In the 1960s, a woman dressed as a man and a general came to give birth to a baby
Chapter 29 Buying a Car or a House
The next morning, Zhang Yu still couldn't escape the problem of weak legs. After eating, Ma Luoying carried the backpack and the two of them set off.
When they arrived in town, Zhang Yu insisted on sending his wife to work before going to work. Ma Luoying shook her head. She didn't know what was the point of sending his wife to work when the two units were just across the road.
As soon as the two arrived at the door of the police station, they saw Policeman Xiao Hu coming out.
With the idea of building a good relationship with his wife, Zhang Yu said: "Good morning, Police Officer Xiao Hu."
Hearing someone calling him, Public Security Officer Xiao Hu stopped and said, "Zhang Yu, Comrade Ma Luoying, you are here. Let's go in and tell you some good news."
"What good news?"
"Bai Mengqiu confessed that we also found the boss of the North District Black Market last night. When we arrived, they had an internal conflict and all of them died."
"Not one left?"
"Yes, but the number of people is the same as Bai Mengqiu said."
"Why did Bai Mengqiu confess?"
"For her son."
At this time, Chief Cui greeted them, called Police Officer Xiao Hu and left.
After sending his wife off, Zhang Yu returned to the dormitory to put his things away and then went to the counter. Director Liu also took a leave of absence today.
As soon as he arrived, Miao Xiaoqian came over and said to him: "I went home from get off work yesterday and ran around most of the town. Hey~, I actually found a few cheap bicycles for you."
Hearing Miao Xiaoqian say this, Zhang Yu reached out and took out a bunch of cucumbers from his backpack. There were more than a dozen of them. He handed them over and said, "Sister Miao, what's the price?"
Miao Xiaoqian took the cucumbers and introduced them to Zhang Yu more enthusiastically: "Two of them were transferred to other jobs and bought them urgently. They are both 70% new. One costs 80 yuan and the other 100 yuan. I think they are about the same. The other family wants to store food. They don't have money at home and they don't use their bicycles very often. They want to sell it for food. This one is % new, but it costs yuan. If they have food, they can lower the price a little bit. The main reason is that the price of food on the black market is changing every now and then. It's so expensive that it's impossible to buy it."
Although Zhang Yu had food, he just couldn't take it out. He had no choice but to consider the other two.
"Sister Miao, when do you think we can go and have a look?"
"Any time is fine. There are people at their house today."
"Let's go at noon. I'll treat you to lunch. After lunch, we'll go."
"You're so polite, haha."
Although Miao Xiaoqian was being polite, she didn't mean to refuse.
At noon, Zhang Yu asked Miao Xiaoqian to wait for a while while he went to call his wife. After all, it was not good for two single men and women to have dinner together.
The food in the canteen of the supply and marketing cooperative is really cheap and the portions are huge, but it’s not as delicious as that in the state-owned restaurants.
Thanks to his sweet talk, Zhang Yu picked out two acceptable meat dishes, one was stewed pork ribs and the other was braised pork. He also ordered two vegetarian dishes, one was spicy and sour shredded potatoes and the other was stir-fried tofu. He ordered two-grain steamed buns as the main course.
Looking at such a sumptuous meal, Miao Xiaoqian praised Zhang Yu to Ma Luoying.
After dinner, the three of them went to look at bicycles. They first went to two stores that had 50% new ones. Both stores were not far from the supply and marketing cooperative.
The first one was in the alley behind the supply and marketing cooperative. When she arrived at the door, Miao Xiaoqian knocked on it and asked, "Auntie Sun, are you home? I'm Xiaoshanzi's mother."
"I'm here, I'm here." As soon as the words fell, the door was opened.
With just a glance from Miao Xiaoqian, the person on the other side knew that this was the buyer of the bicycle.
After they entered the house, Sister Sun closed the door and pointed at the bicycle in the room and said, "This is it. Take a look. We take good care of our bicycles. Although it looks a bit old, we bought it only a little over a year ago. It's just that my son doesn't take good care of it when riding it."
Miao Xiaoqian replied: "Sister Sun, it's a boy, it's normal"
Then he moved closer to Zhang Yu and the other man and whispered, "Come and take a look. Sister Sun is right. This car just looks a little old, but it's not that old. There's nothing wrong with the frame and everything. To tell you the truth, this car is the cheapest and the one I know best."
Zhang Yu looked at the car. It was true that the car was not used carefully. Other problems were not serious. Hearing Miao Xiaoqian say that she knew everything about it, he asked Miao Xiaoqian, "Is this the car from 70?"
"Yes, they have to leave the day after tomorrow. It's not cost-effective to transport them there. Look at the mess in this house. If you want, I think you can lower the price a little bit."
