Estate 31.

South Residential Area, District 3, Residential House No. 16.

That is, the three-and-a-half-storey high, reinforced concrete structure, the main body of the building covers an area of 80 square meters, the front yard covers an area of 40 square meters, and there is a 40-square-meter single-family villa with a vegetable garden behind the house, and those next to it due to insufficient funds and insufficient materials, most of them only built one and a half or two and a half floors of villas are different, the villa in front of them is completely capped, the interior is also renovated, tap water, biogas and heating, and the roof is also equipped with solar photovoltaic panels, so it is also electrified.

This is the new home of Zhang Fugui's family.

When he drove the electric tricycle into the front yard.

"My brother is back!"

A scream rang out.

At this time, the sky was relatively dark, but the sharp-eyed Zhang Siya recognized it at a glance, and immediately rushed out and threw himself into Zhang Fugui's arms.

"My son is back."

"Ahh My brother brought home a lot of delicious food. ”

"Oh oh! My brother is back, my brother is back! ”

Adoptive father Zhang Dagen's adoptive mother Xu, the other three younger sisters Daya, Erya, and Sanya, as well as Zhang Fugui's wife Tong Xiuer, all walked out of the house and gathered around Zhang Fugui.

In the front yard, it was suddenly lively like the New Year, the sound of several younger sisters chattering and cheering never stopped, the adoptive father Zhang Dagen smiled from ear to ear, and the adoptive mother Xu hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of egg noodles for her son.

His wife Tong Xiuer stood aside with a smile, saw the women's Phoenix brand bicycle at a glance, knew that this was bought by Zhang Fugui for her, and asked her to go over and try the car, she walked over timidly, but her eyes were red, and she couldn't help crying, such a precious bicycle, her husband only said that he wanted to buy it for her last year, and now it is in front of her, but she has never done anything for her husband, she is both moved and guilty.

The gifts and souvenirs in the tricycle body were all moved to the house three times per person.

At this time, the adoptive mother carried a large bowl of noodles that could be described as a basin and put it in Zhang Fugui's hand, with at least six eggs in it, and let him sit in the brightest place under the energy-saving lamp to eat, while the family talked to him on the side, talking about the changes since the beginning of this year - they have all eaten in the public canteen, and usually only on rest days will the family cook on the fire.

"A good new house was demolished, it cost more than 300 taels, but it had to be moved to the manor to compensate for the demolition fee of 100 yuan, fortunately, after the house in the village was demolished, most of those bricks, wood, and tiles could still be used on this house, otherwise it would be a real loss." Adoptive father Zhang Dagen shook his head and said in a haunted manner.

"Dad, how can that house in the village be as good as the house we live in now."

"There is running water, electricity, biogas, and heating in winter, so are the houses in the village comparable to such good conditions?"

"There are a lot of snakes and rats in the village, so I don't like the houses in the village."

"It's great to move into the manor, except for our father, who is not satisfied, I haven't heard a few complaints."

"Anyway, if you drive me out of the manor, I don't want to go out, in the future, I will either marry someone from our manor, or marry another manor, I won't consider marrying in the surrounding villages, even if the young master with thousands of acres of land marries me, I won't go."

Zhang Daya, who is fifteen years old this year, has reached the stage of considering getting married.

Zhang Dagen blew his beard angrily and stared, these daughters were too disagreeable, refuted himself in front of his brother, he comforted him and didn't catch it, but was choked by these girls and couldn't speak, but he couldn't beat them up as before, because in the manor, domestic violence is illegal, the first time will be fined 30 silver dollars, the second time will be fined 100 silver dollars, the third time will be punished with hard labor for one year, and those who do not change their bad behavior will even be directly expelled from the manor.

One-third of the fines paid will be awarded to whistleblowers, one-third will be compensated to victims of domestic violence, and one-third will be entered into anti-domestic violence committees to better combat domestic violence.

