After Su Tong got off the train, he was frozen to death. Fortunately, he was prepared. He stumbled to the guesthouse, drank several sips of hot water, and soaked his feet in hot water. Only then did he feel a little better.

After resting for two days, Su Tong went back to the company. He first transferred his food and household registration, and then went to the staff dormitory. There were already two colleagues there, and everyone was confused when they saw that he was a newcomer.

Su Tong smiled and just said that he came to the north to visit his relatives. He also shared the milk candies he bought with them, thus making friends with them.

People in the north are indeed very welcoming. In less than half a day, Su Tong became familiar with them, and they even took him out to eat local snacks.

Su Tong asked them about the house, but since Su Tong had just arrived, he could forget about dividing the house. However, I can buy someone else's house, but the price is very high.

"A slightly better house costs several hundred dollars. Besides, you are still young. You can just marry someone who owns a house. There is no need to buy a house now. Besides, not every girl can afford to buy a house." My colleague looked disapproving.

However, Su Tong still decided to buy a house, and for this purpose he took out a radio he had made a long time ago, which is a rare thing here.

In the capital, a radio would only sell for a hundred yuan at most, but here it can be sold for at least one hundred and sixty or seventy yuan, and it is a product that is in short supply.

I thought it would take several months to find a house, but as soon as I took out the radio, someone came to ask about it. Later, Su Tong added 150 yuan plus a radio and bought a small courtyard house not far from their workplace. It had a separate entrance, seven or eight rooms, an independent well, a very large cellar, and a small garden at the back.

The houses here are not valuable, but this house is made of blue bricks and tiles and the location is also good, so overall I don’t lose out too much.

After getting a house, Su Tong started looking for things, first some furniture, which could be bought second-hand or directly from a recycling station.

After purchasing all the miscellaneous items, Su Tong still had a few hundred dollars left in his hands, but these few hundred dollars had important uses.

Su Tong bought a few cartons of good cigarettes and a few bottles of good wine. This was all thanks to the fact that he was now the financial officer of the supply and marketing cooperative. You know, some things cannot be bought with money and tickets alone. It also depends on your own abilities and means.

Su Tong first found a middleman, and then used the middleman to contact the farmer. In addition to cigarettes and alcohol, he also promised that if his parents could be released, he would be willing to give another 100 yuan.

"Oh, little comrade, money is not that important. It's just that I'm bored staying here alone. What if I had a radio..."

Su Tong agreed without hesitation. It didn't take much effort to assemble a radio. At most, the materials were hard to find. However, he had everything in his space except materials, so he could easily assemble several radios.

Su Tong hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed with gritted teeth. However, he told the other party to wait at least a month because some materials were hard to find and this also reflected the preciousness of the radio. Otherwise, if he agreed to it all at once, others would think he was very rich and the other party might rip him off again.

The farmer was also very generous and directly asked him to take the couple back first. Anyway, the two old people were too old to work now, and they usually stayed here to help look after the cows and so on. Even if they left, no one would probably care, and they might even be glad to have saved two people who were eating for free.

Su Tong looked at the two gray-haired old men not far away and his eyes suddenly became red. If there had been no one else around, he would have pounced on them.

When Mr. Su heard that someone was looking for them, they were a little confused at first. But when they saw the real person, they were stunned for a moment and then quickly shook their heads.

"No, no, we have nothing to do with this girl." Father Su didn't want to cause trouble for his daughter, so he immediately denied any relationship with her.

Su Tong's voice became choked up. He resisted the urge to cry, stuffed a red envelope to the person next to him, and put two boxes of good cigarettes into the other person's hand.

"These two are my relatives. They had some conflicts with my elders in the past, and they probably still hold a grudge against me. But it's okay. Anyway, we are here to resolve the grudges. There is nothing else to do here, so you can leave first."

After Su Tong sent the guards away, he directly held the hands of Su's father and mother.

"Dad, Mom, I have transferred my work relationship. We will live a good life in the future. Don't worry, I have taken care of everything. No one will cause us trouble." Although the courtyard house that Su Tong bought was quite good, the location was a bit remote, and one had to turn several corners to get to their house. Ordinary people would never notice their door.

Mother Su looked at her daughter, her eyes also reddened. "When we received your things before the New Year, your father and I were already wondering if you had encountered any problems. I didn't expect you to come when you said so. Where's your husband? Didn't he promise to take good care of you?"

Su Tong smiled calmly, "I couldn't get along with him, so we just agreed to a divorce. There were a lot of rumors over there, so I sold my job and moved here.

Mom, don't worry. It's not as strict as before. Even if they really punish our whole family, I will accept it. Anyway, as long as our family is together, it's fine."

Mother Su still felt uncomfortable that her daughter, who had been well-educated and raised, had become like this. When she shook hands with her daughter just now, she felt the calluses on the palms of her daughter's hands.

Father Su sighed helplessly when he saw this. "You... Forget it, let's go back first. We can discuss anything later."

Mr. Su didn't have much to clean up, just some junk, so he just gave it to the neighbors to try to improve his relationship with them.

When seeing the independent and secluded small courtyard house, Su's father was so surprised that he was speechless, especially Su's mother. Before, the old couple had been living in a lawn that was leaky everywhere. Now they live in such a comfortable room and feel much more comfortable than before.

The weather is still very cold now. Su Tong used his connections to get some coal. The kang had already been lit up. It was so warm that people didn't want to get up when lying on it.

After the old couple returned home, they learned that the house was bought by their daughter. They immediately told their daughter not to show off her wealth and to be frugal in the future so as not to be targeted by people with ulterior motives.

Su Tong agreed and gave all the money he had to Su's father, asking them to keep it for him.

Although I came here in the beginning of spring, it is still a period of shortage of food. The only things to eat are radishes and cabbages, and I have to buy these things with my own money.

However, today is a good day for the family to reunite. Mother Su specially made dumplings with sauerkraut and pork stuffing. The whole family enjoyed the meal very much, and it felt like the New Year.
