Chapter 25 25 cups of green tea
Tong Xuelu saw that it was still early, so she didn’t rush back, looking for a house in the city.
Later, I changed jobs with Su Xiuying. The family of four must move to the urban area, and the state-owned hotel does not provide housing.
The house Su Xiuying lives in is not part of He Baogen’s unit, but his own house. When she sells the work station, the house should be sold along with it.
Even if Su Xiuying doesn’t sell the house, she doesn’t want to rent the house with her.
Because that yard is more dilapidated and cramped than the family compound. When I entered the yard, it was full of dangling things and it was messy.
She wants to change to a place where there is privacy, and she doesn’t have to worry about the eyes of others without having to cook something.
And she doesn’t like the group of indifferent neighbors, so if she had a choice, she would not rent with Su Xiuying.
Since you are going to work in a state-owned hotel, the best place to live is near the hotel.
After Tong Xuelu made up his mind, he went to the area south of the city.
Unlike later generations, the houses in Beijing are now dense and low, and there is no plan to speak of.
And most of the houses are old houses, and the family lives together for several generations, let alone rented out or sold, and there is not enough space for themselves.
Tong Xuelu walked the surrounding residential areas and asked many people, but he did not see a rental house.
She couldn’t help but miss the small advertisements and real estate agencies all over the street in modern times.
Later, after an aunt’s guidance, she was asked to go to the housing management office to ask if there was a house that was sold or rented out.
It was almost noon now, and she hurried to the housing management office for fear that the people from the housing management office would be off work.
When she came to the housing management office, she was about to step in, but she ran into a man who came out of it.
The opponent was tall and magnificent. Although she didn’t have gold stars when she bumped her head, her forehead was also aching.
But it was the person she hit, and she consciously apologized: “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it, are you okay?”
Just as Xiao Chengping was about to say it was okay, he suddenly saw her face, he said “Huh” and bent down to stare at her face.
Tong Xuelu felt offended and felt uncomfortable.
But before she could speak, the other party pointed at her and called out: “It’s you, crying!”
Painful crying bag?
What the hell?
Tong Xuelu frowned and raised her eyes to look at the opposite man.
I saw a tall and burly man standing in front of me, with a flat head, small eyes and a big nose, and his facial features were not very coordinated.
But this is not a problem. The problem is that this person looks familiar, but she can’t remember it for a while.
“Sorry, you confessed to the wrong person!”
After she had passed him, she was about to go in.
Xiao Chengping stopped her: “It’s impossible to admit the wrong person! It’s you, Tong Xuelu!”
Tong Xuelu looked at each other seriously, and finally remembered who the other party was.
Xiao Chengping, the son of the head of the General Logistics Department, was four years older than the original owner and grew up in a courtyard.
Xiao Chengping has grown tall since he was a child. He is a bully in the family compound. He likes to bully children in the same compound the most.
Among them, the original owner was the worst bullied by him. Later, he cried as soon as he saw him, so he got the nickname Pain Cry Bag.
A few years ago, Xiao Chengping went to the army to serve in the army, but he hasn’t come back for two years. He looks a lot longer than before. In addition, the original owner’s memory is only Fang Wenyuan alone, so she didn’t recognize him immediately after seeing him .
Xiao Chengping watched her not speak, his small eyes stared: “Tong Xuelu why are you silent, don’t you remember me?”
“I don’t remember! There are good dogs who don’t stand in the way, go away, and if you don’t go away, I will go to the army to report you as a hooligan!”
After that, Tong Xuelu ignored him again and walked past him directly.
Xiao Chengping looked like a toothache: “This crying bag, she didn’t remember me, how did she know that I was in the army? I didn’t expect it, but after only two years, she turned from a crying bag to a small child. chili!”
The man next to him said: “Cousin, who is that woman? How to say so harsh and mean, I actually call you a dog, do you want me to go in and teach her a few words?”
Xiao Chengping glanced at him with a low gaze, “What lesson do you teach? Do you treat yourself as a bandit?”
Cousin: “???”
