In the end, Zhang Weifang could only get some water from the bathroom in the folding space.
Zhang Weifang was now unfamiliar with everything outside. She found a cloth bag and went next door with five apples in her hand.
She just heard the voice of her neighbor on the left. As she had just arrived, Zhang Weifang was planning to establish a relationship with him.
In the next yard, there was a woman in her fifties taking care of a child. In this day and age, fifty is considered old, and her face was covered with wrinkles from hard work.
Seeing Zhang Weifang, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked with a smile:
"Who are you? What's the matter with you coming to my house?"
Zhang Weifang probably understood what he meant, and she quickly handed the apple over:
"Auntie, I just moved in next door. I'm new here and don't understand a lot of things, so I came to ask you."
"Oh, come in. We're neighbors, so you're welcome." Seeing the apple, the woman's tone became much more sincere.
The woman's name is Deng Ni. Her family are all employees of the textile factory. Her husband is Feng Xincheng, and everyone calls her Aunt Feng.
Aunt Feng has two sons and a daughter. She lives here with her eldest son Feng Danian's family.
The second son, Feng Xiaonian, lived in the factory's tube-shaped dormitory.
Aunt Feng is fifty years old. She gave her job to her daughter Feng Cuicui five years ago, and now she looks after her grandson at home.
Aunt Feng rambled on for a long time, and Zhang Weifang finally got a word in:
"Auntie, I want to ask why there is no water in my tap. Do I need to pay the water bill first?"
"The water supply is time-limited. It's one hour in the morning and two hours at noon. There's no water at other times. You'd better pay attention to it and don't miss the time. Also, the water fee is five yuan per month."
"Okay, Auntie, thank you."
"You're welcome. Come and play when you have time."
After Zhang Weifang came out of Aunt Feng's house, he went to the Red Star Hotel immediately. Hu Zi and Zhang Jiuyi had already woken up.
When Zhang Jiuyi heard Zhang Weifang say that she had found a house, he couldn't wait to go home. He felt it was inconvenient to stay in a guesthouse.
The guesthouse is not far from Dianli Lane, and it takes about half an hour to walk there.
Zhang Jiuyi walked carefully, while concentrating on memorizing the route along the way.
Zhang Weifang's home is the third house in this alley. Although it is a bit remote, it is very close to the main road and can be reached in just a few minutes on foot.
What makes it even more convenient is that there is a bus stop not far away, which is undoubtedly a huge advantage for those who need to travel by public transportation.
Whether you are going to work, school or going out to do business, you can easily wait for the bus here and enjoy convenient transportation services.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jiuyi couldn't help but feel more satisfied with the location of Zhang Weifang's house.
Such superior geographical conditions not only bring many conveniences to life, but also should be very safe.
Perhaps this is why Zhang Weifang chose to live here? Zhang Jiuyi speculated secretly, his heart filled with curiosity and anticipation.
After opening the door, Zhang Jiuyi pulled Hu Zi in. He looked around and although the yard was small, it was pretty good overall.
Zhang Jiuyi walked into the room and took a look, and found that everything was ready. He admired Zhang Weifang's speed even more.
"Weifang, you're so fast, and you have everything you need."
Zhang Weifang couldn't say that she exchanged it in the system, so she made an excuse:
"Thanks to Secretary Yin's help, it was done in one go. I don't have to worry about living here anymore."
"Well, seeing you settle it, I feel relieved." Zhang Jiuyi's heart was completely relieved.
He walked into the utility room again and took a look. It was empty, with nothing in it.
"Weifang, while I'm here, let's go buy some coal briquettes together tomorrow so that it will be more convenient for cooking in the future."
"But I don't have a ticket, uncle. My house has been registered. Please move Hu Zi and my household registration here tomorrow." Zhang Weifang felt that he would feel at ease only after his household registration was settled.
"Okay, now that I have my household registration, I'll get the grain permit first, and then I'll see if I can get a coal permit."
Logically speaking, Zhang Weifang's household registration could be moved to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but there was also Hu Zi, so she planned to move the household registration of both of them to the neighborhood committee under the name of this house.
In the evening, Zhang Weifang went to Aunt Feng's house next door to exchange some coal briquettes and made do with some porridge and steamed buns.
The next morning, Zhang Weifang went to register for a new household registration and then went to the Grain Bureau to collect the grain book.
Holding the household registration book and food grain book, Zhang Weifang returned to the neighborhood committee. The neighborhood committee issued coal coupons to residents on demand every month. With the coal coupons, residents went to the nearby coal plant to buy coal themselves.
There are only two people in Zhang Weifang's family, so they only have 150 kilograms of coal briquettes every month, which costs about 220 yuan.
Of course, the quality of coal is different, and the amount of coal balls produced is also different, but about 140-150 coal balls can be produced for every 100 kilograms of coal.
If you only cook, more than 200 yuan should be enough.
With the coal ticket, Zhang Jiuyi hurried to the coal factory to pull coal briquettes.
The coal plant is very far from home. If you take a bus to get there, it will take at least half an hour.
On the way back, Zhang Jiuyi borrowed a worn but still usable cart from the coal plant.
The cart looked old, but it was good enough for him, and he began to load the heavy briquettes onto it, piling them up one after another until the entire cart was full.
He gripped the handle of the cart tightly and pulled it forward with all his strength.
Every step seemed extremely difficult, but he persevered. With sweat pouring down and his breathing rising and falling, he moved towards home step by step.
The journey home was not smooth, sometimes there were steep slopes or bumpy roads, but Zhang Jiuyi did not give up.
He gritted his teeth and pressed on, with only one goal in mind - to bring the coal briquettes home safely.
Zhang Weifang took Hu Zi to help push the cart from behind, and the three of them walked home together.
After returning, Zhang Jiuyi unloaded the coal briquettes one by one, stacked them neatly, and put them in the grocery room.
He also piled a few pieces in the corner of the kitchen, enough for Zhang Weifang to use temporarily.
After a hard morning, Zhang Weifang even fried some meat for lunch, and Zhang Jiuyi kept nagging him:
"Weifang, you'll be working alone and raising a child, so be frugal."
"Well, I know, uncle, you're too tired this morning. Let's have a good meal and warm up the house."
Zhang Jiuyi didn't say anything else and just picked up the meat and started eating.
In the afternoon, Zhang Weifang and the other two walked around the city. Weiyu City is very nice, with flat and smooth land, very suitable for living.
