She went there at a coincidence that the branch secretary had just arrived at the brigade headquarters and opened the room that their brigade used as an office.
"Wen Wan, why are you here? Has something happened again?" asked the branch secretary Liang Wen with a frown.
He thought Wen Wan came because the old couple from the Liang family were causing trouble again.
In the past two days, the entire brigade has been gossiping privately about what happened that day when the police came. Some people even ran directly to his house to ask what happened that day.
This was not a matter of face after all. If it got out, it would be embarrassing for the old couple of the Liang family and their team as well, so Liang Wen didn't say much.
But if the old couple did something again, he was afraid he would not cover up for them anymore.
Wen Wan quickly waved her hand to explain when she heard this.
"No, Uncle Wen, I came here today to talk to you about something else."
Seeing that he was puzzled, Wen Wan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Have you ever thought about moving the brigade office to another location?"
Liang Wen was stunned.
Although he didn't understand why Wen Wan asked this, he answered honestly, "Of course I've thought about it, but there's no suitable place right now, so I can only stay here for now."
As for the reason why I haven’t changed it, it’s because I don’t have any free room now.
Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief and told him her thoughts with a smile.
"To be honest, Uncle Wen, we can't live in the two brick houses Liang Jinheng and I took back. Since they're empty anyway, I wanted to ask if you would like to rent them as a brigade office."
"Of course, since this is the brigade's office, we, as brigade members, wouldn't ask for a high rent just to make money. How about one dollar a month?"
Renting two brick houses this big for one dollar a month can be considered a great deal!
Wen Wan hadn't originally planned to make money from this, but she also knew that Liang Wen and the others would never be able to occupy their house for nothing.
If she offered it for free, they would not agree.
One yuan is a personal request, but others will not accuse the team of being cheap and bullying the members.
This incident really shocked Liang Wen. It took him a while to react, and then he repeated it uncertainly.
"Have you really decided to rent that brick house to the brigade for one dollar?"
Wen Wan nodded affirmatively and corrected him.
"It's not just one room, it's two rooms together."
"Does Jinheng know about this?"
Wen Wan smiled and said, "Of course he knows. I told him about this and he said it's no problem."
When the couple both said this, Liang Wen felt excited and nervous, as if a hot commodity had fallen from the sky. It seemed unreal no matter how he looked at it.
Although he was tempted, he couldn't make the final decision alone, so he said, "Wait a while until they all arrive and I'll ask them. If everyone has no problem with it, I'll come back to discuss this with you in detail. What do you think?"
Wen Wan of course agreed.
She didn't think that the matter could be finalized with just a few words.
After delivering the message, she turned around and went home, waiting for Liang Wen and other cadres from the brigade to come and discuss the details.
She was not worried that they would not agree. After all, such a good thing was hard to come by even with a lantern, and it was also very urgent.
After returning home, Wen Wan took a look at the two brick houses. The doors were still closed. It seemed that Old Man Liang and Liang Hongling inside were reluctant to come out.
Today was actually the day she had agreed upon the day before yesterday to "give them a day to clean up." They had been busy until late last night, so logically speaking, they should have almost finished cleaning up everything.
But he didn't want to come out after cleaning up. Didn't he want to take advantage of the last chance to disgust her?
Wen Wan snorted coldly, thinking that they would have no choice but to come out soon.
Liang Jinheng was also packing things in the house, packing the things he would take to the county town in two days.
Although Wen Wan had not actually told him where she would be next, Liang Jinheng had already unilaterally announced that Wen Wan would go to the county town with him.
After all, she asked me to work hard to clean the family quarters, so she must have said that so that we could live together.
"Dad, why are you packing our clothes?" Big Boy looked at him in confusion.
Liang Jinheng explained: "We are going to stay in the county town in two days. What will you wear if we don't bring any clothes?"
"Go to the county town?!" Da Wa was stunned for a moment, but soon remembered that Wen Wan had asked him before whether he wanted to live in the county town or in the town, and he jumped up happily.
"Are we really moving to the county town? Really?"
"I heard from Mom that the county town is so big, even bigger than the town! Dad, will we live in a big house in the future?"
His imagination of the county town was too poor. He could only think that the county town was big, so their house might also be bigger.
