Now that the factory quota has been given, of course we have to work tirelessly to make this happen.
Lin Mingyue went to the team leader's house to get a certificate and then went to the machinery factory to get the job.
Because her newspaper was rated as advanced and would soon be featured in the Capital Daily, everyone was very enthusiastic when she was handling the paperwork at the factory.
But when it came to the issue of the house, the other party looked embarrassed:
"Comrade Lin, it's not that I didn't allocate you a house on purpose. You know, many of the old workers in our machinery factory haven't found housing yet. There are simply too many people and too little housing."
"If you don't believe me, just ask any worker and they'll know what's going on in our factory."
The other party gave examples of the difficulties in building houses in the factory and said that many leaders had not been allocated houses.
This kind of thing can be found out by just asking around. Lin Mingyue knew that there was no need for the other party to fool her.
After politely saying goodbye to the other party, she rode her bicycle home, feeling very worried.
Originally, she thought that the whole family would move to the county, and her father would continue to work in the health center.
She can also help take care of the two children, and she can just take care of her own man.
But I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen now.
When An Jingzhi saw Lin Mingyue coming back from the factory with a gloomy face after completing the formalities, he thought that she was troubled by the people in the factory, so he immediately stood up from the stool.
"Being bullied?"
"How is that possible? I will break the legs of anyone who dares to bully me." Lin Mingyue said subconsciously.
An Jingzhi believed that Lin Mingyue really had this ability.
"Then what's wrong with you? You still look so miserable after completing the formalities."
Lin Mingyue told An Jingzhi about her worries.
An Jingzhi thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be just a house issue.
Even if the factory was willing to allocate him a house, he wouldn't want to live there. It was one of those tube-shaped buildings, so small that he could bump into someone when he turned around.
"There's nothing to worry about. We can pay and look around the machinery factory to see if there's anyone willing to rent a house."
Lin Mingyue looked embarrassed: "You don't know, most of the people in the machinery factory didn't have housing allocated, so the houses available for rent around the machinery factory have long been rented out."
"What's the big deal? We can just rent one farther away." An Jingzhi said nonchalantly, "Don't we have bicycles at home? Even if we rent one farther away, it's not that far by bike."
Lin Mingyue felt a little unsure and even wanted to give up the place in the machinery factory.
Lin Jiawang took the children home from get off work early in the morning.
The first thing he did was to ask Lin Mingyue about work.
When he heard the other party was worried about the house, he immediately patted his chest and assured: "It's not difficult, Dad will take care of it for you."
Anyway, the son-in-law has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, so they will discuss it later.
…
The next day, Lin Mingyue stayed at home to take care of the children.
An Jingzhi was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, and the person riding the bicycle in front was Lin Jiawang, who had negotiated with the old doctor to ask for leave.
"It's not easy to rent a house in this county. It's not like our countryside where you can renovate whatever you want. Do you know where to rent a house?" Lin Jiawang asked worriedly on the way.
"Don't worry, Dad." It's difficult to rent a house because people are reluctant to spend money. Every household is burdened with heavy expenses nowadays, and no matter how much they earn, it's not enough to spend.
Can’t rent a good house even if you are willing to spend money?
People in the county will definitely know where the houses are.
When the two arrived in the county, they ate a bowl of wontons before starting to prepare to find a house.
After determining the location of the machinery factory, the two of them asked around there.
A cigarette, a handful of melon seeds, some candies, and news continuously flowed into An Jingzhi's mind.
Lin Jiawang felt heartbroken watching from the side but couldn't say much.
His daughter really can't live without her son-in-law. Seeing that her son-in-law is not with her, even the workers in the factory don't want to work anymore.
After knocking on the doors of several houses, An Jingzhi was not very satisfied with any of them.
Either there are too many people living there and they are too diverse, or the room is too small and too cramped.
"If you ask me, the room we just mentioned is pretty good. Anyway, you can eat in the cafeteria when you come to the county, and one room is enough for you and your wife to live in." Lin Jiawang muttered behind him.
"I can't live in such a small house. It's remote and dark, and the lighting is poor."
"Who cares about the sunlight? If you want to bask in the sun, just go out and get it." He said that this is a good life. Any more and they would not suffer at all.
It's hard to find a house in this county, and I'm so picky. How can I find a house that suits my taste and is affordable?
"Dad, you can talk without any hesitation, but this house will not be yours to live in when the time comes." An Jingzhi's words left Lin Jiawang choked and speechless.
"I'm not living here, but my daughter lives here. How could I possibly harm her?" Lin Jiawang said indignantly.
An Jingzhi ignored his father-in-law's muttering behind him, quickened his pace, and headed towards the next destination.
After a morning and an afternoon, An Jingzhi finally found a suitable house.
It was a small courtyard with a separate entrance and house.
There are four houses in total with a small yard.
It was half the size of their house in the country, but compared to the others, it was the best.
Of course, the price is a bit expensive. The other houses cost two dollars or five dollars, but this house costs eight dollars a month.
But with the family's salary, it's not a problem at all.
An Jingzhi immediately decided to rent it.
If he is satisfied, Lin Mingyue will definitely be satisfied too. As for the father-in-law? Who cares what he thinks.
On the way back, Lin Jiawang rode his bicycle while saying that An Jingzhi was a spendthrift, and asked who rented a house for eight dollars a month.
In the countryside, they can't save more than ten dollars a year.
What went in An Jingzhi's ears went out.
As soon as he got home, he told Lin Mingyue the good news. Lin Mingyue really didn't care about the price. After listening to An Jingzhi's description, she was also very satisfied.
Lin Jiawang muttered to himself, "What a pair of prodigal sons." Then he walked away with his hands behind his back.
He returned to his room and rummaged through the drawers to find the money he had saved.
The son-in-law is extravagant, and the daughter seems to have no opinion of her own. She does whatever the son-in-law says. The expenses in the city are high. The daughter has just started working and only earns a junior worker's salary of more than 30 yuan. After deducting the rent of 8 yuan, she doesn't know if it is enough for the two of them to eat and drink.
His precious son-in-law has to drink milk powder every day, and he can't stop eating snacks. He doesn't even raise a child with such meticulous care!
An Jingzhi and his friend were thinking about how to decorate the house they rented in the county when they saw Lin Jiawang carrying an iron box and placing it on the table.
"There's no decent furniture in that house in the county. Use it to buy some furniture and keep the rest for food and drink. Don't be extravagant. Judging from your appearance, you probably don't have much money in your pocket." Lin Jiawang said with a straight face.
Lin Mingyue opened the iron box and found at least three hundred yuan inside.
"Dad! You're actually hiding some secret money! Every time I ask you if you have any money, you always say you have none!"
When asked for money, it was to buy snacks for his precious son-in-law. Lin Jiawang was not willing to do so and of course said he had no money!
"What do you mean by private money? That's nonsense. This is what your father and I saved up little by little when you were little."
