Chapter 116

Teacher Xue thought about it and didn't mention the money.

First, Mr. Gong was once his teacher, and he had respect for him. He didn't want to say that Mr. Gong sold it to someone else for a higher price, which was demeaning to him. Secondly, to be honest, he couldn't afford that price.

His sister only had a few thousand yuan in her hand. They had previously offered Mr. Gong three thousand yuan, and the remaining nearly two thousand yuan had to be paid by his family. That was their family's savings for decades. Although his sister said she would pay it back, to be honest, what could she use to pay it back? His wife has always been sensible. She was angry with him for this matter and told him that if he dared to use the money to buy a house for his sister, they would not live together, and his son and daughter would definitely not recognize him as their father anymore.

Of course, his wife also came up with a compromise idea, saying that if they had to buy it, it was okay. Then they would buy it, and the house would be theirs. They would move in and rent the house they were living in to his sister. Their family of five lived in a dormitory building with two bedrooms and a living room. The eldest son was about to get married, and his wife was also tempted by the house.

……These days, housing is allocated by the company. Even if you are rich, you may not be able to buy a good house. You have to sneak around to buy one.

But Mr. Xue doesn't know his sister's temper. If this plan is proposed, she will definitely explode.

It will almost make the family restless.

So he was worried about this matter.

But when he asked yesterday, he found out that there was no need to worry. The house had already been sold, and it was sold for 8,000 yuan.

What does 8,000 yuan mean?

He is a university teacher with a salary of only 46 yuan a month. His wife is a worker in a state-owned factory with a salary of 37-5 yuan a month. In addition, the eldest son pays 15 yuan a month. If the family lives frugally, they can save about 40 yuan a month after deducting the food and drink expenses. 400 yuan a year, plus the miscellaneous expenses of other family members for buying clothes and festivals, it is considered good to save 400 yuan a year. This 8,000 yuan will require him and his wife to save for 20 years, and this is assuming that there is no change or major event in their family... For example, if the two sons are getting married, the betrothal money for each marriage, the sewing machine, watch, bicycle, furniture, quilts and new clothes for the woman, all these miscellaneous things, it is estimated that they will spend a thousand or two thousand yuan at a time.

What do you say about saving money? There is simply not enough.

How can an ordinary family really raise a large amount of money to buy a house?

So he felt a little sorry, but also relieved.

Hearing his sister say this, he said, "Don't make things difficult for Mr. Gong. He is a member of the army. The leader of the department that returned the house directly talked to Mr. Gong. It was also because he wanted to buy it that the procedure was completed so quickly. Otherwise, look at those houses that were confiscated in the past. The policy says that they should be returned, but how many households can actually get them? Don't make things difficult for him."

Xue Yu's face fell suddenly, and he muttered, "So you are forcing people with power."

Teacher Xue frowned and said, "Okay, he can also say It's to help. Mr. Gong is old. If he is like others, it will take years to get the house. How can his body bear it? Don't complain. Let's see about the house. The price you offered can't buy the house. When I told Mr. Gong about it, it was like I was deliberately taking advantage of him. I was embarrassed. "

Xue Yu's face flashed with discomfort, and he said: "The price we offered is not low... You said that man bought it by trickery, so I don't know how low the price must be..."

"You justWhat nonsense are you talking about?"

Teacher Xue knew that her sister's mouth was full of nonsense. If she told others that they had forced her here with power, it might cause trouble. Finally, she said, "Mr. Gong said that they paid more than 8,000 yuan in one lump sum, and gave Mr. Gong time to slowly clean up the house. They also asked someone to help find a car to send the things to the capital. They did it very clearly and did not take advantage of Mr. Gong at all."

Xue Yu was shocked.

More than 8,000 yuan!

She had never handled more than 8,000 yuan in her life!

The man in military uniform with a broken finger flashed through her mind, and she murmured, "I can't tell. He doesn't look like he has any family background. I didn't expect that he has some background. No wonder he can marry such a beautiful wife. "

She sneered again.

Teacher Xue was surprised to hear this and asked her what was going on.

Xue Yu told her about the family of three she met on the train and the man in military uniform who went to the apartment building. Then she shook her head and said, "Even if he is rich and powerful, it's really hard to eat just by looking at his crippled hand."

Teacher Xue's face darkened all of a sudden. She couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table, saying, "Say less! He must have been injured in the army. He is a hero. Be careful not to bring trouble to you if you say that."

After that, she glanced at her niece who was sitting next to her and said, "Aren't you afraid of teaching your child bad things like this? "

Xue Yu also knew that he had said the wrong thing because of his momentary anger, and hurriedly said embarrassedly, "I'll just tell you, brother," and then lowered his head to drink tea.

Someone was talking about the house in the Nanzhou University family compound.

Lin Shu and Liang Jinxi were also talking about the house.

Liang Jinxi took Lin Shu and Zhenzhen back to the border village.

On the way, he gave Lin Shu the map of the house and the room layout.

The house is not particularly big, a duplex with two floors, two bedrooms and a living room downstairs, and two more rooms upstairs.

But for this era, it can be said to be a very luxurious house... Many families squeezed into a simple one-bedroom apartment.

And the price is , it seems like a sky-high price to ordinary people, that's because ordinary people are poor, in fact it's really not expensive... If this house was before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it would have cost tens of thousands of yuan.