Xiao Chengping snorted, “Remember that you are a man, with a bigger belly, and you care about being like a lady, don’t you feel ashamed?”
Cousin: “…”
OK, when he talks too much!
When he said nothing, you are happy!
Xiao Chengping glanced inside, and suddenly said, “Weird, how did the guy crying come to the housing management office? Does she want to buy a house?”
Cousin: “Cousin, do you want me to go in and inquire secretly?”
Xiao Chengping raised his eyebrows: “Why are you secretly inquiring? What are you pretending to be in your mind all day? You have to be open and upright, what kind of sneaky look like!”
Cousin: “…”
From this moment on he does not! Say! That’s it!
Talking about him is a dog! !
**
Tong Xuelu went into the housing management office and explained his intentions to the clerks.
The clerk was a twenty-seven-year-old woman, with a pair of eyes swept across Tong Xuelu’s white face.
With an indifferent and arrogant expression: “There is no house for rent, but there are houses for sale. Are you ready for the money?”
Tong Xuelu took out two white rabbit toffee from the army bag and handed it over, smiling: “Little sister, you can find such a good job at such a young age. It’s really enviable!”
Zou Fangyun was stunned for a moment, and then a touch of shyness appeared on his face: “What are you talking about? My son is seven or eight years old, why do you still call me my little sister?”
Tong Xuelu looked surprised: “No? Your skin is white and shiny. I thought you were one or two years younger than me. How do you maintain it?”
Zou Fangyun was shy and proud: “Where is there any maintenance? To be serious, my skin has been very white since I was a child. Before I went out, people still didn’t believe that I had a son that old!”
Tong Xuelu has a sincere expression: “I don’t believe it for me! And I heard that women will grow old very quickly after giving birth, but you can’t tell that they have given birth!”
Zou Fangyun touched his face and smiled into a flower: “By the way, what kind of house did you say you want to buy? I think you are not very old, so why did you come to see the house by yourself?”
Tong Xue pursed her green lips, her eyes flushed: “I don’t want to come here alone. It’s just that my parents had an accident a few months ago. Now I am the oldest at home, and the youngest sister below me is only three years old. Should I carry it alone?”
When Zou Fangyun heard this, his nose was sour: “It’s not easy for you at a young age.”
Tong Xuelu wiped away the tears that had fallen, and said with a nasal voice: “Who is easy these days, and you still have to live, right? I’m going to change jobs with someone recently and come to work in a state-owned hotel in the city. , So I want to rent a house nearby.”
When Zou Fangyun heard that she was in a state-owned hotel, his eyes lit up: “Is your job in a state-owned hotel stable?”
Tong Xuelu nodded: “Naturally, it is stable, but the other party still has some things that have not been handled properly. It will take another week or two to change it with me.”
It is very decent to be able to work in a state-run hotel these days. If there are relatives and friends working in a state-run hotel, it is also a very face-to-face thing.
Especially when you want to invite people to a restaurant, if you have an acquaintance in a state-owned restaurant, you can ask the other party to save some good meals. That’s a matter of saving face!
Zou Fangyun had a good deal with Tong Xuelu: “You have a good job, and you must change it. As for the place to live, there is no rent, but there are a few of them sold this month. Do you have time to go there and see if you have time? ?”
Tong Xuelu took a look at the time and said: “It’s almost time to get off work for dinner now. Why don’t we ask my eldest sister to have lunch at a state-owned restaurant, and we will see the house later?”
Zou Fangyun quickly refused: “No way, no way, state-owned hotels are so expensive, how can I let you please!”
If the other party has no parents and needs to raise younger siblings, why would she be embarrassed to ask the other party to ask.
But Tong Xuelu insisted on inviting her and took her to the state-owned hotel.
If you want others to do things for you, you must be considerate.
Some money has to be spent, which is her style of doing things.
When the two came out of the housing management office, Xiao Chengping had already left.
Tong Xuelu and Zou Fangyun finally went to the state-owned restaurant, and each ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles.
Although the supply of state-owned restaurants is not much and the choices are very simple, but the portion is very large and will not be falsified, and the two eat full belly.
