The Age of Rebirth

"Have the land been taken down? The speed is quite fast!" Li Weidong asked himself as if nothing had happened.

Gao Anbang showed that it was so, and said with a smile: "I knew it was related to you, otherwise who would use more than 70 mu of land to build several villas!"

Then Gao Anbang took a cup of tea and continued to sigh: "I have visited the castles where the nobles lived in Europe. Yours is bigger than most of their castles. This is life!"

Gao Anbang has also traveled abroad, especially some places in Europe. He is an architect himself, so he is naturally interested in those European buildings and has visited many medieval castles.

"What villas, castles, and seventy acres of land?" Li Chengwen, who had been sitting next to him without opening his mouth, finally showed curiosity when he heard these words, and asked.

Just now, the son and son-in-law were talking about work. It was a business matter, and he didn't understand those things, so it was not easy to intervene.

Later, he talked about the nephew of his second uncle's brother's family. Although it was a private matter, it was a matter of his wife's family, and he didn't bother to answer it. Besides, he was an elder, and he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the younger generation.

Moreover, his son and son-in-law are not ordinary people, so he doesn't need to point out how to deal with these matters, as long as he doesn't make trouble, and he doesn't need to worry about it.

But now that his son wants to use more than 70 mu of land to build villas and castles, he is concerned, because he has a direct relationship with him, and he will live with his son in the future.

People don't accept their old age. In recent years, I have grown older and enjoyed more blessings, but my body has become weaker. No matter how tiring I used to work, my strength will return after I wake up from sleep.

Since the two sons got married and became prosperous, the old couple took care of the children and did less physical work. Now they occasionally do some physical work in their hometown, and their waists and backs hurt. They work harder and sweat.

Li Chengwen knew that without two or three months of adaptation, his original strength would not come back, and this made him depressed for a while, but the actual conditions did not allow him to go back to do these jobs, and he wanted to do something No physical work at all.

If there is seventy or eighty acres of land, in addition to building a villa, there must be a large piece of land. After all, Li Weidong's villa on Hong Kong Island only covers an area of ​​a few acres, and there is a large piece of land for the two of them to mess around with.

So Li Chengwen showed a hopeful look, a little manipulative, the old couple will definitely not be lonely.

"How can there be more than 70 acres of land, just a small hillside!" Li Weidong understood what his father meant, and explained.

On the way Li Weidong came back from Hong Kong Island last time, several people persuaded him to move. Although Li Weidong refused to move to the villa built by Chen Gu at the time, he also thought about moving.

But after I came back, things happened one after another. There were too many things piled up and I was so busy that I kept this thought in the back of my mind.

One day, Li Weidong had a sudden whim, and the idea popped up again, so he asked Ding Yuan to drive to the villa in the southern mountainous area to have a look.

Although Li Weidong didn't like the community with 108 high-end villas built by Chen Gu, he was very satisfied with a small hill next to it.

I even went to the top of the mountain on foot, and conducted a field survey of this small hillside, and found that the location, slope, and view are all perfect.

As long as we build a road up the mountain and build a villa in this place, it would be too ideal. Li Weidong couldn't let go of the idea, and immediately decided to give it a try.

Fortunately, at this time, the country has not yet started to restrict villas, such as golf, which covers a relatively large area, and does not pay much attention to ecology, which makes this possible.

With Li Weidong's idea in mind, there are naturally subordinates to handle this matter. According to the normal land acquisition procedures, the company needs to operate it.

Anxia Real Estate is a real estate company under the name of Li Weidong, so it is naturally the first choice, and there is a villa area built by them next to it, which is fully equipped in terms of experience and ability.

It took just over two weeks to get the land. This speed and efficiency were indeed beyond Li Weidong's expectations.

Of course, when Ansha Real Estate was operating this matter, it would definitely use the banner of Li Weidong, otherwise things would not have been so smooth.

Moreover, the province and the city were afraid that Li Weidong would not be in Qizhou anymore, so they naturally satisfied Li Weidong's request as quickly as possible, not to mention that it was not too much, normal business operations were fine, and no one was responsible.

