Chapter 778 Choice
That night, Suning returned home with a large piece of meat from the back seat, which immediately delighted Li Suhua and Zheng Juan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Li Suhua looked at Suning with praise and said, "Bingkun! You've done a great thing for our family. Now we won't be short of meat for the New Year."

"Mom, it seems like you've had plenty of meat to eat in the past two or three years!" Seeing that his mother Li Suhua was so fond of this piece of pork, Suning looked at Li Suhua in front of him with a bit of a smile and said.

"What a bullshit! How can it be the same? It's a pity that your dad and the others can't come back this year, otherwise our family can definitely have a happy New Year." At this time, Li Suhua cursed with a smile, and then said with infinite regret.

"Mom, my brother recently changed to a new unit and must be very busy at work, so I guess my brother will receive fewer letters." Su Ning knew that Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei had a very deep relationship, and guessed that Zhou Bingyi must be very uncomfortable at this time, so he looked at Li Suhua in front of him and gave her some advice in advance.

"Hey! Bingkun, last time I heard Cai Xiaoguang say that your brother broke up with that Hao Dongmei?" As expected, no one knows a son better than his mother. Of course, she also knew what Zhou Bingyi was thinking at the moment. Li Suhua immediately brought up the matter of Hao Dongmei again.

"Not sure! It seems like this."

"Look at you! As a younger brother, you don't even know how to ask." Seeing his little son in front of him not knowing anything, Li Suhua completely went crazy.

"Mom, have you forgotten what my dad said before he left last time? Didn't he warn me not to ask about my brother and sister's affairs?" Su Ning has now let go of many things, and he would rather not ask about Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong's affairs if he can.

"Hey! How come I didn't realize you were so obedient?" Li Suhua couldn't help but say sarcastically. She thought her youngest son was still angry.

"Mom, my brother has always been very strong-willed and self-respecting. He and Zhou Rong are really not the same type of people, so it's better for us to not interfere in his affairs."

"Oh! Children grow up and are no longer under the control of their mothers! No one can control me now, especially you, this old troublemaker who is the most annoying." Li Suhua also agreed with his youngest son's point of view, and could only look at him with helpless complaint.

"hey-hey."

Soon Li Suhua decided to let Zheng Juan bring some pork to the Zheng family in Taiping Hutong. Suning also took out some other gifts and sent them to Taiping Hutong. In this way, both the Zhou and Zheng families could have a peaceful and happy New Year. Zheng's mother and Guangming were so happy to see so many good things, and they were both pleased with Zheng Juan's happiness.

Soon, Qiao Chunyan's mother brought back good news to Suning. The neighbor on Suning's left agreed to exchange the house with Suning, but the asking price was only two hundred yuan. You know, two hundred yuan is not a small amount in that era. In the end, Qiao Chunyan's mother helped to bargain down the price to one hundred and eighty yuan. However, when signing the contract with the neighbor, Suning still gave the neighbor two hundred yuan directly.

"Bingkun, the price I negotiated with your Aunt Qiao was one hundred and eighty yuan. You gave a bit too much." Ordinary people nowadays are still very simple and honest. Seeing that Suning gave too much, he immediately explained.

"Uncle Song, it is said that a poor family is rich on the road. Just keep these twenty yuan for you and your aunt as travel expenses." Su Ning smiled nonchalantly. Sometimes these twenty yuan can really make a big difference.

"Bingkun, you are really becoming more and more kind and righteous." Uncle Song said to Su Ning in front of him, deeply moved.

"Uncle Song, please bring Aunt and the others back to Photon Film when you have time. Maybe one day our Photon Film will have changes." Seeing that the exchange agreement had been signed, Suning smiled and looked at Uncle Song in front of him and said.

"Change? It's been like this before the founding of the People's Republic of China. I think it will be difficult for Photon Film to be transformed!" Uncle Song shook his head disapprovingly, feeling that Photon Film was just a shantytown with no similarities.

"."

