Early the next morning, Mengdu's mother called Hao Desheng:

"Xiao Hao, last night, I discussed the marriage of my dream with Liping with your leaders. Lao Wang's opinion is that if the girl's family has no opinion, the wedding date will be set on the National Day. Lao Wang said, it's better to let Mengdu get married early, lest that child don't get married for a day, and he won't be able to get together for a day. As for Liping's parents' opinions, I'll bother you. ”

"Okay, Mrs. Sister-in-law, as long as you and Mayor Wang set a wedding date for Mengdu, I will handle everything in the rest!"

Hao Desheng confidently expressed his position to the mayor's wife.

Without further ado, just do what you say; And strike while the iron is hot, and the results will be immediate!

In the afternoon of the same day, Hao Desheng called Zhang Xueru, saying that he had something important to look for him and asked him if he had time.

As soon as he heard that Director Hao was looking for him, and there was something important to discuss, Zhang Xueru immediately guessed that it was related to Liping, and replied busily:

"Director Hao, if you have time, I have time at any time! Is it time to go to your office? ”

"Oh, you don't come to my office. Well, you go home first and wait. As for what I'm talking about, I have to listen to my sister-in-law's opinion. I'll arrange a car right away, and I'll be at your house in about a quarter of an hour. ”

Hao Desheng informed Zhang Xueru on the phone.

"Okay, okay, Director Hao, I'll go home and wait for you right away."

Zhang Xueru heard Hao Desheng say, "I still have to listen to the opinion of the old sister-in-law", and he was even more sure of his speculation just now. The joy in my heart is indescribable!

Zhang Xueru immediately packed up the things on the desk, and then rushed to the director's office, and asked the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau in charge of his work for leave, saying:

"Director, Director Hao of the General Office of the Municipal Government, just called me and said that there is something important to discuss, and I want to ask for leave to go over."

"Well, Director Hao is looking for you? Okay, go for it! The deputy director naturally nodded in agreement.

In order not to delay the meeting with Hao Desheng, at this moment, Zhang Xueru couldn't wait to chat with the deputy director.

He quickly left the deputy director's office and immediately rushed home.

Zhang Xueru was not far from the unit, and it was arranged for him by Director Hao when he transferred him from the county station.

As for the house price, it is also the group purchase price negotiated between the municipal government and the developer, and each square meter is more than 2,000 yuan cheaper than the market price.

A house of 110 square meters is cheaper than more than 200,000 yuan!

Of course, Zhang Xueru used to work at a station in a small county town, with a low salary and a total house price of more than 800,000 yuan, which is also a huge number for Zhang Xueru's family!

Zhang Xueru took out all the money in the family, and put together all the savings of his eldest daughter and eldest son-in-law, with a total of less than 300,000 yuan. The difference can only be mortgaged from the bank.

Fortunately, after Liping was transferred to the provincial capital, she was an athlete in the Provincial Sports Brigade before, and her salary was not high, more than 2,000 yuan a month. Later, he was transferred to the general office of the municipal government as a data clerk, and his salary and bonus rose to about 4,000 at once.

In addition, after Zhang Xueru was transferred to the Urban Construction Bureau of the municipal government, the salary and bonus added up, and he earned 1,000 yuan more than when he worked at the station, almost 5,000 yuan.

In this way, the sum of Zhang Xueru and Liping's salaries and bonuses alone is almost 10,000 yuan.

The Zhang family used to be frugal in life, and now the standard of living is to eat, drink, and sleep every month, all of which add up, and three thousand yuan a month is enough.

In this way, only the monthly income of Zhang Xueru's father and daughter, in addition to living expenses, is not a problem to repay the mortgage and interest of the bank every month.

It is said that after Zhang Xueru left the unit, he rushed to the house in three steps and two steps, and said to his wife when he entered the door:

"Quick, the kid, Director Hao is coming home soon! He wants me to wait for him at home, so you can go out and buy some fruit at the fruit stall outside!" ”

"Oh."

The wife listened to Zhang Xueru's instructions, hurriedly took some money from her wallet, and hurriedly went out.

After a while, Hao Desheng's car had arrived at the door of Zhang's house.

