Chapter 112: Wooden Prospers in the Forest (1)

Liu Ben went to the town family planning office to hand over the fine. Even if the matter was completely completed, Liu Kun specially reported the resolution and the result to Zhao Yongsheng. "No matter how big or small the matter is, we will report to the leaders." This is one of the important experiences summarized by the senior seniors of the county government office. When he came to Qinglin Town, he fully utilized this experience. Facts proved that this experience is still effective in townships. At least Zhao Yongsheng likes the report work of his subordinates.

Three days later, at the Qinglin Town Party and Government Office Meeting, Zhao Yongsheng specially praised Liu Kun.

"Some comrades think that young people are not reliable in their work, but I think young people are motivated and able to accomplish great things. Liu Kun is in charge of family planning. He can withstand the pressure and properly solve Liu Ben's wife's affairs. The things are done well."

"In addition, the deposit for Shangqinglin Stone Field was also collected in time. These two things show that Comrade Liu Kun has the ability to do his job well."

Zhao Yongsheng praised Liu Kun for being targeted. When arranging Liu Kun's work, Su Ming had different opinions. He believed that the two tasks of family planning and enterprise management were relatively complicated, and involved large amounts of income. If the management was not good, the town would be very passive. It was suggested that the old comrades should take charge of these two tasks in detail, and Liu Kun only assisted in the company.

Of course, the personnel issues were finally decided by Zhao Yongsheng, and Liu Kun took over Chao Jie's work in full. Facts have proved that township management work is not high-end science and technology. As long as you have a certain level of culture and level, as long as you are willing to do things, most of them can win. With the full support of Secretary Zhao Yongsheng, Liu Kun gradually became familiar with the situation and established a foothold in Qinglin Town. All work was carried out according to the plan at the beginning of the year, steadily and step by step, without major achievements, and no obvious mistakes.

Hou Weidong was stationed in Qinglin Mountain and had no interest in the political game of the Qinglin Town Government. After all, the Qinglin Town Government has been fighting for the future and has been at most a full-time department level. He only earned six or seven hundred yuan in salary. For Hou Weidong, who has already opened his horizons, this is no longer tempting.

By the end of September 1995, the main project of Yiwu Road had been completed. Chief Gao of the Finance Department of the Transportation Bureau had already received instructions and received Hou Weidong's red envelopes and paid Hou Weidong's materials in a timely and accurate manner according to the progress. In this way, the number on Hou Weidong's account increased by month, reaching nearly 1.5 million, and the Dabang Stoneyard also brought more than 600,000 yuan in income to Zeng Zhaoqiang and Zhu Bing.

Two years ago, even though he was dreaming during the day, Hou Weidong did not dare to expect such a huge sum of money.

The biggest benefit is financial freedom, which can accomplish things that were difficult to reach the sky before. On National Day, Hou Weidong came to Yiyang City in a truck loading gravel. He took 50,000 yuan from ICBC, took another taxi, and went straight to Shazhou.

The eldest brother Hou Weiguo was officially transferred to the Criminal Police Detachment of Shazhou Public Security Bureau. Since the Shazhou Public Security Bureau had just started to raise funds to build a house, the next time he raised funds to build a house, Hou Weiguo was in love with Jiang Chu of Wuhai County High School. It was too inconvenient to live in a collective dormitory, so he was eager to buy a new house. He got married after buying a house, but the salary of the Public Security Bureau was not high. He has always been generous with money. He has not had much savings for many years. He told his third brother Hou Weidong about borrowing money to buy a house. Hou Weidong agreed without hesitation.

Hou Weidong took advantage of the National Day to go to Shazhou. He first came to give money to his elder brother Hou Weiguo, and secondly, he also took a look at his and Xiaojia's new house.

The road from Shazhou to Yiyang has been fully opened to traffic. It turned out that it was three hours away and the taxi took less than two hours. He called his elder brother Weiguo at the entrance of the Shazhou Municipal Public Security Bureau with his newly purchased Motorola mobile phone. After a while, his elder brother Hou Weiguo appeared at the door.

"I brought 50,000 yuan. Is it enough? Is it not enough? I will take it again."

The housing price in Shazhou is only more than 800 per square meter. The house that Hou Weiguo likes is 110 square meters, and the total housing price is only 88,000 yuan. He and Jiang Chu raised nearly 40,000 yuan, but they could no longer afford the remaining money.

