Chapter 226 Self-interest
After receiving the instructions from Chu Heng and his wife, Sun Mei gave a reassuring look and took the woman aside to discuss the price. After the two of them whispered for a while, Then I heard Sun Mei's signature barbell-like exclamation.
"What? Two hundred? I said Xiao Zhang, just hang a knife at your door!"
"Good guy, the meat factory is not as ruthless as you, isn't it? Are you robbing people?”
“Look at these doors and windows, the paint is peeling off. I’ll have to repaint them later.”
"There is also this wall, which is about to collapse."
"One hundred, at most one hundred yuan, not even one cent more, and you don't look at the year. At this time, there are How many are willing to change rooms?”
“Okay, okay, for your sister’s sake, I’ll give it to you.” Please add more.”
……
After Aunt Sun’s punishment, the woman finally gave up and agreed to use her own small courtyard and Chu Heng’s two rooms in the large courtyard. The conditions for the house swap were that a replacement of 120 yuan was required, and it would take a month before the house could be vacated.
This price was far lower than expected, which really made Miss Ni overjoyed. As for the subsequent moving conditions, she simply ignored them.
The pace of this era is slow, and several years seem like one day, without any change. It is only a month, and it will pass if you sleep with a man a few more times.
It would be a long night and many dreams, so Chu Heng and the others paid the money on the spot, and then took the woman to the street office. Under the witness of the staff, they signed a house exchange agreement.
When they each came out of the street office holding a piece of tissue paper, in a real sense, that courtyard already belonged to the Chu family.
The woman's expression was very complicated, including loneliness and sadness, but mostly numbness.
These days, her family has changed too much, and she has long been accustomed to accepting the changes.
"That's it, I'll see you later, Sister Zhang." Chu Heng waved politely to the woman and left with Sun Mei and Ni Yinghong.
On the way, Aunt Sun and Xiao Ni happily discussed how to decorate their new home, and then they talked about what vegetables should be planted in the garden, chattering non-stop.
After they returned to the unit, the other aunts knew that the house had been approved, and they actively participated in the discussion and began to express their opinions. Aunt Han even suggested that they do not need a vegetable garden and add two rooms directly to it, so that in the future, their son When I marry my grandson, I won’t have no house to live in.
This is really far-sighted!
Chu Heng looked at Ni Yinghong who was quite interested in the proposal with amusement. He had no intention of getting involved. Pi Dian Dian went over to his wife who was in a good mood and asked for a dollar. Then he led Guo Xia and Lian Qing in one step. Went out to sell popsicles.
Changing a house is such a big deal, is it okay to buy some popsicles to celebrate?
At the same time, Xu Damao was rushing home from work.
He thought about many things these days, and finally decided to draw a clear line with the Lou family!
In all these years of marriage, he was able to serve Miss Lou diligently even though Lou Xiaoe had never given birth to a son and a half daughters for him. He felt that he had done his best and deserved it. Now that the Lou family is here, there is no need to risk your own future and destiny.
Most people are self-interested, right?
Xu Damao rode his bike at a fast pace and hurried back home in a short time.
At this time, the Xu family was empty. Lou Xiaoe was picked up by her driver early in the morning. She refused to say exactly what she was doing, but she could guess that it was probably the person who messed with her. I went to take care of my family.
This is also the reason why Xu Damao came back under the scorching sun at noon. Just because Lou Xiao'e was away, it was convenient for him to do some things.
He was obviously going back to his home, but Xu Damao seemed to be a thief.
I saw him sneaking into the house, and scanning the surroundings vigilantly. Then he took out a cloth bag that had been prepared for a long time from his arms, walked into the bedroom, and took it from under the bed. Take out the big handbag that Lou Xiao'e brought back.
He slowly opened the zipper of the bag, and gently grabbed a handful of silver coins from it with obsession and heartache. After looking at it for a few times, he turned his wrist, and the silver coins fell back into the bag with a clatter. The sound is crisp and pleasant.
After Xu Damao looked at the contents of the handbag in silence for a moment, he did not dare to hesitate any more. He quickly opened the bag in his hand, picked out the things from the handbag and put them into the bag.
After a while, the handbag was half empty, and he stopped.
"What a pity."
With a look of regret on his face, Xu Damao zipped up his handbag again, put it back to its original position, and then left the house carrying a bag containing a lot of money and gold and silver jewelry.
When he passed by the middle courtyard, he happened to bump into Liu Guangtian who had come back to sleep after skipping work.
Since I started to gain momentum, this guy is now very popular. He won’t go if the work unit says he won’t go. He is invited to drink and have dinner every now and then. He is drunk almost every day.
Seeing that Xu Damao had things on his car and it was making a clattering noise, Liu Guangtian couldn't help but be curious, so he asked: "Hey, Section Chief Xu, what are you holding? Why are you still jumping around? ! ”
"Nothing." Xu Damao smiled at him unnaturally and hurried away with the cart.
Liu Guangtian had lived in the same hospital with him for so many years. Not only did he know everything about him, but he still knew a little bit about him. When he saw him like this, he guessed that this guy was up to no good.
He squinted at the bulging bags on the back seat of Xu Damao's car, and muttered firmly: "You idiot must have stolen someone's chicken!"
What a smart guy... ...
After Xu Damao left the courtyard, he got on his car and rushed to his parents' house quickly, where he was ready to put the thing in his hand.
The old couple now lives alone at his parents' place, and no one usually comes there. Moreover, the old couple are still at work. As long as he acts quickly enough and gets everything done before his parents come back, he can hide the treasure by then. , apart from him, only heaven knows and earth knows!
It's not that he's on guard against his parents, it's just that he's worried that too many people will talk and cause more trouble.
More than ten minutes later, Xu Damao arrived at his parents' house.
The old couple also lived in a house with two entrances in a large courtyard. His family lived in the west wing of the backyard.
He greeted a few familiar neighbors along the way, and soon arrived at the door. After taking out the key and unlocking the door, he quickly entered the house.
After entering the house, he poked around again and found an empty jar to put the things he had brought. Then he got under the bed with a small shovel and started digging bricks and digging holes.
After working for a while, he buried the jar with the stuff under the bed. Finally, he carefully found a broom to clean up the traces, and left a note saying that he would take the jar home to pickle pickles. Then he sneaked away carrying a large bag of dug-out soil.
After leaving the yard of his parents' house, Xu Damao returned to the steel rolling mill and asked Liu Haizhong to discuss his divorce from Lou Xiao'e.
