After the family meeting ended, Ma Jianbing followed his niece step by step. When no one was around, he quietly asked: "Yin Yin, didn't you go back to Mushu Town a few days ago to see grandma? Did you go to see Luo
Brother borrowed money?"
"Yes." Xu Yin readily admitted.
"..."
Ma Jianbing looked horrified: "Really, did you borrow money from him? Are you so ambitious? How dare you ask him to borrow money! Is money from underground banks so easy to borrow? Borrow 10,000 yuan and ask you to pay back 100,000 yuan later.
…It’s over, it’s over…How many sesame seed cakes do you have to sell to make money back…”
Xu Yin glanced at her uncle with a half-smile: "You also know that it is difficult to borrow money from underground banks, right?"
"..."
Ma Jianbing wiped his face: "I know I was wrong! Haven't you corrected your evil ways? Then why are you still knowingly committing the crime?"
"I asked him to borrow it at normal interest."
"Is he willing?"
"That's not the case!"
"..."
All right!
He knew that his niece would definitely use the same tactics she used to deal with him to deal with Brother Luo.
He silently made the sign of the cross on his chest and prayed for Brother Luo.
After talking about the money, Xu Yin said sternly: "Uncle, you have been doing very well recently, don't let me down! After buying the house, the next plan is to sell a shop. If you behave well, I will buy one for you."
Time, whatever you earn then is your own. You can calculate how long it will take to marry a wife at this rate."
"Hehe..." Ma Jianbing rubbed his hands, "Don't worry, I fall asleep when I close my eyes now, and when I open my eyes I think about selling cakes at a stall. I don't have time to think about playing cards. Really! I swear! And...
and……"
As he spoke, his ears and neck turned crimson, and he mustered up the courage to admit: "I have fallen in love with a girl..."
Xu Yin understood: "From the textile factory?"
Ma Jianbing scratched his head and nodded: "She comes to me almost every day to buy sesame cakes, and once she even helped me pick up the pliers that fell on the ground..."
Xu Yin listened to her uncle's love story and patted him on the shoulder: "Then keep working hard! Let the girl see that you are down-to-earth."
Ma Jianbing nodded like garlic.
Xu Yin indeed went to Brother Luo to borrow 10,000 yuan.
Apart from Brother Luo, she couldn't think of anyone around her who could afford such a large sum of money.
Of course Brother Luo didn't want to borrow it, but didn't he want to use it? The girl raised her eyebrows and gave him the impression that she was here to cause trouble before she even opened her mouth, so he had to politely lend her 10,000 yuan.
After raising the money, Xu Yin went to Xiao He and bought the three-bedroom apartment.
The original owner maintained the house very well. The walls were painted with light blue paint, and the floor was very bright polished paint. At first glance, it looked like a bright floor. The kitchen and bathroom were covered with white tiles, and they were easy to clean.
It's time to move in.
There are three bedrooms, one for the couple, one for Xu Yin, and one for Xu Xiao. Ma Chunfang wanted to move the bunk beds up so that her uncle and nephew could live together, but Ma Jianbing preferred to live alone in a single room on the first floor. Ma Chunfang
Thinking that there was someone looking after the stove, tricycle, etc., I tidied up the back room of the single room and made it available to my younger brother.
As a family moved things upstairs and downstairs, they naturally couldn't hide it from everyone in Tongzilou.
"What happened to Lao Xu's family? Are they moving again?"
"I heard that I bought a three-bedroom apartment in a high-tech building. I won't move to the front to live in a suite."
"Hey! The old Xu family has made a fortune? I heard from the people in the factory office that the cheapest suite in the high-tech building costs more than 20,000 yuan."
"They originally had two rooms. If they cancel and exchange for a three-bedroom apartment, they shouldn't have to pay much money."
"What! They only vacated one room and kept the one on the first floor. I was originally thinking that if the old Xu family planned to vacate the room on the first floor, I would buy it!"
"What? The one on the first floor has not been withdrawn? So, their family now has a suite and a single room? Wow! The old Xu family is really rich!"
