Chapter 179 Qingxi Town 2
"Number 1!" Zhao Zhuang held up the ball with number 1 on it and showed it to Zhao Qiang and Li Juhua. He had drawn the number of the land.
"Number 69!" Zhao Wang drew Tiandi's number.
The corners of Zhao Qiang and Li Juhua's mouths twitched, and their brows knitted together. What's wrong with these two kids' bad luck?
Zhao Xi asked in confusion, "No. 1, No. 69, are our houses and fields very far apart?"
Zhao Qing nodded and said, "That should be the case..." He looked at his parents' faces, which seemed a little bad...
Zhao Qiang took a deep breath and said, "It's okay. We have a bullock cart at home."
Li Juhua consoled him, "Well, no matter how far away it is, it's still around town. It can't be far away to other towns! Every family is the same!"
Old Mrs. Wang looked at the note given to her by the staff: Land No. 69, Field No. 68.
Old Man Lin quickly asked his four sons what number they had drawn, "Grandson, what number did you draw?"
Lin Xianpeng: "Sir, plot of land: No. 21, field: No. 38."
Old Lady Wang: "The second son's home?"
Lin Xianwan: "Granny, land: No. 52, field: No. 40."
Lin Youxiang said consciously: "Dad, Mom, the plot of land I drew is No. 29, and the field is No. 47."
Lin Youcai: "The numbers I drew were too messy."
Shen Xianglan: "I wonder if we can exchange them so that the land and fields of the whole family can be together."
Lin Youcai: “I’ll ask later.”
Old Lady Wang looked at her daughter and asked, "What number did the Shi family draw?"
Lin Hongmei held out the note to her mother, "Mom, land: No. 19, field: No. 4."
Old Man Lin leaned over to look and said, "The house is close to your eldest and fourth brothers' homes, and the location is good."
"Dad, Mom, what did you draw?" Lin Youcai looked at his father-in-law and mother-in-law and asked.
沈老头满脸笑容说道:“运气不错，地皮:3、4、5号，田地:11、13、14号。”
Shen Xianglan: "They are connected! What a coincidence?!!"
Shen Jingfu chuckled: "Dad smoked it all by himself, he grabbed it all."
Lin Youcai widened his eyes and said in surprise: "It can be done this way!!!"
Old Man Shen nodded and smiled: "Hehehe... I asked the official and he said yes!"
Old Man Lin was so angry that he slapped his thigh, "Ouch! You should have asked before you beat me."
Old Lady Wang came over and asked, "What's going on?"
As soon as Lin Youcai said this, Old Mrs. Wang regretted it so much that she kept groaning.
Lin Youcai went to the staff and asked, "Hello, can the numbers of these plots of land and fields be exchanged among the people?"
Xiao Zhu shook his head, picked up the loudspeaker and said loudly: "You can't exchange numbers with each other at will! The staff has already registered the numbers you drew. It is clearly stipulated that the number you draw is the number you get. There are tens of thousands of people who have settled in Xinghai City. Whatever number you draw is the number you get and it cannot be exchanged.
If you swap positions, who will regret it later? It will not only increase the workload of the government, but also increase the conflicts among the villagers, which will cause endless troubles every day. "
Xiao Zhu extended his hand to the middle-aged man next to him and said, "This is the mayor of Qingxi Town. He manages the affairs of the people of Qingxi Town. If you find any government officials who are incompetent, unfair, or accepting bribes in their work, you can report them directly to the Xinghai government. If the report is verified to be accurate, the government will give bonuses and political review points."
The middle-aged man took the loudspeaker and said with a smile: "Hello everyone! Welcome to join Qingxi Town and become a citizen of Qingxi Town. I am the mayor of Qingxi Town: Chen Zhiming. If you have any questions, you can come to me or other staff members of Qingxi Town."
Chen Zhiming handed the loudspeaker to the young woman next to him. The woman took the loudspeaker and said in a loud voice: "Hello everyone, I am Zhao Jiao'e, the deputy mayor of Qingxi Town. Welcome to join Qingxi Town. You can also come to me if you have any questions."
Lin Zisu was stunned. She thought there were three men coming over. Or maybe she didn't look carefully. The deputy mayor was tall and strong. In this era, women rarely have such a figure.
Lin Zisu was a little envious. If she were so tall, she would be able to fight back with confidence when she met a bad guy.
Zhao Jiao'e handed the loudspeaker to the young man next to her. The man took the loudspeaker and said loudly: "Welcome to Qingxi Town and become a citizen of Qingxi Town. I am the captain of the law enforcement team: Zhang Hai. I am responsible for petty theft, fighting, murder and arson in the town... Everyone must abide by the laws of the country and be a good citizen."
"Everyone go and look at your own land and fields. If you have any questions, you can find these three staff members, or you can go to the Xinghai government. We will go back to the government to do some work first, and you can take your time to look around." After Xiao Zhu finished speaking, he called the staff who came with him, got on the donkey cart and left.
When the two donkey carts turned around and went back, everyone started talking and took the slips of paper with numbers on them given by the staff to check their own land and fields.
Lin Youcai drove the mule slowly forward, with the two siblings sitting on his left and right. The three of them looked at the residential areas on both sides of the street, which were all about the same size.
Lin Zisu estimated that the residential area was about 300 to 400 square meters, which was a very good area.
The mule cart moved forward, and finally we saw the number 16 written on a wooden stake on the left side. Everyone got off the cart to see the fenced-off land at number 16.
Lin Zisu: "Behind the residential area we have enclosed, there are two more yards. Looking all the way here, there are three rows of residential areas on this side."
"Look, there's such a wide distance between the yards. We'll definitely need to build roads there in the future." Lin Xianwen said, pointing to the distance between his own yard and Yard No. 17.
Lin Zisu: "There are two rows of courtyards in the back, and the residents' travel routes must be planned well."
Shen Xianglan walked around her residential area and said, "It would be better to build the wall first and then repair the house."
Lin Youcai: "Let's build the wall first. It's not very convenient to get the materials for building the house into the yard."
"Just build the three walls on the left, right and back first, and leave the wall facing the road unbuilt first. Wait until the main frame of the house is built and no large materials are needed, then you can build this wall. Leave the gate larger so that it won't affect cars coming in and out." Shen Xianglan said as she gestured to the position.
"What mom said makes sense, but does the gate of the yard have to face the road?" Lin Zisu asked. It doesn't feel good to have the gate of the yard facing the road, because the road is right outside the gate.
"We need to call a Feng Shui master to look at the direction of the gate of this courtyard." Old Man Lin said as he looked with his hands behind his back, "We can't randomly decide the location."
Lin Youfu: "Every family needs to build a house and decide the location of the gate. How about we all hire a master together?"
Lin Youxiang: "There are so many houses to look at, so the Feng Shui master looks at dozens of houses a day, so he will definitely look at them casually."
Lin Youcai quickly interrupted the topic, "It's too early to talk about this now. The serious issue now is the labor and materials for building houses. Where can we get these? There are constructions going on in the city, and hundreds of families outside the city also want to build houses. There is a serious shortage of manpower, and where can we get the materials? We don't even know where to buy them."
