Chapter 146 Preparations
The third round came to the neighborhood committee in this area, seven or eight kilometers of road, although it is now April, but the tired driver is sweating.
Zhou Zhen handed him fifteen yuan, and the master happily took it.
The decline of the Northeast has begun since the 90s, and the resources are almost consumed, compared with the coastal zone, there is no geographical advantage, and even the climate cannot be compared with the south.
But Zhou Zhen was afraid that he would run away with his wife and cause changes in this world, so he didn't dare to leave the ice city casually, so he could only stay here.
Putting the luggage in the yard, Zhou Zhen asked, "Are you hungry?" ”
She shook her head. "Not hungry."
"Then you just watch the luggage, I'll rent a house."
She nodded, but there was attachment in her eyes, like a timid fawn.
Zhou Zhen turned around and walked into the neighborhood committee.
This is an old-fashioned tube building, built in the period of Soviet aid, with a strong Soviet Russian style.
Zhou Zhen knocked on the small window glass of the communication room at the entrance, and opened a crack, inside was an old man in his sixties and seventies, and he was in good health.
"Uncle, I want to rent a house, who should I go to?"
"Rent a house, where are you?"
"I'm a worker in a coal preparation plant."
"Do you know Chen Yaojun?"
"The master of the bathhouse of the coal preparation plant, the skill of wiping the bath with one hand, is a must from far and near."
After confirming Zhou Zhen's identity, the old man nodded. "Go in with your right hand, and look for Director Yu in the third office on the left."
Zhou Zhen walked in, the office door was open, and three or four middle-aged women were joking with a young man, making the young man's face red.
Seeing Zhou Zhen, the young man seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly greeted him. "Big brother, who are you looking for?"
Zhou Zhen is about the same age as him, but he doesn't care. "My name is Liang Zhijun, I am a worker in the coal preparation plant, and I want to find Director Yu and rent a house."
A woman in her forties collected her emotions and beckoned to Zhou Zhen. "Come and sit, let's talk about it, what house do you want to rent?"
Zhou Zhen asked: "I want to ask, is the small yard of the original timber station at the intersection of the coal preparation plant rented?" ”
The timber station has a large area of land in the freight yard of the train marshalling station, which is about the size of a coal preparation plant, and because when loading the trains, there are often scraps that need to be piled up, so a yard was built not far away.
The yard is about four or five acres of land, with seven or eight rooms, and a separate yard.
Now that the mountain has been closed for reforestation, the timber station is not as prosperous as it was in the 80s, and this small courtyard has been abandoned for three or four years.
Since there is no heating, it is minus 30 or 40 degrees in winter, and there is no one living here.
The other party paused for a moment and asked, "Did you bring your work permit?" ”
Zhou Zhen took out his work card and handed it over. "I just got married, and I want to raise a family in the future, so I want to quit my job and open a small restaurant, and come over to inquire about the situation."
The other party looked at his work card and said, "Although the small courtyard is deserted, it is also state property." If you want to rent, it's not impossible, but the rent is not a charter at the beginning, so I'm afraid I have to negotiate it. ”
Zhou Zhen said: "The yard has not been inhabited for several years, and it is deserted. Do you think that works? I am responsible for cleaning up the small courtyard and the house, and I will pay the rent for half a year and a year.
If I want to open a restaurant, I can't be sloppy. When I clean up the yard, it will also revitalize the country's assets. ”
"Yo, cultural people, you also know how to revitalize national assets." Director Yu's original banter paused after seeing Zhou Zhen's smile.
Zhou Zhen's demagogic ability was fully opened, and he said with a smile: "In order to get married, I have a lot of debts, so I want to rely on laid-off money to make ends meet." Director Yu, I don't have a lot of money, and your neighborhood committee doesn't care about this rent, the key is to turn the abandoned yard into a high-quality asset, do you think that's right? ”
Director Yu no longer made an official tone, hesitated for a moment and said: "Although there are only seven or eight rooms in that courtyard, the courtyard is not small, and the rent is at least 10,000 yuan a year." If you're in charge of fixing the house, I'll be in charge and get your first year's rent free. ”
Zhou Zhen nodded. "This condition is okay, when do you think you can sign a contract?"
"We'll have to sum it up, you come over tomorrow and we'll talk."
Zhou Zhen said again: "Director Yu, are there any short-term rentals around here?" This house is renovated, and it will take a month for me to open it, and I can't sleep in the field with my daughter-in-law. ”
"There are more people who want to rent a private house, and there are more people who are willing to rent a house. However, the time of your group is short, and the cost is a little higher. ”
"Understood."
She opened a stack of large books nailed up with A4 paper, looked at it for a while, looked up and said: "On the second floor of the community next to us, there is a one-and-a-half-room, which costs one hundred and five a month, and you only live for one month, counting the electricity bill, you will be charged two hundred." ”
Zhou Zhen asked, "Is there a bed in it?" ”
"That's nature, and there's the cabinet, it's the daily necessities, you have to buy it yourself...... You're going to open a restaurant, so you'll naturally eat in the restaurant, so let's not talk about it. ”
"Okay, then I'll rent it."
…………
It was dark, and Zhou Zhen and Wu Zhizhen finally settled down.
Didn't eat in the car at noon, tired all afternoon, both of them were lying in bed.