Hou Weiguo had short hair and was very energetic. He smiled and said, "This 50,000 yuan is the first thing I can do is to make it clear. I can't pay it back to you within two years." Hou Weidong curled his lips and said, "Brother, it's only 50,000 yuan. You don't need to pay it back. Just treat it as the wedding gift I gave you. How much does it cost to decorate, just talk."

Hou Weiguo knew that the third brother had really made a fortune. He patted his third brother Weidong on the shoulder and said, "When you were assigned to Qinglin Town, my mother was worried that you had a low salary and could not afford a house in the city in the future. Unexpectedly, my third brother became the richest local rich man in our family, more powerful than my brother-in-law. I might as well quit and work for you. How much do you pay me a month?"

The office building of Shazhou Public Security Bureau is tall and mighty, looking at the streets and alleys of Shazhou. Working inside, it has a strong sense of pride and is respected in society.

Hou Weidong knew that his elder brother couldn't bear to give up this profession, so he joked: "I'll give you the stone yard and I'll come to work at the Public Security Bureau. Would you like it?"

Hou Weiguo has been a police officer for many years and never thought of leaving the police force. He said, "People are like insects. It is destined to drill any insect into that wood. I should live a hard life in a police uniform."

The two brothers jokingly said a few times, Hou Weiguo looked at his watch and said, "Wait a while to Tingyuexuan, you give the money directly to your sister-in-law. I never care about the money at home."

Hou Weidong called Xiaojia again and said, "Xiaojia, I have already arrived at the Public Security Bureau building. I am about to arrive at Tingyuexuan and send the money to my sister-in-law Jiang Chu. When will you come here?"

Xiaojia said in embarrassment: "Honey, Mayor Bu is investigating our Construction Committee. He arranged it at the Shazhou Hotel at noon. I have to be responsible for the logistics, and I am afraid I can't leave." She said happily: "Don't be angry, I will tell you a good thing. I have received the key to the door of the Xinyue Building this morning. You can go to see the new house in the evening. There is another thing. Since the key to the house has been obtained, I want to show off with my parents. It is not a solution to hide it from coaxing it."

Hou Weidong was full of confidence and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son? I'll see my father-in-law and mother-in-law tonight."

After calling, the car had arrived at Tingyuexuan, which was a three-story building. The ground floor was a large dining room, the second floor was a private room, and the third floor was a tea room. The wife of Deputy Captain Chen of the Criminal Police Detachment was the boss, so Tingyuexuan became the off-staff guesthouse of the Criminal Police Detachment.

Hou Weiguo went up the second floor. After a while, a graceful young woman came over. She wore a cheongsam and a thick towel outside. She said intimately: "Hou Squadron, how many people are today?"

"Sister-in-law. Today I want the small room of six people, all of whom are from the family." Hou Weiguo introduced: "My third brother Hou Weidong, this is General Jin."

President Jin waved, and a young man who looked like a foreman ran over. She arranged: "Today, Hou Squadron invited his family to dinner, and he asked for a special discount, with a 60% discount."

The two brothers entered the house, the waiter poured the tea, and then took the recipe. Hou Weidong took the initiative to cook and said, "Brother, don't argue with me about ordering food. Today I'll do it."

Hou Weiguo took a sip of tea very comfortably and said, "I will accept it with my third brother."

After chatting for a few words, Jiang Chu came in. Hou Weidong took out 50,000 yuan and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be anxious. This is 50,000 yuan in cash. You can buy a house with it."

Jiang Chu took a heavy bag of money. Her gratitude was as real as the amount of money, and said, "Third brother. You really rained in time, otherwise we would really not be able to afford this house." Jiang Chu is a teacher in a key middle school and learns Chinese language. He has been talking about boxing and hitting Zhenguanxi these days. By the way, he rereads "Water Margin" again, so the language of Water Margin is revealed.

"But, your brother and I don't have much savings. We have to decorate the house after we get it. We won't pay back the money in the past two years."

Jiang Chuwenjing, Hou Weiguo is capable, Hou Weidong likes this sister-in-law very much, and always feels that his brother and sister-in-law are really good at classmates. He said happily: "Sister-in-law, I told my elder brother just now that this 50,000 yuan is the wedding gift that Xiaojia and I gave you, so you don't have to pay it back."

