Taxi at night

Chapter 209 Godmother is Coming

Lu Ren had long forgotten the name of Zhang Jia's husband, but he only remembered that he was a middle-aged man with a simple and honest demeanor who always smiled.When he was hospitalized last year, Lu Ren went to visit him. He sat for an hour and talked happily. He felt like a handsome man. It was the first long-term contact between the two of them.

"You don't know? If our family is stubborn, he will be very angry. This time, the shantytown renovation, it was agreed that one household would be replaced by one house, which would be about eighty or ninety square meters... What I mean, I'll make up for it later. For a little money, buy a bigger one, at least more than 100 square meters." Zhang Jia said angrily, "It's good for him, he insisted on that small house, and signed it secretly without telling me... driving me mad!"

It turned out to be about the house.Lu Ren knew that starting from this year, the city began to renovate the shantytowns on a large scale. The area where Zhang Jia lived was honored to be the first batch of remodeled places. To be honest, this is a project that benefits the people and is very popular among the working class. Welcome.

Lu Ren still agreed with Zhang Jia's approach. Obviously, buying a house now is definitely much cheaper than ten years later, not to mention there are preferential subsidies in the city, it is very cost-effective to buy a little more square footage.

"I agree with you. I don't believe your husband doesn't see the good in it. Why object?"

"Isn't there no money? The extra part is about 1200 per square meter, and 30 yuan is needed for 36000 square meters, so my husband is very opposed." Zhang Jia sighed. This is equivalent to her one-year salary. The whole family was injured, and the monthly subsidy was only a few hundred yuan. The family of three completely depended on her salary alone, and there was indeed tremendous pressure.

"Can't you repent after signing?" Lu Ren couldn't figure out what was going on here, so he asked Zhang Jia like this.

"Who knows? I'll find a chance to ask today and find a way to change it back." Zhang Jia glanced at the boss and made up his mind.

Lu Ren didn't say a word, it was hard to answer, Yao Qin had already promised 10 yuan, Zhang Jia was asking for a loan, and got another 5 to [-] yuan, he didn't have a bank at home, so he might be helpless.

Zhang Jia sent Lu Ren home. Lu Ren walked upstairs slowly and bumped into Teacher Zhou Yuren. This guy was dressed like a dog and was walking downstairs with a gift.

"Hey, Mr. Zhou, what are you doing?" Based on his intuition, Lu Ren felt that this guy should be looking for him... no, he was looking for Tang Xue.

"Brother Lu, you're finally back. Why can't I get through when I call you? I'm going downstairs to wait for you!" Teacher Zhou finally saw himself with a relieved expression on his face.

Lu Ren also looked confused, how is this possible?My mobile phone is on standby 24 hours a day, why can't I get through?He hurriedly took out his mobile phone to have a look, and it turned off automatically at some point, no wonder he didn't receive a call from Zhou Yuren.

"Look, the battery is out." Lu Ren shook his phone, led Teacher Zhou upstairs, and asked as he walked, "Today isn't Sunday, so why come to the city when you have time?"

"I specially adjusted the class today. I came here to pay my respects to my sister-in-law. Of course, there is also Tang Xue... Uh, Teacher Tang, are you not at home today?" Lu Ren didn't think he had a lot of face, it was worth Zhou Yuren running dozens of kilometers to come and see Own.

"Xiaoxue is staying at the school and will come back on Sunday. Come and sit in the house, we two brothers have a good chat."

The two came to the fifth floor and entered the room. Zhou Yuren put the gift in his hand on the table and said with a smile, "Brother Lu, you kept the matter of Mr. Tang's transfer very tight. When I found out, I was shocked. How did this person leave? He didn’t even say hello.”

"It's not to hide it sincerely, because the matter has not been finalized, and some things are hard to say. Mr. Zhou, if there is no class in the afternoon, you can eat at home at noon. It's just that my craftsmanship is not good, so I'm afraid I will treat you slowly."

"Look at what you said, as long as you have a bowl to eat, I'm not picky. Besides, I'm afraid I can't do as well as you do?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and sat down respectively.Coincidentally, before Lu Ren sat still, the landline in the living room beeped, and someone called.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

"Xiao Lu? I'm godmother, is Xiaoxue here?" Lu Ren quickly sat up straight, glanced at Zhou Yuren, and quickly replied, "Godmother, happy new year! Where's godfather? Say hello for me."

Zhou Yuren's eyes lit up, he moved his body towards Lu Ren, and listened quietly.

"Both of us are fine. In two days, your godfather and I are planning to go there. You prepare the house and plan to live there for two days."

"Okay! Everyone just got together. It's a pity that Tan Rui didn't come back, otherwise it would be more lively. Godmother, when are you coming?"

"This Sunday! Xiaoxue is also free. Let her cook for us. Didn't the godmother say you? The food you cook is really bad." The godmother laughed on the phone. Ever since she learned Lu Ren's cooking skills, After that, almost no one was willing to try it a second time, and even the best things were ruined by Lu Ren.

"Shibie will look at you with admiration for three days, godmother, can't you look at people with old eyes!" Lu Ren boasted to himself, squinting to see Zhou Yuren's disdainful expression.

"Oh, it's really improved! Then I really want to try it." The godmother believed it, and Lu Ren hurriedly changed his words and said, "I'm just kidding, but don't worry, Xiaoxue won't be free at that time. I'll ask the chef to come over and help me. You ate to your heart's content, and you still think about coming again next time."

"Let me just say, where do you have time to study recipes?"

The two chatted and laughed for a while, then hung up the phone.Zhou Yuren hurried over and said, "Is it Xiaoxue's mother?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? You think I'm addicted to worshiping godmothers, and everyone recognizes godmothers!" Lu Ren gave Zhou Yuren a white look, and the latter smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm going to go fishing this week, and it seems that I need to make some changes...Brother Lu, don't mind having an extra pair of chopsticks then!" Zhou Yuren's heart moved, his eyes were starry, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Oh...Of course I don't mind," Lu Ren said with a smile, while busy charging his phone, he said thoughtfully, "This is a family feast, it's best to tell Xiaoxue, that girl has a weird temper now, Don't let her scare you then."

"Of course, of course we have to say this." Zhou Yuren nodded repeatedly, like pounding garlic.

Zhou Yuren came up to pay New Year's greetings with presents, so of course he couldn't be careless. Lu Ren opened the refrigerator and checked. They were all old frozen meat, and there was no fresh meat. Dish, you wait at home for a while."

"Brother Lu, I'm not an outsider, so what to do with what's in the refrigerator doesn't need to be so troublesome."

"How can that work? Besides, I also want to eat something else." As soon as the voice fell, footsteps came from outside the door, and then there was a knock on the door: "Fatty, are you at home? Can you borrow your motorcycle?" I use it, I got up a little late today, and the boss called home to remind me."

Gao Liumei's crisp voice came from outside the door, Lu Ren checked the time, hey, it's almost nine o'clock, this single woman is not at work yet, no wonder the boss called to remind her.
