Chapter 146 Educating My Younger Sister
"Haha, Director Wang is quick on the job, he got the house back!"
Chang Kun laughed after hearing this and decided to settle down in the East Second Ring Road. It was a detached house with four rooms.
In later generations, this was simply unthinkable.
"Did they steal the house?" Chang Dashan's eyes widened.
I knew housing was hard to find in the city, but I never imagined you had to fight for it to get one.
"Dad, what do you think! That's the East Second Ring Road. Countless eyes are watching this entire courtyard."
"What Second Ring Road? And the whole compound?" Chang Dashan was dumbfounded.
"Uh...it's in Nanluoguxiang, a detached house with four rooms, all of which were given to our family!"
Upon hearing this, Chang Dashan stood there stunned.
He was no longer the clueless farmer he used to be. Lately, he often heard his colleagues at the police station complaining about how cramped their homes were, how far they had to commute to work, and all sorts of inconveniences.
When asked why they didn't look for a bigger house closer to home, they all shook their heads and said that Chang Dashan, who still lives in the countryside, simply doesn't understand how difficult it is to find housing in the city.
To get a satisfactory apartment, you need to pull strings and do favors.
Now, his son Chang Kun claims that the house he was assigned to is in Nanluoguxiang, not far from the police station, and that it has four rooms and is a detached house.
If it weren't for his son's recent growth and increased abilities, he would have really wanted to ask his son if he was delirious from a fever!
"Damn it! Liu Meifen! Come out here!"
Chang Dashan's lips trembled, and his eyes reddened slightly. From his grandparents to his parents, they had all dreamed of moving to the city. And now, in his generation, that dream had finally come true?!
"What are you yelling about?! Who are you calling Liu Meifen?!"
Liu Meifen rushed out in a few steps, and if she heard correctly, Chang Dashan actually called her by her full name!
The elderly couple only call each other by their full names when they argue.
"I'm so excited, so excited..." Chang Dashan made a gesture of reassurance before quickly delivering the good news.
"My son said we have a house in the city now!"
"Didn't you say that on the way back? It's a dilapidated house, not enough room for the whole family. It's better to live in the countryside..."
Liu Meifen pouted. She didn't care about houses in the city; by then, she wouldn't even have a place to put her laying hens.
"Oh no! It's not one room!"
"Not one room, then two? That's more like it. Xiaoqing and the others are still small, so they can fit in. But it'll be a struggle when they get a little older!"
"Son! Talk to your mother! You interrupted before she finished speaking!"
Chang Kun watched the old couple bickering with amusement before slowly speaking, "Mother, it's not just one or two rooms, it's the whole courtyard. There are four rooms in total. If it's not enough, we can secretly build one or two more ourselves, it won't matter."
"What??"
Liu Meifang felt dizzy and unsteady on her feet.
"Chang Dashan! I feel a little dizzy, help me!"
He reached out and placed his hand on the old man, shaking him a few times before regaining his composure.
She turned to look at her son, then at her husband, and tears streamed down her face.
"Xiao Kun, your grandfather and maternal grandfather both told you before they passed away that you should make your father successful and move the family to the city."
Your father is incompetent; I thought my life would just end like this.
In the end, it was my son who did the right thing, and I'm so happy! Waaah…
Chang Dashan: ?
If you're going to praise your son, please don't belittle me!
"This is wonderful news, we must go to the graves to tell Dad and the others, so they can be happy too."
When the four sisters, Changmei, Qing, Mu, and Xiu, saw that their parents and eldest brother hadn't come in and were crying and laughing in the courtyard, they all ran out to ask what was wrong.
"Big brother! Are we going to live in the city from now on? Can we go to Wangfujing to watch monkey shows every day?"
Chang Qing's eyes widened, gleaming.
"And there are sugar figurines too!" Chang Mu added, licking his lips.
*Smack!*
Liu Meifen slapped the two girls twice on the head. "Your older brother worked so hard to get this house, and all he wants is for you to eat sugar figurines and watch monkey shows??"
"You all must remember how good your eldest brother is. Everything we eat, use, and live in is earned by your eldest brother. Anyone who dares to be ungrateful will have their legs broken!"
The old woman was so happy that she couldn't stop crying, and she scolded the two little girls until they nodded repeatedly.
"Mom, it's late, let's eat."
With the help of their older brother, the two little girls were finally freed.
After Liu Meifen entered the main room, Chang Qing and Chang Mu stuck out their tongues and whispered, "Thank you, big brother."
"Thanks are unnecessary. Learn five new characters every day, don't forget! Anyone who fails to do so will be banned from getting any treats from me!"
The two little girls immediately fell silent. They were very enthusiastic when reading picture books, but when it came to recognizing and writing characters, they complained endlessly.
Chang Qing was about to pretend to act cute.
When she went to see Chang Kun, she put on a stern face: "You two are not children anymore. You both know that your family wasn't well-off before. Now you have plenty to eat and wear. After you go to the city, study hard under Cheng Min. If either of you doesn't study well, all the good food will be confiscated!"
The two little girls pouted, looking a bit unconvinced.
"Did you hear that?!" Chang Kun raised his voice.
"We heard that!" Seeing that their older brother wasn't joking around with them at all, the two little girls got a little scared.
"Big pot...I...heard it too."
Xiao Xiu'er, who was standing to the side, thought that her older brother was playing house with her two older sisters, so she hurriedly ran over and climbed up by clinging to Chang Kun's legs.
Chang Kun chuckled at Chang Xiu's interruption, "Alright, don't just think about watching monkey shows when you go to town. If you don't study well, I won't stop you from getting a beating from me..."
That night, neither Chang Dashan nor Liu Meifen slept well.
They whispered about the past on the east kang (a heated brick bed). Just a few months ago, the family was struggling to make ends meet, but their son had changed so much. Now, the family had enough to eat, a job, and even a courtyard house in the city had been allocated to their family.
In the past, this would have been something I never dared to dream of.
Changqing and Changmu, the two girls, were also fantasizing about wearing headbands and new shoes, and taking firecrackers to the park to show off.
The next morning, Chang Kun was woken up by his father.
"Xiao Kun, get up early and go to Director Wang's office at the neighborhood committee to get things done for him."
Chang Kun glanced at his watch, utterly exasperated: "Dad, it's only a little past four, they haven't even started work yet, what's the rush!"
"I'm not at ease because the house isn't settled yet..."
"Director Wang, they've already contacted you to inform them, so it's definitely been taken care of. Don't worry."
"Stop nagging and get up! How can you sleep on something this important!"
"Sigh—" Chang Kun sighed as he got up. He lingered at home until after five o'clock before his parents urged him repeatedly before he rode his bike to the neighborhood office.
"Good morning, Aunt Wang! Good morning, Sister Wang!"
When they arrived at the subdistrict office, to their surprise, not only was Director Wang there very early, but Wang Cuiqin was also there.
Director Wang is Wang Cuiqin's aunt, and Wang Cuiqin is the sister-in-law of her elder sister Chang Mei. These days, some things are easier to handle as long as there is some family relationship.
Of course, those oddballs who don't acknowledge relatives and only like to show off their credentials are another matter.
"Little Kun is here."
Director Wang stood up and poured tea for Chang Kun.
"Aunt Wang, don't bother, I just finished breakfast and came over." Chang Kun quickly stopped her.
He knew in his heart that when elders and relatives poured tea for younger people, it meant there was something important.
