Chapter 136
When Ding Yu went there, she first went to look for the neighborhood committee. She dressed herself up and brought a few handfuls of hard candies and melon seeds.
When I arrived at the neighborhood committee, I saw many women sitting there knitting sweaters, mending clothes, collecting shoe soles, and picking vegetables. In short, no matter what they were doing, their mouths and ears were always busy. They were either gossiping or their ears were listening attentively.
Gossip about others.
Tengyu has been here many times. It should be said that as long as she is told a location in the entire county, her mind will immediately think of where that place is and what buildings are around it. After all, her years of begging experience were not in vain.
!
There is a small square in front of the neighborhood committees of these school district buildings next to the school, and there is a circle of trees planted around it. Whether it is to enjoy the shade in summer or bask in the sun in winter, plus most of the people working in the neighborhood committee are women, it is a gathering place for gossip, so Ding
You don't have to go to other places to ask door to door. Just come here and reveal the news. I believe you will get a response.
Sure enough, the stranger Ting Yu was asked what he did in the past. Ting Yu was so sweet that he took out the prepared candies and melon seeds and gave them to the women present. No matter how much they were, he could always give these women something for free.
She immediately put her guard down. Later, she heard Ding Yu say that her younger brother and sister go to school here and there are so many people. It is not cost-effective to live in the school and pay money to the school. It is better to find a house to live outside and let them bring food from home to cook.
Good deal.
When they heard that Ding Yu was looking for a house, these women immediately started talking about who had an empty house, whose house was nice, who was easy to get along with, who was not easy to get along with, etc. As long as you stayed there for a long time, you would be able to take in the surroundings.
Whatever the eight generations of my family's ancestors were doing, these women found out.
Tinyu heard so much about whose house it was that some impatient people who wanted to make this money stood up and wanted to visit their houses in person.
"Everyone, ladies, I have a lot of younger brothers and sisters, and if possible, I would like to find a bigger house. It would be best to rent the whole yard. Maybe people from our village will move in together if they look good, so,
Do you ladies know if there is a house like this for rent nearby?”
The woman who started to think about visiting her house gave up the idea as soon as she heard that. In this era, every family has many children and housing is tight. If only one room is rented out, the children can squeeze in to make room, but once
Renting out the entire house would dissuade almost everyone at once.
Many families live in the same yard with several other families. Who has an empty yard that no one lives in?
Ding Yu knew this was the case at a glance, but she didn't come here for these people. She looked into the neighborhood committee's office and saw that no one was coming out. Knowing that no one could be transferred out, she had to go in by herself.
"The people have no money, and it is indeed difficult. Director, I remember that we took over the house of a family by the bridge some time ago and haven't divided it up yet. Otherwise, let's not divide it out yet, and first help the farmer brothers take care of their children.
Is it difficult to go to school?"
"Yes, they are all digging in the fields. It is too difficult to provide for one child to study, but my family has provided for two. No, after only one month of education, the family feels pressure. Originally, a half-year-old boy can eat
, I usually don’t have enough steamed bread at home, so I have to fill my stomach with wild vegetable porridge to have a good sleep. However, I don’t have this at school.
Conditions, the family has settled the accounts, why not rent a yard for them outside so that they can cook soup and drink porridge. The family will give them free vegetables grown at home every once in a while, so that they can have a hot meal without having to eat all the food.
Fill your stomach with food, and you will have money for accommodation, hot meals, and even hot water."
"It is true that it is difficult for a family to provide for one child to go to school. Even if we are a dual-income family in the city with several children going to school, life will be very tight. This girl is really reasonable."
Ding Yu knocked on the door outside and then pushed open the door that separated the inside and outside. There were three women sitting inside. Ding Yu raised a smile and greeted the people inside, "Hello, leaders, I am from the village below, brother.
My younger sister is studying in the No. 1 Middle School in the county here. Due to family reasons, I want to find a house to rent for them to live in. I don’t know if we have any vacant houses here, which will disturb the work of the leaders.”
One woman spoke out in support, and other women followed suit.
When Tengyu saw that there was indeed an empty house, he immediately hit the snake and followed the stick. Just looking at the appearance of the women outside, he knew that it was difficult to find an empty house in the county. If he wanted to find a separate room, he could find one, but he wanted to find a whole rented yard.
It's extremely difficult.
"We all heard what you said outside just now in the house. Do you want to rent an entire yard to yourself?"
As Tengyu spoke, she put a few pieces of candy and a handful of melon seeds on the table. These things were not considered bribes, after all, she had been giving them in from outside, and these people had also seen them.
It can be said that the calculations made by Tengyu were so accurate that even the hot water was included, but it sounds very reasonable. No one had thought about this before, and they didn't take it seriously. Now, when Tengyu hears it, he calculates it one by one.
I found that my children really save a lot of money by not living in school.
"Hey, thank you so much, eldest sister. To be honest, if things continue like this, my family really can't afford two students with both money and food, so one of them has to come down. You can tell me that I've already gone to high school, and it won't be long after I come down.
It’s a pity, but my family is really in trouble, so it’s great that you can help solve this problem!”
I’m just telling you. Ding Yu nodded.
Once the breakthrough came, of course Ding Yu immediately followed him, staring straight at the middle-aged woman who was called the director.
Being stared at by Dingyu's almost gleaming eyes, the director who had been silent until now subconsciously cleared his throat, "Well, we are all poor peasant brothers. It is indeed not easy to provide for a student, but..."
"Don't worry, it's not just our family, other families with students in our village also think that if we can find such a yard, we can pool money to rent it together. Although we are farmers with little experience in the countryside, we can't be ignorant.
It's hard to tell leaders, we can't take advantage of everyone's common property."
Ding Yu pretended to be uneducated. Although the words he spoke were inconsistent and uninformative, his meaning was clear. They were paying for rent and would not let the neighborhood committee vacate the house in vain.
Ding Yu knows that compared to taking back the houses and giving them to people on the streets who have no houses to live in for free, people like Ding Yu who are paying will definitely give priority to Ding Yu, because even though the money is said to be given to the neighborhood committee,
But how much will be left in the end depends on the operator.
