Xiaoman smiled and said, "Xiaohan's wife's family has taken a liking to our house."
"That three-courtyard house you bought in Beijing?"
"Um."
Han Bin thought for a moment. If they simply wanted to buy their house, they could just write a letter saying they weren't selling. But now that Xiaoman wanted to go, it meant there was something wrong with that family: "Did someone in their family become an official in this revolution?"
"Um."
"There are so many houses in Beijing, why did they choose ours?"
“The location and layout of our house are good. They think you’re just a brigade commander. Not even a brigade commander from the Beijing Military Region.”
"Damn it! What are you going to do when you get there? Or should I call Chen Chuan?"
"Don't bother him with such a small thing."
"So what are you going to do?"
"We'll see how they react then."
"How about we ignore them for now? I'll save up some leave, and once I've saved enough, I'll go with you."
"No need." Xiaoman rolled over and pinned Han Bin down: "You just need to guard the base camp for me."
I want to go with you.
Xiaoman started moving around on Han Bin: "I can handle this little thing by myself."
"Um... Xiao... Xiaoman, I... I'm talking to you about something important. Um... Xiao..."
Xiaoman leaned down and whispered in Han Bin's ear, "In my eyes, this is the important thing."
"Um... Xiaoman, let's... let's finish talking before... let's do it."
Xiaoman moved a few more times: "I've already said everything. Sweetie, I want a daughter."
"I also want a daughter, but... um..."
Xiaoman kissed Han Bin: "Don't worry, I can handle it. Now, enjoy yourself."
"Um...small...small..."
Xiaoman kissed Han Bin again: "If it's a daughter this time, I'll let you be on top for the next year."
“His family has… um… someone there… at the Revolutionary Committee… um…”
After that, Han Bin had no more chance to speak.
The next day, Xiaoman opened a letter of introduction and set off with Xiaohei.
In Beijing, as soon as Xiaohan returned, Qianqian's sister-in-law's younger brother came out of the house. His original name was An Hao, but he had changed it to An Weihong: "Xiaohan, you're off work?"
Xiao Han didn't want to talk to him, so she just gave a casual "hmm" and went back inside.
He had just gone in when An Weihong came in right behind him: "Xiao Han, has your sister replied to your letter yet?"
"without."
"My brother asked again, 'Why don't you send a telegram to your sister?'"
"If your brother is in a hurry, he can ask other people."
An Weihong thought to herself: People who live in three-courtyard houses are not ordinary people. Counting them up, only your sister's family has no background. "All the other houses are occupied, but your sister's house is empty."
"Then you just wait and see."
"Try urging them again."
"I told you, if you're in a hurry, find someone else."
“You…” An Weihong wanted to get angry, but the house wasn’t in hand yet: “You’re busy, I’m going back to my room.”
"Um."
When Xiaoman arrived in the capital, she didn't go to her own home or Xiaohan's home. Instead, she spent three days getting to know everyone in Qianqian's sister-in-law's family thoroughly.
On Sunday, Xiaohan and her husband, along with An Weihong's family, were all at home when Xiaoman led Xiaohei in through the door.
An Weihong happened to be in the yard: "Who are you?"
Xiaoman glanced at him.
Xiao Hei barked a few times, and Xiao Han, hearing it from inside, came out. Qian Qian followed her out.
Xiaohan: "Sister, you're here."
"Um."
Qianqian was embarrassed: "Sister, come inside quickly."
"Um."
An Weihong looked at Xiao Hei and then at Xiao Man: "Did you come on horseback?"
"Um."
"No wonder it took so long. Now that you're here, I'll go and call my brother."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Your brother is a leader now. When he has time, Xiaohan and I will pay him a visit."
An Weihong thought to herself: You're smart enough to know what's good for you. "Alright then, my brother's been so busy these days. I'll go ask him."
"Okay. We'll bring your sister along too; she's the middleman." If it weren't for her, they wouldn't have been eyeing her house.
"good."
After An Weihong left, Xiaoman went inside.
Qianqian: "Sister, it's all my fault."
"This has little to do with you. Have a seat."
"Sis, I think I'll stay standing."
"Sit down. They think we're easy to bully."
Qianqian felt embarrassed to sit down. "Sister, I'll go make you something to eat."
"Um."
After Qianqian left, Xiaohan frowned: "Sister, you're not really going to sell the house to them, are you?"
"Won't."
Xiao Han didn't want to sell either. But, "Sister, their family is very powerful now."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "When petty people gain power, they become arrogant."
"What if they insist on buying it?"
"They dare not."
"real?"
"Um."
"Then I'm relieved. Sister, you'll be an aunt soon."
"Congratulations."
On the other side, An Weihong called out as soon as she entered the door, "Mom, is my brother home?"
Grandma An came out of the house: "He's not here. What's wrong?"
"Mom, we'll be able to live in a big house soon."
The old lady laughed upon hearing this: "That woman is here?"
"Um."
"Great! Old man, old man, the woman is here. We've found a place to live."
Old Man An came out of the house: "Did that woman agree?"
The old lady said, "How dare she refuse? Our eldest son is now..."
"Shut up." Old Man An quickly went over and closed the door. "What do you want to say? Our boss finally became a leader. What if someone hears you talking nonsense? Didn't I tell you that whatever you do is to serve the people?"
The old lady said, "I forget about it when I'm happy."
"If you forget again, I'll slap you."
"No, no. Dad, should we call the eldest son back?"
"What's the rush? The house isn't going anywhere. Wei Hong, did that woman agree?"
“She definitely agreed. I said I would call my brother over, and she said my brother is a leader and she would have to pay him a visit.”
The old lady laughed when she heard this: "I knew she would agree!"
Old Man An also thought Xiaoman would agree. "Then let's call her over when your brother comes back."
"good."
The old lady said, "I'll pack my things now."
As soon as An Weidong returned, the old lady asked An Weihong to call Xiaoman. An Weidong thought for a moment and said, "Have her come the day after tomorrow."
The old lady said, "Why wait until the day after tomorrow? Let's go now. I don't want to stay here for even a day longer."
Old Man An glared at the old woman: "Listen to Wei Dong. Wei Dong, are you trying to ruin her career?"
"Okay. Wei Hong, go back and tell her I've gone to accompany the leader on an inspection tour and won't be back until the day after tomorrow."
"Okay. Bro, do you want to try and lower the price a bit more?"
An Weidong smiled and said, "She's not from Beijing and doesn't know the situation here. Take her out for a walk these next couple of days when you have some free time."
Old Man An understood: "By the way, mention your elder brother."
"good."
When An Weihong got back, he told Xiaoman that his brother wouldn't be back until the day after tomorrow.
Xiaoman smiled and said, "I understand."
The next day, after Xiaohan and her husband went to work, An Weihong came to find Xiaoman: "Comrade Wang Xiaoman, let me take you out for a walk."
"Need not."
"Go ahead. You don't have anything else to do anyway. Let me tell you, the capital has changed a lot in the past few years."
Xiaoman understood: "Okay."
After a while, An Weihong told Xiaoman how capable her brother was.
The next day, An Weihong took Xiaoman out for another day.
On the third day, around noon, An Weihong finally brought Xiaoman and Xiaohan home.
