After Xu Nannan left Yu's house, he went directly to Annan City, the provincial capital, by car.

Originally, he thought that he would live his own life in peace after finishing his work, but Li Jing came out like this, and now he can't just go back like this. Otherwise, even if Li Jing's matter is resolved by then, those people in the mine will still have opinions on her.

Although Xu Nannan is not afraid of what will happen to others, but if it is because of Li Jing that it becomes difficult for her in the mine, she will not be reconciled.

People like Li Jing are not qualified to change her life.

So Xu Nannan's idea is to let people see her dedication and determination to the mine. Look, when others are plotting against her, she is still looking for food outside.

After two days of recuperation in Annan City, she went to a department store and borrowed a batch of industrial supplies in the name of Nanjiang Iron Mine.

After all, she had sent two thousand catties of grain back before, and that was the total amount of industrial tickets and cash she brought out this time. It stands to reason that there is no capital in hand to purchase again. So this time I can't use the things in the Taobao store to exchange. However, this is also a common method used by the procurement department. When you are away from home, you can’t cover everything, and there are always times that are not so special. When there is no money to pay, they use credit in the name of Nanjiang County Iron Mine.

With a work permit and a business trip certificate issued by the mine, the department store is not in trouble. After all, this is not the first time Nanjiang Iron Mine has done this. Every time someone pays on time. For such a large unit, there are still some preferential treatment.

Taking the industrial products on credit from the department store, Xu Nannan went to the towns below Annan City, and exchanged them for food according to the model of Xujia Village.

The exchange was only over a thousand catties, and Xu Nannan added a few hundred catties by himself, making up around two thousand catties.

The horse and ox carts from the village were hired, and they were dragged to the town. Xu Nannan sent a telegram to the iron mine.

Good guy, I'm back to buy food again. The logistics department hurriedly sent another car.

Li Jing has been waiting for news from the mine, but the leaders of the mine are not sure.

During the meeting, some cadres urged the leaders of the Mining Committee to make a decision. First let Xu Jiansheng and the others move to live in Xu Nannan's house. Anyway, we are all family, so we can discuss things later.

Zhu Liping patted the table directly, "Is this mine still a big family of workers? Where is Comrade Xu Nannan now? What are you doing?"

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, aren't they on a business trip

Zhu Liping said, "You know, they are looking for food for our mine now. When the workers are running around for the mine's rations, you are thinking about tearing down the table. Don't worry about him and his father at home. What does it matter, Xu Jiansheng and his wife were not allowed to live in this house before, there must be a reason, no matter what, we must first seek the opinion of Comrade Xu Nannan. We can't wait for these few days."

"I think what Director Zhu said is right. The workers should not be chilled. Comrade Xu Nannan's decision must always be respected." It was Li Chengwen, who had always been restrained, who spoke.

Everyone was a little surprised how the deputy mine manager, who usually doesn't speak much, spoke up because of this matter.

Li Chengwen looked calm, and no one saw anything.

Instead, Mine Manager Gao took a look at him. The last time before Xu Nannan came, when there was a bloody battle in the cafeteria for the position of a temporary worker, Li Chengwen seemed to have casually mentioned Xu Jiansheng's family affairs, and then let Xu Nannan come to the mine.

Now it seems that it is not accidental.

"Let's talk about this later," Gao mine manager said, and then flipped through the recent grain purchase situation table, "Let's take a look at the recent grain situation. The most difficult thing now is the grain issue."

The food problem is naturally only temporary, and the country will always send food to the mine. But it also takes time.

During this time, always find a way to overcome.

When it comes to the issue of food, it is difficult for others to ask for a house.

A small two rooms is really nothing.

Li Jing waited for the news at home, but couldn't get a reply from the mine. After lunch, she immediately went to the mine to ask questions, worrying that the matter would not be completed before Xu Nannan came back. At that time, what kind of moth will arise again. This big girl is really evil, every time I meet her, nothing good happens.

