Raising Babies in the 70s

Chapter 130: back to the island

Views:

The first commercial housing complex in Guangcheng was built with a large number of Hong Kong capital, so in many respects, it also followed the model there. For people at this moment, buying a house with a mortgage is a new thing.

Whether it is now or in the future, banks like housing loans, because for banks, the most secure and profitable business is housing loans.

Qin Rou's family has booked a house, and their family's wallet has shrunk by more than half, and they are also carrying the mortgage of this era. Fortunately, the monthly repayment amount is really not much.

If you look at it from 30 to 40 years later, you will feel that the loans in the 1980s and 1990s are like a joke. At this cabbage price, you can buy it and earn it.

But for people nowadays, a house worth a few hundred yuan per square meter is really not the price of cabbage. After all, many people’s annual salary is only a few hundred or thousands of dollars.

"It cost a lot of money, and we still have to pay the mortgage. Boss Xiao Lu, our family is going to make a lot of money." Thinking of the first house that their family will soon own, Qin Rou is extremely excited. A set of commercial housing! A house in Guangcheng!

After having the first set, is the second set still far away

"Why insist on buying a house?" Lu Yan supported her daughter-in-law's decision, but still asked her with a smile.

"Let's miss an old place. Although all major government agencies, state-owned enterprises and units now distribute houses, if you change units, the house allocated to you by the unit does not belong to you..."

"I like things that belong to me. The house we bought will be ours in the future. Even if we return to the island and come to Guangcheng in the future, we will have a place to stay at ease."

"I will buy a few more houses in the future." Qin Rou is very ambitious. The current house is only bought in Guangcheng, and they will also buy a house on Qiongzhou Island in the future.

"Okay, buy a few more sets if you like."

"We have so many children in our family, we need to buy bigger ones."

Who wants to live in a small house when they can live in a big house? When Qiongzhou Island develops in the future, Qin Rou still wants to have several sets of sea view houses. Of course, sea view houses are not suitable for living. They are not for long-term living, but for vacation and leisure. In such a good land, get a sea view How nice is the room resort.

There are also many hot spring spots on the island, maybe you can open a hot spring villa, a mango and litchi plantation...

Qin Rou raised her hand to cover her face, she thought to herself that she was interested in such things as eating, drinking, and playing.

"Your family bought a house?"

"Did you really buy a house in Guangcheng?"

"Is it necessary? How much did it cost?"

When I returned to the family building of the military academy and learned that Lu Yan’s family bought a house in Guangcheng, the people around were a little puzzled, because their training class was coming to an end soon, and Lu Yan would return to the base on the island in a short time and be transferred to another post. For a detachment chief of staff.

Qin Rou has been studying in Guangcheng for three years. In 1982, that is, at the beginning of next year, she will graduate from Lingnan University in Guangcheng. If she wants to go back to the island with her husband, there is no need to buy it in Guangcheng. A house, that's 80,000!

Why buy a house with so much money? It's not that there is no house to live in.

Zheng Mantang was amazed: "The family next door actually bought a house in Guangcheng? Isn't there something wrong with that? Do you think this daughter-in-law Lu Yan has studied in Guangcheng for several years and wants to stay in this bustling city?" , you don’t want to go back to the island with him, do you?”

"If you want me to choose, I am also reluctant to leave Guangcheng. How nice it is to be here. She is a young woman, beautiful, and a college student. She can stay comfortably in a big city. Why bother to go back to him?" island."

Zheng Mantang took pleasure in his misfortune: "If you want me to say, he shouldn't have let his daughter-in-law take the college entrance examination in the first place. You see, he came to a big city and studied for a few years, so he had to study wild and fell in love with her." There is so much excitement in the city, why would you want to go to a remote poor island.”

"If the two places live apart, the couple will soon be divorced."

"There have been so many divorces in the past few years. They are all caused by those who have been admitted to college and returned to the city. No one wants to stay in the country, and they all run to the city."

"If Lu Yan and his wife get divorced, the four children will be pitiful..."

His wife, Tang Yurong, was cleaning the kitchen. Hearing this, she said, "Don't talk nonsense. The Lu family and his wife are in a good relationship. The former saw Xiao Lu riding Xiao Qin out of the house. It doesn't look like they are about to divorce. Just eat radish salty and worry about it."

Zheng Mantang said: "The relationship is good now, but it doesn't mean that the relationship will be good in the future. In the past, those educated youth couples had a bad relationship in the countryside? Once there is a choice to return to the city, how many people abandon their husbands and children?"

"If there were not many, there wouldn't be so many divorces!"

"What novels are those young female hygienists reading recently? It's all about pursuing freedom and love! As long as the spark of love is sparked, what's the point of getting married?"

