At noon the next day, the family was having a meal. There was a knock on the door outside, Zhang Guoqing motioned to everyone for them to continue eating, and got up to open the door.

Standing outside the door, Zhang Lao and his wife carried stones and ears of wheat, carrying baskets in their hands.

"Why is your door locked now? Have you eaten? As soon as Zhang Lao Er saw him, he immediately asked.

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly let them in and said with a smile: "Come in and eat together." Daddy mentioned you just now. Second sister-in-law, are you carrying a basket? It's not going to be food again, is it? ”

"Not a good thing. Daddy is in there, right? We have something to discuss with you. Lin Juhua said with a smile.

The group entered the kitchen, and Zhou Jiao beckoned them to eat together. Zhang Lao Er hurriedly refused, their family had just eaten in the cafeteria, and there was no need for their brother to be polite.

After drinking a bowl of soup, Dad Zhang put down his chopsticks and looked at the second child.

"Dad, you eat first. There's no rush on what I'm going to say. ”

"Less nonsense. Do you have to go to work in the afternoon, are you in a hurry to come over with your family? Go ahead. Daddy Zhang smiled.

Zhang Guoqiang smiled hesitantly and pointed at Lin Juhua.

Seeing this, Lin Juhua hurriedly sat down and said, "Dad, Xiao Shishi has become an accountant, and my brother-in-law and his father are going to come down in the next two days." In the morning, there was another quarrel in their house, and his mother fell this time, and was about to send it to the county seat. Except for the boss, everyone else ran home and disappeared. I saw that something was wrong, so I hurried to find the child's father. Do you want to send a letter to the eldest sister's family? ”

Dad Zhang nodded, didn't say what to do, and then asked, "Is there anything else besides this?" ”

"Yes. The old captain asked Xiao Wu to go back this weekend. I asked him what was going on, and he said good things and nothing else. The uncle also asked Xiao Wu to go back to his hometown, saying that he didn't know how to go home to talk about the situation when he went to the capital. Nothing else, the family is fine. ”

Mother Zhang smiled when she heard it: "Xiao Wu really wants to go back." You go home and say he didn't go to work this weekend, and we'll all go back. Child's father, do you want to talk to Chunming when you see your in-laws? ”

Dad Zhang nodded and said, "The second family is doing a good job!" Now that we know about it, we should inform Meimei and let the two of them go home quickly, and they have to be sent to the hospital first. No matter what happens to their family, our family can't have unfilial descendants. The child's mother and I will go to the beautiful home first. The family is handed over to Jiaojiao. ”

Zhou Jiao hurriedly replied to him, letting them rest assured, and secretly worried about Zhang Meili in her heart. The hard-working eldest sister is going to boil up again. She looked at Zhang Guoqing, only to see him shaking his head slightly.

As soon as Zhang's father and the two left, Zhang Guoqing said, "Let's not go over." Let's see how my brother-in-law's brother deals with it first. If we pass, we won't be all on the eldest sister. No one's money is blown by the wind. Ouch, I'm only about 30 yuan a month, and I'm worried to death. ”

Zhou Jiao and the others laughed when they heard this, and it was rare to hear that Zhang Guoqing would be worried about money.

Zhang Lao Er smiled, woke up, and hurriedly asked, "Did you spend all the money when you went out this time?" I have money in my hands, you use it first. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to buy a house, and it's useless to put the money on. ”

Lin Juhua then said, "Hmm." We have all the money we have saved, and it's useless. Use our family first. After a few years, I won't be able to buy a house enough to ask you again. If my family has money, I'm always afraid that people will borrow money, so I'd better let you go. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone laughed again.

Zhang Guoqing squeezed his eyes at his second brother and quipped: "Are you unable to sleep peacefully at night, just afraid of being stolen?" Someone who came in broad daylight was startled, for fear that someone would borrow money? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll send it over tomorrow. Is it too late? Zhang Lao Er kicked him and laughed.

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly stopped, "Don't take it seriously, we have money in our hands." Not to mention what my father-in-law gave, how many red envelopes are safe? This time I came back, not to mention anything else, in the provincial capital, we received red envelopes and received soft hands. ”

Zhang Lao Er listened to it and thought about it. There were a lot of red envelopes on the child that day. glanced at Zhang Guoqing whitely, it's fun to tease him?

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly persuaded him to start buying a house. Money is put at home and does not produce small money. If you buy it early, you can still have a rent, buy a house, move your household registration, and have food rations. No matter how you calculate, it's all earned.

