Chapter 498: Settlement

Han Li was thinking about this while decomposing various medicinal materials into different shapes according to needs. He had done these things so many times that he could do them subconsciously without thinking.

However, when he was halfway through, he suddenly slapped his forehead and quickly took out the incense beads that he had just put into the decomposition space to continue drying in the shade.

These little things are really cumbersome to make. Not only do they need to be made according to each person's physical and mental conditions, but they also need to be beaten and tanned thousands of times to look good and be durable. This is much more troublesome than making "stretching pain relief cream".

Han Li decided that unless his family members corrupted the incense beads in the future, he really didn't want to make incense beads again.

In the evening, after Han Li returned home, he whispered to his mother about the courtyard house. Before he finished speaking, his mother exclaimed. There was no way this was really a bit surprising. You know, she has been working in the street office for many years and knows too much about the current situation of the house.

Starting from September and October 1963, the state began to implement unified management of housing, unified rules and regulations, unified rental standards, unified allocation, unified maintenance and unified construction.

However, only government agencies, large enterprises and institutions, and defense departments were able to build houses in recent years, and they were still those tube-shaped buildings, half-sided buildings, and simple unit buildings with very few data.

So living in a tube-shaped building or half-sided building these days is a symbol of superiority, indicating that the unit is large, the welfare is good, and it is a key unit. As for the simple unit building, it is the best of the best.

As for the others, most of them were allocated in old houses and courtyards from the Qing and Republic periods, and a symbolic part of the rent was collected, and the rent was waived for the disabled and the elderly who were unable to afford it.

When this group of people were allocated houses in Mianhua Hutong, everyone rushed to grab the courtyard houses, because there were once bannermen’s houses there. Not only was the quality of the house better and it was decent to live in, but it also gave those people a feeling of flying up the branches and turning over the world.

Han's father was holding the eldest daughter, and Han's mother was about to give birth with the second daughter. They chose the two houses without fighting, and they became what they are now with their own expansion.

If at the beginning, everyone could get a share of the house regardless of size or quality, but later, as the population of the city increased, people used various backdoors, connections, and even fought to get a small house.

Some time ago, Han's mother saw relevant statistics at work. Now the per capita housing area in cities across the country is less than 4 square meters. At that time, she was still clear-headed. Han's father chose two bungalows that no one fought for, so that their family can live a little more spaciously than others.

But she didn't expect that her son would bring her such good news today. She had been to that courtyard twice when her son was making medicine. It was a courtyard with a single door and a single family next to the lake, and it was not adjacent to other courtyards. It couldn't be better.

"What?"

Han Li nodded lightly, and Han's mother hurriedly pulled him into the house to ask about the situation in detail.

After Han's mother got her son's confirmation again, she began to walk around the room in confusion, and it took a long time before she spoke earnestly.

"Son, you must keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone, not even your sister or younger sister."

"Mom, I understand if you don't tell outsiders, because there are too many people in this world who don't like you, but why can't you tell your sister or younger sister, they are our own family members?"

"If you get married now, you don't have to hide it from them, but if you don't get married, you have to hide it, this is also to reduce conflicts between you in the future."

"What's the situation?"

"Let's not talk about the distant things first. You know what the situation is like in Dai Jingan's house. To put it nicely, there are three houses, but the largest one is occupied by his eldest brother, and now his parents live in the small one left.

Even if you set a date, if you are lucky, your eldest sister can live in that small house that is so suffocating that a cat will die. If you are unlucky, you can only squeeze into the big house with Dai Jingan's eldest brother and sister-in-law.

At this time, if everyone knows that you have such a house, and your eldest sister or Dai Jingan asks for it, will you lend it to them? If you don't lend it, it will hurt the relationship between you and your brother.

But once you lend it out, wait for you It will be too difficult to get it back when you need it for marriage. Even if your mother is holding you back, how much affection will be left between you two siblings?

There is also your second sister behind you. Who knows what her situation is like? What if she is also facing the same situation? You lend it to your eldest sister but not to your second sister? So it is best not to let these girls know now.

Your mother knows the situation of houses in Sijiu City better than you do. There are so many families with three generations squeezed in one room. When sleeping, a curtain is considered a wall, and a fart can go around three times in the room.

Still borrowing a house? Your mother has seen too many things that are easy to invite gods and difficult to send them away in the street office over the years, and has dealt with countless such disputes, so you just do what I say.

And it is right for these girls to take care of you. How can you take care of them in return? Isn't this a mess? Don't have such thoughts before you can live your own life, do you hear me? "

Han Li knew that his mother's concerns were right, but he would have plenty of opportunities to help his family in the future, so he was not in a hurry now.

"Well, when I finish this batch of ointment, I will give you the key to the house. After I return to the Northeast, you can go there for a walk if you have time, but don't change the lock yet."

When Han Li mentioned that he was going back to the Northeast, his mother became a little unhappy. When he saw this, he quickly changed the topic to Sister Han. The mother and son talked about related matters for a while before heading to the master's house.

In the next two days, Han Li first took out the dried fragrant beads and asked Sister Yun to buy some red ropes to tie them together. Each family member had one. Even if they didn't smell the scent of these fragrant beads, they would never smell it. You can tell them almost by color and shape.

