Chapter 36: I'll give you a meal of bamboo shoots and fried pork (1/2)



Now that the head of the family has spoken, everyone else can only listen obediently.

Lei Jun was also confused. He couldn't figure it out. Didn't his family already have a house? Why did his sister-in-law want to buy a house?

"My dear wife, tell me why you want to buy this house."

When Si Yueyue heard Father Lei speak, she immediately sat up, looked at him and said, "Dad, I went to see that small courtyard. Seven hundred and fifty yuan is really worth it, and there is no problem at all."

"Secondly, the children in the family are gradually growing up and have to go to town for junior high school. The third child always gets up early and goes to bed late, and doesn't get enough sleep. Over time, this will have a very negative impact on his health."

"Besides, we are not worried about the third child being a boy, but what about Yaoyao in the future? It is very unsafe for a girl like her to go out before dawn and come home only after dark."

Lei Jun and Zhang Guiyin were stunned. They hadn't thought about this. After all, Yaoyao now went to school with her brother and other children in the village.

But now that I have listened to my sister-in-law, what if? Not everyone can go to high school, what if she is the only one left?

"Besides, after we buy the house, we can live in it or rent it out. It won't be a hassle. Maybe after the third child graduates from high school, he will be able to work in the town like my sister."

"Wouldn't it be more convenient for him then? Maybe he could even marry a wife from town."

Old Lady Zhao started to get itchy again: "Do you think it's so easy to get a work? Zhenzhen's work took a lot of effort, and it cost a lot of money."

"Mom, my sister and brother-in-law are both employees of the factory now, and Xiaohui and Xiaoguang are still young. Who knows if the factory will not recruit new employees in the next few years?"

"Both of us work in the factory, so we can definitely get first-hand information. Whether it's exams or money, we'll work hard to get the job."

"What if we can't get it?" Lei Jun asked.

"If you can't get it, then you can't get it. There are other ways out. Look, I'm doing fine now."

"Besides, even if I really don't live in town anymore, I can sell the house and it won't be a big loss."

After listening to his daughter-in-law's words, Father Lei sat in his seat and thought for a moment.

Then, he looked around and his eyes fell on his eldest son: "What do you think, eldest son?"

Lei Jun never thought that his father would ask him, after all, he was the one who usually took care of the important matters at home.

However, since his father asked, he must answer!

"Dad, I think we can buy this house. Just like my younger brother's wife said, the third child has to get up early and go to school late, and his energy is limited. If he encounters something on the way and cannot seek help in time, it will be very dangerous."

"Besides, the third child is a good student and will definitely be admitted to high school. High school studies are very demanding and we can't waste time on the road. With a house, it will be convenient for our children to go to school in the future..."

Father Lei knocked on the table and said, "The eldest brother and his wife are right. We have to buy this house."

"Old man..."

"The children can't just keep digging for food in the fields. If they have a house in town and a job in the future, they can settle down in the city, which is better than living in the village."

After hearing what the old man said, Mrs. Zhao had nothing to say. It was all for the children after all.

Could it be that she doesn't want the best for the children?

"Is there enough money at home?" Old Man Lei thought to himself that if it was not enough, he would go to his eldest brother's house to borrow some.

"Mom and Dad, I still have a hundred dollars in my hand. I'll go get it for you..."

"Mom and Dad, the child's father and I don't earn money every month, and we have only eighty yuan left..." Si Yueyue and Zhang Guiyin said together.

Mrs. Zhao raised her hand to interrupt them: "No, there is still some at home, you can keep the money for yourselves."

"We have saved some money over the years. We don't spend much except for the children's schooling, so we will have some money left after buying the house."

"Even if the money is out, you still have to work hard to earn it back in the future. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if someone in the family has a headache or fever and can't pay the money."

"Don't worry, mom. I'll give you all the royalties from this period."

Originally, Mrs. Zhao wanted to refuse, but when she thought of the backpack in the kitchen, she held back the words that were about to come out.

"Hey, just keep a few dollars for me when you get home, and give the rest to me."

"mother……"

"You don't have to tell me. You and the boss are there. I know exactly how much money the team gets at the end of the year."

Zhang Guiyin: "..."

Well, although she doesn't earn much, she doesn't eat for free, right?

"It's late. Go to your uncle's house to get a letter of introduction. Tomorrow you and your wife will go buy the house. Then go to the team and borrow their car to use it tomorrow morning."

Lei Jun nodded, stood up and was about to go out, but Si Yueyue called him and he stopped.

"Brother, wait..."
