Rebirth in the 70s: Crazy criticizing spoiled husband for being clingy

When Xiang Qing was choosing a place to live, the first thing she considered was that it couldn’t be too far from Tang Banxia’s home.

But the people living near Tang Banxia's home are not short of money, at least not so short of money as to have to sell their houses.

To be honest, Xiang Qing has been looking for a house for more than three months and has seen all kinds of houses.

Although it is just nearby, the gap between the rich and the poor can be seen just from the housing.

Later, as she had more contact with them, she realized that the alley where her son and daughter-in-law lived was a famous official alley nearby.

What this means is that no matter how big or small the family is, there will always be one person who becomes an official.

Officials all want to save face, so the atmosphere is very good.

There are other small courtyards outside this alley, but those courtyards either have three or four families living in them, or are located near slums, and always have various shortcomings.

For example, the one that Xiang Qing liked was a house in the back of a large compound with a small courtyard separated from it.

There are only three rooms, the alley is very narrow, and the yard is not very big.

But this is the best house Xiang Qing can find.

Tang Banxia and Wen Mubai went in and took a look around.

Frankly speaking: "The house is OK, but if you want to live in it, you need to fix it up."

This house was originally allocated to a couple from a machinery factory. The couple was quite foresighted and paid the full amount in one go in exchange for the property rights of the house when they were allocated the house.

But now the couple is being transferred to the north, where they will definitely settle down, so the house in Beijing will have to be sold.

This is what Xiang Qing encountered.

Xiang Qing also knew that it needed some work: "It will be the end of the year before Deqing is transferred here. I thought, let's take our time to work it out."

She had actually already made plans in her mind. There were three rooms, and she and Deqing would live in the one on the east side.

Wanwan lived in the middle room, and the room on the west was left for her son and his family.

Although the possibility of her son coming to live here is very small, the room must be reserved for him. This is her attitude as a mother.

As for the kitchen, you can build a small one in the yard.

The environment is definitely not as good as in Shanghai, but a house like this has its own warmth.

The two-story house in Shanghai is nice, but too spacious, and she and the nanny are often the only ones at home. Now this small courtyard is just right for their family of three.

Since Xiang Qing was satisfied, Tang Banxia and Wen Mubai looked around the house carefully again and found that there were no major hidden dangers, so they listened to her.

After all, this is Xiang Qing's home, so it's up to her as long as she likes it.

Besides, this place is only two blocks away from their home, so they can take care of each other if anything happens.

That’s right. She looked at the middle-aged ladies who were gathered around chatting and wondered if Zhou Deqing could adapt to it.

Thinking about the beautifully and stylishly decorated two-story building in Shanghai, and then thinking about Zhou Deqing's cold face, I inexplicably felt that he didn't fit in with this place.

But Xiang Qing didn't think about all this at all. She just liked this ordinary life.

Once you are satisfied with the house, the next step is to negotiate the price.

House prices are not too expensive now, of course this is Beijing, so it’s not that cheap either.

The person in charge of the homeowner's family is a woman, so she is the one who makes the offer.

The price she quoted was 20% higher than the market price.

Xiang Qing had never bargained before when buying anything in her previous life. Although she had learned a lot from her neighbors during her time in Beijing, her bargaining ability was still very weak.

There was no choice but for Tang Banxia to roll up his sleeves and get to work.

After a lot of haggling with the female landlord, the house was finally sold for 1,150 yuan.

The transfer fee is borne by the homeowner.

Xiang Qing was watching from the side and was amazed.

Little girl Zhou Wanwan listened with bright eyes.

My opinion of my sister-in-law changed again.

In her previous impression, her sister-in-law was gentle and elegant, occasionally very irritable, smart but also kind.

In short, all the nice words she knew could be used to describe her sister-in-law.

Her sister-in-law always appears like this in front of her.

The little girl looked at Tang Banxia with admiration. This was the first time she saw her sister-in-law arguing with someone.

His tone was gentle and unhurried, but he achieved his goal.

She also wants to be such a person.