When we arrived at the Mining Committee, the leaders were coming out of the meeting room after the meeting.

Li Jing ran over immediately.

"Leaders, I don't know how the mine is going to deal with the matter of our house."

Seeing Li Jing coming, several cadres left immediately. This kind of thing is still not easy to mix, anyway, several mine managers are there.

Mine manager Gao frowned even more, there was no end to this.

Section Chief Li of the Human Resources Department said, "I think it's better to solve it sooner, or it's not a solution to come here all the time. This is also a matter of the needs of the employees themselves."

Zhu Liping sneered, it wasn't you who fell in love with that house, if you want a house, just say so.

Several people were in a stalemate, and a car drove in again.

Or the walking tractor in the factory. The cart was dragging a cart of grain, and a lesbian was sitting on the grain, with a disheveled face, and it seemed that she had been tossed a lot.

"Oh, isn't this Comrade Xu Nannan?" Zhu Liping shouted.

Her niece has already said that Nan Nan's child will be successful, and when she comes back, this matter will be settled easily. Now it's finally time to wait for people to come back.

Seeing that Xu Nannan was back, the other mine leaders also breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, whether it will be successful or not is only a matter of a word from the lesbian.

Mine manager Gao asked his assistant to call Xu Nannan over. Xu Nannan got out of the car and said hello to the leaders.

The clothes on her body were covered with dust, her face was a little yellow, her hair was messy, and she was extremely haggard.

Mine Manager Gao said, "It's been hard, so where have you been?" This little girl is quite capable of receiving food when she travels far away.

Xu Nannan smiled and said, "It's nothing to suffer for the mine."

Section Chief Li saw that the two hadn't talked about the house yet, so he interjected, "Comrade Xu Nannan, you just came back, and there is something I need to arrange when you come back."

Xu Nannan looked at the middle-aged uncle, Section Chief Li, in a daze, "I don't know if Section Chief Li has any tasks for me to do?"

Section Chief Li said, "It's like this. Your parents think that you have a house to live in now, and they are willing to live with you. They plan to return the house they live in to the mine so that people in need can live in it. You also know that the housing in the mine is difficult now, since the family has solved the housing problem, it is good to let this house out."

Xu Nannan was astonished when he heard this, and then looked at Li Jing.

Li Jing was a little guilty at this moment, but thinking that the matter had come to this point, if it didn't work out this time, there would be no chance next time. He said, "Nannan, I know you still hate the past, but it was also a tantrum between our mother and daughter. There is no overnight feud between parents and niece, don't you think? Now you have a house to live outside Now, let’s live in the house together, and it would be great if the house is returned to the mine. We are workers, so we must have a high level of ideological consciousness. Don’t you think so?”

After finishing speaking, Li Jing suddenly felt a little more confident.

Although Xu Nannan is back, but now in front of the mine leader, he doesn't believe that this dead girl dares to say nasty things.

Xu Nannan looked at the crowd in embarrassment, "That house is not mine... I can't be the master."

"Who are you lying to? You've already lived in it, so why can't you be the master?" Li Jing didn't believe Xu Nannan's words. They could live in such a big house with two children, which meant that they were allowed to live in whatever they wanted.

It doesn't matter if the house belongs to Nan Nan or not, once she and Jian Sheng live in it with their children, it will be theirs after a long time. Anyway, it's public property, so it doesn't matter who lives in it. As long as she entered the house, she could find a way to make the house hers. She had found out about the house, and the owners were two elderly people, who were said to be in good health. How many years will it take? She will serve for a few years at most, and when someone jumps her legs, the house will only belong to them.

Chief Li said, "Comrade Xu Nannan, no matter what, you are the daughter of Director Xu. How can this family speak two languages. When the house is vacated, it will be a great help to other people in the mine." ,Yes or no?"

Seeing that Section Chief Li was still talking, Zhu Liping was very angry, and when she was about to speak, Xu Nannan said, "Well, that's fine. But there is a house here, and I can't say it when I go back. Otherwise, people will say that we The family is eccentric, and if there is a house, I will live in their house."

