Chapter 50: Old House, a Bolt from the Blue!
Xia Jinhua couldn't believe it was true. "Can we buy a house in the factory?"
"Of course!" Tang Xueli said affirmatively: "I asked, Uncle Zhao took me to the factory to discuss this matter, and the factory said there is no problem. From now on, the East Room and Bai Lianxin's house are our homes, and no one can take them away."
Xia Jinhua covered her face and shed tears silently.
The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally poured out.
"That's great, it's really great." She repeated this sentence with sobs.
From now on they will have their own home, a home that no one can take away.
In April of this year, the housing system reform was proposed, and housing should develop towards commercialization.
After Tang Jincai resigned, Tang Xueli kept a close eye on this matter.
She reads the newspaper and listens to the radio every day, trying not to miss any news.
Yan Jingshu published a related commentary article in the daily newspaper, which she read several times.
Tang Xueli recalled carefully and realized that in her previous life, the three-three system for employees to buy houses was implemented around the same time or two.
Simply put, it is a way to buy a house at a discount.
Zhao Changjiang took Tang Xueli to the factory for a talk. The factory promised that once the official documents came down, they could sign a contract with Tang Xueli and sell her the east room where she currently lived and Bai Lianxin's previous house for one-third of the total price.
"Mom, I'm sorry." Tang Xueli felt a little regretful, "I should have told you earlier."
She thought that the formal contract had not been signed yet, and she was afraid that her mother would worry about the house.
After all, her mother hadn't thought much about it before.
After all, she still underestimated the shamelessness of her grandmother and uncle.
"What are you talking about? What do you have to be sorry about?" Xia Jinhua wiped away her tears and hugged her daughter. "Don't say such things again in the future."
"I know." Tang Xueli whispered, "The factory asked me to keep the matter of buying a house a secret for the time being. Don't tell anyone else."
"Yeah, I won't say." Xia Jinhua was the most tight-lipped.
Before going to bed, Tang Shuangshuang also learned this secret, and she was so excited that she twisted into a knot on the bed.
Tang Xueli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are weaving a spider web!"
Tang Shuangshuang covered her mouth, trembling with joy, "Grandma and uncle must be so mad, just now I saw my cousin happily planning to renovate her room!"
Tang Xueli lay on her side, looking out the window.
The moon is bright tonight and you can see the shadows of the branches swaying gently against the night sky.
She smiled faintly.
Only after living her life again did she understand that there is a prerequisite for evil to be punished, which is that good people must be sober, smart, work hard and think.
Blindly charging towards the enemy will only result in a bloody head.
Simple kindness and compassion do not bring power.
Only by becoming strong can we bring hope.
Tang Xueli should stop being a weak rabbit or a lamb to be slaughtered.
She wants to be a kind lion and a compassionate cheetah.
But she has the final say on who to be kind and merciful to.
She has the final say on who to punish and who to torture.
She certainly doesn't want to control or dominate anyone. She just wants to love the people she should love and take control of her own life.
Tang Limei had no concentration in class and kept revising the sketch of her room design. As soon as she got home, she asked her father to find someone to make a new desk.
She emphasized that it must be large, grand, and made of good wood.
Jia Zhenzhen was also a little excited. When she heard from a colleague that someone was selling a second-hand dressing table, she thought the item was good and not too expensive, so she bought it.
Tang Limei took her parents out and bought new clothes racks and two chairs with backrests.
A lot of the gift certificates that our family had saved were used up.
Now the west room is so full that people have to walk in the gap, and they are afraid of hitting their legs when they get up at night to find a urinal.
"Sister-in-law, how are you guys packing? Do you need my help?" Tang Jinhong wanted them to move out quickly to make room for him, so he couldn't help but ask Xia Jinhua.
Xia Jinhua smiled faintly and said, "No need for help."
"Have you found a house? Where is it? Is it far from here?"
Tang Jinhong looked towards the east room and felt a little strange.
Why does it feel like there is no change inside?
"Don't be in a hurry." Xia Jinhua turned around and left without saying anything more.
Tang Jinhong said to her from behind: "Sister-in-law, you still need to prepare early!"
Jia Zhenzhen glanced towards the east room and muttered, "Are they going to stay here and not leave?"
Tang Jinhong frowned, he had the same feeling.
While eating, Old Lady Tang snorted and said, "I'm right, aren't I? They will definitely blame it. Boss, please urge the factory to send someone to take back the house."
Tang Jinhong nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the factory tomorrow to talk about it."
At noon the next day, the large desk that Tang Jinhong had custom-made for his daughter was moved into the yard.
The carpenter laughed and said, "I was urged to do this job. I worked all night to finish it."
There was no place to put it in the room, so I temporarily put it at the door of the west room.
He told Mrs. Tang who was receiving the goods: "Move it indoors as soon as possible. It won't stand getting wet in the rain."
Mrs. Tang nodded and said, "I understand."
Seeing that everyone in his family was buying things, Mr. Tang also felt itchy, so he stole his wife's money and bought a bunch of fishing rods from somewhere.
The old lady was furious, "Why did you buy so many fishing rods?!"
"Fishing!" the old man answered as a matter of course.
"Where are you going to fish? Do you know how to fish?" The old lady scolded, "Aren't you afraid of drowning yourself?"
Old Man Tang said seriously: "Fishing in winter, fishing in winter, you won't drown."
Old Mrs. Tang: “…”
What a sin!
This house, inside and outside, is even messier than a warehouse.
When will the East Room be vacated?
Finally, I waited until my eldest son got off work and quickly pulled him into the house.
Tang Jinhong's face didn't look good. "The factory said that the east room doesn't need to be taken back."
"Why?" Old Mrs. Tang didn't understand.
"I asked, but they didn't tell me why. They just said they wouldn't take it and told us not to worry."
Tang Jinhong couldn't figure it out either.
"What are we worried about!" Old Mrs. Tang felt like she was on fire, burning in her heart.
Old Mrs. Tang: "Go ask again, there must be an explanation."
Two days later, Tang Jinhong finally figured it out. It was Zhao Changjiang who revealed the information to him.
"The factory sold the East Room to them. Not only the East Room, but also the room that Bai Lianxin lived in before."
Jia Zhenzhen was stunned. "The factory is selling houses?"
"Nonsense!" Old Mrs. Tang slammed the table and said, "How can this be possible? The houses belong to the factory and are public property. How can they be sold?"
"It is said that there is a new policy." Tang Jinhong repeated what Zhao Changjiang said.
Tang Limei said innocently: "Then can't we buy it?"
Tang Jinhong shook his head: "Xue Li has already discussed it with the factory. The factory has already written a letter of consent. All that's left is to sign a formal contract. There's no way she can jump the queue. Besides, we don't have the money."
The bad news came suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, and everyone in the west room was dumbfounded.
At this time, thunder rumbled, dark clouds covered the city, and heavy rain began to fall accompanied by lightning.
"Ah!!" Tang Limei screamed and rushed out, "My big desk!"