After eating, Zou Fangyun’s attitude towards Tong Xuelu became more enthusiastic, and he treated her as a real sister.
She didn’t go back to rest at noon, and took Tong Xuelu to see the houses that were now being sold.
**
At this time, there are few houses for sale, it can be said that there are almost no houses.
Many of the houses that people live in are from previous homes, or they are divided by units, and often there are not enough houses in the family, so they will be sold out.
Besides, the house of the unit cannot be sold out. If you want to sell it, you can only sell it to people in the same unit. Therefore, it is impossible to buy a house without personal connections.
Zou Fangyun took Tong Xuelu to see three houses.
The two houses in front were so dilapidated that Tong Xuelu suspected that they would collapse at any time. The key location is not good, but the price is not low.
Tong Xuelu vetoed it without even thinking about it.
The third room is an independent courtyard.
There are four rooms with independent kitchens and toilets. The rooms are spacious and bright, and each room is sunny and ventilated, and there is no dark room.
The house is not dilapidated, and the location is very good. It is far away from the main road, and you can’t hear the noise outside when the door is closed.
This house simply grew out of Tong Xuelu’s aesthetic!
“Sister Fangyun, this house shouldn’t be cheap, right?”
Zou Fangyun held a palm: “I want this number!”
One palm costs five thousand yuan!
Tong Xuelu couldn’t help but be speechless.
The Tong Dajun and his wife received a pension of 1,000 yuan, which was sold to the Xu family’s work station for 380 yuan, half of which was given to the people in Beihe’s hometown.
In the last period of time, in order to make Xie Jin spend them “corrupt”, she took the initiative to give a lot of money. After calculating, she still has more than one thousand one hundred.
How can I buy it if I don’t even get half of it!
Zou Fangyun said, “Sister, you and I introduced the house. If someone else, I might not bring it here! The house was paid by the former big capitalist, but you don’t have to worry about problems later. Now this house belongs to the government. Under the name, there is no problem at all.”
“It’s just that many people are afraid and worried that they will be taken back by the government someday, so they didn’t sell it, but if they stay for one or two months at most, they will definitely be bought!”
Her man’s family doesn’t have that much money, otherwise she would have bought it.
“Sister Fangyun, this house is too expensive. I can’t get so much money in my hand. I’m really sorry that it takes up so much of your time.”
Tong Xuelu’s mood at this time is like taking two hundred yuan to visit the LV store, that worry.
Zou Fangyun waved his hand: “What are you polite to sister, but you can’t buy a house, where do you want to live in the future?”
Tong Xuelu sighed: “Let’s look back, there will always be a way.”
The last way is to rent a house with Su Xiuying.
**
On the way back, Tong Xuelu became a little depressed.
She liked the house so much. As for things like being taken back by the government, she didn’t worry at all. The problem was that she couldn’t spend so much money!
Now that the economy is still two years away, it is impossible for her to get a lot of money in a short time.
She was able to get some food and sell it on the black market like many seniors who crossed it, but going to the black market can only be regarded as a small mess, without space and cheats, it is impossible to make four thousand yuan in a short period of time.
Come on, let’s go, her ultimate belonging is to rent a house with Su Xiuying.
After eating dinner that night, Tong Xuelu told Tong Jiaming that she was about to change jobs soon.
“I have changed jobs in a state-owned hotel with someone in the city. I will find another house when the time comes. We will move in together. Do you have any problems here?”
Tong Jiaming was surprised when he heard the words.
The state-owned hotel is a decent job, and many people can’t get in if they want to.
She actually exchanged success with others by using the weaver’s work position. How did she do it?
Looking at him in surprise, Tong Xuelu explained, “I helped that person a little bit. It just happened that she wanted to change jobs, so we switched.”
A little favor?
Tong Jiaming didn’t believe this at all, but he didn’t plan to break the casserole and ask the end.
To take Tong Zhenzhen to the farm, and to send Tong Yanliang to the Northwest, and the group of people from Beihe’s hometown arrogantly came and walked sullenly, all of this was her own handwriting!
