Tong Xuelu saw that it was still early, so she decided not to rush back and look for a house in the city.
After exchanging jobs with Su Xiuying, their family of four would definitely have to move to the city, and the state-owned hotel job did not provide housing.
The house where Su Xiuying lived was not allocated by Ho Po-kan's unit, but her own house. When she sold her workstation, she would sell the house along with it.
Even if Su Xiuying did not sell the house, she did not want to rent it from her.
Because compared with the family compound, the yard was more dilapidated and more cramped. Once you entered the yard, it was full of things and dirty.
She wanted to move to a private place where she did not have to consider other people's eyes when cooking.
And she did not like those indifferent neighbors, so if she had a choice, she would not rent from Su Xiuying.
Since I was going to work in a state-owned hotel, it would be best if I lived near the hotel.
After Tong Xuelu made up her mind, she headed for the southern part of the city.
Unlike later generations, the houses in Beijing are now dense and low, without any planning.
Moreover, most of the houses are old houses, with several generations of a family living together. Not to mention renting or selling, there is not enough room for even myself.
Tong Xuelu walked around the surrounding residential areas and asked many people, but she didn't see a single house for rent.
She couldn't help but miss the small advertisements and real estate agencies that filled the streets in modern times.
Later, with the guidance of an old lady, she asked her to go to the Housing Authority to ask, maybe there were houses for sale or rent.
It was almost noon, and she hurried to the Housing Authority for fear that the people at the Housing Authority would get off work.
Arriving at the Housing Management Office, she was about to step in when she bumped into a man who was walking out.
He was tall and strong, and although she didn't see stars when she bumped into him, her forehead was throbbing with pain.
But she was the one she bumped into, so she apologized consciously: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, are you okay?"
Xiao Chengping was about to say that he was fine, but suddenly he saw her face, he said "Huh", bent down and stared at her face.
Tong Xuelu felt offended and felt uncomfortable.
But before she could say anything, the other party pointed at her and shouted: "It's you, crybaby!"
Crybaby?
What the hell?
Tong Xuelu frowned and looked up at the man opposite.
She saw a tall and burly man standing in front of her, with a flat head, small eyes, a big nose, and his facial features didn't look very coordinated.
But that wasn't the problem. The problem was that this man looked a little familiar, but she couldn't remember him for a while.
"Sorry, you got the wrong person!"
She walked past him and was about to go in.
Xiao Chengping stopped her: "It's impossible to get the wrong person! It's you, Tong Xuelu!"
Tong Xuelu looked at the other person carefully, and then finally remembered who the other person was.
Xiao Chengping, the son of the Director of the General Logistics Department, is four years older than the original owner and grew up in the same courtyard.
Xiao Chengping has been tall since he was a child. He is a bully in the family compound and likes to bully the children in the same compound the most.
Among them, the original owner was the one who was bullied the most. Later, she would cry whenever she saw him, so
she got the nickname "Crybaby". A few years ago, Xiao Chengping went to the army to serve in the army. He has not been back in the past two years. He looks a lot older than before. In addition, the original owner's memory can only remember Fang Wenyuan, so she didn't recognize him at the first time she saw him.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xiao Chengping glared at her and said, "Tong Xuelu, why don't you say anything? Don't you remember me?"
"I don't remember! And a good dog doesn't block the road. Go away. If you don't go away, I will report you to the army for being a hooligan!"
After that, Tong Xuelu ignored him and walked straight past him.
Xiao Chengping looked like he had a toothache: "This crybaby, she said she didn't remember me. If she didn't remember me, how did she know I was in the army? I didn't expect that she would turn from a crybaby into a hot pepper after only two years of not seeing each other!"
The man next to him said: "Cousin, who is that woman? Why is she so sarcastic and even called you a dog? Do you want me to go in and teach her a lesson?"
Xiao Chengping lowered his eyes and glanced at him: "What lesson? Do you think you are a bandit?"
Cousin: "???"
