Chapter 6: Finding a house and signing up for my cousin to go to the countryside
Ming Dai followed him quietly until they turned a corner and then called out to him, "Brother Ma Liu, Brother Ma Liu."
Hearing a little girl's voice calling him, Ma Liu stopped and turned around in surprise. When he saw that it was Mingdai who called him, he was a little disappointed.
A firewood girl.
Ma Liu crossed his arms, anger still lingering in his eyes, and the moment he opened his mouth, he spoke in a hostile tone: "Who are you? Why are you calling me grandpa?"
Ming Dai lowered her head and walked forward: "I'm from the compound next door, Brother Ma Liu, do you want to buy a house?"
When Ma Liu heard about the house, he stopped thinking about leaving.
He looked at the skinny girl suspiciously: "You have a house?"
Ming Dai simply told the story of how she, an orphan, was persecuted by her uncle's family, and was about to go to the countryside and have her house occupied.
Although Ma Liu is a bad guy, he is a very loyal person.
26 is still unmarried because there are too many children in his family, 7 boys and he is the sixth child. There is simply no house for him to get married.
As for buying a house, one thing is that it is expensive, and another is that no one wants to buy it.
Now everyone wants to move into the city, and even if he has a house, he can't compete with others.
After hearing Chaihuonv's story, it was just right for him!
If I have a house, Fangfang will definitely be willing to marry me!
"Your uncle is such a piece of shit. How are you going to sell this house?"
Nowadays, a good house starts at at least 300, and Mingdai's house can be sold for 500.
"My uncle will definitely not let this go and will come after you. I have to tell you this in advance."
Ma Liu waved his hands nonchalantly and sneered, "Come on, Grandpa is afraid of him!"
Ming Dai was very satisfied: "I'll give you 400 yuan for the house. I don't want more. Just help me teach them a lesson."
Ma Liu's eyes lit up. 400 bucks! What a bargain!
"Okay, sister, don't worry, I will definitely make clear arrangements for your uncle's family!"
Ming Dai smiled and nodded: "I will leave early the day after tomorrow, it would be best if we go to the Housing Authority tomorrow."
Ma Liu also wanted to finalize it as soon as possible. Who could understand the bitterness of an old bachelor?
Mingdai was also very satisfied. A wicked person must be dealt with wickedly. She was looking forward to her uncle's expression when he knew that she had sold the house.
So the two of them agreed to meet at the door of the Housing Authority early tomorrow morning.
After they separated, Mingdai strolled along the riverbank, looking at this strange yet familiar city, feeling only to be filled with novelty.
She is really about to start a new life.
"Hey! Girl, come down quickly, don't let your mind wander!"
Mingdai, who was just sighing, was pulled down from the riverbank by an old lady wearing a red armband.
"Hey, you young people, you are so young, what do you have to worry about? You are always looking for death, I, an old lady, haven't lived enough!"
Mingdai then realized that she was thought to be going to jump into the river. She listened with helplessness on her face and was finally escorted home by the old lady.
Seeing them come in, the people in the compound surrounded them again.
The old lady told the story of how she heroically rescued a suicidal girl from the river bank.
The neighbors around sighed and told Mingdai about her situation.
The old lady also sighed.
Amidst the sighs, Mingdai secretly returned home.
Another good night's sleep.
The next day, Mingdai went out early in the morning.
When I arrived at the Housing Authority, no one was there yet and the door was not open.
She found a sheltered place, quietly took out a piece of coconut bread and started to eat it. After finishing it, she hid the milk in her sleeve and drank a bottle.
By the time she had finished packing, Ma Liu had also arrived.
Seeing him looking outside, Mingdai called him.
Ma Liu came over trembling.
The wind was still cool in the morning, and Ma Liu's cotton padded jacket was a little thin. He said with trembling legs, "Sister, you're here early!"
Mingdai smiled. Fortunately, she was wearing warm underwear and a down jacket inside, otherwise she would have been frozen to death.
