Chapter 44: Hometown
A new house in my hometown welcomes the Year of the Pig
The past is fresh in my mind
Watch and help each other as a family
Never distinguish between you, me and him
The old house is new and the new look is better than before
Yaya learns to speak this adult
Spring goes to winter
Taste the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty
It's always been heart-to-heart
Who dares to talk nonsense to make people suspicious
Carved beams and painted buildings as I want
A house full of children and grandchildren is even more wanted
Chickens crow, dogs bark, pigs how
The countryside is indispensable
Small pond at sunrise and sunset
A few acres of thin fields are busy cultivating
The local accent has not changed, and it is far away from home
Night after night, I dreamed of returning home
Have a good laugh and build a new house
Talk about the present and the past
Fuzuo has been prosperous for a long time
The loyal family is prosperous
The wife's words are getting more and more pronounced
I'm a man of my word

Move to a new home
In 2019, Han Sen's hometown built a new house, and the earthen house where he had lived for decades officially bid farewell to the historical stage. Han Sen was very excited, and finally lived in a reinforced concrete bungalow, sweeping away decades of grievances.
This earthen house has been there since Han Kun got married, and this ancestral house was crowded with people before, and Han Sen's father, uncle, aunt, uncle, and aunt all came out of this earthen house.
Later, after they got married, they all settled in the city, and only Han Sen's grandmother Chen Zhi lived alone in the earthen house.
After Chen Zhi's death, Han Sen's uncle Han Mao suggested building a new house on the homestead of the old house. Lu Yu doesn't want to build a house in his hometown, because now his family has settled in Yichang, and he will only return to his hometown during the New Year's holidays.
There is no one to live in a new house in my hometown, which is of little significance. Han Hu and Han Yezi also felt that there was little need to build a new house, and only Han Sen firmly agreed to build a new house.
Now that the new house has been built, the whole family is beaming, and it was the right decision.
The house in his hometown is actually the root of Han Sen's family, and the house bought in Yichang can only be regarded as a residence, and the emotional significance is completely incomparable.
Han Sen had a sentence that made Lu Yu make up his mind, we really don't have much money now, but it won't take long to take these 10 tens of thousands. We spend more than 50,000 yuan on food and drink every year, and this money will not last for a few years. We must not only build, but also build. I heard that the national policy has changed, and if we don't build it now, the state will take back the abandoned homestead in two years.
The original budget of 160,000 yuan for the house ended up costing 200,000 yuan, which was a little more than the budget. But after the house is built, no one cares about these details anymore.
Han Sen still remembers that when he was a child, there was no toilet at home, no matter how cold or hot, every time he wanted to go to the toilet late at night, he had to go out to the temporary latrine outside to relieve himself, not only to face the gloomy night, but also to endure the stinking latrine.
This is not an uncommon thing in the countryside, and only newly built cement houses will make a toilet. The old earthen house will not be specially made into a toilet, and it will be 30 years in a flash, and the cruel memories brought by going to the toilet can finally be erased.
Han Sen felt that it might be a good choice for his father Han Kun to stay in the countryside for development. In 2003, Han Sende's uncle spent 30,000 yuan to build a three-story small building, but now they spend 200,000 yuan.
At that time, the house was not worth much, and the cost was not high, and it would be a very successful investment to build a large house in the old home. It is a pity that people do not have the ability to foresee the future.
Han Kun's connections are all in Wuhan Caidian, so he can't do it well in Yichang. After 2008, real estate has developed rapidly, and the decoration industry has become more and more popular.
If Han Kun, who has a wide network of people and outstanding social skills, and understands the decoration industry, can always take root in Wuhan, I believe that there will be good development.
However, there are no ifs in this world, and it is impossible to wait for an opportunity for more than ten years. Reality does not give people time to hesitate, and poor families can only think about how to survive first.
When Han Sen's grandfather Han Jun died in 1999, the three Han Kun brothers gathered around to discuss how to share the foreign debts of the thousands of yuan left by the old man.
Everyone was sad, and Han Kun, as the eldest son, shared a relatively large part of the debt.
Twenty years later, the family sat around and talked about dividing the money. Chen Zhi left more than 20,000 yuan to her children, all of which were usually honored by Han Kun and her brothers and sisters, and she was reluctant to use it, except for buying medicine, everything else was saved.
There is also a part of the field money, and you will receive some money every year when you rent your own farmland to others for farming.
Lu Yu was very emotional when he mentioned the money, it is really only by working together to repay the money that he can have today's happy money.
Only a family can live a good life with one heart, Han Sen also echoed.
Every time he returns to his hometown, Han Sen's heart beats faster, he has grown up, and the village has become smaller, and when he was a child, he had to walk for 10 minutes to now he can walk in 5 minutes.
When I was a child, the tall backs are now short, the big pond when I was a child has become a small pond, the majestic mountain has become a small dirt bag when I was a child, I had to walk around the whole village for half an hour when I was a child, and now I can walk around the whole village for 10 minutes by driving a small car for several times.
Whenever no one is there in the middle of the night, his hometown will appear in Han Sen's heart, it is familiar and strange, vivid and uninteresting, tall and small, intimate and unfamiliar.
When he was a child, Han Sen wanted to go to the big city and wanted to escape from this small village, but when he grew up, Han Sen realized that even if there was no place in the world, there was still a hut in his hometown waiting for him to come back at any time.
It is a kind of calm watch, a kind of quiet waiting for the years, and the beauty that has never left.
Hanjia Village, a corner far away from the metropolis, Han Sen's home is there, and his heart has never been far away.