As for those wealthy fragrant beads, Han Li asked Sister Yun to collect them and ask them to give them to his people when the time comes.

Han Li didn't care who he gave it to, but in their current situation, they could only give it to a few people in Shanghe Village. Among them, He Mi, their usual friend and the person who was now looking after their house, was the most qualified to receive this gift.

March 10, 1975, the year of Yimao in the lunar calendar, the month of Jimao and the day of Yimao, the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month.

Han Li made arrangements for his master early this morning. Instead of going to the courtyard near Haizi to continue making medicine, he came directly home because today was the day when Sister Han and Dai Jing'an were engaged.

Yesterday, Dai Jing'an and matchmaker Fan Xiuhong came over to discuss the simple process with Han's father and Han's mother. In this era, everything is simple, whether it is engagement or marriage, it cannot be simpler.

The betrothal gifts at this time were also quite simple. They were nothing more than tea leaves, snack boxes, clothes and the like. The Han family just followed the crowd and asked for a small amount of betrothal gifts. If they didn’t use any of the betrothal gifts, the neighbors would have objections and would say that their family was doing everyone a favor. It's blocked.

So today the matchmaker went to Dai Jing'an first, and then the two of them came together with the betrothal gift and betrothal gift.

Everything was discussed yesterday, and today is just a process and a formality.

After everyone exchanged some simple politeness, they went to the hotel. This is also a necessary process for relatives of both parties to meet and get to know each other.

Otherwise, it would be a joke if one day we bump into each other on the street and neither of them can recognize each other as in-laws.

When the Han family, Dai Jing'an, and matchmaker Fan Xiuhong arrived, Dai Jing'an's family was already waiting at the door of the hotel.

Han Li met Dai Jing'an's family this time. After an introduction by the matchmaker Fan Xiuhong, everyone greeted them politely and sat down.

The first impression Dai Jing'an's parents gave Han Li was not bad. They didn't seem to be the kind of harsh people, but they couldn't tell whether they were sensible or partial.

Brother Dai Jing'an rarely spoke at the side, and his sister-in-law could not stand it at first glance. Although she had a smile on her face, it was very forced, especially her unwilling and defensive look. Anyone here who is not blind can do it. figure it out.

Dai Jing'an's eldest sister, Dai Yunxia, ​​was greeting the Han family throughout the whole process. She seemed to be a relatively cheerful person, but her current attitude has completely replaced her sister-in-law's work. This is the most embarrassing thing for a sister-in-law who has to take care of her mother's family affairs when she goes out. People have headaches.

Brother-in-law Dai Jing'an is a talkative person, and I heard him brag several times not long after I entered the house.

As for Dai Jing'an's sister from the martial arts sect, she just went to the countryside last year to join the team. She can't come back this year, so there is no sign of her at the dinner table.

The dinner table was originally sunny and sunny, and the two families were talking happily. However, at this moment, Dai Jing'an's sister-in-law said something weird and strange in her mind.

"It's great that Jing'an is getting married. After my younger brother and sister get married, someone will finally be able to help me share some of the household chores. But my younger brother is about to get married, so from now on, we don't have to hand over the salary of that person in our family? "

The others just smiled slightly when they heard her first two words. What kind of girl doesn't work when she gets married? It's her duty to cook and clean housework. But after her next two words, the dinner table fell silent.

After hearing this, Han Li had a smile on his lips. Is Dai Jing'an's sister-in-law going to break up the family? But it's better this way. With Sister-in-law Jing'an's way of doing things, she will definitely save a lot of trouble after the eldest sister gets married and separates the family.

The people at the scene were stunned for a moment, but Dai Jingan stopped immediately. He slammed the table and pointed at his sister-in-law and said angrily.

"Lou Fengxia, am I usually too disrespectful to you, so you think I'm easy to bully? Apologize to me immediately, or else I'll sue you and we won't be able to finish this matter today."

Then Dai Jing'an's eldest sister, Dai Yunxia, ​​also started to scold her sister-in-law. Dai's parents had not said anything at this time, but Lou Fengxia stopped. She grabbed her man's arm and said.

"Dai Jingping, what did I say about me? Look at what your brother and sister said about me. They don't regard me as their sister-in-law at all. You should give me a fair word."

The expressions on the faces of the Han family were very ugly at this moment. What did they take today's incident to be? The second sister and the younger sister even pulled the eldest sister to leave.

At this time, the matchmaker next to her, Fan Xiuhong, quit her job. The reason why she was able to talk about this matchmaker was that, firstly, she was a clerk in the sub-district office of Lanmian Hutong, and secondly, she met Han’s mother during a meeting in the district. In addition, this Neighboring street offices often interact with each other and are familiar with each other.

When Fan Xiuhong first started working as a matchmaker, she introduced the situation of the Dai family in more detail. She also talked about the situation of Lou Fengxia, the daughter-in-law of Dai Jingping, the boss of the Dai family.

But at this moment, it is just a minor engagement, and even the wedding date has not been set. The parents of both sides are still in the stage of getting to know each other for the first time. If Lou Fengxia said something like splitting up the family in this situation, it would be a slap in her face.

She first pulled Han Xiaomei's arm, gave Han Ma an apologetic look, and then looked at Dai Jingan's parents with a cold face and said.

"Hehehe, old Dai, you two, tell me now, who has the final say in your family."