Zheng Mantang lamented: "Those books, and the one where both father and son fell in love with a woman."

Tang Yurong: "You are an old man, why do you know these books so well?"

Zheng Mantang chuckled: "It's not that you scold me every day for not being able to keep up with the times, I also have to see the new and hot things of this era."

Tang Yurong: "... there are not only these, but also my uncle's nephew who likes to disguise himself as a woman and go home to take revenge."

Zheng Mantang exclaimed: "Where did you see this thing?"

"On TV."

"The TV series filmed outside the house are very fresh."

Zheng Mantang: "I still don't know enough."

Tang Yurong laughed at him: "I know it's because you are so rare."

"Then you know so much, don't you think that pretty little Qin is going to pursue his love?" Zheng Mantang was very contradictory. He couldn't understand such a beautiful and out-of-the-ordinary woman like Qin Rou, but he I also envy and envy Lu Yan and his wife who have both children, and the family is harmonious and beautiful without quarreling.

He thinks that the loving couple of the Lu family are just pretending!

In front of them, the husband and wife pretended to be human beings, and the husband and wife were affectionate and loving. When they got home and closed the door, who knew what was inside

If the relationship is really good, why doesn't Lu Yan lock his wife by his side, and let her go to some kind of college entrance examination, and get out of a bullshit university. Afterwards, her heart will become wild, and sooner or later she will run away with other wild men.

These educated women like the romance of the wind, flowers, snow and moon the most, and like the kind of young men who wear small glasses and are gentle and talkative. Maybe Qin Rou has been blown by such young men in school for a few years. She just wants to talk to these men. The romantic young man went after love.

These soldiers are locked up in a small place every day, and they are stupid and can't speak. If they marry another smart woman, this woman will definitely have her own little thoughts.

"Her man is going back to the island, and she is clamoring to buy a house in Guangcheng. Who will live in this house? We soldiers don't have many vacations a year, maybe she will bring other men to live there in the future, even if She took the man there, Lu Yan? How did Lu Yan know?"

"You said that Lu Yan is about to become the chief of staff of the detachment anyway, why didn't he even think of this? He just trusts this woman too much."

Zheng Mantang analyzed the house-buying behavior of the Lu family couple downstairs, and then thought about the romance novels that gradually became popular in the market. Under this atmosphere of pursuing true love, Lu Yanlu, chief of staff, had a green light on his head.

Tang Yurong rolled her eyes: "Can't you just wait for others to order it? What's wrong with buying a house? If it were me, I would buy a house if I had money. To have a house, I feel more at ease in my heart."

"You women are at ease, but what about Lu Yan, he is a man who is not at ease. Do you think I should remind him?"

"Remind what?"

"Let him guard against his daughter-in-law, Xiao Qin, who is going to pursue true love."

Tang Yurong felt that his old Zheng was really confused, "Xiao Lu and Xiaoqin have four children, and they are living steadily."

"What is a child? What are four children? Can children become an obstacle to love? Impossible, the book says that love can break through all secular ethical restrictions, and a father and son can fall in love with a woman, and she gave birth to four children Aren’t women still free to pursue their own happiness?”

"Xiao Qin has finished college, her soul and mind have been liberated, and she is going to pursue her own love!" Zheng Mantang became more and more excited as he spoke.

Tang Yurong picked up the broom to sweep the floor, and said, "Love? She only loves their Chief of Staff Lu. What kind of love does she want to pursue?"

Zheng Mantang: "You don't understand this, the times are different now..."

Tang Yurong: "Why don't I understand? I don't think it's Xiao Qin who wants to pursue love, but... I want to pursue love."

Zheng Mantang: "????!!!"

His eyes were about to stare straight, "You're after love, what kind of love are you after? Your son is already five?"

Tang Yurong rolled her eyes: "Did you forget what you said just now? Can children stop love? True love can break through all worldly ethics. What's wrong with me having five children? Can't I pursue true love?"

Zheng Mantang: "..."

"You said these things to your husband?"

Tang Yurong: "So what? Do you love me? You don't care if others pursue love, why don't you care if I pursue love?"

Zheng Mantang: "I don't know if I love you or not, but without you by my side, I really don't know how to live this day."

Tang Yurong was stunned for a moment, "It's been so many years, I still can't make do with it."

"Make do with it, and a lifetime will pass."

"Make do with it?" Zheng Mantang poked his waist, "Why do you say that people are love, and we just make do with it?"

Tang Yurong didn't bother to talk to him.

