Chapter 272 The Beautiful Era (Fourth update, please subscribe)
What is fairness?
Fairness means we make rules together and then abide by them together.
This is fair.
In early February, the draft of the distribution plan for public rental housing in Borneo was published in newspapers. For a while, everyone was in an uproar.
Not only because of the unexpected lack of restrictions on official rank or rank, but because of the directness of the draft - those with children are given priority!
“This is asking everyone to have more children!”
“No, you can live in a new house only after you have children.”
“It’s not just that, it’s Whoever has more children will move in first. Didn't you notice that those with five or more children can also get a rent reduction? "
"This is a good thing. Not only can you get a house in advance when you have a baby, but you can also get it. It’s great to be able to pay the rent.”
When everyone in the tavern talked to each other one by one, some said disdainfully.
As soon as the man in white shirt finished speaking, someone looked at him and said.
“Are you the child of your parents?”
“How can you scold others?”
“Swear? You are a human being! How can you be a human being? Don’t let babies be born!”
"No, I'm wearing glasses. I look like a scholar. I'm talking in human language!"
"I can read it into the dog's belly..."
Being treated like this by everyone Choking, the man immediately said angrily.
"Vulgar, you are all so short-sighted, really, really... extremely vulgar! It is simply unreasonable..."
Amidst the laughter of the people, the man wearing glasses The man had no choice but to leave the tavern. Although he left, the voice behind him did not stop.
"What the hell!"
"No, it's a good thing this man is not an official, otherwise the common people would have suffered, and his hands would have reached into their crotches."
" That's nothing. "
"Don't tell me, he is really nothing. That guy's surname is Feng. He seems to be a scholar. He talks about not letting the common people have children, but he has given birth to five children. Six!”
“What?”
For a moment, everyone was in an uproar, what the hell is this! Don't let the common people have trouble with you but have so many troubles. This kind of person is really nothing.
Interludes are always just interludes, even if there are things that are not East and West, they are separately criticizing the distribution of public housing based on the presence or absence of children. It is really contrary to fairness, and too many children are not good for the future of Borneo. , and cannot hinder the overall situation.
There are envious eyes all around.
After the distribution plan was released, Zhao Liu could feel the envious eyes from around him, and everyone looked at him with envy.
"Congratulations, Liuzi."
"Yes, Sixth Brother, you have to treat me!"
As soon as we sat down here, there was a burst of congratulations all around.
"Please, please, as long as the lottery number comes up, I will definitely invite you!"
Zhao Liu had a smile all over his face.
Going to have a family!
It should be said that he is about to have a home. As long as he can be picked in the lottery, he will definitely be able to move to a new home.
He is included in the published list. "Look at what amusement you are, Brother Six. That's a big house with two floors."
"Two and a half floors!"
Someone next to him interrupted.
"When I was delivering the materials, I went in and took a look. There was an attic above that could accommodate people. I heard from people on the construction site that even a family of more than a dozen people could live in it..."
"That's okay. No, if you have one baby and one house, Brother Six, you will have to have more babies when the time comes."
"Dachun, you have to work harder."
"That's right, Dachun, can you do it? If you can't do it..."
"Fuck you, you can't do it..."
There was a burst of laughter and curses for a while. After everyone stopped laughing, Zhao Liu said with a smile.
"Okay, brothers, stop joking. This is a good thing that you can't even find in a lantern. It's such a coincidence that it fell on me. I can only say that this government treats us really well. , the brothers should also work harder. Those who have not found a wife should quickly find a wife. Those who have found a wife should work harder at night and strive to share the big house as soon as possible. Our old Zhao family has been in the family for several generations, and we have never seen the common people treated like this. Okay..."
Zhao Liu said something full of gratitude, and everyone else nodded in agreement. Indeed, I have never heard of that generation giving houses to the people, even though they had to pay rent. But that little money... is it money?
From the announcement of the list to the district lottery, in the end, among the tens of thousands of people who participated in the lottery, although there were only more than a thousand lucky ones, everyone still saw hope and the hope of moving into a new home. , after all, houses are being built all over Borneo, with hundreds of houses being built and delivered every day.
Among these people, Zhao Liu is lucky. He was one of the first batch of people to be shaken,
On the last day of February, as an encouragement and of course a reward, Zhao Liu and his pregnant wife moved into their new home. The wooden house was not big, with two and a half floors upstairs and downstairs, which was about 180 square meters, but It has a living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom, as well as six bedrooms.
"Axiu, look..."
The moment she opened the door, the wife excitedly looked around.
"Brother Six, look at this sofa."
Axiu touched the wooden frame sofa. Although the sofa looked very simple, it was better to say it was a sofa than a sofa. bench, but she still looked excited.
"Yes, that's right."
"This is the coffee table."
"Yes."
"Look, this is the kitchen. Look, this is a gas stove. A twist can start a fire..."
Even though they had been trained before moving in, Zhao Liu still turned on the gas in a showy way,
With a "click" sound, the blue flames burned, and Axiu said repeatedly.
"Hurry up and close it, close it, don't waste gas, you have to pay for gas..."
The woman's heartache made Zhao Liu burst out laughing. This woman is just heartbroken about money. , In fact, gas is not expensive. The gas in Sandakan is coke oven gas produced during coking in coking plants. After purification, it is transported to the city through pipelines for the use of residents in the city.
However, this is only temporary. In the future, with the exploitation of natural gas in Sarawak, Borneo will still be dominated by natural gas. However, for now, coke oven gas and the gas released from the fertilizer plant under construction are still the main gas in the city. .
"This is really amazing. Just twist it and there will be fire. There is no need to burn firewood and there is no smoke..."
While Axiu was feeling the magic of the gas stove, Zhao Liu opened the window and pointed to the neatly lawned backyard through the screen window.
"Axiu, look, after the eldest son is born, he will play in this yard. Then, if you have a few more children, this family... will be complete. Now we have a family. It’s just a few children away..."
While carrying the child, Zhao Liu’s eyes were full of longing for home, but more importantly, there was some kind of inner strength. He looked up He glanced at the roof and said.
"When we have children in the future, we will earn more money. Later, I will go door to door here and ask if anyone is willing to install that water heater. In the past, we installed it in the dormitory and just paid for the materials. , now I have to earn some hard-earned money."
As Zhao Liu said this, his eyes were filled with expectations for the future. Those who have a stable income have perseverance, and a man with a family takes the initiative to take on responsibilities. It is difficult for outsiders to understand.
What a house brings is not just a change in lifestyle, but also a responsibility. It is this responsibility that drives people to work harder to let their families live a better life... …
