Not long after, comrades from the subdistrict office hurried over.
"Since everyone is here, let me say it one last time!"
"The deaf old lady's two houses have been taken back by the steel rolling mill, and now these two houses do not belong to anyone in the compound.
"None of you need to worry about these two houses anymore, and according to the news from the steel rolling mill, these two houses will be allocated next.'
"Do you understand?'
The person in charge of the sub-district office spoke sharply, and when he glanced at everyone in the compound, no one dared to look at him.
Jia and Zhang, who had made the most noise before, now dare not even fart.
The comrade from the sub-district office suddenly raised his voice: "I ask you, do you understand?'
"I understand, I understand.
Everyone in the courtyard nodded, but they felt so aggrieved.
The house that had just been renovated with money was taken back by the steel rolling mill without living in it for a day. If I had known that this would be the result, I would have been a fool to renovate it.
"Comrade, some of us were beaten by Liu Jiacheng!'
Liu Guangtian said aggrievedly from the side.
I originally thought that when the street office came, they would first deal with the matter of Liu Jiacheng's beating, but they stood here for a long time and just kept emphasizing the matter of the house.
How many living people are standing here that you can’t see?
"Liu Jiacheng went to the street office to report this matter to contribute to the steel rolling mill. Not only did you fail to realize your mistake, you also took the initiative to find trouble for Liu Jiacheng.'
"What else do you want me to say?'
"Even if I really pursue this matter, it will be your responsibility."
It was okay for Liu Guangtian not to say anything, but after he said it, he immediately attracted the anger of the street office.
"mom?'
Liu Guangtian was dumbfounded by the scolding and looked at his mother.
What did you say when you went to the street office this time?
To make the street office so angry!
"I didn't say anything."
The second aunt also looked aggrieved.
She just called the street office over. Even she herself didn't know how the street office knew that Liu Guangtian and others took action first.
"What else do you have to say now?'
Looking at the eyes of the director of the sub-district office, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian could only recognize him.
If they really want to continue the investigation, they are really afraid of bad luck!
After the comrades from the street office left, Ms. Jia Zhang started howling again.
"Liu Haizhong, did you say before that you would renovate the house with cement floors?"
"Did you do it on purpose?'
Liu Haizhong was not happy when he heard this: "Jia Zhang, what the hell do you mean? What good does this do to me?'
"You must want to please the street office and become an official.
"Fuck you! If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I'll tear your piece of shit apart.
"Yi Zhonghai, why didn't you say something about the steel rolling mill taking back the house? Did you do it on purpose?"
"How do I know? If I knew, would I still pay for the renovation?'
"I think you did it on purpose! You thought we had robbed the deaf old lady's house, so you thought of using this method to retaliate against us.'
Everyone in the courtyard began to attack each other because of their own selfish interests. The scene... was as ugly as it could be.
"Jia Cheng, do you think these two steel rolling mills will be separated immediately?" Lou Xiao'e asked. "It's hard to say!
"I just hope there will be some normal people coming next.'
There are enough beasts in the compound now. If there is another family of beasts,
Then this compound can be said to be... unimaginable!
"Do you think the steel rolling mill will give us the two houses left by the deaf old lady?" Lou Xiao'e asked with a slight smile and squinted eyes.
"Are you drunk?"
"The two of us already have two houses, which are a lot of houses in the compound. "How can the steel rolling mill give us two more houses now?'
Liu Jiacheng shook his head.
Housing is still very tight in this era.
The reason why he has two houses in the compound is because his mother, a worker in the steel rolling mill, left it behind.
"That's right!"
Lou Xiao'e didn't think much about it.
Because the power distribution box for the compound has not yet been distributed, Liu Jiacheng took Lou Xiaoe out for a ride on his bicycle this weekend.
In this way...you don't have to listen to the neighbors in the compound arguing with each other about the house.
The other side.
"Let them quarrel.'
Yan Bugui sat in the room, fanning the cattail leaf fan, drinking tea leisurely.
"Lao Yan, do you have any other ideas?"
The third aunt and Yan Bugui have lived together for decades, and she still knows her husband very well.
Yan Bugui was originally cheerful, but when he heard the third aunt talking like this, he immediately became serious: "What are you talking about? What are you talking about?"