Zheng Mantang was in a particularly upset mood. He wandered over to Lu Yan's house, just in time to see his family making dumplings, Qin Rou was mixing the stuffing, Lu Yan was rolling out the dough, two older brothers, Lu Weizhou and Lu Weize, were making dumplings, and the two younger sisters were full of hands. After dipping in flour, rub a little on my sister's face, and on my sister's body.

"Bad Doudou!"

"Smelly Rongrong!"

"Old Zheng? Do you want to take some dumplings with you?"

"Is your family making dumplings? Are you going to eat dumplings tonight?" Zheng Mantang looked at their family with his cheeks on his hands. The couple had four children, two sons and two daughters. The son looked like his father, and the daughter looked like Mom, the family atmosphere is extraordinarily warm.

"Have you received the order, are you going to the island soon?"

"Come on, when my daughter-in-law ends this semester, let's go back to the island together."

Zheng Mantang inquired: "Xiao Qin, you have studied in university in Guangcheng, do you plan to stay in Guangcheng to work in the future?"

He felt that this woman was ambitious, and she would definitely stay in the big city of Guangcheng.

Now that the houses are all bought, she must live in a high-rise in a big city, and she doesn't want to go to the island to suffer.

Qin Rou picked up the dumpling wrapper, picked up the filling with chopsticks, and said casually, "Old Zheng, you forgot? I run a breeding factory on the island, of course I have to go back to manage the factory."

"You haven't been to Qiongzhou Island, have you? Welcome to visit our house sometime. There are not many other things on the island, but there are a lot of fruits."

Doudou said, "Mom, are we going to the island?"

"yes."

"I want to eat mango, lychee and jackfruit!!"

Little Jiaozi said happily: "There are still a lot of coconuts on the island."

"And little squirrels and monkeys."

Lu Weizhou smiled and said, "Your second brother was robbed by monkeys when he was young."

"Wow!!! Monkey!!!" Doudou and Xiao Rongrong exclaimed holding their faces.

"Is it the monkey in the zoo?"

"It's a macaque."

"Isn't Brother Dumpling a six-eared macaque? Why do macaques still snatch things from macaques?"

Lu Weizhou: "Because they are not united."

"Hey, hey!!" Xiao Jiaozi, who had been exposed, was very dissatisfied: "As a big brother, what are you teaching my sister?"

"Doudorongrong, who do you call the six-eared macaque? You are the two little monkeys and the two kiwis."

"Brother is the peach!"

Hearing the children's yelling, Lu Yan smiled. He picked up the rolling pin and sprinkled some flour on the surface. "Daughter-in-law, my face is itchy. Scratch it for me."

"where?"

"Here, a little further down, yes, that's it."

Zheng Mantang curled his lips, "Old Lu, you guys are really noisy."

Lu Yan raised her eyebrows: "Aren't your five sons making a fuss?"

Zheng Mantang: "..."

So sad!

They still have at least two sweetheart padded jackets, and his family's five military coats would suffocate their father to death.

Zheng Mantang changed the subject and said, "Your family is going back to the island, why do you want to buy a house in Guangcheng?"

"My daughter-in-law likes it!"

"Our family will also buy a house on the island in the future." Qin Rou kindly suggested: "Old Zheng, if your family has the opportunity, you can also buy a house."

"House? Our family doesn't buy a house."

Zheng Mantang felt that there was no need to buy a house. At his level, the allocated family room was large enough, so there was no need to buy any house.

What is the use of commercial housing at this moment? As long as there is a unit, isn't there a welfare housing allocation

After strolling around the Lu's house, Zheng Mantang returned to his home. Tang Yurong laughed at him: "What? What did you say when you went to the old Lu's house?"

"Don't gossip and harass other people's relationship between husband and wife, rather tear down a temple than ruin a marriage, bad marriages will be bad luck." Tang Yurong has watched a lot of TV series now, and he can say a few big things in his mouth, although There are many strange characters and plots in TV dramas, but they are generally family-oriented.

"Hehe, you still don't know these two couples? Just step on my face and say that they are in a good relationship. How can I gossip? Back home, my mind is full of my daughter-in-law."

"Who makes her true love? It's not like the two of us are making do with each other."

Zheng Mantang: "... people are still living their lives."

"That's right, people are making a living, and we are making a living."

Zheng Mantang was so angry that his chest was tight: "What's the matter with making do with life? Can you still leave?"

"Stop watching TV dramas. This TV drama is fooling people. I'm already a mother of five children. What kind of true love is there to pursue?"

"Seldom read romance novels, don't hang out with other girls, and father and son both fall in love with a woman? Six of you father and son really fall in love with a woman, then I..."

Zheng Mantang: "...what do you want to do?"

