As soon as she returned home, Cailing complained to Yao Cuihua, saying that her sister and brother didn't eat much at Bai Mengdie's birthday banquet, and the old lady actually let her three sisters and brothers work.

also told Yao Cuihua that Li Yuhuan gave the pair of silver bracelets that were to be used as heirlooms to Bai Mengdie.

The words are full of resentment and jealousy.

Yao Cuihua's face turned blue with anger, and she lost her temper at Bai Aijia, who went home first.

"Look at how partial your family is to the old immortals, who celebrate Fluttershy's slut every year, but not any of our children's birthdays.

Rainbow sister and brother went to eat a few bites of birthday banquet Li Yuhuan, that slut who was a dog and a powerful slut, actually forced Cailiang to work, do you say that your Bai family is still human? ”

Bai Aijia let her roar, lowered her head and didn't speak.

Yao Cuihua sternly asked the Cailing sisters and brothers how many mushrooms they picked up in the morning.

The three children timidly pointed to the corner of the hall, where there were only less than ten catties of mushrooms.

Yao Cuihua suddenly became angry, picked up a wooden stick and pulled it at the three Cailing sisters and brothers: "A group of wastes who can't eat enough to do anything, what's the use of raising you, just kill it!" ”

Seeing this, Bai Aijia couldn't stand still anymore, jumped up, and stopped Yao Cuihua from beating the child.

The old house of the Bai family is a chicken flying and a dog jumping.

The Bai family's courtyard house is peaceful.

Tian Laohan chatted with everyone in the Bai family for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.

The old man and the old lady went into the kitchen and used a plastic bag with two braised pig's feet, together with the birthday cake she bought, for Tian Laohan to take and ask him to take back to Bai Mengdie's grandmother and uncle, aunt and cousin.

Tian Laohan said that he refused to take anything: "I ate and drank at your house, and I still have to take things before leaving, what will it look like!" ”

The old lady shoved something into his hand, "Isn't it that Fluttershy's grandmother and aunt and uncle didn't come, and they brought these things to eat." ”

The old man also helped: "We can't eat this pig's feet and this birthday cake, it will definitely be bad overnight, so you might as well bring it back for Fluttershy and Grandma to eat!" ”

Tian Laohan saw that it was difficult to refuse, so he said: "I will bring these two pig's feet, and I will also take half of this cake away, and you can keep half of it for yourself to eat at night." ”

After some tugging, Tian Laohan left with braised pig's feet and half a birthday cake.

The old man sent him to the entrance of the village until he went home.

Closing the door of the courtyard was full of his own family, and Bai Aiguo talked about buying a house.

As for the matter of being laid off, he discussed it with Tian Chunfang, and concealed it first, so as not to make the old man anxious when he heard it.

Later, Bai Aiguo found a stable and well-paid job in the city, and then told the old man about them.

Bai Aiguo only mentioned that his family's money to buy a house was not enough, and before he could borrow it, the old man and the old lady and Bai Aimin all took the initiative to lend him money.

Bai Aiguo and his wife were moved.

The two houses of the second room and the old man can borrow more than 9,000 from Bai Aiguo, plus Bai Mengdie's money to put the old lady here, a total of 20,000.

Bai Aimin immediately took his own and the old man's passbook and took Bai Sheng to the town to withdraw money.

Bai Mengdie took out 5,000 yuan and handed it to Bai Aiguo along with the bank card: "This is the money I earned from doing small business during this time and part of the manuscript fee, and there are more than 2,000 manuscript fees in the card, and Dad will take it himself." ”

Bai Aiguo hesitated to take the money and bank card, and asked, "You didn't leave yourself a few dozen yuan for urgent use?" ”

Bai Mengdie nodded and said, "I left more than seventy yuan." ”

As for the 40,000 yuan of thanks fee and the more than 5,000 yuan she got from Bai Jie, she didn't dare to take it out, because it was too troublesome to explain.

The old lady also went into her room, and when she came out, she held a thin stack of money in her hand: "This money is earned by your father who went to the city with Bai Mengdie to sell fruits, as well as the money I saved from selling eggs and the money from Lei Lei selling vegetables, which is almost more than eight hundred." ”

Bai Aiguo took the money warmly in his heart.

Li Yuhuan calculated the account in his heart for a while, and said: "Big brother, this money is still not enough, it should be more than 10,000 yuan, why don't I go to my mother's house to help you borrow one or two thousand?" ”

Since the reform and opening up, Li Yuhuan's maiden family conditions have improved a lot, and they are not as poor as before.

She can't borrow more money, but she is still sure to borrow one or two thousand.

"That's unacceptable!" Bai Aiguo hurriedly said, "Our brothers can borrow money from each other, how can we borrow money from your mother's house?"

To tell you the truth, I don't know if I can pay you back this money until I borrow it.

