My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 217 Birth (1)

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

Xiaoma holds the mouse and switches between different pictures of the interior of the house, which cannot be seen on the official website.

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

Xiao Ma took a look at the house price. The bid was 1860 million, and the 372% down payment was [-] million, which was just within the affordable range of their family.

So he nodded: "Then choose this one, if it doesn't work, we'll change it."

Half an hour later, Xiao Ma and his wife walked out of the gate of the Housing Administration. The house has been booked, and the next step is to inspect the house. If they are satisfied, the transfer procedures can be completed within a week.

The reason why it is so fast is mainly because the loan procedures are very simple. As long as the account is correct and there is no criminal record, the success rate is basically [-]%.

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

In this way, real estate speculation is completely eliminated, and the distribution of housing according to needs is guaranteed to the greatest extent.

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

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

……

Back at Xu Dong's side, during lunch time, he went to the train station to pick up Ma Lingling and her brother. The summer vacation is not over yet, and they 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 of suffering at home.

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

Section Chief Li also just came back from the hospital. Aunt Li has already arrived at the time of labor, and the due date is just a few days away.

"Uncle Li, Auntie has made arrangements?"

"Everything is going well, just waiting for the baby to be born."

While Section Chief Li looked happy, there was also a little anxiety mixed in. After all, she was an older woman, so she could understand it.

"Uncle Li, let me say congratulations in advance. When the baby is born, I will definitely pack a big red envelope." Xu Dong laughed.

Section Chief Li waved his hand:

"The red envelope is free. The management is strict recently. We don't need to hit the muzzle of the gun. I will accept it."

With the implementation of the "housing reform", a new round of integrity storms has been set off from above. Section Chief Li is also a cunning old man and has always been very cautious.

Speaking of this, Xu Dong asked in a low voice: "Uncle Li, I heard that the higher authorities require cadres above the department level to hand over all real estate on their own initiative. On your side..."

"We are a public institution, and this matter has nothing to do with us. Of course, if you take the initiative to hand it in, it is also a political achievement. It seems that Mr. Liao and the others have handed it in. But you, Uncle Li, are about to retire, so you won't make this trip." It's water." Section Chief Li explained.

"You always understand people!"

"Hey, it's not just me, Director Cao didn't hand it in either. We're about the same age. If we hand it in, it's a real loss. In the end, we won't get anything." Section Chief Li sighed.

Xu Dong picked up the thermos and filled Section Chief Li's cup with water: "Uncle Li, Xiao Xiang is about to give birth too, should we go and have a look?"

"No need, let's talk about it after the baby is born! I made an agreement with Lao He, and the two families will have a full moon wine together at that time, which will save you an extra trip."

"That's a good idea, it will be more lively if there are more people."

Section Chief Li was about to speak when the phone rang suddenly. He picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID, his face suddenly became tense.

"Yes, I am."

"What, it's about to give birth? Okay, I'll come right over."

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

"No problem, Uncle Li, I'll wait for you at the south gate."

"Okay, I'll give Director Cao a call and I'll be here right away." Section Chief Li nodded.

Half an hour later, the hospital arrived.

Section Chief Li got out of the car and went straight to the obstetrics and gynecology department. Xu Dong had to go back to help the other party look after the work, so he went back directly.

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

As a result, not long after returning home, he received a call from Section Chief Li. The child had been born, a boy, and the whole process went extremely smoothly.

Section Chief Li happily sent a red envelope of 10,000 yuan in the group. Xu Dong was lucky. Together, he grabbed a total of more than 2800 yuan, second only to Lao Fang's 3100 yuan.

"Honey, what are you looking at? You're smiling so obscenely, the food is going to be cold." Yang Lina reminded.

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

"How much? Your Section Chief Li is really generous."

"2800 yuan, this month's gas money is saved."

"Look at you, I'm going to give you a gift for the section chief later. The 2800 yuan may not be enough!" Yang Lina said angrily.

Xu Dong took a bite of the rice, then shook his head: "This time, there is no need to send red envelopes. The authorities are very strict. You can prepare a gift for me tomorrow, and I'll just send it over."

"To eat, or to use?"

"Uh, let's eat. Take eighteen eggs and add two catties of fish, it should be enough." Xu Dong thought for a while and said.

These things add up to about [-] yuan, which is really not a small amount.

"Why don't you send fish soup directly, because the wife has a baby and doesn't have time to make soup." Yang Lina suggested.

"It's okay, let mom make the fish soup thicker, and the fish soup will promote milk."

Yang Lina glanced at her husband: "You don't need to say, none of us are more experienced than you."

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

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

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

Aunt Li replied with a smile: "Thank you, it's really early for you to come here."

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

Uncle Li stood up, his eyes were red, it seemed that he must have stayed up late last night, but the other party was very energetic, and there was no trace of fatigue.

Xu Dong handed the thermos to Section Chief Li: "Uncle Li, I asked my family to boil some fish soup for my aunt, and you can ask my aunt to drink more."

"Have a heart."

After taking over the thermos, Section Chief Li immediately poured a bowl of fish soup for his wife. Aunt Li took a sip and said it was delicious, and then drank two bowls in a row with a great appetite.

Xu's mother is very good at making fish soup, which is very fragrant, which makes the pregnant women next door look sideways.

Xu Dong came to the incubator, and the baby was sleeping soundly, looking very good.

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

"Xiao Xu, can you still get baby milk powder here? Your aunt's milk is not enough."

Xu Dong smiled wryly and said, "Uncle Li, I can only get third-stage milk powder. As for first-stage and second-stage milk powder, there is really no way. The milk powder I gave to Director Cao is also three-stage milk powder."

"That's it, then I'll go back and ask the doctor what he said." Section Chief Li was a little disappointed.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