Tang Yurong: "It's nothing, I suddenly felt that there will be no young girls blindly looking at you."

"It would be terrible if all six of you, father and son, fell in love with one woman."

Zheng Mantang: "What's so scary, can we father and son love other women besides you?"

Tang Yurong: "..."

"I'm going to tell Xiao Qin about this!"

Unexpectedly, their old Zheng could say such a thing.

Zheng Mantang blushed: "You old woman is really shameless, it's better to tell people about this kind of thing."

Women are really puzzling, just make do with it.

"You tell Xiao Qin, then I will tell Xiao Lu."

Tang Yurong: "Then go ahead and talk about it, I won't talk about it."

Zheng Mantang: "..."

"Qin Rou, Jiang Qiaoqiao said you bought a house in Guangcheng? Really? She said she saw your name."

After returning to school, many people in Lingnan University knew that Qin Rou bought a house in Guangcheng, and it was promoted by Jiang Qiaoqiao, who was the one who opened a garment factory with Sun Hongping before. After a while, the garment factory completely belonged to Jiang Qiaoqiao and his family. Sun Hongping and the others were squeezed out by Jiang Qiaoqiao.

Jiang Qiaoqiao made a lot of money. When the market opened that day, she also bought a house. As soon as she returned to school, she immediately publicized it everywhere.

When Sun Hongping heard these words, she almost couldn't eat anymore. Sun Hongping cursed in her heart, wishing that Jiang Qiaoqiao's clothing factory would close down sooner.

Isn't it just some shit clothing factory.

"Sun Hongping, it seems that Rou Qin in your dormitory also bought a house."

"Really, she bought a house too?!"

"When will we have our own house in the city?"

"Jiang Qiaoqiao said that many bosses in Hong Kong Island bought that house. Many people who invested in opening factories bought houses there."

When Qin Rou returned to school, the news of her buying a house had already been spread, but she didn't care, it wasn't a big deal, not to mention that it was the last school year soon, and there were very few days in school.

After Chu Ge knew that she bought a house, she was very envious: "Qin Rou, that's great! How big a house did you buy?"

"One hundred and one square meters."

"It's quite big, which floor is it on?"

"Fifth floor."

"It's great, I've never lived in a house on the fifth floor, ah, that's a big high-rise house."

Sun Hongping said from the side: "I will also buy a house here in the future."

Thinking of Jiang Qiaoqiao, she secretly hated that Jiang Qiaoqiao and Qin Rou would live in the same community.

Sun Hongping memorized the name of this community, thinking that she would move into this community one day in the future, and she would also buy a house here.

"Qin Rou, you bought a house in Guangcheng, do you plan to stay in Guangcheng in the future?"

"It's more than seven hundred square meters. How many years will I have to save to buy a house?"

"Let's find a way to make money. Now that I'm assigned to a unit, I don't make money as a self-employed person. In our hometown, there are many people who start factories and make money. They heard that I was studying in Guangcheng, and they all envied me. Every time they come from Guangcheng Bring some fresh things back to your hometown, and you can sell them for a lot of money.”

This is the benefit of studying in Guangcheng. If you have something new here, you can bring it back to your hometown and sell it for double!

Qin Rou said: "I'm going back to Qiongzhou Island, where my pearl factory is opened."

"Your man is there too!"

Sun Hongping's eyes lit up: "You really don't want to stay in Guangcheng anymore? There are more opportunities to make money in Guangcheng. If you don't stay in Guangcheng, you still want to go to an island so far away?"

She thinks that Qin Rou is really stupid. How good is the development here in Guangcheng. She bought a house here, and she doesn't want to stay here, but wants to go back to the island.

In the future, Sun Hongping will meet the big boss in Guangcheng, and Qin Rou will still open a breeding factory on that island!

"They have a factory on the island, of course they have to go back to the island, Qin Rou, let's go to the island to visit you in the future."

Qin Rou immediately agreed: "Okay, welcome to the island for tourism, the coconut grove on the beach over there is very beautiful!"

"Really! Then you have to go and see, and also go to see the place where you raise pearls."

"When I have money, I will also buy a string of pearl necklaces to wear."

This semester is over and summer vacation is about to begin. Qin Rou has almost finished all her homework. She packed up her things and is about to return to Qiongzhou Island with Lu Yan. Lu Yan's transfer order has come down. He is going to be transferred to a certain detachment as the chief of staff.

This time, their big family is going back to the island together. Lu Yan is now living in a guest house near the pier with her four children. Their furniture and appliances in the family building of the military academy have been moved to the pier warehouse, and they are staying in Guangcheng. In a few years, they will move back to the island.

