The room allocated to Duan Donglin by his unit was just one room, very small, without a separate kitchen or bathroom.
It was inconvenient for a family of four to live together, so he settled his wife and children in a hotel near the unit dormitory.
After putting their luggage away, the family left the hotel.
Gao Hongmian said, "Donglin, how about we buy a house in Jiangzhong City? The money we've saved should be enough to buy a spacious one. If not, we can borrow some from Xiaobei."
"Buy a house here? Didn't you always hope that I would return to Beijing to work in the future?"
"I hope you can go back to Beijing to work. After all, the children are studying there."
"But didn't you say there's room for development in the steel mill? If that's the case, then just work hard here. The children and I will come visit you during our holidays."
"Look at Xi'en and Qing'en. They love to go out for a ride. I think it's a good idea to take them out for a walk every year."
"Okay, I'll listen to you on this matter. However, few people in our unit buy houses outside. They are all waiting for the company to allocate housing. I heard that the staff housing will be better in the future."
"It'll take forever for the company to allocate housing, so we should just buy one ourselves out there first!"
"Look, Mingzhu is so much younger than us, yet she can still afford to buy a house here. Are we, a couple, not as good as an unmarried girl? I'm going to look at houses starting tomorrow!"
"Okay, buy it if you want."
"Well, it's settled then! Xien, Qingen, we're going to buy a house for our family from Dad in the future. Are you happy?"
"happy!"
Listening to the cheers of the two children, Gao Hongmian suddenly felt full of ambition.
After spending the summer here and returning to Beijing, she wanted to have a good discussion with Shen Xiaobei about expanding her business.
She also wanted to make more money so that she could buy a house wherever she wanted, just like Shen Xiaobei, and achieve true freedom in buying a house.
The family chatted happily and unknowingly arrived at Duan Donglin's residence.
The staff dormitory of Duan Donglin’s unit is quite large, with many buildings.
However, the exterior walls of the building are quite mottled, showing many signs of aging.
As I walked into the building, I suddenly felt that the view became a little dim. Even though it was daytime, the lighting was really not very good.
Fortunately, Duan Donglin kept his small room clean and tidy, so it should be quite comfortable for him to live alone there.
"Look, Hongmian, the fourth door from here is Haisheng's room."
"Oh, you guys are so close! Let me go take a look!"
After looking at Duan Donglin's room, Gao Hongmian followed the direction he pointed and walked to the window of the fourth room on the left.
I peeked inside curiously.
She found that Guan Haisheng's room was also very tidy and there was no clutter.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a simple three-story wooden bookshelf in his room, which is filled with thick books.
No wonder Duan Donglin said that although Guan Haisheng was much younger than him, he still often asked him for advice on work issues.
It seems that he is really an educated young man, not bad!
"Haisheng, it's time to get off work!"
Around six o'clock in the afternoon, Guan Haisheng returned home from get off work. Duan Donglin and Gao Hongmian were standing in the corridor chatting. As soon as they saw him, they called him.
Gao Hongmian immediately looked at the young man in front of her.
He is of medium height, a little thin, and wears glasses, looking gentle and elegant.
However, the hair on his forehead was slightly longer, and it fluttered when he walked, making him look gentle but not dull.
Also, the eyes behind his glasses are actually quite big and look bright.
Gao Hongmian guessed that the young man would look more handsome if he took off his glasses.
"Hey, Brother Donglin! This is my sister-in-law, right?"
When Guan Haisheng saw Duan Donglin and Gao Hongmian, he walked over and greeted them with a smile.
His voice is clear, magnetic and very recognizable.
Moreover, when he smiled at people, there was a hint of youthful innocence on his face.
A 26-year-old boy has such a pure and natural temperament. It seems that he must have had no experience in love before and is a simple person.
It's so rare, very good!
Gao Hongmian, like a mother-in-law selecting her son-in-law, had already observed and evaluated Guan Haisheng in her mind.
"Yes, this is your sister-in-law, Gao Hongmian. Hongmian, this is Haisheng."
"Hello, Haisheng, I finally see you in person!"
"Hello, sister-in-law! You arrived this afternoon, right?"
"Yes, it's just this afternoon. Donglin and I are waiting here for you to get off work so we can go out for dinner together! Haisheng, why don't you call Mingzhu over to eat with us? Sister-in-law hasn't seen her in a long time!"
"Okay, sister-in-law, then I'll call Mingzhu."
Duan Donglin mentioned the name of a nearby restaurant. After hearing this, Guan Haisheng went to the dormitory management office and made a phone call, asking Shen Mingzhu to go directly to the hotel to meet them.
Gao Hongmian then went into the room and woke up the two children who were napping in bed, and they all went to the hotel together.
"Sister-in-law, please order first. Mingzhu's restaurant is a bit far from here, so it probably won't arrive that quickly."
"No hurry, wait for her, wait for her to come and order together!"
"It's okay, sister-in-law, you order first. Xien and Qingen should be hungry too. Mingzhu will be very happy to come over and eat ready-made food!"
"Yeah, Hongmian, why don't we order first."
"Oh well!"
After waiting in the restaurant for a while, seeing that Shen Mingzhu had not arrived yet, everyone had to order the dishes first.
"Haisheng!"
