At a family banquet, everyone naturally ate quite happily.

Yu Lian could see that his uncle was a little upset, but he was really relieved to see that he had grown up, so he accompanied him to drink one cup after another, until the lights were on, and the restaurant outside was already full of guests.

The dishes on the table were basically the same, and Aunt and Fei Fei began to clean up the table, and the younger siblings also came to help obediently, leaving the two big men to continue drinking.

"Tomorrow...... You take Fei Fei and go to visit the graves of your parents. Anyway, you won't be able to come back on the Qingming Festival. ”

Yu Lian nodded.

After that, Fei Fei sent a plate of peanuts and a small plate of fried small fish fry, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then left.

"This is really a good girl! So you must take her to visit the grave. Uncle repeated.

“…… I'm a little careful about what you're saying the second time, and I'm going to be a little careful. Yu Lian said helplessly.

"Hmph, I'm afraid that the girls you bring over to sweep the grave will be different every year. How do your parents remember so many people? Uncle glared at Yu Lian: "Warn you again, kid, don't be sorry for Fei Fei!" ”

"Look at what you said, how can I be sorry for her?" Yu Lian said helplessly.

The uncle scoffed: "Heh, last summer, two girls came to my place for dinner. said that he was here for dinner, but he kept approaching me and your aunt, asking about you, and even secretly stuffed pocket money and gifts to An An Lele! ”

Who did this? Who did it? This is starting to pump my backstage?

"By the way, it's still when the old Li Tou who deliberately picks the right door is not there. It means that they must know Fei Fei. ”

It's a shame that you have the reasoning skills to become a chef.

The uncle stared at Yu Lian with contempt, plus envy and hatred that was not hidden at all, shook the wine glass, and said, "You are about to graduate, do you have any plans?" ”

"Still thinking about it......"

"You are a graduate of the Defense University, this degree should still be very hard, and you should be able to find a good job. That's right, marry Fei Fei again, and then hurry up and have a child. While your aunt and I are still young, we can still help you bring them, so that even if we are completely relieved, we are worthy of your parents. ”

"Why are you going to that end up over there?" Yu Lian was a little helpless: "It's hard to say, if I was some kind of communications, logistics intelligence, military engineering and ship management, etc., I could find a high-paying job casually, but only this strategic research department ......"

"Isn't that the highest-scoring major in your school?"

"Yes, but this is originally a department for military management and staff officers, so it has been involved in everything, but it is not particularly in-depth in any aspect. To put it bluntly, it is the same as what management department, economics, Chinese department, what kind of major you say. ”

“…… Then why didn't you take something else in the first place? ”

"Probably because I was young and stupid. I always feel that I want to do my best. "Why, it's not the pot of the original owner's head iron baby! Why were you so second-year back then?

"If it were your parents, they wouldn't want to stay in the army, right?"

"But if I don't stay in the army, I'll have to pay all the tuition."

Yu Lian's father was just an ordinary engineer, and his mother was just an ordinary captain pilot in front of him. Without the pension of the two of them, plus a certain tax exemption policy for the children of martyrs, Yu Lian would not have been able to afford a house in the new city.

By the way, the property in the new town has always been handled by my aunt and has been rented out. All the rent has not been touched, and all of it is stored in the fixed account that my aunt gave Yu Lian, which should be a lot of savings now. But even so, it is still impossible to pay the tuition expenses of the Central Defense University for four years.

"I've said it before, don't worry about money. Your aunt and I still have some savings, enough ......."

Yu Lian shook his head and interrupted his uncle: "But, this savings of yours is used for emergency relief, right?" And, most likely, it's about to be used, right? ”

"Boy, what do you know?"

"The new mayor has taken office, saying that he is going to carry out commercial development of Jincheng, and he is playing the idea of the old city. And the people I met this afternoon...... Well-dressed and neat, but it seems that every pore exudes the alienated atmosphere of capitalism! ”

Of course, my uncle didn't want to say it, but seeing Yu Lian's expression, it was estimated that the other party could guess it even if he didn't say it, so he said, "...... They hope to buy the land and the brand of the Rong downstairs. ”

"Oh, it's here again?"

"Yes, but this time it's not the whole street, it's a family talk."

Yu Lian didn't think it was strange, this was something that would happen sooner or later.

Humans think that they are the best eaters in the whole universe, and the earthlings think that they are the best eaters among humans, but the Jincheng people firmly believe that they must be the best eaters among the earthlings. But in Jincheng, if you haven't come to Pujie to eat, you are never qualified to call yourself a glutton.

