City D is a vast and sparsely populated city, and the area that has been truly urbanized covers a very small area, and it is not even as large as the county seat in some economically developed areas.

Not to mention the present of '98, even in another ten years, the rural population and pastoral population of D City still account for 99% of the city's total population.

It wasn't until 20 years later, when Mayali was almost 30 years old, that City D finally ushered in a period of rapid expansion of the city's scale.

At that time, She Fengyu and their farmhouse yards all brought more than 1.2 million yuan in compensation for the land occupied by their owners.

Mei Yali still remembers how much her mother envied her aunt's family for "getting rich overnight" in her previous life.

Now that she finally has the opportunity to live again, Mei Yali feels that even if she can't do anything else, she should at least help her family take the lead when people don't have the concept of buying a house for investment.

Because of this, she tried her best to persuade her parents to buy a house in the suburbs of City D, where She Fengyu's house is located.

She Yujie is a discerning person, as soon as She Yufen said it, he immediately nodded in agreement, "That's good." Both the living conditions and the education level in the city are better than those in Heigang Township, and if you can find a way to make a living, it is better to move down than to stay in the ravine of Taizi Village. ”

"I'm afraid I can't move down. It's hard to find a job in the city, and the money we earn is not enough for our family of four, so your brother-in-law and I are thinking about running first. ”

While speaking, She Yufen brought a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions into the house.

She Yujie took the plate in her hand and put it on the table, "I heard my brother-in-law say before, you have a lot of rabbits at home?" ”

She Yufen nodded, "No." Speaking of which, this is still the way my daughter thinks of it. This child is different from others, she is hungry for meat, not to let us kill chickens, nor to let us buy pork for her, but to target the rabbits in the mountains, and ask your brother-in-law to catch her and raise it home. ”

She Yujie was very supportive, he touched Mei Yali's head, "My niece's daughter is as financially savvy as her mother!" ”

She Yufen was amused by his words.

She waved her hand, "What am I?" I raise three or five a year to earn a little bit of pocket money. ”

She Yujie smiled, "That's already quite remarkable." At that time, the work in the field at home was directed at you and your mother, and you didn't have time to get forage for them if you raised too much. ”

I have to say that She Yujie is still very good at coaxing She Yufen to be happy.

His sincere praise made the last bit of depression in She Yufen's heart dissipate.

She said to She Yujie while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks at Wang Xiulan's signal: "Since a few years ago, your brother-in-law and I have been raising a bunch of open-mouth things at home every year, if it weren't for this, how could our family have the spare money to buy a car and a house?" ”

"It's also you and my brother-in-law who are capable, how can ordinary people eat that hard work!" She Yujie didn't say this to make She Yufen happy, he really felt so in his heart.

Because it is all dry land, the yield per mu is not high, and the population in the village is small, so every villager in Taizi Village owns twice as much land as the villagers in Majia Village.

They worked more than twice as hard as the villagers in Majia Village, but they didn't harvest even half as much food.

Planting so much land, raising a group of rabbits, a group of chickens, a group of geese, a group of sheep, a horse and a dog at home, Mei Zhijun and She Yufen's hard work can be imagined.

She Yufen, who was aroused by She Yujie's words, sighed and said to She Yujie: "What can I do?" Not all the people who dig in the soil are like this. Your brother-in-law and I have already made a decision. Our family raised those things, and your brother-in-law and I didn't go to the wasteland anymore. Unlike other families in our village, both of them have been growing up in the fields for many years. And our grandfather, every year he goes to help me and your brother-in-law plant, weed, and harvest in the autumn, which also saves us from the young. ”

For Old Man She, both She Yufen and She Yujie are full of gratitude, of course, on the other hand, She Fenggang and She Yuguo don't like Old Man She so much.

Fortunately, Old Man She didn't have to look at the faces of their father and son to live.

He and Mrs. She raised three good daughters, and the eldest granddaughter She Yufen and the second grandson She Yujie were extremely filial to them.

With their children and grandchildren here, Old Man She and Old Lady She have always lived a nourishing life.

——————

It's June.

While preparing for the junior high school exam, Mei Yali was also waiting for the hailstorm in her previous life.

In her previous life, all the crops in Taizi Village, Fangjiadian, Majia Village, and Luer Village were all smashed by this hail in late June 98.

From the size of marbles to the size of an adult's fist, the crackling hail falling from the sky took less than ten minutes to destroy the fruits of the labor of all the peasants in these four villages for the first half of the year.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the hailstorm came after the rain, and most of the farmers in these villages at that time hid at home to avoid the rain, and even the poultry and livestock of each family also hid in their nests.

On the evening of the 26th, Mei Yali was taken back to Taizi Village by Mei Zhi's military motorcycle.

When the father and daughter passed by the fields of Fangjiadian and Taizi Village, Mei Yali saw a mess in the field out of the corner of her eye.

She asked Mei Zhijun, who told her that just last night, several nearby villages had been patronized by hail.

Until he entered his yard, Mei Zhijun was still distressed about the crops that had not grown, "...... Originally, your mother and I planned to find someone to build a house for our family after the autumn harvest. Alas—"

Hearing Mei Zhijun's long sigh, Mei Yali silently said "sorry" to her father in her heart.

Although she also felt sorry for the wasted seeds and fertilizer, she was even more afraid of being taken crazy or possessed by rumors from the villagers that something unclean had possessed her.

After eating the dinner carefully prepared by She Yufen, Mei Yali said to She Yufen and Mei Zhijun while writing her homework: "Otherwise, our family won't build a house, anyway, our family will buy a house in the city." ”

"No! Have you forgotten how your grandmother laughed at our family in the first place? She Yufen has always been haunted by Zhao Huiying's merciless ridicule because of her house, and she finally has plenty of money, of course she wants to fight for this breath back.

"But our family is ready to buy a house in the city! In the entire Taizi Village, our family is the only one who can settle down in the city, right? If my grandmother knew, she would have pink eye, and then she would still have the confidence to talk to you? ”

Mei Yali said this for a long time, and it was smooth and natural to say it at this time.

She knew that She Yufen was a strong person, and in her previous life, she spent tens of thousands of yuan to build a house in a poor rural area like Taizi Village, in order to slap Zhao Huiying in the face.
