Chapter 129 Selling the House
Chapter 129 Selling the House
Father Lu received a notice to go to the black market. The notice was written on a personnel transfer notification column.
Everyone was talking about it, why couldn't this person think about going to Crane City under the black market? This place is remote and desolate, and it's freezing in winter.
Father Lu despises this group of people in his heart. He will turn around when he comes back and blind the eyes of these people. The only thing he is dissatisfied about now is why Minister Fang asked him to take his family.
"Minister Fang, I'm just going to stay here for half a month, why should I drag my family with me?"
Fang Huai sat on the chair and kept writing the pen in his hand: "You go alone, and then let others see that you are not going to stay there for a long time. You are parachuted in halfway, and you will leave after working for half a month. You are treated like someone else." Don’t have any suggestions?”
That's true. Father Lu thought about this problem and said so, but it would be the same if his son stayed in the capital.
"Wouldn't it be weird if I took my wife there?"
"I remember your wife is from this place. If you take your wife back, they will think you are going home to visit relatives at public expense, and they will accuse you of abusing power for personal gain."
Father Lu was silent: "Then I will take my son there."
After there was no objection, Minister Fang asked him to leave: "Since everything is alright, you can go home and pack your luggage with your son. The tickets have been bought for you, and the black market pick-up and your accommodation have been arranged. Go early and come back early.”
After Lu's father came home, he told Lu Bin about this matter. Lu Bin was not willing to go, but Lu's father had already spoken, so he had to pack his luggage. Wei Ni helped Lu's father pack his luggage. She carefully asked Lu's father : "Lao Lu, where are you taking A Bin?"
"Black Market Crane City."
Wei Ni said happily: "Go back to my hometown, I will go with you!"
"No." Father Lu refused quickly.
Wei Ni was disappointed: "Why can't it be done? I have never gone back since I married you. Why am I not allowed to go when I have time to go this time?"
Father Lu had no intention of dealing with Wei Ni now, and he spoke directly: "I'm going to work, not to play. Besides, if you are there for me, you will have to pay an extra penny. Where can I get so much money?"
The distance between the black market and the Beijing market is long, and the fare is also expensive. Father Lu doesn't want to pay for it himself.
Wei Ni bit her lower lip: "Really? Then how can A Bin go?"
"Abin bought the ticket from his work unit. Of course he can go. Stop talking nonsense. I will accompany you when I have money later." Father Lu just doesn't want to spend more money on Wei Ni. He won't wait until a month later. When the time comes, Wei Ni will no longer be his wife. Why would he give this money now?
Wei Ni stopped talking and silently collected the clothes for Father Lu. Father Lu thought Wei Ni was unhappy and ignored her, so he happily took his son on a business trip the next day.
"Dad, why is it so cold here?" Lu Bin had thought that it would be cold here, but he brought a coat and a thin cotton coat, but he was still shivering from the wind in Hecheng after getting off the car.
Father Lu was as cold as ever. He wrapped his coat tightly and said, "How would I know? Just go out and meet the person who picked me up now, and go to the place where I live."
The train they took took two days on the road. The two hugged themselves tightly in the cold wind, and after leaving the station, they looked for someone to put up a sign.
A big man shouted outside the station: "Director Lu of Beijing City, my son Lu Bin, the pick-up for you is here."
The sound was so penetrating that Father Lu heard it immediately.
"Abin, there."
Lu Bin also heard it, and the two of them quickened their pace and ran towards the big man.
Lu Bin looked at the bullock cart with disgust, shaking like chaff in the cart: "Dad, let's get down and walk."
Sitting in this bullock cart was even colder than walking on it, and the cold wind blew.As soon as the wind blew, Father Lu and Lu Bin both trembled.
His face was already turning blue, not from anger, but from coldness. He now regretted coming to the black market.
The father asked the man driving the car to stop, and they planned to walk on their own.
When the man heard this, he said, "Are you sure? This is far away from where you live."
The two agreed and said they would not take the bullock cart. The man could only drive the bullock cart and slowly lead the way. After walking for almost an hour, the two of them turned purple from the cold. In the end, they couldn't walk anymore and got on the bullock cart.
"Dad, whatever clothes Aunt Wei is wearing right now, they are all so thin!"
Lu Bin thought about which piece of clothing to put on his body, and found that he was actually wearing the thickest clothes: "Isn't she from here? Why doesn't she even know what the current temperature is in the black market? It's not intentional. Bring us thick clothes."
Father Lu: "She has lived in Beijing for more than ten years. She must have forgotten the climate here." Father Lu was also angry, but Wei Ni had always been obedient at home, so she probably didn't do it on purpose.
Lu Bin could only stay sulky and dare not curse, as there were others in front of him.
By the time the two of them arrived at the place where they lived, they were both so cold that they almost lost consciousness. Fortunately, there was a quilt and a kang in the house. The two of them also made a fire, and when they got home, they went to bed and covered themselves up.
On the other side, Wei Ni began to plan a house. Since Father Lu could not come back, the house allocated to her was of no use. She could definitely sell it.
Cheng Xu gave her this advice, so that she could still have some money in her hands, which was just a little reward for working as a cow and horse in the Lu family for so many years.
Wei Ni agreed very much.
But this matter couldn't be done openly. She couldn't find anyone to take over the house, so she had to go to Cheng Xu.
"You help me sell the house, and I'll give you one-fifth of the money."
"I don't want it, you can keep the money."
She didn't want to take over the money: "If you are embarrassed, you will have money after selling the house, and you can pay for the bus tickets yourself."
Wei Ni agreed and expressed her strong gratitude. She was really grateful to Cheng Xu for helping her with the idea.
Cheng Xu herself asked her classmates in school, and asked Han Mu to help this year. She just asked casually in school, and did not expect her classmates to buy a house here.
Houses in Beijing are now cheaper, and there are not many people buying houses now, but Cheng Xu also met someone who wanted to buy a house among his classmates.
"Classmate, I heard that you want to sell your house."
The person who stopped her was a boy, who looked tall and thick.
"Yes, one of my aunts plans to sell the house because she wants to go back to her hometown and will no longer stay in Beijing."
Boy: "My family happened to be looking at houses, but we haven't found anything we're satisfied with. Can you have time on the weekend for us to go look at them?"
Cheng Xu smiled: "Of course."