Hao Desheng didn't know how to drive himself, so he was sent by the General Affairs Section of the General Affairs Department of the General Office.

After the car arrived at Zhang's house, in order to make it easier to speak, Hao Desheng did not ask the driver to get out of the car with him, but instructed the driver to wait in the car; Then, he went to Zhang to learn Confucianism alone.

"Oh, Director Hao, you are so busy with work, and you still come to my house in person? It's really a lot of work. ”

Zhang Xueru was already waiting at the door of his house.

When he saw Hao Desheng getting out of the car with his bag, he immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to carry Hao Desheng's bag.

"No need, Master Zhang. Between you and me, you're welcome. ”

Hao Desheng smiled, gently blocked Zhang Xueru's hand, and then walked into Zhang's house.

"Ah, Director Hao, please take a seat."

Zhang Xueru hurriedly trotted a few steps, rushed in front of Hao Desheng, and invited him to sit in the couch against the wall on the left side of the living room.

Just now, Zhang Xueru simply wiped the tables and chairs at home with a cloth, and the teacups were also prepared in advance.

After Hao Desheng took a seat, Zhang Xueru immediately took a cup to make tea and respectfully served it to Hao Desheng.

"Thank you, Master Zhang, don't be busy, it's all your own people."

After Hao Desheng took the teacup, he briefly glanced into the room and saw that there were only a few simple pieces of furniture in the living room:

a Western-style dining table with six matching leather stainless steel chairs;

a set of five-seater sofas;

a glass coffee table;

A two-metre TV stand.

On the TV stand, there is a 30-inch "Konka" brand flat-screen TV.

At the door of the living room, there is also a small shoe cabinet.

All of this furniture is 50% new.

This is Zhang Xueru moved from the county seat to the provincial capital, after buying this new house, because of the lack of money, can not afford to buy new furniture, so he went to the furniture dispensing market to pick left and right, and found such old furniture.

According to the salesperson of the store, it is the intact furniture that has just been eliminated when people change new furniture, and it is very cost-effective to use it at home!

On both sides of the TV cabinet against the wall, there is a pot of evergreen bonsai.

That was specially bought by Zhang Xueru and put there.

Zhang Xueru said that other people's bonsai are all ten, twenty, and thirty pots, which makes people feel comfortable when they look at it;

As for my own home, although the economy is tight at the moment, it can't be without a little green. If a family doesn't even have a little green, then there is no vitality and vitality.

For this reason, Zhang Xueru bought these two pots of evergreen as a symbol of the family's vitality and vitality.

"What, isn't my sister-in-law at home?"

Hao Desheng knew in his heart that Zhang Xueru's family was not well-off, so he did not seriously visit the Zhang family's furnishings.

After waiting for a while, Hao Desheng didn't see Zhang Xueru's wife, so he asked Zhang Xueru.

"Oh, it's coming, it's coming! Just now, I asked her to buy fruit. ”

Zhang Xueru was answering, and his wife happened to enter the door.

"Hao, director, hello!"

After Zhang Xueru's wife entered the door, when she saw Director Hao, she felt a special sense of gratitude in her heart. But she didn't know how to express it, so she greeted Hao Desheng with some stammering, and then, carrying a plastic bag of bananas, oranges, and apples, staggered into the house.

"Director Hao, come, please, you eat a banana first."

Zhang Xueru got up from the single sofa, took out a hanging banana from the plastic bag in his wife's hand, picked the largest and thickest banana, and respectfully delivered it to Hao Desheng with both hands.

Then, Zhang Xueru turned to his wife and said:

"the kid, go wash a few apples, after washing, peel the skin, and then invite Director Hao to eat."

"Ahem, Lao Zhang, do you really treat me as a guest? You're welcome. Come, old sister-in-law, sit down. I'm here today to discuss a big matter with you two elders! What's the big deal? It's your daughter Liping, and Mayor Wang's son Mengdu, the marriage of the two of them! ”

After Hao Desheng invited Zhang Xueru and his wife to sit down, he put the banana in his hand on the coffee table and explained his intention straightforwardly.

After finishing speaking, Hao Desheng confidently picked up the teacup, blew lightly twice on the hot tea, and then took a sip comfortably.
