Chapter 573: I want to finish my work and get a house
"Oh, thank you, Brother Jiang Ting."
Lu Jiangting looked at the energetic Wang Jianguo with a face full of satisfaction.
Wang Jianguo then said, "Brother Jiang Ting, can you help us find a cheaper place to live? I can live on the street without worry, but I can't let my dad live on the street."
Lu Jiangting, "Is your father also planning to stay here for an extended period?"
"No, my dad definitely has to go back. He still has a few acres of land in the mountains to cultivate. But he's not feeling well after traveling for a few days, so he plans to rest for a few days before leaving. Besides, the family needs money, so he might have to ask Fang Qing for the money before he goes."
Lu Jiangting had no kind words to Wang Zhong, thinking that he should be the one sleeping on the street and dying of illness.
However, I certainly couldn't say what was on my mind in front of his son. I just thought the old man was really lucky. He wasn't a good person himself, but his son was so filial.
Jianjun is dead and we still have to pay his pension. It's infuriating!
Knowing that they were moving soon, Lu Jiangting said, "Don't bother looking for a new place, just stay at my place for now."
Wang Jianguo: "Your house isn't very big, where can you fit everyone in?"
“We’re planning to move. That house is going to be demolished in the second half of the year, so you can stay there for a few months. Settle down first, and then slowly look for a suitable place.”
"Okay, thank you, Brother Jiang Ting."
Lu Jiangting didn't say anything, and the two went back together.
Wang Zhong knew from the wink his son gave him that the deal was done.
He then got up to say goodbye and returned to the guesthouse with his son.
As soon as they left, Lu Jiangting said, "Dad, I'm not working the day after tomorrow, so let's move."
Lu Cong: "Why are you moving so soon? Didn't we say we'd wait until you got your salary and bought more furniture before moving?"
"There's not much to buy. The plumbing and electrical work is all done. Let's just buy two beds and move in. We already have pots, pans, and all that stuff, so we don't need to buy anything new."
Lu Cong: "..."
Wang Cuilan: "There aren't even any tables or chairs, how are we supposed to eat?"
Lu Jiangting looked conflicted.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's alright, just eat with this for now, and I'll buy more when I get my salary."
Lu Cong frowned as he looked at him without saying a word.
Wang Cuilan didn't understand and said, "Wouldn't it be better to wait until you get your salary, buy all the things, and then move out?"
"Mom, I want to live in a new house. Let's move." He looked at the dilapidated house and said, "I don't want to sleep on the floor anymore, and I don't want to go back to the dormitory so late."
Looking at the injury on his face, Wang Cuilan finally nodded, "That's true! Look at the way you fell, what if you get a scar?"
Lu Jiangting doesn't stay here overnight, but considering he just fell, we can't let him come back late.
Before it got completely dark, Wang Cuilan urged him to leave quickly.
After he left, Lu Cong sighed and said, "Alas! Our son is so foolish."
Wang Cuilan said, "What's wrong with you? You've always praised him for being smart since he was little. Other kids can't even solve a problem by counting their fingers and toes, but he can do it in no time."
Lu Cong rolled his eyes at her and said, "That's just being stubborn and getting stuck on trivial details."
Why is he getting so fixated on something again?
Lu Cong stopped talking, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's get ready to move."
Lu Cong knew perfectly well that his son's problem was impossible to persuade. If he could persuade him, he would have stopped long ago, and things would never have escalated to the point where he and Lin Yuyao broke off their engagement.
Never mind, let's see what that family is up to first.
……
The next day, Lu Jiangting returned early and bought some simple furniture.
He used his money to do a simple renovation of the house, just changing the water and electricity and moving it to a more suitable location, which didn't cost much.
Add a few lights and a few switches, and that's it.
I had to borrow money to buy the bed today. I had just said I wouldn't borrow money from Liu Anguo, but I ended up borrowing money from him today.
Liu Anguo felt sorry for him and since the amount he was borrowing was not large, he agreed.
If you're unwilling to spend money, you naturally won't be able to buy any good furniture.
But at least there's a bed now, right?
The furniture was taken care of on the second day, and the move took place on the third day, the weekend. Liu Anguo even came over to help.
Lu Jiangting borrowed a large flatbed cart from his neighbor, and the whole family packed their luggage and put it on the cart.
Fang Qing helped push the old man, while Lu Jiangting and Liu Anguo pulled the cart.
One person was responsible for pulling, and the other for supporting.
As soon as I stepped out of the alley, I saw Wang Jianguo.
"Brother Jiang Ting, are you moving?"
"Yes, there's another trip in a bit, it'll be done soon."
Wang Jianguo's mind raced, and he quickly stepped forward to take over the work.
"Brother Jiang Ting, let me help you."
"No need, no need, we have enough manpower."
“It’s alright. I may not have much else, but I have plenty of strength. Let me do it. I’m more stable than you at pulling the cart.”
Wang Jianguo insisted on taking that job away from him.
Lu Jiangting felt a sense of relief.
Since Wang Jianguo had gone to help him pull the cart, he took over Fang Qing's job and pushed his father.
Then he said to Fang Qing, "Go back and carry the quilt."
Fang Qing: "Didn't you say you'd be back in a bit?"
Lu Jiangting frowned, thinking to himself, "You can't possibly come along empty-handed, can you?"
"Then take whatever you can, so the cart won't be full later."
Seeing that his expression was off, Fang Qing reluctantly went back.
After looking around for a while, I picked up the kettle.
Then I thought that taking too little would make me get scolded again, so after thinking it over, I took the broom and dustpan instead.
This means you won't be empty-handed.
After you've got your things, hurry up and catch up with the rest of the group.
They haven't been treating her well lately, and no one has told her where her new home is; she doesn't dare ask.
If I lose my way, I won't know where to go for a while.
My new home is also nearby, not far, only two or three miles away.
For someone who grew up in the mountains, two or three miles is nothing; they arrived in no time.
Fortunately, Fang Qing caught up with him.
After putting his things down, Wang Jianguo began to look around the house.
"Brother Jiang Ting, is this an apartment building?"
Speaking of the new house, Lu Jiangting was still very happy. "Yes, the houses in this community were all allocated to people from our unit. Did you see the security guards at the gate? They're not ordinary security guards. After everyone moves in, any visitors will have to register."
Wang Jianguo was puzzled, thinking to himself, "Why is this different from what I expected?"
"This house..." He didn't dare ask if it was a benefit given by his brother, after all, achieving his goal without causing a scene was the best outcome.
"It's not easy to carry, is it?" Wang Jianguo said tactfully.
Lu Jiangting nodded. "It's not easy to carry."
He didn't say anything more, he just kept unloading the cargo.
Wang Jianguo wanted to know how difficult it was to obtain, and he wanted to know if it had anything to do with his brother.
Liu Anguo, who was standing next to him, said, "Well, everyone is eligible for housing, but there are more people than houses, and it takes time to build houses, right? So we have to wait."
Wang Jianguo nodded, staring at Liu Anguo as he continued to ask for the next part of the story.
