Chapter 196: Room Allocation

Gu Jianhua also thought it was a good deal, so he said, "Okay, daughter-in-law, tell the landlord when it's convenient for you to come over and transfer the ownership."

The landlord and his family moved to Hai City.

Su He, "I'll talk to my third sister-in-law tomorrow."

Coincidentally, Su He told her third sister-in-law Feng Shuning about the house. Feng Shuning asked her classmates and learned that the landlord's family would come to worship their ancestors in April.

Good things come in pairs. In April, Mr. and Mrs. Gu Jianhua from Su He bought their first courtyard, and the school also allocated a house to Su He.

It was not far from Peking University, in a tube-shaped building, with a floor area similar to the one they rented, both over 60 square meters, with three bedrooms and a living room.

Gu Jianhua said, "My wife has allocated a room for you, so I will give my quota to other colleagues."

The housing allocation situation in their bureau is quite intense. Many of their colleagues are composed of three generations of their family living together. Colleagues who have worked longer than him have not received any housing allocation.

Last year, his leader said that he would allocate a house to him this year. He probably felt sorry for him. Plus, he was usually very considerate and would bring some food for his leader.

In fact, the gifts were nothing rare, just some dried fish, dried beef, apples, pears, oranges, etc.

Su He: "Okay."

One house is enough. Since she has taken her share, she naturally doesn't need to worry about Jianhua's share. Otherwise, it would be a waste of national resources if she just occupies the house and doesn't live in it.

The next day, Gu Jianhua went to work and explained the matter to his leader, "Director Zhang, my wife has been allocated a house, so my quota will be given to other colleagues."

Director Zhang was surprised. "Your wife has been allocated a house. Isn't she studying in college? She graduated early."

"Yes, she graduated ahead of schedule with all the credits and stayed on to become a teacher," Gu Jianhua explained.

After listening to this, Director Zhang was impressed and said, "Your wife is amazing." She finished learning four years' worth of content in two years and even stayed on at the school as a teacher.

Her grades must be exceptionally good, otherwise Peking University would not have kept her as a teacher.

When others praised his wife Gu Jianhua, he was not modest and smiled, "My wife is indeed excellent."

"How's your pie shop doing? Is it going well?"

Gu Jianhua took them there to eat on the day of trial opening. They heard that the bakery was opened by Gu Jianhua's father-in-law and mother-in-law.

He thought that if he made money, he would help his children as well. Gu Jianhua's situation was really difficult. Although his son, daughter and daughter-in-law had both gone to college, the family had to rely on him to support them.

He still has to rent a house, but it should be better this year because his wife has graduated and is working, and the company has allocated a house for her so she doesn't have to rent anymore.

Can save a lot of money.

“The bakery business is OK.”

This month, they calculated the turnover for last month and it was actually over 170, which was more than their budget.

Director Zhang smiled and said, "Your cakes are delicious. You should promote them more so that more people know about them. I'll go back and talk to your sister-in-law and ask her to help promote them."

Except for the day when Gu Jianhua took them to eat on the trial opening day, he also went there alone at other times or took food home.

After all, the store is opened by my subordinate's family. It would be good if he patronizes it more often and helps increase the sales.

However, it might not be meal time when he went there, so there were not many people in the store, only one or two people, and it was very quiet.

Director Zhang felt that the bakery business run by Gu Jianhua's father-in-law was a bit poor.

He wondered if he would lose money, since he still had to pay rent for the store every month.

"Thank you, Director Zhang. We won't charge you for your meal."

Gu Jianhua didn’t know that his leader had thought so much. He just felt that he was a more enthusiastic leader who cared about his subordinates.

But what his leader said was right, their pancakes were indeed delicious, with good ingredients, thin skin and plenty of fillings, as evidenced by the steady stream of returning customers.

As expected, honesty wins people's hearts.

I'm not lying, thin skin and lots of fillings means thin skin and lots of fillings.

Although Gu Jianhua's words were polite, Director Zhang was still happy to hear them. He laughed and said, "How can we not charge you? If I go there every day, won't you lose money?"

"Then how could it be..."

After a few pleasantries, Gu Jianhua returned to his job.

Gu Jianhua's quota was given to a colleague of theirs named Wang Qingyu. Wang Qingyu was not very old, only about 27 or 28 years old, but he was already the father of three children.

As a leader, Director Zhang should carefully check the family background of his subordinates, especially when allocating housing. Compared with Gu Jianhua, Wang Qingyu is okay. At least he does not rent a house and his wife also has a job.

But it’s not good either.

There are three brothers in Wang Qingyu's family. All three brothers are married and have children. Their parents are also there, so the three brothers live with their wives and children in their parents' old house of more than 50 square meters.

