Reborn 1990: Running towards the life of a housewife

Chapter 6



After eating, Shen Xiaojun took the children to take a nap. After the sun set a little and it was no longer so hot, she took the children home.

When passing by the canteen, the proprietress of the canteen stopped her and said, "Shen Xiaojun, your man called me this morning and asked you to pick her up. Your mother-in-law said you were not at home. Your man asked you to call him back. "

Shen Xiaojun smiled and thanked her. She knew that it must be about money.

Sure enough, as soon as the call was connected, Lin Zhe on the other end said: "I sent the money back. It will arrive in about a week. You can go to the post office to get it then. I still have some finishing work here. I will come back after I finish it." Let’s take care of the house matter after I come back. Just take care of the children and don’t give random orders day after day.”

It sounded fine at first, but then she became a blind leader. Let's just say she can do it!

Damn it!I want to spend all the money before you come back!

Shen Xiaojun was too lazy to talk to him and handed the phone to his two daughters who were standing on tiptoes with faces eager to talk to their father.

"father!"

"When will you come back?"

"I miss you, and so does my sister..."

"Yeah, let's be obedient. ...Okay! ...Yeah..."

"...Bye daddy!"

Lin Wei raised her head and looked at Shen Xiaojun, "Mom, dad asked you if you have anything else to say to him."

Shen Xiaojun: "No. Hang up quickly, it costs money!"

The sisters hung up the phone reluctantly.

Lin Zhe on the other end of the phone: "..."

Heartless woman!

"Hey! Where are you going?" As soon as he arrived at the door, a woman in her thirties came out of the house. Shen Xiaojun recognized it at a glance. This was her second sister-in-law Sun Hui.

Sun Hui is 34-[-] years old, not tall, slightly fat, and not very good looking, but her skin is fair and she looks pretty.

Shen Xiaojun called her second sister-in-law, "I went back to my parents' house."

After entering the house, he looked for a topic and asked, "Why did you come here without bringing the two little ones back?"

Sun Hui finished dusting herself off and said, "Come and bring some firewood to the new house. The two of them are doing homework at her grandpa's house."

Sun Hui and his wife just built a new house last year. The house was built on the side of the road, next to her parents' house.

Although the old house here is no longer inhabitable, the firewood stored in the past is still there, and I come here to get it occasionally.

Zhang Simin and his wife were not at home, they were probably still in the fields.

Because the firewood had just been brought down from upstairs, the dust in the house was a bit heavy. Shen Xiaojun moved a cradle to the yard, put his son in it, and let his two daughters watch as he prepared to cook dinner.

"Second sister-in-law, can you leave after dinner?" Shen Xiaojun asked while rolling up her sleeves.

Sun Hui waved her hand, "No, I have to rush back to serve the three debt collectors at home! Your second brother doesn't know what he is doing every day?"

He complained naggingly, "I can't get home before dinner time. When I asked him, he said he was busy and wanted to open a winery in partnership with someone."

"...I want to get something beautiful, and I don't even think about whether I have money or not. All our savings from working outside over the years have been spent on this house, and there is nothing left with us! Tell me about his weird thoughts every day, I don’t even think about the life behind it. How easy is it to run a winery? Think about it, how much money you have to invest in it!”

"If you ask me, it would be better to work outside and get paid every month. After I have arranged my family, I still have to go out. The two little ones will be watched by my mother. I am too lazy to care about what he wants to do. Already..."

Shen Xiaojun felt like there were thousands of mosquitoes buzzing in his ears!

She, the second sister-in-law, talks a lot!

In his previous life, he also caused trouble because he talked too much, got into a lot of fights, and almost divorced Lin Xu.

Speaking of the disaster, Shen Xiaojun had a flash of inspiration and felt that it was something else, but he couldn't remember it.

Forget it, wait until you remember it. If you can't remember it, it means it's not important.

There is a very important thing now. Don't let Lin Xu and Sun Hui know that Lin Zhe has sent money home. Even the old couple can't tell them. In order to avoid long nights and nightmares, they should go to the city as soon as the remittance order arrives!

……

A week later, Shen Xiaojun received the remittance slip sent back by Lin Zhe.

No more, no less, a total of 4 yuan, which is already a huge amount of money for this year and age.

The town is so small, and the staff at the post office all know each other. For fear of leaking the news, Shen Xiaojun does not dare to delay, and plans to go to the city tomorrow.