Immediately afterwards, Suning and his neighbor Uncle Song completed all the exchange procedures. They only needed to ask Qiao Chunyan's mother to submit it to the street for registration. This time there was no disgusting matter between the original owner and the sub-landlord. You know, everyone has been an old neighbor of Photon Film for many years, and the extra twenty yuan given by Suning left Uncle Song speechless.

"Bingkun, you gave me too much money just now. I paid you back one hundred and eighty yuan." On the way home, Aunt Qiao complained to Suning a little. Twenty yuan is a young man's monthly salary.

"Aunt Qiao, I'm using the money to shut up Uncle Song's family so that we don't have to argue back and forth in the future. If you hadn't helped me bargain, I might have just given them two hundred and twenty." Su Ning explained his thoughts with a smile. Sometimes you have to think about troubles in advance.

"Bingkun, you are worrying too much. What you worry about will never happen." Qiao Chunyan's mother shook her head disapprovingly. No one wanted to stay in this shabby place, Photon Film.

"Aunt Qiao, it's up to you now. Only after reporting to the street office will this exchange agreement become legal and valid." Suning also knew that it was important to report to the street office, so he smiled and said to Aunt Qiao beside him.

"Don't worry! This is nothing."

"By the way! I heard that Chunyan is now the deputy director of the public bath?" Thinking that Qiao Chunyan had recently been promoted in the public bath, an idea of great news suddenly came to his mind.

"Haha, yes! I heard that she is valued by a senior leader." At this time, Qiao Chunyan's mother couldn't help but show a proud expression. She was so proud of her little daughter.

"Aunt, there is a good thing happening now. If I succeed, I might become Chunyan's success."

"Oh? What's that?" Qiao Chunyan's mother immediately became excited when she heard that it would help Qiao Chunyan's career. "Auntie, when I was selling buns, I met a big shot. He has a lot of building materials. You and Chunyan can go to every neighbor in Photon Block and ask if anyone is willing to build a house together. I can help find building materials below market price. Every household in Photon Block has a ready-made labor force. We can completely renovate Photon Block ourselves, standardize the construction area of each household, reject all illegal construction, unify the planning of sewers and toilets, and build cement roads together. Moreover, each household can build a two-story Western-style house based on the actual area of their own house. When the educated youth return home in the future, they will not be without a place to live."

"Bingkun, can you really get some low-priced building materials?" Upon hearing what Suning said about such a good thing, the smart mother Qiao couldn't help but get excited.

"Sure! Because they're all unplanned, low-priced clearance items, the price seems to be only 80% of the market price. But we need to order a larger quantity. After all, they also want to make a small profit but sell a lot, just like when we sold pork a few days ago."

"Bingkun, is this supplier reliable? Reselling is not popular nowadays!" Although Qiao Chunyan's mother knew that this was a good thing, she was still worried that Suning would make a principled mistake. You know, Suning is very courageous.

"The procedures are complete! It seems that they are excess building materials from a large state-owned enterprise. I guess their factory can't use them, so they want to exchange them outside the plan." Even when Qiao Chunyan's mother was worried about something, Su Ning explained with a smile.

"Okay! Then Chunyan and I will go to each family to ask." Since Suning has considered all the aspects, Aunt Qiao has no reason to refuse.

"Aunt Qiao, you'd better hurry up. I'll have to start construction as soon as the spring thaw arrives. I also need to contact the other party in advance for construction materials. After all, these construction materials are still in short supply."

"Bingkun, don't worry. I'll reply to you the day after tomorrow at the latest. I won't let you down."

Qiao Chunyan's mother became excited at this moment and immediately ran back home. When she saw her daughter and son-in-law, she began to explain, "Chunyan, this is a great opportunity. Your boss will definitely value you more in the future."

"Mom, I don't really want to take the lead in this?" Qiao Chunyan was not as happy as her mother thought. Instead, she was a little unenthusiastic.

"Ah? Are you still worried that Zhou Bingkun will harm us?" Qiao Chunyan's mother looked at Qiao Chunyan in surprise, and found it difficult to understand Qiao Chunyan's cold attitude.

