A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

Chapter 650
Because in the eyes of your parents, if your eldest brother has the ability to buy a house by himself, then it is normal for the second son to use the house for marriage if he is not able to do so.

And if the eldest son agrees that the current house will be inherited by the eldest son when he gets married, then the eldest son will buy another house, and the house in the family will belong to the eldest son by default. If the second son gets married, he will have to build or buy a new house.

It's okay if the parents are capable, but if they are both farmers, usually a house and a son's marriage will basically cost the couple everything.

Later, when the second child gets married, if too much is given out, the consequences will be sky-high betrothal gifts.If you don't have a house, the bride price is high. Parents borrow from relatives and friends to get their children married and take care of things. The rest of their lives are basically spent paying off debts.

Now in Canghe, it is very common for elderly people in their 60s to work outside the home, and most of those in their 70s are constantly running around as long as they can still move.

Originally, no one except Zhang Lan's grandfather had lived in Zhang Lan's winery. However, when he returned home a while ago, Zhang Lan's mother told him that there was an uncle in the family who wanted to live there.

The reason is that the youngest of the three grandsons is now twenty this year. The eldest and the second have settled down and got married. Now the third is really incapable, so he has the idea of ​​renovating the old house. Let the third child live, no matter what, let the child have a place to live when he gets married.

The eldest brother bought a house in the city, and the second brother also paid a down payment. The houses of both houses are not big, and they can accommodate a family of three, but they will not be able to accommodate a few more people.

I'm talking about temporarily living in the winery for a while now, and then moving in when the old house is renovated.The main reason is that now the cultivated land at home does not need to be taken care of, but the elderly must have a place to stay.

The child's parents were over 60 years old and would most likely rent a house in the city to work. However, the man was over 80 and felt uncomfortable going anywhere, so he discussed with Zhang Lan's parents whether they could live in a winery for a while.

When Zhang Lan's mother told Zhang Lan, Zhang Lan agreed without much thought.He also said to his mother: Next time someone from your own family lives in this kind of house, let others live in it if you think it is appropriate. If you don’t want others to live in it, just push it to me.

After the abolition of the agricultural tax, it stands to reason that farmers' lives should be getting better and better, but the current situation is that we can always see all kinds of dissatisfaction.

It is said that urbanization is an overall trend that cannot be violated, but in Zhang Lan's view, as far as possible, even if there is only one family in a village in the mountains, sometimes it is better than living in four villages merged into several villages. Hexin Village is much better.

The rows of houses on the east side of Qingshan Village are made by relocating farmers from the mountains, subsidizing them with some money, and then paying some money themselves to let you live in standardized farmhouse villas.

The houses are very well built, road transportation is more developed than before, and going to the hospital for medical treatment is much more convenient than before.

The only bad thing is that when we came down, there was a space of more than one meter wide in front of and behind the house for people to grow vegetables, but now it is all planted with various fruit trees.

The curb stones originally made by farmers themselves were bulldozed, and some of the extra soil was dug out. Then standard curb stones were built and a row of holly trees were planted on them. .

The good vegetable plot has been transformed into a row of holly trees and fruit trees inside. It looks good, but the small vegetable plot that could still grow vegetables has to go to the street to buy vegetables.

In the early days, most of the residents who moved out had wells dug in their yards. Although the cost was a bit more, each family had its own water supply, and at most they only had to pay the electricity bill, but it was more convenient.

When it was the turn of those who moved down in the next two years, they were no longer allowed to drill wells. They could only borrow tap water from a water pump in a several-hundred-meter-deep well that was directly drilled in the town. This is based on the stepped structure. The water bill is charged.The consequence of this is that for farmers in the mountains, where people have been moving down one after another, in the past two years, unless their families really have no money and their children are eager to get married.

Otherwise, most people would bite the bullet and buy a house in the city for their children, while the couple live in their old house on the mountain.

Originally, the town had planned to force all the residents in the mountains to move out, but as residents in the mountains began to buy houses in the city one by one, the town's action was stopped by the city. .

Zhang Lan originally didn't know about this kind of thing, but he said it while chatting with a cousin from the mountain when he came to Zhang Lan's house to ask Zhang Lan to treat him.

Zhang Lan’s cousin and grandpa live together in the mountains. Unlike other families, Zhang Lan’s grandpa and his daughter-in-law couldn’t get along with each other after they bought a house in the city. They had no choice but to live back here. In an old house on the mountain.

Now he is the only family in his village. He took the land from other households in the village and planted two pieces of land for food.

Fortunately, his village had always been occupied by people in the early years, so the subsequent village-to-village access project built roads.Now Zhang Lan's cousin, his cousin, drives an elderly tricycle when traveling. He goes into and out of the mountains with it.

After this cousin left Zhang Lan's home, Zhang Lan specifically asked her mother why she couldn't get along with her. When she was giving him acupuncture, Zhang Lan heard this cousin say that he had a retirement salary, and if it didn't work, he could rent a house. It’s not enough to live there, so why do you have to live in the mountains?

That's not to say that it's impossible to live in the mountains, but the couple are over 70. If something happens to them in a deserted village, it will be too late to go up.

Zhang Lan also saw it when he gave him acupuncture. This cousin's grandfather also had a disease. It seems to be fine now, but if he accidentally falls or something on the mountain, it is basically impossible to tell.

Zhang Lan's mother knew very well. Although they were cousins, both sides of the old couple were related to Zhang Lan.So most of his relatives know about his family affairs.

Zhang Lan's cousin has three children, two daughters and a son.Zhang Lan's cousin, a retired worker, earns more than 5000 yuan a month. Although he has some age-related diseases, everything was fine when he first retired.

The house at home is not small either. When I was doing business for my son, I replaced it with a large house with four bedrooms and two living rooms.

Everything was going well at first, but a few years before the problem arose, Zhang Lan's grandfather had a serious heart attack.After falling ill, I spent over 10,000 in the hospital and had several stents inserted into my heart.

After being discharged from the hospital, the savings in the couple's hands were basically spent. After deducting the retirement salary of more than 5000 yuan a month and the cost of their own medicines, they still had more than 2000 yuan left.

Logically speaking, more than 2000 is not a lot. It is basically enough for daily family living expenses, and it can also give pocket money to the grandson for living expenses and other things.
