Chapter 143: Hardcore Gratitude (More Than One Monthly Pass)
After completing the procedures at the street office, the house is now rented to Fangyan.
After finishing it, Fang Yan went to a nearby place and bought a lock and a few new light bulbs.
The door was replaced with a new lock, and all the light bulbs in the house that were not very bright were replaced with high-wattage ones.
I turned on the light bulb and tried it, and found that the line voltage here was OK and it withstood the test.
There was no buzzing sound or flickering light and dark.
Next, he looked around inside again. Some simple furniture was available here. He only needed to add some pots and pans for the kitchen, as well as cotton wool for the living room, as well as daily cups, basins, and towels. class stuff.
Then he went back to the inverted room alone and inspected it carefully.
Turn on the skills of inspection and observation, and don’t miss any details.
Then he confirmed that nothing suspicious was found.
And it is indeed cleaned frequently and everything is clean.
In other words, the only flaw now is the painted slogan on the screen wall at the door.
In other aspects, Dialect is quite satisfactory.
After closing the doors and windows, Fang Yan walked to the street office diagonally across the street and found the woman just now, who was the director of the street office.
Ask her to help find someone to remove the paint on the screen wall.
When the time comes, the wages will be paid by yourself.
The director of the sub-district office hurriedly said that it can be done now.
She called some young staff from the sub-district office and asked them to go to the backyard warehouse to get a bucket of cement, a mop and a ladder.
These young staff members had obviously recently returned from overseas.
They were able to get jobs in the sub-district office through some connections.
I brought my tools and followed the director and Fang Yan to the courtyard. Then I started to clean the screen wall again and put cement on it to cover the previously smashed parts and paint.
Fang Yan originally wanted to help, but a few people refused to let him go, saying that this was their job.
It can be seen that these young people in front of them cherish their work in the street office.
Fang Yan stood aside and watched them work.
Then casually chatted with them.
Gradually, we also learned about their situation. Several of them were young people who went to the countryside not far from the city. It was said that their conditions were pretty good, but seeing that many people were returning to the city, they were afraid that they would be left behind. I was living in the countryside outside, so I tried my best to come back.
After I came back, it was hard to find a good job, so I finally found a job in this street in a street office.
They were all children from the courtyard on the side of this street near Xiehe.
During the conversation, they were also inquiring about Fang Yan's identity. Fang Yan did not elaborate on his identity. He only revealed that he was a Chinese medicine doctor and had foreign-related tasks.
Because it involved foreign-related tasks, these young people decisively stopped asking questions and started working on their work.
After a while, they finished their work, and then they packed up and called it a day.
Fang Yan asked the street director how much the salary was.
The director of the sub-district office said that this is what they should do and let the dialect be ignored.
Secretary Xia and the others also gave money.
The dialect sounded correct, but there was no pretentiousness about it.
He locked the door and said goodbye to the director of the subdistrict office. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to get off work. He headed directly towards Xiehe.
……
On the way home, Fang Yan told his wife, Zhu Lin and her mother about renting a courtyard house near Xiehe.
The three of them were still a little confused, wondering why they suddenly rented a courtyard house in dialect.
What's even more surprising is that he actually rented it in such a good location.
After Fang Yan explained the ins and outs of renting a house for himself, as well as the process of renting a house, everyone finally understood.
Of course, no one had any objections to Fang Yan's approach. Madam Zhu Lin even praised him. Fang Yan was able to do things that others couldn't easily do in just one afternoon. This is proof of his ability and connections. !
And more importantly, he was not doing it for himself, but was planning to marry Zhu Lin in the future. All this showed that Fang Yan had Zhu Lin in his heart.
And the house is rented in a place so close to Xiehe.
That's so sweet. The future mother-in-law now reads dialect, and it becomes more and more pleasing to her eyes.
I had to mention what I said that morning to Madam Fang Yan again, for fear that she would forget it when she went back.
Then, Fang Yan divided the keys to the courtyard into two.
One was given to Zhu Lin, and the other was given to my mother.
When the time comes, we have to listen to their opinions when it comes to purchasing things inside.
Fang Yan didn't want to deal with these little things, so he simply left them to Zhu Lin and my mother.
Of course, the two of them had no objection. Even after they got the keys, they had already started to make a list of the items they needed to purchase in the car.
After returning home, my mother He Huiru held a family discussion with her father and Fang Yan.
First, I talked about renting a courtyard house in Fangyan, and also talked about what Madam Zhu Lin said early this morning about asking for a marriage certificate.
After some discussion, the family decided to follow the rules of these days and give the betrothal gift first, and then set the wedding date.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Fang Yan didn't understand this at all. He had read chronicle stories before and only knew that the protagonist seemed to get married on a random date. He had never heard of the rules about giving betrothal gifts.
I just learned about this rule today.
The process is that after the betrothal gift is given, the parents of both parties then negotiate a good date to get married, and finally the wedding is held.
The wedding is not unscrupulous. Nowadays, people are no longer as poor as they were in the 1960s. My mother said that you need to prepare "three tanks" for your wedding.
That is, a jar of old wine, a jar of rice dumplings according to the number of the woman's relatives, and a jar of pork, which is about half a pig, are sent to the woman's house first for the wedding banquet the next day.
The dowry given by the woman is based on the betrothal gift given by the man. The more the betrothal gift given, the more the woman will give back. The Zhu family is a wealthy family in the south, and they must earn face for their daughter, so they will definitely do everything possible to make her dowry. The scene is better.
I don’t know some of the details in the dialect, and I won’t understand them until they are implemented in detail later.
Anyway, my father and mother know the customs, so I let them control the dialect.
……
The next day soon came.
On the bus to work, my mother and the Zhu Lin family agreed to have a dinner together in the evening and discuss the betrothal gift and wedding date.
Mrs. Zhu Lin readily agreed and said she would arrive in the evening.
When Fang Yan arrived at the Tongrentang store, he found that someone was already waiting for him in the store.
This man came early and looked like he was tired from all the work.
This man is very strong. He speaks in dialect. He is 1.93 meters tall with a burly build and a wingspan of at least 2.13 meters. He looks like a practitioner.
After asking, Fang Yan found out that the other party took train 297 from Jinan last night and arrived in the capital in eight hours.
After arriving at the station and getting off the bus, I found someone at the station to ask about the dialect.
As a result, I happened to find Zhu Jianye, the station leader, who happened to know the dialect.
Someone pointed him here.
He talked about his father's situation and said that he must be grateful to Fang Yan.
Then he took out several gold bars and smashed them with the logo of the Republic of China Gold Bank.
He was over 1.9 meters tall and had a sinister look on his face, which made the scene in front of him look like in "Water Margin", when Liu Tang went to deliver gold to Song Jiang.
Fang Yan has never seen anyone so grateful. This gratitude is too hardcore.
According to the gold price of the era, these gold bars were not cheap.
The value was too high. Fang Yan didn't dare to ask for the gold bar, so he asked the other party to take it back.
In the end, this man refused to do anything, saying that he had promised his mother, and he must keep it.
For a while, the two were in a stalemate.
One of them refused to be accepted, and the other one insisted on being given away.
PS: The update has been completed today, and I still owe you 96,000.