On the way to the Housing Management Office to transfer the ownership, the little girl would steal glances at Tang Banxia from time to time.

Seeing that my sister-in-law had returned to her usual cheerful and talkative self, I admired her so much, especially since she and the landlord's aunt had just had such a big fight, but now they could still have a pleasant chat together.

A seed was planted in the little girl's heart, and she would do the same in the future.

The house transfer was completed, and after leaving the housing management office, the female homeowner said, "My husband, Lao Xiong, will not be transferring until next month, so he has to let us stay for a while. We will try to move out within a month."

The house was registered under Xiang Qing's name. With the house, she officially became a Beijing resident, and Wanwan could also follow her household registration.

Seeing her own house, Xiang Qing was in a very good mood. She agreed to the female landlord's request without hesitation: "No problem, I'm not in a hurry anyway."

This is the first house under her name.

There are only two properties left of the original Xiang family, both in Shanghai, and they are all under my brother's name.

Even if my brother died, it is still under his name.

Later, it was directly transferred to her two children.

Before she got married, her parents provided her with food, clothing and money, but they had no property. Originally, the Xiang family was not a wealthy family, but had some assets.

Not to mention marrying into the Su family, the Su family is a nest of jackals and tigers. It's good enough that they don't want to suck her blood. How could they give her any property?

The same goes for the Zhou family, even though Zhou Deqing treated her very well.

So, this house is her first house in every sense.

One can imagine the mixed feelings she had.

In her joy, she waved her hand and said, "I'm not going to eat at home today! I'll treat you to a Western meal! Let's celebrate."

Xiang Qing has no shortage of money.

Although she had never worked in her life, Zhou Deqing was generous to her and gave all his salary to her, and she had saved a lot over the years.

After coming to Beijing, Tang Banxia would also give her household expenses, so she didn't have to spend much money at all.

Tang Banxia and others did not disappoint and responded one after another.

When they arrived at the western restaurant, Tang Tuantuan and Wen Gungun, two ignorant kids, turned their heads left and right, exclaiming "Wow!" from time to time.

He is like a country bumpkin who has never eaten Western food.

Xiang Qing was familiar with this. She ordered the dishes and handed the menu to Tang Banxia.

Tang Banxia took a look and ordered cream of mushroom soup, mashed potatoes, and pasta for the two kids, then ordered a pizza, and finally ordered a lamb chop for her and Wen Mubai.

This western restaurant is also state-owned and has hosted foreign guests. It was not open to ordinary people before and has only been opened in the past two years.

People say that Western food is all about service, but Tang Banxia didn’t feel that at all.

Moreover, the Western food served was just so-so. The lamb chops were too greasy, the cream of mushroom soup was too bland, the pizza and pasta were okay, and the mashed potatoes were ok.

However, the mashed potatoes here cost 1.5 yuan per serving. Although Tang Banxia had prepared well, the taste was still so-so.

The same went for Xiang Qing. When she took the first bite, her brows furrowed and never relaxed after that.

Even the two kids, Tang Tuantuan and Wen Gungun, who were full of anticipation at the beginning, ended up with frowning faces at the end.

However, you have to finish it even if it tastes bad. Nowadays, wasting food will bring divine punishment.

When they finally left the western restaurant, Xiang Qing regretted it so much: "Let's eat at state-owned restaurants next time."

Tang Tuantuan agreed: "Western food is so disgusting, I want to eat sweet and sour fish." He took the opportunity to make a request.

"I'll make it for you when we get home." Xiang Qing has always been a parent who dotes on her children.

"Okay."

The pleasant weekend passed.

Starting from Monday, Tang Banxia entered into the daily life of being harassed by the second branch of the Bai family.

This time, they were even more enthusiastic, and Tang Banxia's enthusiastic words seemed unreasonable even if she wanted to say something bad.

There is also Bai Xun, who comes every now and then.

The movement here caused her classmates in the school to look at her strangely.

She endured such difficult days day after day.

It was not until after the final exams and the day before summer vacation that Professor Sun learned the man's identity.
