Chapter 1836: See if you can help him out

Fu Yanming and Fu Yancheng were very tacit; they hurriedly greeted their wives and sons to eat, occasionally helping to pick up dishes that were out of reach.

Fu Yanwan picked up the small bowl in front of her: "Jiangfeng, help me serve some pickled cabbage fish."

Ren Jiangfeng took the bowl: "Now you're on the same level as the little ones."

The little ones who were eating happily all laughed when they heard Jiangfeng's words.

Lebao swallowed the food in her mouth and said softly: "Auntie has a baby in her belly, and we are babies too, so it's the same."

Fu Yanwan gave her little niece a thumbs up: "Look, your uncle isn't as good at talking as my Lebao."

For a time, the atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious.

Perhaps because Father Fu knew there was something to be said later, he didn't have a drink like he usually did.

After eating and cleaning up, Fu Yanwei asked Hao Yanhong to make a pot of tea: "Well, since everyone is gathered together today, I have something I want to say to everyone."

As he spoke, he looked at Father Fu, who was sitting at the head of the table.

Seeing Father Fu didn't speak, he had to continue himself: "It's like this. You all know that Yanhong and I have been renting a house. We originally wanted to wait for housing allocation, but the line of people waiting for housing is endless."

"And you all know that neither I nor Yanhong have been working for long, and we aren't model workers or advanced producers. Even if it really were our turn, I'm afraid we'd only be allocated a small ten-square-meter bungalow."

Once he said this, everyone had some idea in their hearts, but no one spoke, just waiting for him to continue.

Fu Yanwei saw that no one was saying anything and continued: "The day before yesterday, I got news that Master Guo at the factory is retiring next month. His two sons are both in the south, and the old couple is planning to sell the house and go south to join their sons."

"His house is private property. The courtyard has three main rooms in total, with two side rooms on the east and west. I specifically went to see the house after work yesterday. The house is quite good, so I discussed buying it with Yanhong."

When he said this, he coughed embarrassedly: "Well, you all know our situation. We really can't come up with that much money all at once, but if we miss this opportunity, we won't get it again. Instead of waiting for an uncertain housing allocation, it's better to grit our teeth and buy the house."

After saying that, he specifically looked at the fourth brother and his wife: "Actually, I also feel that what the fourth brother's wife said before was right. Having your own house makes life more stable in the future."

Seeing that no one intended to respond, he looked at Father Fu sitting at the head: "Dad, this matter..."

Father Fu looked at him: "He told me about this on the way back at noon. What do you all think?"

Fu Yanming, the eldest brother, spoke first: "How much does the house cost?"

Fu Yanwei coughed lightly: "I haggled with Master Guo for a long time. He said at least 8,500 yuan; he won't sell for less."

Fu Yanming looked at his fourth brother Fu Yancheng, then at the second brother Fu Yanwei: "How much money do you have on hand?"

Fu Yanwei said embarrassedly: "Including this month's salary, we can scrape together about 2,600 yuan."

As soon as this was said, Fu Yanwan laughed out loud: "I said Second Sister-in-law was so diligent and enthusiastic when she came back today; it turns out she has something to ask for."

However, although she said that, her tone wasn't mocking, but rather like teasing.

Father Fu glared at his daughter, then spoke: "If it were before, I definitely wouldn't help them open this mouth, but now it's different."

"The second daughter-in-law has now woken up and knows how to work with the second son for their own small family. This point makes me feel somewhat relieved. The second son's work promotion space is not small, and he is indeed working hard enough now. See if you can help him out?" ===== CHAPTER 1842 =====
