Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 41 Chapter 041
Tang Zhitong has been very busy recently. He has participated in street labor, paved the path outside the gate, and expanded his rabbit circle.

When Tang Zhitong wanted to build a bathroom, Zhang Guifang clearly expressed her opposition: "It only costs [-] cents to take a bath in the bathhouse. How much does it cost to build a bathroom by yourself? Look at which household in the neighborhood has built a bathroom by itself?"

"Then they don't have room to build? Mom, take a look at Lao Wan's family and Lao Cao's family in the west. They not only have bathrooms, but also boilers." Tang Zhitong explained to his mother with a playful smile.

"What kind of family do they have? What kind of family do we have? If we build one, some people will say that we are a prodigal, a charlatan, and our reputation will be ruined. Are you going to say no to your wife in the future?" Zhang Guifang hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, and pointed at Tang Zhitong, "Give me less." You are so playful and smiling. If I had known you were buying bricks and tiles for this purpose, I should have stopped you!"

"Mom, please calm down. I'm not trying to enjoy myself. Look at the lice on Fengzhen and Fengzhi's heads, and look at the bumps on their bodies bitten by bedbugs. We adults can bear it, but I look at my two sisters. I feel so distressed by that look." Tang Zhitong moved his sister out and told her the real reason for building a bathroom.

"Whose child didn't come here like this? This is much better than when I was a child." Zhang Guifang muttered and still disagreed, "You have this money, why don't you save it? You will become a full-time employee in four months. Then you will need Money. It’s not cost-effective for you to build it now, we won’t be able to use it for a few months.”

"Mom, don't worry, I won't sell the house. We have already taken care of the money, so don't worry about it." In Tang Zhitong's plan, part of the inventory can be used next year to get back the mortgaged house.

It cost nothing to do the job, it was just an excuse to spend money. But it was hard to tell my mother directly. If I did, she would be forced to ask: Where are the things you bought?Tang Zhitong couldn't explain it at all.

"What's the clue? What can you do?" Zhang Guifang stopped worrying about the bathroom issue and asked.

"Well..." Tang Zhitong's mind was spinning rapidly, and he made up an excuse: "Don't we have a mutual aid association in our unit? I will join the association next month, and it will cost 15 yuan a month, which is 180 a year. We can borrow this money first, and then use it later. Return slowly."

"What about the gap of more than 400?"

"Borrow it from your friends. Brother Ma San, Gu Yong, and Wang Jingwen each borrow one hundred and fifty, isn't that enough?"

"Can someone lend it to you?" Zhang Guifang asked suspiciously.

"Yes! I've already said hello, and you can talk anytime when you need it. Don't worry!" Tang Zhitong patted his chest, pretending to be very confident in order to reassure his mother.

"Do you still have contact with that girl?" Zhang Guifang felt relieved and her interest changed.

"Friends, I write letters occasionally." Tang Zhitong continued to lie. In fact, they only exchanged letters one time.

"What did you say in your letter? They don't dislike us, right?"

"I didn't say anything, just because my parents are short-sighted. But she did persuade me to build a bathroom. When I came back last time, I saw that my sister had lice on her head. She said that if there were too many of them, she would easily get sick. She advised me to pay attention to hygiene and take good care of my sister." Since she If you didn't reply, it means you have no idea about yourself. Well, you can use it a little bit to achieve the purpose of building a bathroom.

"Then cover it!" After hearing this, Zhang Guifang was stunned for a moment and readily agreed.

After getting his mother's permission, Tang Zhitong went to Director Xu for help. He already had bricks and tiles, but there was still a shortage of cement.

Thanks to Tang Zhitong’s advice to Director Xu earlier, she readily approved the small matter of cement.

Winter is not a good season for construction. Director Xu was worried that Tang Zhitong could not do it well on his own, so he thoughtfully contacted someone from the Housing Authority to come and do the work.

The Housing Authority is not only responsible for the allocation and leasing of houses in the area, but also adds a new function after renting - house maintenance.Therefore, they have no shortage of construction personnel and building materials.While Tang Zhitong was running around for the bathroom, Wang Jingwen was at the entrance of Beihai Park.

It was cold, so she was wearing Tang Zhitong's winter coat without adjusting the cuffs. She just put her hands together, which kept her warm and saved a pair of gloves.

After waiting for a while, a young man wearing a military green uniform came over on a bicycle from east to west.

The young man stopped in front of Wang Jingwen, handed the candied haws in his hand to Wang Jingwen, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm late. Thinking that you like to eat candied haws, I took a detour to buy one."

"Okay, Gou Sheng, you have learned to take care of others." Wang Jingwen took her hands out of her sleeves and took the candied haws.

"Comrade Wang Jingwen, please call me Wu Aijun." The young man put his bicycle in the storage area and took the bamboo sign to protest Wang Jingwen's call to him.

"Okay. Then may I ask Comrade Wu Aijun, what do you want from me? I won't dare to eat this candied haws unless you explain clearly." Wang Jingwen retracted her hands into her cuffs. Long sleeves are also good, at least they can block the wind.

"Um...Aunt Ye didn't tell you?" Wu Aijun was stunned and asked.

"Just say you have something urgent to do with me, and ask me to wait for you at the gate of Beihai Park at noon. You said you are the same, can't you make a call if you have something urgent?" Wang Jingwen complained dissatisfied.

"Um...what do you think of me?" Wu Aijun asked a little shyly.

"What's the point?" Wang Jingwen looked at Wu Aijun's appearance and suddenly realized, like a turtle eager to steal melons in the melon field: "Are we dating? You're not bad, you're taller than me. You're not bad looking. She’s wearing this outfit again, and her workplace is not bad, very good, very good. Whose girl is she? Do I know her?”

"Uh... um." Wu Aijun glanced at Wang Jingwen and nodded in acknowledgement.

"Wow! We really know each other. Cao Shuangshuang? Guo Aihong? Or Yue Zhenzhen?" At this moment, Wang Jingwen was as if she had bitten the rind of a melon. She was so happy that she finally bent down and covered her stomach, "Ouch, I can't do it anymore, I'm laughing to death. We all know each other so well, how did you do it?"

After seeing Wang Jingwen's appearance and listening to Wang Jingwen's words, Wu Aijun's face disappeared and he solved the mystery and said: "Aunt Ye wants to find a partner for you. My mother said that when the male is older, the girl is older and we are about the same age. , and the families of both parties know the basics, so let me come over and talk to you, saying that we young people have something to say..."

"What?" Wang Jingwen was unhappy, her eyes widened, like a jaguar being stabbed on the body before eating it, and she said angrily: "You all know your feelings, so you just hide them from me? Wu Aijun, what do you think? of?"

"I...I think my mother is right, both sides know the basics..." Wu Aijun hesitated, but still mustered up the courage to say.

"Bah! I still treat you as a friend, but you... you...!" Wang Jingwen was so angry that she couldn't say anything, and handed the candied haws to Wu Aijun, "Give it back to you! I can't afford this candied haws!"

After Wang Jingwen said this, he ignored Wu Aijun and left angrily.
