Chapter 115 Li Ermeng's Family and New Neighbor Tong Li's Mother and Daughter
The life trajectory in the courtyard continues, but some changes have occurred. In the front yard, Li Ermeng's family, whom Lin Jiuguo is familiar with, are also leaving.
Like Liu Shun, he was transferred to another place and had to move.
While drinking and smoking, Lin Jiaguo felt a little more sad.
"It's not like we can't see each other again. Your boy is doing well now. I can rest assured after you and Uncle Li leave."
As Li Ermeng spoke, he had a drink with Lin Jiaguo. Lin Jiaguo drank it all in one gulp. There was no need to say anything else. This difference is not based on human will.
Two days later, Li Ermeng's family left. Shitou's children burst into tears and couldn't bear to leave their friends.
After seeing off his family, Lin Jiaguo returned to the courtyard, looked at the empty room, sighed, and went to have a drink with Nan Yi.
Li Xiuzhi is also a little sad. After she got married, she got along very well with Li Ermeng's family. Now that they have left, she always feels that something is missing.
If the Lin family was feeling sad, then some people in the courtyard had some thoughts because of the departure of Li Ermeng and his family.
People moved away, leaving two empty houses, one big and one small. Some people in the courtyard were wondering if they could apply.
The third uncle, Yan Bugui, is one of the representatives. Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng, the couple, can apply.
Seeing them busy with this matter, Lin Jiaguo just looked at it. He didn't have the intention, and more importantly, he didn't meet the conditions.
With this limelight, Ms. Jia Zhang from Zhongyuan is also a little excited. Not only can she apply for two houses, but even one house is quite good.
She asked Qin Huairu to also ask to see if this was possible. Although Qin Huairu felt that her family did not meet the conditions, she still wanted to ask. If it really happened, it would be the best.
Because of this incident, there was a sense of tension in the courtyard, and people like the Lin family could only watch the show from the side.
"Which family do you think has a chance?" The two were playing chess when Nan Yi asked. Lin Jiaguo shook his head and said: "Yu Li and his wife should have a greater chance. After all, they are married and have separated their households.
We still have to wait to apply for the right to live in that building. The two of them have just started working, and it’s not yet their turn to be allocated rooms in the unit.”
Nan Yi nodded. The housing problem is very tense. It is like a carrot and a pit. When allocating units, families with real difficulties must first be considered. Those like Yu Li and his wife who still have a place to live have to wait.
.
While the two were talking, the third uncle, Yan Bugui, walked in from outside the courtyard gate with a dark face.
Seeing the two of them playing chess, he came over and complained: "You think Qin Huairu's family is joining in the fun? We are still a long way from getting married!"
Hearing this, both Lin Jiaguo and Nan Yi were a little surprised. Qin Huairu's family did not meet the conditions for redistribution of houses.
"Third uncle, if this does not meet the conditions, the street office will not consider it, right?" Nanyi said, why is the third uncle Yan Bugui angry? The staff at the subdistrict office will not consider this kind of thing.
There must be office standards.
The third uncle, Yan Bugui, sat down and said with a twitch of the corner of his mouth: "It doesn't meet the conditions, but her family applied for a house. When other people saw it, they also imitated her. No, now it's a mess."
Upon hearing this, the two of them understood why the third uncle Yan Bugui had a black face. He originally wanted to swallow the fat in one gulp, but now he may have to spit out half of it. It would be strange if he didn't have a black face.
"No, I have to go to the street and have a look." The third uncle Yan Bugui thought for a while, then got up and went out again.
The two shrugged and continued to play chess, just watching the fun.
Halfway through the chess game, I saw Lou Xiao'e carrying something, Li Xiuzhi and Liang Ladi walking in, her face flushed.
After saying hello, Lou Xiao'e entered the house, and after a while, she walked out with San Pang in her arms.
"Sister E, what good thing happened to you today?" Lin Jiaguo asked. Both of them could feel her happiness in such a high-spirited manner.
Lou Xiao'e kissed the three fat men and said with a smile: "Two great chefs, I will ask you for a favor in a while."
She often comes to the courtyard and is very familiar with Nanyi's family, so she doesn't need to be so polite when speaking.