"That's not the case! The main reason is that no one has housing pressure now. For example, my two sisters are both educated youth in the countryside. Why build so many houses? The neighbors in Photon Film have long been accustomed to repairs. Do you see anyone rebuilding their house?" At this time, Qiao Chunyan certainly had her own set of opinions. She did not think that anyone in Photon Film was willing to spend money to rebuild their house. She would rather wait for the renovation of the street and higher-level units.

"Well, that's true! But Bingkun said that this batch of building materials is lower than the market price, almost 80% of the market price. Under normal circumstances, you can't buy it even if you want to!" Although she thought her daughter Qiao Chunyan's words made sense, Qiao's mother was still reluctant to give up this good opportunity.

"Mom, another reason is that I'm really worried about Zhou Bingkun. Who would dare to apply for a personal business license from the street office and be in charge of a state-owned bun shop alone? If he causes trouble, I'm worried that it will fall on our Qiao family." Since marrying Cao Debao, Qiao Chunyan's mentality has changed.

"Yan'er, after hearing what you said, it seems to be true!" At this time, Qiao Chunyan's mother also agreed with it. It was really that Suning did things without considering the consequences.

"Mom, this is what they call the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; the more you do, the more mistakes you make; and doing nothing means no mistakes." Seeing that she had finally convinced her mother, Qiao Chunyan said proudly.

"Okay then! I'll tell Bingkun that no one wants to renovate the house, so let him mess around there."

"Mom, you'd better go ask a few companies. I'm sure no one is willing to build it."

"."

Next, Qiao Chunyan's mother did follow her daughter's advice and asked several neighbors. Everyone showed a disdainful smile in unison. No one in Photon Film was willing to renovate the house. Those who were capable had already found a way to leave this place. After all, as long as they thought of a way, they could wait for the unit to allocate houses. In the end, even Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing had no interest at all. After all, housing pressure was not the dilemma they were facing now.

When Suning heard the response from Qiao Chunyan's mother, he was really shocked. You know, building a house only involves two parts: building materials and labor costs. Now building materials can be obtained at the lowest price in the market, and labor can be solved by oneself. However, such a good thing is sneered at by everyone. Maybe they are still waiting for the street to take the lead in transforming the photon chip so that they don't have to spend a penny.

The reason why Suning proposed to Qiao Chunyan's mother that they build houses on their own was because the living conditions in the Photon Film were too bad. There was only one public toilet in the residential area of more than a thousand households. The ground was muddy after the snow melted in spring and after rain. Every household needed rubber shoes to go out. Therefore, Suning always felt that it was not meaningful to renovate the houses of each household, and the overall environment was a more important element.

In addition, Photon Film was the most peaceful and prosperous in the 1970s and 1980s. Every household had a glorious working class. At the same time, the neighbors in Photon Film had the least pressure. After all, every household had a certain salary that was guaranteed to be paid regardless of drought or flood. If every family took out two or three hundred yuan to buy cheap building materials, they could completely rebuild a beautiful house. If it was planned in a unified way, it would be the true rebirth of Photon Film in Tongle District.

Although Suning was puzzled by the choice of the Photon Chip's neighbors and knew that this might be their only chance to independently transform the Photon Chip, Suning respected their neighbors' right to choose more, so he no longer mentioned this matter to anyone.

The Zhou family has only two houses of the same size, and both are about 20 square meters. If the vacant courtyard in front is added, the total area can probably reach more than 100 square meters. If all the houses are built, they must be two-story, but they are too conspicuous in the entire barren photon film. Now after "exchanging" the house of the neighbor Uncle Song, the building area immediately reaches more than 200 square meters. So this time Suning plans to build the most common one-story house in Northeast China, or the Russian-style flat villa that makes the most use of land resources.

There are many key reasons why people in Northeast China like to build one-story houses. The most important one is that the weather in Northeast China is very cold, and a one-story house is suitable for daily warmth. You can also build a big Northeast kang at home, and the whole family feels very comfortable and cozy sleeping on the warm kang.
