In the room, Zhang Cailing started to apply pearl ointment in front of the mirror, and she kept mumbling: "This expensive thing is so good. It is so delicate when applied on the face. Lao Su, look at my face, isn't it better?" It was worse when I was young.”
"Well, it's pretty good. She looks like a big girl." Su Zhengshan only gave a perfunctory glance. He had been looking at each other's faces in the bed for decades. No matter how delicately the face was painted, he could not see the passion. .
On the other hand, the heroine of the TV series playing in front of her, Feng Chengcheng, had a graceful figure and lovely appearance. She was like a fairy. Su Zhengshan regarded her as the lover of his dreams.
A black and white color TV of less than 15 inches was playing a hot broadcast on Shanghai Beach. Su Zhengshan squatted down to watch it on time every day, just to catch a glimpse of Feng Chengcheng.
Sometimes when he looked at Feng Chengcheng, he always felt like his short-lived first-time wife, whom he often missed after decades passed.
As we get older, we miss the past, and besides, they are still a young couple, so Su Zhengshan loves them in his heart.
When he saw the touching scene, he squeezed out two tears.
Zhang Cailing couldn't stand it, "Watching crappy TV will impress you. You know that Feng Chengcheng is beautiful, but you don't have to worry about it so much."
"Nonsense, I'm looking at Xu Wenqiang!" Su Zhengshan said harshly, but as soon as Feng Chengcheng appeared, his eyes were like a fly staring at flesh, very rare.
As the two of them talked, the door was pushed open, and a man in his sixties walked in, with gray hair and a pair of reading glasses. The temples of the reading glasses were broken and wrapped with white bandages.
This man is Su Zhengshan's former colleague in the cannery called Hong Changhai. He retired two years earlier than Su Zhengshan. His uncle now also works in the cannery and is the deputy director. He was just promoted to the cannery for a few days, but he was already very arrogant.
"Lao Su, look at Shanghai Beach again!"
Hong Changhai sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.
Zhang Cailing used to be annoyed the most by him coming to visit at night, disturbing people's sleep, and talking nonsense, which made the people who listened to them feel cocooned.
But now that his son-in-law has become the deputy director of the cannery, Zhang Cailing doesn't like it in her heart, but she doesn't dare to show it on her face.
Moreover, Zhang Cailing recently heard that the cannery has newly opened several staff rooms, which have three rooms and an open courtyard. The rooms also have running water and flushing toilets.
In the past, only the middle-level leaders of the cannery were eligible to live in such staff rooms. However, in recent years, the cannery's performance has not been good. Many employees have resigned or retired. The staff rooms that were originally overcrowded are now empty.
In order to make some profit, the leaders of the cannery decided to give the vacant employee rooms to current employees who needed them, but they had to pay to replace them.
At less than 200 yuan per square meter, the price is very cheap, and many employees are attracted by it.
Zhang Cailing was also moved. Seeing that Su Peng was getting married when she got old, but the wedding house was not yet available. If she could grab the replacement house in the cannery, the original two-bedroom apartment would become a three-bedroom apartment with running water. and flushing toilets, this life will be much more comfortable!
Besides, when I was looking for a wife for Su Peng, I mentioned that I had a three-bedroom house, how decent it was!
Furthermore, Su Peng works in a furniture factory and is a man with an iron job. He is also energetic. Maybe he will be attracted by the daughter of a high-ranking official. Then this little life will be prosperous~
"Brother Hong, I heard that our cannery has released a batch of replacement houses. Your uncle is the deputy director of our cannery, so he must know some inside information." Zhang Cailing enthusiastically stuffed two apples into Hong Changhai's hand.
Hong Changhai had been a bachelor for seven or eight years, and he had already forgotten what it was like to be a woman. Zhang Cailing's attentiveness made him feel weak.
"As for this inside information...my uncle actually told me." Hong Changhai took a bite of the apple.
"I heard that the leaders of this cannery are planning. This replacement house is very cheap. It only costs 180 yuan per square meter. The main reason is that the house is good. It has three bedrooms and one living room, a full 100 square meters. It is spacious and has a good orientation. Su Peng Aren’t you married yet? This house is just right for you.”
"Xiaoyan is still in medical school and won't be able to get married for a while. Su Peng still has to get married and have children in this house. You can't squeeze so many people into a house with less than two rooms. Is it possible that Xin My daughter-in-law comes in and lets me live in a small side house of less than five square meters."
Hong Changhai's words touched Zhang Cailing's heart.
In the past six months, many people have proposed marriage to Su Peng, but Zhang Cailing has not agreed. First, there is no good girl, and second, the current conditions of her family... It is a bit difficult to marry a wife, mainly because of the house problem.
When the new daughter-in-law walked in, there were several people crowded into this house of less than two rooms.
The young couple wanted to have a baby in the middle of the night, but they had to do it secretly, which was very frustrating.
But it would be convenient if we lived in a big three-bedroom house.
"Brother Hong, my old Su is retired, is he eligible to buy a replacement house?" Zhang Cailing asked.
"Why are you not qualified? When Old Su worked in the factory, he was an advanced employee every year. He has seniority and a glorious resume. Besides, your Su Peng is old enough and wants to get married. This house should be given to you." Hong Chang Hai spoke eloquently, "The replacement housing in our factory is pretty good. The key is that it only costs 180 yuan per square meter. Isn't this a bargain?"
Cannery is not the first company to engage in housing replacement.
Several factories in Nancheng have done this, firstly to meet the housing needs of grassroots employees, and secondly to solve the problem of stranded factory employees' housing, and to increase the factory's income.
This factory is not very profitable, and the upper management always finds ways to make money to line their own pockets.
"180 yuan is quite cheap, but given my family's conditions... it's really a bit difficult." Su Zhengshan was also a little worried.
Over the years, he and Zhang Cailing had saved a lot of money for Su Peng to marry his daughter-in-law through frugality, but that was only enough to give her daughter-in-law a gift and a banquet, which totaled less than two thousand yuan.
The replacement houses in this factory are all three-bedroom, and the smallest one has an area of more than 90 square meters. The replacement house will cost more than 10,000 yuan.
This is going to cost a life. It's over 10,000 yuan, and there's no way to borrow it.
No matter when, the important life event of marrying a wife is indispensable without the involvement of the house.
Su Zhengshan remembered that when he first got married, he only had an earthen house in the countryside, which was built with red soil mixed with grass stalks and leaves. There was not a single brick. He lived quite comfortably at that time and even gave birth to a baby.
But now, when this young man gets married, he may want to throw in all the hard-earned money of his parents for decades.
It is said that this son will be able to provide for him until he is old, inherit the family business, and have someone to take over his household registration book.
But Su Zhengshan felt that this son was not as good as his daughter. At least his daughter could still think about him every now and then and buy him two kilograms of beef and half a kilogram of snacks.
This son, it would be nice if he doesn’t ask you to spend money with your palms turned up.