It’s just that she is so powerful, why did she leave the Tong’s house over there in the first place?
Tong Jiaming thought this in his heart, not wanting to be inattentive, so he asked the question.
Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows: “Don’t you think that I left the Tong’s house over there because I was afraid of Tong Zhenzhen, or was forced to leave by Tong Zhenzhen?”
Tong Jiaming: “Isn’t it?”
Tong Xuelu rolled her eyes: “Of course not! You look down upon me too much. If I don’t want to leave, no one can drive me away! The reason why I left the Tong’s house is because it was not my home originally, here. , Is my home!”
Tong Jiaming’s heart seemed to be beaten hard by a hammer.
He wanted to ask her, if she were to be a writer here, why did she talk to his parents like that?
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed back.
Tong Xuelu didn’t know what he was thinking: “Do you have any other questions?”
Tong Jiaming shook his head: “No more.”
“Don’t tell other people about this matter for the time being, lest you will be laughed at if you can’t change it.”
“it is good.”
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Tong Mianmian kicked his short legs and ran over: “Sister, look at the hair that the third brother gave to Mianmian, it’s not pretty!”
Before Tong Xuelu had time to speak, Tong Jiaxin rushed over like firecrackers: “Where is it not good? Obviously it looks good. From now on, my third brother will tie your hair every day!”
“no no no!”
Tong Mianmian waved his fleshy little hands, and his little head shook into a rattle.
Ugly rejection.jpg
Tong Xuelu watched her little tugging become two hedgehog-like things, and couldn’t help rolling her eyes at the ceiling.
She picked up the little dumpling and said softly, “Don’t worry, my sister won’t let him touch your hair.”
Tong Jia Xinnong twisted his eyebrows into a caterpillar, and said in disbelief, “Why can’t I tie my hair? Why?”
Tong Xuelu glanced at him coolly: “You can pierce it. Then you don’t want to eat the food I cook.”
“…”
Tong Jiaxin is like a duck pinched around his neck, unable to speak a word.
Tong Xuelu smiled.
Strike a snake and hit seven inches, for foodies, not letting them eat is more uncomfortable than killing them.
At this time, Tong Jiaxin was very uncomfortable, and he did not dare to go back.

Mr. Wen’s 70th birthday, Wen’s phone has been ringing since the morning.
Military officers and old comrades in the field called him to wish him his birthday.
Relatives and friends in Beijing also sent birthday gifts early in the morning.
Mr. Wen warned them in advance that they were not allowed to send expensive things, so what everyone sent was practical but not expensive.
Old man Wen looked at a room of people wishing him birthday, but the boss was not happy in his heart.
Because these people are not tender grass!
As soon as people left, Mr. Wen couldn’t help complaining: “You are not a filial offspring! It made me unable to hold my great-grandson at the age of seventy!”
Wen Rugui put a bowl of longevity noodles in front of him, knelt down and said, “Grandpa, I wish you Songhe Changchun and longevity!”
Mr. Wen: “If you want me to live longer than Nanshan, you can bring the tender grass over and show me!”
Wen Rugui: “…”
Grandpa Wen didn’t say anything anymore when he saw him, and his beard flew up with anger: “Old Jiang’s great-grandson is almost three years old. My great-grandson has no shadows. I don’t care. You must bring tender grass for the Chinese New Year this year. Come back and show me!”
Wen Rugui: “…”
He feels a bit of a headache. Although the old man urges him to find someone to marry, he has never been so headstrong.
Since seeing Tong Xuelu that time, he has been developing in an uncontrollable direction.
People who came to Wen’s birthday celebration today saw the green grass in a house and asked what was going on.
How can he answer?
After Wen Ru returned to the stairs, Mr. Wen stretched his neck and looked at the end of the stairs, and asked Uncle Zong, “Xiao Zong, how did I act just now?”
Uncle Zong flattered and said: “Commander, you just performed better than the actors on the stage before!”
Old man Wen:? ?
Why does this sound weird?