It is precisely because of these legal measures that the phenomenon of beating wives and children that was once widespread has greatly disappeared in the manor and has been greatly curbed.

Zhang Dagen has also become one of the victims, although he usually disciplines children and he will also beat, but it can't reach the level of domestic violence, but he is afraid that someone will report it maliciously, so he didn't do it again, as a result, several daughters who are usually very obedient now have the courage to talk back to him, and he can't beat him, which makes him very depressed.

But even if he usually complains that the manor is not good here and inappropriate, he can always pick out many thorns, but if he is really asked to move out of the manor and return to the original days, he is unwilling, and he will not leave if he is driven away.

Why is this happening?

Safe.

Zhang Dagen likes the safe and stable order in the manor the most.

The high fortress walls can keep out wars, natural disasters, government oppression, large wild animals, etc., and it is a paradise-like small world.

In the manor, there is a special security patrol, there are surveillance cameras at key intersections, and the public trial court is even more honest and fair, which is convincing, so that the entire manor is in an equal society with a low crime rate, low anger, no corruption and darkness, and everyone lives in harmony.

Such a beautiful society, even if it is still in the early stage of construction, and there has not been a huge improvement and improvement in living standards, but in fact, everyone agrees to accept and integrate here, even if there are some flaws that they are not satisfied with and do not adapt.

"Dad, money is something outside the body, you can make it again if you don't have it, as long as you move into the manor, our family has 10,000 acres of fertile land outside, hundreds of houses, and it is not worth paying attention to and caring about, the house in the manor is the gold house, and the house made of real gold outside is also an earthen house, which is not worth a penny, as long as we can move in, our family is earning, and it is impossible to lose."

Zhang Fugui put down his fast son and comforted his adoptive father, so that he didn't have to care too much about the loss of the original house.

"That's what you said."

Zhang Dagen nodded, he remembered that there were several meritorious landlords, whose families had hundreds of acres of land, and they actually applied to join the manor, and the fields were willing to donate for free, and they only hoped that after joining the manor, they would be arranged with some jobs that matched their status, such as school teachers, bookkeepers, stewards, etc., after all, they were farming and studying in the family, and it was impossible to do farm work as workers, and the applications of these landlords were rejected, and there was no way to join.

Looking at the life in the manor today, even those landlords may not be able to compare, right?

In addition, Zhang Fugui also asked his family about their work situation, whether they can all adapt to it, and if they feel hard or incompetent, he can see if he can think of a way to help them transfer.

"I can do it, I still do my old job, work every day, mainly weeding, pesticides, use a pump to release water, take care of some vegetables and fruits, etc., much easier than before, sometimes there is no work, I remember less, I only earn 3 silver dollars a month, if it is a busy farming period, I can earn 8 silver dollars a month, but those machines do most of the work, we are more idle farmers, less busy farming, you see, all idle body meat." Adoptive father Zhang Dagen said.

"Dad, you have worked hard for half your life, it's better to be idle, and you will enjoy more happiness in the future." Zhang Fugui said.

Zhang Dagen still complained, he can still move his body and bones, and he doesn't want to save more money, won't it increase the burden on him when he gets old in the future? No, when it's time for winter leisure, he has to find another part-time job.

The adoptive mother, Xu, worked as a worker in the cattle farm, and the work was relatively easy, with a fixed salary of 3 silver dollars per month, and a number of performance awards at the end of the year according to the operation of the farm.

The eldest sister Zhang Daya works in the public canteen, responsible for washing vegetables and cutting vegetables, tired but not tired, but a little boring, the monthly salary is also 3 silver yuan, but she has no plans to change jobs, the staff meals in the canteen are too delicious, there are big fish and meat every day, her weight is developing to more than 120 pounds, and she is the fattest of the four sisters.

The second sister Zhang Erya helped to put the ducks in the duck farm, because she was an intern, only 2 silver dollars per month, and 3 yuan after the regularization, Zhang Fugui asked her if she had the idea of changing jobs, Zhang Erya felt that the ducks were very fun and should be able to persevere.