Let you lose interest, my husband and wife are already very unhappy, how can you let your mother's family suffer? ”

The old man held a glass of water in his hand and said, "When you have money, you will pay back the second family first, and I am not in a hurry with your mother." ”

Bai Aiguo said: "I know." ”

After a while, Bai Aimin's father and son took the money back and handed it over to Bai Aiguo.

Bai Aiguo took the money and went into his room.

Seeing that it was still early, the old man took the second family up the mountain to pick up mushrooms.

The old lady called Tian Chunfang and his wife to her room, and said solemnly: "Xiaodie has almost 20,000 yuan to buy a house, and she will have to buy most of the house in the future." ”

Tian Chunfang smiled and said, "Mom, that house is not Leilei, it is a welfare house for patriotism and Ruosu, and it naturally belongs to Fluttershy." ”

The old lady was relieved to see her say this.

She sighed, "Chunfang, if you want to complain, blame me for being biased, I just feel sorry for Fluttershy." ”

Tian Chunfang shook the old lady's hand and said, "Mom, I don't blame you~ You and Dad are very good to my mother and son." ”

She thought, what did she have to complain about? Shi Lei is not a child of the Bai family, why did he inherit Bai Aiguo and An Ruosu's welfare housing?

Bai Aiguo pondered for a few seconds and said, "Don't talk about it, that house belongs to Fluttershy, and in the future, we will make money and then buy a small house for Lei Lei in the city." ”

Although he is a stepson, he doesn't want to be too wronged by Shi Lei.

Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law expressed satisfaction with his arrangement.

Coming out of the old lady's room, Tian Chunfang went back to the room and took a sum of money from the cabinet to Bai Aiguo: "This week, Yuhuan and I sold flowers and fabrics, and we earned more than 500 before and after, so let's use it to buy a house." ”

Bai Aiguo was still very worried when he took the money, and there were still more than 10,000 yuan missing.

Bai Mengdie walked into Tian Chunfang's room, saw that she and Bai Aiguo were all sad, and asked, "Dad, Mom, do you have a way to borrow the rest of the money?" ”

Bai Aiguo didn't want her to worry, so he said with a forced smile: "There is no endless road, Dad can always think of a way, you don't care about this matter." ”

Bai Mengdie came out of the room.

thought to himself, I am afraid that I will not be able to borrow more than 10,000 yuan, so I simply took out 20,000 yuan of my private money in the name of Chen Ziqian to Bai Aiguo for emergency.

To borrow money in the name of Chen Ziqian, not only did Bai Aiguo agree, but also the old man agreed.

Now I told Bai Aiguo and his wife, and when the old man comes back, I have to say it again, so I will talk about it at dinner, so as to save more time talking.

Bai Mengdie went back to her room to study.

Bai Aiguo was worried for a moment, so he also braved the rain to go out to pick up fungi.

If you are worried and you can't worry about the money, it is better to go up the mountain and pick up some Yin to sell it for a few small dollars.

Tian Chunfang didn't go out, and stayed to continue to make the skirt that Bai Mengdie didn't finish last night.

After the skirt is ready, let Bai Mengdie try it on.

Bai Mengdie tried it, and it was all very good-looking.

Tian Chunfang ironed all the dresses she made, and began to make clothes for Shi Lei's father and son and the old lady again.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the old man and his party came back dejectedly.

The old lady knew that she hadn't picked up many fungi in the afternoon.

She fetched a basin of water for the old man to wash his hands and face and wash the mud on his feet, and comforted: "If you haven't picked up mushrooms, you haven't picked them up, don't be so angry." ”

The old man sighed and did not speak.

If he hadn't seen fungi in the past, he wouldn't have taken it to heart, but now that his eldest son wants money to buy a house, he wants to earn a few more regardless of whether it's big or small.

Bai Sheng took a small basket, put the wild strawberries he picked when picking mushrooms, went to the pond to wash them, and then took them back to Bai Mengdie's room: "Fluttershy, what do you think this is?" ”

Bai Mengdie was lying on the desk studying, and when she heard Bai Sheng's words, she turned her head to look at it and shouted in surprise: "Strawberry!" Where did it come from? "When I spoke, I had already grabbed a few strawberries in my hand and stuffed them into my mouth, and they were so sweet and sour!

Bai Sheng saw that she was eating sweetly, and he was even happier than eating strawberries himself: "I saw it when I was picking mushrooms, and I knew that you liked to eat them, so I picked them back by the way." ”

Wild strawberries are small, but they are much more delicious than those grown in greenhouses, and of course everyone shares the good things.

Bai Mengdie took a small basket of strawberries from Bai Sheng's hand and ran to the hall for everyone to eat together.

The old man and the others were all worried about Bai Aiguo's house purchase, how could they have the heart to eat strawberries, everyone symbolically ate one or two and stopped eating, and then discussed where to borrow money.

After discussing it for a long time, I didn't have a clue.

Bai Mengdie saw that the old lady had no intention of making dinner, so she went to the kitchen silently and cooked a large pot of noodles with the brine left over from the marinated vegetables at noon for dinner.

