Rebirth 1994: Starting from laid-off workers

The new dormitory building is not far from the old dormitory. Just a few steps outside, you can see a new courtyard wall with three brand new five-story residential buildings standing in a zigzag shape.

Zhang Jiaqiang said hello to the gatekeeper and led everyone up to the new building.

The new building has just been handed over, and the residents haven't moved in yet. Most of the windows upstairs are dark, and the corridors look empty, with a faint smell of lime.

There is a big difference between this new building and the old simple building. In the old building, there are six households on one staircase, while in the new building, there are two households on one staircase. Each house has a small two-bedroom apartment with a separate bathroom and kitchen.

Although it is not as good as the later commercial houses, it can still be regarded as a luxury house in this era!

The young men who came to help lamented that Zhang Jiaqiang was lucky.

Someone said with envy, "Brother Qiang, when will I be able to live in such a good house!"

Although housing prices are extremely low these days, wages and incomes are also low, and ordinary workers can rarely afford to buy a house.

Most people rely on inheritance from their ancestors or welfare from their work units to allocate housing.

Most of them still live in the small simple buildings that Zhang Jiaqiang used to live in.

Zhang Jiaqiang gently patted him on the shoulder and said loudly, "Brothers, as long as you follow me well, in three years, I will let you all live in a two-bedroom apartment or even a three-bedroom apartment!"

He is not bragging. The land has not yet been recruited, auctioned or listed, and there is no need to pay land transfer fees.

You can get a piece of land by paying some symbolic money through your connections.

These days, the construction cost of multi-story residential buildings is around [-] yuan per square meter. Once they are all built, it doesn’t cost much per square meter. It is not a dream to provide welfare housing to employees.

But almost no one believed this. They all thought Zhang Jiaqiang was joking and everyone laughed.

The new house only had white walls and a cement floor. After Zhang Jiaqiang looked at it, he felt that there was no need to decorate it. Anyway, he didn't know how long he could live in this house, so he had to make do with it.

So I asked a few brothers to come and help clean the house tomorrow, and then move in in the afternoon.

After putting down their things, the brothers promised to come early tomorrow morning and then left one after another.

There was only the young couple left in the room. Ye Xiumei stood at the window and looked at the street under the lights. She couldn't calm down for a long time and couldn't help but secretly sigh that this is a decent home!
When I thought about it, my colleagues in the factory still lived in small shabby houses, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

She kept mumbling, "The factory director is really nothing. He has tricked so many people. Don't get too involved with him in the future. We can't be scolded in the back!"

Guys like Factory Director Yin are still valuable now. Zhang Jiaqiang has already laid the foundation for them. After he has established a foothold, he will definitely send them to live in retirement.

Things can be accomplished with secrets, and words can be revealed, so if you want to make big things happen, you can’t even tell your closest people!
At this moment, he could only coax, "Are you still planning to protect the poor people in the world and make them happy? We can live there, but the smoke is coming from the ancestral graves!"

"Then, do they deserve to be poor and live in a small shabby house like that?" Ye Xiumei's face suddenly darkened.

This honest and kind-hearted silly girl is really hard to coax.

Zhang Jiaqiang said softly, "I just promised them that as long as they work hard, they will definitely live in a new house in three years!"

"Humph, even a fool can hear you bragging!" Ye Xiumei rolled her eyes.

"Honey, once these two projects are completed, it will be no problem to build a community, let alone dormitories." Zhang Jiaqiang told the whole story about the prospects of the two projects.

Ye Xiumei turned her head and looked at the confident Zhang Jiaqiang who was talking eloquently. She suddenly felt that he was smart, courageous, and had many lofty ideals. More importantly, he was down-to-earth and knew how to love and care for her.I couldn't help but think that it would be nice to live with such a person for the rest of my life.

After Zhang Jiaqiang finished talking about his future plans, he took her hand and pointed to the living room and said, "Let's put a sofa here, a dining table there, and a fish tank in the middle. We will sleep in the master bedroom over there, and the child will sleep in the second bedroom next to it!" "

Ye Xiumei was looking forward to her future life in her mind. When she heard this, she suddenly said, "Damn it, who will give you a child!"

The Zhang family held her in his arms fiercely and whispered in her ear, "If I don't give birth, I won't give birth. Having you here is the greatest happiness in my life. As long as you can accompany me until I grow old, I will accept it even if I have no children or grandchildren!"

Ye Xiumei had never heard such earthy love words before, her heart softened instantly, she hugged his neck suddenly, and raised her hand to cover his mouth.

"Don't say frustrating words. As long as you are good to me, I will give you life." Her voice became smaller and smaller, and the last few words disappeared into the air.

What a God-given opportunity, the atmosphere is here, how can Zhang Jiaqiang not take advantage of the victory and pursue it.

"What are you doing, let go"

Zhang Jiaqiang ignored Ye Xiumei's struggle and lifted her up to the window sill.

Ye Xiumei was shy and scared. She wanted to shout loudly, but was afraid of being heard by others, so she could only close her eyes and endure the sudden violation.

The moonlight shone in from the window, and Ye Xiumei's long hair was flying in the hot night wind. An unprecedented excitement made her gradually become addicted, forgetting where she was.

Suddenly Zhang Jiaqiang stopped and looked at the bright red on his fingertips under the silver moonlight, "Honey, what are you doing here?"

Only then did Ye Xiumei realize it, and with an ouch, she punched his back a few times with her fist, "It's all your fault that I hate him."

In the middle of the night, the raw material warehouse of the No. [-] Plastics Factory was quietly opened. Several dark figures came in and out, moved bags of things out, and then disappeared into the night.

At this moment, the entire city has fallen into a dark and sweet dream, and these shameful activities have been covered up by the night.

Zhang Jiaqiang, who was sleeping, knew nothing about all this.

Early the next morning, Zhang Jiaqiang stretched and opened his eyes and saw Ye Xiumei curled up on the bed like a kitten, sleeping soundly.

He got up in a hurry, washed up, boiled brown sugar ginger water and put a few eggs in it.

"Honey, get up soon and eat it while it's hot. It's good for your health!"

Ye Xiumei opened her eyes with a groan, sniffed the smell of brown sugar in the room, felt warm in her heart, and smiled sweetly.

"No, my stomach doesn't hurt this time. That's weird. I used to have pain several days a month!"

"That's because of me, haha!" Zhang Jiaqiang leaned over and kissed her face gently, "Be good, eat it even if it doesn't hurt, don't leave any leftovers, see you at noon!"

"Then what do you eat?"

"I can buy some on the way!"

Ye Xiumei blushed and said, "Close your eyes!"

Zhang Jiaqiang obediently closed his eyes, and suddenly felt something warm and soft touching his cheek. When he opened his eyes, he found that his wife turned her head away in shame.
