The sealed letters from his hometown flew thousands of miles to Zhang Guoqing's hands, and he saw that his parents were in good health, and they had nothing to do to watch TV and go shopping on the streets.

He was also relieved.

Especially when Zhang Lao Er mentioned that the eldest and his wife are now living in two places, not only are their ears quiet, but his eldest brother is also a little fatter and smiles more.

Zhang Guoqing was even more happy.

Regardless of whether Boss Zhang takes a step or not, whether he needs a divorce or something in the future, as long as he can live a smooth life.

Let go of the concern for your hometown, and the days will pass in a blink of an eye.

Not long after I had stored the cabbage at home, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the first snow of early winter began to arrive in pieces.

When the snow came, it also ushered in a happy event.

When she received a call from Aunt Zuo, she heard the laughter on the other end of the phone, and Zhou Jiao congratulated her again and again.

"Does my second sister-in-law know?"

"Stone has sent a telegram back to his hometown. The stupid boy was so happy that he almost walked on a crutch. Jiaojiao, I picked two yards. Are you free? Go with my aunt. ”

"If you are free, you have to take time out if you are not free, you say, when will it pass?"

"The sooner the better, and now that they live in the school, I don't feel at ease. I'll wait for them to move in, and I'll take care of them for a while. ”

Zhou Jiao raised her arm and glanced at the watch on her wrist, "It's almost time to get off work, I'll go out now, where do we meet?" ”

"How about the bus stop in front of Yue'er School?"

Zhou Jiao said yes with a smile. This time, Yue'er, all of a sudden, is happy, the big name and the small name come together, and I am probably confused when I meet someone who is not familiar with it.

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Jiao immediately dialed the phone number of Zhang Guoqing's office.

"Hey, who's that?"

Zhou Jiao smiled, "Your daughter-in-law." I'm in a hurry to get out right now, long story short. Xinyi is pregnant, Aunt Zuo asked me to go over to see the yard, I will go back later tonight, you don't have to come to pick it up. ”

"Can't wait for the weekend on such a cold day?"

Zhou Jiao shook her head with a smile, "I just called me at the end of work, and my second sister-in-law is not here, so I should have gone over early." You call your second brother and tell him the good news. ”

"Okay, be careful."

Aunt Zuo should have spent a lot of energy, and the two yards she picked for her granddaughter were good.

A small courtyard house is not big, but the environment is very good.

The courtyard is a more common pattern, the gate is open in the southeast corner, the owner and grandmother said that it is seven or eight rooms, really to count the inverted seats, a total of ten.

-- Three main rooms, one bright and two dark, four wings in the east and west, and three upside-down rooms.

It is said that when the family returned the property in the summer, there were still small buildings in a mess, and the traces of demolition still existed, and they had just been restored to their original appearance.

"I returned three yards, but unfortunately I couldn't find any furniture inside. I'm scared, just give me back the yard. If there are many yards, I don't dare to keep them in my hands. I was going to retire here when I was old, who knows, alas...... Do not say. ”

Zhou Jiao's eyes flashed when she heard this, "If you sell them all the time, where will your family live?" ”

"I'm just one seedling, and my daughters don't talk about it."

Zhou Jiao smiled apologetically when she heard this.

The old lady shook her head unmindfully, "It's all over." ”

Where is it all in the past? The old lady was obviously frightened, otherwise why would she sell the two yards in her hand. But everyone understands people, and no one has said anything.

Wait until you look at another yard.

The two yards cover about the same area, just as small. To be honest, there is nothing to pick, at first the small yard was close to the mouth of the alley, close to the bus station.

And this yard is in the depths of the alley, if you really want to have a car, you can't drive in, and there are still most of the miscellaneous courtyards around, and the environment is more complicated.

Without much consideration, Aunt Zuo got Zhou Jiao's opinion and began to bargain.

It's a pity that although the other party is old, he still has iron teeth, and he has to bite the yard for 4,500 yuan.

Money?

Zhang Lao Er has already revealed to Zhang Guoqing that he is expected to earn 5,000 yuan, so it is not that he can't get enough money.

When leaving to go to the bus stop, Aunt Zuo quietly asked, "Will it be expensive?" ”

Zhou Jiao shook her head when she heard this, and gave a rare suggestion: "My aunt has the money to buy that set of yards." Room by room, room by room, it will pay back in a few years. ”

"You buy it."

Zhou Jiao looked at her speechlessly, "I can't help it in the short term." ”

Aunt Zuo smiled happily and patted her comfortingly, "Don't you say that I haven't thought of this yet, it's still quite cost-effective to rent it to others, and the house will be your own after a few years." ”

"Hmm. You have a lot of people in your family, so you can buy it for your children. ”

"You think buying a yard is buying cabbage. However, the yard is difficult to find, and there is no such shop in this village. I'll discuss it with your uncle in the evening, and if it's okay, I'll buy it tomorrow. ”

Zhou Jiao smiled approvingly.

The yard is really hard to find. In this vicinity, the Shi Xiao couple searched for more than half a year, and finally Zuo Lin, who worked at the sub-bureau, inquired through an acquaintance.

There is also Yi Jiefang...... How many buddies does he have with Zhang Guoqing? I let out the wind and wanted to buy the yard near Houhai, but there has been no movement so far.

She often listens to her colleagues talk about housing, but the family can't live at all. Especially the veteran comrades who are over 40 years old, they are even more worried.

- If each family has several sons.

It would be better if the family had a private house, and the child would get married and make a room vacated. And I live in a unit allocation house, which is simply a peaceful day.

"Jiaojiao, is that Xiao Wu? When you are older, your eyes are not good. ”

Zhou Jiao heard the words and followed the direction of her finger, and a bus in the distance slowly drove away, revealing a corner.

A military vehicle was parked near the stop sign, and a tall figure leaned against the door.

Isn't that her man?

Zhou Jiao showed a bright smile, "It's him." Who said that Auntie, your eyes are not good, I didn't see it. ”

"People who are blind in the black light can't see clearly, but the car is parked under the bus stop sign, it should be your little five. Now it's okay, we don't have to squeeze the car. ”

"Hahaha, auntie, are you afraid of crowding the car?"

"Well, everything in the capital is good, but this is not good, it's too big, and there isn't even a carriage."

"When I first started college, I could still see tricycles and horse-drawn carriages."

"I still remember that you came to visit relatives before you went to college, and Xiao Wu also told me that in the capital, in addition to the three major tickets of food stamps, sugar stamps, and meat stamps, you can buy anything with money."

"It's going to get better and better in the future."

"Alas...... I hope I can see it while I'm alive. Aunt Zuo changed the topic with a smile: "Did your Aunt Cheng write to you recently?" ”

"She kept in touch with my mom. I heard my mother say that she still talked about you leaving, and she had one less place to visit the door, and asked if you want to go home for the New Year?

My mother also laughed for a long time, saying that you and my Uncle Zuo's home is in the capital. I also wrote a letter to her asking her to come over for a while for the New Year. ”

"Let your mother listen to your Aunt Cheng's nonsense. She followed her man to the provincial capital earlier than me, and she is now with your godmother every day. ”

Listening to her jealous tone, Zhou Jiaole laughed happily - the feelings between the old sisters are really indescribable.