Suddenly, the whole kitchen and even the whole yard were filled with the aroma of brine.

Bai Mengdie called everyone to serve noodles to eat, and the old lady suddenly remembered that she hadn't fed the pigs yet, and she was anxious to feed the pigs.

was stopped by Li Yuhuan and asked the old lady to eat noodles, and she came to feed the pigs.

Bai Mengdie's brine noodles are not only delicious, but also good-looking, each bowl of noodles has a tender poached egg, and coriander.

Although the old man and the others were all worried, this meal of noodles was very sweet.

Bai Mengdie drank a few sips of noodle soup and said, "Dad, grandpa, I know you can't borrow money, I want to borrow 20,000 yuan from Chen Ziqian in an emergency, are you optimistic?" ”

The old man and Bai Aiguo both had bright eyes, but they didn't say anything immediately.

The old man thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Cheng, let's borrow money from him, but we have to write him an IOU." ”

He turned his head to Bai Aiguo and his wife and said, "As long as you have enough 20,000 yuan in your hands, you can quickly return Chen Ziqian's money first, our money is not in a hurry." ”

The husband and wife all nodded and said yes, thinking to themselves, they had to think of some ways to make money, and return Chen Ziqian's money as soon as possible.

Bai Mengdie gossiped and asked Bai Aiguo: "Dad, you see that your unit asks to buy out the house, and our family has to pool money and borrow money to afford it, so is there anyone in your factory who can't make up the money and can't afford it?" ”

Bai Aiguo smiled: "Any worker who only has one house at home, even if he smashes the pot and sells iron and borrows debts everywhere, he has to buy the house anyway, otherwise where does the family live?" So if you can't afford it, you have to buy it.

However, some of the dual-income workers or big leaders in the factory have two or more houses in their homes, and now they must only plan to buy one house, and the other house is being re-sold. ”

Bai Mengdie was a little surprised: "It should be in line with the policy that dual workers can get two sets of small houses, and it makes sense for people to sell another house to buy a house."

However, the leader relied on his authority to get several houses, and now he can't afford to buy them, so he should return them to the unit and distribute them to those who have no houses. ”

Bai Aiguo said disdainfully: "Why? Just because people are big cadres and have privileges, what can you do with others! ”

Bai Mengdie pursed her lips: "No wonder the good state-owned units will collapse!" ”

She had an idea, and suddenly had an idea, and then her eyes fell on Bai Aiguo's face, and she hesitated: "Dad, I have a plan." ”

Bai Aiguo raised his head from his rice bowl: "You say." ”

Bai Mengdie was a little embarrassed: "I...... I want my dad to buy a house, and our family will buy another house, and my brother and I will have a house in the future. ”

She overheard the conversation between the old lady and Bai Aiguo just now.

Although Bai Aiguo promised to save money for Shi Lei to buy a small house in the city in the future.

But in a few years, the house will soar, and it will be very difficult to buy again, so it is better to buy it at a low price now, so she suggested so.

But she knew that her family couldn't come up with money, and her suggestion was a lot of pressure on Bai Aiguo.

Shi Lei hurriedly said: "I don't want it!" If I want to put down roots in the city in the future, I want to buy a house by my own efforts, and I don't want to increase the burden on my parents. ”

Bai Aiguo looked at his stepson with relief, and said to Bai Mengdie in every difficulty: "It's hard enough for our family to buy a house at present, how can we afford to buy another house, don't dream about it for the time being, and then find a way to buy a house for your brother when you have money in the future." ”

Bai Mengdie thought that the second bridge of the Yangtze River had been built in this era, and it would soon develop into a commercial area, and housing prices would soar.

A 500-yuan one-square-meter welfare house is nearly half cheaper than the market price.

After two years, the market price will definitely rise to four or five thousand, even if the second-hand house has doubled, and if you don't buy it now, it is equivalent to seeing money on the ground and not knowing how to bend down to pick it up.

I must persuade Bai Aiguo to buy as many sets as possible while there is low-cost welfare housing.

If you don't have money, you are not afraid, so you can borrow it from Chen Ziqian.

He can easily and anonymously donate 100,000 yuan to Yuan Susu's father for medical expenses, and he should be able to borrow hundreds of thousands of yuan from him.

Of course, you can't let him suffer a loss, and give him money according to the interest on the bank loan.

…… However, it would be better if he could get her family to take a loan from the bank, so that he would not have to borrow money from him, and he would not have to owe him a lot of favors.

Making up her mind, Bai Mengdie said to Bai Aiguo: "Dad, you can help me get four or five sets of small welfare housing like Dad's unit, and I'll figure out how to get the money." ”

The original owner often went to live in the welfare housing of Bai Aiguo in the provincial capital during the winter and summer vacations, so he knew very well the small apartment where the ordinary workers of their unit lived.

This type of apartment is small in size, but it is easy to rent, and you can rent it while waiting for the appreciation of the value.
