Wang Xiaoxue locked the payment into the drawer, and then recorded the accounts clearly.

After finishing their work, the three of them had a meal of beef noodles on the side of the road, and then Niu Xiaoqiang took out the key and prepared to go to Zhang Guangmao's house with Fang Dongping to see the situation.

Wang Xiaoxue currently lives in the attic next to the warehouse, and in order to save money, Li Yu's rented house is not in good condition, not only the space is very small, but all kinds of living facilities are also imperfect. As soon as she heard that Zhang Guangmao was going to provide the empty house to Fang Dongping for use, Wang Xiaoxue immediately became interested: "My conditions here are too poor, I don't even have a place to take a bath, can you give me a room to live in?"

Niu Xiaoqiang originally had such thoughts, he nodded: "Director Zhang's house is very close to here, you can move in in the future." ”

Wang Xiaoxue immediately cheered and asked to go over with the two of them to have a look.

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "It's okay for you to follow and take a look, but you can't delay your work, you will have to come back in twenty minutes at most, otherwise what if a salesman comes back to get the goods?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I finish reading, and I won't delay it. ”

A minute later, the three walked out of the warehouse. Wang Xiaoxue has been working here for a few days and has an understanding of the surrounding environment. Under her leadership, the three of them soon found Zhang Guangmao's house.

Zhang Guangmao's house is a two-story building, covering an area of about 350 square meters, and the total floor area of the house is more than 600 square meters. When the three of them entered the house, they found that the tables, chairs, benches and sofas in the house were all in place, and there was even a 17-inch color TV in the living room, as well as electric fans and refrigerators, which did not look like they had moved at all.

Fang Dongping couldn't help but be stunned: "What's the situation?"

Niu Xiaoqiang was also very puzzled at the beginning, and after thinking about it for a while, he was relieved: "Master, Zhang Guangmao will soon be at the deputy ministerial level, and the Pingjiang Oilfield must have prepared better living conditions for him, so he didn't bother to move these household appliances." ”

Fang Dongping couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "The Ministry of Petroleum is really rich." ”

Wang Xiaoxue originally thought that Zhang Guangmao's house had been emptied a long time ago, but at this moment, when she saw that there were so many good things left inside, she immediately became restless, and flew back and forth in the house like a bird, with an excited exclamation in her mouth.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't pay attention to her, and after a cursory look at the environment on the first floor, he walked up to the second floor.

On the second floor, there is a large terrace with some flowers and plants, and in the corner of the terrace there is a glass fish tank with a few goldfish.

Niu Xiaoqiang walked to the edge of the terrace, held on to the railing and looked at the river, and praised again and again: "The environment here is really too good to say, it is definitely a luxury villa, if only I could have such a house." ”

"Wow, wow, wow, there are still goldfish?!"

Wang Xiaoxue rushed up, and couldn't help screaming again and again when she saw the fish tank and the goldfish.

Niu Xiaoqiang reminded: "Xiaoxue, you have to take care of the house in the future, don't break other people's things, otherwise I'd rather leave the house empty than let you live in it." ”

Wang Xiaoxue vigorously promised: "Don't worry, Brother Niu, I am diligent, I promise to take care of this place!"

After she finished speaking, she couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, turned around and slipped into the bedroom. Niu Xiaoqiang was afraid that she would damage other people's things, so he followed in.

The covers in the bedroom are still there, only the wardrobe is empty, it seems that Zhang Guangmao only took away clothes and more valuable personal belongings, as for the bedding or something, people don't look down on it.

Wang Xiaoxue smiled and threw herself on the wide bed, rolling back and forth on it: "Wow, wow! It's so comfortable! This is the softest, largest, and most advanced bed I've ever slept in!"

Niu Xiaoqiang reminded: "You can only live on the first floor in the future, and the house on the second floor is reserved for me and Master, and we don't have to go to the guest house to do errands in the city in the future, just live here." ”

Wang Xiaoxue looked very satisfied, and was not dissatisfied: "I know, I promise I won't rob you." ”

Fang Dongping was very satisfied with the environment here, but he didn't show much heat. He didn't care so much about the living conditions, and his biggest interest was to tinker with machinery and equipment.

Niu Xiaoqiang gave Wang Xiaoxue one set of keys, and he kept the other two sets of keys for backup. After looking at the house, Wang Xiaoxue reluctantly went back to work, Niu Xiaoqiang and Fang Dongping sat on the sofa on the first floor and chatted while watching TV. Neither of them likes to watch TV very much, but the color TV of Zhang Guangmao's house makes them feel very novel, and the two watch it with relish.

Nearly an hour later, there was a knock on the door of the house. Niu Xiaoqiang got up and opened the door, and found that the person who came was Zhang Guangmao's daughter Xiaolan.

Xiaolan's full name is Zhang Honglan, she was not surprised at all when she saw the two in the house, and greeted the two with a smile: "Hello Grandpa Fang, hello Xiaoqiang." ”

The two stood up and greeted Zhang Honglan, and then Niu Xiaoqiang asked, "Xiaolan, ...... are you?"

Zhang Honglan sat on the sofa, "My dad just called me and said that you might come to see the house, I came here to say goodbye to you, and I will take a boat to the provincial capital later, and I will learn English at the school over there, and I will not come back until I go abroad." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't know the specific date of Zhang Honglan's study abroad, and then asked, "When are you going to go abroad?"

"The Ministry of Education has already contacted me, and they said that they are going through the formalities, and it is estimated that the procedures will be completed before July. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed: "Congratulations, there is less than a month to realize your dream." ”

Zhang Honglan smiled and shook her head: "Actually, I'm not so keen on life abroad, I just want to go out to see the world, breathe, and relax." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang can roughly understand Zhang Honglan's thoughts. She has been without her mother since she was a child, and her father rarely accompanies her because of work, which makes her feel very lonely and depressed, and even makes her feel a little depressed about the domestic environment. She chose to go to a far away place to take a good break, and this was normal.

Niu Xiaoqiang thought of this and nodded with a smile, "After going to the United States, you must pay attention to safety, remember what I said, if you are in trouble, ask Professor Watson for help." ”

Zhang Honglan nodded again and again: "Don't worry, I'm not a hypocritical person, I won't be polite if I really need to." ”

After the three chatted happily for more than 20 minutes, Zhang Honglan got up to say goodbye.

Niu Xiaoqiang sent her outside the door and said some words of blessing, Zhang Honglan thanked her repeatedly, told Niu Xiaoqiang to remember to write to her, and then waved her hand and turned to leave.