"Okay, how can I help you?" Nan Yi laughed and made a move. Lin Jiaguo was also very curious.
"Of course I'm asking you to cook." Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "I'm getting married, so I want you two to help cook a few dishes."
Both of them were stunned when they heard this, and then laughed when they reacted. Lin Jiaguo looked at Lou Xiao'e and said, "Sister E, is that Gao Ping?"
"Well, that's him." Lou Xiao'e didn't have the shyness of a little girl. She had gone through everything she had to go through, so there was nothing to be shy about.
Looking at her, Lin Jiaguo and Nan Yi both laughed. Due to frequent contact, they also knew Gao Ping. That man was a retired soldier and very decent.
"Girl E, have you thought about it?" The old lady came out and asked with a smile.
"Well, after thinking about it carefully, he is really nice." Lou Xiao'e nodded and smiled, and then said: "He is widowed, I am divorced, and he is three years older than me, so it is very suitable."
Several people nodded slightly. They all knew Gao Ping's situation. He was widowed and had no children, and his family only had a veteran father who had lost his hand. After he retired, he worked in the security department of a large factory, and the conditions were really good.
After kissing the third fat man, she smiled again and said: "We have decided on a date. Tomorrow, he will come and personally ask you two chefs for a favor."
"I'm going to invite your family here, and he's going to invite some comrades over there."
Everyone laughed. Lin Jiaguo looked at Lou Xiao'e. This could be considered the biggest change for her.
After solving the situation at her home, even if the storm comes, it will not affect her. Now that she is married to Gao Ping, she has an extra layer of protection, and with her current job, it is even safer.
After looking at Lou Xiao'e, Lin Jiaguo looked at Nan Yi again. This guy will also encounter problems in the future, but the good thing is that this guy is a very skilled chef. As long as he gets the workers in the factory
People's hearts and minds, many things have been mostly solved.
"Sister E, you won't be alone in the future." Li Xiuzhi looked at her teasing the three fat men and said with a smile: "You have to give birth to children as soon as possible. You have promised to have these three big ones, but now the big one has not been solved.
, the baby in my belly is coming again, you have to hurry up."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone laughed. Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Don't worry, we can't solve them all. One or two will be no problem."
"When the time comes, I will give birth to four or five children, and one or two of them must be girls. When the time comes, let San Fatty and his brothers snatch them away."
Everyone smiled, as the topic reached this point, there was a lot to talk about. As they talked, they all came to the issue of family separation when the children grow up.
"Jiaguo, you have to work hard. You already have three ready-made houses. Xiuzhi still has some in her belly. You, the father, will still have a headache when the time comes. Otherwise, your three houses won't be enough."
.”
Lou Xiao'e joked, and Lin Jiaguo shook his head and laughed. This matter was not a problem for him. When there are more people who want to go abroad in the future, they will take the opportunity to buy quadrangle houses at the lowest price and ensure that several children can live in three houses.
When he mentioned the house, he talked about the things that were currently being debated in the courtyard. Lou Xiaoe suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you sure there are no arrangements on the other side of the street yet?"
Several people nodded, and Lou Xiao'e suddenly smiled and said: "It seems that today's trip was not in vain, and it also solved a problem for me."
Hearing this, several people were stunned. Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "You all know my work well. No, I just had a headache these days as to how to help Tong Li and her daughter apply for a house to live in as soon as possible. Now it's better.
, ready-made is in this courtyard."
With that said, he handed the three fat men to Lin Jiaguo and said: "I have to go to the street to settle this matter as soon as possible, and it will save me a headache."
Lin Jiaguo picked up the third fat man and asked: "Sister E, what's going on? Isn't the work you are responsible for family members' business? They all should have a house, right?"
Several people also nodded and became curious. Lou Xiao'e sighed and said: "It's also pitiful. Her husband was also a retired soldier. He passed away due to illness. In order to treat the illness, he owed a lot of debt, but he still didn't keep him."
"Most of the money was borrowed from her comrades. Now that they are gone, Tong Li has to pay it back. Originally, her husband's comrades said that she did not need to pay back the money she borrowed from them. She just asked Tong Li to pay back the money to the people in the village.
