022 Entering the Mountains and Settling Down
On the other side of the big truck, Xu Lijuan originally didn't plan to follow the truck, but she couldn't rent a cheap house near the hospital. Her son Wang Yu's recovery after the surgery was very good, which was beyond expectations. The hospital said he would just check again in three months. This is
There is no need to continue living in S city, and I can go back to my hometown.
However, Xu Lijuan's mother has to take care of her father's condition. Both her brother and sister-in-law have jobs and two children. If she takes her son back to her parents' home alone, people in the village will gossip. She only sends her son back because if her condition relapses, she will have to go through further troubles.
Finding a hospital in the city would be a waste of time. Although Wang Kuan had relatives there, his parents were both dead and he only had an uncle, who was a few levels behind. He had borrowed money from someone, so how could he bother them to look after his child?
As soon as the couple discussed it, they simply took their son with them to deliver the goods. They thought that after finishing this errand, they would find a new job and settle down with their son.
At night, the whole family squeezed into the cab of a large truck to spend the night. It had an on-board air conditioner and an electric heater so it wasn't cold at all. During the day, the couple drove and the other sat in the passenger seat, and the son could stay in the sleeper. We made do with it like this for now, and we arrived at our destination.
Relocating in a nearby town will definitely be cheaper than renting in City S.
Qi Qing drove the family car, and her mother was also in her car. During the day, she asked Wang Yu to come and play in her car. At night, she did not let Xu Lijuan and the others sleep in the big truck. Instead, they stayed in a hotel in the service area to rest.
Mo Xun drove the big car by himself and looked after him flexibly, and the group of people moved smoothly.
Two days later in the afternoon, Qi Qing and her three vehicles finally arrived at the military factory safely.
Qi Qing can clearly feel that although the climate in the mountains is cold, it is not as outrageous as City S. At least she can still see the lush scenery now, which is completely different from the desolation in City S. She can still stay outdoors wearing a thin down jacket.
.In City S, if there is no air conditioning, it will be cold to the bone, no matter how much you wear, it seems to be useless.
Lao Xu had received the news early and was waiting at the entrance of the factory. When they met, Du Ruying not only brought her daughter, but also brought something in a large truck. He was immediately shocked: "Have you really moved your family back?"
Du Ruying said: "Yeah. It's been ridiculously cold in S City this year. There are also typhoons over there near the sea. How can the weather in our factory be as good as ours? Anyway, I'm retired and can live wherever I live. Seeing that you're in such good health, you're so good with us all those years ago."
My appearance hasn't changed since I was a child, and I don't look older at all. Of course I want to live here and soak up the fairy spirit."
After saying that, Du Ruying generously introduced the people on his side to Lao Xu.
Lao Xu looked at the half-year-old child who got off Du Ruying's car and immediately said with envy: "Is this your grandson? When did your daughter get married, she didn't even say a word."
Qi Qing's face turned red and she explained: "Ahem, Uncle Xu, this is the child of the driver of our truck. I'm not married yet."
Wang Yu was very smart and politely called out "Hello, Grandpa Xu" and then jumped to his parents' place.
Mo Xun stopped everything and walked to Qi Qing. He said hello without saying anything, but his gesture had already given Lao Xu a clue. This young man was probably Du Ruying's prospective son-in-law.
Lao Xu's old friends have all left one after another. His wife died early and his son has been away from home. He was very lonely at first. Du Ruying is an old acquaintance. Now that he has moved back with his family, he is extremely happy.
He took them to the dormitory building. Usually, Lao Xu lived in the duty room at the factory gate, and the electricity elsewhere was turned off. Later, when Professor Wang came with his research team, he chose dormitory building No. 1.
, he turned on the power supply of that building.
Lao Xu said: "If you live for a long time, see if you live in the dormitory building or tidy up a small yard. Professor Wang and the others in the dormitory building have tidied up two houses, and the public toilets and water rooms have also been tidied up. They will be there soon.
Can live in.”
Du Ruying asked: "Can I still live in my original small courtyard?"