Hearing Xu Nannan's words, the eyes of the people next to him lit up, and they all said, "Yes, let's go through the check-out procedures first, and you can't eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot."

"Check out and then move, that's the way to go."

Xu Nannan nodded, "Yes, no one will say that we are greedy."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing thought about it for a moment, and was a little unhappy, but seeing that all the cadres had the same intention, Xu Nannan agreed again, it seemed that it was not impossible. Anyway, she had to do it first. Seeing Xu Nannan's well-behaved appearance, she was very happy.

Let's see, no matter how capable a girl is, does she have to bow her head in front of mine leaders

Mine manager Gao saw Xu Nannan nodded and didn't say anything, but Section Chief Li urged Li Jing, "Comrade Li Jing, look at this matter..."

"I'm going to find our family's Jiansheng to come over and apply. Let's check out, go through the formalities today, and move in tomorrow. But the mine leader has to testify for us, and this kid personally agreed."

"Of course, everyone has heard it." Chief Li nodded,

Mine Manager Gao also nodded. Li Chengwen glanced at Xu Nannan and remained silent.

Except for the head of the purchasing department who is not here, the other heads of the section are all beaming.

When Li Jing went to find Xu Jiansheng, Xu Nannan was going to the logistics department to hand in the task.

When I arrived at the logistics department, I found out that not only she had overfulfilled the task, but the entire procurement department had overfulfilled the task. Some of them were capable, and this time they brought back five or six thousand catties of grain.

When Xu Nannan heard this, he immediately admired these comrades. These are all capable and practical people.

After paying the errand, Xu Nannan went back to the purchasing department. Sister Liu and Li Weiming both came back. Chief Xiao is also on his way.

Seeing Xu Nannan, everyone looked happy.

"Comrade Xu Nannan, your method is really good. Let's exchange industrial tickets for food, and those fellow villagers exchanged all the food stored at home. They don't want money, but they recognize things." Sister Liu said happily.

Xu Nannan smiled weakly, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that her expression was not right, Sister Liu said, "What's wrong with you, it doesn't look right."

Xu Nannan held his stomach, "I haven't eaten or drank all day and night, and I feel dizzy."

"What, didn't eat, why don't you eat outside?"

After hearing what Xu Nannan said, other people also surrounded him.

Xu Nannan said, "I want to exchange some more food, but I'm not willing to eat it, so I traded it with someone." As he spoke, he already swayed dizzily.

"What's the matter, go to the infirmary quickly. I'll go to the cafeteria and get you something to eat."

We are all comrades-in-arms of the revolution. Moreover, he has a good impression of Xu Nannan. This time, he helped out with ideas and made the entire procurement department achieve great results, so he was naturally willing to help.

A young girl was asked to help Xu Nannan go to the infirmary, and Sister Liu went to the cafeteria to make millet porridge in person.

Li Jing and Xu Jiansheng went to the mining committee to apply, but they didn't see Xu Nannan, so they were worried, "Where is Nannan?"

"I went back to hand in the task. I went outside to find rations for everyone. I just came back. I didn't even drink my saliva, so I asked someone for a house, and I didn't let people go to work."

Zhu Fang said angrily.

The rest of the Mining Committee did not look good either.

On the contrary, Li Chengwen came out of the office, saw the couple coming, and asked, "What's the matter, are you still calling for the application?" He was in charge of the logistics, and he was also in charge of the house allocation.

"Of course we have to apply, so we'll just ask." Li Jing immediately pushed Xu Jiansheng to go and apply.

Anyway, the Mining Committee knows now, and the mine manager knows about it, so I'm not afraid that the dead girl will turn her back on this matter. Otherwise, this girl wouldn't be able to stay in the mine any longer. She didn't believe that this girl was willing to give up such a good job.

After Xu Jiansheng typed the application, Li Jing was going to ask Xu Nannan to find him, and immediately moved the things into the house to avoid long nights and dreams.

