Chapter 136 Moving
On the green grass, small red, blue and purple wild flowers bloom like stars.
In the garden, tender green leaves swayed in the wind. Under the lush green trees, there was a long wooden chair where patients and their families who came out for a walk and some fresh air sat.
Lin Zisu looked at the three people sitting on the wooden chairs and felt that they looked familiar. The woman had a hairstyle similar to that of a married woman from the Dahuan Dynasty, with gold and silver hair ornaments in her hair. The two children were thin, with white skin and big round eyes on their faces. They looked at her curiously as she walked over.
Shen Xianglan turned around and shouted, "Is there any silver on the ground? Hurry up, there are many things to do."
After visiting Li Daya and listening to Li Juhua's explanation of the whole story, everyone walked towards the hospital parking yard.
After getting in the car, we drove towards the Qingshui Government Housing Center.
Today, except for those who have applied for temporary ID cards, everyone else is renting a house or moving, and will not be living in the temporary residence tonight.
When they arrived at the housing center, many people had already completed the rental procedures.
A temporary ID card is required to rent a house, but the place where the ID cards are issued can only issue so many per day. The staff at the housing center took the registration information they had before boarding the ship from the temporary residence and registered for the rental first. They were asked to register again within a week after they got the temporary ID card.
Which type of courtyard to rent, how many courtyards to rent, which ones to share and which families to rent individually, were all discussed last night.
Shen Xianglan, Lin Xianwen, and Lin Zisu took out their temporary ID cards and registered for rent. Lin Youcai had something to do, and he was not working, so he let others do it first. So he was the only one in the family of four who didn't have a temporary ID card, but it didn't matter, he could just come back to register again in a few days.
Lin Zisu's family of four rented a small courtyard of type 300 for 1 yuan a month. Regardless of whether Mr. Lin and Mrs. Wang were happy or not, the family of four insisted on renting a small courtyard for themselves.
Except for Old Man Lin and Old Lady Wang, no one else cared and let them do whatever they wanted. Living in the same area and not far away, the four of them were used to living alone in the city.
The elderly are reluctant to live in Type 3 or Type 4 and want to rent a Type 2 to squeeze in.
"We rented a Type 2 courtyard, but 17 people couldn't even fit in the room. The children are all grown up, so where would they sleep? We could rent a Type 3 courtyard and the whole family could still stay there.
There are 7 rooms upstairs and downstairs. My parents have one room, my wife and I have one room, the second and third children have one room each. Cuihe, Xiatao, and Qiuyue have one room, and your 6 grandchildren, 3 of them have one room, 3 of them have one room, just right." Lin Youfu pretended not to notice his parents' expressions and counted on his fingers for them to hear.
Lin Youfu: "Si Lao's family will come to live with us, so we will rent a Type 4 courtyard, which will be enough for us to live in. We will let Si Lao live however he wants."
Lin Youcai chimed in: "My brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces all work to earn money. They go to school and work every day, and when they come home from work, they want to have a good night's sleep, but there is no safe place to sleep. Who can stand this?
The four of us don't work, which is unfair to my brother and sister-in-law. We live on our own and pay for our own living. We can work if we want to, and not if we don't want to. The most important thing is that the family is harmonious!"
You said something, I said something, and the two old people were blocked from speaking.
Lin Zisu didn't care about all this and quickly completed the rental procedures. She then planned to drive the RV to her temporary residence.
There was a group of kids reading the newspaper on the road. Last night, I heard them talking about renting a house, so the leading teenager came to ask about the details.
Then the boy decided to rent a house with them. They rented a Type 1 small courtyard with three rooms for more than ten children, which was enough for them to live in even if they squeezed together.
Lin Zisu felt that these children were very tenacious, perseverant, smart, and able to endure hardships. They were also able to read people's expressions. When she heard that they were applying for temporary ID cards, she immediately followed them to apply.
After they got to know the children, they realized they were beggars. Some of them were abandoned, some had no relatives, and some were homeless after the war.
Lin Xianwen sighed, these kids are really tougher than them. The team that escaped from Nanlin Village had more equipment, more food, more people, and most of them were young and strong. They also had plug-ins and RVs to lead the way.
In fact, among this group of half-grown children, more than ten of them died along the way.
Tao Mingyuan's family and Zhao the Butcher's family also rented a Type 1 small courtyard. Families with simple members and small populations prefer to rent a Type 1 or Type 2 small courtyard.
Wei Qiniang asked Li Juhua to ask if Li Daya would share the Type 1 courtyard with her mother and daughter. The Type 1 small courtyard had a kitchen and three rooms, one for her mother and daughter, one for Li Daya, and one for Liang Laidi and his two daughters. The three rooms were the same size, and the middle room was not used as a living room, but as a bedroom, which was just enough for living.
Liang Laidi's husband Zhao Mu rented a house with others. There were many people in Nanlin Village who rented a house together. If they wanted to save money on rent, they would just rent a small courtyard with several men. If they could squeeze into three rooms with several grown men, they could sleep a lot of people. Every penny of rent could save a lot of money.
After renting a house, everyone rushed to the temporary residence to handle the formalities and move their luggage. Today we rented a house and moved, so we didn't have time to work for half a day, and we didn't have any wages to put into our pockets. After today's busy work, we can go to work and earn money after school tomorrow.
