This kind of life was really intolerable, and Fan Lao San couldn't take it anymore.
He once again applied for a two bedroom apartment for him from his superior. This time, Fan Lao San didn't go to find the director, but went straight to the highest ranking person in the factory, the Chairman Qin, and spent more than half a month's worth of salary to buy some gifts and send them over.
They all said that the housing in the factory was tight, and there were even more difficult employees than their family. As an honest man, Fan Lao San could only beg Qin Guan for help. No matter what, it was because he was an old employee of the factory and had worked diligently for so many years.
Since he had no choice, he finally let go and let Fan Xian wait a little while longer. If there was a new house, he would definitely give it to Fan Xian first.
Naturally, the third brother thanked him profusely and left the house. Before leaving, factory director Qin took out the gift that he had brought with him, refusing to accept it. How could the third brother be willing to accept it?
On the way back, Fan Lao San felt more at ease. When he thought about how the family of four no longer needed to live in a one-bedroom house, and how they could live in a bright, spacious, two-bedroom house, he was very happy.
After returning home, Fan Lao San told this matter to his daughter-in-law, Yang Qianyun. Yang Qianyun was also very happy. She hugged Fan Lao San's head and fiercely kissed him a few times.
Ever since they had children, the two of them had never experienced a married life. It seemed like they would finally be able to part from the clouds and see the clear sky.
A few months had passed unknowingly. From spring to late autumn, Chairman Qin had never mentioned the matter of the house, so Fan Lao San was somewhat anxious, seeing that the child was about to turn one year old, but the house was still full of people. The child was crying, the daughter-in-law was arguing, and the whole night was spent in a poor state of sleep.
One late autumn night, Fan Lao San went to the house of the factory director, holding a gift in his hand. This gift was even richer than the last one, spending almost a month's worth of his salary. For the sake of the new house, Fan Lao San was going all out.
Upon entering Mr. Qin's house, the factory director warmly beckoned for Mr. Fan to enter, even having his wife pour him a cup of tea.
After that, Chairman Qin's wife went into the bedroom and never came out.
The four rooms had two bathrooms and a kitchen. Compared to where he was currently staying, his house was like a pig's nest.
After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, Fan Lao San decided to get straight to the point and talk about the house.
He said, "Little Fan, I've always remembered that thing you told me last time. You are an old employee in the factory, and although you are still young, you still contribute a lot to the factory, and now you are a team leader in the factory, you can be considered a leader. I will definitely arrange the house for you, but you know the current situation, not only are the houses in the textile factory tense, the other units are also the same as us, but we can only try our best to help you not to be so anxious."
He pitifully told the situation at home to Chairman Qin, mainly because he didn't want to rest well, didn't have the spirit during the day, couldn't work properly, and so on. From this perspective, he felt that Chairman Qin would consider more things for the factory.
Chairman Qin took out a box of cigarettes and gave it to Fan Lao San. Fan Lao San delayed for a while, but eventually took the cigarette and lit it for Qin Guan. Then he lit his own cigarette.
The two of them were puffing in the room.
After a long while, Qin Guan suddenly said, "Little Fan, recently they approved a house, but it's not a building, it's in a small yard in the old city, the yard is quite big, there are three rooms, two bedrooms and a living room, and there are also two side rooms for cooking in the yard. That house alone would probably be seventy to eighty square meters, but I don't know if you want to live there..."
Hearing this, Fan Lao San's eyes went wide. Three rooms and two rooms. What was even more unexpected was that there was actually a huge yard. This was absolutely spacious. Not to mention their family of four, even a few more people would be fine.
The key was that this courtyard was located in the old city district and could be considered a bustling area. In the future, it would be very convenient to buy vegetables and go shopping, and it wouldn't be too far from the factory, so it was the most suitable location.
However, to have a small courtyard and a three-bedroom house in the old city was not a good treatment. Although it was not as convenient as a building, it was completely spacious. This was definitely a good thing.
It was just that Fan Xian couldn't understand why Qin Guan would give him such a good treatment. He felt flattered.
Immediately, Fan Xian nodded his head and said, "Thank you, factory director Qin, I am already satisfied with living in this place. Our family of four living in the same room is too crowded, we can finally change places."
He put the cigarette in the ashtray and said, "The house is down, but it's been 20 to 30 years since anyone has come to live here. I'll send someone to clean it up and take care of it in the next two days. Well, come to my office next Monday, I'll give you the key, and then I'll give you a half-day leave to move the house over."
Hearing this good news, Fan Lao San almost jumped up from the sofa. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He held Qin Guan's hand and shook him continuously. "Qin …" "Thank you so much. You are the best leader in the world …"
Superintendent Qin smiled, taking his hand away from Fan Lao San's hand, patting his shoulder. Fan Lao San looked at the smile on Qin Guan's face and felt it was a bit unnatural. It was always a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it.
Because his heart was overjoyed, Fan Lao San couldn't wait to tell this joyous event to his wife, Yang Qianyun. He bid farewell to Qin Guan and hurriedly prepared to leave.
At this time, Chairman Qin took out the gift again and passed it to Old Fan. This time, no matter what Old Fan said, he wouldn't accept it.