Liang Jinheng thought of the family quarters he had hurriedly visited before. That house was indeed much bigger than the room they lived in now, so he nodded affirmatively.
"Of course, we'll be able to live in a big house soon!"
"Yeah!" The eldest child jumped up happily, and pulled the second girl who hadn't reacted next to him to jump together.
"Erniu, we can live in a big house in the future!"
Erniu was forced to spin in circles with her brother. Wen Wan came in and saw this and quickly called out, "Liang Ruihang! Watch out for your sister's hands!"
Children don't know how to take things seriously. The eldest was so busy having fun that he pulled the second girl's little arms and legs and caused her to fall.
Only then did Da Wa quickly let go of his sister's hand and looked at Wen Wan with a guilty look on his face.
Seeing that she didn't say anything else, I felt relieved. The crisis was over, and I quickly told my mother the good news.
"Mom, we're going to live in a big house in the county town. Dad said so!"
Seeing the joy on his face that he couldn't hide, Wen Wan couldn't help but ask, "Do you really want to go to the county town?"
The eldest child nodded vigorously, not noticing his mother's confusion at all.
"Of course! I haven't lived in a big house in the city yet! Little Stone certainly hasn't lived there either! Humph, in that case I'll live there before him. I'm much better than him!"
Big Brother was still thinking about how Little Stone had always brought things to show off in front of him.
Wen Wan felt helpless upon seeing this, but at the same time, she also found it difficult to make a decision.
Even though she had a premonition that the two children would look forward to living in the county town, she was still a little hesitant when she actually heard it.
She doesn't worry about other problems; the only thing she worries about is...
Will she really be able to find a job after going to the county town?
The county town was a truly unfamiliar area for her. She had never even been there once. If she wanted to find a job there, she would be completely blind.
But in the town, at least she had studied there for a few years, and there were Dong Xiuping and Teacher Dong, so she had someone she could talk to.
She actually knew that she wanted to stay in her comfort zone, which was a manifestation of timidity and cowardice.
But even though I knew clearly that this was not good, it was still difficult to take that step and go to a completely unfamiliar county.
But the child is obviously looking forward to going to the county town...
Wen Wan frowned and thought on the spot, and Liang Jinheng also noticed that something was wrong with her.
Otherwise, how could he have pursued Wen Wan back then? In addition to relying on constant writing letters, another point is that he also gave Wen Wan a lot of useful advice on some major issues.
It was this point that made Wen Wan feel that he was not as persistent as he appeared to be.
"What's wrong, Wanwan?" Liang Jinheng walked over and looked at Wen Wan worriedly.
He felt that Wen Wan seemed to be struggling with something and couldn't make a decision.
Wen Wan came to her senses and after hesitating for a while, she decided to say it out loud.
"I haven't decided yet whether I want to go to the county with you."
Liang Jinheng was stunned and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
Finally, he suddenly thought of what Wen Wan had promised Dong Xiuping that day.
"Are you worried about the substitute teacher? Or are you actually worried about not being able to find a suitable job after going to the county?"
Wen Wan sighed. As expected, Liang Jinheng's intuition was sometimes surprisingly accurate.
She looked at him and asked seriously, "Do you think I can find a suitable job after I go to the county town?"
Since she asked this, it was obvious that she didn't intend to just stay at home and take care of the two children and be a laid-back mother.
So Liang Jinheng wisely didn't ask her why she wanted to go to work. He thought about it and nodded with certainty.
"Of course, you have a high school diploma. The county is much larger than the town, so there must be more jobs that need talent."
He also heard that large factories like the steel plant where he was about to work would have a department specifically responsible for arranging jobs for family members, and that Wen Wan would definitely be given a job at that time.
Even though things may not be very good in the beginning, but with him around and Wen Wan's own abilities, things will definitely get better.
He mentioned this to Wen Wan, and only then did Wen Wan realize that large factories not only provide good benefits to workers, but also provide good treatment to their families.
She had never heard of this before, but Liang Jinheng would definitely not lie to her about this, so Wen Wan suddenly became happy.
As long as you can find a job, you don't have to worry about anything.
but.
"I still want to give Teacher Dong a try."
Even if she didn't plan to be a substitute teacher there in the end, people helped provide information, and Wen Wan herself was not sure how well she had mastered the knowledge points.