Xiao Chengping snorted: "Remember you are a man, be more tolerant. Don't you feel ashamed to be so petty like a woman?"
Cousin: "..."
Okay, just pretend he is talkative! Pretend
he said nothing, you can be happy!
Xiao Chengping took a look inside and suddenly said with a sigh: "Strange, why did that crybaby come to the Housing Authority? Does she want to buy a house?"
Cousin: "Cousin, do you want me to go in and find out secretly?"
Xiao Chengping raised his eyebrows: "Why do you want to find out secretly? What's in your mind all day? People should be upright and honest. What's the point of being sneaky!"
Cousin: "…………"
From this moment on, he would not! say! a word! ! !
If he said anything else, he would be a dog!!!
**
Tong Xuelu went into the Housing Authority and explained her purpose to the staff.
The staff was a woman in her twenties, and her eyes swept over Tong Xuelu's fair face.
With a cold and arrogant look, he said, "I don't have any houses for rent, but I do have houses for sale. Do you have the money ready?"
Tong Xuelu took out two White Rabbit milk candies from her military bag and handed them over, saying with a smile, "Little sister, you are so young and you can find such a good job. It's really enviable!"
Zou Fangyun was stunned for a moment, then a blush appeared on her face and she said, "What are you talking about? My son is seven or eight years old. "I'm not old, why do you still call me little sister?"
Tong Xuelu was surprised: "No way? Your skin is so white and shiny, I thought you were one or two years younger than me, how do you maintain it?"
Zou Fangyun was shy and a little proud: "How can I maintain it? To be honest, my skin has been very white since I was a child. Before, when I went out, people didn't believe that I had such a big son!"
Tong Xuelu said sincerely: "I wouldn't believe it either! And I heard that women will age quickly after giving birth, but you don't look like you've had a baby!"
Zou Fangyun touched her face and smiled like a flower: "By the way, what kind of house did you say you want to buy? I see you are not very old, why did you come here alone to look at houses?"
Tong Xuelu pursed her lips and her eyes were red: "I didn't want to come here alone, but my parents both died a few months ago. Now I'm the oldest in the family, and my youngest sister is only three years old. Don't I have to take care of it all by myself?"
Zou Fangyun heard this and her nose was sour: "You are so young, it's hard to bear it. "It's not easy."
Tong Xuelu wiped away the tears that fell, and said with a nasal voice: "It's not easy for anyone these days, we still have to survive, right? I'm going to change jobs with someone recently, and I have to work in a state-owned hotel in the city, so I want to rent a house nearby."
When Zou Fangyun heard that she was working in a state-owned hotel, his eyes lit up: "Is your job in the state-owned hotel stable?"
Tong Xuelu nodded: "Of course it is stable, but the other party still has some things to deal with, and I have to wait another week or two before I can change jobs. "
It's very respectable to be able to work in a state-owned hotel these days. If you have relatives and friends working in a state-owned hotel, it is also a very face-saving thing.
Especially when you want to invite someone to a restaurant, if you have an acquaintance in a state-owned hotel, you can ask the other party to save some good food, which is a very face-saving thing!
Zou Fangyun wanted to make friends with Tong Xuelu: "You have a good job, you must change it. As for a place to live, there is no rental, but there are a few for sale this month. Do you have time to go and have a look now?"
Tong Xuelu looked at the time and said: "It's almost time to get off work and have lunch. How about this, I will treat you to a state-owned hotel for lunch, and then we can go to look at houses?"
Zou Fangyun quickly refused: "No, no, state-owned hotels are so expensive, how can I let you treat me!"
The other party has lost his parents and has to support his younger brothers and sisters. How can she let him treat her?
But Tong Xuelu insisted on treating her and took her to the state-owned hotel.
If you want others to help you do things, you must be polite.
Some money should be spent, this is her usual style of doing things.
When the two came out of the housing management office, Xiao Chengping had already left.
Tong Xuelu and Zou Fangyun finally went to the state-owned hotel and ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles each.
