Chapter 217 Birth (1)

"Zhong Xia, which one do you want to choose?"

Xiao Ma held the mouse and switched between different pictures of the interior of the house, which could not be seen on the official website. Read

Zhong Xia compared them carefully, pointed to a 78-square-meter house and said, "I think this one is pretty good, the decoration is very new, and the house is facing north, so it should be very cool."

Xiao Ma looked at the house price, which was 18.6 million yuan, and a 20% down payment was 3.72 million yuan, which was just within their family's affordability.

So he nodded and said, "Then choose this one, if it doesn't work, we will change it."

Half an hour later, Xiao Ma and his wife walked out of the door of the Housing Administration Bureau. The house had been booked, and the next step was to view the house. If they were satisfied, the transfer procedures could be completed within a week.

The reason why it was so fast was mainly because the loan procedures were very simple. As long as the household registration was fine and there was no criminal record, the success rate was basically 100%.

After all, the government has monopolized all house sales. Whether buying or selling a house, it can only be done through the Housing Administration Bureau.

This completely eliminates house speculation and guarantees the distribution of housing on demand to the greatest extent.

Moreover, at the current stage, it doesn’t matter if you can’t afford a house, because the scale of public rental housing will expand a thousand times or even ten thousand times in the future.

Maybe in a few years, public rental housing will become the mainstream.

Back to Xu Dong, he used his lunch time to pick up Ma Lingling and her brother at the train station. The summer vacation has not ended yet, and the two will definitely stay until the end of the month.

Especially Xu’s mother, she was reluctant to let the two children go home, for fear that they would suffer at home.

After picking up the people, I just returned to the company.

Section Chief Li just came back from the hospital. Aunt Li was already in labor, and the due date was in the next few days.

“Uncle Li, has Aunt arranged it?”

“Everything went well, just waiting for the baby to be born.”

Section Chief Li looked happy, but also a little anxious. After all, she was an older mother, so it was understandable.

"Uncle Li, congratulations in advance. I will give you a big red envelope when the baby is born." Xu Dong said with a smile.

Section Chief Li waved his hand:

"No need for red envelopes. The higher-ups have been strict recently. We don't need to run into the gun. I appreciate your kindness."

With the implementation of the "housing reform", the higher-ups have taken the opportunity to launch a new round of anti-corruption storm. Section Chief Li is also an old sly man and has always been very cautious.

Speaking of this, Xu Dong whispered: "Uncle Li, I heard that the higher-ups require cadres above the section level to voluntarily hand over all real estate. You..."

"We are a public institution, and this matter has nothing to do with us. Of course, if you voluntarily hand it over, it is also a political achievement. It seems that General Manager Liao and others have handed it over. But your uncle Li is about to retire, so I won't wade into this muddy water." Section Chief Li explained.

"You are a wise man!"

"Hehe, not only me, but also Director Cao didn't hand it in. We are both about the same age. If we hand it in, it will be a real loss. In the end, we will get nothing." Chief Li sighed.

Xu Dong picked up the thermos and filled Chief Li's cup with water: "Uncle Li, Xiao Xiang is about to give birth. Should we go and see her?"

"No, let's talk about it after the baby is born! Lao He and I have agreed that the two families will hold a full-month banquet together, so you don't have to make an extra trip."

"This is a good idea. It will be more lively with more people."

Just as Chief Li was about to speak, his cell phone rang. The other party picked up the phone and his face suddenly became nervous.

"Yes, I am."

"What, about to give birth? Okay, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, Section Chief Li directly told Xu Dong: "Xiao Xu, please take me to the hospital. I'm in this state now, and I probably can't drive."

"No problem, Uncle Li, I'll wait for you at the South Gate."

"Okay, I'll call Director Cao and come right over." Section Chief Li nodded.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital.

Section Chief Li got off the car and went straight to the obstetrics and gynecology department. Xu Dong had to go back to help him look after his work, so he went back directly.

After get off work, Xu Dong stopped by to visit and stayed with him until eight o'clock in the evening before leaving.

As a result, not long after he got home, he received a call from Section Chief Li, saying that the child had been born, a boy, and the whole process was extremely smooth.

Section Chief Li happily sent a red envelope of 10,000 yuan in the group. Xu Dong was lucky. In total, he grabbed more than 2,800 yuan, second only to Lao Fang's 3,100 yuan.

"Honey, what are you looking at? You're laughing so obscenely that the food is getting cold." Yang Lina reminded.

Xu Dong turned on the screen of his mobile phone: "Our section chief had a son in his old age, and he was so happy that he sent a red envelope of 10,000 yuan in the group. Guess how much I got?"

"How much? Your section chief Li is really generous."

"2,800 yuan, I saved the gas money this month."

"Look at you showing off, you still have to give your section chief a gift later, and this 2,800 yuan may not be enough!" Yang Lina said unhappily.

Xu Dong took a bite of rice, and then shook his head: "No need to give a red envelope this time, the higher-ups are checking strictly, tomorrow you can help me prepare a gift, and I'll send it over."

"Eat or use?"

"Well, eat, take 18 eggs, plus two kilograms of fish, it should be about the same." Xu Dong thought for a while and said.

These things are worth about 10,000 yuan in total, which is really not a small amount.

"Why not just send fish soup? His wife is giving birth and doesn't have time to make soup." Yang Lina suggested.

"That's fine. Let mom make the fish soup thicker. Fish soup can promote lactation."

Yang Lina glanced at her husband: "Need you to tell me? None of us is less experienced than you."

The next morning, before going to work, Xu Dong came to the hospital with fish soup and eggs.

When he arrived at the ward, Aunt Li was already awake. There was an incubator next to the bed, and a newborn baby was lying in it.

"Aunt, I'm here to see you."

Aunt Li smiled and replied: "Thank you, you're really early."

"No way, I have to go to work later!"

Uncle Li stood up with red eyes. It seemed that he must have stayed up late last night, but he was very excited and didn't look tired at all.

Xu Dong handed the thermos to Section Chief Li: "Uncle Li, I asked my family to make some fish soup for my aunt. Please let her drink more."

"That's thoughtful."

After Section Chief Li took the thermos, he immediately poured a bowl of fish soup for his wife. Aunt Li tasted it and said it was delicious. Then she drank two bowls in a row with a good appetite.

Xu's mother was very good at making fish soup. It was very fragrant, which attracted the attention of several mothers next door.

Xu Dong came to the incubator. The baby was sleeping soundly and looked very well-behaved.

After drinking the fish soup, Section Chief Li pulled Xu Dong aside.

"Xiao Xu, can you get baby formula here? Your aunt is not enough milk."

Xu Dong smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Li, I can only get stage 3 milk powder. As for stage 1 and stage 2 milk powder, there is really no way. The milk powder I gave to Director Cao was also stage 3."

"Is that so? Then I'll ask the doctor what he said later." Section Chief Li was a little disappointed.