, but Tong Li refused."
"She said that the money must be repaid, otherwise she would not feel at ease. She came to the city and asked her husband's comrades to write IOUs, and agreed to pay them back slowly."
"With her persistence, her husband's comrades had no choice but to write IOUs to her."
Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e sighed and said: "Tong Li is so insistent that her husband's comrades want to help. After all, they all know the situation of their old comrades."
"Both parties had no relatives left and were helpless, so her husband's comrades in arms tried to bring the mother and daughter to the city, thinking of finding a job for her so that she could support the family and pay off the debt at the same time.
"
"You know, if you want to pay back more than 200 yuan while living in the countryside, it will only crush the mother and daughter."
Everyone looked a little sad when they heard it. It was true that a patient could bring down a family. Fortunately, her husband's comrades still remembered this, otherwise it could really bring down a person.
Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e showed a sincere smile and said: "Only after I did this job did I understand the feelings between soldiers. In some ways, they are really closer than brothers."
Everyone nodded, this is a fact, especially those who have experienced life and death together, and each can take bullets for the other. How can such a relationship not be deep?
"Now Tong Li's work problem has been solved, but the house problem still needs to be solved, so I thought of solving it for them. After all, this is also my job."
"Originally, I thought that after I got married to Gao Ping, I would rent my house to my mother and daughter, and then I would charge less money."
"Now that I can find a vacant house, I have to consider her. With the house, the mother and daughter can feel more at ease. After all, the rented house is theirs, which makes them feel at ease."
The old lady nodded, sighed and said: "Girl, go and settle this matter as soon as possible. If you need help from me, an old lady, I will go and speak."
Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e nodded with a smile and said, "Old lady, this matter is not a big problem as long as there are vacancies."
After saying that, she left in a furious manner. Several people shook their heads and laughed. Lin Jiaguo handed Nan Yi a cigarette and lit one himself.
"Sister E really did this job with some momentum." Li Xiuzhi laughed and joked: "There are so many people standing behind her here now."
Several people laughed when they heard this, but that's just the way it is.
"It's just that the third uncle is afraid that he will be disappointed again this time. He won't hold a grudge because of it." Liang Ladi said softly.
"Who knows!" Lin Jiaguo smiled slightly, narrowed his eyes and said, "But even if I hold a grudge, I don't dare to do anything."
"Indeed!" Nan Yi also laughed, exhaled a puff of smoke, and lowered his voice: "If this thing is really going to be done, the other side of the street will naturally give an explanation. Even if he has ideas in his heart, he will naturally
Don’t dare to do anything.”
Everyone nodded. The third uncle, Yan Bugui, was quite capable of calculations, but there were some things that he could handle clearly.
While they were talking here, Lou Xiaoe had already arrived at the subdistrict office. She was already familiar with this place because of her work.
After finding Director Lin and talking about the matter, Director Lin naturally knew what was going on and quickly made a decision to ask Lou Xiao'e to get the letter of introduction.
In the evening, Director Lin led the way, followed by Lou Xiaoe and a group of people, and arrived at the courtyard.
After entering the hospital, the third uncle Yan Bugui saw the situation and immediately had a bad feeling.
"Comrade Tong Li, these are the two rooms." Director Lin introduced, and a woman in her thirties looked at the room and thanked her repeatedly.
The others were also very satisfied with it, and one person said to Tong Li: "Sister-in-law, let's buy you some second-hand furniture first. From now on, you and Xiaoya will settle here."
With that said, before Tong Li could say anything, a few people left first. Tong Li's eyes turned red when she saw them, but she didn't stop them. She should repay this kindness slowly in the future.
Lin Jiaguo and the others heard the commotion and came out. Lou Xiao'e introduced them with a smile, and Tong Li took the little girl Xiaoya to say hello one by one.
Everyone responded with a smile. When the third uncle Yan Bugui saw it, he came to Director Lin and said softly: "Director, are these two houses divided between the mother and daughter?"
Director Lin nodded, knowing what Yan Bugui was thinking, and said: "Your family, Yan Jiecheng, can apply for a building, but it will take time."