Qin Rou packed her luggage and dragged the suitcase downstairs. She saw the first and fourth children in the corridor. Lu Yan brought the children to the school to pick her up and leave.

The two little girls, Doudou Rongrong, came to their mother's dormitory for the first time, and looked around curiously. Zhou Zhou and Jiaozi are not a safe couple. If it weren't for waiting for their mother, they would already want to walk around up.

The five of them, father and son, father and daughter, are very attractive, especially the two twin brothers and sisters, Zhouzhou Jiaozi and Doudou Rongrong, and a handsome man next to them.

"Wow, they look exactly the same!"

"Two sets of twins standing together."

"These two kids really look like their dad."

"Is it a child of Qin Rou's family from the Department of Enterprise Management? The two daughters are quite similar to her. She is married and has children?"

"That's not true, this man is her husband."

"Is the pair of twin brothers next to her her son? She gave birth to the daughter, but not the son? These two children are so old, are they left by his ex-wife?"

Zhouzhou and Jiaozi heard these discussions: "..."

Lu Weize said: "Brother, why do you say that you were not born by my mother?"

Lu Weizhou: "Your mother is my mother."

Doudou: "My brother's mother is also Doudou's mother."

"It's Rong Rong's mother!"

Lu Yan: "..."

Qin Rou went downstairs with her suitcase. As soon as she walked out of the corridor, a man in a white military uniform immediately took the suitcase from her hand.

Qin Rou raised her head and saw his handsome profile, and smiled sweetly: "What are you guys talking about?"

"I'm talking about my mother being Rong Rong's mother."

"It's Brother Dumpling's own mother!"

"Qin Rou, are these children yours?" Zhang Qi's jaw dropped in shock.

"It's mine, it's all my own. The two elder brothers look like the child's father, and the daughter looks like me."

"It's really your own, you really know how to give birth!!!"

"Go and ask Auntie to take a look, Auntie, put on your presbyopic eyes to see Qin Rou's son and daughter!"

The aunt in the dormitory put on reading glasses and walked out of the room at the stairs. When she saw the two brothers and sisters, she couldn't help but take off the glasses immediately, "Am I presbyopia? Why are there double images?"

"What double image, these are two pairs of twin brothers and sisters!"

Qin Rou said with a smile: "Auntie, I didn't fool you before. My two sons and my two girls are all born to me."

Aunt: "Really!! You girl is too good at giving birth, oh my god, how old is your son, hey, he looks a lot like their father, and he won't worry about finding a partner in the future."

"If my granddaughter wasn't young, I would have made an appointment with you."

"Two handsome boys from now on!"

Lu Yan and his wife left the school with their four children. Chu Ge ran upstairs, and several women from the dormitory came to their dormitory and asked, "Is that really Qin Rou's husband and her two sets of twins?"

"Really, you didn't see, the twins look great!"

Chu Ge was extremely regretful: "Her two sons are so handsome, you say how much I would be if I was born twelve years later, and I can still catch up."

Zhao Shanshan laughed at her: "Hurry up and find someone to have a daughter with, maybe you can make it in time."

"Don't rush, don't rush, how can you catch up?"

"I really envy Qin Rou. She married such a good partner and has four beautiful children. Her two little daughters are so cute. They look like her. At first glance, they are two beauties."

Qin Rou and his wife boarded the ship with their children. Doudou and Rongrong were young and could not remember too many things. They were so excited when they boarded the ship. They scrambled in the cabin like two little mice. come and go.

"The sea! The sea!!"

"A lot of boats!!"

"One two three four five..."

The two little girls shouted cheerfully, it is always exciting to see a vast ocean, and there are many boats on the pier, just like counting train carriages when taking a train, and counting the number of boats on a boat.

Lu Yan looked at the sea with her two little daughters in her arms.

Doudou asked Qin Rou who was standing next to her: "Mom, can I go fishing on the boat?"

"You want to fish? The fish still want to catch you."

"Brothers are two little sharks."

"Where are Doudou and Rongrong?"

Lu Weizhou said, "It's a grouper."

Lu Weize said, "It's two starfish."

Qin Rou said: "little goldfish."

Lu Yan: "Pippi shrimp."

"Bad father, bad mother, bad brother!!"

"Rongrong is a big whale! Aww! Aww!!"

"A big whale bigger than a boat!"

"Swallow baby sharks in one bite."

The sweet bean paste sisters stayed in their father's arms, opened their hands around their mouths, and made a "vicious" movement of a big fish preying on them.

Lu Weizhou: "..."

Lu Weize: "..."

These two girls are very ambitious.

The ship was moving forward on the sea, and their family was about to arrive at Qiongzhou Island and return to the base family courtyard.
