Chapter 1326
Yang Ming walked over directly and took the bedroll from Wang Ergou's back: "Back?"
Wang Ergou showed a happy and shy smile, looking at the restaurant with some disbelief: "Brother Yang Ming, is this really a store opened by my brother?"
"Yes. Come in."
Wang Xiaoming also walked over and looked at his brother with a smile on his face: "I'm back just in time. I need your help if I need anything."
It was already the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month when Wang Ergou had a holiday. They only had two weeks of winter vacation before and after their senior year of high school, and school would start on the eighth day of the lunar month. But he came back at the right time. The store needed help, and Yang Ming also had to deal with the settlement issue.
Settling down is a big deal. You must first get the consent of the village cadres, especially for an island like theirs that is waiting to be developed. There have been rumors that someone wants to buy this island a few years ago, which will face the problem of demolition. In this case, it is necessary to register the household registration. Not very easy.
Wang Xiaoming considered these issues and felt that he had to go there himself. If the village agreed to settle down, he would let Wang Ergou go through the formalities. Early the next morning, he and Wang Ergou went back to the island. Before leaving, he told Zhang Yiwei that if his classmates came over, just take them to the largest private room upstairs. If he couldn't come back in time, he would give them a 20% discount. .
Returning to the island, Wang Xiaoming found that the island was very deserted and there were not many tourists because of the Chinese New Year. Several old acquaintances who used to set up stalls together greeted him: "Xiao Ming, you didn't go to the island to make a fortune, why did you come back when you had time?"
Wang Xiaoming smiled and said: "This is my home, so of course I have to come back. How are you all lately?"
A grandma pursed her lips and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. We won't let you set up a stall. You can eat ready-made food at home and be happy and relaxed."
An old man didn't take it seriously: "If you set up a stall now, you won't get much business."
"It's true. Since you went to the county to open a restaurant, fewer people have come to the island. Hehe, even their restaurant named Luo has no business. This is really retribution! Xiao Ming, you know, you didn't It's all Luo Maogang and his son-in-law's fault for letting us set up a stall. They think we stole their hotel business and cut off so many of us' money in one fell swoop. It's really unethical, ah!" Grandma said and vomited on the ground. Spit.
"So that's it?" Wang Xiaoming looked at everyone in surprise. They all seemed to know about this. Who spread the news? However, there is no airtight wall in the world. If you want others to be unaware, you have to do nothing yourself. If this happens, the Luo family will completely lose popularity on the island.
Grandma sneered: "No. It has been rumored recently that Luo Maogang's son-in-law wants to buy our island, saying that he will build a bridge on the sea. In the future, villas will be built here for rich people to live in, and we people will be kicked out. .You have done so many immoral things, and you are not afraid of losing your descendants!"
An uncle said: "It's not like I won't give you the subsidy. It will be nice to live in the city in the future. It will be clean and convenient." When it comes to selling the island, most of the people on the island have the following two attitudes: the older ones are worried that they will leave for generations. Where they live, young people think that they can use the demolition subsidies to buy a house on the other side. After all, living on the island is too inconvenient.
Grandma didn't take it seriously: "I just like living on the island. What's good in the city is like a bird cage. You can't see the sky or the ground. There will be no place for those birds to stay in the future."
Speaking of practical topics, everyone nodded in approval. No matter how inconvenient the island is, it is the place where their ancestors have lived for generations and is their home. If this is really sold, those mountains and forests will probably be pushed away, and the entire ecological environment will be destroyed. After being destroyed, is the island still the same island?
Wang Xiaoming frowned when he heard this. Is Huang Jiangong planning to buy the island? How much would it cost to buy this island and build a cross-sea bridge? The Huang family is so rich? Maybe he doesn't need to be rich, as long as he has connections. He can borrow chickens and eggs from the bank and become the master of the island without paying a penny.
Wang Xiaoming said goodbye to everyone and went to the village chief's house. Wang Ergou gritted his teeth and asked: "Brother, is it really what they said, that the Luo family didn't let us set up a stall on the island? It's really insidious. If you have the ability, you will do it openly, but if you can't do it, you will resort to underhanded tactics. It's really despising. .”
Wang Xiaoming sighed: "That's not what it means to be rich and powerful."
Wang Ergou said bitterly: "It's so damn wicked! It makes so many people unable to do business. This bastard named Huang has never done any good things, and he still wants to buy an island."
Wang Xiaoming shook his head: "It's not his decision to sell the island. If the government is not willing, who can buy it?"
"They are all short-sighted guys." Wang Ergou said bitterly.
Wang Xiaoming went to the village chief and explained his intention. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was rejected by the village chief. Wang Xiaoming had expected this. He said: "Uncle, this is also what our local police station meant. Yang Ming has lost his memory and does not have a household registration, so it is inconvenient to manage, so he asked me to come to the village to settle down."
"Xiao Ming, if Yang Ming is a woman and marries you, and her household registration is transferred to your family, this is natural and natural, and no one can say anything. But who is he to you now, how can he move, and in what name? This I can’t convince the public. Besides, we may have to be demolished, and everyone is watching. I’m going to give you an opening. In the future, those who get married or move outside will all have to change their household registrations back. How should I explain to the villagers? ?” What the village chief said is not unreasonable. It is indeed difficult to obtain a rural household registration now, especially in areas that are yet to be developed.
"Uncle, the police at the police station told me that if you live here, you can also have a non-agricultural household registration. In the future, he won't have a share in the land and money. Isn't this okay?" Fortunately, Liu Hao was thoughtful and had expected it. There will be such a situation.
The village chief was stunned for a moment: "What? Non-agricultural household registration?"
Wang Xiaoming said: "Yes, as long as you register a household registration and have proof of identity."
The village chief was a little shaken: "I have to hold a meeting to discuss this with everyone."
Wang Xiaoming said: "Uncle, can you help me settle this matter as soon as possible? You also know the situation of my family. My father passed away suddenly back then, and that brat A Lin failed to live up to expectations. He also got into trouble with loan sharks and owed you money." I haven't been able to repay the money for so many years, but now thanks to Yang Ming's help, I think if I can repay the loan shark before the year, I will be the first to pay you back next year."
At that time, the village chief had a good relationship with Wang Xiaoming's father, Wang Lisheng. After Wang Lisheng's death, the village chief still owed 20,000 yuan in the bill. At that time, Wang Xiaoming's mother remarried, leaving only three Wang Xiaoming brothers. Village cadres naturally have to take care of the orphans in the village. Wang Lisheng has never been in a hurry to ask Wang Xiaoming to repay the debt owed to him. There is no reason for urging, and it is also because it is a gambling debt.