"Okay, Lao Yan!'
"Why don't you just tell me what you think?"
The third aunt asked impatiently.
"I just took advantage of others not paying attention and asked the sub-district office. They said that the quota for the compound house allocation at the steel rolling mill has not yet been determined.'
Yan Bugui narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his face was full of calculations.
"What does this have to do with us?
The third aunt asked with a confused look on her face.
"I said why are you so stupid?
"Now that the allocated quota has not been released, it means that we also have a chance."
Yan Bugui knew very well that when the sub-district office intervened in this matter, their previous allocation method of once every six months would be completely useless.
There is no way this house can be shared with them!
but!
It can be taken as your own!
"Lao Yan, I think you are confused.'
"That house actually belongs to a steel rolling mill. Even if it is allocated, we won't have a share.'
The third aunt said next to her
"The house our family lives in belongs to a steel rolling mill. Why haven't they kicked me out after I've been a teacher for so many years?'
"After the childless Uncle Li died in the compound next door, the person who lived in the compound next door was a worker from a lumber factory."
"There is no absolute in this matter. As long as we strive for it, we will definitely have a chance." "The rules are all set by people!"
Yanbu Guisheng was afraid that others would hear him, so he became more and more careful about what he said.
Let this group of people make noise outside, and wait until he gets these two houses and they will be envious.
"Do you want to give a gift?" asked the third aunt.
"What kind of gift should I give you?"
"What I plan to do is to go to the principal tomorrow, tell us the specific situation of our family, and try to get the school to give me a competitive spot.'
Yan Jiecheng immediately shook his head when he heard this: "You can throw it away! There are so many teachers in this school, why should we give this place to our family?"
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute!'
"I think you just didn't wake up after being beaten by Liu Jiacheng. Go back to your room quickly.'
"After I get these two houses, I won't have any of them for you."
Yan Bugui's face suddenly turned ugly after being poured a basin of cold water on him.
"If you don't want it, don't want it. I don't care about it.'
Yan Jiecheng left in a hurry.
He really didn't believe that his family could be so lucky, let alone that his father could be so capable.
"Lao Yan, stop showing off. Do you have any other tricks?" asked the third aunt.
"It's better that you understand me and don't want the boss to be such a brat!"
Yan Bugui chuckled and immediately revealed his next move.
Soon their school will be selecting outstanding teachers, and the teaching director said he has a chance to participate in the selection this time.
As long as he is selected as an outstanding teacher this time, he can go to the principal and tell him how difficult it is for five members of his family to live in a small room.
The principal might actually help him apply for a housing allocation.
After listening, the third aunt frowned.
So unreliable!
Or rather whimsical!
No matter how much I thought about it, I thought it was impossible.
"What do you mean?'
Yan Bugui suddenly became unhappy after seeing the look on the third aunt's face.
"never mind!'
"I'll figure it out myself.
The other side.
Jia Zhang took her money and counted it over and over again.
After living separately from Qin Huairu, nearly half of her pension fund has been spent.
Especially when everyone in the compound recently donated money to renovate the two houses left by the deaf old lady, she also gave up a dollar in order to get them.
Thinking about it now makes me feel bad!
When they first separated, she felt quite happy and could eat whatever she wanted. She even ate eggs for two days before.
But after this period of time, she became more and more panicked!
Ms. Jia Zhang is not a fool. If this continues, sooner or later her money will be wasted. What should she do?
"Are you running out of money?'
Qin Huairu sat on the other bed and said.
This is the first time Qin Huairu has taken the initiative to talk to Jia Zhang since the family separation. "I want you to take care of it!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang rolled her eyes at Qin Huairu and placed her pension fund at the bottom of her small wooden box again.
"Can you still survive this year with this money?"
"I'm afraid it can't be done!'
"If you want to live together now, it's still possible, think about it.'
Qin Huairu took the initiative to let go.
Qin Huairu knew exactly how much money Jia and Zhang had in total and how much they spent every day.
As long as Jia Zhang’s current pension can be delayed until the Chinese New Year this winter, she loses!
"Qin Huairu, what do you mean?"
Jia Zhang's attitude softened instantly. In fact, it was not that she had never thought about this matter.
But because she initiated the separation of the family and she was the mother-in-law, she really couldn't lose face.