Hearing this, the third uncle Yan Bugui was completely heartbroken. He wanted to say that it was enough for the mother and daughter to share one house, and there was another house.
Seeing the change in his expression, Director Lin also thought of something and said meaningfully: "Old Yan, if we really have to settle on your son and daughter-in-law's house, then the young couple will not be able to apply for the building."
As soon as these words came out, the third uncle Yan Bugui quickly realized, yes, if he is worried about a house, then the young couple will not be eligible to apply.
Thinking of this, the third uncle Yan Bugui was no longer disappointed. Just wait and wait. When the time comes, the building the young couple applies for will at least be much larger than a house.
"Director, I understand!"
Seeing that he understood, Director Lin said: "You are the third uncle in this courtyard. The matters in this house must be explained clearly to some people in the courtyard. I know some people will make harsh words, but there are some things that we should not make trouble."
It's so good."
As he said that, Director Lin looked at the people who were helping Tong Li and her daughter busy in the room. The third uncle, Yan Bugui, looked over and understood immediately.
Director Lin's meaning is already very clear. Some people in the hospital had better not make sarcastic remarks about this matter. Although Tong Li and her daughter are orphans and widowers, they also have friends, and they are friends who are not easy to mess with.
.
"Director, don't worry, I will explain this matter clearly." Third Master Yan Bugui promised. Director Lin nodded with satisfaction. He was very annoyed by some things in the hospital, so he explained this matter.
Soon, everyone in the courtyard knew about the newly moved mother and daughter Tong Li. The first uncle Yi Zhonghai and the second uncle Liu Haizhong also came to express their welcome. Director Lin also took the opportunity to speak clearly, and these two people naturally understood
Already.
"What does this mean? There are two people in the same house, mother and daughter, and there are so many people in our family." Jia Zhang muttered, and she felt very unhappy at first glance. Qin Huairu heard this and said softly: "Mom, this matter is settled.
,Freeze said."
Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted. She originally thought that there was no chance for a big house, but it was possible for a small house. But now, there is no chance at all.
After watching for a while, everyone dispersed. After Lou Xiao'e and her gang helped to buy most of the things, they left amid Tong Li's thanks.
As soon as they left, Li Xiuzhi came over with a smile and said, "Aunt Tong, you can't turn on the fire at your house today. Let's go to my house for a meal first, as a way to welcome the new neighbors."
She was originally going to call her sister, but when she thought of Tong Li's age, Li Xiuzhi called her aunt.
Hearing this, Tong Li was about to refuse. Lou Xiao'e next to her smiled and said: "Listen to Xiuzhi, we are all neighbors. It's nothing to just have a meal."
When she said this, Tong Li didn't refuse. When she came to the new place, she got along better with her neighbors and her life went more smoothly.
The mother and daughter followed Li Xiuzhi to the house. Xiaoya, the girl, was a little reserved and said hello. Several people responded with smiles. The old lady took her hand and sat down, smiling: "This little girl is so beautiful."
The people in Lin Jiaguo laughed. The old lady really didn't say nice things. Mother and daughter are very similar. Tong Li is also very good-looking, but the white hair on her head and the tiredness on her face cover up her appearance.
.
Everyone sat down to eat, and Lou Xiao'e, a person familiar to both parties, was there. After a while, the conversation started to get easier, and the two of them became less reserved.
After finishing the meal, Nanyi's family came over after a while. We chatted for a while and became more familiar with each other.
Seeing Xiaoya running out to play with Xiu'er, Tong Li looked worried. Li Xiuzhi smiled and said: "Aunt Tong, it's okay. I guess she went to the backyard to find Liu Siyuan."
Listening, Tong Li felt relieved and sighed: "This girl has been bored since her father died. Fortunately, when she came to the city, her uncles and aunts enlightened her, and she smiled again."
When everyone heard this, they also sighed. Xiaoya is already ten years old, so she can naturally remember many things.
"Don't worry, I have playmates in this hospital, and I will have classmates when I go to school, and things will get better gradually." The old lady comforted her, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, as an old lady like me, she has a family, a country, and a family.
Come on, from now on, there will be a few people named Lin in our courtyard, so we can't bully her."
