As soon as Xiao Jiu returned to the hospital, she threw herself into her busy work, sometimes not returning home until midnight.
Zhao Lingli was worried about her health, so she always cooked meals and sent them to her, but even so, she never had time to eat.
Later, I simply went home at noon and asked my mother to cook more so I could keep it in my own space, thus saving them the trouble of traveling back and forth.
The couple split up during the day; Tao Changyi went out to find a suitable house, while Zhao Lingli returned to the military compound to start tilling the yard.
Although planting vegetables in Heilongjiang Province doesn't start until May, that didn't stop her from fertilizing the soil in her yard in advance.
Blackwing and the others took turns going out to play with Zhao Lingli, as keeping them confined in the space all the time was not good for their growth.
With these big black dogs protecting her, Xiao Jiu can rest assured about their safety.
After a full two weeks of turmoil, Xiao Jiu finally had a chance to catch her breath.
“I’ve looked at several houses, and they’re all houses built by people who have no descendants. The foundation is still there, but large areas have collapsed, and they’ll have to be rebuilt.”
Has your household registration been transferred to Heilongjiang Province?
You'll need to sign a homestead transfer contract with the village, along with an agreement not to participate in the village's land and grain distribution, and then file it with the commune. The house will be there, but the household registration won't be. Make a written commitment, and that land will be ours.
But for us out-of-towners, it's not so easy. Not only do we have to sign a contract according to the local regulations, but the price is also higher. We even have to register with the Public Security Bureau and the commune, and only after they approve it can they transfer the rights to the homestead to us.
After listening, Xiao Jiu nodded in agreement.
"That's only right. We're just building a house to live in; we don't occupy anyone else's household registration, so naturally we're not entitled to any land or grain."
Her previous talk of demolition was just a joke.
Even if this place is really relocated in the future, she won't get much compensation. If she had hoped to get rich from this, she probably would have starved to death long ago.
"What's the local atmosphere like? Are there any neighboring houses?"
This was something Xiao Jiu had specifically instructed beforehand, and Tao Changyi searched for the items according to this standard.
"Yes, there is, but the location is a bit remote. It's called Guanshantun, and the village was almost completely wiped out during the war."
Even with the influx of migrants and their numerous births over the years, the population has never exceeded one hundred.
The entire village has only about twenty households, and none of them are very wealthy, but they have a lot of land and a lot of farmland.
The village chief said that as long as you pay, you can build as much as you want, and they won't interfere.
However, each household has to pay 100 yuan for the homestead land; there are no other fees besides this.
I've been to this village. There's no xenophobia, the people are simple and honest, and the ratio of boys to girls is about the same.
Girls have a lot of say, and the idea of valuing boys over girls doesn't seem to work here.
From this perspective, this village is quite nice!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu immediately became interested.
When the weekend came, my eighth sister and I rode our bikes with our father to Guanshan Village to take a look.
Xiao Jiu fell in love with the place after just one visit.
"Great job, Dad. You've chosen a really good place."
Although it is more than ten miles away from the city, it is nestled among mountains and rivers, with a beautiful environment and abundant resources.
The reason they are poor is that they don't have any side businesses, mainly because there isn't enough labor, so they can't develop their businesses.
The small village could only rely on the commune and could not compare with the large villages with larger populations, but they were hardworking and pragmatic, so they never went hungry!
Otherwise, with their fertile black soil, once the population grows, isn't development just a matter of time?
It has mountains and rivers, and the people are simple and honest. The key point is that there are not many restrictions on the land for building houses.
Xiao Jiu immediately went to the village chief to complete the land use permit procedures.
Tang Cuilan also liked this place very much, especially since she was a rural resident and could register her household here.
"Sister, actually, the countryside back home isn't as comfortable as the countryside here. Here, you work for half a year and rest for half a year!"
Moreover, if you and Yiyi settle here, you will be allocated land directly.
Didn't you hear what the village chief said? The policy of distributing land to individual households has been implemented, and the land will be distributed after this year's autumn harvest.
If you register your household now, you can get land allocation by the end of the year. Since you're not planning to go back anyway, having land will put your mind at ease, right?
Tang Cuilan was still hesitating when Tao Changyi said, "The land distribution in the Northeast is quite large. If you can't manage to farm it all in the future, you can hire someone to help you."
Xiao Jiu seemed to have thought of something and patted Tang Cuilan on the shoulder.
"I know you don't want Yiyi and the others to go back to the countryside."
But sister, the household registration policy is still that if the mother has a rural household registration, the child also has a rural household registration. This will change in the future.
Trust me, getting residency first and acquiring property and land is a fallback plan for you, isn't it?
Even if we may not stay here in the future, we must at least protect our immediate interests.
The house will definitely be completed by the end of this year, and we can renovate it next year.
When your lease expires in the city, you can move in directly.
Although the village chief said that we could freely enclose and use the area, Xiao Jiu was not one to be ignorant of such matters.
Their primary concern is their own family size; as long as there's enough space to live, they can leave reasonable and legal space in front and behind to grow vegetables and a small amount of grain.
Although rural areas are not managed now, there will be times when they are. The best approach is to ensure that construction is reasonable and justified.
To avoid trouble later.
Therefore, the residential land for both families was ultimately determined to be within 100 square meters of usable floor area.
This is the area belonging solely to the homestead; the front and back yards are enclosed according to the normal area of other households in the village.
Although it was the 1980s, most houses were still made of adobe.
Considering the development trends in the next few years and the geographical location of this area.
Xiao Jiu decided to first build three single-story houses with red bricks, and then add mud-brick and tile houses around them.
In this way, the house's insulation is guaranteed.
It doesn't look out of place from the outside, and the interior of the house can be flat and low, which is conducive to keeping the house warm in winter.
Although this will increase construction costs, it's worth the trouble for the sake of future comfort.
In Heilongjiang Province, the main room is actually the kitchen in winter.
To the left and right of the entrance are the stoves for heating the kang (a traditional heated bed), one on each side.
In winter, the kang (heated brick bed) can be heated at the same time as water can be boiled and cooking can be done, which saves firewood.
In the summer, a makeshift kitchen is made by setting up a shed and a stove outside.
When guests come to your home, you are usually invited into the bedroom to sit on the kang (a heated brick bed) and chat.
The kang (heated brick bed) occupies at least half of the entire bedroom, and includes a kang cabinet for storing bedding and a kang table for dining.
The remaining space in the bedroom can be used for tables and cabinets. The floor is usually just paved with red bricks, and even laying a layer of cement on top is considered a luxury.
At this time, the ground was mostly compacted soil. Although it was dirty, every household did it this way, so it didn't feel dirty.
Xiao Jiu also stocked up on building materials, so that he could use them when he needed to repair the house. Look, the opportunity has come.
