My courtyard shelter

"Brother, is there a water shortage in the city?" Yang Lina suddenly asked.

"How can you not be nervous?" Yang Jianbang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Our family's daily water consumption is now rationed. At most, it can only guarantee daily drinking, and nothing more."

"What about you taking a shower and doing laundry?"

"The city built a public bathhouse and laundry last year, and bathing and laundry tickets are issued on time every month. You can use them just by taking the tickets."

"Is it seawater?"

With the example of Yanjing, Yang Lina couldn't help but guess.

"Yes, they are all brought back from the coastal areas by train, but the state is building a water transmission pipeline throughout the state, which will be connected to Zhezhou's water transmission network. It is said that a seawater desalination plant will be built in the future."

The "water transmission network" Yang Jianbang talks about is actually a nationwide super-large project called the "East-to-West Water Diversion" project. It is a seawater transportation pipeline throughout the country.

By then, there will be three large-scale water pipeline networks in Daxia: the northern line, the middle line, and the southern line.

The three lines run from east to west, reaching as far as Xinzhou.

The final annual water diversion scale is expected to be 44.8 billion cubic meters, which is approximately 7% of the Honglong River’s multi-year average runoff.

The entire project lasts for 22 years, with a total investment of approximately 5 trillion yuan, making it the largest financial project since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Among them, the middle line is the largest and most eye-catching. It is basically built along the main road of Honglong River. The current project progress is also the fastest.

Yang Lina frowned. The south was already mountainous, and the city of Porcelain was located between valleys. It would take a long time before the water pipeline was built, but it would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

She was very not optimistic about the development prospects of small and medium-sized cities like Cidu, so she couldn't help but test it out:

"Brother, have you ever thought about moving out?"

"Of course I have thought about it, Chai Han has had trouble with me several times over this matter.

But moving is not that easy. Nowadays, housing prices in coastal areas are too high, and there are also household registration restrictions. How can our family have such conditions?

Now I just hope that Yang Ge and the others can live up to their expectations and get into a good university in the future. When the time comes, they can take me and his mother out, and I will be grateful. "

"If you are short of money, you can tell me and I can help you think of a way..."

Yang Jianbang quickly interrupted: "Sister, don't worry about me. I've already been very sorry to you because of the bride price. I really don't have the face to ask you about money anymore."

"It wasn't your idea, why are you feeling guilty?"

"But I am the ultimate beneficiary. My brother-in-law will probably be more angry when he sees me than his parents." Yang Jianbang grimaced.

"Actually, your brother-in-law is not bad-hearted, but he is a little petty!"

"I really don't blame my brother-in-law. If this matter were to happen to me, I would probably be even more angry than my brother-in-law, and I would never let it go no matter what.

Besides, life at home is pretty good right now. There is no shortage of food, drink, and a place to live. I am very satisfied with my current life and don’t want to struggle.

Sister, if you really want to help me, take care of Yang Ge and his two siblings for me in the future, I would like to thank you here. "

Yang Jianbang really didn't want to ruin his sister's family, especially the relationship between the couple. If he offended his brother-in-law, with the current power of his family, they would never get a dime of benefit.

"I am their aunt, you don't need to tell me that."

"Haha, then I'll be relieved."

…

In less than an hour, the destination was finally reached.

It was Yang Lina's first time here, so she couldn't help but look around a little, "Brother, this is your community, there are quite a lot of people!"

"The villages and towns below are all deserted, and everyone has come to the city. How can there be less people? Many families have more than a dozen people living there, so our family is fine."

"Don't you have public rental housing here?" Yang Lina asked doubtfully.

"There is some, but it's simply not enough. People in the south have a harder time, so they all come to the north. Now the city's population is three to four times what it used to be."

Here is a brief introduction. Officials only restrict the interstate movement of people. Population migration within the state is not restricted. Otherwise, many people will not be able to survive at all.

And remember, the above are just restrictions, not a complete ban. The further west you go, the higher the proportion of people moving out.

When the construction of coastal areas is completed, more people will be moved there, but this will require a process, which may require the sacrifice of one or even two generations.

"so much?"

"That's not true, but having more people is also good for bringing vitality. Some cities in mountainous areas have fewer and fewer residents due to inconvenient transportation of materials. In the end, good cities have turned into ghost towns."

The two of them were walking and chatting. Yang Jianbang quickly pointed to a five-story unit building and introduced:

"Sister, we're home. The house is on the third floor."

After not seeing her parents for nearly ten years, Yang Lina suddenly became hesitant, feeling more timid about being close to home.

Yang Jianbang naturally saw his sister's nervousness and couldn't help but suggest:

"Sister, do you want to take a break?"

"Sister, you're not tired, let's go straight up!"

Yang Lina quickly adjusted, with a hint of urgency in her voice.

"Give me the suitcase!"

The suitcase was heavy. Yang Lina knew she didn't have the strength to do it, so she handed it to the other party obediently, but she also took the big backpack.

The third floor was soon reached.

"Dong Dong Dong... Dad, Mom, we are back."

The door was not locked at all and opened at once. Yang's father and mother saw their daughter who they hadn't seen for many years, and they couldn't help but burst into tears. The three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.

After more than ten minutes, everyone's emotions calmed down slightly.

"Nana, it's Mom who is sorry for you!"

"Mom, it's all over, why are you still talking about this!" Yang Lina took out a handkerchief to wipe her mother's tears.

"Ahem... It has nothing to do with your mother, it's all my fault, I was blinded by lard."

After saying this, Xu's father coughed several times.

Yang Lina quickly patted her father on the back: "Dad, you haven't recovered from your cold yet, so don't talk. It's all over, and I don't blame you anymore."

"I'm glad you don't blame me. I can rest assured even if I die, cough..."

"Dad, don't talk about life or death. You still have to watch Yang Ge and his family get married!" Yang Lina immediately comforted him.

"I know my health well. It's just the past two or three years. I can see you come back..."

"Cough..."

"Okay, Dad, stop talking."

Chai Han poured a glass of water for her father-in-law.

At the same time, she was also looking at her elder sister-in-law. As expected, she was from a wealthy family. With her long hair, new clothes, and various jewelry, she looked like a rich lady.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Yang Lina took the water cup and thanked her.

"Thank you for what? We are all family!"

Father Yang drank a sip of water and finally stopped coughing.

Yang Lina breathed a sigh of relief, and then called her niece and nephew over, and stuffed a big red envelope into each of them.
