"Mmm, this meat is delicious."
"Uncle, the meat you cook is so delicious."
Jia Jia, Bang Geng put piece of meat into his mouth one by one, talking as he ate.
"Eat more if it tastes good, and talk less while eating."
Jia Dongsheng patted Banggeng's head, then looked at Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu: "Mom, sister-in-law, the food I cooked is delicious, right?"
"Yeah, it's really delicious, even better than what Sha Zhu made before."
Jia Zhang was also not vague and ate with big mouthfuls. While eating the meat, she also compared it with the braised pork made by Sha Zhu.
"As long as it tastes good, I'll make it for you later."
Jia Dongsheng smiled and nodded, then looked at Qin Huairu and found that she ate like a little woman, taking small bites.
"Sister-in-law, let me pour you a bowl of soup. This bone soup is good for pregnant women."
"Thank you Dongsheng." Qin Huairu whispered a thank you.
Jia Zhang, who was eating on the side, looked at Qin Huairu, then at Jia Dongsheng, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and picked up the meat and started eating again.
Jia Dongsheng made braised pork with all three pounds of meat, and added a big pot of bone soup, so that everyone could eat it with their mouths full of meat and the aroma of meat.
"Mom, where are Dad and brother buried? I'm going to visit their graves."
After dinner and cleaning up, the family sat on the kang and chatted. According to Mrs. Jia Zhang's suggestion, they could not go out for a walk after eating meat, so that the meat could be digested more slowly in the stomach.
"Visiting the grave."
Jia Zhang said calmly, "It's on the mountain outside the eastern suburbs. If you want to go, wait until Saturday when we have a day off. We can go together. It's already April. Let's help weed your father's grave."
"Yeah, okay."
Jia Dongsheng nodded. Although the soul in this body had changed, since he had become Jia Dongsheng, he had to fulfill the obligations that Jia Dongsheng should fulfill.
"Sister-in-law, how long is your due date?" Jia Dongsheng looked at Qin Huairu.
"It will be soon, either this month or next month, or mid-May at the latest."
"Then sister-in-law, you should be careful recently, don't let anything unexpected happen when you are about to give birth."
"Don't worry, Dongsheng. Huairu has already given birth to two children. She has plenty of experience."
Jia Zhang smiled and said, "I just don't know if this one is a boy or a girl. It would be better if it's a boy."
"Oh, Dongsheng, speaking of this, I remember that you are already twenty years old. It's time to get married. I have to find a matchmaker to find you a partner."
When talking about finding a wife for her son, Jia Zhang's eyes began to light up. One can tell from her look that Jia Zhang is very enthusiastic.
"Mom, if I get married now, there won't be enough room for me in our house."
Jia Dongsheng smiled bitterly. Doesn’t he want to find a wife?
In later life, although he did not get married, he had several confidantes and was not a person who would not eat meat.
What's more, in this era, there is no entertainment at all, and making a baby can be said to be the most fun thing.
It can not only increase the country's productivity, but also relieve the emptiness, loneliness and coldness at night, and you can wait for rainy days to beat your children. Isn't that good?
However, the Jia family only had one kang, which could accommodate five people, including adults and children. When Qin Huairu gave birth to another child, there would be six people in the family. Even if he got married, there would be no place for him to live.
Therefore, the matter of the house is of utmost priority.
“Housing is definitely a problem.”
Jia Zhang was also a little distressed. According to her original plan, the two houses next door would be hers after she locked the doors. But after listening to what Jia Dongsheng said, she knew that was impossible.
"Mom, don't worry. I'll go to the neighborhood office tomorrow and ask. If the owner of the house isn't the neighbor who lived there before, then it should belong to the neighborhood office. I'll see if I can buy it."
"That's all we can do."
In fact, Jia Dongsheng understood that as long as the house next door was ownerless and belonged to the state, he would definitely be able to buy it as long as he understood the situation of the Jia family clearly.
After all, solving the housing problem is the job of the street office.
What's more, the Jia family did have housing difficulties.
He just can't let anyone know about the properties he owns, otherwise this matter will be difficult to handle.
After lying on the kang and thinking for a while, Jia Dongsheng closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next morning, the aroma of meat wafted from the Jia family's house again.
It’s just different from yesterday. Yesterday it was braised pork, and today it’s braised pig’s trotters.
Jia Dongsheng split the two pig's trotters in half, braised them, and then used yesterday's bone soup to cook four large bowls and one small bowl of pig's trotter noodles. After the family of five finished their meal, Jia Dongsheng went to the street office.
The street offices of this era were generally section-level units, with the director being a section chief, and there were also deputy directors and clerks.
A street office, with a dozen or twenty people, manages a large area.
There are more than 100 courtyard houses in Nanluoguxiang, all of which are managed by the street office in this area. In fact, the staff of the street office are very busy. If there were not a management position in each courtyard, they would not be able to handle it all.
"Hello comrade, who are you looking for?"
As soon as he arrived at the door of the street office, Jia Dongsheng was stopped by the security guard.
"Hello, comrade."
Jia Dongsheng said, "I'm here to consult someone. Who should I talk to?"
"Consulting?"
The security officer smiled and said, "What do you want to ask?"
"It's not a big deal. I have too many family members, but only one room. There's a vacant house next door, and I wanted to ask if it's on our street. If so, I'd like to buy it."
