Chapter 7 The heart-thrilling little daughter-in-law
Regarding the arrangements at home, Li Yuan's request was very simple - just lie down and watch the demolition!
In this poor and remote place, there was no development prospect at all. In the end, almost all the people with connections in the village moved out, leaving only about 100 registered households and more than 30 households with actual residents.
With the continuous loss of population, secondary contracting, third contracting, and N times of contracting have also been carried out here. Each household has been allocated an increasingly larger area, but the economic situation has not improved and has always been below the poverty line.
Of course, those who persevered to the end became winners in life and received a lot of relocation fees in the end.
Since it doesn't work no matter how hard you try, why bother continuing to do it in your hometown?
In fact, after his rebirth, Li Yuan also considered this issue.
If Yutou'ao Village wants to develop, one thing is the investment of large funds. For example, the investment in the later 5A-level scenic spot was as high as more than one billion; the other thing is the traffic situation. You know, by around 2015, here
Two high-speed highways, vertical and horizontal, were connected, and a high-speed rail station was built in the county, which brought a steady flow of tourists.
In other words, there is transportation first, then investment!
It can be seen that reborn people are not omnipotent. Where do you get so much money? Even if you have money, who will build high-speed high-speed rail for you?
It would be better to just muddle along. After a few years, Li Yuan has established himself in the capital and can take his whole family over. As long as he keeps his land registration in the village, he will always have to wait for demolition in the future.
The mother and son were talking when they saw Gu Yuqin humming a tune and carrying a bamboo basket of wild vegetables into the house. When she saw Li Yuan, her eyes lit up and she excitedly showed off: "Yuanzi, you are back. Mom,
Your place is really nice. Look at how many wild vegetables I found, I can eat them for several days. If I can’t finish them all, I’ll make pickles.”
Li Yuan and Zhang Zhen looked at each other and smiled. To be honest, the poverty here is really not about the lack of good food, but the lack of cash!
Yutou Ao Village is built on the lake. The Yutou Lake next to it is rich in aquatic products. When our ancestors named it, it was because you can see dense fish heads in the lake. There are also game in the mountains, and wild vegetables grow everywhere.
All. And it should be admitted that since the distribution of fields to households, staple food can be eaten freely.
To what extent is it even exaggerated? Green, pollution-free wild vegetables are basically used as pig grass, and various aquatic products are basically fed to ducks and geese. Every household will have a few smoked and salted fish, and the villagers do not admit that fish is meat.
?
The key is - it can’t be transported?
No amount of good stuff is of any use.
Later, some villagers were contracted to raise fish on the lake, and they almost lost all their money.
Fish are indeed easy to raise, but transportation costs are astonishingly high, and the mortality rate during transportation remains high. How can we compete with farmers with convenient transportation?
This is like a TV show that Li Yuan watched in his previous life. An old fisherman on the seaside complained with tears: "...In the evil old society, we ate abalone and sea cucumber every day, but the landlords spent a lot of time and often ate pork and mutton...
…”
In other words, this place is much more miserable than the fishermen on the beach.
There are fewer fish resources in the coastal waters, but fishermen can still fish in the ocean or aquaculture in the sea. Hard roads have finally been paved in the mountains, but there are "hunting bans" and "logging bans"?
However, the mother and son were tacitly aware of Gu Yuqin's joyful mood and would not say anything if they saw through it. She was still in a certain excitement period.
"Mom, I bought you cream. I also have the money for you."
"Why buy so many? I don't need the two small ones, and I don't need them. You just need to buy a bottle for Qinqin. I can use some..." Zhang Zhen started her daily chatter.
She still likes the cream that her son gave her.
Zhang Zhen counted out ten more banknotes and handed them to Li Yuan: "Put these 100 yuan away. You already have your own home, and you will live a stable life in the future. Mom doesn't want you to be successful, just stay safe."
.”
Li Yuan handed the 100 yuan to Gu Yuqin. He didn't care about this small amount of money at all, and he had no use for the money.
Although the family is full of debt, Li Yuan still has a lot of money in his coffers, which are all the New Year's money and pocket money he received before. He spent more than 200 to register for the two examinations, and he still had more than 100 left.
In fact, the registration fee for examinations in this era is not very expensive. What is more expensive is purchasing the reference books used for the examination.
If that's not enough, aren't there still manuscript fees that are about to be received? "Tomb Raiders Notes" has been sent out for almost two months, and "The Son-in-Law" has also been sent out for more than a month. News should be coming soon, right?
Gu Yuqin was playing with the cream and the small round mirror in her hand with a smile, when she suddenly found the money handed over to her hand. She couldn't help being slightly stunned, and then accepted it happily.
Zhang Zhen's eyes immediately sharpened, and she glanced at the young couple with a meaningless glance, just like a mother-in-law staring at her daughter-in-law: "Yuanyuan, it's actually okay to stay at home. When your father was here, he only sold herbal medicine here every month.
You can earn more than 300 yuan."
Li Yuan knew that both his parents were hard-working and capable people. Otherwise, just the mountains, rivers, fields, and livestock at home would make them half exhausted.
Moreover, the family's annual income should be around 5,000 yuan, and selling herbal medicine is one of the largest incomes. Because my father often goes hiking.
Although the half-thousand-yuan households in this era are not as prestigious as the 10,000-yuan households in the 1980s, they are indeed good families that can be found anywhere in the country.
But having said that, the upper limit is just that. The glass ceiling formed by the geographical environment restricted the development of Li's father, Li Guodong.
Otherwise, why do you want Li Yuan to go to college so much? Why do you still use your connections to send Li Susu to a home appliance factory?
Just to escape from this harsh environment.
Even if you can't do it yourself, you still have to find a way to send your children out!
However, these more than 300 yuan had already shocked Gu Yuqin: "Mom, so much?"
Don't use the Li family's situation as a criterion. The vast majority of farmers nearby have annual family incomes that do not exceed 1,000 yuan.
"Yuanzi, can you teach me? From now on, you can study in college with peace of mind. I will be at home. I am also very capable." Gu Yuqin asked with hope. She was already excited.
Li Yuan smiled and declined: "Herbal medicine is not available all year round. It only takes seven or eight months at most."
The main reason is that Gu Yuqin is a woman.
"Seven or eight months is already very good. Even if I have no experience, it is already very good to have 100."
"Say it again, say it again! Ahem." Li Yuan laughed.
No matter what, you can't directly dampen your daughter-in-law's enthusiasm in front of her mother. Wait until the two of them are alone together in the evening, and then find a chance to explain in detail...
