Chapter 52 2 Houses

After returning to the hospital, the second sister took the time to tell the eldest sister part of what happened with Liu Junming. The second sister also thought that her relationship with Liu Junming was over.

The two decided not to tell their mother for the time being, as Zhang Xingwang's illness alone was enough to make her exhausted.

Unexpectedly, two days later, Liu Junming came again. Not far from the gate of the yard, he stopped my second sister, ignoring the surprised looks of the people around him.

He said to his second sister with great joy: He has made up his mind, and he doesn't need to worry about his parents. After they get married, they will rent a house and live on their own. He can go home by himself during the holidays in the future.

But through the eldest sister's experience, the second sister understood that without the support of the elderly in the family, no one knew what would happen in the end. Moreover, Liu Junming's parents were obviously not a very worry-free person.

In addition, Zhang Xingwang's condition has worsened recently, and the doctor has told him to consider being discharged from the hospital and going home.

I will talk about their affairs after my brother recovers. Liu Junming has been going crazy over this matter these days. When he heard this, he couldn't help it and lost his temper. He said without thinking:

"Did you tell my dad that you want me to ask for more betrothal gifts to help your brother?"

After listening to this, the second sister paused for a long time and replied calmly:

"My brother needs money for medical treatment."

The conversation between the two was quite perfunctory, and it seemed as if nothing was said.

Although the second sister had seen Liu Junming's efforts these days, she was a little disappointed in him after hearing this.

After hearing this, Liu Junming turned around and pushed his bicycle away angrily without saying a word.

Pushing the bicycle, he jogged twice in a handsome manner, with his left foot on the pedal. He lifted his right leg vigorously, and in a big arc, he went around from behind and landed on the pedal at the back.

The second sister was about to turn around and go into the yard, but she heard a "swish" sound and stopped to look. Liu Junming had already stopped the car in a panic, silently took off his shirt, and tied it around his waist skillfully.

Looking at the stunned second sister, he shouted with a face full of grievance:

"Why are you dazed?"

After saying that, he lost his momentum in an instant, and pleaded softly:

"Pan Di, please help me sew it again, I'm in a hurry"

The second sister was originally very sad, with tears welling up in her eyes, but he made her laugh so hard that she turned around and went back to her room to get her needle and thread, feeling both amused and helpless.

The two of them found a secluded place again. The second sister looked up and saw white thighs, and a pair of pants that had been in service for too long and were pulled from the thighs to the crotch.

Liu Junming also turned his head skillfully, spread his legs, and grabbed my second sister's sleeve with one hand to prevent her from running away. He covered his crotch with the other hand and forced an explanation, "I have grown taller recently," and waited for my second sister to help him sew.

When they were sewing the pants, they were arguing with each other again. After finally finishing the sewing, the second sister kicked him in the calf with a mixture of anger and amusement, and then turned and walked away. Liu Junming also cursed, tucked his legs together, and ran away pushing his bicycle.

From then on, the second sister never paid much attention to Liu Junming again. It seemed as if the two of them had broken up but also as if they hadn't.

Liu Junming also appeared inexplicably only once, when the eldest sister and Wang Xiulan were arguing with Jia Zhang.

Zhang Xingwang was completely offline after hearing this. Isn't this a standard magical melodrama? But his illness has been cured, and his second sister has a formal job in a department store, and she is no longer a burden to the family. Why didn't he mention her and Liu Junming?

Considering the character of the second sister, it is normal that she did not mention it. It seems that I have to go to the street to deal with the affairs of the two sisters.

The next morning, after receiving the sweet potatoes given by Brother Tong, I strolled to the street office. When I arrived, I went straight to Director Wang's office.

After knocking on the door, Director Wang saw that it was him. His expression vividly explained what it meant to be overjoyed. Without saying a word, he pulled him in, pushed him into a chair, and even considerately closed the door.

Before closing the door, he looked around and didn't see any backpacks or anything like that. He felt a little disappointed, but then he asked amiably:

"Xiao Zhang, what are you talking to your Aunt Wang about? Are you planning to go fishing today?"

"Auntie Wang, I'm not going fishing today. I really need your help with something."

"Thank you for helping me."

When Director Wang heard this, he smiled even more. He thought, what kind of difficulties could he have now? He came here empty-handed, so it must not be a big deal. It was probably just some family matters, and he joked:

"The job your Aunt Wang does is specifically to serve everyone. If you have anything to say, just tell her. Aunt Wang loves to help others the most."

Zhang Xingwang listened to what Director Wang said, and then looked at the smiling expression on her face. He felt something was strange, but without thinking too much, he cleared his throat and started talking about his elder sister, wanting her to check on Luo Zhenghao's situation.

When Director Wang heard this, he thought it was not a big problem, so he replied that he would ask someone to check whether any notice had been sent to Luo Zhenghao's family.

After all, these days, if soldiers are injured or killed, the money is usually sent to their families through the streets.

After he finished speaking, he stood up and went out for a while. He came back a few minutes later. After he came back, Director Wang asked casually:

"What's up, kid? Why are you making the atmosphere so serious so early in the morning? If you have nothing else, go back quickly so as not to delay your fishing trip."

Zhang Xinwang was left in a state of confusion as to whether to laugh or cry. He was indeed the director of the street, and his ability to talk was almost as good as that of Grandma Liehuo.

Suddenly thinking of the house, he said to Director Wang in a flattering manner:

"Aunt, I really have a big problem. There are too many people in my family. The house is full. I am a grown man and I have to sleep in the same room with several women every day. What kind of situation is this?"

Zhang Xingwang did not continue speaking, but looked at Director Wang's reaction with a little nervousness.

"Xingwang, you are putting your Aunt Wang in a difficult position. You know that there are not many houses now and there are many people. There are people lining up to rent houses all over the city. The total cost is at least 8,000 or 10,000.

This matter is really difficult for you to solve, why don’t you apply and Aunt Wang, if there is a suitable one, will give you priority.”

After hearing this, Director Wang's face was immediately full of confusion. After thinking for a long time, he replied earnestly.

Zhang Xingwang heard this and did not directly refuse, which meant there was still room for negotiation, so he tentatively said:

"Auntie Wang, look, isn't there a deaf old lady living next door to me?"

Before he could finish his words, Director Wang interrupted him.

"You have your eyes on the old lady's house. If you can provide for her in her old age, Aunt Wang will make the decision. You can live in one of her two rooms."

After hearing this, Zhang Xingwang had a greeting in his mind, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

It seemed that the house issue was difficult to handle, so I asked about the deaf old lady's situation. From Director Wang's expression of "You guy, why don't you give up?", I got a general idea.

The deaf old lady was not a relative of a martyr, but just an ordinary widower who had applied for five-guarantee status from the street.

But the problem is that the deaf old lady has the property certificates for the two houses. Putting aside the money for buying the houses, how could the old lady agree to sell the two houses!

The old lady is not senile. It would be easy for you to cheat her with something else. But she has to go to the street office to handle the formalities for planning a house. I don't know whether the old lady can react in time. I'm afraid the street office will directly step in to stop her. Besides, there are people in the yard watching her.

It seems that the only thing I can do is to have a frank talk with the deaf old lady. I'll try it first and see if it works, but I guess there's no hope.

Zhang Xingwang was looking worried and thinking about the house, when Director Wang suddenly muttered nonchalantly:

"I heard that you have two rooms in the front yard, please vacate them quickly."

He stopped talking halfway and looked at Zhang Xinwang with a joking expression.
