Chapter 241 What a perfect match
Already engaged, Gu Xiaoxia has actually slowly begun to adapt to becoming a family with Li Long. So she cares more about what Li Long thinks.
As for her father, Gu Xiaoxia believes that if she decides to go, her father will only support her. Although her father is disheartened and has no intention of leaving the team, he supports her to leave the countryside and go to a wider world. Of heaven and earth.
"The notice given by the Education Bureau is to give me three days to hand over, and then prepare to report this Thursday." Gu Xiaoxia said, "The school also told me that because the class has been completed, I will I have exams every week, so I don’t have to follow a class, and someone will take my place.
A teacher I know well told me that there is no room available at the Education Bureau, and people like me who are on secondment are not provided with dormitories. Prepare a place to live.”
This is where Gu Xiaoxia is more worried.
"But the school leaders also said that I will stay in the dormitory." Gu Xiaoxia continued, "If there is no place to live in the county, then I will live in the school dormitory and get up early every day to go to work... Five kilometers is not very far.”
“No, no,” Li Long laughed, “Stay. I'll take care of it... By the way, are you fine by the afternoon?"
"Yes." Gu Xiaoxia said, "You are fine, you can pack your things."
"Then. Let’s go to the county now. Let’s have a meal first, and then I’ll arrange a place for you.”
"You? Arrange a place to live?" Gu Xiaoxia was a little surprised.
"If you have nothing to do this afternoon, let's go and have dinner." Li Long said with a smile, "Put this watermelon here first... Do you want to share some with your colleagues?"
"Let's not separate it for now." Gu Xiaoxia shook her head, "I have a good relationship with Teacher Wang, but she is not here now, so the relationship with the others is average."
Li Long put down the watermelon, and Gu Xiaoxia simply tidied it up and took it Holding a bag, he followed Li Long out the door.
Some people watched the two of them ride away on bicycles, but no one said anything. After Gu Xiaoxia handed out the candies yesterday, her colleagues all knew that this new colleague was engaged to a young man from the countryside.
It actually made several young male colleagues feel a little sad. Although I don't dare to chase or know that I can't chase, this is two different concepts from a famous flower having a master.
Li Long said to Gu Xiaoxia while riding:
"I bought a big yard in the county. You will work in the Education Bureau and live in the big yard. That way. Convenient for commuting to and from get off work, no need to travel so far. ”
"Buy a big yard?" This was really beyond Gu Xiaoxia's expectation. She hurriedly asked: "How did you buy it?"
Although Gu Xiaoxia knew that Li Long could make money, she did not expect that He can even buy a big yard if he makes enough money!
It is not easy to build a house in the village. Although homestead land is relatively easy to obtain, as long as you get married and separate, you can get it. But all that was obtained was the homestead.
If you want to build a house on the homestead, you need to lay the foundation, pull earth to pad the foundation, spread earth blocks to build the wall, buy and cut wood to use as purlins, rafters and beams, and tie reed handles to build the house with mud. Finally, the courtyard wall was erected. This was not something that could be done in a short while.
It is even more difficult to have a house to call your own in the city. After all, land in the city, even in northern Xinjiang, is much more valuable than in the countryside. To build a house, you can basically only go to the urban-rural fringe and buy a house--a few of today's young people can afford to buy a house.
Although it’s not like those like “poor-mouthed Zhang Damin” or those in the magical city, where three generations of a family live in a house of more than ten or twenty square meters, but if you want to buy a new house, you have to pay for it. Even with all the savings of the empty family, it may not be possible.
But Li Long bought a big yard casually?
Why does it sound so magical?
Li Long also knew that Gu Xiaoxia must be shocked, so he continued to tell his story:
"My friends in the mountains gave me some jade, as I told you. At that time, I wanted Help them buy some daily necessities, If I don’t have enough money, I will take the jade to Wucheng and sell it. As you know, the price is relatively high. It happens to be such a good thing. How could you not buy it..."
Gu Xiaoxia said nothing, she needed an acceptance process.
In fact, Gu Xiaoxia has always felt that Li Long is very capable, much more capable than ordinary young people. The reason why I like Li Long is not only gratitude, but also a little bit of admiration.
The relationship between this is a bit similar to the TV series "Half the House", where the good and good girl in the eyes of her family worships a person in society.
Because the family members are too well-behaved, many social issues cannot be settled and can only be tolerated. But in the eyes of society, there are many ways to settle the same kind of thing.