There are more than ten people in the family, including three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.

It was so crowded that even the living room was occupied.

When there are many people, there are many conflicts, whether it is a fight between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, a fight between sisters-in-law, a fight between brothers, or a fight between children.

Anyway, all kinds of things.

Since Gu Jianhua no longer needs his spot, just give it to him.

The house they were allocated was not small, more than 40 square meters, enough for his family of five to live in.

Wang Qingyu was called by Director Zhang to talk about the housing allocation for him. He knew that it was because Gu Jianhua gave up the quota that he got this quota. He returned to the office, hugged Gu Jianhua and gave him a big kiss.

He did it so fast that Gu Jianhua didn't have time to react and was kissed.

Gu Jianhua, "............." He is not clean anymore!

"Thank you, Brother Gu. Can I treat you to a meal some other day?"

Wang Qingyu was so happy. Oh my God, he was finally going to move out and finally didn't have to watch his family quarreling.

He was dreading going home from get off work every day.

Gu Jianhua rubbed his face and said, "Next time you express your gratitude, you don't have to kiss me!"

Wang Qingyu scratched his head and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Brother Gu, I'm just too excited."

Everyone is happy to have a house, and Gu Jianhua and Su He are no exception.

So the couple picked a day off and prepared to move into the new house. As the saying goes, beggars have a lot of moving luggage. Since they were not beggars, they had even more luggage to move.

Su He went to school to find Chang Yi and Chang An to move together.

The two kids also found helpers. Changan brought his roommate Qin Feng, and Changyi brought Han Shuyan, Han Jiajia's younger brother.

Changan is still okay as a roommate, they are good friends, but as for Changyi...even a fool can see that something is wrong.

Han Shuyan likes her daughter.

Changyi is eighteen years old this year, and it is time for him to fall in love as an adult. Su He is not a stubborn feudal parent, and as long as they are adults, she will not object to her children falling in love.

As long as nothing happens before marriage, it's fine.

It’s better to talk about a few more.

But my girlfriend said before that she would not fall in love before graduating from college and getting a job. I don’t know if this idea has changed this year.

Or maybe she doesn't like Han Shuyan and can refuse to avoid any fuss.

Su He took the opportunity of moving to pull Chang Yi over and chat about this matter.

"Mom, Han Shuyan didn't say that he likes me, and he didn't confess to me." Changyi was helpless.

The other person didn't even confess to her, so why did she reject him?

Su He, "....he didn't confess, but you can feel that he has a crush on you, right?"

It's not just her as a mother who is overthinking. The two of them actually walk to and from school together and eat at the same table in the cafeteria.

We climbed the Great Wall together, even though Chang'an and his roommate were there too.

Then during this move, the kid also came over on his own initiative. Even though Han Jiajia was involved, it was none of Han Jiajia’s business!

Su He did not believe that there could be such pure love between men and women.

Besides, the way Han Shuyan looked at her daughter was really impure.

“...Yeah.” Chang Yi nodded.

She is not a fool. Of course she can feel that Han Shuyan treats her differently. He has treated her differently since she entered Peking University and met him.

At the beginning, they were not very familiar with each other, but he always liked to talk to her and take care of her. Later, as they got familiar with each other, it became more natural.

But since he hadn't confessed his feelings, she couldn't be so narcissistic as to ask him, "Hey, you don't like me, do you?"

Chang Yi can't do it.

"What about you? Do you have a good impression of him? Do you like him?" Su He asked.

Changyi was silent.

As soon as Su He saw what her daughter did, she understood, "Okay, you don't have to tell me, Mom knows."

"Anyway, what mom means is that you are 18 years old now, so it's okay to fall in love with someone you like. And if someone confesses their feelings to you, just reject them if you don't like them."

Chang Yi nodded, "Yes, Mom, I know."

It’s not like she hasn’t received love letters before. There weren’t many in the first few semesters, but this semester there were a lot more. Maybe she heard that she was 18 years old and could have a relationship.

But she refused.

She has a good impression and likes Han Shuyan. After all, he is not ugly, so it is hard not to be attracted to him.

But the attraction was over, the other party didn't confess his feelings, and she just didn't want to fall in love while in college.

That's it.

There is strength in numbers. Eight people, big and small, moved together and finished the move in just a few trips.

After the move, it was time for dinner, so Su He took the children to Lao Mo Restaurant for dinner.

After dinner, Changyi and Changan took their friends back to school, while Su He, Gu Jianhua and the two little treasures cleaned up.

The difference between a tube-shaped building and an ordinary residential building is that the kitchen and bathroom are outside and are shared by several households, which is quite inconvenient.

