Ever since their son was assigned there, they haven't been to see the urban environment where their son lives.
"I've already asked for leave. Your father and I will go over there the day after tomorrow to see what your brother's arrangements are. You can cook for yourself at home these days and take good care of yourself."
"Mom, I want to go too."
"Don't you still have a job?"
"I just finished a few projects recently, so I have a chance to relax. I also want to visit my brother's workplace. I will ask for leave from work tomorrow."
"Go, go, as long as the leader agrees, our family can go and see your brother." Ying's father is not very busy recently. His wife asked him to go and see, so he decided to go and see.
After the family made this decision, Ying Han packed a few pieces of clothes that night.
The next day I asked Director Wang for leave.
"Xiao Han, you said you were going to Y City. That's perfect. I have something to trouble you with."
"Ah, leader, what could be going on in City Y? It's not another inspection, is it?"
"This isn't really an inspection, it's just a document you're delivering.
There's a blueprint inside.
A few days ago, people from the Erqi Construction Team went to investigate and study their project of building a tourist area in the air-raid shelters, and they needed these drawings.
I was thinking of sending Xiao Shen over there. If you go there, you can help deliver it.
Don't worry, I'll treat this as a business trip and reimburse your round-trip travel expenses."
Ying Han was delighted. "Okay, Director. I will definitely send the materials over."
Director Wang gave her an address, a phone number, and some funds, and repeatedly told her not to lose them.
She was also allowed to leave work early in the afternoon so that she could go back and prepare.
"Xiao Han, thank you so much this time. I was just not wanting to go." When Shen Miaoqing heard that Ying Han was going to Y City, she knew that she was safe.
To be honest, what he hates most is riding the train.
"Ahem, tell me how you want to thank me."
"I'll treat you to a meal. I'll give you a chicken drumstick at noon today."
"I don't want chicken legs. I want braised fish."
"no problem."
"As for me, there are only two ladies in the design department now. You won't be biased, will you, Xiao Shen?"
"Please, both of you."
"Brother Chen, what about us?" The newcomer Xiao Chen said with a smile.
As a result, Shen Miaoqing gave him a cold look and said disdainfully, "What's the point of eating fish, you rough guy? One bowl of braised noodles for each of you. If you don't want to eat it, forget it."
When the two newcomers saw the treatment, they whistled in dissatisfaction.
I'm going to my brother's place tomorrow, and I'll be gone for a week or seven or eight days.
So after leaving the office, I drove directly to Deng Chen's place.
After waiting for a long time, he didn't come back.
She hadn't seen Deng Chen for more than a week. He was busy completing a project some time ago and hadn't seen him all day. When she finally saw him, he was too busy to say a few words.
Ying Han returned home feeling depressed. He thought to himself: Next time I see him, I must ask him if he wants to install a telephone at home.
At worst, she could give him a press and consider it as the interest on the money she borrowed.
This way I can contact Deng Chen at any time.
....
This is Ying Han's first time traveling far away with his parents.
The family of three took three days of train travel to get there because they hadn't told their brother they were coming.
After getting off the train, I asked a few people before I found out where my brother worked.
This place is located in the outer ring of the city. Although it is a bit remote, the building is very grand and covers a large area.
Their family compound is not far from the unit.
Not long after Ying's father spoke to the security guard at the entrance of the unit, his brother came down.
Looking at them in surprise and surprise, "Mom, Dad, Hanhan, why are you here?"
"We're not busy at work lately, so we came to see you. You've been working here for so long, and we still don't know what your working environment is like."
"If you're coming, please let me know in advance so I can pick you up."
"We have hands and feet, we can find it."
"Come on, I'll take you back to your residence first."
Ying Li took them back to his dormitory, a standard single room, not one of those tube-shaped buildings.
There is a toilet inside, but cooking needs to be done outside.
But Yingli is alone here and rarely cooks, so he just puts a stove at the door to boil water.
Mother Ying looked at the place where her son lived and found that the conditions were similar to those when she was studying at a junior college in the neighboring city.
For a moment, I felt distressed. "Didn't you apply for a house? A two-bedroom apartment, why are you still living here?"
"Mom and Dad, please sit down first."
"Xiao Li, has something happened?" Father Ying had a premonition that something was wrong with his son.
"Yeah, a little bit." Since his parents were already there, Ying Li had no intention of hiding it, so he nodded and said.
"What happened? Is it at work? Is it because of the house?" Ying's mother was worried and couldn't wait to find out what was going on.
Ying Li not only poured them some water slowly, but also sat aside before slowly saying, "Mom and Dad, Liu Zhi and I have broken up."
Father Ying was surprised. "Divided?"
Ying's mother was even more confused. "Why? Everything was fine. You've met both of your parents, applied for a house, and are about to have your wedding. Why are you breaking up all of a sudden?"
"Brother, why is this happening? What happened? Please tell us." Ying Han did not expect that his brother would suddenly say they wanted to break up just before getting married.
"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry to have worried you. I feel that Xiaozhi and I have some differences in our concepts and are not suitable for marriage."
"What's the disagreement? It's normal for people to have disagreements. Why not just talk it out? There's no need to break up on impulse."
"Mom and Dad, Hanhan, come on, I'll take you to see the house I've been allocated."
Ying Li didn't explain, but smiled and said he would take them to see the house.
The whole family was full of doubts, and the son refused to explain things to them.
I followed him to the new house, a two-bedroom, one-living room house with both the living room and bedroom being quite large.
The only thing is that I haven’t bought any furniture for it yet.
"This house is nice, brother. What happened between you and Sister Xiaozhi? The house has been allocated to us, how can we divide it up just like that?"
"Yes, Xiaoli, tell us what's going on."
"She wasn't satisfied with the house and looked at a small drum tower in the city. I disagreed, and then she started arguing with me."
"Because of the house?" Ying's mother frowned deeply, her heart sank, and she sighed secretly.
"How much does the Drum Tower cost? Since the girl asked for it, we can buy it. You are working here now, and if nothing unexpected happens, you may settle down here in the future. It would be nice to have your own property." Ying's father felt that if it was because of the house, there was no need to break up in a fit of anger.
"Dad, that Drum Tower is an old building, and the lowest asking price for one is tens of thousands. I was thinking of settling for a small courtyard nearby, but she didn't want to."
