Chapter 24: Housing Issues



night.

Hu Xiaoman is busy recording videos in his space. He has to post them regardless of whether anyone watches them or not.

She changed her clothes, put on some light makeup, and started tasting the food.

I can’t always try food, so now I record videos while having dinner and drink some milk tea or beverages.

She would hang these foods and drinks in the cart.

Anyone who wants to buy it can go and take a picture. It’s better than not putting it up at all.

As soon as he posted the video, Hu Xiaoman saw the comments.

Be careful on the road: the beauty is so beautiful, and she also has an appetite for food. Order has been placed!

Seeing the last three words, she nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that this person just wants to attract my attention? I don’t know whether he placed an order or not.

After checking the backend, she found that someone had indeed placed an order for the items she had just sent, including an order for ten boxes of coconut milk.

My goodness, is this guy a pig? He can drink so much.

Even if you drink it as water, it will take a while. Why buy so much?

Hu Xiaoman could only sigh that people with money can do whatever they want.

I took a look at the space and found that ten boxes of coconut milk were missing.

She no longer cared about these things and went to take a shower and remove her makeup.

The things in the space are limited, so the things hung on the car are also rationed, and once they are sold out, they are gone.

Being a food anchor is not a long-term solution, so she has to think of other things.

But the most urgent issue now is the housing issue, which can be rented or bought.

Two days later, the factory notified her of her test results, which ranked her in the top five.

Director Zhang was very happy. After all, he was the one who recommended the student, and it was not in vain that he could get a good result.

"Hu Xiaoman, are you going to night school?"

If I get into high school and don’t go to school, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?

Hu Xiaoman nodded when he heard this. "Yes, Director Zhang, I was just about to tell you about this. I may not be able to work overtime in the future."

This was also what she thought. After all, working overtime was not a necessary condition for promotion. In her opinion, improving one's knowledge was the most important thing.

Lower-level workers don’t care too much about academic qualifications, but if you want to move up, then academic qualifications will have to be considered.

Director Zhang was not surprised. "I know. Study hard so that you can contribute to the factory in the future."

After leaving the office, Hu Xiaoman felt relieved. At least one thing was solved now.

Next up is buying a house!

But she only had a few dollars in savings, and she spent a lot of money on making clothes last time.

The clothes were taken back a long time ago. They were washed last night and were not dry yet.

Money is a problem, buying a house is also a problem. She doesn't know such people, so it's difficult.

Hu Xiaoman sighed. It seemed that she had a lot to do!

After work in the afternoon, she did not rush home, but went to the black market she had been to before.

There are quite a few people here, most of them come for food.

Currently, the grain store is only open on the 1st, and sometimes it closes before you have time to buy anything.

As a result, some people will not be able to buy food, and they will have to think about buying something else.

Hu Xiaoman changed his clothes and wrapped himself up so that no one could tell he was there.

But it's too hot. The weather in July is already like a steam room, especially under the sun.

She brought food with her and then asked only one person to sell her ten kilograms of rice at a time.

This way the risk is less, and if the two people are careful in the transaction, they won't be discovered.

Hu Xiaoman was afraid that if she displayed it carelessly, it would cause a scramble. What would she do then?

You know, food is more important than anything else now!

Be careful and you will never be stranded, so take it slow.

The price of rice on the black market has skyrocketed to 80 cents per pound, while pork in the butcher shop only costs 60 cents per pound.

Fine rice like Hu Xiaoman's is one yuan per pound, no coupons are required, and no one has ever bargained for it.

She knew that the price could be raised by another 10 or 20 cents per pound, but given the current situation, she couldn't raise the price.

This price is not low, and she still feels bad about making money out of hardship.

So, this price is acceptable to everyone, and she doesn't need it, so it's fine like this.

We sold almost 200 kilograms and it was already dark.

Hu Xiaoman glanced at the time. It was already half past seven. Carrying the empty bag, she quickly left the black market.

We got home late today and no one had lit the lights.

She didn't want to eat, so she didn't go to the old couple's room.

After locking the door, Hu Xiaoman entered the space.

She put all the money on the table and counted it carefully. It was two hundred and five yuan in total.

She just sold a bright red silk scarf for five yuan. She bought it at the mall for over two hundred yuan and was going to use it for live streaming.

I didn't expect it to be sold for five dollars...

Hu Xiaoman sighed. She had the money, but she didn't know how much the house was worth now, and no one would sell it to her.

After thinking about it, she decided to go out for a walk.

She would never consider living nearby. Being neighbors with Lao Hu's family would probably cause a lot of trouble in the future.

So, be sure to buy a house farther away!

Thinking of this, Hu Xiaoman took advantage of the weekend to take a break from working in shifts with others and went out early in the morning.

Zhang Chunxia saw her about to leave and quickly chased after her. "Xiaoman, come back early this afternoon!"

Hu Xiaoman glanced at her and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Since I'm going there to buy a house, who knows if I'll find the right one? What if I end up wasting time?

If she has nothing to do, she will walk around more.

"If I told you to come back early, just come back early. Why are you asking so many questions?" Why didn't Zhang Chunxia say anything and just asked her to go home early.

Hu Xiaoman said nothing and turned and left.

"Hey? Kid, did you listen to me?" Zhang Chunxia chased out uselessly, rolled her eyes at the door and went back into the house.

As soon as Hu Xiaoman walked out of the door, he saw Xu Hongmei from next door coming out, followed by Liang Jie.

When the two men saw her, their expressions were different, and it seemed that they had reconciled as before.

Liang Jie looked at her with some resentment, as if Hu Xiaoman had let him down.

"Oh, Comrade Hu Xiaoman has been living well recently. She's even wearing new clothes." Xu Hongmei looked at her new clothes and felt a little jealous.

People in the city don’t make a new set of clothes every month, and new clothes are also made of different materials.

Generally, most people buy defective products. Good fabrics are expensive, and there are several people in a family, so they have to discuss who will make the clothes.

After all, if you have money, you also need cloth coupons. The cloth coupons that several people have in a month are not enough to make a set of clothes.

For a family of five or six, it is considered good if each person can have a new piece of clothing a year.

Like Xu Hongmei, she can only make two new clothes a year, which is one set.

Hu Xiaoman laughed when he heard that. "Why, do I have to tell you when I wear new clothes? Where do you think you are from?"

"You!" Xu Hongmei pointed at her, her face filled with anger. "Oh, I wonder how long you can keep going. I heard your sister-in-law is trying to introduce you to someone. Don't worry, even though we don't have a good relationship, I will still give you a gift."

She looked a little gloating, as if Hu Xiaoman getting married would be like going to hell.
