Yu Bing smiled, but didn’t say anything else. She wasn’t generous enough to help others confess to Xiao Sheng. It was best not to expose this matter until they left, lest it caused trouble.
Xiao Sheng helped out as Yu Bing made three veggies and a soup dish.
Yu Bing first used half a chicken to boil the soup. She placed red dates, ginseng, and other medicinal herbs inside in order to help replenish blood. She simmered it for an hour before putting the thick layer of golden chicken oil on the soup into the thermos.
After the surgery, she had to get enough protein and vitamins, which could help improve her immune system and facilitate the recovery of the wound. Yu Bing stir-fried tomatoes, scrambled eggs, minced tofu, and boiled veggies with soy sauce.
There were meat and vegetable dishes that were light but nutritious.
After the food was ready, the two of them packed two portions to be sent to the hospital and placed a few oranges inside for Xiao Li to replenish her Vitamin C. Then, they sat down in the living room and started eating.
As Yu Bing sized up the two -bedroom apartment with a small kitchen, she asked, “How much is the rent?”
Xiao Sheng looked up at the new house and said, “Eight yuan a month. This house is one of the better ones in this area, but the bathroom is a little far. I have to run to the alley.”
Most of the old houses in S City were like this. They used the public toilets in the alley. Many people found it inconvenient to go out at night, especially in winter. Every time they came out of bed, they needed a lot of courage. Therefore, they would put a bucket in their room to solve the problem.
Yu Bing asked again, “Then why doesn’t this family live in this house?”
Xiao Sheng recalled his conversation with the landlord. “After the landlord’s husband passed away, she remarried and moved into her husband’s house. She wanted to rent out the old house to earn some rent.”
Yu Bing narrowed her eyes. This family’s situation was complicated, so the possibility of them selling this house wasn’t high. She could only wait until she had money before coming to see if there was a chance to buy another house.
However, houses were fixed assets and wouldn’t be cheap at any time. When Yu Bing thought about the little money she had, she suddenly felt the pressure to earn more money increase.
When Xiao Sheng saw Yu Bing narrowing her eyes in deep thought, he knew that she must be thinking of another way to earn money. He reached out to touch Yu Bing’s head in amusement as he said aloofly, “What money-earning trick are you thinking of again?”
Yu Bing chuckled. “I just think this house is quite good. If only I could buy a house that belongs to me.”
When Xiao Sheng brought Yu Bing around the area yesterday to familiarize her with the route, Yu Bing later remembered that this area would become City S’s business area in the future. Every demolition family here had a few shops, and it was in the downtown area. Just the rent alone was enough for the family to live on. That would be passive income!
When Xiao Sheng heard this, he looked at Yu Bing as if she was delusional. “These houses belong to the country. Although the agency gave it to the landlady’s family, she only has the right to use it.”
After the founding of the country, the houses in the city began to be allocated. As a national policy and factory employee benefit, housing was provided by the country and factories.
However, before this system was implemented, what the country had to do first was to renovate private property. In other words, all private property would be nationalized and managed by the country. Then, they would pay a low rent to the owner to afford basic living expenses.
This decision had both pros and cons, but it benefited the vast majority of people. It integrated internal resources, allowing many ordinary people to obtain free housing.
Therefore, as long as a person could enter a factory or work in an agency in this era, they would have everything provided.
Freedom to buy and sell houses only happened after the reform and opening up. What was impossible now would happen in the future.
Yu Bing couldn’t explain, so she smiled and said, “That’s hard to say. Times are changing.”
Xiao Sheng knew that Yu Bing often had bold fantasies in her mind, so he shook his head helplessly.
After the two of them finished eating, they went to the hospital to deliver the food.
After Xiao Sheng arrived at the hospital, he went to ask Dr. Min some questions. Yu Bing took the things to the ward first.
Just as she reached the door, Yu Bing heard laughter coming from inside.
Yu Bing pushed open the closed door and walked in. When the beautiful figure with her back facing the door heard the sound of the door opening, she immediately stood up and turned around.. “Brother Xiao, you’re here!’