It's not that the body is tired, but the heart is tired.
On the first day I came to this world, I had to follow Liang Zhijun's memories to speak, do things, and consider the bits and pieces of this era, which was really more tiring than killing people in the world of "Fast and Furious 5".
The bed was covered by their wedding bed, and the bright red quilt gave this gray room a dazzling color.
Looking at the wife next to him lying there panting slightly, her slender body outlined a beautiful outline.
Zhou Zhen sat up straight. "Let's go to dinner. What do you want to eat? ”
Wu Zhizhen tilted her head slightly, not wanting to move. "I don't want to eat it."
Zhou Zhen pulled her up and said, "You didn't eat at noon, and you vomited all the way, I will feel distressed if I am hungry for you." ”
Liang Zhijun can't say such a numb word.
In the original play, he is a taciturn person, and Wu Zhizhen is even less talkative.
Such two people, if it were not for the introduction of marriage, would not have been able to come together.
Liang Zhijun's love for Wu Zhizhen is possessive, and he never cares what she thinks.
And Wu Zhizhen was coveted by the men around her, and she was powerless to resist.
Do they have love? Perhaps, but it is definitely just an accommodation forced by life.
Zhou Zhen wants to reverse this abnormal mode of getting along from the beginning, and he wants to make Wu Zhizhen love him and can't extricate himself.
Zhou Zhen's gentleness gave Wu Zhizhen intimate warmth, and also unbridled her emotions. She said a little coquettishly, "I don't want to get up." ”
"Then I will be taken to dinner by you, and I don't want you to walk."
Wu Zhizhen looked at him blankly, and then snuggled into his arms. "Will you always be so nice to me?"
"Yes." Zhou Zhen said affirmatively.
The ice city in September was already a little cold, Zhou Zhen carried Wu Zhizhen on her back, walking on the street, she was embarrassed to face the gaze of pedestrians, and wanted to come down several times, but was hugged by Zhou Zhen and couldn't get down.
Her attitude was not so resolute, burying her head in Zhou Zhen's neck, not looking at the eyes of the outside world, the sweetness in her heart overflowed, with a satisfied smile on her face.
Back at home, Zhou Zhen put her on the bed and sat on the edge of the bed.
She hugged him tightly from behind and never let go.
"You let go, I'll go and boil you a pot of water, you wash it first."
"Not loose."
"What's wrong?"
She choked up. "No one has ever been so nice to me."
"You are my daughter-in-law, of course I want to be good to you."
The fresh breath came to his face, and he hugged Zhou Zhen's arms harder and harder. "Let's live a good life in the future, I'll give you a ...... Big Fat Boy ......"
Her height of 164 is not short, but her bones are pitiful, and her whole person is extremely slender.
Feeling her emotion, Zhou Zhen didn't want to boil the water anymore, so he reached out and unbuttoned her clothes.
She closed her eyes, feeling Zhou Zhen's enthusiasm, only her rapid breathing seemed not so calm.
This woman who is dignified on the surface, but is actually enthusiastic is so similar to Wang Yuejun, the biggest difference is that she does not have Wang Yuejun's superior conditions, nor is she so confident.
Compared with Liang Zhijun's rough man, Zhou Zhen's tricks are more amazing, he has experienced all kinds of different women, and it is easy to provoke the enthusiasm of his opponents.
When he woke up the next day, he could clearly feel that she had a new attachment to him.
"You're going to work, aren't you?"
"I was about to tell you about it......"
"What?"
"I'm out of work anymore, I want to open a restaurant and make money. I want you to live in a big house, have nice new clothes, and live happily every day without having to work. These are things that we can't bring to work at work. ”
"Open a restaurant? Do we have the money? My parents have sucked your house dry, right? ”
"It doesn't matter. I still have these hands, and I can earn money. ”
A young girl who has just arrived in a big city with her husband does not have too many complicated thoughts.
Although she felt that her husband was no longer at work and it was a bit risky to open a restaurant, she still supported Zhou Zhen's choice.
In the morning, Zhou Zhen returned to the coal preparation plant and found the stationmaster.
Now is still the era when enterprises encourage employees to be laid off, and Zhou Zhen took the initiative to ask for layoff, which is what the stationmaster likes to see.
Not to mention anything else, just for the establishment of a state-owned enterprise, some people are willing to pay 20,000 yuan to buy it.
So in order to finalize this matter directly, all the documents were processed on the same day.
In addition to the 20,000 yuan subsidy for the laid-off, Zhou Zhen also received last month's salary, and now he has activity funds in hand.
However, because I was delayed in the factory for too long, I didn't have time to go to the neighborhood committee today.
The next day, Zhou Zhen came to the neighborhood committee and rented this yard without accident.
Then Zhou Zhen began to plan.
The house is renovated, the yard is leveled, and now there is not enough money on hand, everything has to be carefully calculated.
At the cost of a few packs of cigarettes, the coal preparation plant arranged for a few drivers to pull a few truckloads of cinders and dump them in the yard.
For fifty yuan a day, I asked a retired worker in the neighborhood to re-smooth the roofs of these rooms to prevent leaks.
The doors and windows cost Zhou Zhen the largest amount of money, only a few thousand yuan, and the rest of the funds are to buy all kinds of kitchenware and stoves.
