Chapter 41: Change Room in Advance
Chapter 41: Change Room in Advance (First Update)
The Chen family has a very rich dinner today.
There is braised fish, crucian carp and tofu soup, and cabbage stewed with lard.
It was to celebrate Wang Dong's achievements in the steel mill and also to celebrate the fact that the steel mill allocated a house to Wang Dong.
When introducing the ear room and the courtyard just now, Wang Dong had already told him all the plans for the house.
Chen Jun was very excited!
Although the Chen family occupied the entire east wing of the front yard, with an area of more than 50 square meters, the average area per person was more than 10 square meters, which was more than most residents in the courtyard.
But after subtracting the living room for dining, the remaining area can only be divided into three small rooms.
Parents live in one room, Wang Dong lives in one room, and Chen Jun and her sister live in one room.
It's not crowded, but it's not spacious either.
Chen Jun really wants to have a room of his own.
My fiancé Wang Dong actually realized his dream without realizing it.
An ear room of more than 20 square meters can be divided into at least two rooms.
It is completely possible for my younger sister and I to each have a room.
By then, you will have an independent space that belongs to you to live and study!
From the moment he looked at the ear room, Chen Jun's face was filled with a smile from the bottom of his heart.
Wang Dong could sense Chen Jun’s desire to have a house of his own as soon as possible, but the wing was too shabby and had to be overhauled and renovated before he could move in.
In addition to moving running water, opening a door on the east wing, building a kitchen and bathroom...
Even if all the expenses are added up, three hundred yuan may not be enough.
But the total money I had on me was only more than ten yuan.
If you want to save up 300 yuan through normal channels, it will take at least half a year.
Not only I can't wait, but Chen Jun can't wait either.
She will take the high school entrance exam after the Chinese New Year.
He must have a good learning environment to help him improve his grades and get into his ideal high school instead of going to a technical secondary school.
In Wang Dong's eyes, Chen Jun is a good candidate for university study and it would be a waste of his talent for him to take the technical secondary school entrance exam.
Moreover, from now until the wind blows, it will be enough time for Chen Jun to graduate from university.
So now there are a total of two problems facing Wang Dong that need to be solved.
One was to continue saving food for the family, and the other was to find ways to earn more money and repair the ear room as soon as possible so that Chen Jun could move in.
Seeing Wang Dong frowning and lost in thought from time to time, and thinking about how Chen Jun had just mentioned several times that he wanted to live in the ear room, Chen Dehui quickly figured out the reason.
"Dongzi..."
"You want to renovate the annex quickly, but you don't have the money?"
Wang Dong immediately showed an embarrassed expression on his face.
Although no response was given, the default is the best answer.
Chen Dehui then winked at his wife, and soon Aunt Li took out an iron box.
Chen Dehui opened the box very carefully...
It contained his military medals, discharge certificate, various banknotes, and a passbook...
Chen Dehui didn't hesitate at all and handed the passbook to Wang Dong, saying, "Here is a portion of the money I didn't use up when I was discharged from the army. The rest is the five to ten yuan a month I saved up slowly after working at the steel mill."
"Four hundred and fifty dollars in total..."
"I'll leave it all to you..."
"Should be enough to repair the house!"
Wang Dong quickly refused: "Uncle...Aunt..."
"This money is all from your hard work and thriftiness. I can't take it!"
“I can earn my own money…”
"At worst, I can go fishing a few more times at the riverside during my breaks..."
“It will take at most two or three months to save up this much money!”
"Take it..."
Although Chen Dehui was injured and disabled, his dignity was not affected at all. He looked at Wang Dong with a firm face.
"As long as you still consider us a family, take it..."
"We are one family and we don't have different opinions..."
"The little money your aunt and I have saved will be given to you sooner or later..." Wang Dong couldn't stand Chen Dehui and had to accept the passbook.
Then he put the passbook in front of Aunt Li: "Aunt..."
"I have to go to work tomorrow and I don't have time to go to the bank to withdraw money!"
"I'm sorry to bother you with this trip... Two hundred dollars should be enough first!"
Chen Dehui interrupted again: "Just give Dongzi three hundred..."
"I'm not dead yet, I have the final say in this family!"
"Take out another fifty dollars..."
"Exchange all the bills Dongzi has brought back recently for food and daily necessities."
"Save everything you can..."
“Especially pork…”
"Dongzi brought back all the iron barrels used for smoking bacon. Let's try to make all the smoked bacon before the New Year and have a prosperous New Year!"
"Now if you want to repair your house, you have to go to the street office..."
"Your aunt knows the street director, Wang..."
"Just ask him to go to the street office and make an appointment with the repairman..."
"Let's set it for tomorrow night..."
"When you come back, discuss with the master how to renovate the annex and try to finish it before the end of the year..."
"Let Chen Jun move in after the New Year."
"Since she has the ability to go to college, she should study hard and try to get into a good high school and a good university in the future!"
After listening to Chen Dehui's overbearing arrangement, Wang Dong suddenly became speechless.
He didn't expect Uncle Chen's arrangements to be so thoughtful and take almost everything into consideration.
I agreed very much and immediately responded...
"Then I will pickle the pork tomorrow..."
"Uncle smokes it at home..."
"Aunt, please open up the vegetable patch in the courtyard... We'll plant some vegetables in the spring!"
"I have time to go fishing more..."
"During the Chinese New Year, when everyone wants to buy meat and fish, we send the small fish to the Pigeon Market to sell, and make the big fish into smoked fish to save for later consumption!"
…………
Steel rolling mill building management department.
Yi Zhonghai stuffed several packs of cigarettes into Wang Dong's mouth before he finally found out why Wang Dong was able to get a house as soon as he joined the steel rolling mill!
"Section Chief Zhang..."
"You mean Wang Dong's housing was decided by Director Li of the Logistics Department..."
Yi Zhonghai stared with eyes full of confusion, unable to understand how Wang Dong was related to Director Li of Logistics.
There are already rumors in the factory.
After the Chinese New Year, Director Li of Logistics will be promoted to deputy director of the steel rolling mill, a truly powerful figure.
The deaf old lady has lost her backer, Director Yang. If Wang Dong's backer at the steel mill is Deputy Director Li, then she, an eighth-level fitter, is really no match for him.
But all this is just speculation.
Maybe it was just an accident that Wang Dong was able to get Director Li to give him an apartment.
With this consideration and luck, Yi Zhonghai continued to ask with an attitude of breaking the casserole to get to the bottom of it: "Section Chief Zhang..."
"Even with Director Li's approval, Wang Dong, an apprentice, is not eligible for a room!"
"I suggest that the factory must thoroughly investigate this matter. If everyone knew that the steel mill allocated housing to an apprentice, the regular workers in the factory who have not yet been allocated housing would definitely make a scene!"
Section Chief Zhang immediately realized that Yi Zhonghai was here to cause trouble.
I thought he was an eighth-level fitter in the factory, so I gave him face and told him about Wang Dong's housing allocation.
I didn't expect him to be so ignorant.
His brows suddenly wrinkled.