In Gu Xiaoxia's eyes, Li Long is the kind of person who, although he does not have a serious job, can solve all kinds of troubles.
It seems that any difficulty is no longer a difficulty when it comes to him.
For example, I had been worrying about the house problem all morning, but he was actually prepared for it!
Li Long took Gu Xiaoxia to the big meat restaurant, but Gu Xiaoxia strongly demanded to see the house first.
Li Long couldn't resist her, so he got on the car and took her to the big yard.
Zhong Guoqiang saw Li Long through the glass in the cafeteria, and thought he would have something to say after he came in. Unexpectedly, Li Long rode away again.
When he chased him out, Li Long had already ridden far away with his men, so he had to go back angrily.
When they arrived at the compound, the two people got out of the car. Li Long held the car with one hand and took off the key with the other hand and handed it to Gu Xiaoxia:
"You go and unlock the door."
"I..."
"Well, we are engaged, and this will be your house from now on." Li Long said with a smile.
Gu Xiaoxia was not mentally prepared for this. She took the key and looked at it before going over and opening the door.
Take off the key and push open the heavy wooden door, and you will be greeted by the weight of history.
Although this kind of house actually represents feudalism and obsolescence in the hearts of many people at this time, Gu Xiaoxia can still feel the solemn atmosphere of this house when it was first built, as well as the solemnity of the high gate compound—— Of course, it feels high-end now.
Li Long pushed the car and followed Gu Xiaoxia, smiling as she looked at the yard.
"Some flowers should be planted here..." Gu Xiaoxia pointed to the two small fields where Li Long planted vegetables at will.
"Okay, you can plant it when you have time."
"This place... is pretty clean." Gu Xiaoxia looked at the yard, pointed to the back and said, "Then back... …”
"There are also courtyards and houses. It used to be a stable, but it was later converted into a glass greenhouse, but it is not used yet."
"This yard is so big!" Gu Xiaoxia sighed as she looked at the rows of houses.
Li Long knew that the yard was not particularly large, less than twice the size of his own yard. The main reason is that there are many houses and buildings, which use most of the open space.
"This is the master bedroom." After Li Long propped up the car, he introduced it to Gu Xiaoxia, "One row, let's see where you sleep."
"Do you usually live here? ?" "I live there occasionally." Li Long pointed to the master bedroom and said, "I usually stay there."
"Then let me... change rooms." Gu Xiaoxia was a little shy, "We... just got engaged..."
"Okay." Li Long said cheerfully, "That's in your dormitory. Just leave the bedding on the side. Let's have dinner here and clean up a room together. Then we'll buy bedding and some daily necessities. I'll buy you a bicycle so you can go home on the weekend. Also convenient. "
"No, no, no..." Gu Xiaoxia shook her head hurriedly upon hearing this, "That's not possible. I'm saving money. I'll buy it myself when I save enough in a few months..."
"We're already engaged, why do you know so clearly?" Li Long showed off his chauvinism this time, "Your family didn't ask for a bride price, what does that mean? It means your father gave you to me, don't worry! Then I won't let you." Do you take better care of it?
You listen to me, we are engaged and we are a family. Isn’t it natural for me to buy you things? Besides, it can’t be done today. You have to find someone to get the bicycle ticket. "
Gu Xiaoxia didn't expect Li Long to be so "stubborn" in this regard. She didn't know what to say.
It seemed that everything was so natural.
Then it was confirmed, Gu Xiaoxia lived in the other bedroom of the main house.
Leave it alone, Li Long took Gu Xiaoxia to eat in the big meat restaurant. He asked Gu Xiaoxia to sit down and asked if she could eat noodles, and then went to the window to order. Rice.
When he was about to pay the money, Zhong Guoqiang came over and said to the window:
"I paid for this person's meal. Don't accept his money and tickets."
Li Long said this Hearing this, he was very happy:
"Manager Zhong, this is not easy. If you want anything, just tell me!"
The two returned to their seats, and Li Long introduced Zhong Guoqiang to Gu Xiaoxia . The last time the two of them came over for dinner, Zhong Guoqiang was not there.
"Is this your partner? She is really a talented man and a beautiful woman." Zhong Guoqiang praised him sincerely, "A match made in heaven."
"Don't praise me yet. Tell me what the specific matter is. I'll see if I can Please help." Li Long waved his hands hurriedly, he could see that Gu Xiaoxia was a little shy and uncomfortable.