Although the state-owned hotel did not have much supply and the choices were very simple, the portions were sufficient and not fake, and the two of them ate until their stomachs were full.
After dinner, Zou Fangyun became even more enthusiastic towards Tong Xuelu, and simply treated her as her own sister.
She did not go back to rest at noon, but took Tong Xuelu to see several houses that were currently on sale.
**
There were very few houses for sale at this time, almost none.
Many of the houses people live in now are left over from their previous families, or they are allocated by work units. Often, there is not enough for a family to live in, so how could they be sold?
Besides, the houses of the unit cannot be sold outside, and if they are sold, they can only be sold to people in the same unit, so if you don’t have connections, it is impossible to buy a house.
Zou Fangyun took Tong Xuelu to see three houses.
The first two houses were so dilapidated that Tong Xuelu suspected that they would collapse at any time. The key point was that the location was not good, but the price was not low.
Tong Xuelu rejected it without thinking.
The third house is an independent courtyard.
There are four rooms with independent kitchens and toilets. The rooms are spacious and bright, and each one is sunny and ventilated. There is no dark room.
The house is not shabby and the location is also very good. It is far away from the main road, and you can’t hear the noise outside when you close the door.
This house is simply built on Tong Xuelu’s aesthetics!
"Sister Fangyun, this house shouldn't be cheap, right?"
Zou Fangyun raised her palm: "This is the price!"
One palm, that means five thousand yuan!
Tong Xuelu was shocked when she heard this.
Tong Dajun and his wife received one thousand yuan in pension, and sold the workstation to the Xu family for three hundred and eighty yuan, and gave half to the people in Beihe.
In order to let Xie Jinhua and others "corrupt" some time ago, she took the initiative to give a lot of money. After counting, she still has more than one thousand and one hundred.
It's not even half of it, how can it be bought!
Zou Fangyun said: "Sister, I introduced this house to you. If it was someone else, I might not bring it here! The house was paid for by the former big investors, but you don't have to worry about any problems later. Now the house is under the name of the government, there is no problem at all."
"It's just that many people are afraid that the government will take it back one day, so they don't sell it. But if they keep it for one or two months at most, it will definitely be bought by someone else!"
Her husband's family doesn't have that much money, otherwise she would have bought it long ago.
"Sister Fangyun, this house is too expensive. I can't afford that much money. I'm so sorry to have taken up so much of your time."
Tong Xulu felt like she was going to an LV store with two hundred yuan. She was so distressed.
Zou Fangyun waved her hands: "Why are you being so polite to me? But if you can't buy a house, where are you going to live?"
Tong Xuelu sighed: "Let's see later, there will always be a way."
The last way is to rent a house with Su Xiuying.
**
On the way back, Tong Xuelu became a little depressed.
She liked the house too much. As for the government taking it back, she was not worried at all. The problem was that she couldn't come up with so much money!
Now it was still two years away from the economic opening up. It was impossible for her to make a lot of money in a short time.
She could get some food and sell it on the black market like many of her predecessors who traveled through time, but going to the black market was just a small business. Without space and golden fingers, it was impossible for her to make 4,000 yuan in a short time.
Well, after all, her final destination was to rent a house with Su Xiuying.
After dinner that night, Tong Xuelu told Tong Jiaming that she would soon change jobs.
"I changed jobs with someone at a state-owned hotel in the city. When the time comes, I will find a house and we will move there together. Do you have any problems?"
Tong Jiaming was surprised when he heard this.
A state-owned hotel is a very respectable job, and many people want to get in but can't.
She actually exchanged her position as a textile worker with someone successfully, how did she do it?
Seeing his surprised look, Tong Xuelu explained, "I did that person a small favor, and she happened to want to change jobs, so we exchanged."
A small favor?
Tong Jiaming didn't believe it at all, but he didn't intend to break the cask to get to the bottom of it.
She sent Tong Zhenzhen to the farm, and sent Tong Yanliang to the northwest, and the group of people in Beihe's hometown came in high spirits and left in disgrace, all of which were her work!