There are ten households on each floor of a tube-shaped building.

The house that Su He was allocated was the last one, but it was also relatively clean.

But neighbors will inevitably talk to me.

"Girl, are you new here?"

An old lady saw Su He busying in and out and came over to ask, Su He smiled and said yes.

The old lady pointed to the house next door with a basket of vegetables in her hand. "My family lives next door to this one. My last name is Xu."

It turned out to be her neighbor. Su He smiled and said, "Hello, Aunt Xu."

"My name is Su He."

Aunt Xu was also very outgoing, so she started chatting with Su He, "Su He, this is the house that your company has allocated to you, right? Where do you work?"

Su He, "Auntie, I'm a teacher at Peking University."

Hearing this, the old lady gasped in surprise, "Oh my goodness, sister, you are actually a teacher at Peking University."

"I was wondering what this girl does for a living because she has a different temperament. It turns out she is a teacher at Peking University."

Su He smiled and said, "Really?"

This was not the first time she had heard this. Someone in her hometown had said this before, but she couldn't see it herself. She felt that she was no different from everyone else.

Aunt Xu, "You teachers are all well-mannered."

Su He smiled, and Aunt Xu said, "Teacher Su, from your accent, you are not from here, right? It sounds like you have a Northeastern accent, are you from the Northeast?"

"You guessed it right, Auntie. My hometown is in the eastern part of Meng Province."

The eastern part of Meng Province belongs to the northeast region of the motherland, and people here generally speak with a northeastern accent.

Su He thinks she has no accent, she just speaks Mandarin.

But the way they speak is definitely different from the local people in Beijing. The people here speak with an erhua tone.

Aunt Xu slapped her thigh and said, "I'll tell you. I can tell right away."

Su He saw that the house was almost cleaned up, so he invited Aunt Xu to come in and sit down. Aunt Xu looked in the kitchen and saw that two other families had just finished cooking and it was her turn, so she followed in.

"This is Aunt Xu from next door."

"Auntie, my husband is Gu Jianhua, and my family has three children," Su He introduced the two parties.

Gu Jianhua poured Aunt Xu a glass of water, and Aunt Xu smiled and said, "You two are both good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes."

"Jianhua is also at work, right?"

Su He, "He works at the Public Security Bureau."

Aunt Xu heard this and said, "That's great. You two can both work and be full-time employees."

Su He: “Yes.”

...........

After chatting for a while, Aunt Xu stood up and said, "Teacher Su, it's getting late. Let's chat another day. I'll go cook the dishes first."

"OK."

Aunt Xu also didn't expect that the new neighbor was so capable. The hostess was a teacher at Peking University, the husband worked at the Public Security Bureau, and most importantly, both of their children were college students.

They both went to good universities, including Peking University School of Medicine.

It’s really simple. How did they raise this child?

After cooking, Aunt Xu went home and told her old man about this.

"How did she give birth to four children? Two pairs of twins, the eldest and the second are both college students."

Don't be too envious.

They have two sons. The eldest son is in the army. His wife has two children, a boy and a girl. Their grandson joined the army, and their granddaughter took the college entrance examination but failed to get into university, so she works in the local supply and marketing cooperative.

My youngest son also has a daughter and a son. My granddaughter is 19 years old this year. She graduated from high school last year and took the college entrance examination but failed.

Let’s not talk about the grandson for now as he is still young.

Aunt Xu muttered, "Look at that kid. Not only did he get into college, but I heard he was the top scorer in the province."

"I don't know what's going on with people's brains."

Compared to Aunt Xu's excitement, Master Xu was much more calm.

"Some people have a talent for learning, and some don't. You two granddaughters don't have that."

Aunt Xu, "........"

Grandpa Xu said, "Look, her mother is a teacher at Peking University, so it must be inherited. And then look at your two sons and daughters-in-law, none of them are teachers, nor are they college students."

If all parents are like this, don't ask the same of your children.

Aunt Xu was very dissatisfied. "What conditions were there back then? It was good enough to have enough to eat. Why would we even mention studying?"

At that time, the country had not yet been established and the situation was very chaotic.

Grandpa Xu, "Then why is her mother a college student, a teacher?"

They are from Inner Mongolia, and the education conditions in Beijing are not better than those in Inner Mongolia.

Aunt Xu: "...Alright, alright, I won't talk to you about this anymore."

For dinner, the Su He family went directly to the bakery.

The shared kitchen is so troublesome. You have to queue up to cook, and it is dirty. Su He doesn't even want to go into the kitchen.

She told Gu Jianhua, "From now on, we can just go to the bakery for meals instead of making them at home."

Gu Jianhua had no objection, "Okay."