"You can understand what I mean. Anyway, I have already said it here.
After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she continued to feed the child.
Jia Zhang hesitated for a long time and did not speak, but she made a move. She combined the things she had given out with Qin Huairu's things.
Although he didn't say a word, Jia Zhang's meaning was already clear.
"It's okay to spend time together, but I have to say it beforehand.'
"Your pension will be used to support your family, and you will have to take care of your children in the future.
Qin Huairu would not allow Jia Zhang to eat and drink here in vain. She was not only concerned about Jia Zhang's remaining tens of dollars in pension funds, but also wanted her to work in this home.
After hearing these words, Jia Zhang's expression suddenly became serious again, and she took her things and returned to the other side of the room.
Qin Huairu's face was calm and she was still sitting on the bed feeding her child.
Not long after, Jia Zhang came over and glared at Qin Huairu: "You are so cruel!" After saying that, Jia Zhang put her things together with Qin Huairu's. Seeing Jia Zhang
Zhang compromised, and Qin Huairu showed a winner's smile.
She knew that Jia Zhang had no choice!
Now that both Jia Dongxu and his son are dead, if Jia Zhang doesn't rely on her, she won't be able to live well in the future.
‘Where’s the money?’
Qin Huairu asked calmly.
Jia Zhang was so out of breath that after being stunned for a long time, she could only take out the last few dozen dollars from the bottom of her exclusive small wooden box, and then slapped Qin Huairu's bedside heavily: "All for you.
!'
Qin Huairu picked up the money next to her and counted it...
A total of fifty-two dollars and fifty-three cents!
"There's more.'
Since Qin Huairu asked Jia Zhang to take out all the money, she would not let Jia Zhang keep any small treasury.
"Qin Huairu, you...
Jia Zhang's head was buzzing with anger.
What she originally thought was that if she kept a few dollars, she could use them to save lives later when Qin Huairu left her alone.
Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu even knew that she had left five yuan.
"Qin Huairu, are you counting my money at home?" Jia Zhang asked.
"Forget it if you don't want to live together.
Qin Huairu put Jia Zhang's money on the bedside again, without even answering Jia Zhang's words.
The reason why she knew that Jia Zhang didn't teach him all the money was because she accurately calculated Jia Zhang's pension.
"OK!"
"Qin Huairu, you are so cruel!'
Jia Zhang was completely at her wits' end.
Now for the first time, she felt like being manipulated by Qin Huairu.
But now she has nothing to do with Qin Huairu.
Jia Zhang took out another five yuan from her wooden box and slapped it on the bedside: "This is the last five yuan!"
Qin Huairu put the money away and said with a slight smile: "Today we will eat Erhe noodle steamed buns for lunch. Qin Huairu calculated carefully and found that the money should be about the same.
Even if Jia and Zhang had a small tail, the price would not exceed fifty cents at most.
Qin Huairu took the money and felt like the hostess of the Jia family for the first time!
From now on, Mr. Jia and Zhang will no longer be able to ride on her head!
A few days later.
The news about the allocation of houses in the steel rolling mill spread to the compound.
“The quota has come down so quickly?
"Old Liu, where did you hear about this?'
Yan Bugui was completely stunned.
This house was allocated before his place was completely ready.
"Where else could I have heard it? The workshop director of the steel rolling mill said it during a chat." Liu Haizhong also looked unhappy.
When he thought that the house they had worked so hard for several days to renovate was so unwelcome, he now wanted to bite his new neighbor to death.
"Liu Haizhong, who are these two houses allocated to?'
"Yeah, who is living in our backyard?'
"What exactly did the workshop director say?'
Everyone in the courtyard asked.
Yi Zhonghai even listened with open ears.
He wants to know more than anyone who is the new neighbor who is about to move into the compound.
Maybe this new neighbor can give him another alternative for retirement.
"The director didn't say anything, and I didn't ask any more questions."
If it were in the past, Liu Haizhong would have shamelessly gone up to talk to the workshop director.
But since the subdistrict office said that he would not be allowed to become an official in the future, Liu Haizhong's heart about becoming an official died.
Even though he was an official in the steel rolling mill, he still had to come to the sub-district office to investigate his behavior in the compound. Now that he couldn't pass the test at the sub-district office, he had no hope at all.
