Xiao Zhang opened the door and said,"This resident has been transferred to another city for work. The house is quite clean. You can move in after cleaning it."”
Zhang Mei was quite fond of the house. Although it was not as spacious as living in the countryside, it was still in the city. Zhang Mei was very satisfied to have such a big house.
After sending off Xiao Zhang, the mother and son began to clean the room. Wang Qing looked at the empty room and said,"Mom, we need to buy some furniture.”
Zhang Mei rolled her eyes at Wang Qing and said,"How can our family have so much money? Take it slow. With our salary, we will be fine in the future.”
Wang Qing looked at her younger sisters and said,"Mom, we have overalls. The younger sisters should also make some clothes. Otherwise, when we go to school, the younger sisters will be laughed at."”
Zhang Mei thought about it and said,"Okay, Mom will buy two new clothes for your sisters."”
Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang jumped up high when they heard that. They clapped their hands happily and said,""There are new clothes to wear."
At this moment, two women came to the door. One was older and the other was younger. The older one asked,"Are you new residents?"
Ever since Old Huang moved away, the Liu, Yan, and Jia families had been eyeing this house. They had also applied to the street office, but there had been no news. They did not expect that there would be someone else.
The second aunt felt uncomfortable, but she did not express it. She smiled and said,"I'm from the second uncle's family in the backyard. You can call me second aunt in the future. We live next door to you. This is Lou Xiao'e, who lives opposite you.”
Zhang Mei smiled and greeted the two of them. Lou Xiao'e's eyes were shining as she looked at the big and small pairs. She had never seen such cute children. Because she had been married for a long time and had no children, she liked children very much.
He squatted down and took out two White Rabbit Creamy Candies from his pocket."Come, Aunt Lou will treat you to some candy."
"It's too expensive. You're being too polite." Zhang Mei quickly refused.”
Lou Xiao'e waved her hand nonchalantly and stuffed the candy into Dashuang and Xiaoshuang's hands. She said,""It's just two candies. We're neighbors. There's a saying that goes, a good distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor.”
Dashuang and Xiaoshuang looked at their elder brother at a loss. Wang Qing smiled and nodded."Hurry up and thank Aunt Lou."
"Thank you, Aunt Lou."”
Lou Xiao'e smiled happily."No need to thank me. Come and play with Aunt Lou whenever you have nothing to do in the future."”
At this time, two more women came. Their faces were pale. One look and one could tell that their lives were tight. However, how many of them were living well these days?
The two of them came in and greeted each other before helping to clean up. No matter how Zhang Mei tried to dissuade them, it was useless. In the end, she could only ask them to help. Lou Xiao'e's second aunt looked embarrassed when she saw this.
Second Aunt didn't want to help at all. Lou Xiao'e had never worked before. Wang Qing saw all this.
One of the people that Lou Xiao'e introduced to help was Wang Tiezhu's wife. She had three children at home, the youngest of whom was three years old and the oldest was Eleven. The whole family depended on Wang Tiezhu's 27.50 yuan salary to survive. The other was Zhang Dachuan's wife. There were four children at home, the youngest of whom was five years old and the oldest of whom was Thirteen. They also depended on Zhang Dachuan's monthly salary to survive.
Both families lived in the backyard. Wang Tiezhu's side room was next door to Wang Qing's house, while Zhang Dachuan's side room was diagonally opposite Xu Damao's house.
There was also a side room that was not occupied by the rolling mill workers. It was called Zhang Dachui's family. They were not there because they were out visiting relatives.
Beside Wang Qing's house was a small door, and behind it was a row of back-sheltered rooms. They had been abandoned for a long time, and everyone usually used them to store some junk.
With Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang's help, the house was quickly cleaned up. It was already time to get off work.
Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, came over and said a few words of courtesy. Then, he took the second aunt back. Lou Xiao'e also went home. However, when Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang left, Wang Qing gave them a pheasant each. After the two of them declined, they forced it into their arms.
Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang looked at the pheasant in their arms. They thought to themselves that this family was a kind person. At the same time, they were grateful to Wang Qing's family. These days, a pheasant was worth a lot of money. She was just helping to clean the house, and they gave her such a big gift.
One had to know that pork was 78 cents, rice was 23 cents, flour was 18 cents, coarse grains were 10 cents, and eggs were 48 cents. Wasn't a pheasant a big gift? Moreover, they couldn't buy it even if they had tickets.
After thanking them again and again, the two of them went home happily. They could give the children extra food today.
Wang Qing took 30 yuan from Zhang Mei and led her sisters straight to the nearby department store.
He bought two sets of sportswear for the two little girls and spent 18 yuan.(At that time, an adult's sportswear was 15-18 yuan, and a child's sportswear was only 10 yuan. He also asked his grandfather about the price, so don't complain.)）He also bought some non-staple food, seasonings, and so on before he brought Happy's sister back to the courtyard.
At Yi Zhonghai's house in the middle court, Yi Zhonghai looked at the backs of the three siblings and asked,""Is this the new family?”
"Yes, they live in the backyard." Aunt Yi nodded.”
Yi Zhonghai frowned when he heard that. He had planned to give the house to the Jia family. Ever since his disciple Jia Dongxu died in an accident, the Jia family's orphans and widows lived in the same house. It was indeed a little crowded. In the future, it would be even more difficult for the boy to grow up. However, God's will was not as good as God's. He did not expect the street to be given to someone else.
Aunt One said,"Old Yi, don't even think about it. Since there are arrangements for the street, then this house can't be given to the Jia family."”
Aunt Yi naturally knew her husband's thoughts. She was helping the Jia family now so that the Jia family could support them in the future.
In the evening, Wang Qingyi had just finished his meal when Aunt Two knocked on the door."Zhang Mei has come out for a meeting."”
Wang Qing knew what was going on and shouted,"Auntie Er, let's go later.”
In the middle courtyard, Wang Qing's family had just entered when they saw a picture of the Eight Immortals in the middle. Three old men were sitting in a finished product font. On the table were three large porcelain jars with the words "Rolling Mill" printed on them.
There were more than a hundred people sitting below. The children were running around crazily. Wang Qing felt a sense of age when she saw them.
Lou Xiao'e waved at Wang Qing's family,""Zhang Mei, come and sit here."
Wang Qing did not stand on ceremony. She brought her mother and sister to the bench beside Lou Xiao'e and sat down, waiting for the meeting.
"Cough, alright, everyone's here. Now, there's Grandpa One to say a few words.”
Liu Haizhong said a few polite words and handed the power to Yi Zhonghai.
"We're here today to welcome Zhang Mei and her family," Yi Zhonghai said with a smile."Everyone, welcome."”
After a round of applause, Yi Zhonghai continued,""We are the outstanding compound selected by the street. If there's anything, everyone will help each other. Zhang Mei's family is new here.”
Wang Qing thought to himself,"Don't help me. Yi Zhonghai's heart is already on the edge." However, he couldn't say that out loud.
Wang Qing stood up and said,"Neighbors, my name is Wang Qing. From now on, our family will live in the courtyard house. I hope everyone can help us in the future."”
A man who looked anxious stood up and said,""My name is He Yuzhu and I'm the head chef of the rolling mill. If there's anything you need in the future, just let me know. I won't refuse if I can help.”
He knew that the person in front of him was Silly Zhu, the pitiful person who was sucked to death by Qin Huairu's family.