Zhang Lao Er and Lin Juhua were very moved when they heard it, and after discussing it, they decided to buy it. They didn't plan to rent it to anyone else, but they had a lot of basic food rations.

Zhang Guoqing saw that it was almost time to go to work, so he asked Lin Juhua to stay and wait for Zhang's father and mother to come back, and then go to Aunt Wang of the neighborhood committee to inquire about the news. The two brothers had to rush to the unit.

After an hour, as soon as Zhang's father and the two went home, Lin Juhua said Zhang Guoqing's suggestion and asked them to take her to find Aunt Wang together.

Mother Zhang told her not to worry, and pulled her back to the living room. After everyone took their seats, Zhang's mother mentioned the news she had found from Aunt Wang next door.

She has a colleague who has a yard to sell, so she walks five minutes behind the supply and marketing cooperative, five old houses with earthen embryos. The asking price is five hundred dollars, and there is room for bargaining.

When Lin Juhua heard this, she immediately looked at Daddy Zhang. She didn't know if it was good or not, so she could only let her father-in-law call the shots.

Father Zhang thought about it for a while, and asked his wife to take his two daughters-in-law to the neighborhood committee to inquire if there were any houses nearby. He still likes that this neighborhood is clean and clean, and the neighbors are kind and easy to get along with. The ground across the road is low, and I heard that the water often does not go down in the summer rains. Last year he was passing by and saw people making trouble and fighting.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the neighborhood committee. As soon as they arrived at the door, Aunt Wang smiled and pulled them into the house.

The people in the office are all from the neighborhood and are very familiar with each other. Everyone exchanged a few words of greetings and made a few jokes.

Zhou Jiao began to talk about business and asked everyone to help find a house. She didn't mention any conditions, she just smiled and said that she had to manage the community of the eldest mother and sister, and she was not at ease in other places.

Everyone listened to her flattering words and happily began to talk. One sentence per person, even those who are not registered and may be sold are reported.

Zhou Jiao was sweating profusely when she heard it beside her. It seems that most of the people in this neighborhood have no secrets to hide from this gang of women. She smacked her tongue secretly, and even knew how much some people privately subsidized their mother-in-law's family, not to mention whose men were not serious and secretly raised little girls.

Mother Zhang and Lin Juhua were fascinated by it, and they had long forgotten to buy a house. I heard big news today, and I can actually deduce the family income from the number of toilets at the door in the early morning. They really don't notice these details in the countryside. Lin Juhua couldn't help but think on the side, what if someone goes to the public toilet?

Zhang's mother heard them talking about whose daughter-in-law went to the bathhouse several times a month and how much it would cost, and guessed whether it was enough to lose her salary. She hurriedly looked at Zhou Jiao, and the two looked at each other and didn't dare to laugh. This will make the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law very weak-hearted, they go to the bathhouse twice in three days, each time one person has two cents, and they are more defeated than others.

After an hour, Aunt Wang took the list in her hand and reported it to everyone. Q: Is that all there are? She was amazed again and again that it was only February after the Chinese New Year, and there were several families who wanted to sell their houses.

After speaking, she called Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to follow her to see the house. According to her meaning, everyone went to see it, and it was okay to go shopping anyway.

I looked at five in a row and asked the lowest price. Zhang's mother and Lin Juhua discussed and chose two families to let Aunt Wang help explore the bottom price, and made an appointment to bring her son over after work to confirm the implementation.

Zhang Lao Er learned the news after getting off work, and without saying a word, he directly chose the yard closest to Zhang Guoqing's house near the unit.

The explanation he gave was that the family was developed and transferred to other counties. It is good to buy that feng shui, and it will be convenient for the parents to go back and forth between the two sons in the county in the future. The children of the other family are not filial, and he deserves it very well.

His words made Zhang's father very happy and urged him to pay the money quickly.

Except for Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing who got off work, the family all went to see the house. When they came back an hour later, they were smiling and saying they wanted to celebrate.

It is almost the size of Zhang Guoqing's yard, and it takes less than ten minutes to walk to his house, and the final price is 600 yuan, which is indeed not expensive.

Zhang Guoqing had already prepared wine and food and did not let Zhang Lao Er go to the restaurant. The six hundred yuan was spent, and it is estimated that his second brother does not have much money in his hands, and it is worth it if nothing else is that his father and mother will be happy.