Du Ruying was referring to the fact that the factory had built a batch of garden houses for expert-level families. Du Ruying's parents were both expert engineers. Her grandfather was also alive at that time and was an old expert in the military industry. A family of four, including the old and the young, lived here.
It is a small two-story building with better conditions than ordinary families.
This is a two-story small building connected with a green mountain and a single courtyard. There are 18 households in this small building, all made of bricks. It is different from the multi-story building pattern in the centralized dormitory area that requires shared water rooms and toilets.
Lao Xu said: "What you saw last time when you came back is still the same now. It probably needs some repairs before you can live in it. The roofs of many old houses are leaking."
Qi Qing naturally chose a private courtyard. However, she didn't know whether the electricity and water supply systems could still be used. She didn't say anything, so she just accompanied her mother and called Mo Xun again, planning to go to the courtyard to explore. If the water and electricity systems were working,
Yes, they can prepare and live there on the spot. The place is more spacious and private.
Wang Kuan winked at his wife, and Xu Lijuan asked Qi Qing a little awkwardly: "Sister, there is something you haven't mentioned, and we don't dare to ask. But the goods have been delivered, so we still have to ask clearly.
"
Qi Qing knew they were going to transfer the ownership of the vehicle.
She had never transferred the ownership of your car in City S. At this time, she had to explain: "Actually, I have never planned to transfer your car. This car is a tool for you to make money. When it comes to my hands, it is during this period of busy work that I can travel back and forth.
Buying goods from nearby towns. After I settle in, I may still have to sell the car. So I have thought about it for a long time. Otherwise, the car will be returned to you, and the money will be considered as you borrowed it from me. I don’t want interest, etc.
How about you pay me back when you have enough money?"
Xu Lijuan was shocked: "How can this be done? How can we take advantage of you?"
"It's not like taking advantage. You can't leave for the past two months. We agreed at the beginning that only one hundred thousand yuan of the 120,000 yuan was the car payment, so I lent it to you. The other 20,000 yuan was for hiring you these days.
Help me get the goods together. We have to go to nearby towns to buy a lot of things."
"Sister, you are such a good person." Xu Lijuan was so grateful that she didn't know what to say. She pulled Wang Kuan and his son over and the family of three solemnly thanked them.
They looked at the environment here in the factory and felt that they could prepare a house for them to live in temporarily. There was electricity in Dormitory Building No. 1, so they could live there for two months without having to spend money to find a house in the town.
.
The couple were very hands-on and chose a room with complete doors and windows and a working power supply. They moved the bedding and daily necessities from the car and settled in. They immediately took their son to the courtyard chosen by Qi Qing.
Here, the whole family helps with cleaning and unloading.
In the courtyard where Du Ruying lived before, water and electricity can now be connected by opening the gate, but the wiring is relatively old. High-power electrical appliances cannot be used directly and need to be modified.
The supplies Qi Qing brought included some high-end accessories and insulation building materials, but she did not know the specific construction technology of changing water to electricity. The original plan was to clean up the house first and go to a nearby town to find decoration workers tomorrow.
Just like a self-built house in a rural area, you should hurry up and improve the water and electricity before the temperature drops, install an air source heat pump, and repair the waterproofing. There is no need to consider other so-called fine decoration.
Unexpectedly, Wang Kuan and his wife said that they had done renovation work, and Mo Xun also knew about water and electricity renovation, so there was no need to call outsiders.
Before driving, Wang Kuanxue followed the villagers to work at the construction site. He started as a small-time worker, doing water, electricity, cement, tiles, and steel bars, and worked in various types of work. Later, he returned to the village and built farmers' houses. If he knows the construction technology, he can understand this.
Did Mo Xun study engineering or design when he was studying? Hydropower renovation is very professional. Even if you study related majors, you won't be able to get started right away without ever working on a construction site.
Qi Qing became more and more curious and couldn't help but ask: "Mo Xun, which university did you go to and what major did you major in? Could it be engineering?"
