Siheyuan starts a 100,000-acre farm

Not long after, the two arrived at Qinjia Village. At this time, the sky gradually darkened, but Duan Peng still parked the car not far from the entrance of the village.

After all, they were not here to do business openly, so they naturally could not enter the village too ostentatiously.

You know, nowadays, cars are not common in rural areas, let alone in cities. Especially the car that Duan Peng drove, which belonged to Li Aiguo, was a top luxury car.

As long as the villagers of Qinjia Village see it, they will immediately know that the car belongs to Li Aiguo.

Therefore, Duan Peng did not dare to take the risk of driving the car into the village, for fear that he would not only fail to teach that woman Wang Liping a lesson, but also get himself into trouble, which would be a loss.

Xu Damao fully agreed with Duan Peng's decision to park the car at the entrance of the village. After all, he was the one who led the matter and proposed it.

If anything goes wrong, he will be the first person responsible. Duan Peng is just a backup measure to prevent unexpected situations.

To put it bluntly, they are worried that after being discovered, Xu Damao alone will not be able to handle it. At that time, Duan Peng will need to take action. After all, he is a real master among masters.

The two waited until dark, which was around ten o'clock in the evening. At this time, people generally went to bed early. After all, there were no televisions, mobile phones or other entertainment devices in that era.

After dark, there is really nothing to do except going to bed. Of course, younger couples have other plans. They usually have a lot to do, after all, one is addicted to food and the other is strong and healthy.

The two sneaked into Qin Jianjun's house. Although Qin Jianjun and Qin Jianhua had not separated from Qin's father, they still built two spacious and bright tiled houses next to the old house.

At that time, the cost of building a house in the countryside was not actually high. Blue bricks and tiles could be made in the village at a very low price, and it didn’t cost much at all.

If you don't want to spend money to buy it, you can also choose to make it yourself. This is not a difficult task. After all, the process is very simple.

As for the beams and pillars, it was easier to deal with. There were trees everywhere on the mountain. There was no such thing as protecting forests at that time. People were even encouraged to cut down forests to increase arable land. This was completely opposite to the policies of later generations.

Let's talk about the labor cost. There is no need to pay people to help with the work here! Because everyone lives in the same village, and most of the villagers are descendants of the same ancestors.

They are all related to each other to some extent. Whenever one family wants to build a house, others will come forward to help.

They do not ask for wages, just a full meal. If the family is better off, they may prepare a more sumptuous and delicious meal.

As for families with less financial resources, everyone can also understand and they are satisfied as long as they can fill their stomachs.

Not only that, even people who do not have the same surname will come to help enthusiastically. After all, everyone may have matters such as children getting married, building houses, etc.

This may be the reason why ancient China attached great importance to neighborly relations, or it can be said that when one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid. This way of mutual help greatly reduced the cost of building houses.

Even the homestead does not cost a penny. As long as the land belongs to you, you can build a house as big as you want, and no one will interfere.

There was no issue of land title confirmation or whether it was construction land, so the cost of building houses in rural areas was relatively small in the early years, but this is also relative.

After all, the current income level is relatively low, and the bulk of household expenditures are still concentrated on food and clothing, which is in sharp contrast to later generations.

In the future society, the main expenses of a family will be spent on buying houses, cars, children's education, and interpersonal relationships.

By comparing the two, we can find that in later generations, the proportion of food in total household expenditure has become insignificant.

Even in the 21st century, many people complain that their quality of life is not as good as when they were children, and they are not as happy as before. The ultimate reason is that people's expectations and demands are increasing.

They long to have spacious houses, luxury cars, and give their children better educational resources. Under such great pressure, life is naturally difficult to be relaxed and happy.

However, people in this era lived in poverty, and their biggest wish was just to fill their stomachs. Since everyone's living standards were similar, there was no comparison mentality, nor too much pursuit.

The only requirement is to have enough food to eat. This simple way of thinking and fewer desires make the happiness index higher. Of course, these situations mainly appeared in the 1980s and 1990s.

In the 1960s and 1970s, people generally faced problems of hunger and food shortages and often could not fill their stomachs. Living conditions at that time were very difficult, so there was naturally no question of a happiness index.

而认为现在的生活不如小时候幸福的，大多集中于 80 后和 90 后这两代人。相比之下，50 后、60 后和 70 后则经历了更多的艰辛与磨难。

During that period, there was a shortage of material resources and life was difficult, but they endured it with tenacity, so this generation never says that life is not as happy as they were in their childhood.

When they were young, their generation didn't just starve to death. Most of them even ate grass roots and tree bark.

People with good living conditions ate dried sweet potatoes, which were sliced ​​sweet potatoes, dried in the sun, and then stored. They could take them out and eat when they were hungry. These things were good things in that era.

Cornmeal steamed buns and the like were considered luxuries, only city dwellers could afford them. More people ate things like sweet potato vines, leaves, and tree bark.

It is worth mentioning that in 2000, at the turn of the millennium, China officially joined the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Since then, China's economic development has entered the fast lane, presenting a new look every year.

Because of this, the post-00s grew up in a relatively superior environment, and have never suffered any grievances since they can remember.

Although those born in the 80s and 90s may not have eaten well when they were young, at least they did not starve.

In addition, they face less pressure and their families do not put too much burden on them.

As for academics, if you can learn well, you can continue your studies. If you can't learn well, you can choose to drop out of school and work. The school will not assign too much homework, or even no homework at all. Of course, there are some more naughty students who will not do their homework, and even if they do, they will not do it.