But if she was so powerful, why did she leave the Tong family there?
Tong Jiaming thought so in his heart, and didn't expect to ask the question without paying attention.
Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows: "You don't think I left the Tong family over there because I was afraid of Tong Zhenzhen, or was forced to leave by Tong Zhenzhen?"
Tong Jiaming: "Isn't it?"
Tong Xuelu rolled her eyes: "Of course not! You underestimate me too much. If I don't want to leave, no one can drive me away! The reason I left the Tong family is because it was not my home. This is my home!" Tong Jiaming's
heart seemed to be hit hard by a hammer.
He wanted to ask her, if she regarded this place as her home, why did she talk to his parents like that?
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Tong Xuelu didn't know what he was thinking: "Do you have any other questions?"
Tong Jiaming shook his head: "No."
"Don't tell anyone else about this for now, or you'll be laughed at if you can't change it."
"Okay."
As soon as the two finished talking, Tong Mianmian kicked over with her short legs: "Sister, look at the hair that Third Brother tied for Mianmian, it doesn't look good!" Before
Tong Xuelu could say anything, Tong Jiaxin rushed over like a firecracker: "What's not good-looking? It's obviously very beautiful. Third Brother will tie your hair every day in the future!"
"No, no, no!"
Tong Mianmian waved her chubby little hands, and her little head shook like a wave drum.
Ugly Rejection.jpg
Tong Xuelu saw that her little tufts of hair had been tied into two hedgehog-like things, and she couldn't help rolling her eyes at the ceiling.
She picked up the little girl and soothed her softly, "Don't worry, Mianmian, sister won't let him touch your hair."
Tong Jiaxin's eyebrows twisted into a caterpillar, and he said unconvincedly, "Why can't I tie Mianmian's hair? Why?"
Tong Xulu glanced at him coldly, "You can tie it, but you don't have to eat the food I cook in the future."
"..."
Tong Jiaxin was like a duck with its neck strangled, unable to say a word.
Tong Xulu curled her lips and smiled.
To hit the snake at its most vulnerable point, for foodies, not letting them eat is more painful than taking their lives.
Tong Jiaxin felt very uncomfortable at this time, but he didn't dare to fight back.
**
It was Grandpa Wen's 70th birthday, and the Wen family's phone kept ringing since the morning.
Officers from the army and old comrades in other places called to wish him a happy birthday.
Relatives and friends in Beijing also sent birthday gifts early in the morning.
Old Master Wen warned them in advance not to send expensive things, so everyone sent practical but not expensive things.
Old Master Wen looked at the people in the room who wished him a happy birthday, but he was very unhappy in his heart.
Because these people are not young grass!
As soon as everyone left, Grandpa Wen couldn't help complaining: "You unfilial grandson! You made me unable to hug my great-grandson at the age of seventy!"
Wen Rugui put a bowl of longevity noodles in front of him, knelt down and kowtowed, "Grandpa, I wish you a long life and a long life!"
Grandpa Wen: "If you want me to live longer than the Southern Mountains, bring the young grass to me!"
Wen Rugui: "..."
Grandpa Wen saw that he didn't say anything again, and he was so angry that his beard was about to fly: "Lao Jiang's great-grandson is almost three years old, and there is no shadow of my great-grandson. I don't care. You must bring the young grass back to me to see this New Year!"
Wen Rugui: "..."
He felt a little headache. Although the old man urged him to find a partner and get married in the past, he would never be so willful.
Ever since he met Tong Xuelu that time, he has been developing in an uncontrollable direction.
Today, people who came to the Wen family to celebrate the birthday saw a room full of green grass and asked what was going on.
How should he answer?
After Wen Rugui went upstairs, Old Man Wen stretched his neck to look at the other end of the stairs and asked Uncle Zong: "Xiao Zong, how was my performance just now?" Uncle Zong
flattered him and said: "Commander, you just performed better than the actors on the stage before!"
Old Man Wen: ? ?
Why does this sound weird?
