Lian Yi nodded after hearing this, and without disturbing the three children, she let her second son follow her into the inner room, and then asked:
"Kawako, what's the matter?"
"Mom, there's been talk in the company these days that they're going to build a new building."
Song Qingchuan started talking, and Lianyi understood and followed his words:
"But there are too many people and too little housing. You have only been in the company for five years and do not meet the requirements for applying for housing."
"Yes, but the clerk in charge of logistics gave me a tip that they were going to build a cadre building with five floors and two units, some large and some small. Only cadres in the unit can apply for it, but the leaders of the unit also have a number, so there will be a few houses left, which will be for employees, but it will cost money."
Song Qingchuan lowered his voice and told the gossip.
“Is the information accurate?”
"That's right. The person who told me the news was my junior high school classmate. We have a very close relationship. He told me to prepare early. If I want a house, I should prepare the money now."
Song Dachuan scratched his head and said.
"So what do you mean? You want to buy it?"
"Mom, I think there will be more and more houses in the future, but I don't know when I will be eligible to apply. Juanzi's unit is a low-income government agency, so I don't think they will distribute houses in the short term, so I don't want to miss this opportunity.
Of course, don’t worry, Mom. Juanzi and I have saved some money, but we’re afraid that it won’t be enough by then, so we want to borrow some from you.
After the house is divided, I will try to persuade my mother-in-law to help take care of the children, so you can relax a little and focus on taking care of Dabao and Qinghai.
Now Qingmei is a grown-up girl, and she needs to have her own room. I know you are going to leave your room to Dabao, so it is not appropriate for Qingmei to live there now."
After listening to Song Qingchuan's words, Lianyi knew that her son had thought it over carefully. She also said before that if there was an emergency at home, she would use the money in the bank, but she didn't expect to lend it to her second son so soon.
I guess the Song family was in chaos at this time in his previous life. The eldest brother and mother were gone, so Song Qingchuan naturally became the eldest. He had a younger sister and a younger brother, as well as a newborn baby. Even if he had some money saved, he probably wouldn't think of buying a house.
But now that she was here, having torn a piece of flesh from the Chen family that caused the accident, and with money to back it up, Song Qingchuan didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"Your idea is good. Mom has no objection, and I can lend you the money. But there is no rush for this matter now. After all, the matter of building a house has not been officially announced, and there is no conclusion about the cadres' building.
When the house is built and the cadre building is ready for sale, you can take action. But during this period, you should be more alert and listen to the news circulating in the unit. There is always one piece of news that is true. "
"Mom is right. Don't worry. I know what's going on. I won't make it public until it works."
"Take advantage of your opportunity to buy a house and spend some money to avoid people coming to borrow money. It's not appropriate to borrow or not to borrow. Now is the mourning period, and people who are particular will naturally not come to visit. Wait until your eldest brother's mourning period is over and see."
Lianyi shook her head helplessly.
"Hey! It's all because of poverty. Our family is relatively well off. At least we have jobs left for us by our father. There are many families in this alley who don't have enough food to eat."
Song Qingchuan also shook his head and sighed.
"You're right. The machinery factory is the largest unit in town, and your father is responsible for rescuing public finances, so our family is still doing OK. But we also need to prepare for a rainy day. Is your work in the maintenance team going well?"
Lianyi changed the subject and asked about her son's work.
"Mom, your son will definitely have no problem learning technology. He has basically completed his apprenticeship now."
Song Qingchuan does have some confidence in this.
"Have you learned all your master's skills?"
"About 80%!"
"You are not a true apprentice now. You have to learn 100% to be considered a true apprentice."
Lianyi rolled her eyes at Song Qingchuan, but she could understand. After all, this was an era where people taught their apprentices to starve to death.
Therefore, many masters like to keep some skills among their apprentices, and ask their apprentices to respect them. When they retire, they will choose the one they like most among their apprentices and teach him their last skills.
"Mom, I know. I am very filial to my master on weekdays. It's just that he hasn't retired yet, so he is holding back."
"If he doesn't teach you, can't you learn it yourself? Take Juanzi to the city this weekend and see if you can buy two books on mechanical maintenance. Then come back and learn it yourself.
Let Juanzi take a break. You've been taking care of the kids all day and can't even leave the courtyard. You don't even care about your wife."
Ripple said, glaring at her son.
"Hey! Mom is right. I'll listen to you."
Song Qingchuan scratched the back of his head, agreed with a silly smile, and ran out of the house in two steps to find his wife.
Seeing her husband come in with a happy face, Li Juan said angrily:
"You're already a father, why are you still so rough? What good news is there?"
"I just talked to mom about buying a house. Mom didn't object. She also said that if we don't have enough money, she would lend us some. She also asked me to take you to the city to relax this weekend."
Song Qingchuan said with a smile.
"Did Mom really say that?"
Li Juan was puzzled. After all, in her impression, her mother-in-law was very aggressive and was very tight with money.
"How could it be false? I guess it's because of my eldest brother that Mom realized how important we are. Now that my eldest brother is gone, the responsibility of taking care of him in his old age falls on us."
Song Qingchuan said somewhat dejectedly that in the past he had his elder brother in front of him to protect him from the wind and rain, and he only had to take care of his own small family. Now that his elder brother is gone, he naturally has to shoulder his own responsibilities.
"Look at what you said. Even if my eldest brother was still here, you would still have to pay for Mom's retirement when she got old. It's no different now. It's just that there's one less person to take care of Mom in her old age."
Li Juan was quite open-minded. At least her mother-in-law had money and didn't want to exploit her children. After her eldest brother got into trouble, except for two people missing, everything else in the family remained the same. This alone showed that her mother-in-law was a successful person.
"My wife is right. This time, Mom specifically asked me to take you out to relax so that you don't have to stay around the kids all the time."
"That's great. I haven't been out since I came back from confinement."
Li Juan had a smile on her face. Although her child was very well-behaved and her mother-in-law did not get angry with her for giving birth to a daughter, she still felt suffocated and was happy to be able to go out for a walk.
"Okay, then I'll tell Master that we don't need to wait until the weekend to rest. Can we do it the day after tomorrow?"
"Okay! I'll save some milk for our Beibei these two days, so that the little girl won't be hungry."
"Can you do it?"
"It's cold in the morning and evening now, so just put it in the well and let it freeze."
The couple were in a good mood. After finishing his homework, Song Qinghai went to Lianyi's room and talked about what happened at school today.
