Lin Duzhong was happy about their decision, Lin Houpu was relieved, and Lin Guangbai just said, "Just make up your mind."
Lin Chuanbai has indeed thought it through.
But when Li Yujiao was suddenly informed, she felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her. Why did she suddenly make such a decision?!
Lao Lin didn't tell her in advance that if he were here, it would definitely have an impact on them and their son, but in front of everyone, the expression on her face tightened.
She had no reason to object to this matter.
He also said that they bought the house with their own money. Li Yujiao didn't believe that they didn't need Lao Lin's help, but there was no doubt that saying this would win their favor.
Alarm bells were ringing in her heart.
Her perception of this second son has changed a lot. She thought he was an honest man before, but now it seems that she was wrong.
After Lin Houpu was out of danger, Lin Guangbai was almost ready to go back. He and Yun Jing both worked in the government and could not leave for too long. This time he had to use the long vacation he had accumulated over several years, which was approved by his superiors. Fortunately, he was not busy, otherwise even if something really happened to him, the vacation would not be approved.
Work comes first.
Of course, this also means that his position is indeed important.
Lin Houpu understood this logic, so when he proposed to go back, he didn't say anything. He asked Chen Jinde to help prepare a lot of things for them to take back, most of which were for his grandchildren.
As a grandfather, this was the first time he saw his eldest grandson.
There is a reason why generations apart are closer. He himself has a younger son of the same age, but when he sees his eldest grandson, the expression on his face becomes more kind.
Even if Lin Yunling and Fu Heqi are better, they can't stay here for long.
They will be going back in a few days.
Lin Chuanbai and Yu Xiangan will go back with them. They need to pack up their things and take care of their work matters.
Chen Jinde, or "Little Chen" in Lin Houpu's mouth, is very capable. To be able to serve as the factory director's assistant, he is not a simple person.
In just two days, he found two houses for sale.
Lin Chuanbai and Yu Xiangan went to see it first. One of them was a one-room bungalow. The room was not big, with a simple kitchen built at the door. There were neighbors on both sides, and the house was also a bit old. If the two adults and a child were to live there for a short period of time, it would be enough, but it would be inconvenient to use the toilet.
The other one was a house of a wealthy family before, but was later distributed to people without houses. Now the owner of one of the rooms is moving to another place, so they have to sell it. This one can also be registered separately. This one also has only one room, but the advantage is that the house has a good location, but the disadvantage is that it is crowded with people, with people living upstairs and downstairs.
They went to see these houses, but were not satisfied with any of them, so they kept looking. They got this result in just two days. I believe that they will have more choices over time. Their requirements are that it doesn’t matter if it’s a little older, but as big as possible, but without too many people in it, as that would be noisy.
Neither of them can handle a noisy environment.
If they really can't find one, they can just buy a place to get their household registration settled, and then rent a house nearby.
Anyway, it won’t be too long, because they know they won’t stay here for a long time, and they don’t have the energy to take good care of the house after buying it, so they just have to make do with it during this period of time.
Of course, if they have other better options and can get it done in one step, that would be the best case scenario.
They bought tickets back, four adults and three children, still sleeper tickets.
Before, when they were there and talked about their future move to Qincheng, Lin Yunling didn't have any real feelings, but now, when they went back together, Lin Yunling suddenly felt a belated sadness.
It will be difficult for her to see her brother in the future.
She wanted to see them and it would take several days by train.
Where can you find such a long vacation?
My grandfather is no longer in his hometown, so I can't just pick a day off, leave in the morning, and come back in the afternoon to see him.
From then on, her parents' home was far away from her.
She suddenly felt reluctant to let him go, but she didn't ask him not to do it. Even though she was reluctant, she knew that his future would be brighter there.
As his elder sister, how could she let him continue to waste his time in his hometown just because of such selfishness?
After traveling for a few days, Yu Xiangan returned to Baishi County and dropped the bomb. The Yu family was stunned.
