Fireworks World(5)

There are two reasons why we chose the house on the first floor. The first is that the house we chose now has made a good expansion on the original house. On the first floor, they opened the balcony through a door gap and extended it outwards.

A distance of more than two meters wide was added, and then it was covered with blue bricks and lime, with a cement board roof on top, just like a formal house was built. The original balcony became a suite.

That floor is the inner room, and the original balcony has become the outer room. Between the two floors and the living room, there are layers of glass windows and doors, which provide good lighting. Don’t underestimate this extra space.

, that’s of great use. There are many children at home, and there are also elderly people. If the elderly want to live here for a few days, don’t they have a house? Secondly, considering the elderly’s entry and exit, now Yinqi’s place

I live on the fourth floor. Old men and women are used to going upstairs, which is fine. But in fact, for the elderly, going upstairs is a burden. It is different on the first floor. After entering the unit, you only have to go up three steps. This step

It's easier to deal with. We can customize an iron plate and put it on the steps to form a slope. If you want the slope to be gentler and easier to go up and down, just make the iron plate longer. Then put a carpet on top, which is very non-slip. Yes.

When your legs and feet are bad, this place can save you a lot of effort. Some elderly people are paralyzed at home, and their children have nothing to do because they live high up. Even if they want to get a wheelchair, this wheelchair can't go downstairs.

The buildings at this time are all five or six stories high. Some units are really tight for housing, and there are also seven-story buildings. But there are really no buildings no matter how high they are, and there is no elevator to go up and down. You just have to climb back and forth. Such buildings are stretched back three or four times.

Ten years later, it is still common in cities.

In addition, this was originally the house of the deputy director who resigned, and he was probably keeping it for himself at the time. The other six houses were all occupied by relatives, but this one has always been empty. It is well decorated inside, with tiled floors.

The house is paved, the walls are painted white, there is a toilet in the bathroom, and the walls are all tiles. The guy has been working as the deputy director for a year. The house has been renovated, and he seems to have lived there for only a few days. It has been like this.

Leave it.

Once you move in, you only need to clean it, and it will look very clean. Although the walls are not as white as the freshly painted ones, it does not affect your stay. The three girls live in the big bedroom, and the fourth master went to the furniture factory to make a custom-made canopy bed.

, all four are exactly the same. Just like the dormitories of later generations, with a desk below and a bed above, each also has a wardrobe. The stairs up and down are in the style of drawers, which can store some odds and ends. Everyone's

The beds are all equipped with curtains with zippers to give them as much private space as possible.

The outer room of the balcony where the cause and effect lives is also a canopy bed. The space in this place is smaller. People live on it, which saves the entire space below.

They built a room outside the balcony called the balcony, and built a sofa bed in it. If the elderly don't come to live, it can be a sofa on the balcony. You can use it in any way. If the elderly come to live, the sofa can be put down to become a bed.

As for the place to dry clothes, it is not on the balcony at home. When they were building a roof outside the balcony, they thought of it. The eaves extended half a meter downwards, and wires were stretched. They stretched out their hands from the window in the balcony to hang the clothes.

I hung it up to dry outside the house while it was still damp inside.

In the early years when the factory was very profitable, every home had a washing machine. But there were no double-tubs at that time. In the past two years, there have been double-tubs, but the economic conditions are not good, so few people in the factory buy them. But like

It's from Lin Yuzhi's family. It was used at home as soon as it appeared on the market.

I also bought one this time, but it couldn’t fit in the bathroom, so I put it in the kitchen.

As for the bathroom, a shower has been added. Electric water heaters are rarely seen on the market today, and gas water heaters are now used. Natural gas has not yet been introduced into households, at least not in my community now. All gas water heaters are used.

Angry. Since there is a shower in the factory, few other houses in the factory have this installed. But the Fourth Master installed it all.

Actually, there is nothing inconvenient about going to the bathhouse, but the main reason is that I can't stand the sister-in-law there.

Every time the children came back, she said loudly: "I don't need money, so why don't I come and work harder..." It seems that the children don't care about hygiene. She also specially preached that they don't need money.

Whenever you meet an acquaintance, you will say that you have trouble taking care of your sister-in-law.

Anyway, she just had a bad mouth, and there was nothing left to say about things that were supposed to be merciful. The children didn't like her even more.

Then just don't go there and wash it at home.

It's easy to clean up, and you can move in within a week's travel time.

The old man moved into my original house, so he stopped cleaning up the house there. At the same time, he could help me take care of the yard next door.

As soon as we moved there, it was inevitable that the family would hold a banquet to entertain guests.

It can be considered a housewarming after all.

All the relatives came, and nothing else was prepared, just hot pot, two tables, and the alcohol stove was lit, and they all ate the same thing.

After preparing a place, of course I had to ask the Yin family: "...If it's difficult to go up and downstairs, live here. I chose this place just for the convenience of the two elders."

The old man was surprised, but the child would have said this.

Karma also said: "Grandpa, come live here, we can live inside and outside."

Because there is only one boy in the family, Karma. The old man seems to love him. He even dreams about living with his grandson.

But no!

Life for the eldest son's family has become difficult. Because the younger son disposed of a batch of cloth, the factory gave each person dozens of dollars more this month, but it was of no use. As soon as the children started school, many people gave them to their children.

We can't even collect the tuition fees. After all, this is a children's school, and we only ask our children to go first. We still owe the tuition fees. When will the factory pay wages and make up for the tuition fees? My eldest daughter-in-law doesn't want her children to suffer that.

I rolled my eyes and gritted my teeth.

But of that money, fifty was secretly given to the eldest daughter-in-law by her old wife.

