Mr. Xie is over 80 years old. He has been a little depressed recently because of a sudden heart attack last year.
Hearing his wife calling him, he slowly put down the bowl in his hand, looked at Xie Xiangming and said in a deep voice: "The selection list for the reconstruction department will be released in two days. I have already informed several old leaders and old comrades, and they promised to try their best to arrange Wen Qi in."
After hearing what Mr. Xie said, Xie Xiangming and Gao Lanzhi fell silent.
They all knew how difficult it was to get into the reconstruction department. Being selected meant getting in touch with the core of power, and their future was limitless. The two younger generations of the Xie family were both mediocre in ability, and for Mr. Xie to get a spot, he must have put in all his connections and favors for most of his life.
Mr. Xie had to work hard to get only one spot, but the Xie family had more than one child.
Mrs. Xie has always been partial to her youngest son, Xie Xiangjun, and always gives priority to Xie Xiangjun when she has anything. Xie Xiangming and Gao Lanzhi have seen all of this. Because of this, they have always been worried that Mr. Xie would give the quota for the reconstruction department to Xie Xiangjun.
This time the spot went to Xie Wenqi, which was a pleasant surprise for Xie Xiangming and his wife.
I only heard Mr. Xie cough twice, and then said, "Cough, cough... As the saying goes, cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country, and pacify the world. Let Wenqi get married as soon as possible! With a woman at home to take care of him, he can work without worries."
What he meant was that he also approved of Lu Sixue as his daughter-in-law, and he hoped that Lu Sixue could marry into the Xie family as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, Xie Xiangming and Gao Lanzhi looked at each other and saw the same answer in each other's eyes.
——What is there to hesitate about?
Isn’t it just marrying Lu Sixue?
Just marry her!
Xie Wenqi's future is important right now. As long as he can enter the reconstruction department, his career will be stable.
Besides, it’s just about letting Xie Wenqi and Lu Sixue get married, not sending them to die. If Lu Sixue is not happy, the worst that can happen is that they can get divorced later!
So the couple didn't object any more and tacitly agreed to the marriage.
******
The next morning, Lu Sixue went to the Lu family with some gifts prepared for her by Old Lady Xie.
The Lu family's villa was located in low-lying areas and was flooded a few days ago. With the money given by Xie Wenqi, the Lu family moved to a low-rent house in the northern part of the city.
There have been floods everywhere recently, and many people seeking refuge are crowded in the dilapidated low-rent housing. Lu Sixue held the belongings in her arms tightly, carefully avoiding the victims lying on the floor, and finally arrived in front of the Lu family's rental house. Then she took out the key, opened the door and went in.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, an unpleasant smell instantly hit her in the face, and Lu Sixue couldn't help but dry heave twice.
“Ugh! Ugh!”
Hearing the noise coming from the door, Lu Siming ran over immediately. Seeing Lu Sixue at the door, his eyes lit up: "Xue'er, you're here!"
Ever since Lu Sixue met Xie Wenqi, she moved in with Xie Wenqi and rarely came home during this period. When he saw Lu Sixue coming home, Lu Siming couldn't hide his excitement.
Compared to Lu Siming's joy and excitement, Lu Sixue had a look of disgust on her face. She pinched her nose and took two steps back, asking in a muffled voice: "Brother! What's that smell in the room? It stinks!"
The stench in the room was so strong, even worse than in a building full of refugees! It was like the smell of garbage from a garbage dump in the summer that had been rotting for a week, so strong and pungent that Lu Sixue felt like she was going to vomit!
Seeing this, Lu Siming rubbed his hands on his clothes with some embarrassment, and replied: "It rained heavily last night. There might be a problem with the drainage system in the community. The sewers and toilets at home are backflowing, and a lot of sewage is coming up..."
The Lu family was awakened last night by the stench of filth coming back from the toilet. After waking up, they found that the house was full of water, which was ankle-deep, and there were many unspeakable things floating on the water.
The Lu family could only clean the house desperately, until the second half of the night when the drainage of the toilet and sewer returned to normal.
