Rebirth's Private Kitchen

On the day Kang Ye left for dinner, Tang Lin and his family received a call from the village party secretary right after dinner.The village party secretary will send a representative down to Tangjia Village on Sunday to discuss land reclamation and building houses with everyone. It is best for each household to send a person in charge, and everyone will gather on the hillside for a brief meeting.

When the mother-in-law came back at night, she also heard about it.She took the teapot and tea set, went to the kitchen to wash it, and poured a cup of Tieguanyin for Mr. Tang and Tang Lin.

"I went to Xiaotang Village in front of me today to find my little sister. The little sister told me that the land in their village had just been filled in not long ago. And I also heard that the villages on our side seem to have plans to fill in the land, close to the town The nearby villages are all filled in."

"Our Tangjia Village has also built a lot of buildings in the past few years. Now that the young people have earned money from going out, who doesn't take the money back to build houses for themselves? The old Xu's land is independent, and the new house was built on the ground last year. It's a wedding room, it's the general trend." After finishing his speech, Mr. Tang picked up his teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat.

"That's right. People in our generation are old, and the next time we harvest vegetables, we won't be obedient. Besides, we can't make money by farming now. Who is willing to do it for young people? We are tired and have no money. Now and It was different in the past." The old lady was a little emotional, who in her age has never planted land and sold vegetables when they are young?In the past, if a family had more fields, it meant that the family was in a good position. If there was no land, people would feel that the leaves had fallen and had no roots. Now, with the development of the times, farming is not practical anymore.

"It's not a bad thing. The wasteland in front of our house is huge, and it's a pity to leave it unused. It's not that the village didn't have any ideas about land reclamation in the past two years. Didn't Zuo Dong's family say that they wanted to fill in the land and build a new house during the Spring Festival this year?" Is it?" Mr. Tang said.

Tang Lin nodded, it really happened.Uncle Zuo Dong lived near the small hillside. His family used to raise pigs. The two husband and wife worked hard, and the four children under their knees were also promising, and all the money they earned was brought back.They refurbished their old house the year before last, and this year it seems that their pockets are a little richer, so they want to fill in the land and build a new house for their children.Four children, two boys and two girls. Both girls are married, and the two boys are the youngest, but they are both old enough to get married. I heard that they started dating girls before the Spring Festival. It seems that the results are good. Doesn’t this require a wedding room? Well.

In the past five years, Tangjia Village has declined a lot.There is no way this can be done. In the past five years, many young people have gone out one after another, and those who stay are grandparents in their 80s and [-]s, and some young children.It is usually around the Spring Festival that it is more lively, and the village is quiet again after the Spring Festival.And old people will always get old. The old lady in the family next to Tang Lin's family passed away not long ago.

On Sundays, people working in the town or city, and people who are closer to Tangjia Village have returned to the village.Each household moved their own stools to the hillside.

Tang Lin surrounded the area, followed by some uncles and aunts who watched the fun, and just stood there listening to the head of the village party secretary.

The phone vibrated twice in his trouser pocket, it was a text message from Su Zhi.When Tang Lin replied to the message, he told him what happened in Tangjia Village by the way, and Su Zhi quickly replied.

Tang Lin laughed out loud when he said "do you need help?", which caused people around him to look at him more.After laughing, he suddenly thought of the status of the Su family in Beijing Province mentioned by Mr. Tang, and suddenly realized that Su Zhi's text message was probably not a joke.

Could it be that Tang Lin asked Su Zhi for help, but Su Zhi really agreed?The land reclamation and house building in the village is such a big deal... Thinking about it carefully, it is really possible for Su Zhi to buy Tang Lin's land directly with a huge sum of money.Thinking of this, Tang Lin coughed several times, and quickly replied a message to reject his kindness.

The meeting on land reclamation and house building started soon, and the meeting went on and on in the same way. Tang Lin had heard it in his previous life. In fact, after all, the village party secretary agreed to land reclamation and house building.But this matter is not a family discussion, and finally let everyone go back to communicate, and call their village office next week.