Just as she was about to leave the door of the Mining Committee, Sister Liu hurried in from the outside, "Is Director Xu there?"

Seeing Xu Jiansheng, she frowned and said, "Director Xu, Comrade Xu Nannan from our procurement department is in the infirmary now, she asked me to come over and say, don't worry about the house, and she will take you there when she is well. "

When she heard that Xu Nannan had gone to the infirmary, Zhu Fang became anxious, "What's wrong with Nannan, why did she go to the infirmary?"

Sister Liu sighed, "This kid is honest. He is on a business trip and he is reluctant to spend money on food. He said he wants to save money to buy food. He has been hungry all day and all night. He almost fainted just now in the office."

"Really?" Li Jing asked suddenly. He was fine just now, but he was so hungry. It must be this damn girl pretending.

No, this damn girl is going to change her mind.

Li Jing became anxious immediately, "It must be an act, I have to go and see."

Seeing Li Jing's reaction, Sister Liu and the other comrades in the Mining Committee did not look very good.

Even Xu Jiansheng said, "Why panic, the child is not feeling well, let's go and have a look, the house is not in a hurry."

"How can you not be in a hurry, she has to change her mind." Li Jing said anxiously.

Now nothing is as important as the house, seeing what is about to be obtained, Li Jing refused to listen, and immediately went to find Xu Nannan.

Xu Jiansheng frowned and followed, as if feeling a bit broken.

Zhu Fang was also worried, worried that Xu Nannan would suffer, so she wanted to go there together.

A few people had just left the house, and Xu Nannan was also helped over here.

Seeing Xu Nannan, Li Jing ran over immediately, "Nannan, are you okay. If it's okay, let's go and move things quickly. Let's make room for him."

She didn't believe that this girl was really sick, she must be making trouble again.

This time Xu Nannan really didn't make a fuss, she was really hungry and almost fainted. She couldn't bear the fact that the child couldn't be caught by the wolf. This time, in order to increase her chances of winning, she really didn't eat a few meals.

In addition, he didn't sleep for a long time, his face was haggard, and his eyes were still black and blue. It looked like he hadn't rested well.

Seeing Li Jing's attitude, the others couldn't stand it anymore.

Even if you move, it's not in such a hurry. Just now she said she was a daughter, but now she looks like a stepmother.

"Li Jing, I think we should wait." Seeing her like this, Xu Jiansheng also felt ashamed. It's not that he doesn't have a house to live in, and he has to make a fuss about the household registration.

This is the case now, why can't we wait any longer

"That's right, I've never seen someone move in such a hurry." Zhu Liping said.

Sister Liu couldn't see people in her department being bullied like this, "Mine Manager Gao, the people in our procurement department have bought a lot of food this time. Comrade Xu Nannan didn't even drink his saliva when he came back. There's no need to be in such a hurry. It's not that live there."

Xu Nannan said weakly, "How about I go back to clean up at night, and you move in tomorrow morning? I can also say hello to the owner of the house, or it would be bad to just move in like this."

Mine manager Gao also felt that the incident was a bit ugly, and Xu Nannan had just returned from a business trip, so he wouldn't be in a hurry to move in now.

"Why don't you pack up your things tonight and move tomorrow. Director Xu, take a day off tomorrow. Comrade Xu Nannan has worked hard on this business trip, so let's take a day off too."

Hearing the mine manager's arrangement, Li Jing clenched her fists unwillingly. But now that the whole mine knows about it, it is impossible for Xu Nannan to go back on his word.

Xu Nannan was not in good health, Zhu Fang volunteered to send her back.

"Are you really uncomfortable?"

On the way home, Zhu Fang was a little worried. I feel that the development of today's matter is a little bit hard for her to see through. What does Nan Nan want to do, really agree

Xu Nannan said, "I'm fine, so don't worry. But can you help me publicize my matter today?"

