It snowed all night last night, and the midday sun shone on the roof of the courtyard.
The snow melted into water droplets that dripped continuously, adding some spice to the quiet afternoon.
The third uncle smelled the tofu and cabbage that his wife was frying in the pot and hummed happily.
While humming a song, he picked up the small flower shovel beside him and tended to his precious flowers and plants.
As soon as Liu Xiaojun stepped into the courtyard, he was stopped by the door god, the Third Uncle.
The third uncle glanced at him and said, "Oh, Xiaojun is back?"
"Yes, Uncle San, your flowers and plants are growing really well." Liu Xiaojun thought to himself, fortunately I didn't buy anything today, otherwise the old man might have taken something away from me.
When the third uncle heard others praising him, he immediately smiled so much that his face was full of wrinkles.
"Of course not! I'm sending this basin to our principal!"
The third uncle pointed at these pots of flowers and gave them to the principal as gifts, asking the principal to give him a raise.
After saying hello, Liu Xiaojun pushed his bicycle towards the central courtyard.
Jia Zhang got angry when she looked at Liu Xiaojun!
Liu Xiaojun's family has been eating meat every day recently, but they don't even think of sending her some. How stingy!
Jia Zhang said sourly, "Oh, are you riding your bike out again?"
"Yes, do you want to ride a bike?" Liu Xiaojun greeted him very politely.
When Jia Zhang heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Has this little bastard Liu Xiaojun changed his personality?
Do you know how to be nicer to the elderly people in her yard?
Jia Zhang put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "Okay, if you let me ride the bike, I'll agree reluctantly..."
Before he finished saying "Should", Liu Xiaojun pointed his finger at the third uncle at the door and said:
"Uncle Sanda said his bike is only 30 cents per ride, so you can go..."
Jia Zhang: “???”
Jia Zhang was immediately furious:
"Sure enough, little bastards are little bastards, they are always rotten at heart!"
Liu Xiaojun ignored what she said and walked away.
In order to catch this damn spy, I haven't slept well for several days.
I had dinner today, but I want to have a good sleep.
......
at the same time.
Jia Zhang's family.
Today the salary was paid, Jia Dongxu invited the master, the uncle, to have a drink.
There were two bottles of Erguotou and a small plate of peanuts on the table.
Qin Huairu is still cooking.
Jia Dongxu took a sip of Erguotou and grumbled, "Uncle, you said there are clearly several vacant rooms in our courtyard. It's been so long since we submitted this report, and there's still no notification of room allocation."
The old man ate a piece of peanuts and said, "Don't worry, Dongxu. Your current level of fitter is not high enough. In a few years, when your level is higher, the factory will see your contribution and will definitely apply for a house for you."
Yi Zhonghai could only say such nonsense to comfort Jia Dongxu.
Although he is the boss of the whole compound, he has no say in the allocation of rooms.
If he were in charge, the first thing he would do is to buy a large south-facing house for himself, preferably with a small courtyard. That would be so beautiful.
In the entire compound, he only liked Liu Huizhen's house.
Liu Huizhen's husband is a soldier. Soldiers have the right to priority in housing allocation. He directly chose the house with the best lighting in the entire yard. That house is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is so enviable.
If I find the opportunity, I will definitely take the house away!
Jia Zhang looked at Yi Zhonghai's expression and seemed to guess what she was thinking.
Jia Zhang's face was filled with indignation. "Old Yi, think back then, our entire compound refused to lend food to Liu Huizhen. Wasn't it because we wanted to force her to sell her house and return to the countryside? Who knew that her family would be able to pull through!"
Jia Zhang looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Huai Ru's belly is getting bigger day by day. You can't just sit there and do nothing."
Yi Zhonghai: "Aunt Jia, if you have something to say, please tell me nicely. What do you mean by 'Huang Ru's belly is getting bigger, I can't just ignore it???"
Jia Dongxu also looked at his mother sadly.
His mother, Jia Zhang, is like that. She speaks incoherently and easily causes misunderstanding.
Fortunately, there were no outsiders around. If there were, after hearing this, they would have thought they were being cheated on!
Jia Zhang finally realized what she had said and immediately explained:
"What I mean is, our Dongxu is your apprentice. He might even need to take care of you in your old age. Now he's stuck with the house issue. Can you think of a solution?"
When Yi Zhonghai heard the word "retirement", he became stiff again as if his whole body was wound up.
After a moment's silence, he said, "It's not impossible. Aren't these enemy spies causing quite a stir recently? Someone from the subdistrict office caught an enemy spy a while ago and directly gave him two apartments!"
When Jia Dongxu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Wow, two rooms.
There is only one room in the house now. Before he got married, he slept with his mother, Jia Zhang.
Now that he is married, he, his mother and his lover Qin Huairu sleep in one bed.
Whatever he wanted to do at night, he had to do it behind his mother Jia Zhang's back.
But his mother had excellent hearing and woke up immediately at the slightest noise.
Very inconvenient!
If I can catch an enemy spy, the problem of this house will be solved!
Qin Huairu walked over and was delighted when she heard their conversation.
Jia Zhang snored and grinded her teeth at night. She hadn't had a good night's sleep since she got married!
If Dongxu could really catch the enemy spy, she would never have to sleep with Jia Zhang again.
Although Yi Zhonghai said this, he immediately added:
"However, catching enemy spies is not an easy task. Many of them have guns in their hands!"
