Xiao Jianping knew that Master Song was telling the truth, but he was not angry. He smiled and talked about his relationship with Su Weidong, trying to impress him.

But no matter how much he talked, Master Song did not agree.

Seeing that Xiao Jianping was still determined to continue, Li Xu patted his shoulder and interrupted him, "Old Xiao, when you tell your family about the housing allocation tonight, don't forget to remind them not to disclose it to anyone else until the list is finalized. Especially since the institute plans to have employees contribute to the construction of additional housing, this must not be disclosed to anyone else. Otherwise, if word gets out to other units, there's no guarantee that someone will become jealous and try to obstruct it."

When employees from other units see the supply and marketing cooperatives building staff housing, they will definitely be envious and jealous, and may even go to their own leaders to express their demands, saying that their homes are not big enough.

But the problem is that the overall environment has been bad in recent years. Few companies are making money, and most are struggling to survive.

What do you want those leaders to use to build it?

However, the supply and marketing cooperative's actions are not in line with the rules.

In order to quell the grievances of their employees, these leaders may unite and interfere.

This way, the variables in the middle become larger.

Not only that, the employees within the supply and marketing cooperatives are also a hidden danger.

Allocating housing has always been a big problem.

Nothing has ever gone smoothly in this matter, and it is normal for people who did not get a house to cause trouble.

Even if this person is not eligible for a housing allocation at all.

Some people are bad and can't stand others being better than them. They feel they can't get what they want, so they simply don't want to get anything.

So before the director gets everything done, they are likely to cause trouble and try to ruin the whole thing.

This reminded the others. They all knew what Xiao's mother was like, so they kept reminding Xiao Jianping to take good care of his mother.

Then Master Qi looked at Liu Gang and said, "Old Liu, go back and persuade your eldest brother to approve it as soon as possible."

"Yes, Lao Liu, you also have a share in this house, you must say what you need to say." The other masters echoed.

A few days ago, the steel plant, cement plant, and brick factory played a trick and ended up getting their respective factory directors fired. This incident made the heads of each unit very scared, and everyone was worried that they would be the next.

Therefore, this matter must be reported in advance, and the director will only dare to do it after obtaining approval from the county.

Liu Gang nodded and said, "I'll talk to him tonight, but I can't guarantee that he will approve it."

"Just try your best. If they really don't approve, we'll just accept it. Okay, it's time to get off work, let's go."

Everyone responded and left.

Li Xu pulled Xiao Jianping to the parking shed, and seeing that there was no one around, he whispered, "Old Xiao, don't mention borrowing money anymore."

Xiao Jianping was stunned, "Why?"

"If you bring it up again, everyone will have to figure out why you insist on doing this. How are you going to explain it? Don't use your relationship with Lao Su as an excuse. No one will believe it."

Xiao Jianping pondered for a moment and sighed, "I'll listen to you. I won't talk about it anymore. Old Li, do you think I made a mistake when I told my mother about Old Brother Su?"

"Now that you've done it, don't regret it. Besides, no one expected his parents to choose him over his brother and let him take care of them in their old age."

When Xiao Jianping mentioned this, he got angry. "I used to think his younger brother was not a good person, and I was right. You said that the second brother was separated from the family, and the eldest brother had no chance of supporting him. He was the only one left. As long as he treated his parents well, the family property might be his in the future.

This little bastard thinks his parents have to hang themselves on his rope and that he is the surest way to support them in their old age. He is unwilling to do anything at all. No wonder the old couple insisted on looking for Lao Su after being rejected so many times.

"The old couple of the Su family brought this upon themselves. If they had been a little more ruthless to their eldest son, or if they hadn't pushed Old Su so hard, they wouldn't have ended up like this."

Having said that, Li Xu saw Du Hong coming over and immediately said goodbye to Xiao Jianping.

Xiao Jianping greeted Du Hong, chatted with her for a few words, and then left.

Li Xu drove home with Du Hong.

During dinner, Li Xu talked about the issue of separate rooms.

After listening to it, everyone was surprised.

Li Jiakang kept saying, "A few days ago, your mother and I were still worried about what to do when the children grew up. I didn't expect that the problem would be solved today. This must be because the Kitchen God said good things about our family in heaven. We will welcome the Kitchen God in a few days and invite all the children with us to show the sincerity of our Li family to the Kitchen God."

Other adults: ...

After a moment of silence, Li Ping opened his mouth with difficulty, "Dad, welcoming the Kitchen God has to be at twelve o'clock at night. It's easy for the older children, but what about the younger ones? How about we don't bother them, and just do it like before, and let the adults do the welcoming."

"Right, right, forget about the child," Li Mei quickly agreed. "Besides, the Kitchen God always speaks good things to the gods and brings good fortune back to the palace. This doesn't necessarily have anything to do with him since he hasn't returned to the palace yet."

Li Xu was a little amused and said, "Dad, I just said that the institute has this plan. I don't know whether the county will approve it or not."

Li Jiakang didn't even bother eating, his face set in a stern voice. "Wait until the supply and marketing cooperative compiles the list, and then get approval from the county. It'll take at least a week. By that time, the Kitchen God will have returned. How can you say it has nothing to do with him? Second brother, I'm telling you, this will definitely work. I'll bet you a dollar. As for the kids, let them get a little extra sleep on New Year's Eve so they can make it through the night."

In recent years, the Li family has been living smoothly, and it is no exaggeration to say that everything they wish for comes true.

This made Li Jiakang more convinced that his ancestors and the Kitchen God were protecting his family.

In fact, it’s not just him. Old Master Li and Li Jiafu also think so, and they are extremely pious every time they offer sacrifices.