Old Man Wen thought about it and put it aside, smiling with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes: "That stinky boy is a spinning top, he won't move unless you hit him."
It didn't matter that he didn't have a partner before, but now that he knows there is a young grass, he must remind him from time to time.
"Commander, you are still smart."
Uncle Zong continued to flatter while sorting out the gifts.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on one of the gifts, and he froze: "Commander, this is..."
Old Master Wen raised his eyebrows: "What is it? You are hesitant!" Uncle
Zong: "This is sent by that person. It is two snacks and a set of clothes. This dress looks like it is for Rugui."
Old Master Wen was furious: "Throw it out, throw it all out! How dare she give things to Rugui!"
"Yes, I'll take it out and throw it away!"
Uncle Zong quickly put the things back into the box, and then took it out to throw it away.
Old Master Wen sat alone in the hall, with a cold look on his face, and no longer had the smile he had before.
Seeing Uncle Zong coming back, he sighed: "Don't let Rugui know about this."
Uncle Zong responded in a low voice: "Don't worry, Commander, I won't tell."
When it got dark, Pu Jianyi finally had time to come over and wish Old Master Wen a happy birthday.
Old Master Wen was a little exhausted after being the birthday star for a whole day, so he went back to his room to rest.
Pu Jianyi was not in a hurry. He put one hand on Wen Rugui's shoulder and winked: "Did you receive the fish from Comrade Tong?"
Wen Rugui was confused: "What fish?"
Pu Jianyi: "No? Yesterday she came to my office and asked what you like to eat. She said she wanted to send you food as a thank you gift!"
Wen Rugui's dark eyelashes trembled slightly: "No." Pu
Jianyi was still very angry when he thought about it: "Although you asked for help, I did help after all. She didn't even mention thanking me. My heart is chilled!"
Wen Rugui glanced at him and was about to speak when he saw Uncle Zong walk in with a large plate of steamed fish.
Wen Rugui and Pu Jianyi were both startled.
"Uncle Zong, where did you get this fish?"
Uncle Zong was afraid that the fish would fall, so he said simply, "Someone gave it to me."
The hall was quiet for a few seconds.
Wen Rugui walked over and said, "Uncle Zong, give it to me, I'll take it in."
Uncle Zong wanted to say no, but seeing Wen Rugui's insistent face, his hands were placed straight in front of him, as if he would not take it back unless he gave it to him.
He had no choice but to pass the plate over.
Pu Jianyi clicked his tongue and said, "Speak of the devil, Rugui, do you still dare to say that I was talking nonsense before?" He actually
sent the things to the military compound, and chose the day of Master Wen's 70th birthday.
Tsk, what a flatterer!
Wen Rugui ignored him, took the fish into the kitchen, and did not know what he was doing in the kitchen. He did not come out until a long time later.
Old Master Wen slept until dinner time and woke up.
Pu Jianyi stayed at the Wen family, so it was natural for him to eat at the Wen family.
Old Master Wen glanced at the dining table and asked Uncle Zong, "Where is the fish?"
Uncle Zong looked at Wen Rugui, "Commander, the fish was just delivered and was taken to the kitchen by Rugui. I will go and get it now."
Wen Rugui paused while picking up the chopsticks, "Uncle Zong, you don't have to go."
Uncle Zong, "Why?"
The eyes of everyone in the room were focused on Wen Rugui.
Pu Jianyi suddenly shouted: "You just hid in the kitchen for so long, you couldn't have eaten the fish by yourself? You are so shameless!"
Wen Rugui: "..."
Uncle Zong ran into the kitchen and saw fish bones in the trash can.
He came back and reported it to Old Master Wen.
Old Master Wen was so angry that he yelled: "That was the fish that Lao Jiang gave me for my birthday. Even if you are greedy, at least leave a bite for me!" Wen
Rugui: "..." Pu Jianyi
paused for a moment to react.
The next moment he burst into laughter and laughed so hard that he fell down: "Hahahaha..."
He laughed to death.