After listening to Miao Xiaoqian's words, Zhang Yu thought about the spacious house, with its own entrance and yard, and four rooms of different sizes. If he brought all his family members over, it would be enough to live in. It's just that the yard is a bit small. He decided to order the bicycle first. There are still two days left, so he could talk about the house later.
Zhang Yu approached Ma Luoying again and asked her opinion on the bicycle.
Ma Luoying didn't know much about bicycles, but when she got to the bike, she shook it with her hand and felt it was quite sturdy. She nodded to Zhang Yu to indicate that she thought it was good too.
Seeing that his wife had no objection, Zhang Yu said okay to Miao Xiaoqian and asked her to help negotiate the price.
Seeing that Zhang Yu and his wife believed in her so much, Miao Xiaoqian turned around and started talking about the price with Sister Sun.
Finally, the price was set at 63 yuan. Since Zhang Yu had no money, he decided to pick up the bicycle in the afternoon.
Before leaving, Zhang Yu casually asked, "It would be a pity not to live in this house?"
Sister Sun seemed to have finally found a soulmate, and replied with a sad face: "Yes, I wanted to sell it. But the offer is too low now. It cost more than 200 yuan to build this house, but the highest offer was only 180 yuan. Now no one is willing to pay this price. Oh, I am so worried."
After hearing what Sister Sun said, Zhang Yu wanted the house even more, mainly because there were not many houses with their own doors and yards that were for sale.
Originally, Zhang Yu was planning to borrow money from friends and colleagues to buy a bicycle, but on the way, Miao Xiaoqian told him that he could get an advance on his salary. Zhang Yu thought that if he got a bigger advance on his salary and borrowed some more money, he would have both a house and a car.
When only Zhang Yu and Ma Luoying were left, Zhang Yu shared this idea with Ma Luoying. In fact, Ma Luoying also thought it was good to have a separate house, so the couple decided on it.
As soon as they got to work in the afternoon, Zhang Yu and his wife took an advance of 2 yuan, which was two and a half months' salary. There was no other way, as this was the maximum they could advance. They then each asked their colleagues to borrow money symbolically, letting everyone know that their money was borrowed.
Finally, Zhang Yu counted his own piggy bank and found that he had about 700 yuan left. Looking at his wallet which was shrinking rapidly, he decided to find an opportunity to sell some more goods.
Zhang Yu asked Miao Xiaoqian to take over his shift for a while. He went to Sister Sun's house to buy a bicycle, and then spent 180 to buy a house. He also asked Sister Sun not to tell anyone. Now Sister Sun just wanted to sell the house and leave here as soon as possible, and she would not object to anything.
The two of them went to the police station and the Housing Authority to go through the formalities. Looking at his and Ma Luoying's names on the property certificate, Zhang Yu grinned happily.
After get off work in the afternoon, sitting on the nice back seat of the bicycle, Zhang Yu thought, I am also a person with a car and a house, but my wife is better than me in riding a bicycle.
In this way, Zhang Yu arrived at the slum amidst the contemptuous looks along the way.
Comrade Liu San is really good to himself when the conditions allow. Look, even a grown man can make his own dumplings, although they are vegetarian.
There were a bunch of kids lying at the kitchen door. Seeing this, Zhang Yu shouted, "Make way, make way, let's go home, let's go home, we have to eat too."
An older child turned around and glared at Zhang Yu with disdain: "Who are you? Is this your home? Is it your business?"
Well, not only did I fail to drive these kids away, I also got criticized.
All of a sudden, Zhang Yu's temper was aroused. He asked Ma Luoying to come in and sit down, and then he knocked on every door. He decided that since he couldn't live in peace, no one else could live in peace.
The people in the compound were called out and were all very unhappy.
"Dear neighbors, my name is Zhang Yu, and I live in our compound. Whose families are these children from? Why are they lying at the door of my kitchen during dinner? Are they trying to rob our house?"
"What are you talking about? The kids are just playing in the yard."
"Just a kid."
The neighbors all thought that what Zhang Yu said was too harsh and spoke out.
"Whether you care or not, you don't care, right? Don't blame me for being too nosy. I only trust the police. If you don't care, I will call the police directly if anything happens in the future, no matter if it's a steamed bun or a piece of meat. Don't blame me for not explaining it clearly."
Seeing that Zhang Yu not only spoke harshly but also wanted to call the police, everyone took their children back. At the same time, they all felt that Zhang Yu was making a fuss out of nothing. It was just a child, and it was not worth it to make a fuss about just a few bites of food.
Little did they know that in the near future, just for a few bites of food, these children would pay a heavy price.
