Pei Lin's brother-in-law Mi Nanyang turned out to be the workshop director of the No. [-] Light Bulb Factory in the provincial capital. In fact, he was the workshop team leader. Calling him director was a compliment to his face.

Xue Ming left his family in the rental house to wait, and took the train alone to the provincial capital to visit Mi Nanyang, planning to settle the house first and then pick up his family.

After taking a train for two days and two nights, I arrived at the provincial capital. According to the address given by Pei Lin, I arrived at a residential area of ​​courtyard houses. As I looked around, I saw courtyards one after another.

Xue Ming took out a map to study and found that the No. 15 Light Bulb Factory in the provincial capital was [-] miles away and the department store was only four miles away. The location was good and you could rent a house here.

Walking along a small alley, I heard all kinds of noisy sounds, including children playing games, clinking pots and pans, and even loud quarrels.

The alley was very dirty. As I walked, the courtyard door in front of me opened, and a middle-aged woman splashed a basin of dirty water on the road with a brush.

She saw Xue Ming wearing a neat and polished suit and carrying a suitcase in his hand. She rolled her eyes and came over with a basin in hand to strike up a conversation, "Comrade, do you want to rent a house? I still have a vacant room at home."

"Hello, eldest sister, let me ask you something. Do you know where Mi Nanyang's family is?" Xue Ming asked with a smile.

"I don't know." The middle-aged woman walked home carrying the copper basin and slammed the door.

"This old lady is sick." Xue Ming suspected that she and Mi Nanyang had a problem, so he asked the children playing on the roadside, and was soon led to Mi Nanyang's home by two little lolita.

This is a large courtyard house with the door open. There are several children playing in the yard and two women are sitting on chairs chatting.

"Hello, comrade, is this the home of Director Mi Nanyang?" Xue Ming stood outside the threshold and struck up a conversation.

"I see you are a bit unfamiliar. What do you want to see him for?" asked the woman in a dress.

"Hello, eldest sister, I'm from Guangming County. Director Pei Lin has a letter for me to pass on to Director Mi." Xue Ming took out Pei Lin's letter from his bag.

"Hmph, people named Pei are up to no good. He either wants food or money to spend. He is a director of a supply and marketing cooperative and he is so bad." Hu Liya did not hide her disgust. She stood up and shook her dress. She had been chatting with her just now. The women left immediately.

Hu Liya sent her out and reached out to take the letter from Xue Ming's hand, "Lao Mi is not at home, I will hand it over to him for you."

The door closed with a bang. Xue Ming felt that this girl was also seriously ill. Do people in the city like to slam the door of their house?

Turning around and continuing to walk in the alley, there was a rental notice posted on the door of a house. Xue Ming knocked on the door gently and prepared to look at the house.

In the main room of the Mi family, Hu Liya threw the envelope on the table, "Stop drinking cat urine. Your good sister wants to take advantage of our family again. Read her letter."

"What's wrong with you?" Mi Nanyang, who was drinking a small drink, became agitated. The eldest sister took away two kilograms of peanut oil from home last time, which made Hu Liya feel so distressed that she almost vomited blood.

"Mi, if you dare to give our things to your eldest sister, you will never be able to survive." Hu Liya suddenly roared at the top of her voice.

"I think you deserve a spanking!" Mi Nanyang slapped his wife on the head, and the next second the couple started fighting each other.

Hu Liya is short and thick, and Mi Nanyang is as tall and thin as a stick. The two of them are evenly matched.

The tenants in the yard came over to have fun, but no one came to stop the fight. The two couples fought every day and everyone was numb.

Hu Liya was defeated quickly and sat down on the ground crying, "Oh my God, I can't live anymore. All the good things in the house were killed and secretly given to his slut sister..."

"Who are you calling a slut? You are the slut!" Mi Nanyang grabbed Hu Liya's hair and slapped her face several times.

At this time, Xue Ming, who was looking at the house next door, couldn't help but laugh when he heard the movement in Mi's house. That old lady really deserves a beating.

"Is Comrade Xue satisfied with these two rooms?" the middle-aged uncle said, pointing to the east wing.

"I'm sorry, uncle, there are eight people in my family. These two rooms are not enough." Xue Ming declined politely. The two bedrooms are too small, and the whole family cannot be squeezed together.

"There's nothing we can do about it. I only have these two small rooms left in my house. There is a suitable small courtyard in Lao Mi's house next door. You can go and have a look after they finish fighting." The middle-aged uncle said while suppressing a smile.

The scolding next door was very fierce, and it seemed that the situation would not end for a while. Xue Ming looked at his watch and it was already 12 noon, so he left his uncle's house to find a secluded place to take a nap in the space.

When I woke up, it was exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, and it had been two hours since the fight at Mi's house. "They should have calmed down, right?"

After leaving the space and continuing to search for a suitable house, I suddenly heard someone shouting from behind, "Hey, is the person in front of you Comrade Xue Ming?"

Xue Ming turned around and saw that it was Hu Liya. The middle-aged man following him looked similar to Pei Lin's wife.

"Comrade Xue Ming!" Hu Liya ran over and grabbed Xue Ming's sleeve, "My brother, why didn't you say earlier that you were Comrade Xue Ming, the people's inventor?"

Xue Ming looked confused, "I am Xue Ming, is there anything wrong, eldest sister?"

Mi Nanyang walked over quickly and held Xue Ming's hand tightly, "Hello, brother Xue, I am Mi Nanyang, the brother-in-law of Pei Lin, Mi Shili's brother."

"Hello, Director Mi." Xue Ming didn't understand why their attitude was so good, and what exactly Pei Lin said in the letter.

"Oh, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple and the whole family cannot recognize each other. My wife just neglected my brother. I hope that I will not be as knowledgeable as her."

"If Brother Xue had explained his words earlier, there would be no misunderstanding." Hu Liya accompanied the smile with a cautious look.

"Brother, let me go home and look at the house. I happen to have three rooms reserved for you." Mi Nanyang couldn't help but pull Xue Ming home.

Xue Ming didn't know why the Mi family couple were so enthusiastic, and he didn't bother to ask why. It was probably because of their title of people's inventors.

Mi's courtyard is very large, with rooms in all directions, east, west, north, and south. There are eight tenant households living in the courtyard, and the three east wing rooms have not been rented out yet.

There are only common furniture such as beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs, and benches in the room. They are neatly packed and ready for check-in.

Xue Ming is very satisfied. His mother and two younger sisters will live in one room, his two younger brothers will live in one room, and his family of three will live in one room. "How can I rent these three houses?"

Hu Liya immediately beamed. As expected, Pei Lin did not brag in the letter. Comrade Xue Ming was indeed a rich man. He wanted to rent three large rooms as soon as he asked.

"We are a family and I'm honest. How about you give me [-] yuan a year for three large guest rooms?" Mi Nanyang said.

"Can you use grain to pay the rent? I can give you [-] kilograms of wheat or [-] kilograms of rice." Xue Ming has too much grain in his hand and it will become moldy if not processed.

"My dear mother, I want four hundred pounds of wheat, when will you give it to me?" Hu Liya was ecstatic.