Ma Liu sniffed: "The door will be open soon, sister, have you had breakfast? I didn't invite you!"
Ming Dai smiled and shook her head: "Brother Ma Liu, I have eaten it before."
Ma Liu was not polite. He lifted the hem of his cotton jacket and took out a sewn cloth bag from his waistband. When he opened it, he found a bunch of banknotes inside.
Ming Dai: Thank him for not putting it in his underwear!
"Come on, sister, count, 400 exactly!"
Mingdai took it, facing away from the wind, and began to count carefully.
Ma Liu chuckled and didn't urge him.
400 in total, not a cent less. Mingdai carefully put the money into her bag, then smuggled it into the space, and then took out a key from her bag.
"This is my house key, but I suggest you change the lock. I'm not sure if my uncle has my house key."
Ma Liu took it with a smile: "Don't worry, sister."
Mingdai saw that he knew what was going on, so she said no more. The two of them waited for a while, and the Housing Authority started working.
Half an hour later, the two came out with smiles on their faces.
"Brother Ma Liu, I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. You can just go and tidy up the house. I've packed everything."
Ma Liu nodded with satisfaction. He had already asked secretly and it was indeed what the girl said. He was not afraid that she was lying to him.
The two separated, and Mingdai planned to do one last thing.
Relying on her memory, she came to the educated youth office.
The train to the countryside will leave tomorrow, but there is still one person missing.
Director Qi, who was in charge of the work going to the countryside, was so anxious that bubbles appeared on his lips. If it didn't work, he would really take people to the homes of the masses to capture people and take them to the countryside.
"Hello, comrade."
A delicate female voice was heard, and Director Qi looked up, and saw a yellow-haired girl looking at him timidly.
He was delighted: "Are you here to sign up to go to the countryside?"
Ming Dai smiled and said, "I have signed up. I want to ask if I can change to a place in the countryside."
Director Qi was very disappointed and said coldly: "It has been decided and cannot be changed."
Ming Dai was not angry, and continued calmly: "I don't like the commune near the capital that my family signed me up for. I want to shine in Heilongjiang Province. Do you think it can be changed?"
Near the capital?
Director Qi rolled his eyes and saw a man from Heilongjiang Province who wanted to change to one that was closer.
"It's not impossible, but someone has to be willing to swap with you."
Ming Dai smiled and said, "Director, can I still sign up to go to the countryside? My cousin is supposed to go to the countryside, but he forgot to sign up. I'll sign up for him."
Director Qi's eyes widened instantly: "Really?!"
Ming Dai nodded: "If you don't believe me, check it out. The Ming family in Liu'er Hutong has two children, one is 20 and the other is 18. Neither of them has ever been to the countryside."
Director Qi took out a pile of information and rummaged through it, and finally found that it was indeed true.
But there is already someone on the list of people going to the countryside, Mingdai.
He looked at the little girl in front of him and felt that there was something going on.
But what does it have to do with me?
This family should have a child who went to the countryside.
It's a good thing someone gave him a pillow just because he was sleepy, and he just happened to be short of one!
Although I didn’t bring my household registration booklet, the situation is special and we have to make special arrangements.
Getting the job done is the most important thing!
So he cleared his throat and looked at Mingdai warmly.
"Ming Yaozu, right? Where are you going to the countryside?"
Ming Dai thought for a moment and said, "The Great Northwest, my cousin is very enlightened."
Director Qi's mouth twitched. The little girl was quite evil-minded, but since it could solve a quota for the Northwest, he raised his hands in approval.
"Okay, I'll transfer Mingdai to Hongqi Commune in Heilongjiang Province. Someone wants to switch back."
Mingdai smiled contentedly.
Before leaving, he said, "Director, if anyone comes and asks who registered Ming Yaozu, please tell them it was Ming Yanhong."
Director Qi decided to agree because she helped him solve the problem.
Moreover, he did not plan to notify them today. He planned to arrest people directly tomorrow to avoid any unnecessary complications.
