At noon, Song Hongbing invited him to dinner in the private room of the third cafeteria. When Song Hongguo and Huo Minglou arrived with their children, Han Ying and Zou Lanlan were talking. It seemed that the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After a few words of greeting, everyone sat down. Song Hongbing prepared the ingredients in advance and handed them over to the master chefs in the kitchen. After a while, the dishes were served. There were chickens, fish, shrimps and crabs. The dishes were sumptuous, and he was prepared to treat guests. It's quite sufficient.

Song Hongbing warmly greeted everyone to eat while it was hot. His brows were filled with joy and smile, and anyone could tell that he was in a good mood.

After the food was over, Song Hongbing picked up the cup and said to Song Hongguo, "I'll give you a toast with tea instead of wine. I can't express my gratitude. Without you, I would still be worried about the house. What now?" The problem has been solved, hahaha, it’s all thanks to you..."

Song Hongguo smiled and touched him, "That's too polite. We are all beneficiaries. I didn't go out of my way to help you solve your problems. Saying thank you would be too unreasonable."

Song Hongbing chuckled, "That's taking advantage of you. Without you coming up with a good way to build a house on your own, and without your efforts to deal with the factory committee, how would we benefit? In short, I'm grateful for the kindness. I'll be useful in the future." , just give your orders, I won’t shirk the responsibility, just do it first as a sign of respect.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he drank it all happily.

Han Ying curled her lips and retorted him out of habit, "Those who didn't know better thought you were drinking wine. This sincerity is shallow enough."

Song Hongbing was not angry and explained subconsciously, "Don't I have to go to work in the afternoon? If I get caught, I will be punished, otherwise I will definitely drink."

Han Ying rolled his eyes and stopped arguing with Zou Lanlan because of Zou Lanlan's presence. He lowered his head and peeled the crab.

Zou Lanlan didn't seem to notice anything. She picked up the cup and touched one with Song Hongguo. She smiled generously and expressed her gratitude, otherwise her marriage to Song Hongbing would still be in trouble.

Song Hongguo asked curiously, "Have you already paid the rent?"

Song Hongbing nodded and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "I'll go there in the morning. If you hand it in earlier, the factory can start construction earlier, and the house can be obtained earlier."

"How big did you choose?"

"Sixty square meters. I saw the preliminary design draft given by the factory. It is sixty square meters with two bedrooms and two living rooms, with a bathroom and a kitchen, and a terrace. It is very spacious. If there are many people in the future, it can be The living room has been transformed into a bedroom, and the terrace is not too small. It has a closed window and can accommodate a small bed.”

He was beaming as he spoke. Zou Lanlan next to him gave him an angry look, and he restrained himself.

Song Hongguo was influenced by him and couldn't help but said, "Then I'll go and hand over the money later."

Song Hongbing said hurriedly, "Yes, if we pay it in earlier, we can also choose the floor first. Most of the workers have ordered small apartments. I'm afraid that not many people will order medium-sized apartments. The factory will delay the construction until later. The payment will be delayed." If there are more people with money, the factory can arrange it for us sooner.”

“How many people have settled in the middle household now?”

"The people who have decided are okay, there must be about a hundred or so, but the ones who have paid are not much. I am doing ideological work for them now. I have already persuaded several of them. There are thirty households in a building, as long as there are thirty If people pay, they can build it.”

Song Hongguo heard this and turned to look at Han Ying, "What about you?"

Han Ying struggled and said, "We have already divided the house. If we buy another one, I would rather change it to a bigger one. That is Xu Wei's house. It has not been discussed yet."

Song Hongguo thought of Xu Wei's mother she saw at the Wu family's wedding banquet, and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is his family unwilling?" Han Ying twitched her lips, "Who knows, anyway, there is no result yet. He is an only child, and his family The newly allocated house is more than 100 square meters, which is enough to live in. His parents hope that we can live together. It took a lot of effort to get a single room from our factory. If I talk about buying a house again, ha..."

Maybe the other person would think she was instigating something.

Song Hongguo understood, but didn't know what to say, so she could only advise, "It's okay to live in the apartment you got for the time being. It's about forty square meters. After renovation, it's actually very comfortable to live in."

Han Ying nodded and said no more words.

After the meal, Huo Minglou discussed with her privately, "Should we only buy one set? Or we should order two sets of 60 square meters, and choose them on the same floor."

"Isn't that too eye-catching?"

"No, I'll buy one in your name, and I'll apply to buy another one. When the house is built, you can return the single room assigned to you by the hospital's family home, so that you won't be blamed."

"What about the one in your research institute? Do you want to withdraw it too?"

"There's no need to return that package. It's a welfare package specially provided to me by the institute. No one will say anything. After we get married, we will eat there at noon and go back to the Tomato Brigade to rest in the evening."

Song Hongguo nodded, somewhat guessing his intention, and the corners of her lips rose up with a sense of joy, "Do you want to buy two sets because of Xiaozhi and Xiaoyuan?"

Huo Minglou said "hmm" calmly, as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand, and explained a few more words, "Parents like their children to have fun at their knees, but for children, they hope to spread their wings and fly high. We are willing to do it for them." They protect themselves from the wind and rain, but there is no grass under the big tree. No matter how hard you let go, sooner or later you will have to watch them fly away. They have their own lives, and we also have ours. There are too many ties between parents and children, and they are too close. , not very nice to each other.”

After saying that, he added uncomfortably, "I don't say this just because Xiaozhi and Xiaoyuan are not biological. Even if they are biological, my attitude would be the same."

Song Hongguo looked at him with narrow eyes, "What are you guilty of? I won't think too much. Do I still suspect that you don't want to support them?"

"Hongguo..." His handsome face turned red with amuse.

Song Hongguo chuckled and teased, "You're thinking too far ahead. You haven't even held a wedding yet, so you're just thinking about your children?"

Huo Minglou endured his embarrassment and said, "I didn't think that far ahead. In fact, I didn't want to have a child too early..."

"Ok?"

Huo Minglou didn't explain, but his blushing ears and evasive eyes revealed his thoughts better than any words.

Song Hongguo reacted slowly, "Well, he knows quite a lot, isn't it said that people in this era are just like blank sheets of paper?"

In the afternoon, while the outpatient clinic was not busy, Song Hongguo went to the Finance Department to pay the money. The other party carefully counted it three times before giving her a receipt.

She took a look at the list of people who paid the money. Including her, there were currently eight households with employees in the middle household. This number was really not enough compared to those in small households. Fortunately, after that, Song Hongbing persuaded a few more When she came alone, she also bought two, namely Xu Xianghong and Director Zhang, both for her son. In this way, she was able to collect more than half. According to the factory's initial plan, it could barely be included in the house building plan. (End of chapter)
