Chapter 177: Homecoming——Change
There was no romantic encounter or anything fun on the plane back home. Bad review.
Outside the airport, Zhu Yu and Ran Jie parted ways.
Zhu Yu didn't say when we would meet again.
Ran Jie is a good bodyguard, but if he has a good home in China, Zhu Yu won't stop him.
If he wants to go out with me, that's up to him.
I transferred to the high-speed rail to the provincial capital, and then took a bus to the county where my home is located.
The Chinese New Year is almost here and there are travelers everywhere who are anxious to go home.
He hadn't been back for a few months, and the county town hadn't changed much. But Zhu Yu was used to seeing the scenery from the old and American side, and when he looked at it again, he really felt like he couldn't see enough.
Soon, the familiar feeling came back.
Zhu Yu did not go home immediately, but went to the 4S store and paid full price for a Changan CS95, a large SUV that is convenient for loading things.
Although some of the gifts he bought for his family were sent, a large part was still in the space and now he had to find a place to take them out.
This spacious trunk is a relatively good choice.
Of course, you can buy a higher-end car, but in a small county, there is no need.
It's good to be a little low-key.
After completing the formalities and putting on the temporary license plate, he tried driving a few times and regained the familiar feeling. Zhu Yu first drove the car to the shopping mall in the county town.
I bought new down jackets for my grandfather, parents, and brother, and also made a set for myself, and then I felt warmer.
The temperature in the county town must be at least ten degrees below zero, and it is estimated to reach more than twenty degrees below zero at night. Although Zhu Yu's body has been modified and can withstand freezing, it is not necessary. He still wears what he should wear.
Zhu Yu's father Zhu Dahe, mother Chen Yuejuan, and brother Zhu Fei all live in the county, but their registered residence is still in the countryside.
In the rural areas of the northwest, because the terrain is flat and the land area is relatively large, cooperatives have been established and large-scale planting has allowed every household to make more money.
So Zhu Yu's family bought a house in the county town, which was in response to the national or local official's plan to bring real estate to the countryside.
As for whether it is exploiting farmers' money, it can only be said that the benevolent has a different opinion.
After all, a town next door started centralized housing in the past two years. Each village was given a building and "farmers went upstairs" as a test site.
Although there are many benefits, after going upstairs, the original homestead was freed up and a large area of land was developed.
But what farmers are used to when they go out is that their yards are gone, their vegetable plots are no longer easy to plant, they have no place to put furniture at home, and they have no way to raise pigs and chickens.
Then the deputy head of Zhu Yu's township proposed such an idea, but he was immediately criticized by the township representatives at the meeting.
Those representatives don't care whether you are the deputy township head or something else. What farmers value is practical things.
Then most of those who made money from farming bought a house in the county and kept the homestead in the village. When the winter got cold, they slaughtered the chickens and pigs, locked the yard and went upstairs. In the spring, they returned to the village to farm.
, two without delay.
Zhu Yu's family bought a second-hand house in an old community. Although the infrastructure is not very good, the main reason is that many people in the village have bought houses here and it is convenient to live there - there are almost as many people as in the village when you go downstairs.
Grandpa Zhu Shoushan also lives upstairs. Originally, grandpa planned to stay in the village, but the family was not happy with it. Staying alone in the village at such an old age, if something happened, it would be too late to regret it.
When I drove into the community, I saw my brother Zhu Fei covering the family's electric tricycle with a tarpaulin, so he parked the car nearby and got out of the car to help.
Seeing that it was Zhu Yu, Zhu Fei was surprised and happy, and slapped his brother hard:
"You're coming back now? Why didn't you say anything? If you did, I would pick you up!"
Then he looked at the car next to Zhu Yu with a hint of envy:
"New? This car is so beautiful!"
"Brother, this car is yours." Zhu Yu said with a smile, "I guess my parents didn't buy a car at that time, so they bought one when they came back. Don't ride your tricycle in the future."
After Zhu Yu sold the Tang Dao, he transferred one million from his card to his father for his family to spend. However, Zhu Yu also guessed that his father would most likely not spend the money, and would save it for later.
Big deal.
"No, no, no, it's more convenient to farm with an electric three-wheeler." Zhu Fei shook his head, "This car can't farm, but it looks great!"
"Brother, I will drive this car during the Chinese New Year, so you can get familiar with it. When I leave, you will drive this car."
Zhu Fei has a driver's license. He got it from a tractor license a few years ago. But because his family doesn't have a car, he is not very skilled.
"Let's go home!" Zhu Fei said nothing and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "My parents and grandpa will be so happy to know that you are back!"
"Brother, take the things." Zhu Yu opened the trunk and greeted Zhu Fei while carrying the things out.
The villagers bought a house here together. Li Anyu, who was about the same age as Zhu Fei, happened to go downstairs. When he saw Zhu Fei and Zhu Yu, he was stunned for a moment and said hello:
"Hey, Xiaoyu is back? Is this a new car? It's really big! It costs a lot of money, right?"
"Not much." Zhu Yu asked while carrying something, "Brother Yuzi, what are you doing here?"
"Shopping for groceries." Li Anyu said angrily, "It's just inconvenient to live upstairs. You have to buy everything. It's not like everything in the village is good and we have to move it up. Alas."
As he said this, he glanced at the car enviously and left the community.
The two brothers moved their things up to the second floor and heard the sound of Henan Opera before they opened the door.
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"Grandpa must be listening to this."
"It's hard to go out in the winter. It's slippery outside, so grandpa only has this hobby." Zhu Fei opened the door with the key. "If it were summer, grandpa might hold the boat and go to the sea to set a net to catch fish."
Zhu Yu was amused when he thought about that scene.
As soon as the door opened, a wave of heat hit us. The two brothers carried a lot of things and put them at the door to change their slippers. Zhu Dahe heard the sound and looked at it. He was stunned for a moment and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Xiaoyu? Why didn't you say anything when you came back? Did you ask your brother to pick you up?"
Chen Yuejuan, who was busy in the kitchen, and Zhu Shoushan, who was sitting on the sofa adjusting his tablet to watch Henan Opera, both looked over.
The family immediately became lively.
The family went to bed very late that day, and the floor heater was very hot. Zhu Yu was squinting on the sofa.
Zhu Dajiang's ashes are temporarily kept at home and will be buried in the ground after spring.
The next day, Zhu Yu went to see his high school classmate Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan sells houses in a real estate company and is often seen in her circle of friends.
Now there are several people in the family. Although they live in the third room, Zhu Yu felt it was still a bit crowded when he came back.
Besides, my brother Zhu Fei already has a partner, so he will naturally need a new house when he gets married.
Jiang Yan was very happy to see Zhu Yu. She was even happier when she heard that Zhu Yu said that she wanted to buy a well-decorated house and paid the full price.
She patted Zhu Yu:
"Old classmate, I heard that you went to the beautiful country? You have made a fortune and returned home in fine clothes!"
"No, no, let's make some money." Zhu Yu smiled, "No matter how nice it is outside, it's not as good as my hometown."
"That's right." Jiang Yan looked proud. Many of her classmates went to provincial capitals or regional cities, but she insisted on staying in the county town. At least it was close to home, and she would know the benefits later.
It will take some time to go through the formalities, but the house will be confirmed immediately. With Jiang Yan here, Zhu Yu won't worry about any problems with the house.
On the third floor, there is a finely decorated elevator room. After Zhu Yu confirmed it, he went back and drove his brother Zhu Fei over:
"Brother, this will be your wedding room from now on."