After Jiao Dongmei heard about it, she fell ill again before she could recover from her severe cold.
His forehead was covered with a cooling wet towel, and he groaned: "Ouch! Lao Zhou, we just chose to ask for 20,000 yuan at the beginning! Now you see, everyone can afford to buy a house, just our family...
"
Zhou Quancai also heard about the Xu family's purchase of a house, and felt very uncomfortable. Xu Wuyi was such a worthless person. The daughter-in-law listens to the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law listens to the daughter. He is so incompetent and has no independent opinions.
People actually live a better life than themselves.
The potter's three-bedroom apartment was really nice. When he followed the factory leaders to visit the potter's house, he was particularly envious of it. But he didn't know there was such an opportunity at the time, and now it's too late.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that I made a bad move by spending money to protect my position.
But now it's too late to regret it. Now I go to the boss and tell him that I want to be laid off. Not only will the boss not give me 20,000 yuan in compensation, but he will also have a very bad impression of the couple.
well……
Zhou Quancai let out a long sigh: "Fortunately, we are still employees of the factory. If we don't have the money to buy the house we live in for a while, the factory won't kick us out."
"Then we won't raise money?"
"Where can we raise money? Now everyone is trying to find ways to borrow money, so we can just go to work peacefully. Compared with those laid-off people, our family is pretty good."
Jiao Dongmei pursed her lips, still feeling unwilling.
After all, several little sisters asked her when she was going to the factory to pay the money and go through the formalities. She wanted to save face and just said, "Soon, soon." And now she hasn't gone to go through the formalities. They must have guessed.
Thinking of this, she wailed and lay back on the bed: "I'm not ready yet, please help me take two more days off."
"Please? Then this month's bonus column is probably going to be a big one."
"..."
Jiao Dongmei had no choice but to get better. Her son was about to start school, and tuition, fees, and books were another expense.
"Taotao signed up the day after tomorrow. As soon as the tuition and miscellaneous fees were paid, the gas bill this month was not paid. It was really difficult, so I had to stop Taotao's milk supply first."
"That's the only way it can be."
…
Over there, Xu Yin took her younger brother out to buy a new school bag and a set of stationery, and also bought him two sets of new clothes. There is no hard and fast rule about wearing uniforms in primary schools. One set of uniforms is issued, but only one set is required.
Wear it when raising the national flag on Monday morning or on other important occasions. You are allowed to wear your own clothes at ordinary times.
Xu Xiao was carrying a new schoolbag and a bag of new clothes, feeling extremely excited.
Xu Yin was worried that he would make the same mistake again after school, so she brainwashed him every day: "After school, you must listen to the teacher, listen carefully in class, be friendly to your classmates during class, go home as soon as possible after school, and do not stay outside."
Xu Xiao nodded while listening: "I know, I know."
The two siblings passed by the milk station. Xu Yin suddenly remembered that at his age, he should take more calcium supplements. At that time, he was quite handsome and strong, but he was not tall, so she paused and led her brother into the milk station.
stand.
When Xu Xiao came out, she had a milk order card and a milk storage box for door-to-door delivery. When she went back, she nailed the box to the door of the unit building. The milk station would deliver the day's fresh milk before 6:30 every morning.
Come on, just put the glass bottle back into the milk box after drinking.
"Do you want sister to help?"
"No, no, no, I'll get it myself."
Xu Yin saw that he insisted on taking it by herself, so she simply let him go. These things were not heavy anyway.
"Mom, where is my schoolbag? Haven't you bought me a schoolbag yet?"
Zhou Tao, who was playing with his friends in the patio, saw the new schoolbag Xu Xiao was carrying and ran home enviously.
Only then did Jiao Dongmei remember that her son was going to elementary school and had not bought a schoolbag yet.
"How about I give you your sister's old schoolbag to use first, and wait..."
"I don't want what my sister has carried!" Zhou Tao stamped his feet, "Why do others have new schoolbags but I don't! I want a new schoolbag too! If you don't buy me a new schoolbag, I won't go to school!"