Jiang Chu is in Wuhai County Middle School, a key middle school. The teacher's salary is slightly higher than that of ordinary government officials. She can get more than 800 yuan a month with the class fee. The couple adds up to more than 1,500 yuan, and saves 500 yuan a month. The 50,000 yuan a month. She has to save this for nearly ten years. She has calculated this account every day. Every time she calculates, the pressure in her heart is one pound. Hou Weiguo has long concluded that his third brother Hou Weidong must have "send" money instead of "borrowing" money. Jiang Chu still firmly doesn't believe it. Now that he hears Hou Weidong saying this, he believes it.

Her eyes turned red and she said, "Third brother, you are such a good brother."

Seeing that Jiang Chu was so serious, Hou Weidong said sincerely: "When I was a child, I liked fighting. After losing, my brother would come to help me fight. This little money would be considered as the thug fee I hired back then."

Jiang Chu smiled and wiped his eyes with the back of his hands, saying, "My third brother has bought a house, when will it be delivered? It is best if our two families live closer. It is more convenient to walk on holidays."

Xiaojia was the one who was buying a house in Shazhou. Hou Weidong only knew what house he bought not long ago. He said: "We have already obtained the house, which is the Crescent Building on Niulan Street."

Niulan Street is considered a prime location in Shazhou. Crescent Building was developed by Yuanjing Company and is the first community-style building in Shazhou. It is said that it adopts the most advanced management model in the country. Crescent Building launched a publicity offensive in Shazhou, and the housing prices were the first to exceed 1,000 yuan per square meter. Jiang Chu went to Shazhou to choose houses everywhere, so he naturally knew the name of Crescent Building.

At this point, Jiang Chu could only breathe in a cold air and exclaimed. She was assigned to a middle school after graduating from university and rarely came into contact with the outside world. She thought that two people would be well-off even if they cost more than 1,000 yuan. She never expected that her third brother Hou Weidong could buy expensive houses in Shazhou for more than two years. This fact made her a little dizzy.

After the dishes were served, everyone ate and chatted. Now the two families have a common problem, that is, the problem of separation between the two places cannot be solved. Speaking of this problem, Hou Weidong remembered the three-year agreement, and he said: "Xiaojia has been moving, but the unit is not high or low, and it has not been implemented yet."

Jiang Chu tasted enough the difficulty of lacking money and said, "Why are you transferred to Shazhou to do if you make money like this in the township? If I were Xiaojia, I would have worked hard for a few years to make you earn more money and your life will be better in the future."

After dinner, Hou Weiguo returned to work in the bureau. Hou Weidong accompanied Jiang Chu to pay the house. Jiang Chu's house was not bad. Although the location was not as good as the Crescent Tower, it was close to the Public Security Bureau. Behind the house, leaning against Shazhou Park, and by opening the window, you could see the green trees in the park and breathe the fresh air in the park for free.

After paying the house, Jiang Chu seemed to have accomplished a major event in his life. So he dragged Hou Weidong to transfer to the store. After a while, the two of them moved to the construction materials and then went to Shazhou Department Store. Jiang Chu took a fancy to a set of clothes worth more than 300 yuan, and despite Hou Weidong's stop, he bought it and gave it to Xiaojia.

The two of them did nothing to go until after four o'clock in the afternoon. Xiaojia finally called: "I took a leave and got off work early, so we will meet in the New Moon Tower."

Jiang Chu was very interested in the Crescent Tower, so she followed Hou Weidong to the Crescent Tower. Xiaojia wore a small black suit, which was charming in a neat way. Waiting at the entrance of the Crescent Tower, he took the clothes handed over by Jiang Chu. Xiaojia opened them and looked at them, and said a little exaggeratedly: "My sister-in-law has a good vision. This dress is tasteful, I like it."

The two sisters-in-law went upstairs intimately.

The new house is on the fourth floor, more than 130 square meters, with good money and reasonable design. Hou Weidong saw two bathrooms and said, "This design is inexplicable. We only have two people, but we actually made two bathrooms. It's too wasteful. Let's divide the labor. The bathroom outside is mine. In the future, if you want to use the one outside, I will charge 50 cents every time."

"Old-to-dollar." Xiaojia pinched Hou Weidong and said, "That's it. I'll take care of the bathroom inside. I will charge a fee when I get up at night. But my salary will be doubled at night, and I will charge one dollar once."