Yu Xianghai opened his mouth without any image. His mouth was so big that an egg could be easily stuffed into it. "Why did you suddenly say you want to go to Qincheng?!"
Yu Xiangan gave a reason she had thought of long ago: "That's the provincial capital, with abundant resources and opportunities. His grandfather and father are both there, and his grandfather decided to live there first." She wanted to go to the university there to learn from others, and wanted to go to the capital nearby...
Yu Qingshan tried to hold it in for a long time but couldn't utter a word of no. He certainly didn't want his daughter to be so far away from her.
They wouldn't know if she was bullied because they were far away, but even if she was bullied, they would know it and it would be too late for them to rush over.
But that is Lin Chuanbai's biological father, and he has a high position. There will be people to take care of him there, so it is not surprising that he goes there to develop. They are a family reunion there, and as the women's side, they don't have the nerve to stop him from going.
So he was silent for a while, and after a long time he asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you want to go?"
"Dad, I want to go." After staying in one place for a long time, she wanted to go somewhere else.
She had been holding it in for too long, for several years, and the farthest place she had ever been was the city.
She wanted to go somewhere else.
Ye Qijia was a little envious. She also wanted to go somewhere else, the provincial capital. "Is there any difference between the provincial capital in the north and here?"
"There are more factories and more people there, and it's very cold in winter. You need to prepare thick clothes there, otherwise you won't be able to survive the winter."
Ye Qijia sighed a little: "I have never been to such a far place. The farthest place is the city, and I have only been there once."
"I will have many opportunities to travel around in the future." After the reform and opening up, transportation will also be improved, and I can go wherever I want.
Yu Qingshan sighed: "Then go, but you have to remember, no matter where you are, this is your home. You can come back anytime you want."
"Thank you, Dad."
Zhao Qiaoniang was at the side, hesitating to speak. If she had to go so far, what about her job?
Yu Xianghai also thought of this question, "How are you going to handle your work?"
"My job is not something that most people can do. I will tell Deputy Director Wang and ask him to select the right person to smoothly hand over the job. If there is a child who is in need, I will sell him for a suitable price."
Everyone in their family has a job now, except my second sister-in-law. But did she leave her husband and children behind to come here?
There are so many of her acquaintances in the county town, and she would hide here and not go out. Yu Xiangan didn't think she would make such a choice.
Zhao Qiaoniang doesn’t have a formal job now, but what about giving it to her?
Yu Xiangan did not forget how she came here. It was because the original owner died and she took advantage of him that she was able to survive. She owed the original owner. Ding Minxiu and Zhou Boyang owed the original owner a life.
Although Zhao Qiaoniang had no prior knowledge of this, it was impossible to completely separate her from Ding Minxiu.
Ding Minxiu is her daughter and Zhou Boyang is her son-in-law. There is no way she could give this job to her.
Everyone on my grandmother's side has a job, so selling this job is the best option.
If Yu Xiangqing was not married, she would be the most suitable candidate, but she was already married, to an educated youth.
He holds a position in the commune and is a capable person.
Yu Xiangqing herself worked in a paper mill, which was close to the commune. If she returned to the county town, they would be separated.
After much thought, it would be most appropriate to sell it for money.
This job was originally hers, and she has the right to dispose of it.
She notified everyone who should be notified. Yao Cuifen was reluctant to let her go, but since she also wanted to go, there was nothing she could say. She could only say that she would come back to visit when she had time.
At the factory, Yu Xiangan also reported the situation to Deputy Director Wang.
Deputy Director Wang tried to persuade her to stay, but seeing that she insisted, he could only wish her a brighter future. The person who would take over her position was the one who was currently filling in for her. He had done a good job when Yu Xiangan asked for leave before.
Yu Xiangan just needs to hand over some of the work, and that will be enough.
After that, I asked my neighbor Director Chen for help. Her job was worth some money, and she didn’t ask for much, just the market price.
Yu Xiangan also told Yan Yuzhen about this matter, and even if they were not together in the future, they should keep in touch.
Also, ask her to help ask if there is anyone who wants to buy her house as she is about to sell it.
