Chapter 73: The Beginning of Cohabitation
Zhang Fang, the eldest sister, was still very powerful, and it didn't take much effort to move Qin Jiumei's things into the room where Tong Hui lived.
In the past, Hou Dalin had already put away Tong Hui's things. Now those things have been packed by Hou Dalin and put in the new house on the other side of the scrap station.
The new house was almost cleaned up, and he thought he would move in when the sewers were repaired. It's just that now that Qin Jiumei is here, it's not good for him to move away so quickly.
"It's good, it's still spacious here, and one person can live in one room." Zhang Fang helped clean it up, and looking at this hut, she was not without envy. Although this room can't be said to be big, it is already rare and spacious compared to her home.
Qin Jiu'er couldn't answer this, what could she say? This time I followed Zhang Fang home, and the other party lived tightly, but it was just a matter of the house, not something that her little girl could do.
Zhang Fang also expressed emotion, thinking that this girl had a good life. Although he can't speak, he can be young and good-looking, and he can make Hou Dalin look at it differently.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fang's heart was a little sour. In her heart, she does think that Hou Dalin is very good, he is mature and steady, not like a teenager at all. That is, she is older now, otherwise she would want to try.
Thinking of this, she thought of her husband again. Remembering the good old days when they were together.
Seeing Zhang Fang's expression change and change in front of him, Xiao Jiu didn't understand this eldest sister even more. She tugged at the corner of Zhang Fang's clothes, her eyes full of inquiry.
"Nothing!" Zhang Fang checked the corners of his eyes, then changed his smile and said, "When I see you, I think of my family!" Don't laugh at my sister. ”
Then, Xiao Jiu and Zhang Fang sat in the middle room, Xiao Jiu was a good listener, listening to Zhang Fang talk about his past.
Hou Dalin had already gone out, and now that there were two women here, he was still a little uncomfortable, so today in the name of directing the construction, he ran to the scrap yard again.
"Brother Xie, at this rate, how long will it take to finish the sewer?" Hou Dalin asked the foreman who presided over the construction, this Xie Touer is the one who helped Hou Dalin change the doors and windows at the beginning.
Today, the renovation of toilets and the construction of sewers are also projects that Hou Dalin helped him win.
This small project is a small project for municipal and other state-owned enterprises. And it's a job like renovating public toilets, and no one wants to do it.
So Hou Dalin thanked the leader for this job, and they won it.
This kind of project, for them, is a rare fat. After completing such a project, at least they can cover their income for most of the past six months.
Therefore, Xie Touer is grateful to Hou Dalin and obeys his words.
"Stationmaster Hou, there will be five or six days at most. At the beginning, we planned according to half a month, so I didn't have too many people in terms of labor. How? Need to expedite it? If I need to speed it up, I'll find a few more people. ”
"No, that's right, I'm trying to add a sewer to my yard and make a branch to the main pipe here. You give the total, how do you need to get it! ”
"Oh, I wanted to tell you about this before, I've seen it all, just add a seven-inch clay pipe from here. …”
Xie Tou'er had already pondered about this matter, but Hou Dalin didn't mention it, so he didn't say much. Now that Hou Dalin asked, he told his previous thoughts and thoughts.
Hou Dalin listened to Xie Tou'er's plan, and then added a few words, and asked him to help prepare the materials.
"Brother Xie, you help me come in, the money will go to the account of our scrap station, and it will be the territory of our scrap yard, so it can't be put on the public account."
"Hey, okay, I'll look for Accountant Zhang when I go back."
"Also, my house also has to be installed with water and sewerage, and you can help me sum up the materials. You look for me for this money, and I will give it to you. It's my personal. ”
"Why is this so clear? How many meters of pipeline do you use? You don't have to worry about it, it's my thank you. ”
Hou Dalin smiled and said, "Lao Xie, you also said that it doesn't take a few meters, so let's do business." I'll give you the material money, but I won't give you the labor money, and your brother will help me install it. ”
"Okay, Brother Dalin, you still have a long-term view. I don't let others interfere in this little work, I come by myself, just to help you. Xie Tou'er understood what Hou Dalin meant, and then expressed his attitude.
By the end of the evening, the workers had all left work. Hou Dalin staggered back to the repair shop.
Zhang Fang had already left because she was in a hurry to cook for the family, and at this time, only Xiao Jiu'er was left at home.
The two of them ate silently, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
After eating, Xiao Jiu went to clean up with her hands and feet, and Hou Dalin also let her go, to be honest, for most men, it's okay to cook anything, if you really want to clean up the mess, few people like to do it.
The same is true of Hou Dalin, he also likes to cook and doesn't like to clean up. Of course, if someone cooks and makes him wait to eat ready-made, he is more willing.
A kitchen, no matter how much you clean up, it won't take much longer. Xiao Jiu'er, who was done with her work, went back to the middle room, and the two of them sat in a daze.
Hou Dalin sat on his chair as always, drinking tea. And Xiao Jiu'er was like a little girl, sitting in a corner, ready to help Hou Dalin bring tea and water at any time.
Neither of them spoke, Xiao Jiu couldn't speak, and Hou Dalin didn't know what to say.
When the time came, Hou Dalin went back to the house by himself, leaving Xiao Jiu'er a little at a loss.
Such days have passed for half a month in a row. Qin Jingru knew about Xiao Jiu's existence, and in her heart, it was a little sour. is also a rural girl, she is no worse than that Xiao Jiu, why did Hou Dalin recruit her, but he couldn't give herself a chance?
There is harm if there is comparison, Qin Jingru has played a temper with Xu Damao more than once recently, you always say that you are better than Hou Dalin, how can people find jobs for people, and you have not moved for a long time?
What can Xu Damao do? It can only be a flicker of all kinds of rhetoric. In fact, it was not only Qin Jingru, but the arrival of Xiao Jiu made many people in the courtyard feel sour.
Nowadays, a job opportunity is too rare, this Xiao Jiu is from the countryside, and he is still a mute, such people can work in the capital, why do they, who were born and raised in the city, have no jobs? It's so unfair!