As for the children, they definitely couldn’t be taken with them, so they were entrusted to my mother-in-law to take care of them. She tried to go and come back the same day.

Zhang Simin didn't ask much about why she wanted to go to the city, and just told her to go early and come back early.

The county seat and the city are located east and west of Ping'an Town. It takes about an hour to drive from Ping'an Town to the county seat, but to the city, if you don't delay, you can get there in less than two hours.

There is no direct bus to the city, so you have to transfer to another bus or take a train in another big town 20 kilometers away from Pingan Town. Early in the morning, Shen Xiaojun took the earliest bus to the next town.

She was lucky. As soon as she arrived at the station, there was a bus bound for the city ready to leave.

Shen Xiaojun quickly got out of the car and boarded another bus with a wave of his hand.

I found a seat in the car and sat down, paid the fare, hugged the leather bag to my chest, closed my eyes and rested.

I didn't sleep much last night. I was thinking about the house all night.

The shaking of the bus made people want to sleep, but Shen Xiaojun didn't dare to really fall asleep. There was a bankbook in his bag, so he couldn't relax.

Before nine o'clock, the bus entered the city.

Shen Xiaojun did not follow the bus to the station, but got off the bus near the transportation team.

Her eldest brother-in-law Chen Guangyuan works in the transportation team, and his family lives in the transportation team's family compound.

Shen Xiaojun has not been to this family home twice, but the new house they bought later went there more often.

Following the path in his memory, Shen Xiaojun asked as he walked. After walking for more than ten minutes, he arrived at the downstairs of Shen Xiaohua's house.

This is a unit building built in the 70s and 301s. It has only four floors in total, with two households on the first floor. Shen Xiaohua and his family live in Unit [-].

After going upstairs, Shen Xiaojun raised his hand and knocked on the door. After two "dong dong" sounds, voices came from the house, "Coming, coming, who is it?"

With a creak, the door opened from the inside, and Shen Xiaojun tilted her head to greet her with a smile: "Sister, it's me."

Shen Xiaohua's eyes widened in surprise, "Xiaojun! Why are you here? Come on! Come in!"

He reached out and pulled her in: "You too, why don't you call first? What if I'm not at home?"

Shen Xiaojun smiled and said: "I came to the city to do some errands. It would be better if you were at home. If not, I will go alone!"

Shen Xiaojun asked her to sit down and poured her water, "What are you doing here? Why don't you bring the children with you? I haven't seen them for a long time. You can come up here and stay for a few days. It's better to be in the city. It’s fun.”

Shen Xiaojun took the water glass and said, "No, I'll go back today. By the way, I didn't see Xiaoru."

"We went to the Children's Palace, we just left not long ago."

Shen Xiaojun nodded, yes, Xiaoru had learned dance in the Children's Palace since she was a child. When she grew up, she relied on this skill to become a dance teacher, and her life was so easy.

"Sister, please stop being busy." Ever since Shen Xiaojun entered the house, Shen Xiaohua was pouring water, picking up fruits, and walking around the house without stopping.

Shen Xiaohua was still saying at this time: "Have you had breakfast? I'll cook you a bowl of poached eggs."

"Eat, eat."

Shen Xiaohua clapped his hands, "By the way, what are you doing in the city?"

Shen Xiaojun pulled her to sit down, "I'm here to see the house this time."

"Looking at a house? What house are you looking at?"

For most rural people nowadays, those who have money to buy a house in the city instead of building one in the countryside are in the minority.

Therefore, Shen Xiaohua never thought that Shen Xiaojun was here to buy a house.

"I plan to buy a house in the city!"

Shen Xiaohua was shocked, "Buy a house!"

"Yes!" Shen Xiaojun nodded, "I'm not familiar with the city, and I don't know what properties are for sale now, so I just thought you would take me to have a look. If there's something suitable, I'll buy it."

There is another one. It is convenient for two people to go to the bank to withdraw money. After all, it is not a small amount.

The money on the remittance slip will be stored in Shen Xiaojun's bankbook after changing hands. As long as it is not in a different place, it is still convenient to withdraw the money.

Shen Xiaohua suppressed a bunch of questions in his heart, "...Yes, I heard them say it two days ago, saying that there is a newly built building called "West Lake Garden" for sale. The location is very good, close to Little West Lake. , the construction is pretty good, it seems to cost [-] per square meter."