After all, Li Weidong came from later generations, and still has the idea of ​​green water and green mountains, golden mountains and silver mountains, so according to his original idea, he should try his best to maintain the original appearance of the mountain, and integrate the building and the mountain as much as possible to achieve the goal of man and nature. harmonious coexistence.

Under this assumption, the smaller the size of the villa, the better, but for the sake of safety, the bigger the better, the bigger the better, and a safe boundary distance.

Therefore, in the commercial planning, the whole project is composed of several villas to form a complex, similar to European castles.

This can also meet the accommodation needs of staff such as nannies and security guards, and to live in such a place, health doctors must also be equipped.

As for the place other than the villa, it is naturally a green area. According to Li Weidong's request, what is the best or what is the best, and such things as opening up wasteland and farming are not in his consideration at all, but he ignores the hobbies of his parents .

"What's wrong with the hillside? Didn't all the land in the southern mountain of our village be opened up a few years ago!" Li Chengwen said indifferently. Although he didn't like to serve the land, he loved the land so much that he felt guilty without the land.

This is all for the future, and it is obviously too early to discuss it now. Li Weidong said openly: "No problem, after the construction is completed, you can do whatever you want when you move there!"

Of course, at that time, the old couple Li Chengwen and Shen Yueying really insisted on getting some land, and it would not be a big deal to grow some vegetables and fruits.

Gao Anbang shook his head listening to the conversation between Li Weidong and the father-in-law. He just heard Liu Jianguo say that although the land is in the suburbs, the price per acre of land is not lower than the price in the urban area. be tall.

If it is used to grow food, I am afraid that the cost will not be recovered in 100 years, but as a recreation, the cost is not too high.

"That's a good relationship, let Xiao Ding take me there tomorrow to have a look, and plan well!" Li Chengwen was very happy, holding a teacup and said imposingly.

The movement of drinking tea was too big, Li Chengwen drank all the tea leaves in his mouth, then skillfully spit the tea leaves into the cup, and then said: "The house you have now is pretty good, but it's a bit small!"

When Gao Anbang heard this, he almost spit out the tea he had just drank in his mouth. The father-in-law's demands were getting higher and higher.

He still remembered that his father-in-law was very satisfied with this house a few years ago. It was much more comfortable than living in a building. It was warm in winter and cool in summer.

Now I start to dislike smallness again, and people's desires have really risen.

Thinking about himself, why not? When he first got married, he thought about building three tile-roofed houses in the countryside, with food and drink, and his wife and children were very satisfied.

Now more than ten years have passed, living in a big house in the city, driving a car in and out, and having a seven-figure deposit, I never dared to imagine such a life before.

But now I am still not satisfied, thinking that the company will grow bigger and bigger, earn more and more money, and the car will become more and more advanced. In short, there will never be an end in sight on this road.

Li Weidong naturally ignored his own father's confession. From time to time, if Gao Anbang and Li Weidong didn't mention this matter, if others said the yard was small, Li Chengwen would definitely not agree.

Li Weidong dissuaded: "It's just a small hillside. There is nothing but trees and grass. It's not as good-looking as the back hill in our hometown. Besides, there are no roads built now. They are all small roads. You will be sweating once you go up. Wait for a while." , I'll let you have a look at the design institute's renderings after they come out!"

Li Chengwen said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of climbing a mountain? I used to go up to the mountain to pick peppers on a hot day in my hometown. My clothes were soaked and I came here. If you say you young people have never suffered!"

Gao Anbang and Li Weidong looked at each other, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes. Li Chengwen is a professional carpenter and a part-time bricklayer.

Li Chengwen didn't notice the eyes of the two brothers, and he was still talking about his old calendar, but finally attracted several children to listen to the story.

"I think back then, when I was [-] or [-] years old, I started to learn crafts from my master. Just in time for the three-year disaster, all the leaves of the elm trees on the mountain were eaten up, and many of those trees were brought down!"

"My master is jealous. These are old trees, which are perfect for making furniture, but they belong to the public. They dare not move them during the day, so they secretly carry them down from the mountain at night!"

"At that time, we didn't have enough to eat, and we didn't have much strength, but we still had the courage to lift a two- to three-hundred-pound bar, resting after three steps, and stopping after two steps!"