The third and fourth sisters are all under the age of 12, so they have all entered the manor school and are eligible for compulsory primary education.

Of course, this is not to say that people over the age of 12 do not have the opportunity to study, the estate also has a night school, where everyone can receive free literacy education, and after passing the primary education examination, they can also get a primary school leaving certificate, so as to have more opportunities for promotion and development.

So my sister Zhang Daya and Zhang Erya, in addition to work, have to go to night school every day, so I chatted with my brother Zhang Fugui for a while, and I have to go to class with my schoolbag.

But the family that surprised Zhang Fugui the most was his wife Tong Xiu'er.

Although Tong Xiuer also carried a schoolbag and rode a bicycle that she was not very proficient in, she also went to night school.

But her beautiful back had just come out of the yard.

The adoptive mother Xu Shi approached Zhang Fugui and said: "Son, you have a good daughter-in-law, she is now working in a garment factory, the first to learn to use a sewing machine, can make more than 50 pieces of clothes a day, earn 15 or even 20 silver dollars a month, except for you, she has the highest salary in the family." ”

Sister Zhang Sanya also said: "My sister-in-law is very good at reading, every exam is the first in night school, I and Siya used the paper in the school, she can also score more than 90 points, I and Siya only have sixty or seventy points, and my sister-in-law's brain is much smarter than ours." ”

Zhang Siya said jealously: "Yes, our teachers all praised her, saying that she is a good seedling, and if she wants, she can go to the school to study, but my sister-in-law refused." ”

"Son, such a good wife, you must keep it!"

Adoptive father Zhang Dagen said in Zhang Fugui's ear: "Son, you don't seem to have had sex with Xiu'er yet, son, don't wait any longer, you are not at home most of the time, Xiu'er is so good, I don't know how many people hit her attention, quickly take her in, give me a grandson, don't lose such a good wife." ”

Hear these words.

Zhang Fugui couldn't help but sit up straight, causing a lot of anxiety and pressure, Xiu'er is so good, what if ......

It's night, though.

Tong Xiuer came back from night school.

In the master bedroom on the third floor, seeing Zhang Fugui lying on the bed and pretending to sleep, Tong Xiuer took the initiative to make a request for a round house after shaking the man awake.

"Xiu'er, you're only more than seventeen years old, and you're still a little close, why are you in a hurry?" Zhang Fugui was puzzled.

"I don't think I'm worthy of my husband."

Tong Xiu'er shed tears and said: "You are an officer of the Xu family's army, with a monthly salary of hundreds of silver dollars, and so many military achievements, and a bright future, I am just an ordinary village woman, with a poor family background and a mediocre appearance, how can I be worthy of you?" What should I do if you have a more desirable woman in the future? It's just that I'm trying to catch up and want to make myself fit you, but no matter how hard I work to make clothes, I have to save money for decades to buy a bicycle, and I can buy it if you want to......"

Tong Xiu'er gushed endlessly, telling her worries and uneasiness.

Zhang Fugui found that compared with his own worries, his wife Tong Xiu'er's anxiety was at least a hundred times that of herself, she had actually been living in inferiority, especially when she saw her husband every time she was promoted and made meritorious contributions, and every time she brought home a large number of gifts and specialties, she would have a greater sense of insecurity, and then work harder.

Naturally, in order to dispel her uneasiness, Zhang Fugui had to fulfill her wish and ask for her body, but he still took safety measures and could not get pregnant too early.

In addition, Zhang Fugui also promised that he would find a way to apply for transfer to No. 31 Manor to be stationed, or apply for the officer's dormitory, and then take Tong Xiu'er over, and he would stay together in the future and never be separated again.

"Thank you, husband."

Lying on the man's broad chest, at this moment, Tong Xiu'er's anxiety in her heart was gone, and she was only full of happiness and peace of mind.