"Of course I can. In order to buy food, I am reluctant to eat it. I am so hungry that I am going to faint. Such a thing must be publicized. I don't need to apply when I go back, and I can make the decision."

They are members of the mining committee, and they usually publicize some advanced ideas in the mine.

This time, Nannan is for real.

"Okay, then there's no problem." Xu Nannan smiled, "I can handle the rest by myself."

"It's fine if you make your own achievements. My aunt and I were really afraid that you would not come back in time, so this matter will be settled. You don't know, those section chiefs and directors are all staring at that house. I reckon today Someone will be able to enter the door of Mine Manager Li’s house.”

"We don't care about this. We don't participate in the distribution of houses in the mine." Xu Nannan smiled faintly, as if he didn't care about this matter at all.

Zhu Fang didn't know what Xu Nannan was going to do.

But regardless of what Xu Nannan wanted to do, she did as Xu Nannan told her. After sending Xu Nannan home, she went back to the Mining Committee to write the manuscript. Publicize Xu Nannan's spirit of hard work and wholeheartedly thinking about the comrades in the mine.

It has been polished, and it is extremely difficult to write about the process of Xu Nannan collecting grain.

When Xu Meizi passed by, seeing the content on the bulletin board, she almost felt a toothache.

When she got home, she asked Li Jing about the progress of the matter. Knowing that Xu Nannan agreed to them moving in, she always felt weird.

It would not be surprising if it was Erya from before. But later, Erya became so powerful that she didn't even please the milk in her hands. Could it be too easy

She is still planning for the uncle's mother to make a big fuss in the mine. What a mess.

"What are you afraid of? The mine leaders know it, and she dare not go back on it." After entering the city, the biggest leader she met was the mine manager. Li Jing expressed her absolute trust in the authority of the mine.

In her eyes, the mine holds the fate of so many people. If you let them stay in the city, they will stay in the city. If you let them live in the house, they will live in the house. There is no reason why they can't control Xu Nannan, a dead girl.

"Auntie, I always feel that this matter will change." Xu Meizi worried.

She didn't think the mine could really control Xu Nannan. She heard from Wu Jian that in the meeting room, in front of the mine manager, Xu Nannan could argue with him.

But she underestimated Li Jing's trust in the mine, "it's impossible to change, so don't worry. Besides, I'll move in tomorrow morning. Then you should be sweeter, the owners are two old people, and then coax I’m so happy, not to mention the house, maybe I can get some subsidies.”

If it weren't for the fact that the owner of the house was an old man without a family, she wouldn't be so determined to move her mind.

They are all bankrupt, so what are you afraid of

Xu Hong was having fun on the sidelines. This old Xu family has no sweeter mouth than hers. At that time, I will coax the old man well. If they really recognize her as a granddaughter, she won't even have to go back to the village in the future.

Anyway, her mother's status is not good, her father can just ask for her brother, and the old lady can only swear, there is nothing good about it.

Several people have their own concerns, and they don't sleep well at night.

Xu Ling lay on the bed, tilted her head and looked out the window, wondering why the eldest sister agreed.

Early the next morning, Xu Nannan asked Xu Xiaoman to eat and go to school quickly.

These few days Xu Nannan was not at home, Xu Xiaoman was very worried. She didn't dare not listen to what Xu Nannan said. She went to school immediately after breakfast, and passed by the door of the old couple's house, and said hello outside , and then ran away in a hurry.

Grandma Yu was listening in the room, smiling so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.

Yu Donglai cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, "Then I'm ready to go. Otherwise, I'm worried that Nannan will have nothing to do."

"Okay, let's go." Grandma Yu still trusted Grandpa's ability. At the beginning, she was in a daze. The family affairs were all handled by Grandpa Yu. In the end, the house was preserved, and no one dared to snatch it for so many years.

As for the child's thoughts are too heavy, Grandma Yu doesn't think it's bad. If she and Lao Yu hadn't been a bit thoughtful, they would have been evacuated all these years ago. In this year and month, I really need to be a little thoughtful.

