Chapter 25 The sophistication of human feelings
Fang Ning and the others lived in the bedroom arranged by Chen Hailin, and they were really tired after taking the bus for an afternoon. Those roads were bumpy, not as good as the roads of later generations, the pavement was just concrete poured ground, and the quality was not good, and the ground was potholed and full of cracks after only a year or two of completion. That kind of asphalt, tar, wide road doesn't seem to be a thought of at the moment.
Fang Jiefang and Fang Longxing were ready to go out, wanting to go to the wholesalers in the county to learn about the market while the sun had not yet set, but the reason for unifying with the outside world was to purchase reserve materials for the village.
Chen Hailin is an acquaintance in the end, and he is also familiar with the situation here, although he doesn't understand what the two of them are preparing to do, but he still took them to find a place.
In the bedroom, a wardrobe was half-open, and inside was messy clothes, the cabinet floor was covered with dust, and the curtains opened a small gap, and the setting sun shone in obliquely, falling right on Fang Ning's face.
"Old sister, wait for dinner and take a shower, let's rest early, the two of us will be busy tomorrow." Fang Ning lay on the bed on all fours and didn't want to move, staring at the star wallpaper hanging on the wall, looking familiar, but he couldn't remember which star this was, he could only blame this star for not being very popular.
Fang Wei was not as lazy as Fang Ning, and after resting for a while, he said, "Brother, you rest, I'll go downstairs for a while." ”
"Don't get lost!" Fang Ning shouted weakly.
"Don't worry, you can't get lost. Fang Wei finished speaking and went out.
At about 5:20 in the afternoon, Fang Jiefang and the others just came back along with the meal, and Chen Hailin came back more than ten minutes earlier than them, making tea with a boiling kettle on the tea table, and the fog was shrouded.
In the dining room, Li Mu put dishes on the table, with large plates, meat and vegetarian, verdant, and a bowl of seaweed egg soup.
"You two children, come over for dinner!" Li Mu shouted at Fang Ning.
"Got it, aunt!" Fang Ning quickly got into place, only to be pulled by Fang Wei to the bathroom to wash his hands.
"Make a big fuss!" Fang Ning was not angry.
"Sickness comes from the mouth. Fang rolled his eyes slightly.
Fang Jiefang and they also took a seat, Chen Hailin took out the liquor from the cabinet and poured it full of liquor for the elders, and his posture was very low, so he asked his wife to take a seat. They talked and laughed, the atmosphere was very lively, Fang Ning and his two children were tired all afternoon, they were already hungry, and they were in no mood to listen to the adults chatting about what topics, and they all buried their heads in eating and began to eat.
At night, Chen Hailin took Fang Jiefang and them out for a walk, and Fang Ning also went out, the previous memories were already blurred, but the night by the river was still clearly imprinted in his mind, but at that time, there were still large tracts of barren land, and even their future community was still being planned, surrounded by pieces of blue iron sheets, and it was also written Guitang Construction Company, and there was a warning sign next to it that the construction site was forbidden to enter.
"Uncle Xie, I heard that you are going to come down to the county next year, have you decided where to buy a house? Chen Hailin had heard others talk about it before, but he didn't know if it was true or not.
"It's not settled yet. Fang Jiefang shook his head.
Chen Hailin smiled when he heard this, and pointed to the project behind Haitianjing Garden that was about to break ground, probably on the deserted field covered by the night, "Uncle Xie, I work in the Construction Bureau, and I know that this phase of the Xia Coast Project will just sell the real estate at the beginning of March next year, and I have a little relationship with the boss of the Guitang Construction Company here, and I can go through internal relations to get one or two sets of buildings with acquaintance prices and high-quality real estate." ”
Fang Jiefang has lived for most of his life, where does he not know that Chen Hailin sold him a favor, but this favor is a little inexplicable, he wants to refuse it directly, it is a little too unkind, if he accepts kindness, this favor is still quite large, what he is most afraid of owing is favor.
Fang Ning's eyes rolled, he was still ignorant at that time in later generations, he only knew that his grandfather bought a house in Xia Haihai Community, which cost about 170,000 yuan, a total of 179 square meters, five bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, plus the later decoration and furniture costs, a total of nearly 400,000 yuan.
Although the house price is not expensive, but it is not cheap, and later when he joined the work, he met a fellow villager who happened to buy a building in the Xia Haihai community, the house area is about the same size as his house, but the price is only 120,000, this is the internal price, and it can save nearly 50,000 yuan.
But if you think about it, you will understand.
Generally, in slightly high-end communities, the bosses of those construction projects will set aside some well-located houses, and when needed, they can be taken out to do personal relations.
This is much better than directly bribing officials, leaving no traces, and it is also very elegant.
This is also an unspoken rule that is common in later generations.
Although I know that I can buy a house at a very good price, I don't have this kind of connection, and I am worried that I have no place to start, so I send a sleepy pillow to the door.
"Uncle Hai, although we are very moved, we still have important things to do, and there is still nearly a year to go, so it's a bit early to say this. However, the houses here are really better, and we also like it here, if we really come down to the county, there is no other choice, we still trouble Uncle Hai to help us pay attention to it. Fang Ning said sincerely.
Chen Hailin didn't believe that a child could call the shots, he glanced at Fang Jiefang, only to see him nodding, his expression was a little softened, and he was at ease.
Speaking of Chen Hailin's use of his connections to get a house, it is still his wife's idea, his wife is a virtuous and intelligent person, since they came to settle in this county, the villagers in the whole village have no personal contact with them, and even relatives are unwilling to leave with them, it seems that there is only one of them left here, lonely, so not lonely.
Fortunately, Uncle Xie is a tolerant person, and he will not think about these doorways and treat them closely.
Hearing that Uncle Xie's family will come down to settle in the county next year, Li Mu thought that if he could move around more with their family, he would not be so lonely on weekdays.
Chen Hailin is also an understanding person, so there is the latter thing of getting a house at a low price through connections.
Fang Jiefang got such a big favor, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, thinking that when he left, he would leave some winter supplies in their house, and it would be good to count it as a little reciprocal favor.
It's just that the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, because which person is not related to him, you know it and pass it on to him, and he passes it on to this, and then everyone will know, and the people in the society are panicking, and the above will definitely be investigated, once it is involved, it is inevitable that the source will not be found, and you must know that the crime of spreading rumors is not light, and the light is detained for 15 days, and the worst is to sit in prison.
In the evening, Chen Hailin made some wine and snacks, and then drank with Fang Jiefang and Fang Longxing.
Fang Wei was tired after playing all afternoon, and fell asleep after taking a shower and changing clothes.
Fang Ning couldn't fall asleep, walked to the windowsill, took a deep breath, and looked at the city under the night sky.
Those magnificent events are up and down in his memory, and he has no fear to move forward!