She paid for it at the original price, and now she is selling it with a little money added for renovation.
As soon as the news got out, someone came looking for him. Yu Xiangan saw that the price was right and there was nothing wrong with the person's character, so he quickly packed up his personal belongings and made the transaction, earning a few hundred dollars more in his pocket.
She also took time to dig for gold in the mountains outside the county town, and some of the gold she received was indeed buried in random places underground.
She didn't know how she got this farm. She was not someone who would rely solely on cheats to make a living. She had to be prepared for what she should do if the farm disappeared.
Can't rely on it completely.
If this really happens, some money and gold she has saved in other places can help her in an emergency. She is now able to support herself well. Even if the farm is really gone, she will not starve. But her living standard will inevitably decline, and she will not have enough space to store so many things, and it will not be as convenient.
She did not dig out all the buried things at once. She dug out a part of them and left the rest there for future use.
Maybe the place he found was good and wasn't poached by others.
Yu Xiangan took a look around and took these little things back.
Ahem, this is the confidence they have in settling down in Qincheng.
After Lin Chuanbai told his second uncle and others, Lin Nanxing and Lin Chuanqiong expressed their reluctance, and Lin Jiqing just said dryly: "Is that so? Okay." That was all.
Xu Haili immediately thought about his job, "You are leaving, what about your job? Second Aunt just happens to be short of a job."
Lin Chuanbai: “…”
He wouldn't give her the job.
If they are willing to pay for it, that’s another matter.
Did she think she had forgotten all her previous criticisms and nagging?
Xu Haili wanted to get a job for free instead of buying it with money. She tried to persuade Lin Chuanbai with both emotion and reason, but Lin Chuanbai did not respond. Then she got angry and called him heartless. Lin Chuanqiong blushed when he saw her reaction.
His mother's expression made him unable to raise his head in front of his cousin, so he forcibly pulled her away.
Lin Duzhong didn't care. He went into his grandfather's room, sealed the boxes that needed to be sealed, locked the things that needed to be locked, and packed up some things that his grandfather said he would need, and sent them over.
Two people have to take care of two children, so they really can't bring too many things.
Most of his things had been moved back to their little nest, and after packing them up here, he also hurriedly prepared a few ginseng roots and put them aside for use. They were fresh and some had been stored for a while, so even if Xiao An didn't understand, they couldn't be too obvious.
He also dug up some "inventory" and then packed up the furniture. It was easier to handle in his studio in the hospital. Whoever wanted it could just pay money to exchange it.
Those who have real skills can stay in the pharmacy, and those who don’t will be transferred away.
They were very busy, so the two children were left at their grandmother's house until they packed their things and made the handover. By the time they set off, a month had passed.
They both lost two kilograms. They were too busy and too tedious. Saying goodbye to relatives and friends, packing up, finishing work... After finishing all these, Yu Xiangan got on the train and lay down for a few days.
At this time, I no longer feel that the train is uncomfortable. I can just lie down comfortably and empty my mind.
She even wondered if she really needed to find another job.
Their savings are enough to get them through this period.
But this was just a momentary impulse. After I calmed down, I still had to find a job.
They went to Qincheng and went straight back to the house they were assigned in Lin Houpu's Machinery Factory. On the second floor, a room had been cleaned out for them. Originally this was a study and where Lin Houpu worked. Now that things had been sorted out and a bed had been put in, it had everything it needed.
Before they buy a house, their household registration will be registered here first.
If there is no place to receive it, the household registration cannot be transferred.
Once you find a house, you can move out from here.
Both of them were determined to make a quick decision, which was different from when they got married when they were striving for perfection. At that time, they would live there for several years, and they thought they would live there until the college entrance examination was resumed, so they were really attentive. But now they obviously know that it is a transitional place, and they can also choose to rent a house, so naturally they don't care so much.
If they didn't have their own secrets and were not thinking about working hard to fill their pockets so that they could buy a house to settle down when they went to the capital, they would not have asked for high privacy and few neighbors.
