"Brother! How can I afford a house in Yunhai City? I've heard that those newly built buildings are basically 2,000 yuan per square meter, and my monthly salary can't buy 1 square meter! 2,000 yuan is only bought over there for one square meter, which is the size of a floor tile. If we take 2,000 yuan back to our hometown, we can build a two-story building, and we won't be able to spend it all!" Wu Jingsheng said.

"Big cousin, you have to take a long-term view, there is no comparison between our hometown and Yunhai City. Let me tell you the truth, the reason why I promised my uncle and eldest sister to study in the company and help them do what they can is that I am optimistic about the development of the construction industry. Have you been outside lately? Is Yunhai City full of construction sites?

Recently, I learned that most of those construction sites are factories and dormitory buildings. What does this mean? It shows that in the future, Yunhai City will be industrialized, and a large number of foreigners will flock to the city to work. What is the first problem to be solved when people come? It's a problem of food and housing, right?

Those who have just come here can live in the dormitories provided by the factory. What about the future? What about the bosses who run factories and the people who make money in the factories? They can't all go back to their hometowns to build houses, right? Do they want to buy houses in order to improve their living standards and to be able to develop in Yunhai City for a long time?

If there are more people who buy houses, the value of the house will appreciate, and more commercial houses will be built in Yunhai City. Therefore, after the completion of the airport, you will all participate in the construction of commercial housing, as well as participate in municipal construction. As long as you want to do it, you can do it until you retire. Do you think it's necessary to make a home in Yunhai City?" Lu Yao asked.

"I really didn't expect it! You can see so long-term! No wonder A-Ying and the big boss appreciate you so much? It turns out that you are a talent who does great things! Okay, I listen to you, after returning to Yunhai City this time, I will go to those newly built real estate projects to have a look, and if there is a suitable one, I will buy a set. Wu Jingsheng said happily.

"You don't necessarily have to buy a building, if you have a suitable foundation, you can build your own house! You have been to the small building that my eldest sister built in Fuwei Village! A few years ago, when I was just preparing to build an airport, my uncle bought a piece of land in the village to build it by himself. Lu Yao said.

"Okay, now I'm doing site management and have time to go outside. When I got back, I made an appointment with the boss, who was familiar with people in several villages near the airport, and he had a motorcycle, so he asked him to take me to ask. If I can buy a foundation, I'll build it myself. Wu Jingsheng said.

"The advantage of self-built houses is that they are more flexible, and they can build more or less according to their economic strength at the time, and they can build both buildings and bungalows. Lu Yao said.

"I understand! I will listen to you in the future, I must not be wrong!" Wu Jingsheng said with a smile.

At three o'clock in the morning the next day, Lu Yao and Wu Jingsheng finally returned to their hometown after more than two years of absence, and they were already standing on the dam of Lu Yao's old house.

Although it was night and the moon in the sky was obscured by the towering trees in the west, with the help of the unmelted snow, you could clearly see a row of imposing brick houses standing next to the old house.

Today is the day of Brother Lu Yao's wedding, the thatched house of the old house, and the front and back of the newly built brick house, wherever the lantern can be hung, there is a red lantern tower. Each lantern is lit up with a tung oil lamp, which is beautiful in the light of the snow.

"Wow, big cousin, is this my home? We didn't make a mistake, right?" Lu Yao asked in surprise.

"Brother, we are not mistaken, this is indeed your home! Although the roof is covered with snow, you can clearly see that the direction of the thatched house of your old house has not changed, it is still facing southeast. Is the row of newly built brick houses next to it your family's? Hehe! It should be, at present, only your family has the strength to build such a magnificent and spacious new house in the entire village! Hey! Lu Yao, it was the third uncle who was squatting on the ground in front of him and was adding firewood to the earthen stove? Why didn't he sleep? Isn't there a professional cook and a man for the banquet?" Wu Jingsheng asked.

"Yes, it's my dad! It's the first time for the family to hold such a big happy event, he must be so happy that he can't sleep! Big cousin, let's go!" Lu Yao said happily, thrust the two crutches in his hand into the snowdrift next to him, stretched out his hand to pull Wu Jingsheng, and ran towards the temporary earthen stove in front of the new house together.

They came to the earthen stove and saw Lu Yao's father wearing a thick jacket, squatting on the ground and putting wooden blocks into the earthen stove.

"Dad!Third Uncle!" Lu Yao and Wu Jingsheng shouted one after another. Although their voices were not loud, they sounded especially loud in the silence of the night.

Lu Yao's father was stunned for a moment, and turned his head sideways to look up. Maybe his vision was a little blurry, and he didn't see it clearly. He threw away the piece of wood in his right hand and raised his right hand to wipe a layer of soot stuck to his eyelashes and eyebrows. Lu Yao and Wu Jingsheng took off the hats on their heads at the same time.

"Lu Yao, Wu Jingsheng, why are you back? Didn't you tell you not to come back? you! The second child and Wu Jingsheng are back!" Lu Yao's father shouted excitedly, and he tried to stand up with the wooden block he still held in his left hand. Lu Yao and Wu Jingsheng hurriedly stepped forward, supported Lu Yao's father's arm left and right, and pulled him up.

"Dad, it's so late, don't call Mom, let her sleep a little longer. Lu Yao said with a smile.

Your mother has been nagging for the past two days, saying that you are coming back, and as soon as she has time, she will run to the drying field and look over the mountain. Just now I came out to add tung oil to these lanterns, and your mother also said that she wanted me to go to the side of the dam to see the slopes, and if it was frozen, she asked me to shovel the ice off, and said that you should not fall down when you come back, ······"

"Er, Wu Jingsheng, my son, my mother is finally looking forward to your return!" With a few hoarse cries, Lu Yao's mother ran out of the side door of the new house tremblingly. Lu Yao hurriedly handed his father's left hand to Wu Jingsheng and ran towards his mother.

When Lu Yao hugged her mother, she knelt on the ground with a pop and shouted, "Mom! your son is back! Are you okay?"

"It's good to come back! I'm fine! Your grandparents are very good! Our whole family is fine! Come, let my mother take a good look at you?" Lu Yao's mother held Lu Yao's cold face with warm hands, stared at it for a long time, raised her right hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes, choked and said, "Son! Why are you still so thin? It's much whiter than when you were at home." Are you in good health? You're not sick, are you? Oops! I'm confused, and the ground is still frozen! Get up, don't freeze!"
