It was raining heavily outside, and Doudou couldn't go out to play with the children. Lin Mai was doing the papers, and she was drawing on the side.
Before I knew it, it was around eleven o'clock and it was time to make lunch.
Lin Mai put down his pen, stretched out, and glanced at Doudou, who was drawing on the coffee table.
Seeing that she had painted a lot, Lin Mai picked up her paintings and looked at them.
They are all drawn according to comic strips, the little rabbit gnawing carrots, the little fox pretending to be powerful...the drawings are all very realistic.
Lin Mai thought that Doudou didn't like studying, but loved painting, and thought about it and wanted to send her to learn painting.
It suddenly occurred to me that this was the 1980s and there were no interest classes on the market.
Then let her teach herself by following the comic strips first. When she goes to elementary school and has art classes, she can learn to draw from the art teacher.
Lunch was done and as soon as the coffee table was set, Fang Zhuoran came.
During lunch, Lin Mai told Fang Zhuoran that Fang Ting's family had been looking for her.
Fang Zhuoran asked: "Did they give you the remaining 10,000 yuan?"
"I gave it." Lin Mai asked deliberately: "What if I didn't give it?"
"I'll help you get it back."
Lin Mai felt warm in his heart after hearing this.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Mai took the completed test paper to the Middle School Affiliated to Puji Medical University.
The head teacher, Teacher Wei, requested that the completed test papers be sent to the school for correction every two days.
If she doesn't know what to do or does wrong, you can give her timely guidance.
Save yourself the trouble of working behind closed doors and getting twice the result with half the effort.
Since being hospitalized, Lin Mai has not sent any test papers to school for correction.
As soon as Teacher Wei and other teachers saw her, they asked with concern how she was recovering.
Her heroic deeds were published in the newspapers and all the teachers knew about it.
The school even held a meeting to praise her by name, but she didn't know about it because she didn't come to school.
Lin Mai smiled shyly and said, "It's okay now. Thank you all teachers for your concern."
Then without saying much, I gave the test papers to the teachers for correction.
It was still the same as before, she didn't make many mistakes, and the teachers finished tutoring her in just a few words.
Teacher Wei was a very nice person. When sending Lin Mai out of the office, he told her not to forget to take the monthly exam the day after tomorrow.
After leaving school, Lin Mai went to the landlord's house.
Now that she has money, she wants to buy the house as soon as possible. Not only will she feel at ease, but the landlord will also be able to get the money to reunite with his children in Hong Kong as soon as possible.
The landlord was holding a cup of tea and staring at the heavy rain outside in a daze.
Seeing Lin Mai coming holding a big black umbrella, Wei Wei asked in surprise: "Why are you here in such a heavy rain?"
Lin Mai pursed his lips and smiled: "I collected the money to buy a house."
When the landlord heard this, his wrinkled old face immediately turned into a chrysanthemum smile, and he immediately went home to get the land certificate and property certificate.
He looked forward to the stars and the moon every day, hoping that Lin Mai would collect the money for the house as soon as possible so that he could buy the house.
He could go to Hong Kong to reunite with his sons, and he finally looked forward to this day.
The two of them went to the real estate exchange to conduct transactions.
The landlord handed Lin Mai the land certificate and property certificate, and Lin Mai gave her the house payment.
The landlord counted the money several times and found that there was no problem. He raised his head and suddenly asked: "Do you still have money on your hand?"
Lin Mai asked confused: "Yes, but not much. What's wrong?"
The landlord laughed twice: "I want to sell you the single room I live in now, do you want it?"
"Where? How big is it? How much is it?"
Lin Mai doesn't mind that there are too many houses. If you buy a house in this era, you will make money when you buy it.
The landlord pointed to the southwest: "It's right on the road ahead.
How big can a single room be? It’s twenty-five square meters including the kitchen and so on. If you want it, I’ll sell it to you for three hundred and fifty.”
Not to mention that his snack bar earns more than 300 yuan every month, this price is just cabbage price to Lin Mai.
Just because the house is on the road, Lin Mai really wants to buy it.
The Qianjin Road is very close to Jiefang Road, only one stop away.
If I buy it for Li Mingcheng to live in, he won't have to set up a bunk in the shop to sleep every night.
Lin Mai held out three fingers: "Three hundred."
The landlord was silent for a moment and nodded: "Three hundred is three hundred."
Lin Mai went to see the single room with the landlord.
The landlord's single room is located in the dormitory complex of the light bulb factory, and is one of the Tuanjie Houses.
Tuanjiehu is a unique type of welfare housing before the 1980s.
Enter through a gate, and there are two or three families living inside.
Two or three neighboring households share bathrooms or kitchens, or both, making life very inconvenient.
The united apartment in the landlord's unit is pretty good. It only shares the bathroom and the kitchen is independent for each family, but it's very small.
It is said to have an area of 25 square meters, and that includes the area of the shared corridor and bathroom.
Lin Mai measured it with a ruler and found that the actual area of the room was only fifteen square meters and the kitchen was only one square meter.
But it is enough for Li Mingcheng to live alone.
The landlord pointed to the furniture in the room and said, "I don't want any of these anymore, I'll leave them all to you."
Lin Mai checked the bed and wardrobe. Although they were old, they were both sturdy and functional.
After buying this house, Li Mingcheng can move in with just his bags, which is very convenient.
Lin Mai immediately asked the landlord to take the land certificate and real estate certificate and go with her to the real estate exchange to trade.
The landlord hesitated: "You go to the real estate exchange first and wait for me. I'll be there soon."
Lin Mai was always cautious, so when he saw him like this, he asked directly: "Is there something wrong with your house?"
The landlord had a serious face and flatly denied: "No problem!"
"Then why don't you go to the real estate exchange with me?"
The landlord opened his mouth, as if it was difficult to speak.
Finally, he felt relieved and said: "To tell you the truth, I haven't bought the single room I live in in the factory yet."
Lin Mai was a little angry and said: "Then you still said you would sell it to me! Isn't this a lie?"
"Don't get angry yet. Listen to me slowly."
The landlord explained: "Although I haven't bought it yet, I am qualified to buy it.
The reason why I didn't buy it before was because I thought I wouldn't be able to sell it for a lot of money, and it would be too tiring and troublesome to have to deal with people.
But seeing that you are happy to pay, I want to sell it to you.
I will go to the factory and buy the house now. If you are worried, just come with me."
Lin Mai went to the factory with him.
I didn’t expect that the process for workers to buy welfare housing in the 1980s was so simple.
After the workers paid the money, the factory took out the land certificate and real estate certificate, filled in the information of the employee who bought the house, stamped it with the official seal, and the house belonged to the employee who bought the house.
What Lin Mai didn't expect was that the welfare room in the unit was so cheap. A large room with a separate kitchen only cost 85 yuan.
The amount of money he spent to buy a welfare house was witnessed by Lin Mai, and the landlord was a little embarrassed.
Afraid that Lin Mai might have some ideas and think he was evil-hearted, he sold the house he bought from his work unit No. 85 to her for 300 yuan.
Lin Mai, however, behaved very calmly.
The two went to the real estate exchange again, and Lin Mai bought the single room.
Now that he has two brand new sets of real estate certificates and land certificates with his name on them, Lin Mai feels particularly at ease.
With these two houses, plus the house in Sanyang Village, even if I do nothing in the future, I can still live a life without worries about food and clothing.
When I have free time, I will renovate and expand the bungalow in Sanyang Village into a five-story house for rent, so that I can sleep better.
