Classmate Li Ming pretended to take out ten big black tens from his pocket and put them on the table.
"Mom and Dad, I saved this when I was in school in the past few years. Of course, most of it was sold by me fishing."
"Here, let me contribute some to our family."
Father Li's eyes widened when he saw it. He knew that his children had been saving money in the past few years, but he really didn't expect that he could earn so much from fishing? If Yan Laoxi'er found out about this, he would have to chop off his own hands. And it’s more than my own private money!
Mother Li was also quite surprised. She also felt that it was not realistic to make money from fishing, mainly because of Yan Fugui's record.
"Wow, brother, how many fish do you have to sell for this!" Li Rui's eyes flashed with admiration.
Comrade Li Ming Xiao Xiong spread his hands and said, "How do I know? I've been here for several years."
"Son, take it and use it. Our family still has money to store some food. You will go to work soon, so you have to keep some money on hand." Mother Li looked at her eldest son with a gentle expression.
Comrade Li Weiguo swore that he had never seen his wife be so gentle to him since they got married.
As a result, Li Ming took out another fifty yuan from his pocket, "The main reason is that I still have..."
For a moment, an awkward atmosphere began to pervade.
"Ahem, son, it's useless for you to bring so much. Leave it to me and I'll save it for you." Comrade Li Weiguo said with a shy face, wanting to add some weight to his small treasury.
But Mother Li slapped her hand, "My son saved it himself, why should I give it to you? Just keep it for yourself, son."
Seeing his mother-in-law being so domineering, Li Ming chuckled and said, "No, my sister will give you five yuan. You don't have much, so you have to save some money for five yuan."
Li Rui rolled her eyes, quickly took it into her hands, then cleverly rushed to the kitchen with the bowl and started washing the dishes.
"By the way, son, do you want to find a wife for you?" Mother Li watched her sister run to the kitchen to help her wash the dishes, and now she began to make plans for her son.
Li Ming curled his lips and said, "Mom, although you are much more reliable than dad, let's stock up on food first. If there is really not enough food, it would be a huge trouble to have one more person in the family."
After saying that, he quickly got up and slipped into his room, leaving only the couple looking at each other.
The next day.
Li Ming still got up early, preparing to follow his mother to the street office to secure his own house.
Li Ming rode his bicycle and took his mother straight to a courtyard house where the sub-district office was located. He heard that it had been left by a wealthy family before, but was later requisitioned by the sub-district office. The area was much smaller than their courtyard house, and it was classified as a second-level courtyard house.
"Sister Wu, it was Xiao Ming who brought you here today!" a street office aunt said hello when she saw the two of them.
Wu Fang chatted with the other party for a few words, and then continued walking in with Li Ming. The staff of the subdistrict office she met along the way greeted Wu Fang warmly.
Entering the second courtyard room, someone was already clearing away desks.
"Sister Wang, my son's job has been completed. The steel rolling mill has allocated two rooms in our courtyard. Today I will take Xiao Ming to our subdistrict office to implement it."
Director Wang looks to be in his forties, and his smart and capable appearance makes him quite elegant.
"Xiao Ming, you've grown so big, it's good, now your work has fallen behind." Director Wang looked at Li Ming with a smile and said.
"And he looks a lot stronger." He also squeezed Li Ming's shoulder.
"Hello Aunt Wang." Li Ming greeted honestly.
When Li Ming was a child, his mother often took him to the subdistrict office to take care of the children while working. He was still very kind to Director Wang, also known as Aunt Wang.
"Xiao Ming, why aren't you assigned to our street office? Do you dislike Aunt Wang?" Director Wang joked, feigning anger.
Li Ming shook his head repeatedly, "No, it's all about the school. Aunt Wang, you have to go to the school to find them."
The two of them chatted and laughed for a while before settling on the house, and then took out a bunch of keys.
"Let's go. It just so happens that Aunt Wang has nothing to do today. I'll go with you two. This will also save you from having any ill-intentioned people in the courtyard."
Obviously, their courtyard house was already quite "famous" even before the plot started.
The three of them walked to the courtyard, talking and laughing along Route 11.
"Sister, you see that your Xiao Ming is getting older. Do you have any ideas for him to go on a blind date?" Director Wang asked curiously.
Li Ming pursed his lips after hearing this, and took two quick steps to distance himself from them.
Wu Fang smiled and said, "I just mentioned it to him last night, but he's not in a hurry. Sister Wang, if you have someone suitable over there, why don't you introduce it to Xiao Ming first?"
Director Wang heard that there was a way, "Okay, I'll look for it for our Xiao Ming. If there is a good girl, we should keep an eye on our own children first."
The courtyard of the steel rolling mill.
Director Wang led the two of them to stand in front of the west entrance hall in the front yard, "It's just these two rooms, right? Xiao Ming."
"Yes, Aunt Wang, it's the west hall and west wing."
"Okay, Xiao Ming, go and call out the people in the courtyard who are not working now, and ask them to testify, so as to save you trouble in the future." Director Wang arranged it rather domineeringly.
Li Ming felt warm in his heart after hearing this. It stands to reason that when he arrived at the house, he would open the door lock and that would be it. At best, he would find someone in the courtyard to witness it. But Director Wang knew that there were many moths in this courtyard, so he specially planned to help Li Ming take care of some trivial matters.
There was no need for Li Ming to call people. At this moment, when everyone was getting ready to go to work, many people were still there.
"Director Wang, you are here, what is this?" Yi Zhonghai, the First Master of the Intermediate Court, asked when he saw Director Wang coming over.
"It just so happens that you are the master of the courtyard."
"Yes, I am the grand master of our hospital." Yi Zhonghai nodded quickly.
"These two rooms were assigned to Comrade Li Ming by the steel rolling mill. They will be used and lived in by Comrade Li Ming from now on. You can be a witness."
Yi Zhonghai looked at the two rooms, his face moved slightly, as if he had something to say but swallowed it back.
