My Courtyard Refuge

Public Rental Housing

After staying in the hospital for a week, Lao Fang was finally discharged, and now he just needs to rest slowly.

“Xiao Xu, thank you for the time.” Lao Fang sincerely thanked you.

Xu Dong waved his hand, and casually put a bucket of milk powder and a piece of fish on the table. The fish weighed about ten catties.

“I found some nutritious food for you, don’t be reluctant to eat it yourself.”

“How embarrassing! I have eaten your family’s food for so many days.”

After finishing speaking, Lao Fang took out his mobile phone and transferred 200,000 yuan to Xu Dong. Now he is poor and only has money left.

Even at the market price, the money is too much.

But Xu Dong still accepted it, and he thought about sending some dried shrimps to Lao Fang later, this stuff is delicious.

Before leaving, Xu Dong specially warned: “The section chief said, let you take a good rest and recuperate for a while, and don’t rush to work.”

“Understood, tell Lao Li that I will take a full rest this month and come back to work in May.” Lao Fang nodded.

“No problem, I will definitely bring it.”

As soon as Xu Dong left, Lao Fang went out with the fish on his back. It’s a pity that the milk powder is adult milk powder, otherwise he would just take it with him.

Looking at the address recorded in the phone, it took Lao Fang more than half an hour to finally find Dabao’s home.

“Boom boom boom…”

Dabao ran over to open the door wearing slippers, and when he saw that it was Lao Fang, the little guy immediately excitedly said, “Grandpa, why did you come to my house?”

This “Grandpa” is not out of politeness, but the real thing.

Just yesterday, Dabao recognized Lao Fang as his grandfather in front of his parents in the hospital, and Xu Dong also knew about it.

“Grandpa came to see youup. “Old Fang has a kind face.

At this moment, Dabao’s mother also came over, and hurriedly invited people into the house. My child had been mixing fish soup with this godfather for several days in a row.

Lao Fang handed the fish to Dabao’s mother, “Hurry up and put the fish in the refrigerator, and feed it to Dabao later, my granddaughter is too thin.”

Dabao’s mother looked confused, but Dabao had no scruples, and explained:

“Grandpa, we don’t have a refrigerator at home.”

“Uncle Fang, this fish is too expensive, we can’t take it, you’d better take it back!” Dabao’s mother said shyly.

Lao Fang sighed, and had no choice but to settle for the next best thing: “Okay then, I’ll bring the fish back later, and bring it here next time when it’s ready.”

The granddaughter’s house doesn’t have a refrigerator, so the fish can’t be kept at all.

“Thank you, grandpa.” Dabao said sensiblely.

After taking a sip of water, Lao Fang followed Dabao around the house. The house is not big, about sixty square meters, with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.

Except for some simple furniture, there is basically nothing else in the room, and the economic conditions are not very good.

“Xiao Xiao, when did you buy this house?”

“Uncle Fang, we applied for this house from the city. Our community is all public rental housing.” Dabao’s mother replied.

“No wonder, I said why this house is so densely built, how much is your monthly rent?”

“Eight hundred yuan.”

Dabao’s mother looked rejoicing. Compared with Yanjing’s high housing prices, this rent is already very conscientious.

“It’s not expensive.” Lao Fang nodded and continued to ask, “Isn’t it difficult to apply for this house?”

“Well, fortunately, Dabao’s father is a doctoral student and meets the requirements for settlement. In addition, the child is under seven years old. That’s why he applied. There are too many people queuing up now.”

Lao Fang wanted to take this family of three to live in his own house. His house was 108 square meters, which was more than enough for four people, but he couldn’t say it.

I am afraid that the other party will misunderstand, and I am also afraid that I will not know the person and lead the wolf into the house.

“Xiao Xiao, where are you from?”

“We are from Jinzhou, our hometown is in Pingyang, and we only moved to Yanjing last October.” Dabao’s mother replied.

“Is it because of work?”

Dabao’s mother shook her head, “The main reason is that I can’t stay in my hometown any longer. There is a serious water shortage over there. Everyone runs out. Many people either go to the provincial capital or go to the coast.”

“It’s good to come out, there is a seawater desalination plant here in Yanjing, and it’s usually not too short of water.” Lao Fang comforted.

“Dabao’s father said the same thing. I originally wanted to go to the provincial capital, but her father insisted on coming to Yanjing.” Dabao’s mother echoed.

Lao Fang was sitting on a stool, holding Dabao in his arms, and Dabao was playing a small stand-alone game with Lao Fang’s mobile phone.

“What about your old house, has it been sold?”

“No, I can’t sell it even if I want to. I can only wait for the drought to end and then move back.”

“I see you don’t even have a TV here, why don’t you bring your home appliances?”

Dabao’s mother smiled wryly and said: “Not a few months after we left, something happened in Pingyang. It is said that it was a mess. We dare not go back now. The things in the house are probably gone.”

“Then what are your plans for the future?” Lao Fang asked with concern, mainly worrying about Dabao’s future life.

“When Dabao starts elementary school in the second half of the year, I want to go out and find a job, try to save more money, and improve my child’s life.

As for the house, I don’t want to think about it. Public rental housing is very good, and the house price is so expensive now that I can’t afford it for a lifetime without eating or drinking. ”

Old Fang smiled and suggested:

“I work in a power company. Would you like to come to our company? Although I am not a regular worker, the commuting time is relatively fixed, and it is convenient to pick up the children to and from school.”

“What exactly?”

Dabao’s mother is very excited. It is too difficult to find a job now. If the child’s father did not happen to be a professional counterpart, he would probably be unemployed at home.

These days, everything pays attention to practicality, and sometimes doctoral students are not easy to use.

“Being a security guard like me, the job is very easy. Every day is patrolling, and the salary is five or six thousand a month.”

“Is it difficult to apply for a job?” The salary has far exceeded her expectations, and Dabao’s mother asked quickly.

“It’s not difficult at all.” Lao Fang chuckled and said, “Does Xiao Xu know that he is our captain, and you can go to work, just have a word from him.”

“Brother Xu is so young, I didn’t expect to be the team leader.”

“He is not only the team leader, he is also a rich man with great ability!” Lao Fang said with emotion.

Rich man!

The mother of the big treasure also saw it. She originally hoped that the child would recognize Xu Dong as a godfather, but he didn’t have this wish at all.

“Then I will trouble you, Uncle Fang.”

Lao Fang put Dabao down, “No trouble, I will officially go back to work next month, why don’t you go with me, as for Dabao, just find her a kindergarten.”

Dabao’s mother thought about it, and went to be a security guard by herself. Five or six thousand yuan a month is enough for her daughter to go to kindergarten, so she noddedagree to come down.

“Then it’s settled. You can discuss it with Dabao’s father later. If the tuition fee is not enough, I can help you pay some.”

“Enough, we still have some savings.” Dabao’s mother quickly replied.