Old man Wen thought about it for a while and then put it aside, smiling so that the corners of his eyes wrinkled: “That stinky boy is just a top, he won’t move unless he smokes.”
It was fine if there was no object before. Now that he knows that there is a tender grass, he must remind him from time to time.
“Or commander you are smart.”
Uncle Zong continued to flatter while finishing the gift.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on one of the gifts, and the whole person froze: “Commander, this is…”
Old man Wen raised his eyebrows: “What is it? He speaks aloud!”
Uncle Zong: “This is from that person. It’s two snacks and a set of clothes. The clothes look like they were given home.”
Old man Wen was furious: “Throw it out, throw it all out to me! What kind of face does she have to give away things like home!”
“Yes, I’ll take it out and throw it away!”
Uncle Zong hurriedly put the things back into the box, and then proposed to throw them away.
Mr. Wen sat in the hall alone, his eyes were cold, and he never saw his previous smile again.
When he saw Uncle Zong came back, he sighed: “Don’t let Rugui know about this.”
Uncle Zong responded in a low voice: “Don’t worry, Commander, I won’t say it.”
When the sky darkened, Pu Jianyi had time to come over to congratulate Mr. Wen on his birthday.
Because he had been a birthday star for one day, Mr. Wen was already a little unable to carry it by now, so he went back to his room to rest.
Pu Jianyi was not in a hurry. He put a hand on Wen Rugui’s shoulder and winked his eyes, “Have you received Comrade Tong’s fish?”
Wen Rugui looked confused: “What fish?”
Pu Jianyi: “No? Yesterday she went to my office to ask you what you like to eat, saying that she would give you food as a gift!”
Wen Rugui’s black eyelashes trembled slightly: “No.”
Pu Jianyi was still very aggrieved when he thought of it: “Although you asked to help, at any rate, I did my best. She didn’t even mention thanking me. My heart is so cold!”
Wen Rugui glanced at him, and when he was about to talk, he saw Uncle Zong walking in with a large plate of steamed fish.
Both Wen Rugui and Pu Jianyi were startled at the same time.
“Uncle Zong, where did this fish come from?”
Uncle Zong was afraid that the fish would fall, and said concisely: “It was given by someone else.”
The hall was quiet for a few seconds.
Wen Rugui walked over and said, “Uncle Zong, give it to me, I’ll go in.”
Zong Shuyuan wanted to say no, but Wen Rugui insisted, and put his hands straight in front of him, as if he wouldn’t take it back if he didn’t give it to him.
He had to pass the plate over.
Pu Jianyi tutted: “This really means that Cao Cao is here, like home, do you still dare to say that I was nonsense before?”
Actually sent things to the military area compound, and still chose the 70th birthday of Mr. Wen.
Hey, really flatter!
Wen Rugui ignored him and brought the fish into the kitchen. He didn’t know what to make in the kitchen. It took a while before he came out.
Old man Wen did not wake up until he had a meal.
Pu Jianyi stayed at the Wen’s house, and ended up having a meal at the Wen’s house.
Grandpa Wen glanced at the dining table and asked Uncle Zong, “Where is the fish?”
Uncle Zong looked at Wen Rugui: “Commander, the fish was sent here just now, and he was sent to the kitchen by Rugui. I will bring it now.”
Wen Rugui’s movement of holding the chopsticks stagnated: “Uncle Zong, you don’t need to go.”
Uncle Zong: “Why?”
A room of people’s eyes focused on Wen Rugui.
Pu Jianyi suddenly shouted, “You just hid in the kitchen for so long. Couldn’t that fish be eaten by you alone? You are too shameless!”
Wen Rugui: “…”
Uncle Zong ran into the kitchen and saw the fish bones in the trash can.
He came back and reported the matter to Mr. Wen.
Old man Wen yelled with anger: “That’s the fish that Jiang gave me a birthday. You just want to be greedy again. Anyway, leave a mouthful for me!”
Wen Rugui: “…”
Park Jianyi paused and reacted.
The next moment he burst into laughter, and he laughed staggeringly: “Hahahaha…”
He was so ridiculous.
