Chapter 56: Complicated Family Relationships
With a bathroom and a newly renovated bedroom, after the Lantern Festival, when Fan Xingchen took Li Qi back to his hometown, they would live in their hometown, and there would be no inconvenience. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fan Guojin thought that he had nearly 200,000 deposits in the bank, and said: "Xingchen, anyway, I have money in my hand, how about building two more floors in my hometown's house?"
Fan Xingchen hesitated for a moment and said: "The location of our house is not good, next to the road, no matter at night or during the day, you can hear the vehicles passing by when you stay in the house, there is noise, and it is uncomfortable to live." If I could, I would still like to buy the land we agreed upon. When you return to your hometown, you can go and find out the tone of those people, even if the price is a little more expensive, we will buy it. Also, let's not just spend money to buy land, we exchange our own land with them, so that the price can be much cheaper. In the future, our family will not have to rely on farming to make money, and if there is less land, it will be easier for you to manage it or ask others to manage it. ”
"That's good. Fan Guojin nodded in agreement, "I heard that after the land of several villages on the outskirts of the city was expropriated, the area of the house was counted as one share, and each family was different, and the contracted land was divided equally. Let's spend money to buy land directly, and when the land in the village is expropriated in the future, then we will suffer. ”
Seeing his father so careful, Fan Xingchen smiled and didn't say anything, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his father thinking so.
Even if Fan Xingchen becomes a rich man, Fan Guojin will not be disgusted with money, he makes money through his own cleverness, and he is happy in his heart.
Although the land cultivated by the peasants is not their own, but is contracted by the state, even if the state wants to expropriate the farmland from the peasants, it needs to pay a reasonable compensation to the peasants.
How much is compensation reasonable? The question is relative, and some people think it is reasonable, and some people think it is unreasonable.
In rural areas, it is legal for villagers living in the same village to exchange their contracted farmland, provided that both parties are willing and the relevant formalities are completed.
Rural people generally like to build their houses next to the highway, so that the transportation is more convenient, and they can drive the car to the door of their homes, but not every household has land on the side of the highway, in order to be able to build a new house in a better place, it is a very common situation to exchange land in rural areas.
If you want to exchange for "good land" in the hands of others, it is just an exchange of equal area, which requires additional money.
Some peasants' main source of income is no longer farming, and they no longer value the land so much, and some people are willing to transfer the land for a profit as long as the price is right.
"I have the money to buy land, but I don't have it to build such a large villa. ”
"Dad, I don't need you to remind you, when your father's land is returned, every few months next year, I will give you a sum of money to build a house, and I won't stop work because I don't have money. ”
"That ......" Fan Guojin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Wait until you buy the land and sell the old house to your uncle, okay?"
"It's up to you to decide. ”
"As long as he doesn't push the price too hard, sell it to him. Fan Guojin said lightly, "He added two floors on top of our house, or directly demolished our house and the old house where he lived with your grandparents and rebuilt a house with a larger area." ”
Fan Guojin was adopted, back then, when he was adopted, Fan Xingchen's grandparents had been married for many years, and they were afraid that they would not be able to conceive a child, so after picking up a child, they stayed to raise it, and later, Fan Xingchen's grandmother gave birth to a son and a daughter.
There must be some gap between the adopted and the biological.
In Fan Xingchen's memory, when he was a child, every few years, his father and grandfather would quarrel a few times, for various reasons, he and his grandparents were not close, but he still knew how to be polite, and he would take the initiative to say hello when they met.
The last time he came home, Fan Xingchen prepared gifts for his grandparents, and in addition, he also sent gifts to his father's biological mother, that is, his grandmother, who was related to him by blood, and took Li Qi to visit this grandmother.
The grandfather, who was related to Fan Xingchen, had passed away, and at that time, Fan Xingchen was in high school and did not return home to attend the grandfather's funeral.
Fan Guojin was adopted, he knew about it when he was very young, and when he was ten years old, his biological parents gave him a birthday gift - a rooster weighing five pounds.
Fan Xingchen's uncle and his family of three live in the same old house with his grandparents, but they have not eaten together, and the house is more than 30 years old.
Before Fan Xingchen was reborn, Fan Xingchen's uncle did not tear down the old house, but built a small western-style building in another place.
The father and son chatted for a few words, and Fan Guojin asked, "After the Lantern Festival, when you go home, how much are you going to give your grandparents how much red envelopes you will have?"
"How much do you say is appropriate?" Fan Xingchen asked rhetorically.
Last time he went back to his hometown, Fan Xingchen was going to take out a red envelope of 1,000 yuan to his grandparents, but his father said too much and suggested that he give 600 yuan, and Fan Xingchen accepted his father's suggestion.
Grandparents have the grace of nurturing their father, but for Fan Xingchen, grandparents are just legal elders, and they can't feel that kind of strong family affection.
Before being reborn, in the autumn of the second year after Fan Xingchen graduated from university, his grandfather died, and his grandmother was many years younger than his grandfather, and she was still alive and healthy.
After Fan Xingchen was reborn, he still clearly remembered when he was young, because his grandfather quarreled with his father, when his parents were not at home, his grandfather beat him for no reason, and said very vicious things, which hurt his young heart very much, even if he grew up, his grandfather was willing to give him a smile, he still hated his grandfather in his heart, but he knew in his heart that he was a junior, even if the elders did something wrong, he couldn't find fault.
Now, Fan Xingchen has developed and has become a rich man in the eyes of his fellow villagers, he returns to his hometown in fine clothes and takes money to "honor" his grandparents, which is to fight for his parents' face, so that his parents have a good reputation for raising a good son.
If his parents and grandparents had a falling out and there was no contact, Fan Xingchen would definitely not take care of his grandparents and give him how many red envelopes, Fan Xingchen came according to his parents' wishes, and he felt that it was too worthless to make his parents unhappy because of this kind of small thing.
How many red envelopes are appropriate, Fan Guojin thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It can't be less than last time, but don't have too much, just give eight hundred." If your business is good next year, you can give an extra hundred red envelopes every year in the future. ”
"Okay!" Fan Xingchen nodded with a smile.
"Your grandparents give you more red envelopes, when you were a child, every time you went to your grandfather's house, your grandmother would give you pocket money. ”
"When was this pocket money not taken away by my mother, a few times, I didn't report it, and my mother found out later, and blamed me for being ignorant. ”
"At that time, the economic conditions were poor, and a penny had to be broken into two cents. Fan Guojin sighed, "It's your father and I who have no ability to make you and your mother suffer." ”
Fan Xingchen looked at his father with a little curiosity, in his previous life, he had never heard his father say such a thing, and he knew that his father would not say such a thing.
"What are you looking at?" Fan Guojin glared at his son angrily, "Even if you become a billionaire in the future, you are also my Fan Guojin's son." ”
"Of course I'm your son. Fan Xingchen smiled and said, "Dad, what you just said, go back and tell my mother, she will definitely be happy after hearing it." ”
"What is there to say. ”
Fan Guojin glared at Fan Xingchen again, put down the teacup, stood up, ignored Fan Xingchen again, and went directly into the bedroom where he lived.
"Dad can be shy, too. ”
Fan Xingchen said secretly, a smile flashed on his face, stood up, came to the kitchen, and chatted with his mother and Li Qi.