This is because Nanzhou is located in a remote area, not in the capital or those big cities on the coast.

And Nanzhou University is only in the suburbs, not in the city.

The reason why Mr. Gong is willing to sell is largely because he is worried that he will not be able to get the house if he delays, given his family background.

In the past few decades, especially the past ten years of living in the cowshed, he has become a frightened bird, his body has collapsed, and he doesn't know how many years he can live. He just wants to deal with it quickly and take the money to the capital to find his little daughter and live the rest of his life well.

Lin Shu was very surprised and said, "It's so big."

"Yeah,"

Seeing that she was happy and in a good mood, Liang Jinxi said, "I should have taken you there to have a look, but it's late today, and it's not easy to go back to the border tonight. I have something to do tomorrow morning, so it's not easy to stay here for a day. Come back next time. And it's still messy inside and hasn't been cleaned up. "

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You are not living here now. Compared with this place, I would rather go to the border to see where you live now."

She asked him again, "However, do we have enough money for such a big house?"

Before, Lin Shu kept their money, but he came to buy a house. Before he came, Lin Shu took all their savings and gave him 10,000 yuan.

Don't ask her why she has so much money.

When they just got married, he gave her all his savings of 2,100 yuan.

Living in the military base costs less, and his allowances for the past five years plus various rewards for meritorious service are several thousand yuan.

Then she has been working for the past few years, working as an accountant on the farm, a teacher in a kindergarten, and she has also published many picture albums and children's story books over the years, which is a lot of money. In addition, her parents felt guilty that she got married too hastily, so they gave her some money... Although her parents had been sent down to the countryside for many years, Lin Shu's grandmother and Li Huiru's family had a good foundation, so it was not difficult to give them some money.

Lin Shu knew all this. When her mother went to the countryside, she had told her in detail what things were at home and how to arrange them.

The money and things her mother gave her were all gifts, so of course she would not refuse them out of shyness.

So it was not difficult for them to get together 10,000 yuan.

Liang Jinxi said: "It only cost 8,000 yuan, and I will give you the rest later."

Lin Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then we can still arrange the remaining money well. "

When she came over, her mother had to force another thousand yuan into her pocket, but she was afraid that they would have a hard time living here again, so she said no, he had always been very successful.

Liang Jinxi glanced at her from the side.

The familiar curved eyebrows and sweet smile could cure all the dry and obscure anxiety... As long as she was by his side, all those images and sounds were like shadows that only appeared in the dark, and once they met the sun, they would be annihilated.

Lin Shu blushed inexplicably when he looked at her.

She didn't know what was going on, but his eyes made her uncomfortable as soon as they met today... Although he didn't say anything, she always felt that it was a little weird.

That kind of look, as if he was completely oblivious to the people around him.

Zhenzhen was originally playing with the wooden car made by his father for him in the back seat of the car. This time, when he heard his parents talking, he also looked over. When he saw the blueprint in his mother's hand, he widened his eyes and said, "Dad, this isIs this the place where we are going to live?"

"In the future,"

Liang Jinxi didn't even turn his head back, and said, "Not yet, I'll take you to where your dad usually lives. You can hear wolves howling at night, and pythons may crawl into your house in the middle of the night."

Zhenzhen's ears stood up all of a sudden: "Really? Dad, can you tell me the story of the wolf and the python?"

He was not afraid at all, only excited.

Thinking of the wolf howling in the middle of the night, he wanted to "wow" twice. Anyway, with his dad there, what was he afraid of?

"Go home and tell your mom."

Liang Jinxi has never had much imagination, only his wife can tell stories to her son in a fanciful way.

Lin Shu pulled his son's little body back and smiled: "There are many things in this forest. Mom will draw a picture book for you later... and let your dad catch rabbits for you to raise."

He asked Liang Jinxi again, "Jinxi, can you raise small animals here? "

"Well," Liang Jinxi said, "You can raise a lot of things, and you can raise a turtle later."

This is the simplest.

When they go to Nanzhou, it will be convenient to leave it here or take it to Nanzhou.

Zhenzhen was even more excited.

Liang Jinxi drove for almost three or four hours to the destination, the border village.

Lin Shu sighed. He only had one day off a week, and it was not a good idea to drive at night all the time.

But it didn't matter when she thought about it. When she was studying, she would probably be very busy. He didn't need to come here every week. Besides, there were many winter and summer vacations in college. She could live here for several months a year. Thinking of this, she became happy again.

She didn't know that his arm was injured all the way.

Until they entered the border village and met Brigade Commander Lu at the gate of their yard. When Brigade Commander Lu saw them, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. His eyes paused on Lin Shu, and he didn't slow down. He just glanced at her quickly and said coldly to Liang Jinxi: "Jinxi, what's wrong with you? Your arm was just injured, and you drove all the way to Xizhou City, and then drove back from Xizhou City. Don't you want your arm anymore?"

Lin Shu turned to look at Liang Jinxi.

She didn't hear him say anything about his injury, and he drove for seven or eight hours with his arm injured.

Lin Shu was so scared that her face turned pale.

Liang Jinxi was helpless. It was just a flesh wound, and it would have scabbed over in three days. Is it that serious?

This is just to make trouble for him.
