Chapter 851: Arranging Dormitories

~7 min read 1,369 words

Everyone was gathered in the courtyard chatting when Qiaoqiao suddenly said that, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to Aunt Lianhua.

This is a woman who works non-stop at home, but whose presence isn't strong.

Aunt Lianhua is fifty-two this year, her hair is gray and a bit sparse, but her face is round. When she smiles, there are lines on her face. Her short body is constantly moving, and she can't stay idle, like a generator that never gets tired.

But at this moment, this honest person who is always sincere has red eyes and a sour nose. For some reason, even though it's easy to be laughed at for crying, she really can't help but shed tears...

"I... I..."

She wiped them awkwardly, wanting to say something, but choked and couldn't say it.

Qiaoqiao said "Ah" in a flustered way, just about to ask something, when he heard Song Tantan say directly:

"Fine! Aunt Lianhua is alone, can we arrange the smallest one? 20 square meters! The 20-square-meter one is arranged with a 1.2m bed. Can you get used to sleeping in it?"

What's there to get used to? Not to mention that Aunt Lianhua just saw the house with everyone, this 20-square-meter one-bedroom, one-living-room, one-bathroom apartment with a small balcony...

What else could she be dissatisfied with?

You seemed not to see Aunt Lianhua's red eyes and full face of embarrassment, and at this moment just said it lightly and as if nothing had happened:

Aunt Lianhua was in a trance, but in that trance, she heard clearly, so she just covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly—

"But later, when the factory was opened, the dormitory could only use commercial and residential electricity... it's a bit expensive... you have to pay for it yourself."

"When can Professor Song come back?"

The mother-in-law is indeed like a biological mother to you, but the other one is also the flesh that fell from your body... You are not just one person's "mother"...

Zhang Yanping interjected with a giggle: "Aunt Lianhua, you can't refuse this. These are all purchased uniformly, it's not expensive. The stove is dangerous."

You don't dare, you are too honest, and you only speak dialect, and you don't know many characters. You got married to take care of your husband and children, and later took care of your paralyzed mother-in-law. You have really worked hard all your life.

As for chairs, tables, cabinets... you can slowly ask about those when you go to the market!

"There are only shower heads and squat toilets in the room now. The beds are to be installed uniformly with air conditioners and water heaters. There is also a large table, and nothing else."

But you only need people to say "This is your house," and you either swallow your anger to seek a place, or eventually have nowhere to go, panicked like a stray dog...

Clearly talking about paying money, Aunt Lianhua suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Fine! Fine, I'll pay it myself... Who should I pay it to? Or pay directly on WeChat?"

The corner unit on the second floor with the best sunlight is a full 50 square meters, the smallest area! The other corner unit is for Master Jiang, which is about the same size.

Does that even need to be said!

Therefore, she just cautiously changed the subject: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. Let's divide the dormitories first—where do Professor Song and the others live?"

Helping the Qiaoqiao family, washing vegetables, tidying up bowls and chopsticks, doing some hygiene... During this period, you don't have to take care of your mother-in-law, and you don't have to think about your children and husband. For you, it's a rare relaxation and peace.

But the Song family's consideration didn't stop there.

Because Qiaoqiao soon took out a key: "Aunt Lianhua, you have helped a lot in our family—come, the one assigned to you is a room on the 2nd floor. The room number is pasted on the key, you can change the lock yourself."

But the Song family's consideration didn't stop there.

Ah, it's really true, how can there be so many trivial details after the house is handed over!

Thinking of this, Qiaoqiao couldn't help but mutter:

But... this is a dormitory, a place that belongs to you after it's assigned, and only you live in it!

At this moment, she wiped her tears in a panic, her voice was still hoarse, but she was smiling on her face: "Don't worry about the curtains, there are plenty of old bed sheets and quilt covers at home, I can make them myself!"

"You hold the key. You can go up the mountain to see what's missing when you're free during this time. If you want anything, you have to add it yourself... Curtains, chairs, and the like, it's also quite worrying."

"But you're not living in for free. You have to pay for water, electricity, and hygiene fees yourself... When we applied for the farm, it was specifically planned for agricultural electricity."

Lu Ji said helplessly: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, Aunt. Let's wait until we have arranged the specific people, and then tell you. You can go up and see when you have nothing to do during the day."

You are a bit uneasy: "It's fine to have a fan in the room... You can also roast a stove in winter... Why are there such expensive things installed? I don't use them."

No matter how you do moisture-proofing on the 1st floor, the humidity is relatively a bit heavier. Furthermore, the light is slightly worse. For Master Jiang, who is recovering from a serious illness, and Professor Song, who is older, the 2nd floor without a few steps is the most suitable.

This hasn't been decided yet!

Zhang Yanping:... You'd better stop talking, tomorrow you'll name me the Chief Steward! How come everything is thought of on my head?

The more this happened, the more Aunt Lianhua was afraid of making things difficult for you.

You really couldn't say anything anymore.

You were taken care of as a child by Song Tantan, and suddenly she said she would assign you a dormitory—you know this isn't for you.

Qiaoqiao turned his head: "Brother Yanping..."

Takeout doesn't reach home, express delivery doesn't reach home, there is no separate, closed, and safe small space for single young people, which is too much of a test of survival skills for most young people who don't work and don't know the five grains.

50 square meters, also partitioned into two bedrooms and one living room, with basic furniture and appliances, and the rest, we have to slowly arrange according to our own wishes.

But is this environment too good? Why are there air conditioners and water heaters?

Why are so few people willing to stay in the countryside to work now? Resources are one part, and the living environment is another part.

She got married, and there was no place for her in her parents' home, not to mention that her children are married now.

And the woman who married in has no property. Although Qiaoqiao is silly, the words he said were direct—if one day the man at home comes back to quarrel with her and drives her away with a stick, people in the village will sympathize, will take her in for a day or two, and perhaps the village will come to persuade her.

You are not in a hurry!

And now, only by planting the phoenix tree can you attract the golden phoenix!

You said it was troublesome, but for Aunt Lianhua, where is it troublesome? It is clearly the ladder for you to settle down step by step.

My first reaction was to refuse, but for some reason, before refusing, I stole a glance at Xin Jun—this guy looks thick-browed and big-eyed, shouldn't he be throwing a boomerang again?

You have been to the city the furthest in your life, and you can't go twice a year. If you tell me to be independent and strong, divorce and go out to work... ===== CHAPTER 852 =====