The younger son's life has improved since last year. He gave his parents one hundred yuan a month, and the same goes for the Lin family. Now the one hundred yuan can be put to good use. At least the old couple has enough to eat and drink.

.Before the Chinese New Year, my younger daughter-in-law gave me two Chinese New Year clothes, shoes and socks, and also gave me two hundred yuan, saying that during the Chinese New Year, I was not allowed to give the children lucky money, and my parents would keep this money.

To be honest, the retirement salary of the old couple has been collected by the eldest son since the end of last year. In the past, they had to take care of the younger son, and the couple's money can be subsidized to some extent. Now the younger son does not need anyone to take care of him.

The eldest son and his wife are both employees in the factory. One cannot get paid, and neither can get paid. The money for the children's extra classes during the winter vacation was borrowed from the eldest daughter-in-law when she returned to her parents' home. The retirement salary of the old couple is not much.

, but for the current eldest couple, it is an important amount of money.

You can't live with your younger son while the money is subsidized to your older son's family.

This is absolutely not possible.

Uncle Yin quickly shook his head: "Your mother and I happened to be exercising. We don't find it difficult to climb stairs every day. I just did it with your brother and stopped going back and forth."

Okay, if you don’t want to live here, you won’t live here.

The fourth master bought three more color TV sets. One for the elderly on both sides, and one for himself.

In the past, the family used a second-hand black-and-white TV, which mostly had snowflakes and could not see clearly. Even Yinqi's house and the Lin family's house were all black-and-white. Nowadays, color TVs are placed in the living room and black-and-white ones are placed in the bedrooms. The old people like them.

Everyone knows that Fourth Master has made money, and now he is also trembling.

It was so powerful that many people didn't even come back to their senses.

Not to mention other people, even my own relatives, many of them don't understand the inner workings. But when they get together, most of them are nice and obedient. They must have earned their money based on their own abilities.

But for example, the sister-in-law of the Lin family likes to find a balance. For example, there are so many people. She asked her children: "... Now that I have transferred to a good school, I have to study hard in a good school. I have to hurry up." They also asked why and yinwei.

: "How many students did you take the exam at the end of the semester?"

I’ve already asked this question once during the Chinese New Year, and now I’m asking it again.

Why did she get ranked among the top 12 in the class but not among the top ten? But for a child who was always hovering between forty and forty-five among the sixty-two students in her class in the past two months,

In time, I progressed to 12th place, which is actually a pretty good result.

And Yinwei, who used to be hovering between tenth and fifteenth, is now ranked seventh in the class, which is not bad. The progress does not seem to be as great as Yinhe, but the higher the ranking is, the more you want to surpass that.

The harder each step gets, the more difficult it is. At any rate, I am still in the top ten in the class.

Fourth Master and Lin Yutong were both very satisfied and even gave each of them a Walkman as a reward during the Chinese New Year.

But Mrs. Lin asked the child again, and when she mentioned her grades, she said again: "It's not my aunt who said you, your grades are not good. Your parents spent so much money to hire tutors for you, but your grades are not good."

I feel a little sorry for the money. Look at you, Sister Yanyan, you came second in the class this time and you came back crying like you didn’t do well in the exam..."

Lin Yan was taking ham out of the pot to eat. She frowned when she heard this: "Mom, what are you talking about?" Why is it so annoying to eat people and talk about them like that?

Anyway, Sister-in-law Lin finished showing off her girl and complimented Sister-in-law Yin: "And your Lijun also did well in the exam this time."

Because my sister-in-law is more reserved: "What a good thing! It's still the same. The top three in the class have been changed back and forth. This time, the ranking in the grade is a few places higher, and she has entered the top thirty in the grade."

"Our grade is ranked 18th." Mrs. Lin quickly said this, successfully silencing the Yin family's sister-in-law.

Your family has entered the top 30, and mine has entered the top 20, but they are still not as good as my children.

Lin Yutong: "..." My family ranked ninety-nine after the fiftieth grade but before the sixty grade. This time, we barely made it into the top 100 list.

There are rankings for each exam, and there are many students. The top 100 are written on red paper and posted at the school gate. The parents are factory employees, and everyone who comes in and out can see it.

For the first time, she felt so disgusted with the parents of the show-off academics!

What's the matter? Isn't it just a matter of studying better? It's only the first year of junior high school, so what's the big deal?

She was complaining unhappily, but she still had to look at her two children who her aunt said wanted to bury their faces in a bowl.

If you keep talking, the baby will cry.

After they left, Yin Wei exploded first: "Did I spend her money or eat her food?" She was very unhappy!

But there is always a shortage of such people, so her father said: "Listen to what they say, my father is willing to spend money on my daughter. My daughter can learn easily and not tiresomely. They have to stay up until around twelve o'clock in the evening."

, we went to bed as soon as 9:30 p.m. Dad spent money not because he was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to keep up. My daughter is not stupid, but she is also down-to-earth and studious, so why can’t she keep up? We can just find an easy way, and the teacher will help.

With the guidance, it will be easy for you to learn. With the little time you save, let’s go to bed early at night and learn painting and music on the weekends. There is a swimming pool over there at the sports academy. When the summer vacation comes, all four of you will go and learn. Let’s

Comprehensive and balanced development. We have to take a long-term view, and test scores are a reference. We don’t judge heroes based on scores.”

Children love to hear this. No child likes to be asked about his grades.

Karma still put it aside and nodded: "My grandma said that she has to cook a bowl of noodles for my sister Lijun at ten o'clock in the evening. She said she won't go to bed until twelve thirty at night..."

They went to bed early by then.

Then the children regained their balance, but they all consciously extended their study time by an hour in the evening and did some extracurricular topics before going to bed.
