to life in Quancheng. Although he still thinks of his grandfather often, his grandfather said before leaving that he would be able to pick him up next year at the earliest.

Grandpa never lied to himself, so after a short period of adaptation, he also began to like this simple mountain village.

"Well, Xiaolang is back, is there anything rare in the square?"

During the May Day holiday, the resort launched a series of activities, such as agricultural temple fairs in the square during the day, open-air barbecues at night, fishing competitions, and water parks.The temple fair in the square started early this morning. Children love to be lively. As soon as Xiaolang heard the movement outside, he ran out after talking to his family.

"Enn, there are all kinds of snacks, calligraphy and paintings, and antiques. By the way, there are also rings, magic tricks, and juggling!"

He was holding several skewers of barbecued meat in his hand, and his face was covered with oil.

"Hehe, it's quite lively!"

Meng Zhen turned to him and took out a wet towel and handed it to him, asking him to wipe his hands and face.

"Well, there seems to be more in the afternoon, hehe, Xiao Shunzi and I have agreed to shoot balloons in the afternoon!"

"Okay, I'll go and have a look when I have time!"

Seeing his excited look, Meng Zhen couldn't help but think back to last year's temple fair, alas, a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

After lunch, Liu Jiajia's parents went to visit the scenic spots in the resort. The marriage has been discussed and all the details have been finalized. The rest is custom-made furniture and buying appliances.

"Bet on green skin, try your eyesight, try your luck!"

Zheng Jian and Liu Jiajia walked in front arm in arm, and Meng Zhen followed alone. There were rows of small stalls on the square, a bit like street stalls in a cultural market.Those who sell antique calligraphy and paintings, those who sell emerald and jade, and those who sell all kinds of handicrafts, all kinds of gadgets are dazzling. Meng Zhen has not been shopping for a long time, and he has a lot of small things in his hand.

"Bet on green skin? What bet on green skin?"

Meng Zhen wandered to a stall with piles of green-skinned walnuts on it. Two men in their 30s, one wearing gloves to peel the walnuts, the other holding a caliper and waiting to measure the data.

"These are wild hickory nuts. There are 50 yuan for a pair, [-] yuan for a pair, and [-] yuan for a pair. If you are lucky and get Wenwan walnuts with good quality, you can give them away. Hey, did you see, just now this person bought a one-for-one hundred, it seems like a bet, two walnuts can't make a pair!"

The people next to him heard Meng Zhen's question and explained quietly.

Gambling green leather?Bet on walnuts?Chinese people are really strong in gambling, how can they bet on anything? !
Meng Zhen watched curiously, her eyes swept over the green walnuts on the floor.She has heard of Wenwan walnuts, and she has seen them when she was in BJ, and there are also players who specialize in collecting walnuts.

"Hey, brother, don't tell me, an old man bought three pairs from me just now, and one pair was a rare 'lion head' and sold it for 1000 yuan on the spot..."

The boss saw that someone was picking walnuts, so he began to talk about successful cases.There are many people around his stall, but there are not many people who actually buy it. On the one hand, playing walnuts is relatively new to the people here. On the other hand, any gambling requires someone to be a successful example.

"Okay, just this pair!"

"Ah, all right! Open it?"

The boss charged 100 yuan, and after obtaining the consent of the customer, he took a knife and pliers and began to peel the walnut green skin...

Walnuts are usually ripened in August and September. For the sake of the plot, they were brought forward three or four months. O(∩_∩)O~ It’s the end of the month. Dear friends who have tickets in hand, can you give the tickets to a certain woman? !