"Okay, let me tell you the truth. Recently, my regular customers have said that the dishes here are not enough. Now in this season, home-cooked food is available, but the high-quality products are still lacking. I I was thinking that you wouldn’t be here, could you help me get some specialties from the mountains? I definitely want game, and some wild vegetables, wild mushrooms and the like...”
“I can have this. "It will only take two days. My partner will be seconded to the county. I have to help her arrange things in the past two days." Li Long said with a smile: "Actually, you don't want to tell me. I’m going to the mountains in two days. It’s hard to say whether I can catch game, but I’ll definitely pick up sacks of wild mushrooms. I got back half a sack of black tiger paws a few days ago!”
"Really or not?" Zhong Guoqiang was stunned after hearing this, "Did you really get it? Where are the things now?"
"I put it at home. I just planned to dry it and put it at home in winter. You can cook a variety of dishes, otherwise just eating pickles, radish, cabbage, etc. will definitely not work.”
“Okay, then. If you do it again, bring me some. But I don’t want more, just a few dozen kilograms. If you have any other game, bring it to me. I’ll take it.”
“Okay. "
At this time, the waiter had brought the food. Zhong Guoqiang nodded to the two of them and turned to leave.
"Come on, come on, you're hungry, eat." Li Long said, "If it's not enough, add some noodles."
"I definitely have enough." Gu Xiaoxia shook her head, "I used to be able to add some noodles, but now I stopped doing physical work and my appetite was much smaller.”
After dinner, Li Long took Gu Xiaoxia to the department store and bought a brand new bedding. Originally, Gu Xiaoxia was unwilling. She meant that those old ones could still be used after washing.
“I don’t know how many people have used that old bedding. Daqiang stayed in that house last night. It’s okay to use it for washing, but forget it. It’s my first time living in this house. , I will be the hostess in the future, how can I let you use the old one? "
Li Long's reason was very strong, and Gu Xiaoxia sounded very sweet, so she didn't stop him.
After entering the department store, Li Long took Gu Xiaoxia to buy not only bedding, but also some daily necessities, and a pair of leather shoes for Gu Xiaoxia.
Gu Xiaoxia had the intention not to, but Li Long’s reason was still strong:
“You are going to work at the Education Bureau later, so it is not appropriate to wear a pair of cloth shoes.”
Not only I bought leather shoes, socks, and a complete set of clothes.
Gu Xiaoxia simply stopped talking later. She watched Li Long bring things over one by one and let her try them out. After trying them on, she paid the money and tickets directly after she tried them out.
It was as if he really had money he couldn't spend.
Gu Xiaoxia just remembered the money Li Long spent on her - one hundred and twenty-seven yuan, which was equivalent to her salary for more than three months and four months.
I must work hard to save money in the future, and can’t just let Li Long spend it!
This is what Gu Xiaoxia is thinking now.
As she left with her big and small bags, Gu Xiaoxia always felt that someone was looking at her. She searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it. It wasn't until she turned around when she went out that she saw Xiao Liu at the counter.
Xiao Liu's eyes were a little complicated.
A woman's intuition made Gu Xiaoxia think that this Xiao Liu might have some story.
When Li Long put all the things he bought on the bicycle and was about to put the cart on, Gu Xiaoxia asked:
"When I came out, I saw a saleswoman who had been there all the time. Look at me..."
"In which direction?"
"That's where they sell batteries and electrical appliances."
"I know." Li Long got into the car and started to pedal, saying:
"I bought radios for Harimu and the others earlier. When recharging the battery, the lady next to the counter also When they asked me which unit I was from, they didn’t believe me when I said I was a farmer. I guess they wanted to introduce me to the salesperson.”
Gu Xiaoxia asked:
"Then why didn't it work?"
"I said I had a partner, and I also said I was a farmer, but they didn't believe me. Think about it, they have high standards. They must be looking for someone with a job in the city... You can't change your mind in the future!"< br>
"How can I!" Gu Xiaoxia came to the back seat and hit Li Long, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Hehehehe!"
Counter Inside, Xiao Liu had completely given up. Originally, she had been fantasizing that the person Li Long found in the end would definitely be inferior to her. I saw it today. The girl's appearance is not inferior to mine, and her temperament doesn't look like that of a rural youth. The two of them were talking and laughing, and they were a perfect match.
Then bless them.
But why are you still a little unwilling?
