Chapter 89 New Home “New” Life
Lin Yiyi was a little scared and didn't dare to think too much about it.
After dinner in the evening, Zhao Sheng told the whole family about his plan to take Lin Yiyi to the city.
The Zhao family had no objection.
When Zhao Sheng proposed to give his parents only 10 yuan a month, and only 5 yuan a month for pension after the twins graduated in a few months, Wang Caihong and Zhao Tiezhu could no longer sit still.
"No! Your wife can go to the city with you, but she has to pay a certain amount every month!"
Wang Caihong disagreed directly. The second brother had become too powerful and no longer listened to her. Now she wanted to cut the monthly payment. How could she agree to that?
As if he had expected this to happen, Zhao Sheng spoke calmly, "I gave more to you because I understood how hard it was for you to raise a child. Now that this has happened, it's natural that we can't do the same as before. Mother, please understand your son's difficulties."
Wang Caihong knew that irritating Zhao Sheng would only backfire, so she didn't dare to force him. She said earnestly, "What's your problem? Son, you're the only one who earns the most in the family. Shouldn't you help the family more? Aren't you going to plan for your father and me to live in retirement?"
Not wanting to bring up old matters, Zhao Sheng spoke directly, "My parents said at the beginning that if you followed your eldest brother or the fourth brother, each family would give you 5 yuan a month for retirement. In the past two years, I have only given more, not less. Most of the money for the house was paid by me, but I don't plan to take it. I will just consider it as a gift to my parents. I will have my own family to support in the future."
"We haven't even separated yet, but you've calculated so much and are so calculative? You don't even have an ounce of affection? Second brother, don't forget what you promised us before." Zhao Tiezhu's face was dark, and his eyes stopped on Lin Yiyi.
His wife was right. The second son's wife was a troublemaker. The whole family had no peace since she came into the family.
It would be fine if he didn't mention this, but as soon as Zhao Sheng mentioned it, his face changed immediately, "Dad and Mom still want to bring this up? I did what I promised back then, but what kind of slut did you marry me? Now that you bring this up, do you still want to use me to your advantage?"
The corner of Zhao Sheng's mouth twitched slightly, his eyes full of mockery.
"I have done what I should do, so don't think about anything else in the future."
No matter what anyone says, it will be useless for what Zhao Sheng decides to do.
Wang Caihong wanted to argue with her son but was stopped by Zhao Tiezhu. On the surface, it seemed that Zhao's mother made the decisions at home, but the real decision was made by Zhao Tiezhu.
What if Zhao Sheng is really pushed to the limit and comes to fight for the house?
When a tree grows big, it will branch out; when a son grows up, he will separate.
Wang Caihong couldn't do anything with her son, she could only secretly push all the bad things onto her daughter-in-law.
They didn't get any benefits and were not even allowed to use firewood. Lin Yiyi was scolded when she wanted to take a hot bath.
How could Lin Yiyi possibly suffer a loss? The next day, she got up early for the first time in her life, secretly made two bowls of egg noodles, ate them with Zhao Sheng, and then took her luggage into the city.
The man was carrying two large bags of clothing in his left hand, a bedding roll and an enamel basin on his back, and a small jar of pickles in his right hand. Lin Yiyi packed some of the various dried wild vegetables from the cellar, and also took some frozen pears and persimmons, and didn't think it was too heavy.
She followed the man, taking one deep step and one shallow step.
Zhao Sheng was carrying all the things, and Lin Yiyi just held a bag of fruit and ate while walking.
When they got on the earliest bus to the county town, Wang Caihong was cursing at home, saying that she had married a rat-spirit and that she did everything before leaving.
Even the eggs in the chicken coop were touched and eaten by her today.
Lin Yiyi followed Zhao Sheng to the new home and felt terrible.
The new residence is a building, a long red brick building with four floors, seven households on each floor. There is a staircase in the middle, four households on the left and three households on the right. On the far right is a public sink where vegetables and clothes are washed.
To go to the toilet, you have to go to the public toilet downstairs, and to take a shower, you have to go to the bathhouse.
The room they lived in was the second one on the left on the second floor. There was a simple stove built outside the corridor at the door of each house.
When you push open the door, you will see a rectangular apartment. There is a door at one end and a window next to it. People in the room are choking because of the cooking outside. The design is really good. There is also a window at the other end, but it is bigger.
Using one stride, it is roughly estimated to be four meters wide and six meters long.
If you put something there and turn around, you will hit the wall.
It was a standard business room with a 1.5-meter wooden bed, a wardrobe, a small round table and two stools.
If I had known about this condition earlier, I would rather live in the countryside. The room is bigger, the orientation is better, and it is more convenient to take a shower and go to the toilet.
Lin Yiyi thought again about what she had done in the morning, and realized that she had cut off her retreat route.
Always leave some room for others so that you can meet again in the future.
Seeing Lin Yiyi's stunned expression, Zhao Sheng put down his things and pulled her into the house. Knowing that she was not very satisfied, he said in a low and soft voice: "No one has cleaned the house, so it is empty for the time being. I will buy the things you want after a while, and add a desk and chair for you. Don't worry about what I promised you."
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Sheng still had to go out to buy something, so he reminded Lin Yiyi, "Wipe the bed and cabinets at home first. I'm going to be out for a while, so lunch might be late. I'll bring it back for you. If you're hungry, eat some pears. Don't you love pears the most?"
Lin Yiyi: “…” Who the hell likes to eat pears? There are only these two fruits.
The room was empty. The walls were painted white but there were many peeling spots. The floor was cement. I fetched some water and used Zhao Sheng's old, torn vest as a rag, and carefully wiped the furniture twice.
It was boring to be idle, so Lin Yiyi put her clothes in the closet, made the bed, and ate two cookies. Then the man came back.
Zhao Sheng's body was almost covered with things. After putting them down, he went downstairs to pick up some things. I don't know where he got so many things from, but it only took him about two hours.
All the pots, pans, rice, flour, grain, oil, cabbage, radish, pork, and even his own luggage and bedding were moved over.
I also brought a kettle with the theme of "Flowers Blossom and Wealth Comes".
He is determined to live with her!
The originally empty room was filled up in an instant. After Zhao Sheng and Lin Yiyi finished their meal, they began to put their things away and filled up their closets.
With the addition of Zhao Sheng's bedding, Lin Yiyi added an extra layer to the bed, making it a little softer.
In fact, it was still hard. How soft could the two mattresses on the bed be? It was still winter, and the temperature could drop to minus ten degrees Celsius at night.
The lace curtains came in handy again, but Lin Yiyi was still worried. Standing in the corridor, she could see the whole house from the window.
It would be inconvenient for her to wear less.
I don't have that many cloth coupons to buy cloth as partitions.
In the afternoon, at Lin Yiyi's suggestion, Zhao Sheng took her to the scrap yard, riding a borrowed bicycle, to see if he could find a table or chair.
I didn't find what I wanted, but I did find a wooden four-door screen. Perhaps it was preserved because there were no inscriptions or paintings on it. The surface was woven with rattan and the frame was made of wood.
I also found a solid wood chest of drawers. I knew it was a good thing at first glance. It was very heavy!
Finally, I gave the man at the scrap yard an extra 50 cents and asked him to pull a cart to deliver the goods to the steel plant.
The more she gets along with Zhao Sheng, the more she feels that this guy is not an easy person to deal with. He is always very serious when he gets along with her, as if he has found a father. But she doesn't know how he can chat with the old man. He must speak nicely, otherwise why would he give him an old spittoon!
Enamel!
