1983: From Land Sharing to Household Ownership

"Aqiang, you gave me so much fruit, this..."

"Yeah, A Qiang, I've had a great time at your house these two days, and now I can't finish eating and I'm still walking around, this..."

"Hee hee...I want it! I'll take it!"

"Aqiang, take your sister and the others to my house when you are free."

"Yeah! Ah Qiang, my family lives in the dormitory building of Chacheng No. 1 Middle School, so I can barely live there."

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoling, Chen Lin, Wanjun, goodbye!"...

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Duofang's family, full of food and drink, sat and rested for half an hour, drank afternoon tea again, and decided to leave and go home.

Although it is summer vacation now, there is no need to teach and take classes, but as the principal of Chacheng No. 1 Middle School, even during the summer vacation, Yang Duofang still has a lot of things to do and must do.

"Everyone, get in the car,"

In such a hot weather, Wang Qiang naturally wouldn't let Yang Duofang's family walk back, he had to take them home.

He pushed the tricycle out of the garage and said to Yang Duofang and his family.

"Okay, let me come and take a ride on your imported tricycle to see if it is as good as the legend."

"Everyone, slow down and come one by one. People can sit on both sides of the compartment of my tricycle."

"Well, alright, everyone sit tight, I'm going to drive."...

After a while, Yang Duofang's family, each carrying a bag of fruit and various eggs, came to both sides of the carriage to sit firmly and support them. Wang Qiang kicked hard and started the tricycle.

Needless to say, the shock absorption effect of the tricycle is very stable on the bluestone road. After a while, it exits the gate building, crosses the stone arch bridge, and gallops away in the direction of the Chajiang Bridge.

...

"Aqiang, before school starts next fall, remember to come to Chacheng No. 1 Middle School a week in advance to find me, and I will take your sister and the others to take the entrance exam!"

"Well, Uncle Yang, I remember."

"Brother Aqiang, next time I have time, I will go to your house to play!"

"Aqiang, walk slowly all the way!"

"Brother Aqiang, when the summer vacation starts next year, I will go to your house to play for a few days."

In front of the huge school gate of Chacheng No. 1 Middle School, Wang Qiang said goodbye to Yang Duofang's family who had just got off the bus.

Later, after little fat boy Yang Zhigang and Yang Xiaoyue and their sisters walked into the school gate with three turns, Wang Qiang turned around on a tricycle and drove towards the road where he came.

In less than ten minutes, he returned to the front of the bus station not far away, and saw two women with three children, carrying a burden towards the direction of the Chajiang Bridge.

"Auntie Lin? She finally returned to Tea City?"

Wang Qiang took a look and found that it was Auntie Lin who had not seen her for more than two months.

However, she actually brought her sister-in-law and three nephews with her.

It must have been Auntie Lin who returned to the tea city only two days after she completely finished her brother's funeral.

Judging from her current situation, she should be taking her sister-in-law's family to sell herbal tea, popsicles, and soda.

Because Wang Qiang, at Chen Lin's request, went into her house at the bus station to take a look, but didn't find Auntie Lin coming back.

Now I see two pairs of burdens they are carrying, with herbal tea buckets and two large foam boxes.

The herbal tea bucket must contain herbal tea, the stuff in the foam box, it seems that there are popsicles and soft drinks.

"That's fine. Auntie Lin's sister-in-law's family came to Chacheng to do business with her. As long as you are diligent and honest, you can get out of poverty and become rich in two or three years."

Don't underestimate the various hawkers who set up stalls on the side of the road at this time. They are one of the first groups of people to get rich in this era.

Their humble small businesses, such as selling herbal tea, selling popsicles, and selling fruits, earn a dozen or even dozens of dollars a day, which is not surprising.

If things go well, one month will be able to earn a year's wages for those workers with iron rice bowls.

Without it, in this period, there are too few people doing this kind of small business, and all kinds of materials are extremely scarce. Basically, everything is sold well.

Because he had to worry about some situations, Wang Qiang didn't want to go directly to help Aunt Lin and her sister-in-law's family.

What's more, what they are doing now is not bad, and in ten years, they will still be very rich.

Now, without Chen Lin, who is ill, Aunt Lin can buy land and build a house in the city after working for one or two years, and it is a front house on the side of the main street.

At that time, on the main street of the city, there will be several street-facing stores, and you will be able to live a good life easily without renting.

However, people in this era did not have the awareness of going to the city to buy land and build houses.

In a year or two, Wang Qiang will definitely remind Aunt Lin, lest she miss one of the biggest opportunities of this era.

"Auntie Lin!"

Wang Qiang hurriedly turned the corner, stopped the car in front of Auntie Lin and the others, and said, "When did you come back? I went to your house a few days ago, but I didn't find you coming back."

"Aqiang!"

With a relaxed smile on her face now, Aunt Lin looked at Wang Qiang and said, "What a coincidence? We just met you today when we were about to set up our booth."

"We only returned to the tea city this morning. After a long time of cleaning, we can finally set up a stall in the afternoon."

"My sister-in-law Li Guiying, she doesn't want to stay in the smoky Dongyang Village of Yucheng, so she brought three children and came to Tea City to help me do business."

"I calculated it. By this time next year, I can earn enough tuition for Lin'er and these three little brats. That's no problem at all."

She smiled and said, "When the time comes, you can feel at ease for these four little guys to study."

Ha ha,

It's more than just letting them read.

Like Auntie Lin, a stall that sells herbal tea as well as popsicles and soda can earn thousands of yuan a year, don't take it too easy!

And the current tuition, even for junior high school, is only about five yuan a semester.

Plus some seventy-eighty-eight expenses, ten yuan a semester is enough.

These little brats go to school, Aunt Lin only needs to pay for a few days, and the tuition for a year will come out.

In the past, her family was dragged down by Chen Lin. In a month, Auntie Lin had a serious stall, but it was only ten days.

The money earned will soon be given to the hospital and her brother.

Therefore, she did not calculate this account carefully.

From now on, after they worked so hard for two months, even if they saved enough money, Wang Qiang would not be surprised.

Because that is so normal.

In Wang Qiang's later memory, he had a business friend who started selling fruit at a fruit stand on the side of the road at the bus station just a year later.

In the early 1990s, he bought all the color TVs, refrigerators, tape recorders, and motorcycles in his house. He even bought land in the city and built a three-story building!

At that time, among the various collective units in the tea city, those workers with iron rice bowls had a thousand-yuan deposit at home, but there were not many, and decent electrical appliances at home were even more pitiful.

This is the status quo of this era. If it is 30 or 40 years later, no one will believe it.
