In the apocalypse of natural disasters, ordinary people can still live wonderfully

The eldest brother-in-law Wen Wu asked Wen's father to help mediate the homestead of the old house.

When Gu Mi saw this foundation for the first time, Gu Mi decided that this was it.

This is her dream home.

The homestead is located in Fenghuang Village, Fenghuang City, Shanxi Province on the Loess Plateau, which is the hometown of Wen and Wu.

Phoenix City is located in the southernmost part of Shanxi Province, bordering Henan Province and bounded by the Yellow River.

Phoenix City is right beside the Yellow River. It has complex geological structures and rich mineral resources, including coal, iron, gold, silver, copper, mirabilite, limestone, marble, silica, etc.

Fenghuang Village is in Fenghuang County, which is northwest of Phoenix City and more than 30 kilometers away from the center of Phoenix City.

Phoenix got its name from its topography.

The entire Fenghuang County is like the slightly raised tail of the Phoenix, and Fenghuang City is the body of the Phoenix.

The terrain of Phoenix City is low, with an altitude of 867 meters. The terrain of Fenghuang County is more than 1000 meters higher than that of Phoenix City, with the highest altitude reaching 2321.8 meters.

The terrain of Fenghuang County is unique, consisting of mountains and rivers. Each mountain range has spawned large villages throughout the ages. They were built along the mountains, living and thriving by the water.

Viewed from a high altitude, the entire Phoenix City looks like a phoenix swooping down from high altitude.

Phoenix City is the head and body of the Phoenix, while Fenghuang County is like the feathers on the Phoenix's tail.

Imagery and spectacular.

There are 16 natural villages like Fenghuang Village in the entire Fenghuang County, with one on each feather, winding and stretching for thousands of miles.

As early as 1994, Fenghuang County was applying to remove the county and establish a city.

After so many years of migration from cities to rural areas, Fenghuang County in recent years can no longer be treated as a county. Even villages like Fenghuang Village have become the back gardens of urban people.

The courtyard house that the customer is interested in is located in the northwest corner of the village.

Directly behind the house and to the north is farmland. At the end of the farmland is a new building under construction, about 1 kilometer away.

The land for the property was purchased from the village, and small high-rise buildings and villa areas are to be built.

The small high-rise building is divided into 5 areas, each area is small, with only about ten buildings, with the highest being 17 floors.

These five areas are fan-shaped and guard the villa area at the back. The building area and the villa area are separated by a 5-lane road.

There are 30 houses in the villa area, with 3 floors above ground and 2 floors underground.

This is a villa resort community under development. It is said that the fine decoration will be delivered, and the keys are expected to be issued by the end of 2033.

You don't need to enter the village to get to the "back garden". The developer will open a 4-lane asphalt road on the side of the village, directly connecting to the outside of the village.

At present, the foundation of the house has just been broken, and the road will be paved at the end. Only a dirt road has been compacted from the farmland to transport building materials.

There is a mountain about 1 km north of the villa.

The mountain is not high, with a gentle slope going straight up. It has been developed into a forest park, with dense trees and interspersed pavilions, making it a natural oxygen bar.

The west side of Gumi's homestead is also fertile farmland. When the crops are in full swing in summer, the greenery spreads out and there is no edge in sight. Gu Mi rented 5 or 6 acres in front of the homestead and planted a large area of ​​corn and sweet potatoes.

About 1 kilometer further west of the homestead is a large river flowing quietly.

The water is a branch of the Yellow River. It is not clear, but it is wide and deep enough.

Dams and river parks have also been built on both sides of the river. Although the villagers are tired of such scenery, for city dwellers, being surrounded by mountains and rivers is a paradise.

Well, Gu Mi thinks that the hero sees the same thing, and she is also the ignorant city dweller.

There is also a big river 3 kilometers east of the village.

The entire Fenghuang Village is long and narrow, with more than 10 acres of land in the village.

It is backed by mountains and surrounded by water belts.

The climate is pleasant, suitable for planting in two seasons, and the crops are extremely abundant.

Fenghuang Village is not small, with a permanent population of nearly 5000 people and more than 1200 households.

