Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 95: The girl who cut her wrists for Jiang Lesheng?
Hearing that Wang Chunjuan had a way to get a land certificate, Hu Jianguo and Hu Jianjun were both tempted.
Jiang Tian also thought this was a good idea.
She also gave advice to her two uncles, asking the eldest uncle and the second uncle not to build their houses together.
It is best to leave a distance in between the two families, so that when the provincial road on both sides is widened, the homesteads and compensation money that the two families can get will definitely be higher than if they are mixed together.
Hu Jianjun's imagination was also opened by his niece.
"Then why don't we just find another place and build a small house for our parents. We'll all do business here in the future. When our parents get older, they can move here and it will be convenient for us to take care of them."
If it is really demolished, you can get additional compensation at that time.
At this time, Hu Jianjun didn't know what the word "demolition" meant. He just keenly realized that there might be profit in it. Anyway, Wang Chunjuan was right. With the two brothers here, they were not occupying other people's land, but just wasteland that no one wanted. If they built a house on it and lived in it, who would dare to steal their house?
This meal was so worth it!
Two days after having dinner at the Han family, the Hu Jianjun brothers found some unwanted wasteland.
The three siblings went to look at each one one by one, and finally chose a piece of land next to a stinky ditch.
It is called a piece of land, but in fact it is still a large small earthen slope covered with weeds and shrubs, with sand, gravel and cement blocks underneath. Hu Jianguo built a road when he was young. After digging a few shovels on this land, he knew that this must have been used to pile up earth and garbage when the provincial road was built before.
Later, the provincial road was repaired, but no one cleaned up the pile of garbage. Over the years, it was covered with weeds and miscellaneous trees such as locust trees, willows, elm trees, and hawthorn trees.
The three siblings chose this piece of land because although it was long and narrow, it was large enough to build a row of houses along the provincial road.
Hu Jianjun felt that Jiang Tian was right. It would be better to build the three houses separately, with some distance between them, so that it would be convenient for the three families to open up wasteland and build a vegetable garden or something.
There is also a stinky ditch behind this land, which means there must be running water underground.
Hu Jianjun planned to dig the stinky ditch a few meters deeper after the land certificate was obtained.
By then, we can store water and build a fish pond, which will make it convenient for the three families to do washing and scrubbing, and we can also raise some fish and shrimp in it.
Plant some fruit trees beside the pond, so that the family won’t have to spend money to buy fruits.
The most important thing is that the slope of this land is higher than the provincial road. Hu Jianjun plans to build the foundation of his house about ten centimeters higher than the provincial road when the land is leveled, and build a slope in front of the door. When it rains heavily, the rainwater can flow along the slope into the drainage ditch beside the provincial road, and the house will not be easily flooded.
The two brothers planned to build a house and do business here. Hu Qiongfang was the happiest. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep for several nights in a row. She wished she could wake up and find that her own house and her mother's house were all built. Then she could live with her brothers and see who would dare to bully her and her two children.
Jiang Tian was also very happy. What made her even happier was that she finally found an opportunity to meet the daughter of the gas station owner.
That was the girl who committed suicide by cutting her wrists for Jiang Lesheng in her previous life.
After gas station owner Tong Zhiyuan divorced his wife, he had no plans to find another one for the time being. As a grown man, he also had to run a business, so naturally he had no time to cook for his children.
So, on weekends, when Tong Zhiyuan's son and daughter came back , they could only eat boxed lunches with their father.
Usually when his children are not at home, Tong Zhiyuan comes to buy lunch by himself. This Sunday at noon, Tong Zhiyuan did not come, but his eldest daughter Tong Xiaoyan came.
Jiang Tian didn't know Tong Xiaoyan, but she was a regular customer in the store. She took the initiative to greet Tong Xiaoyan and asked her father why didn't he buy the lunch himself. Tong Xiaoyan shyly forced a smile and explained that her father was afraid that the dishes he bought would not suit his children's taste, so he gave money and asked her and her brother to buy the meals.
When she heard that she was the daughter of the gas station owner, Jiang Tian's big eyes lit up.
A closer look reveals that Tong Xiaoyan is not the kind of beauty who strikes people with astonishment at first sight, but she has a very good temperament, fair skin, a slim figure, and a slow and steady voice. She has a strong scholarly air and wears two pigtails, making her look like an artistic female student in the school.
It was really hard for Jiang Tian to believe that such a well-behaved girl could be so depressed as to commit suicide for a man.
Cutting your wrists, how painful would that be?
In her previous life, when Jiang Tian was learning to cook from a master chef, she often cut her hands and her eyes were filled with tears every time. Anyway, if it were her, let alone Jiang Lesheng, even her male idol Louis Koo himself would not be able to make her commit suicide by cutting her wrists for him.
Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Jiang Tian immediately picked up the iron spoon for serving food with a smile and asked Tong Xiaoyan what she wanted to eat.
Just after coming back from school, she heard that her mother cheated on her father and they even got divorced. As a daughter, Tong Xiaoyan actually didn't have much appetite today.
But her father didn't want her and her brother to mention her mother anymore. Sometimes he asked her to do the laundry, sometimes he asked her brother to sweep the yard, and now he asked her and her brother to go out and buy lunch boxes. It was obvious that he was telling them that the family could still function without their mother .
The brother and sister had no choice but to come and buy lunch boxes.
I didn’t expect that the food served by this new lunch box shop is actually quite good.
Tong Xiaoyan asked about the price of the lunch boxes and ordered a roast duck with edamame, a roast tofu with pork belly, a spicy and sour shredded potato, a stir-fried dried tofu with chili peppers, and a stir-fried sour beans with sour chili peppers.
Tong Xiaoyan's younger brother Tong Xiaojun was drooling as he looked at the braised dishes next to him. He tugged at his sister's clothes, and Tong Xiaoyan had no choice but to ask Jiang Tian to help her get another piece of braised pork ribs.
Seeing that she had served the meal and was about to leave, Jiang Tian hurriedly stopped her.
"We also have free kimchi. You can go get some and try it. It's free."
He pointed to another table.
There were indeed several people queuing up to get kimchi.
Tong Xiaoyan had no appetite at first, and was still worried about how her mother was doing.
Unexpectedly, the kimchi made by Jiang Tian was so delicious, sour, spicy and refreshing. I finished a bowl of rice with the kimchi without realizing it.
When she came to get food in the evening, she couldn't help but order some extra kimchi. She felt bad about it, so when she paid, she gave Hu Qiongfang an extra dime as money for the kimchi.
How could Hu Qiongfang want this dime? Unexpectedly, Tong Xiaoyan left the money and ran away.
Jiang Tian was worried that she had no chance to get to know her, so with this excuse, after finishing dinner, she filled a lunch box with kimchi, said hello to Hu Qiongfang, and went to the gas station to deliver the kimchi.
