Chapter 192 Returning to the Comfort Zone
They are going to Luo Hui's house.

It's not an RV home parked next to a public toilet, but a real home made of reinforced concrete that can protect against wind and rain.

Luo Hui successfully bought a house in his fifth year of work.The money to buy the house was saved by him and Mu Qingxin.Mu Qing, who works in the financial industry, even contributed more than half of the down payment.

Fortunately, they have a good relationship and their family backgrounds are similar.They have no family to count on, only each other can support them, so they don't care who pays more.

New home bought in Huaqiao.

Huaqiao does not belong to Shanghai.

But Luo Hui and Mu Qingxin, as well as the majority of people working in Shanghai who support Huaqiao's housing prices, don't think so.

At the end of 2013, Metro Line 11 extending from Anting Town, JD District, SH City to Kunshan, JS Province was opened to traffic. This is China's first inter-provincial urban rail transit project.The station from Anting to Kunshan is called Huaqiao Station.

From Anting to Huaqiao, take the branch line of Metro Line 11 to go up, 4 stations one way, the fare is 3 yuan, the running distance is 5.09 kilometers, and the whole journey takes 9 minutes.It’s so close, so convenient, and there’s no direct access to the Shanghai subway. Why can’t Huaqiao be considered a part of Shanghai?

After buying the house, Luo Hui knew all about the subway from Huaqiao to Anting.Every day before dawn, Huaqiao Station, the terminal station of Line 11, has already started to gather people.According to Luo Hui's experience, the later it is, the more crowded it will be.

After he sent Mu Qingxin to the subway in the morning, he could go home and sleep again.His workplace is close to Huaqiao, and he arrived at the station before taking a nap on the subway.

Mu Qingxin was not so lucky. She works in Lujiazui, and the one-way trip takes more than 2 hours.Luo Hui was distressed and brainwashed by this unbearable ultra-long commute for ordinary people.

He told Mu Qingqing, Lu Zhenzhong, and at the same time, he told other colleagues that he had checked the data, and the data showed that every day, millions of people, like them, flocked from all directions around Shanghai, such as Huaqiao, Taicang, and Jiaxing. Entering the city of SH, at night, it disperses like a flood, day after day, week after week.

Among the listeners, some felt sad, such as Lu Zhenzhong; some felt envious, such as Chen Simai.Chen Simai didn't even have the qualifications to be a house slave.

Luo Hui himself is full of ambitions.He believes that within two to three years, he and Mu Qingxin will definitely move out of Huaqiao and truly take root in Shanghai.

Lu Zhenzhong drove to Luo Hui's new home with his family.

"Why don't you work hard and buy directly in Anting?" In the car, Sang Baiyue chatted.

The unit price of second-hand housing in Huaqiao is 1.9 per square meter; while in Anting, the unit price of second-hand housing has reached 3.5 per square meter.The nearly double price difference in the middle can no longer be filled by "working harder".Going to Huaqiao to buy a second-hand house has exhausted the young man's abilities.

Surrounding Huaqiao Subway Station, there are densely packed commercial buildings.

Sang Baiyue took the navigation to direct Lu Zhenzhong, and finally directed Lu Zhenzhong to a community called "Puxi Rose Garden".In the corner of the community, I found the building number where Luo Hui's family was located.

Mrs. Luo Hui, Mu Qingqing, had been watching from the courtyard on the first floor.She is actually car blind and doesn't know Lu Zhenzhong's car, but she just can't help but look at it.She welcomes every visitor to the new house from the bottom of her heart.

Luo Hui teased her, saying that she secretly wanted to "revenge shame".

Mu Qingfei glanced at Luo Hui: "I didn't think it was a shame to live in a caravan with you for two years. Looking back now, I even think it's a little romantic."

Luo Hui looked back at Mu Qingqing affectionately, his heart was full of emotion.

Luo Hui's caravan, including all the furniture and appliances inside, was given to the homeless dumb.Duan was so happy that he wanted to cry, hugged Luo Hui and cried for a long time.

Under the watchful eyes of Xiaonian's relatives, Lu Zhenzhong's family arrived.

Lu Zhenzhong bought a fortune tree.Sang Baiyue gave six plants of Wangtiantang raised in a pot.Under the guise of Xiao Zhenqi, the couple gave a playful rocking horse that can be used as a decoration and is practical; Xiao Sangzi Qi gave a beautiful hanging picture.

Luo Hui's dry and simple home suddenly came alive because of the green plants, the wooden horse, and the hanging paintings.

Everyone commented on the new home of the young couple, and the two men took their two children to the playground in the community.Sang Baiyue and Mu Qing were busy with lunch in the kitchen.

Sang Baiyue secretly looked at Mu Qingxin.Mu Qingxin's eye sockets were black and blue, and he was sleep deprived at first glance.Because she didn't know Mu Qingqing that well, Sang Baiyue couldn't persuade her anything, so she had to endure seeing it.

The two made 6 or 7 ingredients prepared by Mu Qingqing into a Chinese meal, and called people outside to go home for dinner. 4 adults and 2 children had a lively lunch.

At the dinner table, Lu Zhenzhong and Luo Hui made complaints about the members of the pseudo-married men's group back then, as if they were talking about cross talk.

What about Lao Zhang's secrets, the other side of Dali, Chen Simai's metaphysical speculation, Jin Yaming... When Jin Yaming was mentioned, Lu Zhenzhong and Luo Hui had a good understanding, and quickly stopped to change the topic.

Sang Baiyue and Mu Qingqing laughed and leaned forward.While the adults were chatting, the children used their hands to eat food.The atmosphere in the house was full of joy, and laughter filled every nook and cranny.

In the afternoon, after bidding farewell to Luo Hui's small family, Lu Zhenzhong drove back to Anting with his family.In the rearview mirror, Luo Hui and Mu Qingxin are cuddling each other with strong affection.

"Looking at their bare house and Mu Qingqing's blue eye sockets, I feel quite uncomfortable." After driving out for a while, when the young couple was no longer in sight, Sang Baiyue said quietly.

Lu Zhenzhong turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile, "Don't be so hypocritical. When you are young, you don't work hard. When did you work hard?"

Lu Zhenzhong didn't feel sad for Luo Hui at all. On the contrary, he felt the excitement of Luo Hui and realized that for Luo Hui, the future was full of infinite expectations.He even envied Luo Hui a little bit, and envied his vigor that was determined to enter.

For example, he already only wants to hold on to the existing country, and doesn't think much about expanding the territory.

After the decline in sales of traditional passenger cars, major companies are intensively deploying new energy vehicles.The new energy department where Lu Zhenzhong works bucks the trend and expands. While other departments are secretly shrinking, they keep recruiting.In the department, it is often seen that Miss Lu leads the interviewees into Bingbulin's office.

Chen Simai, Lu Zhenzhong's office partner, had a visibly whiter complexion and was full of energy.It can be seen that he no longer has internal friction.

Chen Simai is a talent, and he is not afraid of hardship.With him around, he can find out the supplier's product quality and supply capacity by searching the data on the Internet.When Lu Zhenzhong made decisions, he was extremely relaxed.

The job prospects are promising, the work content is worry-free and comfortable, and the salary is rising steadily.The family has both sons and daughters, the husband and wife are harmonious, and the old lady is healthy.In Lu Zhenzhong's life, he has re-entered his comfort zone.