The village is built near mountains and rivers with a square layout.

A road leading outside divides the village into two, with neat rows of houses on the left and right sides.

If you want to get out of the village, you still need to pass through a large field and forest. A cement road passes through it. It takes ten minutes for a car to reach the outside of the village if you drive on it.

Although there was great economic development in the past few decades, there were times when the village was empty. But Chinese people believe that fallen leaves must return to their roots. People who have made money outside slowly return to the village and build big houses.

Therefore, after the village was in depression for several years, it became better and better because of the feedback.

And because the country has advocated "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" in recent years, the village has its own ability to make blood, and its infrastructure is getting better and better.

The dirt roads in the past have long been replaced by cement roads.

The main road in the village can accommodate two large vehicles running side by side, and there are cement roads radiating to the left and right of the road.

The village has its own brigade yard, agricultural station, substation, water station, health station, animal husbandry station, post office, police station, communication station, and commercial street.

More and more young people are keen to return to the village to develop their careers. Even if their careers are outside, they try their best to build their homes in a grand manner.

Some young people even directly contracted land in the village and completely took root in the village.

Just like Gu Mi, although she is no longer young, although she is here to provide for old age.

Gu Mi does not plan to remarry in this life.

It doesn't mean that she is completely unfeeling, but after seeing through the marriage, love is too light, so light that it is not worth picking up again.

The fortune teller said that Gu Mi would have two marriages in her life. Gu Mi didn't care, she didn't expect or be disappointed.

Gu Mi, who is no longer married, wants to live with Mrs. Ren every day.

Mrs. Ren has always wanted to be strong all her life, with a bad temper and a bad mouth.

When I was young, I suffered too much in life. Although I can control my temper when I am old, I still have a bad temper.

The other three brothers and sisters of the Gu family all have their own families. Anyone who lets Old Mrs. Ren come in front of them will be wronging Old Mrs. Ren and the sister-in-law and son-in-law of the Gu family.

This yard was built to fascinate myself.

She wanted to give a home to the little Gu Mi who stayed in her heart forever.

Also for Mrs. Ren.

There is no place more suitable for retirement than the air in the village.

When Mrs. Ren was around, this house was the home of the Gu family brothers and sisters.

A hundred years after Mrs. Ren took over, this house is also the inheritance of the Gu family.

So what if my daughter doesn’t pass on the family?

Gu Mi simply likes this surname and hopes that her descendants will be proud of this surname.

Wouldn't it be nice to just keep passing it on like this?

Another, more important reason for building this yard is to prevent disasters and wars.

In recent years, the international situation has become increasingly tense. Who knows when a stable life will be taken away?

Even if you won't use it in your lifetime, you can still leave a residence that can be attacked and defended for your descendants to deal with unknown disasters that may come.

The Gu family did not object to building a yard in the village, but for this reason, the brothers and sisters laughed at Gu Mi for thinking too much.

It doesn't matter if you are a fan.

Not everyone is born pessimistic like her but struggles to live a passionate life.

Did she just want to passively resist as much as she could?

In the end, Gu Mi happily agreed amidst the disapproving looks: She wants to build a courtyard house in the village!

&

2028, the fifth year of the countdown to the end of the world. Construction of the Gu family's old house started and took two years to complete.

Next door to Gu Mi's homestead is the homestead of brother-in-law Wen Wu, which is the same size.

As a foreigner, Gu Mi was actually not eligible to buy a homestead in the village. It was Wenwu's father, Mr. Wen, who worked hard to get it.

The older generation has lived in the village for so many years and has a strong say.

Gu Mi asked a design company to make a set of design drawings for a courtyard with three entrances.

The courtyard, someone else’s, mine wants to be turned into a red brick wall

Red walls, gray tiles, red painted corridors, and heavy wooden doors.

In the village, where there are many second-floor or even third-, fourth- and fifth-floor courtyards, it is really not conspicuous.

But it's very much in line with Gu Mi's wishes.

Gu Jia Wenwu decisively copied his homework and wanted to build an identical yard.
