Ying County was changed from a county to a city in August last year, and its name changed. It is now called Donglai City. After getting off National Highway 206, Fu Song found a tall propaganda sign erected beside the road, which read "The people of Donglai welcome you."

Fu Song smiled knowingly: "It's quite up to date with the times."

Xu Guoqing said: "Last year, National Highway 308 was opened to traffic, so Qin Island was doing this. By the way, Qin Island started construction again last year. Our second-class highway is like 206, and we are behind."

"Take it slow." Fu Song knew that this newly started first-class highway, if you guessed correctly, it should be the famous National Highway 204, with the end of Shanghai. After opening to traffic, as long as you drive from the Peninsula to the Yangtze River Delta, you will definitely take this road.

Chu Linlin lives in Shahe, not far from the county town. Fu Song originally wanted to go to her house to sit, but she said nothing that she would let Fu Song take her to the door, and insisted on getting off the bus at the entrance of the village.

Seeing her appearance, Fu Song stopped forcing her and said, "If you hold the things in the trunk, I won't go down."

Chu Linlin didn't be polite to him, took out the things and put them on the roadside, waved her hand into the car, and waited for the car to disappear, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she rubbed for a while before she walked towards the village with her things.

I heard countless compliments along the way, but she couldn't be happy and forced a smile to greet her.

"Sister, you're back!"

As soon as she heard the shouting, she knew that my younger brother was coming to greet her.

Chu Linlin has three brothers and sisters. She is the eldest, and there are two younger brothers below. The older one is Chuping. She is already at the age of discussing marriage. This is Chu Yang, the youngest in the family, and she is only in the sixth grade now.

Seeing the little brother running out of breath, she finally showed a happy smile on her face and touched his head: "How do you know I'm back?"

"I saw a black car parked at the entrance of the village in the bungalow. I guess you are back."

Chu Yang looked like he wanted to get close but didn't dare to get close. Just because his elder sister was dressed so well, she looked down at the little black hand who had just finished dismantling the firecrackers, and hurriedly hid her hands behind her.

Chu Linlin pretended not to see it, looked up at the other side of her home, and asked, "My parents are at home?"

"Well, I know you're back today, sister, I'll help you get something." Chu Yang snatched the things in her hand, turned them up while walking, and saw that he had his favorite chocolate, and was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about it.

My home is still the same. The only change is that there is a new four-room tile house next to it, which she paid for her second brother to build.

Building a new house and splitting the family is the request of the second brother’s parents, otherwise the marriage will not be done.

The conditions for the Chu family can only be considered average. After graduating from junior high school, Chuping was idle at home and felt too tired to farm. He went out to do odd jobs. He also fished for three days and two days to dry the net. He was twenty-two people. Not only did he not like a penny, but he also asked his parents for money every now and then.

Life in the countryside has not been very easy in the past two years. Just relying on her parents to dig food from the soil, let alone a new house, I can’t even get a bride price of 1,000 yuan.

The house is okay, but Chu Linlin only wanted to hear about the bride price of 1,000 yuan. Even the city people dare not ask for so many bride prices when they get married. Why is your family?

She knew that the reason why the woman spoke up was just for her sister's wallet.

Isn’t it natural for my sister to spend money on my younger brother?

Even her parents thought so. Her mother Xu Xiuying said that her daughter would get married sooner or later, and why would she have to pay so much money? She even asked her for a passbook, saying that the money would be left to her younger brother rather than being cheaper than being outsiders.

She wanted to laugh at that time, but she couldn't laugh.

Before going abroad last year, she worked for a year, with her salary plus various subsidies and benefits, no more or less, and she saved 10,000 yuan.

But she didn't want to pay the money because she felt that the partner she was looking for was really unbearable. Should she marry her daughter or sell her daughter? But her second brother was determined not to marry her, and even shouted at her for this.

Although her father didn't say anything, Xu Xiuying wiped her tears and scolded her for being heartless.

At this point, you have to pay for this money if you don’t pay it. The 10,000 yuan I just saved is gone.

Chuping ran out of the new house and said from a distance: "Sister, why did you come back!"

Chu Linlin came to her senses, looked at him, and asked lightly: "Can you live in someone over there?"

Chu Ping rubbed his hands and said, "How can I do it? There is no furniture. Sister, my partner said that I will need three more items before getting married. Look..."

Chu Linlin's face suddenly looked ugly. It was furniture and three major items. Nowadays, the three major items are not bicycles, watches, sewing machines, but refrigerators, TVs, and washing machines. It costs five or six thousand yuan to buy them all.

What do you think of me? ATM?

Seeing that Chu Linlin didn't speak, Chu Ping didn't care. She didn't speak well. She still had parents?

Sure enough, when Chu Linlin entered the door, before her butt was warm, Xu Xiuying started nagging.

After tossing and turning, it was still the few words that last year, and there was no innovation at all. Chu Linlin's ears were almost calloused when she heard them.

"How much does it cost?" Chu Linlin asked directly without wanting to suffer such torture again.

She increased her salary in the second half of last year, and now she has saved more than 7,000 yuan on hand, thinking that this is the last time.

Fortunately, the subsidy for the two overseas trips was the big one, and it was still US dollars. Fu Song has always been very stingy with her. The sum of all the miscellaneous items was nearly 20,000 US dollars. All of this money was stored in Xiangjiang's account, and no one told her. It was her private money, which was also her confidence.

In the past two years, Mucheng has been engaged in real estate development. The new building she built is spacious and beautiful. She has planned to save money in the next two years and then buy a small apartment of about 60 square meters.

With your own house, you no longer have to look at anyone's face.

She is now increasingly agreeing with Fu Song's words: Only when a person is free from wealth can he gain true freedom.

Xu Xiuting's eyes lit up: "Then how many do you have?"

"Five thousand." Chu Linlin was careful and said less than two thousand.

Chu Ping jumped up: "Sister, you could even take out 10,000 yuan last summer, why are you only 5,000 yuan now?"

Chu Linlin rolled her eyelids and said, "The salary for half a year is only so much, do you want it?"

Xu Xiuting smashed her mouth and said, "This is not enough, it's far from it. Your brother wants to buy a motorcycle."

When Chu Linlin heard this, she almost fainted and held back her anger: "I only have 7,000 yuan on hand, and I'll lose a penny."

Xu Xiuting and her husband Chu Yongfu looked at each other and said, "I promised Xu Jianjun next to your grandma's house that you will meet Xiaojun tomorrow."

Chu Linlin said expressionlessly: "Whoever loves to go, I won't go anyway."