When Li Jing dragged the family's belongings over with a walking tractor, in the yard, Yu Donglai was scolding Xu Nannan severely.

"I thought you two were pitiful at the beginning. It was good for you to let others live in you. Nannan, this is not authentic. My house has been vacant for so many years. If I want to let others live in, why not Can you wait now?"

Xu Nannan lowered his head and dared not speak.

Xu Jiansheng and Li Jing looked at each other when they heard this. I didn't expect that when we moved, the owner would come over.

I'm still planning to move quietly, and when the time comes, I'll bring a few children to visit, and it's okay to send some money or say something nice to coax me. Anyway, it's for their niece to live in, so it's the same for them to live in again. Isn't it the same for several people living in such a spacious house

Li Jing got out of the car, and hurried into the yard to say something nice, but Xu Nannan who was inside was pushed out before she entered the yard, and hit Li Jing right in time.

Seeing a car parked outside the door, Yu Donglai said, "What is this for? Why park the car in front of our house."

"Master, I'm Xu Nannan's mother..."

"I don't care whose mother you are, who asked you to come here." Looking at Xu Nannan again, "Xu Nannan, if you let them live here, you might as well move out with your sister."

The master who drove the tractor in the mine looked at this scene, and he was also in a fog.

Director Xu's family was in a hurry to move, but the owner of the house didn't agree to this. This thing is messed up...

Li Jing was also panicked, and she didn't dare to offend Yu Donglai. She pointed at Xu Nannan and scolded, "Why did you agree at the mine yesterday, but what is going on with this matter now? If you don't give an answer, let's go to the mine and talk about it."

Before Xu Nannan could speak, Yu Donglai said, "What kind of mine? We are not managed by the mine. We are managed by the county government. This house is also under the county government. If you want to live, go to the county magistrate to ask for it." Go. Don't make trouble here, or I will ask the police to arrest you."

Grandpa Yu has done a lot to deal with those who come to make up his mind over the years, and he has developed his momentum. Now his acting skills exploded, and his face was so fierce that Li Jing was so frightened that he dared not speak.

"Grandpa Yu, please do me a favor, I agree..."

"Whoever agrees, I don't agree, what you say doesn't count. Nannan, if you talk again, you will move out with your sister. Don't make such troubles just because my wife and I usually like you. .”

Grandpa Yu doesn't show any affection.

Xu Nannan himself was ashamed.

The neighbors next door also pointed fingers.

Xu Jiansheng couldn't stand the idea of losing his family members, so he got into the car and asked someone to pull the car back first, "Let's go back first." Anyway, it's not that there is no place to live, the big deal is that he can buy a set when he saves money.

Li Jing was so angry that she wanted to make a fuss, so the neighborhood committee also brought people over.

It turned out that someone reported it and said it was a disturbance.

Seeing that it was Grandpa Yu’s house, the residents of the neighborhood committee also knew that this house was a special case. When they saw someone moving things over, they thought they were trying to rob them. ?”

Seeing people from the public house, Li Jing lost all confidence.

She was afraid of even the leaders of the mine, let alone the people in this system, so she quickly got into the car with Xu Jiansheng.

But before leaving, he stared at his daughter fiercely.

This time, it's all because the girl didn't handle it well, making it so embarrassing.

Xu Nannan secretly smiled at her, and that smile made Li Jing look a little creepy.

Back in the worker's housing area on the mine, Li Jing was still holding her breath, feeling that Xu Nannan had tricked her and made her feel ashamed.

"No, I must go to the mine to ask about it later."

Xu Jiansheng didn't speak, feeling aggrieved and panicked. I didn't blame the daughter-in-law, but felt that the daughter-in-law was getting more and more noisy now.

The last time Liu Qiao went to the city, he didn't believe it had nothing to do with this daughter-in-law.

The car just drove to the door and was about to move things, but found a lot of furniture at the door, and a few boys and girls moved things inside.

The couple were suddenly dumbfounded.
