Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

Besides, after a while, people will start gossiping about it.”

"The one gossiping must be that old lady from the Liu family!"

"how?

you know! "

"I do know that one day Guo Huaian and I played in the city until late at night. It was quite dark when we came back. He was walking me back to the dormitory when she saw me.

You just said someone was gossiping about me behind my back, and I immediately guessed it was her."

"So what do you think about Xiao Guo?"

"Aunt, don't worry. I'll ask him alone later. If he doesn't have any ideas, we should definitely make up our mind."

"That's good. There's no need to make a big deal about the engagement. We can just have a meal with Comrade Zhang's family.

When you get married, invite your uncles over so that everyone can have fun together.

But, this place to live is really depressing, isn't it? "

“Are you planning to apply for a house in your company?

Or at the post office?"

"What's wrong?

Auntie, do you have anything else to say? "

"That's not the case. It's just that the buildings at the post office were built a little slower. After all, they were built by several units together, so they weren't built as fast as your unit."

“Why else would I think so?

Auntie, you don't have to worry about this. As for the family quarters of our No. 1 Cotton Mill, even if they are built quickly, even if I apply for marriage tomorrow, I won't get a house for a while."

"this?"

“You don’t know, in our factory, not only are there many people waiting in line to get married, but there are also many family members of employees who have not come along.

I heard that the factory leaders are worried about this matter recently?

We can't let people who already have a family live apart like this forever, right?

On the contrary, I think renting a house is not bad at the moment. ”

"But, there really isn't one around here. What kind of house can we rent?"

"I think the place where you and Uncle Zhang live is pretty good!"

"You mean here?"

"yes?

This place is not far from the post office or the No. 1 Cotton Factory. If you rent a house nearby, it shouldn't be a problem.

And it's just a temporary stay, not a permanent one?"

"That's right. As long as the post office family building is built, we can move in at any time."

"That's right. In fact, the most important thing is that there are fewer staff members in the post office. Even if they live together with other units, relatively speaking, there should be less trouble."

"Not always?"

"what?"

"This person gets along with others differently. It's hard to say what will happen in the future."

"Yes, I thought it was too simple."

"Since you plan to rent a house nearby, why don't you talk to Xiao Guo about it later? If he is also gay, it just so happens that the west wing of this courtyard is not rented yet?

If you guys really succeed, I'll ask your Uncle Zhang to talk to the landlord about it.

what do you think? "

"Okay!

But this matter will have to wait a little longer, but it won’t take too long, you can just wait for my letter within half a month.”

"it is good."

Since I often came to the yard where Uncle Zhang and his family lived, I had this idea, especially the desire to move out of the dormitory became stronger and stronger.

That will be fine now. Let's test Guo Huaian's attitude first. If it's okay, the two of us will become revolutionary partners.

If that doesn't work out, then I'll just move out and live on my own. It's not convenient to do anything living in the dormitory.

After this year, we will enter the year 56, and we are getting closer and closer to that time.

Now I just want to make as much preparation as I can by making use of the limited time.

As for living in the same yard with Uncle Zhang and others, is there any inconvenience?

To say no, that's definitely impossible?

But even if I don’t live in the same yard with Uncle Zhang and the others, wouldn’t it be equally inconvenient even if I live in the same yard with other people?

The only way to avoid being noticed by others is to have your own yard, but this is probably not realistic at the moment.

Since it is unrealistic, we can only settle for the next best thing.

Not to mention, what I need to prepare is not just food, but also other things, such as some dishes?

At that time, not only was there a shortage of food, but there was also no vegetables.

And in the most difficult times, eating vegetables is always safer than eating grains.

In addition to these, there are many other things to prepare, so it is more convenient to live outside.

This Sunday, Guo Huaian and I didn’t go to any tourist attractions!

I didn't go into the city either. After all, city people are busy now, dealing with public-private partnerships. Many stores are closed or are undergoing rectification.

It is not easy to find a quiet restaurant or teahouse.

I could only run to the nearby cinema, watch a movie, and then find a place to eat.

While waiting for the food to be served, I asked Guo Huaian.

"Have you ever thought about our future?"

"You mean?"

"how?

Didn't you understand what I meant?"

"No, no, I understand, I understand, I just didn't expect you to say that?"

"So what do you want me to say?"

"No, should I be the one asking you this?"

"Who asked the difference?"

"Too."

"Should you answer my question then?"

"Of course I have thought about it, but I wonder if you have thought about it?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?

If I hadn’t thought about it, why would I ask you this question? "

"Too."

"Then tell me first, what do you think?"

"I have thought about our future, and the current situation is that I can solve everything else, except where to live?

Do you also know what the current situation of my unit is?

And you probably wouldn't want to live in the staff quarters of the No. 1 Cotton Mill.

As a result, we can only rent a house.

But is this the only condition of the houses nearby?

If you want to rent a better house, there is none.”

"Can you tell me when we can get housing in the family quarters of your post office?"

"In my situation, if I want a slightly bigger house, I have to wait at least three to five years."

“You also said that someone like you would have to wait three to five years.

My situation is similar to yours. If I want to get a nice house in the No. 1 Cotton Mill, it will probably take this long."

"It seems that we have no choice but to rent a house first. As for after we get married, we will run our own little home together. No matter what happens at that time, I will discuss it with you. Is that okay with you?"

"That's what you said. Don't regret it after I marry you, okay?"

"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word. I understand that a gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

"Fine!

Then I will believe you for a while.

As for the matter of renting a house you just mentioned, what do you think of the courtyard where my uncle Zhang's family currently lives?"