However, we must also know that this is an era of capitalist alienation, and this is an era in which the aroma of wine cannot be opened in deep alleys. Although the small shops in Bu Street have a high reputation among all mankind and even hardcore eaters in the whole galaxy, it is only a reputation of word of mouth. Without capital, there is no traffic and exposure. Without exposure, fame will naturally not go up. If you can't get famous, you can only be willing to live in poverty.

Of course, no matter how skilled the villagers in Bujie are, they will not really be destitute and unable to survive. They are always just a group of craftsmen who live seriously, and they can ensure the quality of life with a little surplus of food and clothing, and then pass on the delicious food left by their ancestors from generation to generation, and they will be satisfied.

However, we should also know that Bu Street is located in the center of the old city, adjacent to two ancient moats along the street, which is the best commercial area, and the transportation is convenient and full of atmosphere. For companies with ideas, if this kind of location is not easy to develop, and the temperament of these old antiques comes from it, isn't it equivalent to planting persimmons on a gold mine?

Therefore, in the past few years, representatives of large enterprises have come to the door to talk with the small shopkeepers here, hoping to create a luxury commercial street integrating food, leisure, bars, entertainment and shopping in this Bu Street. Of course, the shopkeepers don't have to leave their hometowns and can still continue to shop on this shopping street. As for the rent after that...... It's all about the details. You have to have a long-term plan, with the publicity platform of our big enterprises, your store is no longer a niche god restaurant, but a real Internet celebrity, no, a star store!

The vision still sounds great. However, when the negotiators selected by everyone, that is, the uncle and Uncle Li from the gym opposite, asked the other party to give a development plan, and saw their design drawings, they wanted to smash it in the face of the company representative on the spot.

If the other party's plan is really implemented, this ancient street of antique bridges and flowing water pavilions and archways will be no different from those "cutting-edge" and "fashionable" commercial streets in big cities and even in the alliance.

Yes, luxurious, sophisticated, modern, sci-fi, but full of consumerist alienation caused by light pollution. There is no culture, no characteristics, no classics, no charm. Every light, every decoration, every celebrity poster, even the fountain at the corner of the street, is tempting you to buy and buy.

That's what the company came up with.

If Bujie becomes like this, what about the entire old city of Geumseong?

The villagers united to fight against the development plan of the big business. In addition, the mayor at that time was also a "conservative" faction born in his native country, and he was on the side of the aborigines, so he finally saved everyone's hometown.

But it would be naïve to expect that capital would give up. Just recently, a commercial real estate development company that is said to have the background of a large consortium of alliances has come again, and it has changed its way of negotiation to prepare public relations one by one.

"So, what's going on now?"

"At the moment, he is very friendly, his attitude is very sincere, and the conditions given are also very good...... They are going to buy the land and storefront here at more than half of the market price, and then they are also going to pay a lot of money to buy the signboard of Rong downstairs, which is really a lot of money. ”

Uncle's face was a little stiff, with a look of "they gave too much", and his voice trembled a little:

"Then, I will be asked to continue to serve as the new technical consultant of Rong downstairs, and the contract is signed for 20 years, and the annual salary alone is more than what I earn now. To be honest, I was moved by the good conditions like this, so I was a little restless. ”

"But you still refused." Yu Lian said with a smile.

The uncle nodded, and then poured the wine into the glass in one gulp.

"Is it because you don't want the inheritance of the 88th generation of our ancestors to be given to others? Or is it because they didn't mention other stores? There is no mention of follow-up development plans here? ”

"Probably, all of them...... In the past, everyone said that they would advance and retreat together, and it was precisely because of this that I didn't dare to agree casually. They only said they would come back and left. Hehe, the attitude is much better than the previous one, and I can make friends, but I still have to refuse them! The uncle took another sip of wine and muttered, "Oh, oh, that's really a lot of money!" I just rejected them. Fish, am I quite a gentleman, more gentleman than your mother! ”

"Yes, you're a pure master!" Yu Lian gave the other party a thumbs up, but he knew in his heart that the matter should not end so quickly.

Really, I just want to come back and take a break or something! How can you still encounter such a?

He looked at his uncle and aunt, who were already completely drunk, and felt that it was better to set aside the old man's house, fund, insurance, and money for An An and Lele's education in the alliance as soon as possible.

I'll send a letter to Asher later. He should be idle right now, right?
