Basically at eight or nine o'clock, the New Year greeting activities are over.

On the first day of the new year, there was nothing else to do. The men gathered together to play cards, the women gathered together to eat melon seeds and chat, and the children gathered together to bang cannons and compare who had more pocket money.

This year's New Year, everyone's faces are full of joy, and their energy is completely different from before.

The strength to speak seemed to have increased.

Just when everyone thought that the first day of the New Year was spent in such a relaxed and happy way, the trumpet in the village rang.

"Happy New Year to everyone, I'm here to wish you all a happy New Year! Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first day of the New Year, and I have good news to tell you..."

……

"Huh? It's the village party secretary? What's the good news?"

When everyone heard the broadcast, they stopped what they were doing, walked out of the room, and listened carefully.

"In order to let everyone live a better life, live a life that is better than that of city dwellers, and for the better development of our village, we decided to build buildings uniformly in the village..."

One stone caused a thousand waves!

When they heard that a building was going to be built, most people in the village widened their eyes in surprise.

Omg? !
Do you really want to build a building?

I just started to eat enough. Can I live in an apartment so soon?

Ye Zongxiang clearly explained to everyone on the radio the various benefits of living in buildings, as well as the importance of unified housing and leaving open space for the future development of the village, which also made everyone richer.

The villagers listened more and more excitedly, their eyes became brighter and brighter, and they felt that the prospects were infinitely beautiful.

"In this way, a village meeting will be held tonight, and everyone will vote on building buildings. As long as more than half of the votes are cast, the plan will be officially launched in the spring!
If not, it means that many people don’t want to live in the building, so we can only look at the situation and not build it for the time being..."

"What's so exciting about this! Who wouldn't want to live in a building?!"

"That's right! I've always dreamed of living in a building!"

"Whoever dares not to vote, whoever makes it impossible for me to live in a building, I will never finish with!"

"Oh, I regret it. I shouldn't have arranged the engagement for Tiedan so early. We can wait until the building is built in our village before we get engaged. Then I don't want to marry a girl from the city!"

"Yes! When we build a building where you can take a bath inside, people in the city will envy us."

……

When everyone heard about building a building, their emotions suddenly exploded and they discussed it heatedly.

When the villagers meeting was held in the evening, the voting results showed that only three people in the village disagreed!
Seeing this result, Ye Zongxiang breathed a sigh of relief.

These three people are all over 80 years old.

Moreover, he is still a lonely old man in the village. He only has collateral relatives and no direct relatives.

These old people were unwilling to hear that their old houses would be demolished after the buildings were built.

They just want to die in the old house they have lived in all their lives, and are not willing to live in a building.

Anyway, they have no direct relatives anymore, so they don't have to worry about things after death, but they are unwilling to move away during their lifetime.

This makes things a bit more difficult.As long as there are immediate relatives, no matter how stubborn the old man is, he will still compromise for the sake of his children and grandchildren.

It is difficult to solve this kind of problem when one is alone and helpless.

However, as long as someone has a weakness, a wish, and something they want.

The key is how you communicate and how you exchange conditions with the other party.

There's no rush in this matter anyway.

Let’s celebrate the New Year and leave relatives first, and then think about it after we officially go to work.

After all, the plans for building a building haven’t been made yet, I just have an idea.

This is the time to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year. Due to the lack of transportation, if the family is well-off, you can ride a bicycle. If the family is not well-off, you have to ride a passing oxcart or walk. You can only go to a relative's home in one place in a day.

Therefore, this New Year greeting activity for visiting relatives started on the second day of the Lunar New Year and may not be completed until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

It's not like the later generations who drove a car and visited all the relatives in one family. The basic process is to walk to the place, put down the gifts, chat, hand out lucky money, and then leave to the next family.

It has even developed, and the concept of severing relatives has emerged. The new generation of young people do not want to visit relatives at all.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law took the children back to their parents' home.

Gu Xia and the others also planned to take the train back to her parents' home in the provincial capital on the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Gu Xia was very much looking forward to returning to the provincial capital and finally being able to go back to see her grandfather, second uncle, and several nieces and nephews. She missed them all.

They were very kind to her in her last life. After she became paralyzed, they often visited her and took care of her in the hospital.

Although Ye Jialei has already met his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he is still a little nervous about visiting this time.

He kept asking Gu Xia what gifts he wanted to bring, and also asked her if she wanted to choose one or two suitable items from her treasure box to act as a front for him.

After all, Ye Jialei, a country son-in-law, felt a little inferior when he went to the city to visit his mother-in-law's house for New Year's greetings for the first time.

In the past, he was afraid that his mother-in-law and father-in-law would look down on him. This time, he was afraid that he would embarrass his mother-in-law and father-in-law, and that he would be laughed at by the neighbors if he did not do well.

Gu Xia could understand his mood, so she didn't get annoyed when he asked again and again, and she smiled and answered him gently,
"You bought so many high-end tobacco and alcoholic beverages, both Maotai and Chinese. You even killed a pig to make hundreds of kilograms of braised food. These are enough. As for the things in my treasure box, there is really nothing suitable to be used as a substitute. Facade.”

Of course Ye Jialei knew that, he just wanted to hear her say this, which would make him feel at ease.

Xiao Min was naturally excited about going to her grandmother's house in the provincial capital because she could take a train.

She has not taken a train yet, which makes her look forward to it. Moreover, she heard from her mother that there are parks, cinemas, ice rinks, slides, and many fun and interesting places in the city. She will take her with her when the time comes. Go play.

Little Yangyang is too young and doesn’t know what it means to visit relatives or to travel far away.

Shuanzi was also very happy because Gu Xia decided to take him to the provincial capital with him.

He has been thinking about his mother. It would be unreasonable for them not to take him with them when they return to the provincial capital. Shuanzi is smart and sensitive, so he might think too much about it. He might shrink back from the cheerfulness he had just become.

On the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Jiaming drove a tractor, loaded with a lot of gifts, and sent Gu Xia, his family, and Shuanzi to the train station.
-
provincial capital.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Nan and his wife took the children back to their mother-in-law's house. Because of the gifts he brought, he gained a lot of face and stole the show, and became the focus of the dinner table.

Zhao Yan has three sisters in total, she is the fourth, and she has a younger brother who is just nineteen and not yet married, but she is in love.
