Chapter 21 Buying a House 1



Jiang Mengxue sighed: "It's better to let things take their course. There's no point in being anxious.

Auntie, is your daughter Lihua still in high school? She will take the college entrance examination next year, right? Have you decided which university to apply to?

"Hey, why bother applying to university? With her grades, whether she can graduate successfully is another matter. I'm just begging her to be honest in her last year and get through graduation. Then I'll be satisfied if she can find a job in the neighborhood committee."

Aunt Ma has some idea of ​​how much knowledge her daughter has. She thinks it's good enough if she can graduate, but she doesn't dare to think about going to college.

"Alas, children nowadays don't want to study. The last time I went home, my mother told me that my eldest nephew skipped classes and came home, saying he would rather farm at home than go to school. My brother had to beat him back with a stick."

The Jiang family has a promising child like Jiang Mengxue, so these children are placed with high hopes.

Not to mention how well we can expect them to study, but at least they will be able to find a job after graduation. It's impossible for them to not even have a junior high school or high school diploma. Factories will definitely give priority to those with higher academic qualifications.

Aunt Ma and Jiang Mengxue both smiled bitterly. Parents definitely want their children to have a bright future, at least to finish their studies.

Lihua, the daughter of Aunt Ma, attends the high school affiliated with the machinery factory, where most of the students are children of the factory's employees.

Of course Jiang Mengxue and her friends who come from the countryside cannot enter this school.

Jiang Mengxue originally attended an ordinary high school in the city, which was filled with children from other small factory workers' families or those who were admitted from the countryside.

After all, only a few companies have the ability to open their own factory high schools, and only large factories have this capability.

Only a few people in Jiang Mengxue's village were able to get into junior high school and high school. Those who graduated from high school later found jobs in the city, and the worst ones found temporary jobs.

However, they were all in the county town or the commune, and Jiang Mengxue was not familiar with them because they were not of the same age. She might meet them once in a while when she went home, and at most she would say hello.

The only person of the same age might be Jiang Chunhua from my cousin's family, who is two years older than Jiang Mengxue.

Because Jiang Mengxue started school early and skipped grades, the two were almost in the same grade. However, Jiang Chunhua attended high school in the county, while Jiang Mengxue was directly admitted to a high school in the city.

After graduating from high school, Jiang Chunhua was recommended by his teacher to work as an accountant in the county shoe factory, and he did a very good job.

Jiang Mengxue didn't chat with Aunt Ma for long. She still had a lot of things to do today, and if she didn't leave now, there would not be enough time.

The first stop was the housing management office of the street to which we belonged.

Now that she has money, of course she wants to buy the two rooms she lives in now, and no one can interfere with how she modifies them in the future.

This is not the first time the housing management office has come. The last time was when the houses were being distributed.

When I walked in, I saw several office workers chatting and drinking tea.

Jiang Mengxue didn't see Director Gu who took her to see the house last time. It would be easier to find someone familiar to handle this kind of thing.

"Excuse me, is Director Gu here?"

The person at the desk looked up and saw Jiang Mengxue walking in against the light. He was stunned and didn't react.

Jiang Mengxue's appearance has never declined since she was a child. When she was in school, her family didn't need her to help because she was a good student.

Normally at home, she was only allowed to cook and wash clothes, and she was never even allowed to go out to collect grass for the pigs.

After that, I stayed in school for a few years and never got sunburned, not even a single spot.

She is at the age of a flower, and her skin is so smooth and tender, full of collagen, that there is not a single flaw on her fair skin.

Jiang Mengxue looks like her father. She doesn't have the melon-shaped face that people in later generations like, but a square face. However, her face is not big. In a word, she has a face that symbolizes peace and prosperity, and she looks gentle and generous.

She has thick eyebrows, big eyes, bright red lips, and a bright and elegant appearance.

It was the first time Zhou Yuanbin saw Jiang Mengxue. He had never seen Director Gu have such a beautiful relative.

Jiang Mengxue had already walked over. Zhou Yuanbin reacted instantly, showing a gentle smile and saying in a warm voice: "Hello, I'm the clerk here. My name is Zhou Yuanbin. Director Gu is in the office. Can I take you there?"

Jiang Mengxue responded politely: "Thank you, but I can go by myself, I can find it."

After saying that, he turned around and left. He had been here once before when he was assigned a room, so of course he knew where Director Gu's office was.

The door of the room at the end of the corridor was not closed. Director Gu was writing something with his head down. Jiang Mengxue still knocked on the door.

Gu Huaijue looked up and saw that it was Jiang Mengxue. His eyes lit up and he quickly stood up to greet her.

"Come in, come in, sit on the chair, I'll pour you a glass of water."

Jiang Mengxue was surprised by Director Gu's reaction when she saw her, but she still went into the room and sat on the chair outside the desk.

Gu Huaiju poured a cup of hot water into an enamel cup and placed it in front of Jiang Mengxue.

"Why are you free to come here today? Is there something going on?"

"Yes, Director Gu, I came here today because of my two rooms."

Gu Huaijue returned to his chair and frowned when he heard this: "Is it uncomfortable living here or is there someone who is dissatisfied with you moving in?"
