Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

Besides, you also said that the child's father does not hold a high position. If he builds a three-bedroom apartment, wouldn't it be eye-catching?"

"You are just too cautious. You didn't see many people who, if they have the conditions, want a three-bedroom apartment, right?"

"Other families have many children. We only have three people in our family. If we want a three-bedroom apartment, won't people say we are capitalist?

Moreover, nowadays, if city dwellers have any extra rooms in their homes, aren’t they all confiscated?

If they really want a three-bedroom apartment, I'm afraid it won't be allocated to our family?

Why not get a smaller house from the beginning? If it doesn't work out, we can just modify it ourselves, right?"

"change?

How to change it?

“Why can’t it be changed?

At worst, you can just change the two-bedroom apartment into a three-bedroom one!

It just seems a bit crowded.”

"What if the child gets married in the future?"

"Isn't it too early to say this now? Our Dongdong is not even one year old yet, and we have to consider his marriage?"

"Morning?

I don’t think so. On the contrary, the sooner you consider it, the better. Don’t let the house issue delay your child’s marriage?”

"Auntie, what is there to worry about?

Don’t you see that there are houses being built nearby?

I think after Dongdong gets married, he can solve the problem with his own ability?"

"That's right, but it's better to prepare early."

"I know that you care about him and me, as a mother, will also prepare for him in advance."

"That's good."

Are you preparing anything?

Now he is just a little kid who knows nothing but eating. It’s too early for him to get married.

If you really want to prepare, you have to prepare for the things in front of you first.

Even though I heard that the post office is going to distribute houses, by the time that day really comes, it will be almost the New Year, okay?

This notice was given just before the Chinese New Year, so that everyone can have a happy New Year after moving into their new home.

I was indeed very happy, but no matter how happy I was, I couldn't feel happy when I saw the things I had cleaned up in the house.

Especially at the beginning of winter, in order to prevent others from discovering my secret when moving, I bought a lot of radishes and cabbages.

Not to mention that most of the cabbages were made into sauerkraut or spicy cabbage, just look at that pile of radishes!

Almost all the radishes were dried into dried radishes. There were 5 bags of dried radishes in total.

There were still many radishes in there, and in order to hide some meat or grain inside, they were turned over and over again, and suddenly two more bags were added.

Not to mention that there are so many dried vegetables at home. I'm afraid that when we move, it will take a whole cart just to carry the jars and dried vegetables.

Fortunately, people in this era are more capable of living. Even if it is a rag that cannot be torn any more, they are reluctant to throw it away. Otherwise, there is really nothing much to say.

As for his own house, Guo Huaian was right. It was a medium-sized two-bedroom apartment of about 2 square meters.

And the location is not bad. There are three households on one floor. The one on the west side is Uncle Zhang's family. The one in the middle is his family, and the one on the east side is his colleague.

A three-household apartment on the first floor is a little more noisy than a two-household apartment on the first floor, but people of this era don't care about such things.

After Guo Huaian got the floor plan back, I talked to him about it there.

"Find a few people to help you renovate the house according to the drawings I drew.

This way, even if there are more children in the family, they don't have to squeeze into one room.

If we have another child in the future, it would be fine if it's a boy, but if it's a girl, we can't have a boy and a girl living in the same room.

But you can’t tell anyone about this. If anyone asks, just say you plan to use a small study room.”

“Don’t worry about that, I know, but this will make the room look a little small.

But then again, the storage room and the living room separated in the middle are both there.”

"That's right. Another thing is to change the toilet door a little bit. It can't be facing the living room directly."

"That's true, okay, let's do as you wish.

As for the bricks and cement, I have used my connections and I will get them later.

But this means we will have to move in a little later."

"It's late, so be it!

As long as we live comfortably, that’s all.”

Because of this, after Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang found out, they also wanted to set up a storage room in their new home, so they came to me to see if they could make some minor changes.

Although Uncle Zhang’s house is not big, it is still more than 30 square meters.

In fact, since it's just the two of them living there, it doesn't matter how they make the changes.

This is what Uncle Zhang said after the revision was completed.

“This way, not only will there be an extra storage room, but also an extra small living room.

Even if someone comes to our house, there is a place for them to stay. At least they don’t have to live in the same house with the two of us old people.”

Then I heard Aunt Zhang talking there.

“Then forget it!

I don’t want anyone to live in our house out of the blue.”

“I’m just saying that. Since Xiao Guo’s family wants to change, then we can do it together.

Don’t look for anyone else. Just ask Da Cui and the others to come over on Sunday.

With more people, it can be done in less than two days!"

"Really? This is where we eat?"

“Eating is easy, they are not other people, as long as the quantity is enough.

If there is no meat, isn’t there still salted fish?

Then just buy two more bottles of wine."

"Yeah, if that's the case, then let's do it this way. Yeah, we are not others, there is no need to be so polite."

"No."

With the help of Uncle Cui and others, why would it only take two days?

In one day, the houses of both families were renovated.

It's not a major renovation that needs to be done, just some work here and there. The only downside is that there won't be enough time to put up the mud.

Fortunately, we didn't live too far away, so on the second Sunday, I and Aunt Zhang didn't have to go there, as Uncle Zhang and Guo Huaian did the work of hanging the mud.

As a result, in the penultimate week of 57, we were finally able to move into our new home.

Because there were too many things when moving, the neighbors living in the area were all talking about it.

"Are these two families going to move away too?"

"That's right. But then again, they've moved into their new house, so we should be there soon too?"

"That's right. I heard that we should be after the New Year. Isn't that pretty soon?"

"Who says it's not? But we won't have as much trouble as those two families when the time comes. We can just move in directly. Why bother changing things back and forth?"

"But don't you think the house looks better with that change?"

“It’s better, but there are only a few people in their two families, and we have a few more people.