Lin Houpu has not been discharged from the hospital yet and is still staying in the hospital, but a lot of his work has been dealt with, so as long as it is not excessive, it will not have much impact.
Now, there are eight people living in this house: Lin Duzhong, Li Yujiao, Li Tiandong, Zhang Ying, and their family of four. When Lin Houpu is discharged from the hospital, there will be nine people in total.
The originally spacious house changed in an instant.
Nothing could be seen on Li Yujiao's face, but Li Tiandong was still young, so his expression showed clearly on his face.
To him, these were all strangers.
He is not welcome.
However, children's tempers come and go quickly. Yu Xiangan has experience in dealing with such children with bad tempers. She went into the kitchen and made a plate of snacks. The look in his eyes when he looked at Yu Xiangan changed.
Li Yujiao saw it, "..."
My son is too easy to bribe, isn’t he?
There is no need to say anything about Zhang Ying. He was just staying here temporarily and he was aware of his identity, so he didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Lin Chuanbai secretly gave Yu Xiangan a thumbs up.
It seems that her craftsmanship has improved.
After settling down, Lin Chuanbai and Yu Xiangan quickly became busy again, and Lin Yihong and Lin Yining were left to Lin Duzhong to help look after them.
They went to see the house.
Chen Jinde prepared four new houses for them to choose from, in addition to the two they had seen before. The first of these four was a attic on the second floor of a small villa with two rooms. Three families lived on the first and second floors respectively. The attic belonged to one person alone. If they bought it, they would own the attic alone. However, the attic was relatively short and inconvenient to enter and exit. After seeing it, they found the lighting too poor and rejected it.
The second one is a small warehouse for storing sundries in a supply and marketing cooperative. It was previously a storage room of a wealthy family and then, because the warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperative broke down, it was temporarily used as a small warehouse for a nearby supply and marketing cooperative. Now that the supply and marketing cooperative has built a new warehouse, this storage room is vacant. This storage room is nearly 40 square meters and there are not many neighbors around. But it is old and the terrain is relatively low, so one has to turn into an alley to enter and exit.
The third one is a mud brick house. Its advantage is that it has a large yard, but its disadvantages are that it is located in a remote area and the house is old and leaky.
Another type is a single room in a building, which is smaller, about 10 square meters, but has all the facilities, upstairs and downstairs, electricity and telephone. This one is also the most expensive.
Yu Xiangan, Lin Chuan and Bai all took a fancy to the utility room, which was separated from the surrounding buildings and had its own entrance and exit.
Although it's a bit old, it just needs to be re-putty inside.
After calculating the price, this is indeed a better deal.
However, they did not buy it immediately. Now that they have a place to register their household registration, they want to give it a try and see if they can solve the employment issue at once.
There are many factories in the provincial capital and many workers are needed, but the population here is also large, so it is not easy to get a formal employee.
But it's easier to get a fair chance when you have connections.
Yu Xiangan looked around and learned that a nearby bookstore was recruiting employees. She was immediately interested.
This bookstore is not far from the high school, not far from the university, and not far from the utility room that they value most.
Yu Xiangan took the initiative to buy books, pretended to read books and inquire about news, and then explained his situation.
She loves books and likes to read. She is unemployed now and wants to find a job. It would be great if she could work in a bookstore.
It also vaguely revealed Lin Houpu's level.
With a slight side eye from the store manager, she and two other people attended an interview, which she passed.
Yu Xiangan: “???”
Isn't this too easy? Then she found out that the bookstore had been targeted by gangsters recently. The people here didn't have any background and couldn't intimidate them. Yu Xiangan was different. She had a background.
Yu Xiangan: "..."
Well, it’s good to each take what he needs.
That solved her job.
Lin Chuanbai also started to inquire around.
The high school is not far from the center of the city. There is a hospital nearby. It is not the People's Hospital of the provincial capital, but it is more of an obstetrics and gynecology hospital. Lin Chuanbai looked at the distance and thought it was a good choice, so he went to inquire if they were recruiting.
