Chapter 69 Rent a House
On the day they received their transcripts, Mei Qiuping and Feng Yiping went to the school together.
Feng Yiping accompanied her to Lin Hui's house first. This year, he did not disturb her house less. The two mothers seem to have a lot to talk about. Fortunately, Teacher Wang is probably quite busy now, so it's not bad for a while.
Wang Yumin is really busy, not only her, but also the head teacher is busy all day. The comments on the report card, which are for parents to see, are all clichés. Even if the classmates were the worst performers in the class, and the classmates she was most dissatisfied with, the comments were, "This student respects the teacher, unites with the classmates, studies seriously, and loves labor".
Therefore, every student who receives the transcript must say a few words, evaluate the grades, summarize the previous semester, look forward to the next semester, and also remind a few words, don't just remember to play in the summer vacation.
In addition, all kinds of things confiscated this semester will also be returned to everyone. There are now piles on her desk. A lot of books, a few pairs of table tennis rackets, a few pairs of chess and military chess, a broken basketball, a water gun, a calculator... There are many kinds.
When the things are returned, I have to say a few words, "Don't do this next time" and so on. In short, after a morning, the report card is almost issued, and my throat is about to smoke.
Feng Yiping was the last to pick up the report card. When we met, Mei Qiuping respected Wang Yumin very much, and Wang Yumin was also very polite to her.
Feng Yiping was very proud of them. The final exam results this time were similar to last time. The grade was first, and the county tied for second place, but the score was narrowed to only three points behind the first place.
The first place is the county experimental middle school. Many teachers in their school participate in the marking, which has an irreplaceable advantage.
Mei Qiuping praised the teacher, and the teacher praised her son. After being polite for a long time, Mei Qiuping said that she wanted Feng Yiping to stop living on campus from the next semester.
Seeing Feng Yiping beside him, the smile on Wang Yumin's face suddenly stopped, "You are not at home, so let Feng Yiping live outside, is that okay?"
Mei Qiuping gave Feng Yiping a stern look, "Mr. Wang, I know you are thinking of him. From childhood to adulthood, Yiping has been honest and sensible, never let adults worry, he lives alone. , and they can't do anything bad. You also know that it is time for them to grow up. They live outside, and occasionally they can cook a delicious meal, which is better nourished and more vigorous in learning. "
In fact, there is another very important point. Of course, Mei Qiuping heard Feng Yiping talk about it and knew that the walls of her son's bedroom were cracked, but it was not easy to say this to the teacher.
Wang Yumin was noncommittal about these reasons, and then asked, "Do you live in Lin Hui's house?"
Mei Qiuping said, "No, we're going to look for it in the village."
"Looking for it in the village? Lin Hui's house is pretty good too, it's so close to the school."
Mei Qiuping said, "We originally thought so," she said, and waved to Feng Yiping, "You go out first, and I will talk to Teacher Wang."
Feng Yiping went out with a low eyebrow, he knew what his mother was going to say next. He was lying on the railing on the second floor, looking at the scenery leisurely.
The sun was blazing hot, and it seemed that there was steam rising from the ground of the playground, and I felt that the breath I exhaled was also hot. Occasionally blowing past, the leaves of the plane tree clapped, and the shade on the ground danced along with it.
Zhi called one after another, over there, in the third-grade classroom, the second-grade students who will not be officially promoted to the third-grade until the start of the school are in class, and the teacher's lecture can be vaguely heard.
All this is so peaceful and familiar.
Some students who received their transcripts were still staying in the school, and some of them were not paying attention and made loud noises. Immediately, a teacher came out of the classroom with chalk in one hand and a blackboard eraser in the other, "What's the noise, no? See you're still in class?"
The classmates who were trained suddenly looked like quails.
Feng Yiping looked at it and smiled unkindly.
After a while, he was called in from the inside, and the two adults seemed to have already talked. Wang Yumin said to him solemnly, "Feng Yiping, your mother is also there. In front of her, you promise us that you will never study in the future. I won’t go backwards, and if I don’t get the first place in the monthly test, I’ll go back to school immediately!”
"Ah?" Hearing this, Feng Yiping felt a little bitter in his heart. Teacher Wang would really seize the opportunity to threaten, but at this time, he had to agree if he didn't agree, otherwise how could he make his mother feel at ease.
"I promise!" he said firmly.
"That's good." Wang Yumin got up and prepared to send them out. Feng Yiping added at this time, "Mr. Wang, if I get sick during an exam, such as a bad cold, it won't count."
When Wang Yumin thought about it, it was really possible, "We'll talk about it then, we'll consider it."
That's good, at least there is already a loophole to drill.
When parting, Wang Yumin asked, "Have you found the place yet?"
Mei Qiuping hesitated, "Not yet, I'll look for it in the next two days."
"Oh, then Feng Yiping, let me know when you're settled outside. I'll go take a look with you, Teacher Zhu."
"Okay, Mr. Wang, stay here." Feng Yiping said obediently.