The two began to look forward to a happy life in the future. Jiang Chu was also immersed in love and could understand the couple's feelings very well. She said: "Tonight, I will still be listening to Yuexuan. Wei Guo and I invite you couples to come. We must come and don't rush to pay the bill. I will take a step first and find a teaching assistant at the bookstore."

After Jiang Chu left, Xiaojia flew over to Hou Weidong and said happily: "Honey, we both finally have a home." Hou Weidong said proudly: "This is our small nest, spend another 100,000 yuan to decorate it well." Xiaojia leaned into Hou Weidong's arms and said: "If you want to buy a full set of home appliances, you need to buy a VD, a 29-inch TV, a fully automatic washing machine, a hot and cold air conditioner, and a full set of wooden floors."

The door to happiness seemed to be opened like this.

Hou Weidong put his hand into Xiaojia's clothes, stroking Xiaojia's delicate skin violently, and pulled off the bra without hesitation. Xiaojia was also inferior. She pulled Hou Weidong's clothes out of the belt and pressed her face against her extremely hot chest.

After stroking each other for a while, Hou Weidong looked around for a while. With the ability to find the best geographical location in college, he brought Xiaojia to the bathroom where the cement was still the most concrete, and then he used a standing style. The two of them went crazy once enthusiastically.

After the passion, Xiaojia snuggled up to Hou Weidong and said, "I had dinner today. You followed me home. Although your work has not been solved, our house has been solved. In two years, with your efforts, we have a home in Shazhou. My husband, thinking about you building a stone yard alone in Shangqinglin, I want to cry. I did not misunderstand the person, my husband is trustworthy."

Hou Weidong held Xiaojia's smooth and slender waist with his hands, full of confidence and happiness.

When they arrived at Tingyuexuan, General Manager Jin heard that Xiaojia was the deputy director of the Construction Committee Office, and was even more enthusiastic, and said, "Director Zhang, this is my business card. If you have any customers in the future, you will enjoy a 50% discount when you come to me in person."

When Xiaojia was looking at the business card, Hou Weiguo introduced: "Xiaojia, Jin Zhengchen's wife."

The Chen Detachment had helped the Construction Committee solve the case. Xiaojia dealt with him many times. Xiaojia said enthusiastically: "It turned out to be my sister-in-law. Last year, the Finance Department of the Construction Committee was stolen. The Chen Detachment led the team himself and solved the case in five days. Mayor Bu was still the director of the Construction Committee. He didn't expect that the case would be solved so soon, so he set up a table in the Shazhou Hotel." Xiaojia covered his mouth and smiled: "The Chen Detachment got drunk that day."

Mr. Jin said, "Ha, he came back from the Shazhou Hotel that day and vomited all over the house. It smelled smelly for more than ten days and could not be washed clean no matter what. It was originally your good things."

Mr. Jin and Xiaojia had a speculative conversation, so Mr. Jin signed the order for supper. Mr. Jin made a good plan and the Construction Committee was rich and generous. Xiaojia was the deputy director of the office. If you bring some business here, you will make a lot more profitable.

While the two brothers of the Hou family were chatting and laughing, they were as quiet as usual at Xiaojia's house.

Chen Qingrong and Zhang Yuanzheng had dinner and sat watching TV. Chen Qingrong's eyes jumped a few times. She said to Zhang Yuanzheng: "I'm so nervous that I always feel that something is going to happen." Zhang Yuanzheng leaned on the sofa and said: "Don't think too much, it must have been because I didn't sleep well last night." Chen Qingrong sighed: "Xiaojia, a child, has a very stubborn temper. She doesn't want to break up with Hou Weidong, so we can only watch."

With her daughter's career going well, her marriage became Chen Qingrong's most worried thing.

Zhang Yuanzheng advised: "Xiaojia is a child who is very energetic. Even if she believes that nine oxen cannot be brought back, just like when you were young, we should not worry too much. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Hou Weidong is also good. If we can really transfer back to Shazhou, we should not stop it."

"We are not crazy people, he can really be transferred to Shazhou. Why do we stop us?" Chen Qingrong said in distracted again: "I heard from General Manager Liu that our factory is about to fail. If we are laid off, what should we do? If we rely on Xiaojia alone, she will be under too much pressure."

While they were talking, Hou Weidong and Zhang Xiaojia had already appeared in front of the old lady of the neighborhood committee. Xiaojia took Hou Weidong's arm openly and greeted him while walking, "Aunt Yang, you want to play. This is my boyfriend Hou Weidong. Aunt Wang, this is my boyfriend Hou Weidong."

