Chapter 338 Buying a house is urgent
After learning the news, Mingzhu invited the three families to have dinner together.
Auntie's eyes were red all night, and she kept looking at Mingzhu, and the reluctance in her eyes was about to overflow.
The situation of the others was not much better than that of Auntie, especially Su Guimei. After her life was rewritten by Mingzhu, she was really dependent on Mingzhu.
Wang Cuiju even joked that Su Guimei would rather leave Qinling than leave Mingzhu.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, Mingzhu used water instead of wine to toast everyone.
"Everyone, Jiang Duo and I are going to live a good life, not to die. You can come to see me anytime if you want to see me. Let's not be too sad, okay?"
Su Guimei said a few times, "What do you mean by die? Zhuzhu, don't say unlucky words. We don't like to hear them."
Mingzhu smiled softly, "Okay, I won't talk about this. I'll talk about something serious. Sister-in-law, sister, after Jiang Duo and I leave, my aunt will have no relatives here. I have to trouble you two families to help me take care of her and don't let the three of them suffer any grievances."
Several people nodded at the same time and promised that she didn't have to worry. Mingzhu's aunt was their aunt, and they would definitely take good care of her.
After settling her aunt, Mingzhu arranged her future career with Wang Cuiju and Su Guimei.
They agreed that every other week, Mingzhu would seal the raw materials in barrels, and ship them to Nancheng via the train every Friday morning. Wang Cuiju would take Song Ke to the train station to pick them up and then go back to pack them.
Wang Cuiju also agreed that every Friday afternoon, she and Song Ke would first go to the post office to remit the money for the week to Mingzhu, and then go to get the raw materials.
There was only one bank in the country at that time, and the remittance was not done in the later way, but through the post office.
Wang Cuiju gave the money to the post office in Nanshi, and the post office in Nanshi told the post office in Beijing to give the money to Mingzhu via telegram.
It was a bit troublesome, but there was no better way.
After the two parties agreed, another worry was resolved.
The next day, Mingzhu put the two turns and one ring into the space, and sent the bedding, dishes, furniture and other things to her aunt.
The two of them set off with two small bags. Qiao Bin, on the other hand, had lived here for two years, and he had three bags of large and small things. In the end, Jiang Duo and he carried them to the station together.
Wang Cuiju and the others had no work to do today, so they all came to see them off, even Zheng Min came.
The atmosphere of parting was so strong that it made people's eyes sore.
After hugging each other on the platform, everyone watched Mingzhu board the train that was going away.
Like last time, in the evening, the train entered the platform and the three got off together.
Qiao Bin hadn't been home for a long time. Jiang Duo approved three days of leave for him to go home to visit his relatives. Qiao Bin went home excitedly.
Jiang Duo and Mingzhu took the bus back to the courtyard.
When they entered the house, they happened to meet several children from the Li family and Zhuangzhuang from the Niu family playing under the gatehouse.
As soon as she saw Mingzhu, the oldest girl in the Li family immediately stood up and ran home, shouting, "Mom, the meat-exchanging girl next door is back." As
soon as she ran, her brothers and sisters followed her home.
Mingzhu: ...
Zhuangzhuang stood up and looked at Mingzhu obediently: "Hello, uncle and aunt."
Mingzhu looked at Zhuangzhuang, who was still as thin as a monkey, smiled and touched his head, took out a few pieces of candy from her pocket and handed them to him: "Zhuangzhuang, hello, long time no see."
Zhuangzhuang looked at the candy, swallowed his saliva, but did not dare to take it directly, but looked in the direction of his own door.
Mingzhu stuffed the candy into his hand, because her belly was already very big, she was too lazy to bend over: "Auntie gave it to me, your mother won't say anything, go home and eat it, we are going home too." Zhuangzhuang
took the candy and went home happily.
Jiang Duo went to unlock the door and helped Mingzhu into the house.
She must be exhausted after sitting on the train all day.
He helped Mingzhu directly into the bedroom.
The two of them obviously didn't tell Fang Shuyu when they would be back, but the house was clean and tidy. Obviously, Fang Shuyu often came here to clean up.
It was still a bit cold in Beijing in the third month of the lunar calendar, and Mingzhu was afraid of the cold. After Jiang Duo helped Mingzhu to sit down on the bed, he went to light the stove to boil water.
Mingzhu dragged her waist and lay lazily on the bed. It was really tiring to sit on the train all day in this era.
She was even more tired with a ball tied to her belly. She
was only five months pregnant, but her belly was already a bit like the size of others' seven or eight months pregnant.
But although she lay down, her mouth was not idle: "Husband, these days, people will die if they compare themselves with others, and goods will be thrown away if they are compared with others. They are all children. Look at how polite the sister-in-law of the Niu family has taught Xiao Zhuangzhuang, and then look at these people in the west room... Tsk tsk, if our child is so rude in the future, you mustn't stand in my way when I beat him."
Jiang Duo heard this and said with determination: "We will not raise such children."
"That's not necessarily true. I will definitely discipline the child strictly, but what if we give birth to a daughter-in-law and you are reluctant to teach her, and she gets used to it?"
Jiang Duo pursed his lips: "I don't get used to the child, I only get used to you. If the child is rude, you don't have to cut it. It's tiring, I'll do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Mingzhu's laughter from the room: "Jiang Duo, your child kicked me. He must have heard you say you wanted to cut him, and your child is unhappy. Baby, it's not me who said I wanted to cut you. Your father said that I am a good mother, and we are good."
Jiang Duo also laughed. Such an unprincipled daughter-in-law... What can I do? Just spoil her yourself.
The two of them didn't cook dinner in the evening. Jiang Duo went directly to the entrance of the alley to buy buns.
The next morning, Jiang Duo reported to the unit. Mingzhu slept until noon and ate the buns that Jiang Duo left in the pot for her.
After dinner, she sat on the porch outside the living room with a big belly to bask in the sun. Looking at the empty space around the yard, she felt itchy and wanted to plant something.
But if she planted it now, she would have to plan all over again after buying the two rooms and demolishing the yard wall. It would be a waste. After
thinking about it, she decided to buy a house.
Just as she was thinking about how to start implementing her plan, there was a knock on the door.
Mingzhu dragged her waist, stood up and walked to the door. When she opened the door, she saw Niu's sister-in-law standing at the door.
This is really...what you think will come true.
Mingzhu smiled with a smile on her face: "Sister-in-law, long time no see."
"Sister, I heard Zhuangzhuang say you were back last night, and he even ate the candy you gave him. Thank you so much."
Mingzhu leaned aside and made a gesture to let Niu's sister-in-law in: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? We are neighbors. There is no need to say thank you for a few pieces of candy. Do you have time now? Come to my house and have a seat. I'm trying to make a living and I want to ask you for help."
