Chapter 165: Starting a Family (4)
"I want to make a career," Cheng Xiong said.
Yan Qing asked rhetorically, "Don't you already have a job now?" ”
Cheng Xiong replied to Yan Qing: "No! Now it is not enough to have a job, we don't have our own house, our own industry, we are far from the happy life we dream of in our hearts, and now it is not the life we want at all, and we can't even lose a healthy life. ”
Maybe Yan Qing was also a woman who had ideals and was unwilling to accept the status quo, he didn't refute it after listening to Cheng Xiong's explanation, maybe that is the charm that a man should have in Yan Qing's eyes! For ordinary people, they can only feel that they are actually the same as ordinary people, with emotional emotions and desires, but their excessive self-control ability makes them look like people with pure hearts and few desires.
reminds me of the words written by the martial arts master Gu Long in his diary "Laughing Red Dust": "Thin affection is always a kind of irresistible charm for women." The thin affection in his pen is actually a more cold restraint, but the more attractive and precious man is actually the restraint that retains a certain temperature, and the lethality of a man with this ability is huge. Knowing the world but not the world, what kind of male temperament do you need? Does traveling the world count? Knowing more does not mean knowing more, knowing more is after you have thought about and summarized your experience. There are not many boys who understand the rules of this world, but those who have gone through the world and can always maintain their original intention are more attractive. A man who is well versed in the world, but not greasy, reveals an attitude towards things from the inside out, and is far away from the rivers and lakes. They have a clean and tidy appearance and good living habits, and at the same time, they have a clear heart, and always have a ruler to measure their own behavior, drawing a clear line between good and bad.
"Good! What do you want to do? Yan Qing said.
In that era when it was still in the countryside, whether a family could be independent depended on whether there was land that belonged to the family, and Cheng Xiong believed in the words of the mountain god in his dream, Cheng Xiong believed that he belonged to the earth, and he was destined to achieve something great on the land. So he and Yan Qing said: "People always start a family and start a family. If we want to start a business, we must first have our own home, we must have our own land, and we must have our own independent house. ”
After hearing Cheng Xiong's idea, Yan Qing thought for a while and said, "This idea is very good, but we don't have much money, right?" ”
"It doesn't matter if it's money, we can borrow money! After earning the money, we can return it to them, and we can find someone to build the house ourselves. We are still young, we still have a lot of time, and we can still struggle for many years! ”
In this way, Yan Qing agreed to Cheng Xiong's idea. Let's do it if two people do it, and it's not ambiguous at all!
Because Cheng Xiong worked in the Land and Resources Bureau of Sun Town, there were many people who came into contact with land turnover, and soon after, Cheng Xiong found a suitable piece of land. That piece of land was originally a crop land, about 1,500 square meters. At that time, the price of land was not expensive, and it was still agricultural land, so the price was even lower.
"I won't sell this land for less than 3,000 yuan!" The owner of that land was a farmer, because he was old, he wanted to go to live with his children, and this land was one of the lands he had planted all his life, and he had a deep affection for this land
In the 90s, 3,000 yuan and 1,500 square meters of agricultural land were not cheap. You must know that in the nineties, Cheng Xiong and Yan Qing's monthly salary was only a few hundred yuan. But because of the good geographical location of this land, the distance between him and Cheng Xiong and Yan Qing is not too far, so Cheng Xiong values this land very much.
Cheng Xiong reverently said to the old farmer: "Uncle, I really want to buy your land, you can see if it can be a little cheaper, your agricultural land costs 3,000 yuan for 1,500 square meters!" To tell the truth, it's really expensive, otherwise, you can sell it to me for 2,000 yuan. ”
"Guy, our family is also telling you the truth, we are farmers who have been farming all our lives, and we are not as good as you educated people who eat imperial grain! You can get paid every month, we can't do it, we are making a living vigorously, facing the loess, facing the back, all by eating, this land is the root of life! So we don't sell it for less than 3,000 yuan. ”
Cheng Xiong is also a very patient person, after all, he is doing government work, and he has a lot of contact with people, and he has encountered many things, this old farmer has a stubborn personality, and Cheng Xiong can also talk to him about the past.
"Uncle, aren't you moving away? If you want to leave, who can you sell this land to? Aren't they still tenants in the neighborhood? If you sell it to them, they are all from the villagers, can the price be so high? It would be nice to sell for 1500. ”
At this time, the old farmer was still so stubborn, and said: "That's not good, sell it to them, that belongs to selling to your own family, we have been with these neighbors for decades, and they are all good!" Even if I sell it to them at a low price, I feel that it is worth it. ”
Cheng Xiong replied: "Oh, old man, your idealism is inevitably too strong, right?" You're leaving, why don't you put a few more dollars in your pocket? How many times will you meet these neighbors after you're gone? It's better to get yourself more pension money! ”
"So, if it's less than 3,000 yuan, we won't sell it!"
"Oh, my old man."
……
In this way, Cheng Xiong can talk from one Saturday afternoon to the evening, and he is not too hard. In the evening, Cheng Xiong can still invite the old farmer's family to dinner. At that time, the countrymen were very realistic, since there were younger generations who invited them to dinner, of course they would not refuse, and the old farmer also specially called his wife.
There are only two people in this old farmer's family, and their children have long since moved out, only him and his wife. At that time, it wasn't like going to a restaurant to eat casually now, and it was a very high treatment to be able to invite you to eat at the restaurant. Some peasants have never eaten in a restaurant a few times in their lives.
Cheng Xiong has already said hello to Yan Qing, and now he is going to talk to the old couple about the land, and he may invite the old couple to dinner in the evening, if he can't catch the car, he won't go home, so he will live in the reception room of the town government. The old couple also came on motorcycles.
It was a restaurant in Sun Town, and the decoration was average. There are four dishes on the table, namely: crucian carp in sauce, pot wrapped meat, dried tofu with sharp peppers and a plate of peanuts. This is already very good for the three wine tables, there are meat and vegetarian dishes, fish and meat, snacks, and a few bottles of beer, ready to drink a few cups with the old farmer. At that time, drunk driving was not too strict, and the old couple was close to home, so they could have a few drinks at that time.
Chengxiong lifted the cup and said: "Come on, come on, I am fortunate to meet the two of you today, and it can be regarded as the fate of my Duanmu Chengxiong and the two, come!" I toast the two elders! 166 Reading Network