Since his rebirth, in front of adults, he is used to pretending to be good, and now he has conditioned reflexes, but in the eyes of adults, he is really a good boy who is sensible.
The house has actually been found. As soon as Mei Qiuping came back, Feng Yiping urged her to look for a house. He was afraid that if the head teacher beat the drum, the parents who were not determined would take the opportunity to retreat or put him in Lin Hui's house, or put the house first. After renting, it is safe to go to the teacher.
The two uncles found acquaintances, and finally found a family in the township hospital dormitory building, which was quite satisfactory. The landlord and the Mei family could also have some kinship. It turned out to be the director of the township hospital office, and now he was transferred to the town hospital to be responsible for logistics.
Feng Yiping and the others went to see it. It was a small two-bedroom apartment with more than 60 square meters. Of course, it was an old house, but because it was a hospital building, it was clean and tidy, and the house was well maintained. The rent was 400 yuan a year.
There is no property fee, and water is free, but Feng Yiping insisted on redecorating the bathroom and kitchen. In addition, he later bought a gas stove, added a table, chairs, and a bed, which cost an additional two or three hundred yuan.
Although Mei Qiuping was generous to her son, she looked at the 100, 100, and 100 payment of the money. Her expression was so tangled! Feng Yiping looked at it, alas, he was filled with emotion, and his heart was heavy.
A person who takes money as her life, spends a lot of money that she could not spend for your request, how much she must love you!
However, Feng Yiping had to insist on this requirement, especially as a psychologically mature person, he urgently needed his own space. At the same time, although this requirement will cost extra, the money is still within the range of everyone.
The grandfather took two uncles, plus Feng Yiping and his mother, and five people dispatched at the same time. It took a week to get the house finished according to Feng Yiping's wishes. Except for re-laying the pipes, the work with technical requirements must be done by someone, and the rest are all done by everyone.
The room after cleaning is not even a decoration, but the windows are bright and clean, clean and tidy.
Because the glass has been replaced, and the few pieces of furniture are newly bought, of course, the windows are clean.
As for dryness and tidyness, the walls and floors have been resurfaced. People have not lived in yet, and there is no mess like in the daily home. Of course, it is said to be dry and tidy.
According to Feng Yiping's request, the kitchen and bathroom were the key points of the renovation. The floor was covered with floor tiles. He originally wanted to put tiles on the walls of these two places, but was unanimously rejected by everyone. Still laying? There is so much use.
In the kitchen, the stove and sink were newly repaired with cement, and tiles were also laid on them. The sanitary ware in the bathroom was replaced with new ones.
The original wall, the decoration was very rough, the rough embryo was scratched, some plaster was used to level it, and then a layer of lime was directly brushed. This time, I scratched it again, and approved two or three times of putty. Some protruding areas were polished again, and a layer of latex paint was painted on it. In fact, it was very rough, but a few adults thought it was too fine. Uncle also said , he will do the same in the future when he builds a building.
On the last day, Mei Qiuping went to the town to get all the daily necessities, then bought some vegetables, started a business in the newly renovated house, and treated everyone with a meal.
After that, Mei Qiuping took Feng Yiping and went back to Feng's house for a few days. In the past few days, Mei Qiuping has not been idle. She has carefully looked at the fields on the mountain and the fruit trees beside the fields.
Under the bright sun, there are many people working in the fields. This year, there is a lot of rain, and there are more weeds in the fields. It takes more effort to weed the weeds than in previous years.
Seeing other people sweating like rain in the ground, she went from one place to another empty-handed. On the one hand, Mei Qiuping felt like she had passed away. At this time last year, she did the same; on the other hand, she suddenly felt a little Ashamed, he hurriedly accelerated his pace and hurried home.
On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, Feng Yiping and his mother lived at the grandfather's house.
The sixth day of June is also a very important festival in our country. Unlike other festivals, different regions give it different names and contents.
In some places, it is called the Washing and Sunning Festival. On the best day of the year, not only people take a bath, but also the kittens and dogs in the house. The clothes in the house are also washed and put out to dry. In some places, it is called the Hemiao Festival. You have to dance grass dragons in various villages and pray for a good harvest; in some places, it is called the Girl's Day, on which the married daughter is brought back to her parents' home...
In their case, June 6th is called "half year", which means that half of the year has passed. They attach great importance to it. There is even a saying that "half year" is greater than "year". After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it ranked third.
On this day, no matter how difficult the family is, they must find a way to make a delicious meal. In the evening, they celebrated the festival with the uncle's family. It was very lively and the food was very rich. Speaking of which, this is also the first time that Mei Qiuping has returned to her parents' home for the holidays since she was married at the age of nineteen.
Mei Jianzhong was very sighed when he said it. Back then, he was still a girl with two big braids, but now the children are so old.
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, she rested at her grandfather's house for a day. In the early morning of the eighth lunar month, Mei Qiuping took Feng Yiping to the town to catch a car and went to the provincial capital together. There was no other way. From the day she came back, Feng Yiping had been begging her to go too. provincial capital.
