Four bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms.
Chang Meiying went inside and ran around wildly, running east and west, sometimes saying she wanted this room, sometimes saying she wanted that room.
Zhou Hongyu didn't say anything. According to her opinion, it would be better to stay in the five-story villa in Zhoujia Village. She would come and stay in this house for a few days whenever she had time.
Four bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms!
Chen Zhaodi's eyes were red ever since she entered the room.
Even though it's on the first floor, it's still a building after all. It has heating, a toilet, running water... a whole host of advantages that are hard to list.
Chang Huaying walked over and opened a door next to the living room, calling out, "Meiying, don't run around like that, there's a yard outside!"
"Where's the yard! Sister Huaying, I'm here!"
Chang Meiying ran past her cheering, and Chen Zhaodi was so jealous that she could no longer maintain her expression.
This is exactly the love room of her dreams!
The two elderly people followed Hua Ying and the others out to look at the yard, and Chen Zhaodi sidled up to Zhou Hongyu.
She asked, "How much did this house cost...?"
"A little over a thousand!"
"one thousand!"
Chen Zhaodi exclaimed, her face filled with shock. It was unclear whether she thought a thousand was too expensive or too cheap.
Chang Meiying called out from the yard outside, "Mom, come quick! There are fruit trees here!"
Zhou Hongyu left Chen Zhaodi, who was still standing there in a daze, and walked out.
Chang Meiying pointed to it and said, "Look, Grandma said this sapling will grow up and bear apricots, so Mom won't have to buy fruit anymore!"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Chang Huaying laughed and said, "Meiying, when you grow up, this sapling may not even bear fruit, so we'll still have to buy fruit!"
Chang Meiying angrily slapped the sapling's leaves with her little hand: "You're so disappointing!"
Seeing this, everyone burst into laughter again.
Chang Huaying pulled her close to her chest to comfort her, placing a chestnut in her small hand: "Don't think about eating fruit yet, come on, eat this soft and sweet chestnut!"
Grandma Chang smiled broadly: "When I heard that Xingwang's wife's workplace had allocated apartments, I initially thought it was a hallucination. After all, the eldest son and his wife had worked in the factory for most of their lives, so logically they should have been allocated apartments first. But it turned out the other way around, and Xingwang's wife got an apartment first!"
Granny Zhou smiled and said, "It's just luck!"
At this moment, Chen Zhaodi chimed in, "I also think the leaders above have gone too far. Logically speaking, the machinery factory has a large workforce and a housing shortage, so it shouldn't be allowed to let a small unit like the cultural center get ahead of them!"
Zhou Hongyu said irritably, "You still complain about how remote this place is after getting off the bus. If this area were given to the machinery factory, there would probably be a huge uproar!"
Zhou Hongyu had worked in the machinery factory for a period of time, and she knew very well what those people were thinking. In their view, once you were hired, the machinery factory should manage you from birth to death, and if you were dissatisfied, you should make a fuss until you were satisfied.
This place is in two different directions from the machinery factory. In Chen Zhaodi's words, it's very remote, and you can hardly see any cats or dogs all day long. If it were assigned to the machinery factory, there would be a lot of trouble.
I'm afraid the government gates are packed with people filing complaints every day.
Zhou Hongyu had heard Director Ning mention it once; that's how their unit's welfare housing came about. The original unit that was supposed to be assigned the housing was dissatisfied and refused to agree, so the higher-ups had no choice but to assign some smaller, less influential units to take over.
So from the moment the news broke to the moment the rooms were allocated, everything happened incredibly quickly.
Chen Zhaodi hoped, "If I could have four bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and a courtyard, I would be willing!"
"You'll have to pay more!" Zhou Hongyu glared at her. Dream on!
Chen Zhaodi waved her hand guiltily: "Forget about the money. It would be better if the company didn't charge us a single penny and gave us the money instead!"
Zhou Hongyu snorted, "Wait a few years until it's your turn to get welfare housing. Then you'll have to pay money. Let's see if you want the house then!"
As they were talking, Chang Huaying led Chang Meiying around and came back, handing out a bag of chestnuts to the neighbors.
The two sisters are very popular. Everyone is happy to see them and says they would be delighted to be neighbors with them in the future.
When Chang Huaying returned, she told Chen Zhaodi, "Mom, although this place is remote, it looks alright. I just took Meiying to visit the neighbors in this building. Some of them are teachers, some are doctors, and some work in government agencies. Why don't we find someone to buy one too!"
Chen Zhaodi's expression changed: "What nonsense are you talking about? I've taken a leave of absence to work for a private boss, where would I get any money!"
Actually, he's very rich, extremely rich!
In just the past few months, the amount of money she gave to her parents' family has increased significantly, so much so that the Chen family has become very well-behaved after being satisfied, and no longer sees any members of the Chen family coming to their door to ask for money.
Chen Zhaodi was angry because she didn't like flaunting her wealth.
Although she didn't know that everyone present was richer than her.
Granny Chang smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, if you don't have the money, then don't buy it. Huaying, if you really like this place, come over and visit sometime!"
She didn't say how many days she would stay.
Zhou Hongyu nodded: "A four-bedroom, two-living-room house is quite spacious. Chang Pengfei and Chang Rihui may not live together even after they get married. Let them stay in the alley for now. Huaying, if you want to come over, I'll arrange a room for you on Friday!"
Chang Huaying smiled and leaned down to speak softly. Zhou Hongyu was slightly surprised after listening.
He nodded to her.
"Do it your way!"
Chang Huaying wanted to use the money to buy a two-bedroom apartment here, so that when her older brother Chang Yaozu got married, if he met someone like Chang Pengfei who wanted a wedding house, she could leave the house in the alley to the young couple, and she could move to the two-bedroom apartment here with her parents.
Chang Huaying was greatly encouraged by this, and she smiled and said, "Second Aunt, please keep an eye out for me!"
"good!"
Chen Zhaodi's expression wasn't good. If you let her buy it, she won't be happy; if you don't let her buy it, she won't be happy either!
In Zhou Hongyu's words, she just deserved a beating—
Chen Zhaodi was already a little upset about this, and when she saw her daughter whispering to Zhou Hongyu again, she got even angrier!
Chen Zhaodi was desperately gathering her strength, preparing to strike a pose befitting her status as a top-tier beauty.
One look from Zhou Hongyu and she was done for—
Cai Baozhu arrived near the residential area in Principal Cai's official car.
She found a place to call Sun Yanxia, knowing exactly when Sun Yanxia was at work.
Sun Yanxia's face turned pale instantly upon hearing Cai Baozhu's voice.
She's been avoiding Cai Baozhu lately, and goes out of her way whenever she sees her!
Sun Yanxia pressed the phone and whispered, "...Teacher Cai, I haven't been avoiding you lately, I've just been too busy!"
Busy? Busy chatting with colleagues and knitting towels, busy going home after get off work to take care of my husband and son!
A fierce look appeared on Cai Baozhu's face. Sun Yanxia had completely ignored her promise!
“Come here!” Her tone left no room for refusal.
"Teacher Cai, I have something to do..." Sun Yanxia reluctantly refused.
She was afraid too. She really couldn't help Cai Baozhu. Zhou Hongyu treated her like an enemy and was very wary of her!
"I'm over here at the house. Are you sure you don't want to come and take a look at your house?"
"I'm coming right away!"
