"Hey, the one in the corner, it's your turn!"
The barber took a sponge to brush the broken hair of the customer who had just finished a haircut, and shouted to Xu Yin.
Xu Yin put away the system panel, opened her eyes, stood up and walked over.
Half an hour later, she walked out of the barber shop with neat short hair.
The original body shape is actually very good, with a straight nose, deep eyebrows, small lips, and all the facial features are very exquisite, and they can even be included in the representative works of plastic surgery. But for some reason, when they are put together, they don’t feel like women.
Beauty, but handsome neutral beauty.
Unlike Zhou Jiao next door, she has a sweet appearance and is pretty and charming even without makeup.
Workers in the factory often call Zhou Jiao "little beauty", but she is actually "that tomboy from the old Xu family" in their mouths.
This planted a thorn in Yuan's heart, so that when the wind that blocked her eyes blew from the south to the north, she did not hesitate to take out all the savings in her pocket. If she didn't have enough, she borrowed some from her little sister.
The barber shop did this hairstyle.
It wasn't until later that she learned that this kind of facial features and bones was called a sense of high-level.
But at that time, she had already been in and out of trouble three times, and she had also contracted a gynecological disease that was difficult to cure. There was not much time left for her to regret...
"Hey, which family are you from? I've never seen you before."
Downstairs in Tongzi, Xu Yin was stopped by an aunt who was carrying a pile of sheets to the patio to wash.
Xu Yin introduced herself helplessly: "I belong to Xu Wu's family."
The aunt looked at her carefully: "Hey, are you Xu Yin? Have you cut your hair? I think you should have cut it long ago. Isn't it much more refreshing?"
The aunt talked with her with great interest, and finally inquired about the situation of her family:
"The signing is about to be signed in the afternoon. What are your parents' plans? My old man is old, so he will retire early. Your parents are still young, not to mention there are two children to raise. It's a lot of pressure. That day I was drying the quilt on the rooftop
, I heard your mother say that after the summer vacation, she wants to take your brother up and study in a factory-run elementary school. In the current situation, your brother's education will be troublesome. He is no longer an employee of the factory, and he will still go to the factory-run elementary school
No? No wonder your mother hurriedly picked up a bag and went out before noon, going back to your grandma's house to discuss your brother's studies, right? "
Xu Yin: "..."
That's the bad thing about Tongzilou. If something happens to someone's house, it can't escape the eyes of the neighbors.
However, the little bully and cheap brother must be taken over as soon as possible. After all, he is only seven years old. He may be able to save him, but if he really can't, he will be put under his nose.
But where will you stay when you come?
The Tongzi building where her home is located has single rooms, and the so-called back rooms are all separated by themselves.
Like Zhou Jiao's house next door, the siblings sleep in the inner room, and the parents sleep in the outer room. Cooking and other things are done in the corridor. When eating, there is a small folding dining table set up next to the couple's big bed, which is put away when not in use.
But Ma Chunfang didn't like this model. She had seen the layout of the building where the engineer lived, and she envied the layout of one or two bedrooms and one living room. She wanted to make her own small single room like this, so she couldn't live in a small room no matter how cramped it was.
Stick to the dining room and living room in the outer room and the bedroom in the back room.
It looks very clean and tidy, but in a ten-square-meter back room, there is a one-meter-three-meter bed by the window, an eighty-centimeter small bed against the wall, and a curtain in the middle. How can there be any extra space?
Xu Yin pondered all the way up the stairs.
When Father Xu saw his daughter getting a haircut, his reaction was exactly the same as the aunt downstairs: "I almost didn't recognize you when you came in. With this haircut, you look more like a boy, and she looks much more refreshing than before."
As he said this, he took out two lunch boxes, the meals he had just packed from the canteen. One lunch box contained edamame and pickled vegetables in half, and fried tofu stuffed with meat in the other half. The other lunch box contained rice.
He took a big bowl, poured half of the rice into the bowl, and handed the lunch box to his daughter.
"Your mother has gone to your grandma's house. Let us have a simple meal."
"Well." Xu Yin washed her hands and sat down, "Dad, after signing the contract and receiving the money this afternoon, let's go see if there are any private houses for rent nearby."
"Ah? Why do you want to rent a house? You can live well here, so why waste money on it?"
"..."
The cheap dad never thought that the factory would take back the house after he was laid off, right?
"This is a dormitory allocated to employees in the factory. Since both of you have been laid off, will the factory continue to allow our family to live in it? Even if we can still live in it for the time being, where will my brother live when he comes? Change the dining table to a foldable one and make a bed outside?
"
"..."
After being married for many years, how could Father Xu not know his wife's temperament? It was impossible to make a bed in the dining room or eat in the sleeping room.
"There is another way." Xu Yin took pickles with chopsticks and ate them with rice, and said slowly, "Now there is a housing reform policy. Employees can spend a small amount of money to buy dormitories, and they will always be their own in the future.
But just buying the house we live in still can’t solve the problem of where my brother will sleep. So, dad, after signing the contract this afternoon, go to the factory office and ask who has moved out after being laid off and the house they have vacated.
Let’s buy it.”
"Why buy it?" Xu's father said with a disapproving look, "Isn't this a waste of money? The factory doesn't let us move now. We can live here as long as we can. If we can't live in it anymore, it's not too late to find a way.
I don’t believe that with so many laid-off workers, every family in the factory can be kicked out.”
Xu Yin had a headache.
It seems that until the factory management notified the laid-off workers to move out within a time limit, the cheap dad simply did not believe that the factory would be so heartless.
"Dad, after you and mom are laid off, you and your mother will not be able to find jobs for a while. If the factory takes back the house and sells it to those who are willing to pay for it, we won't even have a place to stay. We won't have anyone here yet.
Aware of this problem, we took the initiative to buy it. Firstly, we might have a chance to choose a house. Secondly, the factory leaders felt that our family was enlightened. In the future, when there are vacancies in the factory and we need to recruit new people, the first thing we will think of is you, dad.
Isn’t this a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?”
Father Xu sounds reasonable, but why not buy a room first?
I heard from Lao Zhou that the children of laid-off workers could no longer attend the factory-run elementary schools and junior high schools. Even if his son came, he would still have to find another school. Instead of going through so much trouble, it would be better to stay at his grandma’s house and attend a school in the town, and then go back to school.
They will wait until the couple has secured a job before transferring their son to another school. Otherwise, spending 20,000 yuan to buy a house will always make him feel unsure.
Leng Buding heard his daughter say something else:
"This is my first decision since becoming the head of the family. Dad, don't you support me?"
Father Xu ran out of ideas and nodded quickly: "I support you! Let's go to the factory after dinner!"
