Chapter 131 Want a homestead? Dream on!
Aunt Zhou told Su Niannian the main points of what they had been waiting for to watch the play.
Especially the part where I thought Lu Xingguang bought the three-turn-one-ring for Zhao Sulan.
Su Niannian listened with great interest.
It wasn't until Aunt Zhou asked Su Niannian if Gu Nan had bought the three-wheeled watch and the sound system for her that Su Niannian snapped out of her reverie.
Gu Nan, along with Li Ergou and a friend, retrieved the three-turn-one-sound device. Su Niannian thought it must have been bought for her.
But Gu Nan went there secretly, probably wanting to give himself a surprise.
"I worked all day today, I didn't know either," Su Niannian said to everyone with an innocent expression and her big eyes blinking.
Meanwhile, Song Zhaodi, standing to the side, already had a knowing look on her face.
But since Su Niannian is pretending to be stupid, Song Zhaodi definitely won't say another word.
Seeing Su Niannian's appearance, Aunt Zhou guessed pretty much what was going on.
"Everyone, you can all leave now. Don't you all need to go home and cook?" Aunt Zhou said to the people behind her.
Although no one was sure who bought the three-turn-one-ring (a type of radio, a watch, a dial), or who it was for, they were certain that it wasn't Lu Xingguang who bought it for Zhao Sulan.
I guess I've gotten my share of gossip.
It's getting late, and everyone's the main cook at home.
They didn't want to linger there any longer, so they all went home to cook.
Aunt Zhou stayed until the very end, saying, "Gu Nan's family is small. If you need someone to cook for your wedding, feel free to ask me. I'll bring my daughter-in-law and daughter to cook for you!"
Aunt Zhou smiled happily.
Although the matter wasn't explicitly stated, Aunt Zhou wasn't stupid, and she knew more than others.
Although Gu Nan, the second son of the Gu family, is usually quiet, it is clear that he is a devoted lover.
This was something Gu Nan bought for Su Niannian; there was no suspense about it at all, according to Aunt Zhou.
That's why Aunt Zhou said that to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian smiled happily and nodded: "Thank you, Aunt Zhou!"
Aunt Zhou showed a kind expression, patted Su Niannian's hand, and went home to cook.
At this moment, Song Zhaodi, holding Su Niannian's hand, continued walking towards the educated youth settlement.
"Wow, Gu Nan actually bought a three-wheeled radio and a watch just to marry you!" Song Zhaodi was actually quite surprised.
The villagers all said that Gu Nan's family was not well off, but they didn't expect him to be so rich that he was willing to spend money to buy Su Niannian a three-wheeled radio and a speaker.
In Song Zhaodi's memory, these things were not cheap, and they might not even cost a thousand yuan in total.
What does a thousand yuan mean? Even a worker in the city would need more than four years to save that amount without eating or drinking.
Unexpectedly, Gu Nan was actually willing to spend so much money to marry Su Niannian.
But this is good too, it means that the Gu family values Su Niannian, and once Su Niannian marries into the family, she will definitely have a good life.
Thinking of this, Song Zhaodi felt a lump in her throat and a slight urge to cry.
"What are you doing?" Su Niannian felt a warmth in her heart when she saw the tears welling up in Song Zhaodi's eyes.
"I'm just happy for you that you've married into a good family!" Song Zhaodi said truthfully.
Su Niannian gave her a gentle hug.
"You will marry a very good person in the future!" Su Niannian said with a smile.
"Will it?" Song Zhaodi didn't know.
However, Song Zhaodi had heard her mother say since she was a child that she and her sisters were only there to exchange for dowry money for their younger brother.
It's likely that Song Zhaodi's future marriage will also be influenced by her family.
Thinking about this, Song Zhaodi couldn't help but worry about her future self.
Fortunately, now that the emperor is far away, I can still live a happy life.
"You can find a man in Kaoshan Village," Su Niannian suggested.
Song Zhaodi had never thought about this question before, but now that Su Niannian said it, perhaps...
"But if I do that, my family will break my legs!" Song Zhaodi thought about what would happen if she found someone to marry in the countryside.
My family knows, and they'll definitely do it.
He himself is no good.
"Once you find someone you love, I'll help you find a way to get away from your family," Su Niannian promised, patting her chest.
Song Zhaodi nodded heavily.
"Yes! I believe you!" After saying that, Song Zhaodi smiled and took Su Niannian's hand as they returned to the educated youth settlement.
For some reason, Song Zhaodi felt that Su Niannian had a certain charm!
She possesses a charm that makes people believe in her unconditionally!
Song Zhaodi likes Su Niannian very much and hopes that Su Niannian can be happy and joyful in the future.
She also hopes that she can live her own happy life, just like Su Niannian said, and not be sold by her family to pay for her younger brother's dowry.
On the other hand, Lu Xingguang and Zhao Sulan did not go directly back to the educated youth settlement.
Instead, she took her marriage certificate to Jiang Aiguo.
It was agreed before that once we got our marriage certificate, we could get a plot of land at the base.
The two arrived at Jiang Aiguo's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in," Jiang Aiguo said from inside his office.
Lu Xingguang led Zhao Sulan inside.
"The marriage certificate is ready. Shouldn't we be able to get a plot of land for our house in the village now?" Lu Xingguang took out the marriage certificate and placed it in front of Jiang Aiguo.
"It's all done, congratulations." Jiang Aiguo said perfunctorily.
“There are no more homesteads in the village now, and since you two are both former educated youth, you can’t get homesteads through the review process.” Jiang Aiguo said in a businesslike manner.
"Hmm?" Lu Xingguang frowned and looked at Jiang Aiguo.
He didn't say that before, did he?
"That's not what you said before, is it?" Lu Xingguang suspected that Jiang Aiguo was making things difficult for him.
"What I meant before was that since you're married, it's inconvenient for you to live in the educated youth settlement, so I'll find you a place in the village."
Jiang Aiguo thought for a moment and then began to speak.
"..."
"Isn't this the same thing?" Lu Xingguang asked, puzzled.
“Of course they’re different. You’re talking about the village giving you a piece of land, I’m talking about the village lending you a house!” Jiang Aiguo said again.
These two want to divide up the village's residential land? Dream on!
If the educated youth made any significant contributions to the village, then they were entitled to the land.
These two did such dirty and despicable things, and they still want a homestead? They're dreaming!
"So what do you mean? Which house will we get?" Lu Xingguang was already getting impatient.
However, given Jiang Aiguo's status, it was still necessary to communicate with him politely.
"The house where you did your business that night has been unoccupied for a long time, so we'll let you stay there for now."
Jiang Aiguo emphasized the word "borrow".
At this moment, Lu Xingguang's face turned pale and then flushed.
Putting aside how dilapidated the house was, the memories within it were something Lu Xingguang was ashamed of.
He was arrested and beaten up over there, and he was still with Zhao Sulan...
