Chapter 5 Selling the job, Malacca

After a while, Director Niu and his family arrived.

Director Niu’s husband’s surname is Gao. He wore a pair of black-framed glasses and greeted Mingdai warmly.

Behind him was a girl with two braids, about seventeen or eighteen years old, looking at her curiously.

Hiding from people and coming to a secluded place, Director Gao asked Mingdai what she needed and then went in first with the cart.

Director Niu took Mingdai and her daughter to the administrative office building.

She has a wide network of contacts, and she completed the process in no time. After receiving the written documents, she felt relieved, and the girl with the braided hair also laughed out loud.

Director Niu let the girl go home first and took Mingdai to Director Gao's office.

Director Gao also got what Mingdai wanted and found her a small paint-chipped first aid box that looked quite decent.

"Mingdai, this is 750 yuan. You have helped Aunt Niu a lot. Please accept this money!"

Unexpectedly, Director Niu was so generous and gave me 50 yuan more.

Mingdai wanted to refuse, but Director Gao persuaded her to take it.

Seeing this, Mingdai understood what the other person meant, and she quickly took the money and medicine box and left.

Director Niu felt a little envious when she saw the girl's agile figure. If her daughter had such vision and strategy, she wouldn't have to worry about whether she could go to the countryside. She had been really tortured these past few days.

Director Gao took a sip of tea and said, "Our daughter has a father and a mother. Why do we need to consider so much?"

Director Niu stood up and smiled: "Yes, I thought too much. Okay, the work is done, and I should take a break. You can go to work."

Mingdai came out with the medicine box and found a public toilet. She put the medicine box in the toilet when no one was there.

He took out all the money from the passbook and put it into the space using the backpack as a cover.

There were quite a few tickets in the small cloth bag her father left for her, all of which had geographical and time restrictions. She wouldn't be coming back in the short term, so she planned to use them all.

The next target is the supply and marketing cooperative.

It was the normal working time and there were not many people in the supply and marketing cooperative.

She walked from counter to counter with the ticket.

Enamel basins, two please;

Two enamelware pots, please.

Three pounds of White Rabbit milk candy, please!

Cotton, come nine feet!

When she came out again, she had bags in her hands, especially cotton, as she had basically bought out all the stock in the supply and marketing cooperative.

The place where her aunt registered her was in her hometown, where there was a stupid son waiting to get married, so she naturally didn't want to go.

She planned to go to Heilongjiang Province. Although it was cold and freezing there, the country was remote, the policies were lenient, and the resources were abundant.

But before she left, she still had to solve the problem of buying a house, and she had already decided who to give it to.

I was carrying a lot of bags back home, but I was blocked as soon as I entered the courtyard.

The neighbors who were not working were chatting under the tree. When they saw her come back, they quickly gathered around to see what she had bought.

"Mingdai, why did you buy so much cotton?"

Ming Dai pretended to be sad and lowered her head: "The place we went to in the countryside was Heilongjiang Province. I was afraid of freezing to death, so I bought more cotton."

"Heilongjiang Province! It's so far away. Your aunt is so cruel!"

"That's right, Ming Changjiang's family is really shameless. They are obviously planning to wipe out the whole family?"

"Mingdai, how much money did your father leave for you? Is there any left after all the shopping?"

Ming Dai shook her head: "Not much left. After buying all the things this time, it will be almost done."

The neighbors were talking about it, and an old woman even wanted to grab it.

Mingdai brought it up directly and rushed back to the room pretending to be sad.

These people, seeing that her father had died and that she was a little girl without anyone to protect her, either took her broom away from her house, or dumped used beehive coal at her doorstep. They all thought that she had no one to rely on and bullied her.

This time he went up to her not because he cared about her, but more because he wanted to see the excitement and find some good things.

Ignoring the discussions outside, Mingdai looked around the room.

This is the largest room in the compound. It was originally divided into two rooms by a curtain, but now the curtain is gone.

The owner of the house had some problems and fled overseas, and the house was deducted from the government.

The government took it back, split it up and resold it.

Ming's father had just returned from military service and found that there was no room for him at home. He also had a baby girl. His family was very dissatisfied with him and they often had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days.

Ming's father was very sad, after all, he had joined the army in place of his eldest brother.

Finally, he brought Xiao Mingdai out, used his retirement allowance to buy the largest room here, and never returned home since then.

Because his room was the largest in the yard and there were only two of them living there, many families with larger people wanted to switch rooms with him. However, Ming's father did not agree because he had a daughter who needed her own independent space. As a result, the neighbors were lukewarm about their family.

Now that she was leaving, she couldn't believe that these neighbors were not interested.

But she certainly wouldn't sell it to them, and these people wouldn't pay him a high price.

Now, she plans to tidy up her house, take away what can be taken away, and put everything into the space, so that she can feel at ease.

The first thing is her textbooks and books. She has to take them with her. According to her understanding of the historical development of the world, she will resume her studies in the later period of the college entrance examination, and she needs these books as a cover.

Next came her and dad’s clothes.

She put all of her father's clothes into a wicker box and kept them there, not intending to move them.

She didn't take off her clothes and put them away. Her father was generous to her, so the clothes Mingdai bought were of good quality, but the colors were very poor.

This is normal. In this era, the colors are all blue, gray and black, and military green has to be snatched.

Even though the situation was so urgent, her father still prepared two bundles of army green cloth for her, which were intended to be her trousseau.

I collected all the gifts from my father, and then put the scattered items in the house into a big pile. With the idea that I wouldn't suffer a loss by keeping them, I didn't keep any of them that I liked.

In the end, the whole room was empty, cleaner than if it had been swept by bandits.

It was already afternoon. Mingdai slipped into the space, took out the steak, cooked pasta for herself, had a delicious meal, and then took a nap.

When I woke up again, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.

I stretched my waist and felt so comfortable!

She is not hungry now. She plans to settle the house issue. She will leave for the countryside the day after tomorrow. She will feel relieved if she can get it done earlier.

After she packed up, she left the room, closed the door, still carrying her small bag, and rushed out of the compound with her head down.

After leaving the compound, I walked along the alley for a few minutes and turned into another alley.

It was even more chaotic here, with dirty water all over the floor. At the door, a shirtless man was holding a bowl, slurping porridge and looking at the strange face that walked in.

Mingdai looked around carefully and found the one at the back.

Before I knocked on the door, I heard sounds of quarreling from inside.

She heard the quick footsteps and turned away. The next second, the door was kicked open and a yellow-haired man came out angrily, still cursing.

This is the person she is looking for, Ma Liu.