Lin Houpu was shocked when he heard about it: “???”
He wanted to arrange for him to go to the machinery factory's clinic, but he was unwilling.
When asked if he wanted to be an officer, he said no. He also wanted to go to the hospital to work as a pharmacy employee dispensing medicine. Then what was the point of him coming here all the way?
His wife was also unwilling to work in the machinery factory. It was unknown what kind of connections she had, but she got a job as a clerk in a bookstore without his intervention.
What is the future of this job?
It was a bit of free time, but the salary was low and there were no opportunities for promotion in the future. He felt that these two people were deliberately trying to irritate him.
Lin Chuanbai felt helpless, "I'm not deliberately going against you, we two just want to find a less busy job."
Lin Houpu felt that he was lucky not to be angry to death. "Why do you want to be idle? You are so young, if you don't work hard now, when will you work hard again? When your peers are all successful, and you are the only ones who are still standing still, what will your children think?"
"No, we want to take the college entrance examination. Now the college entrance examination has not been resumed. We are all recommended to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. You also know the disadvantages of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Although I wanted to go before, I later thought forget it. I won't learn anything if I go, and it's easy to get into trouble. I don't have so many ideas. The country is in this situation now. There is a shortage of talents. I think it won't be long before the college entrance examination will be resumed. I will have free time and time to read. If the college entrance examination is resumed, I will take the college entrance examination. I will be more confident and take a regular exam to go to university. After I finish my studies and graduate from university, I will have a wider range of choices."
Lin Houpu didn't expect him to say this, and his previous anger disappeared. "Is this what you thought?"
"right."
Lin Houpu was silent. He also felt that the college entrance examination would be resumed sooner or later, but when would it be resumed?
If it had been five or ten years, his youth would have been gone.
If the people above don't reveal any secrets, the people below can only guess. If they guess right, that's great and everyone is happy. If they guess wrong, he has wasted so many years compared to others, and it will be too late to climb up by then.
Lin Houpu thought about it and still felt that he needed to do both, but Lin Chuanbai was unwilling to do so. He also had to study medicine with Lin Duzhong and review at the same time. Human energy is limited.
Can you force me to drink water?
He is already so old, and facing his son, Lin Houpu himself is also weak in confidence. He cannot force him to do things according to his ideas. In the end, he can only watch them both find jobs and buy the house. He did not spend a penny in the process, he just acted as a middleman. They also got the job by themselves, so his favor was not used at all.
And he has prepared the money to buy a house.
Lin Houpu: “…”
Mixed feelings.
The house has been bought and now it needs to be renovated. You can't move in immediately after the renovation, and the furniture inside also needs to be arranged. However, the household registration can be transferred out. Lin Duzhong thinks it doesn't matter if it is not transferred out, but Lin Chuanbai insists.
Lin Duzhong had no choice but to go along with him. He knew that his second grandson had a barrier in his heart towards his father, otherwise he wouldn't be so distant from him. This was not something an ordinary father and son would do, but they had been separated for so long, and their parents were divorced. He had a stepmother and a stepfather, and the situation was complicated and different from that of ordinary families. He wanted to persuade them but didn't know how. He had already said what he should say, and he could only let him figure it out slowly.
Li Yujiao, who did nothing: "..."
Is this the surprise from heaven?
They didn't spend any money and they are moving out!
Now that everything has been settled, their wallets have shrunk dramatically. The two of them counted their visible assets and began to plan how to make extra money.
Coming here and starting from scratch, the salary level is the lowest. It is difficult to live a good life if you rely on this salary.
But this is the provincial capital.
The resources and opportunities in the provincial capital are incomparable to those in the county town.
There is a high school on the left side of the bookstore, and behind the high school is the junior high school. There is a night school four kilometers to the right, and Qincheng University is further to the right. Go straight, turn a corner, and walk another kilometer to the department store. Two kilometers ahead of the department store is the factory area.
This bookstore looks inconspicuous and its location is really good.
