Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Wang Zhengguo and Lu's father, who were not far behind in their seventies, stood outside the crowd, their spirits bright and their faces glowing.

They have not suffered any harm in these years, they are well fed and clothed, and they have raised two old people with straight backs, no deafness and no blindness. If their eyebrows and hair had not turned gray, at first glance, they would look the same as they did more than ten years ago.

"The brick house is better than the adobe house, and the bungalow is more elegant, square and angular. My three sons were very excited when they saw it. They wanted to build a few bungalows, but even if it didn't work out, they would have to build three brick houses. There are separate houses in the east and west. The grandchildren have already reached the age of marriage, and the whole family cannot still live in three low and narrow adobe houses." Wang Zhengguo said.

His three sons have given him several more grandchildren over the past ten years. The three families together have more than a dozen grandchildren. The eldest son has five children, the second son has six, and the third son has five.

Not to mention getting a wife, if we don’t expand the building, there will be no room for footing.

Father Lu smiled and said, "Are your sons planning to build their own homes, or are they going to individually approve a piece of homestead land for the next generation to build?"

By flipping the lid, you don’t have to pay for homesteading, which can save a lot of money.

The earth belongs to the collective. Even if Wang Zhengguo is still the captain and has high moral standing, he cannot show favoritism.

Wang Zhengguo sighed, "With their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky, they have many children. How much money can they save? It doesn't matter that they want to build a bungalow, but in my opinion, one family can build three brick houses and then build a few adobe side houses. It would be great if it comes out. The cost of materials is more than 300. However, what they want is for me to grant their family a piece of homestead land to build a new house. The money for the homestead land will be owed first and will be deducted from the work points at the end of the year. When the time comes, the son will be of marriageable age. They live in a new house and take a wife, while the old and the young still live in the old house.”

Although Wang Zhengguo still had some gold, silver and cash in hand, he did not want to raise his children and grandchildren to get something for nothing, and did not plan to share it with them. He was worried that they would build big bungalows and expand their yards when they had enough money. None of them knew the existence of this gold and silver, and they didn't care about the old man's savings.

When it comes to building a house, it's too much to do too much. Without even noticing, Father Lu made plans to flip the house over.

Father Lu nodded understandingly, "Xibao has two pieces of homestead land in his hands. The area is neither big nor small. Because it is located at the east and middle of our production team, Acheng and Ayu want to build their houses near our home. So it’s useless. How about I tell Xibao that I’ll transfer the two pieces of homestead to your two sons, and then give it to us when we have money, so that we don’t have to owe the brigade.”

One of the two homesteads was given to Xibao by a lonely old man who found the brigade party secretary before he died and left it in black and white to Xibao. The reason was that Xibao spent the last period of his life with him, preventing him from starving and freezing.

The other homestead was acquired by Xibao three or four years ago in exchange for thirty kilograms of wheat, one hundred kilograms of dried sweet potatoes and two packets of brown sugar.

Wang Zhengguo thought for a moment and discussed with Xibao.

Xibao said without hesitation: "If my cousin wants to build a house, just take it. It's empty anyway, and our family has no plans to build a house there. But uncle, grandpa, you can't treat me badly!"

"Don't worry, if I give you eighty yuan for a homestead, you will be your two cousins' creditor."

Those two homesteads are about the same size as the Guanyu land, and the smaller ones are also limited. Although they are smaller than the total area of ​​the old house and yard of the Lu Jiang family, the living standards have improved and the prices are more expensive than more than ten years ago, so Priced at eighty.

. . In the previous chapter, the price of the Guan family homestead was changed from two hundred to eighty, which does not affect the plot. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was quite popular in rural areas to exchange grain for private homestead land. My family's old homestead land was exchanged for 30 pounds of wheat. In the late 1980s, when my parents got married, the price of homestead land had soared to 2,000 yuan.