The people below were all muttering and talking. Some people disagreed, but most of them were still on the sidelines.Tang Lin knew that in the next few days, people in the village would often gather in twos and threes to discuss land reclamation and building houses. Anyway, no matter how the process was, housing construction was the actual need of many households in the village, and land reclamation would happen sooner or later.

After the person in charge finished talking about land reclamation and house building, he made the people below to be quiet, and dropped another bomb.

"Recently, the higher-ups have allocated funds. Our village office thinks that we can use this money to build a basketball court and playground in Tangjia Village. By the way, we can build a public toilet at the intersection. This is a good thing. , I hope everyone can support it.”

"How big is the basketball court? Where can we build it here?" An old man at the bottom was the first to throw out the question.

The person in charge pointed to a cemetery in front of him and said: "We also find it difficult to handle this matter. Our idea is to use this land to build a basketball court. If this is the case, there are still graves in front of your graves." Those old brick and tile latrines have been moved and demolished."

The person in charge's words instantly sparked discussions among the people present.The old toilet made of bricks in front of the tomb was also demolished, and the cesspool was smelly anyway.There is no one to plant the land, and it is useless to keep the cesspit.But the matter of moving the cemetery made everyone feel troubled, especially the family members of this cemetery had the biggest opinion.

"I think it is a good thing to build a playground and a basketball court. The same is true for Datou Village. A cement basketball court was built at the intersection. It is a big place, and many children like to go there to play. Our children shout every day to go there. If we This is built, which is a good thing for young people."

"Yes, our relatives and their children who come to visit us during the Spring Festival often say that there is nothing to play here, and it is very boring, and some of them don't like to come here. We have built a basketball court or something, and it is lively and lively. I think it is good."

The two uncles and aunts beside Tang Lin were talking in a low voice, Tang Lin listened distractedly and nodded slightly.Many villages near Tangjia Village have built some entertainment facilities in the past two years, which are very popular among young people.

The meeting ended quickly, and the person in charge left after speaking.Tang Lin moved Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang's stools, and the three of them went back to the small villa.When they left, there were still many people on the other side of the hillside, sitting or carrying stools, making a group in twos and threes, and they were expressing their opinions on today's "filling land to build houses" and "moving graves" .

Mr. Tang pulled out the long cigarette pipe from the side of the sofa, and smoked slowly "pattapatta".Curly clouds of smoke floated in the air and soon dissipated.

Granny Xi went back to her house to clean up the house, but Tang Lin didn't put the stool back in its original place, but put it directly in front of the coffee table, and sat down on it.

"Grandpa, do you think it's a good thing to build a playground and public toilets? I don't think everyone is too happy to relocate graves." Tang Lin asked with a smile.

Mr. Tang glanced at him and said, "Aren't you happy? The grave on the hillside is just a matter of a few families, and the construction of a playground is a matter of a whole village. What do you think they can change if they are happy?"

Really can't change anything, who doesn't have children and young people in every household?Even some big men in their 30s also like to play a basketball twice from time to time.What's more, the village office didn't simply build a basketball court, but also built a concrete flat. Who in every household got married or put on a party and didn't like to put it on the flat?Everyone likes it.Tang Lin muttered in his heart.

"Don't think about it too much, kid. Just do your own thing well. There's still a month's exam, so read your books carefully." Mr. Tang took a puff of cigarette, and then asked, "Will you go back to school tonight for evening self-study? "

Tang Lin lay on the coffee table and said lazily, "I won't go back. I'll take the earliest bus back to school tomorrow morning. It's not like you don't know that my grades are hanging, so it's just a formality."

"Nothing." Mr. Tang cursed.

Tang Lin touched his nose.

Mr. Tang squeezed a small handful of tobacco and said, "By the way, what do you think after the college entrance examination, to be a cooking assistant?"

Tang Lin shook his head and said, "I'm thinking of opening a private restaurant." To be more specific, Tang Lin didn't have any ideas yet.

After hearing this, Mr. Tang didn't say anything, and he seemed to be thinking deeply.Holding the long pipe, he tapped the tea table twice and said, "Go, go, cook."
