Chapter 001: House

Next Chapter

Five-and-a-half-year-old Amber was rolling in bed boringly, it was dark early in winter, but it was only six o'clock, and it was almost dark outside.

Because the compound where the dreamer lives is located on the edge of the train station in N city, the number of people coming and going is complicated.

Not to mention that it's dark now, even Dream Amber's parents don't allow Dream Amber to go out alone.

Dream Amber, who has no brothers and sisters, except for going to kindergarten, can only be in a small room more often, depressed and in a daze at the little black and white TV set with snowflakes.

Usually, Amber's parents should accompany her in the house to watch the news broadcast, and after watching the news broadcast, Chen Yingyue will coax her to sleep.

Today, Amber was alone in her room watching TV, and her parents were in the kitchenette outside, avoiding her and muttering something.

Meng Amber's parents, Meng Feixiang and Chen Yingyue, are both college graduates, and both of them are babies from the countryside.

After graduating from university, he came to work in a large state-owned enterprise in N City with ideals and ambitions.

Although the two have been married for almost seven years, and their daughter Meng Amber is about to reach the age of going to school, the family of three still lives in this large compound near the train station in N City, which is a small bungalow of only about ten square meters.

I think they came with passion, but they really didn't think much about the accommodation.

However, when I arrived at the dormitory, I couldn't help but feel a sigh in my heart when I saw that it had been converted from a large warehouse into a simplex dormitory.

I thought that the dormitory of a large state-owned enterprise was better than that of the school, but I didn't expect it to be such a bleak situation.

Although there are only four people in each room, the four bunk iron beds that are the same as the school are placed in the room, which looks really inferior to the school dormitory.

Anyway, there are cabinets in the school dormitory to put things, and there are tables and stools for everyone.

Although there are only four people living here, the bottom bunk is a bed, and the top bunk replaces a cabinet to place some personal belongings.

In the middle of the narrow room, there is no place to place tables and chairs, and the only place where people can sit in the room is the bed, which makes people feel extremely aggrieved no matter how they look at it.

The unit is quite large, and it is also a leading enterprise in N City, but because of its large size and large number of employees, the housing problem of employees has always been a big problem.

When she first arrived at the unit, the unfamiliar environment, unsatisfactory accommodation conditions, and the fact that she was not used to eating made Chen Ying a little depressed.

Meng Feixiang is two years older than Chen Yingyue, and he happened to arrive at the unit two years earlier than Chen Yingyue, seeing Chen Yingyue's listless appearance every day, and then seeing her lose weight day by day, the similar age and family background made him feel a little sympathetic, so he quietly appeared by her side to comfort her and help her.

Meng Feixiang's timely comfort made Chen Yingyue slowly adapt to the environment, and her gratitude to Meng Feixiang slowly made Chen Yingyue take Meng Feixiang to heart, and soon the two looked at each other.

I have been in love for two years like glue, and the man is married and the woman is married, and the marriage is on the agenda.

However, they have neither connections nor ancestral property in N City, and they want the unit to be excluded from subdivision, their working years are too short, and they really can't be ranked in the top row for three or five years.

But if you want to get married, you can't still live here, even the colleagues in the cubicle can hear it clearly, not to mention that even if they are willing, there is no room here that can be used as their wedding room.

Fortunately, Meng Feixiang and Chen Yingyue are both motivated young people, except for talking about love, they spend almost all the rest of their time on work, and they are deeply appreciated by the leaders of their respective departments.

Seeing that the two of them were worried about the house, the leaders naturally couldn't bear it, so with the coordination and joint efforts of the leaders of the two departments, they finally vacated such a small house in the current miscellaneous courtyard.

Although the house is small, the young couple finally have a nest of their own, but they didn't expect to live in this house for nearly seven years.

Now that their daughters are about to go to school, they are still living in this nest, although the nest is very warm by Chen Yingyue, but there are many inconveniences.

Not to mention that the parents of both sides occasionally come to visit them in N City, even the small house with one big and one small two beds on weekdays has turned around and is incompetent.

Those who entered the unit at the same time as them either left the unit to find their own jobs and made a fortune and bought a new house, or they were allocated a complete set of houses in the subsequent subdivision of the unit.

There are clear rules on the division of units, and there needs to be a gap of five years between two divisions, unless there is a significant contribution to the unit, which can be done on a special basis.

It's a pity that the unit has not had any major development in the past few years, and even if Dream Feixiang has the ability, he can only be buried in ordinary affairs day by day.

Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, someone in the queue gives up, but it can also let those who are not in line pick up a leak, but the chance of such a is equal to zero.

After they got this hut, the unit built a number of houses three years ago in order to improve the housing conditions of the workers, and carried out a large-scale division and adjustment.

It's a pity that since they got this house for less than five years, they can only watch their colleagues who have shorter years of service than them have better and bigger houses than them, and some even live in complete sets of new houses, while they still live in this big compound.

Although this situation is not to blame Meng Feixiang, Chen Yingyue will occasionally nag a few sentences, looking at his daughter who is getting bigger and smarter, and looking at his wife who gradually has fine lines in the corners of her eyes, Meng Feixiang feels ashamed but unable to do anything.

It's not that he hasn't fought for it, but the system of the unit is there, and even if he has become a deputy section-level cadre now, he is still not a person who has made significant contributions to the unit.

He also submitted his resignation to the unit, but the unit just didn't approve it, and Chen Yingyue didn't approve of him giving up his good job and going to the sea.

Over the years, Dream Flying in the unit is to work hard and wait for the opportunity to divide the room, and at home is to bury himself in diamond cooking skills to make up for the guilt of his wife and daughter, and he has practiced good cooking skills.

Looking forward to it, I finally came to a new round of room sharing opportunities.

This time, five new houses were newly built in the unit, most of which were two-bedroom suites, and a small number of one-bedroom suites, so the division involved a lot.

More importantly, this is the last welfare house before the comprehensive housing reform, and almost all people who meet the conditions for housing division are working hard to get the best house they can get together.

According to Mengfeixiang's seniority, professional title and position, Mengjia has two different choices this time.

One is to ask for a new house directly, but only to a one-bedroom with a lower floor.

The other is to choose the old house adjusted by other colleagues, which has more room for choice, and you can choose a house with a better location.

For this reason, there was a disagreement between Meng Feixiang and Chen Yingyue for the first time.

"No, I don't agree!" Chen Yingyue's voice suddenly raised from the small kitchen, and Meng Amber couldn't help but get nervous, jumped out of bed quickly, put her ear to the door, and stole the sound.

"Shhh Dream Feixiang's deliberately suppressed voice came faintly, and it would have been impossible to hear it if it hadn't been against the door.

"Anyway, if you want to give a good house to someone else, I absolutely disagree. You don't want to think about Amber going to school next year, where are you going to let her go to school if you live here? It's not negotiable! Although Chen Yingyue's voice was lowered, the firepower was very sufficient, and the reason was also very good.

"You...... Alas, don't be angry, I didn't say that I would give up this opportunity to others, this time I always have to change the house......" Dream Feixiang's voice came again, and there was a hint of helplessness and spoiling in his voice.

"Anyway, if you want to be a good person, that's your business, it's a big deal to divide the room according to my seniority, it's only two points less, and I can rank ahead of them!" Chen Yingyue, who has always been gentle and graceful, looked extremely tough in her tone, obviously disagreeing with Meng Feixiang's practice of giving up the ranking of the room.

After Chen Yingyue's words came out, there was no sound of speaking in the small kitchen for a long time, but there was a slight sound of footsteps for a long time.

Amber quickly returns to bed and pretends to continue watching her TV.