Even if you are not a teacher, it is definitely better to master more knowledge and it is more solid.
So in the end Wen Wan decided to go to town tomorrow anyway. She had to take the interview exam no matter what.
Thinking of this, she hurried to read the book.
She was so busy in the past two days that she had no time to read, so she decided to bury herself in reading today.
Seeing Wen Wan reviewing her books, Liang Jinheng took the two children to slow down their movements and reminded them: "Mom is studying now, don't disturb her."
The two children nodded obediently and went to play quietly on the side.
It was almost noon when Liang Wen came with Liang Dashan.
Wen Wan had just finished reading some knowledge and wanted to move around.
When I saw the two of them coming, I knew they must be here to talk about renting a house.
As expected, the first thing Liang Dashan said was, "Wen Wan, Jin Heng, are you two really sure you want to rent this house to us? Are you kidding?"
Liang Jinheng said seriously: "Uncle Dashan, this is true. My wife and I have made up our minds."
"We are members of the brigade. The brigade has helped us so much in the past. Now that the brigade is in trouble, of course we have to lend a hand and help the brigade solve its problems."
The words sounded so nice that Wen Wan, who was standing beside him, couldn't bear to watch.
However, Liang Wen and Liang Dashan were moved by what they heard.
Liang Dashan even patted Liang Jinheng on the shoulder and said excitedly: "You are really capable and kind-hearted!"
Liang Jinheng calmly accepted the praise from the team leader and even praised Wen Wan without changing his expression.
"It was Wen Wan who brought this up. She's the one with the best intentions."
Wen Wan: “….”
She did that just because she didn't want Liang Hongling and the others to get any advantage, okay?
But when she met the approving looks of Liang Dashan and Liang Wen, Wen Wan could only force herself to smile awkwardly.
"Okay, we've just discussed this. If you're willing to rent this room, we'll take it. But one dollar a month is too much of a loss. Let's just charge two dollars a month for both rooms. Otherwise, not only us, but the rest of the team will probably have something to say if they find out."
Two dollars a month is not difficult for their team to squeeze out, and besides, these two houses are indeed worth that much.
They have decided to use one room as an office and the other to store collective farm tools, fertilizers, grain and other items.
These are the most valuable things in the team, and no loss is allowed.
The office was so shabby before that they had to work in it. All the stuff was taken home by several cadres, and each of them had to keep some at home. The cadres' families were under great pressure, and to some extent, it hindered their lives.
But now there is an extra large room, which is just enough to store those things and can be locked, so there is no need for several cadres to take those things home and squeeze them in.
Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng agreed when they saw that they couldn't refuse.
"Can we go and take a look at that house now?" Liang Dashan couldn't help but speak.
He wanted to allocate the things now and find someone to move them over later.
He carried shovels, hoes and other things from the brigade back home all day long. His wife almost got fed up with him and said there was no place left in the house for him to step on.
Now that the things have been moved here, his wife won’t be able to say anything.
Wenwan smiled meaningfully.
"Of course they can see it, but my parents-in-law seem reluctant to leave. I'm afraid they have to wait for someone to invite them out personally."
Liang Dashan and Liang Wen frowned.
They were present when Wen Wan and her family separated the day before yesterday, so they naturally knew that Wen Wan had asked for one day to pack up and move out.
In addition, Liang Jinbu's house was right next door, so moving things was quick. The only time-consuming part was packing.
They just don’t believe that they can’t clean up all the things in their room in one day!
If this was just a family affair of the Liang family, they would not be able to intervene or say anything more.
But now this concerns whether their brigade headquarters can move in as soon as possible.
So Liang Dashan and Liang Wen looked at each other, turned around and walked towards the main house of Old Man Liang and Miao Chunhong.
Old man Liang in the house was trying to persuade Miao Chunhong: "Alright, stop making trouble and get out of here quickly. It will be so embarrassing if Wen Wan and the others come knocking on the door!"
Miao Chunhong sat on the bed, and she didn't move even though there was only a bed frame left on the bed.
"I won't go out, and she has the guts to chase me away!"
Thinking that the house she had lived in for several years would soon become someone else's, her heart felt like it was being scratched and it ached!
So even though the house had been given away, she didn't want Wen Wan to get it so easily.
She just wanted to cause trouble for Wen Wan and disgust her!