"Later, the master used the leftovers of those old elm money trees to make a lot of tables, chairs and benches. He secretly exchanged some grains and came back. I only had a few full meals. I ate seven of such a big cornbread!"

When Li Chengwen said this, his eyes were full of admiration for his master. It was such a luxury to be able to eat a full meal in those days, but his master relied on his craftsmanship to let him eat a few full meals.

"It's wrong for grandpa to steal!" When Li Chengwen was feeling emotional, Li Rui beside him said crisply.

The people next to me laughed!

Li Chengwen corrected: "That's not considered stealing. Later, those trees that were not brought down were burned by the production team. Now that I think about it, that is waste!"

"Okay, it's been 800 years, and it's not over. Let's see what time it is, and go to bed!" Shen Yueying, who was sitting in the restaurant next door chatting with her daughter, pointed to the clock on the wall.

"Why is it endless? If it weren't for that bag of sorghum noodles back then, you wouldn't have such a good life today!" Li Chengwen said angrily.

"I didn't have a good life following you. My good life today is also given by my daughter!" Shen Yueying's words obviously lack confidence, which is a little different from the past.

The brothers and sisters glanced at each other, and they all understood the meaning of the words. They looked at Shen Yueying and Li Chengwen gossipingly. Could there be another story in it?
This kind of story can be heard a lot in operas. It is not uncommon to exchange a steamed bun, a bag of dried sweet potatoes, and a bag of millet for a daughter-in-law in the era of fleeing famine.

But Li Weidong's brothers and sisters have never heard of it. Their mother was brought back with a bag of sorghum noodles. Besides, his grandfather's family is not that difficult.

Li Weihong asked gossipingly: "There seems to be a story here?"

"What's the story, hurry up and go to bed, let's be fine tomorrow!" Shen Yueying didn't have a good temper with Li Weihong.

"That's right, we don't go to work, we will stay at home with you tomorrow!" Li Weihong said coquettishly.

"I still prefer you to accompany me. If you don't anger me in front of me, I will be satisfied!" Shen Yueying said.

"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow, I'll be angry with you if I don't stay at home!" Li Weihong rolled his eyes and said immediately.

"Where do you want to go again? If you're not a good teacher, what are you doing running around when you have nothing to do?" Shen Yueying asked immediately, her attitude changed so quickly that people were caught off guard.

"Going on a trip, I told you to go, but you don't want to go, why don't I go by myself?" Li Weihong replied very simply.

It has always been Li Weihong's wish to travel and see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, but there are too many things, and it has been delayed again and again, and it has never been possible.

Now the school suspends her and asks her to only do scientific research projects in the future. Li Weihong is unwilling, so she tactfully raised objections, and even resigned.

But the school said to study and study, and at the same time asked her to think about it. Although the statement was euphemistic, the meaning was very firm.

Now that the school's research results haven't come out yet, since she was asked to think about it, she might as well think about it for a few more days, go on a trip, relax, and realize her dream.

At that time, I didn't know if my mind was down. When I mentioned this matter to my parents, I casually told Shen Yueying that I had a dispute with the school and even had the determination to resign.

All of a sudden, Shen Yueying's strong opposition was aroused, and she was even vetoed about going on a trip, let alone Li Weidong's proposal to take her parents on a trip.

Now that Li Weihong brought up the old matter again, the two naturally argued again, and this time they had Li Weihua as a helper.

In fact, Li Weihua knew about this matter right away. From her point of view, Li Weihong just did it, and also called to preach, this time it was a face-to-face criticism.

"Wei Hong, you said that you are old and young, so why can't you feel at ease? What's wrong with being a university teacher? Look at Weiying, who is still a primary school teacher. Isn't she doing well?" Li Weihua said earnestly. Said.

"Sister, I didn't say that I'm not a teacher. I'm considering it now. You see, my brother-in-law is so drunk, let him go back to sleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Li Weihong said in a tone of voice.

Sure enough, Li Weihua's eyes turned to Gao Anbang. Gao Anbang blushed and indeed drank a lot, but he was not dazed. Li Weihong obviously had exaggerated words, and his intentions were self-evident.
