Chapter 295 Go to the countryside or stay in the city?



Wang Yingxue didn't go over immediately. Instead, she looked up at Huang Jianguo, seemingly waiting for his opinion.

Huang Jianguo assumed Huang Qinqin hadn't seen him shake his head, so he said directly, "There's still some pickled vegetables at home, no need to try them here."

She then looked down at Wang Yingxue and said, "These pickled vegetables are all made by my grandma. The ones at home and the ones here taste exactly the same."

"If you want to eat it, we can go home and eat it."

Wang Yingxue lowered her head and answered in a muffled voice, "Okay."

Huang Qinqin couldn't stand it anymore, so she dragged Wang Yingxue over to try the food and rolled her eyes at Huang Jianguo.

"Brother, you really have to thank our family's ancestral graves for being able to get married."

"Can the feeling be the same whether you eat at home or try it here? We're already here, so trying it won't take long."

Huang Qinqin handed a pair of chopsticks to Wang Yingxue: "Sister-in-law, you should try it. Grandma's pickled vegetables are delicious."

"My older brother has never been in a relationship, so he may not understand girls' feelings very well, but he is a very good person."

“If he does anything wrong or makes you unhappy, just tell Mom, and Mom will deal with him.”

Wang Yingxue shook her head and said with a smile, "He's very good."

Wang Yingxue was indeed a little unhappy, but she also knew that Huang Jianguo didn't think it was shameful for her to try the food.

Because when she first came over, Huang Jianguo didn't stop her.

She guessed that Huang Jianguo simply felt that since they had food at home, it was the same as eating it at home.

Wang Yingxue tried every kind of pickled vegetable and said sincerely, "They're really delicious! Did Grandma make all of these?"

"Pretty much. Even if Grandma didn't make it herself, it was still marinated according to her recipe."

Seeing that she liked it, Huang Qinqin said, "If you like it, you can bring more back next time you go to Grandma's house."

Then Huang Qinqin checked the time and realized it was getting late; she had other things to do.

So she asked Huang Jianmin to accompany them shopping: "Third cousin, could you please accompany my eldest brother and the others to shop? Chu Chu and I have other things to do."

Huang Jianmin said it was no problem and led the way ahead of Huang Jianguo and his wife.

......

Huang Qinqin didn't actually have anything else to do, but she had made an appointment with He Sanmei today to help her with the household registration transfer.

Her idea for He Sanmei was to have Xu Weiguo help her find some hooligans, preferably the kind that looked very vicious.

Then I spent two yuan to have him accompany He Sanmei home, and told him that I wanted to marry He Sanmei, and that the He family should be sensible and give them their household registration book.

The He family was originally unwilling because the scoundrel had not mentioned the bride price.

However, following Huang Qinqin's instructions, the scoundrel directly threatened the He family: "Don't you know what's going on with He Sanmei?"

"You should all be grateful that I'm willing to marry an unclean woman. I haven't even asked you for a dowry yet!"

Under duress from the hooligans, the He family had no choice but to reluctantly hand over their household registration book.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, He Sanmei went to the department store to find Huang Qinqin as soon as she got the household registration book.

At that time, Huang Qinqin was preparing for a tasting of pickled vegetables, so she asked He Sanmei to wait for her.

Now that the tasting arrangements were complete, she sneaked out to accompany He Sanmei to the Public Security Bureau to change her household registration.

On the way, Huang Qinqin wanted to confirm her thoughts, so she asked, "Do you want to move your household registration directly to the countryside, or do you want to keep your household registration in the city?"

He Sanmei asked in surprise, "Can I still keep my city household registration?"

If possible, He Sanmei certainly wouldn't want to move her household registration to the countryside.

In the countryside, you had to work in the fields to earn work points in order to receive grain, but people with urban household registration received a fixed amount of grain every month.

Moreover, factories often have residency requirements when hiring. Generally speaking, urban residency is much more advantageous than rural residency.

Huang Qinqin nodded: "Okay. But as you know, to get a city household registration, you either need to have a job or you need to own a house."

"I can't help you with finding a job. But if you want to keep your city residency, I can help you buy a house."

"This way you can keep your urban household registration; it's up to you to choose."

When He Sanmei heard that she needed to buy a house first, she asked with some concern, "But I only have the money that Xu Jingui and the others paid in compensation, and I still need to live on that money."

Although He Sanmei had no idea how much houses in the city cost, she figured they certainly wouldn't be cheap.

Huang Qinqin patiently explained, "Actually, it's not too bad. Even if you go to the countryside, you still need to buy a house."

"We've found this house for you now. It's in a large courtyard. Because the room is quite small, the asking price is 120."

"Besides, that tenement is quite far from here, so you don't have to worry about running into your family."

When He Sanmei heard that it only cost 120 yuan, she was already tempted.

She lives alone, and even if it's small, it's enough for her. If she could stay in the city, she could use her money wisely and perhaps live comfortably until she's old.

"If I want to stay in the city, when can I go and complete the house transfer?"

Although Huang Qinqin had guessed that He Sanmei would choose to stay in the city, she did not expect her to answer so quickly.

"Why don't you go take a look at the house first, and then decide?"

He Sanmei shook her head: "No need, I've already brought out everything I needed to take."

"Since you're leaving, let's make it simple. I want to get my household registration sorted out today. Please send this household registration book back to me."

As they were talking, they arrived at the police station.

Seeing that He Sanmei had made up her mind, Huang Qinqin didn't say anything more, after all, their relationship was just so-so.

Huang Qinqin asked He Sanmei to sit outside for a while while she went in to find Xu Weiguo.

Knock knock knock

"Dad, are you free now?"

Seeing Huang Qinqin arrive, Xu Weiguo put down the documents in his hand and replied, "I'm free. Is He Sanmei here?"

Huang Qinqin nodded: "Yes, and she also promised to buy a house and stay in the city."

"But Dad, is your comrade really going to sell the house? If he sells it, it will be very difficult to buy it back."

Xu Weiguo thought of his comrade-in-arms and sighed regretfully: "Alas, there's nothing we can do. His wife is sick, and all the money in the house has been spent."

“When he came to me, I offered to lend him money, but he refused.”
