Chapter 281 Going home to visit parents? It doesn't exist!
At noon, three of Lin Zhen's descendants came to pay New Year's greetings.
After talking for a while, he left without having lunch at home.
Several other section chiefs and directors with good connections wanted to come, but Lin Zhen told them so during the dinner party years ago.
He said that he would go somewhere else to pay New Year greetings, and treating guests to the canteen before the New Year would be regarded as a party.
The reason for this is to keep a low profile.
We can't have a few section chiefs and directors drinking at home all afternoon like last year.
Although I have built momentum for myself, I have also taken risks accordingly.
Now that he has gained power in the steel rolling mill, there is no need to keep a high profile.
You must understand the principle that when water is full, it overflows, and when the moon waxes, it loses.
On the one hand, we need to prevent Deputy Director Li from becoming jealous, and on the other hand, we need to prevent the envious monster in the back from writing a report letter.
Therefore, not even the three apprentices stayed for lunch this year.
Lou Xiao'e felt much more relaxed when there were no guests to eat at home.
I took Xiaolong and Xiaofeng to the backyard to chat. After seeing the changes in Qin Huairu, I was really shocked.
During dinner in the evening, Lou Xiao'e asked curiously: "Master, do you think Qin Huairu has really changed for the better?"
Lin Zhen looked sideways and said, "Why did Madam say this?"
Lou Xiao'e chuckled and said, "I see her true feelings showing in her actions. She changed from the usual moaning and groaning to a down-to-earth and generous person. She actually has the potential to compete with Yuhua."
Lin Zhen said with a smile: "This is a foreign minister, because the situation is isolated and helpless. If there is any difficulty in the courtyard, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will not be able to hide the old state. Madam only sees the surface but does not know the cause and effect. Don't be deceived by it."
"
"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Lin Guo bit his chopsticks with a question mark on his face.
"I don't understand either, but I am definitely related to Aunt Qin." The Lin family said with confidence.
Lin Dong and Lin Liang were just eating meat and did not ask about the affairs between these adults.
Lin Zhen laughed and said: "Children should stop asking about adults' affairs. Eat meat quickly. If you don't, I will give up!"
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "If you want to know what your dad and I said, just study hard, got it?"
The four sons replied happily, "Yeah, I got it!"
Looking at the happy family, Lin Zhen smiled in confusion.
"When my children are older, I will take advantage of the Chinese New Year holiday to change the layout of the house. I will separate a room and move Lin Guolin's bunk bed into it. When summer comes, I will take a chance and dig a sewer at the door.
, connect it to the edge of the pool, and then build a shower house. You can go to the bathhouse in winter, but most of the bathhouses are closed in summer. When the children are older, it is inconvenient to scrub and wash in the house. "
The Lin family was so happy that they clapped their hands, "Dad, can I use the solar water heater you invented to take a shower in the summer?"
"Hahaha, it's still early, but you can use the solar stove to boil water, but it's very hot at that time, so you should be clamoring for a cold shower."
Lou Xiao'e said: "Is it convenient to build a house at the door? Don't embarrass Director Zhao and Aunt Liu from the street office."
"Don't worry, it won't happen. With the second uncle Liu Haizhong building a wooden shed in front of me, no one can fault me for building a shower house. It doesn't matter if I build it with bricks in a decent way. This is called hygiene and improvement.
Physical fitness can also play a leading role."
Lou Xiao'e said happily: "This is great. If we really want to take the lead, the sub-district office will definitely agree to our construction."
Lin Zhen nodded and said: "Just build a small bungalow and put a water storage tank on the roof. Even if a solar water heater cannot be manufactured, painting the water storage tank with black paint and letting it sit in the sun for one day will be enough for our family to take a bath at night."
Lou Xiao'e said: "If you put the water storage tank on the roof, borrow a water pipe to go down, and use a gourd to drill a few holes as nozzles, you can take a shower."
"Hahaha, follow me and look at the drawings every day, and you will learn to design!"
"That's right, it's called red when it's close to vermilion and black when it's close to ink."
The two people thought about the past and planned the future.
As we chatted, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening before we knew it.
The children were already asleep, and in their dreams they were playing and playing with their father in the newly built shower room.
…………
The Spring Festival holiday passed quickly.
Soon it was time to start work again.
Within a few days of going to work, there was news on Liu Guangqi's side.
The reason why he was able to work in the thermos bottle factory was because of the help of an old classmate with whom he had a good relationship.
This classmate’s father works in the logistics department of a thermos bottle factory.
Have certain powers in allocating houses.
It is precisely because of this that he would rather work as an ordinary worker in a thermos bottle factory than wait a few more days to become an electrician.
After years of operation and spending a lot of money, the thermos bottle factory finally gave him a house.
But the location is remote, almost in the suburbs. It is a newly built residential building with a top floor of 35 square meters on the fourth floor, specially designed to accommodate young people who are new to work.
It takes half an hour to get to work by bus, and almost an hour by bicycle.
After Liu Guangqi moved down to his house, he didn't want to stay in the courtyard for a day.
I had to move out overnight that afternoon.
The second aunt said reluctantly: "Guangqi, let's go after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Today is the tenth day of the first lunar month, so there are only a few days left."
"Mom, don't be confused. Can I wait? I spent so much money just for this house. I don't want to live in a wooden shack for a whole day. It could freeze me to death!"
Liu Haizhong frowned and said: "I don't want this kind of house. I have to climb the stairs to the fourth floor every day. It's cold in winter and leaking in summer. It's so far away. It's too inconvenient!"
Dong Xiuni complained: "If the conditions were good, wouldn't he have been moved in earlier? Just giving this to Guangqi is already special care. His job has not been regularized yet. The logistics department came to our hospital to see the wooden shed and only approved it."
.”
Liu Haizhong said: "If you are willing to wait a few more months, there will definitely be a better one. Maybe there will be a courtyard house nearby."
Liu Guangqi sighed and said: "Dad, I would like to find a courtyard house to live on the first floor, but where is it? If you can find one for me, I will move back right away. By the way, I will have a bicycle to ride to work in the future, but now I have no money and no tickets, so I will lend you your bicycle to ride. From now on, you can still walk to and from get off work. Being so close to the steel rolling mill is just for exercise!"
Dong Xiuni said: "Dad, we still have to borrow 200 yuan from you. Guangqi spent a lot of money to get this house. Now his salary is very low and he can't make ends meet!"
Liu Haizhong pursed his lips, thinking that since you came back so long, you haven't spent a penny on food, accommodation, and clothing.
You asked your classmate's father to run the house, but every time it was me who spent the money.
I've already spent two hundred before and after, and this costs another two hundred, and I'll take the bike away.
this……
Alas, forget it, I should give it to Guangqi!
Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and immediately went back to the house to get the money without blinking an eye.
Liu Guangtian was so angry that he stared at the side.
That night, Liu Guangqi moved away with his wife and children.
If he hadn't been too shameless to go back to other places, he wouldn't have taken him to the wooden shed even once.
Now that I have a house, although it is not to my liking, it can be regarded as leaving the courtyard house.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, his whole family did not go home to visit his parents.
Liu Haizhong and his wife moved a small bench and sat at the dismantled wooden shed, staring blankly at the corner.
Looking forward to Liu Guangqi's family suddenly appearing from the corner.
But until after ten o'clock, there was no sign of Liu Guangqi's family.