These neighborhood ladies looked at the two men with great enthusiasm. When they entered the door, they immediately started to discuss fiercely, and the family was in trouble. It was the business scope of the neighborhood committee.

When Hou Weidong's dark face appeared in front of Chen Qingrong and Zhang Yuanzheng, Chen Qingrong was stunned for a while before recognizing that the person in front of him was Hou Weidong who gave them a headache.

Hou Weidong appeared here and was already fully prepared for his mentality. He took the initiative to greet him: "Hello Aunt Chen. Long time no see, I am Hou Weidong."

Zhang Yuanzheng walked away from the door. He had not seen Hou Weidong for two years. Facing the black man at the door, like Chen Qingrong, he completely overlapped the gentle young man two years ago with the current black man.

"Can we let us come in and talk?" Hou Weidong asked politely.

After two years, too much anger was removed from her. Chen Qingrong glared at Xiaojia fiercely and said, "Come in."

Everything in the room is still the same. Hou Weidong still remembers that they used to touch the door of the inner room tragically, traveling back to the old place, people and things are still the same, but the situation has changed.

Chen Qingrong stared at Hou Weidong with a stern look and asked directly: "In 1993, you promised me to transfer back to Shazhou in three years. Today you came home to indicate that you have been transferred back to Shazhou?"

Hou Weidong shook his head calmly and said, "No, I am still working in the Qinglin Town Government of Yiyang County, but I can be considered returning to Shazhou."

Chen Qingrong stared at Hou Weidong and asked, "I'm back to Shazhou, Hou Weidong, what do you mean by saying that." Hou Weidong took out a set of keys and said, "This is the key to Room 2 on the fourth floor of Unit 1, Crescent Building. Xiaojia and I have bought a house in Shazhou."

Zhang Yuanzheng asked: "You can afford the house in Xinyue Building?" Zhang Xiaojia said proudly: "Weidong opened a stone yard in Yiyang Qinglin Town and made a lot of money. We have already bought a house and are ready to get married after the renovation is completed."

Chen Qingrong and Zhang Yuanzheng looked at each other. The house in Xinyuelou is in the best location in Shazhou. The current market price is over 1,000 yuan. To buy a house, it must be at least 100,000 yuan. With the cost of decoration, it will cost 170,000 to 180,000 yuan. For the working class, this is a huge sum of money that cannot be paid. The couple worked all their lives and saved hard, but they only had more than 40,000 yuan in savings. It was beyond expectations that Hou Weidong could make so much money in two years.

Seeing that her parents were a little suspicious, Xiaojia said, "The house was obtained today. Seeing is true, hearing is false, so I will go to see the house now."

Zhang Yuanzheng raised his neck and said, "What's the good house? I won't go." Chen Qingrong hesitated for a moment and said, "It is for Xiaojia's happiness to oppose Hou Weidong and Xiaojia's love. If Hou Weidong is really rich, it can bring happiness to Xiaojia. What reason do we have to oppose them?" Thinking of this, Chen Qingrong stopped Zhang Yuanzheng with his eyes and said to his daughter Xiaojia: "Since you bought a house, this is a good thing, let's take a look."

Hou Weidong was secretly happy. As long as Chen Qingrong and Zhang Yuanzheng agreed to go to see the house, the matter was halfway. Sure enough, when the four people successfully entered the Crescent Tower, the 130-square-meter house was a living example, proving Hou Weidong's diligence, intelligence and strength.

Chen Qingrong's eyes shining and thought to herself: "Xiaojia is really lucky and has a good job. Although her partner is Yi Yang, she is rich and not bad."

Chen Qingrong and Zhang Yuanzheng entered the master bedroom, and saw that Hou Weidong and Xiaojia did not follow him. Zhang Yuanzheng sincerely praised: "Hou Weidong is really capable. In two years, he made a big house. Xiaojia just said that he opened a stone yard. Can he find so much money to open a stone yard?" He and Chen Qingrong both worked in the company. He knew the hard work of making money, and knew more clearly about Hou Weidong's achievements than Xiaojia. This praise comes from the heart.

Chen Qingrong didn't speak for a long time.

Zhang Yuanzheng said, "Old woman, what do you think of this?" Chen Qingrong said, "They even bought a house, it is obvious that they want to get married. What can we do when we are parents? After all, those who are parents cannot stubborn."
To be continued...
