My courtyard shelter

The average temperature in Kunming is almost ten degrees higher than that in Yanjing. After noon, the outdoor temperature is already close to 50 degrees.

You know, it's only May.

No wonder everyone is rushing to Hancheng in droves. In a place as big as Southeast Asia, all immigrants combined are less than half of Hancheng.

The conditions are indeed quite difficult.

In the afternoon, Ma Xiong suggested going out for a walk.

Ma Lingling refused without thinking. She didn't want to be tanned. Besides, Kunming was very depressed and there was nothing to see.

At night, Ma Xiong secretly came to Mr. Ma's house. As the population continued to flow out, Kunming's housing reform policy had ceased to exist in name only.

Mr. Ma has his own separate house.

I stay at my eldest son’s house during the day and come back to sleep at night.

This house of more than 90 square meters did not cost the family a penny, but was bought with fifty pounds of corn flour. At that time, I felt that I had picked up a big mistake. Looking back now, I can't give it away.

There are large tracts of abandoned houses throughout the city.

In the past, there was no choice. Housing prices along the coast were so high that everyone could only live in their hometowns. In state capitals like Kunming, housing prices could barely be maintained.

Later, with the signing of the Asia-Pacific Treaty, the whole situation suddenly opened up. .

No matter how good it is abroad, it is still a coastal city. Whether it is living comfort or development potential, it lags behind most inland cities.

Especially in the past two years, the authorities have deliberately accelerated the emigration rate from inland areas. According to statistics, almost 10 million people immigrated abroad last year alone.

Among them, Kangaroo Country, East Peninsula and New Zealand are the three most popular regions, accounting for almost two-thirds of immigrants.

In the bedroom, Ma Xiong pushed Mr. Ma.

"Dad, are you asleep?"

Mr. Ma rubbed his eyes: "It's you, boss. It's so late. Why are you here?"

Kunming shuts down power at 8pm, and residents generally go to bed early.

"I want to discuss something with you."

Ma Xiong helped Mr. Ma sit up.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Dad, that's it! Jiaming has been working in Kangaroo Country for several years. He wants to start a business, but he still lacks some starting capital."

Mr. Ma shook his head: "What's the use of telling me this? I have no money. Didn't all the pension money your brother gave me go to you?"

"Ahem, Dad, I want you to help tell Lingling that their family is not short of money. Can you temporarily lend several hundred thousand to Jiaming? We will pay it back as soon as we make money."

"How much is your brother's salary per month? How can he not be short of money?"

"Lingling's boyfriend runs a company and earned more than 10 million last year alone."

Ma Xiong hinted.

Mr. Ma waved his hand quickly: "No, they are not married yet, how can they just lend hundreds of thousands to outsiders?"

"We'll get married in two months."

"Then wait until two months later. Don't mess around. If you mess up Lingling's marriage, the third daughter-in-law will not forgive you."

"Dad, time waits for no one. In two months, the business opportunity may be gone."

Mr. Ma is not stupid. The reason why he has been able to survive these years is all because of the third family, especially the third wife, who subsidized a lot of life-saving food for their family.

If this matter is mixed in, it is just looking for trouble. The sheep did not eat it, but instead caused a lot of trouble.

"I can't control this matter. When you see the third child, you can talk to him yourself!"

"Dad, Jiaming is your grandson."

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Dad now wants to live a good old age. If you are really filial, don't bother me anymore."

Mr. Ma knows it well!

razor clam

"Dad, I'm begging you. Jiaming has had a hard time these years. He finally came across a good opportunity this time. Can you help me?"

Ma Xiong begged.

Mr. Ma was unmoved and lay down directly, facing in and with his back facing out. It was already obvious that there was no need to discuss this matter.

…

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Ma Lingling and Yang Shuo left Kunming. They originally planned to go to their two aunts' houses today, but now they don't have to.

It only takes two hours to fly to Yangcheng from Kunming.

At 10:30 in the morning, the plane finally arrived in Yangcheng.

After coming out of the airport, the two quickly took a taxi. Before setting off, Yang Shuo did not notify his father in advance. If not for his girlfriend's strong request, he would not have wanted to come over at all.

the reason is simple.

When my parents divorced, the fault was all on my father's side. My mother has not remarried because of him, but my father remarried the same year they divorced.

It is precisely because of this that the relationship between father and son has always been tense.

Seeing that her boyfriend was in a bad mood, Ma Lingling randomly found a topic to chat about: "Yangcheng is developing quite well. It doesn't look any worse than the capital."

"Beautiful girl, good taste!"

The taxi driver interjected.

"Yangcheng has always been a window for foreign trade. International trade has recovered very quickly in the past two years, and Yangcheng has taken advantage of it." Yang Shuo explained casually.

"Young man, you are only right about one thing. On the other hand, our place is the bridgehead to Southeast Asia. It is difficult to develop quickly even if we don't want to."

The taxi driver then added.

Yang Shuo nodded: "This is true. Relatively speaking, there are only three countries in the north, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Nisang. The scale of trade is too small, and Nisang has a net population outflow abroad."

"The south is just like that. Apart from various mineral resources, the population size is really not as good as the three northern countries."

"It can't be compared now, but it may not be the case in the future. Kangaroo Country is so large that it can accommodate at least 100 million people."

Yang Shuo is very optimistic about the future of Kangaroo Country.

The driver sighed: "It is indeed a good place, but it is too hot. Let alone 100 million people, half of them is the limit."

"It's just a little hot, no big deal, just build more air conditioners."

Ma Lingling seemed confident.

"Pretty girl, it's easier said than done!"

The driver sighed:

"You'll know when you go to Kangaroo Country. That place is completely poor. Apart from the mining industry, there is nothing else. It won't develop in decades."

Yang Shuo asked curiously: "Brother, from what you said, have you been to Kangaroo Country?"

"I went there once two years ago." The driver nodded. "There was a great shortage of workers there at that time. The salary was 800 yuan a day, and food and accommodation were included. Many people couldn't resist the temptation and flocked there."

"Then why did you come back?"

Yang Shuo asked.

"Well, later more people went there, and the treatment dropped sharply. The salary was only 40% to 50% higher than that in Guangzhou, and food was not included. I ran back when I saw that it was not worth it."

Ma Lingling frowned: "40% to 50% higher is also high, why don't you continue to work?"

"The conditions are too hard. Look at my ghost appearance, it was all caused by that time."

The driver complained bitterly.

Ma Lingling carefully looked at the driver and found that he was indeed dark. If he didn't have a Daxia face, he would almost be a black man.
