Chapter 142 Thanks to Secretary Jin
Pei Yanning's rank was so high that there was no one higher than him on the entire train. He was still injured, so the best berth in the cadre carriage naturally belonged to him.

The beds here are still bunk beds, but the space is more than half as spacious, and there is also a wooden sofa and a long table with the latest newspaper on it. There is also a small stove inside for boiling water and making tea.

Thanks to the small stove, it is much more convenient for them to heat up meals and cook food than when they came here.

In addition, the space and environment here are better, so Lingxi's return trip was obviously much better than when she came.

Pei Yanning and his friends had just got off the train when Pei Yu, who had borrowed a car to pick them up, ran into someone from the machinery factory.

Zeng Jiawang, the head of the security department of the machinery factory, saw Pei Yanning saluted first, then smiled and said: "The factory has been ready for a few days. Do you think you should go to the factory to put away all the things you have brought with you?"

Pei Yanning nodded.

"Is there enough accommodation? I want to bring my daughter and son-in-law with me. If it's enough, I'll go back with you directly. If it's not enough, we have to go back to our hometown first."

"That's enough."

Zeng Jiawang helped move things, "What a coincidence.

Our machinery factory has always had a housing shortage, and many senior couples cannot get a house.

It was not until our Deputy Factory Director Gu came over that he came up with a solution to this problem.

We have built a number of new bungalows.

A bungalow is not a tube-shaped building, so it does not require reinforced concrete. We have our own brick kiln, so we can easily make it by getting together other materials.

It's really a coincidence that you came. When the document was issued from above, our factory was discussing the division of this batch of bungalows. One was reserved for you. It has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a balcony, a bathroom, and a large yard.

but……"

Zeng Jiawang paused here and glanced at Pei Yanning.

Pei Yanning raised his eyebrows and continued his words: "But it's not finished yet, so we can't move in.

Just tell me first, where I live now is big enough to live in, don't talk nonsense."

Zeng Jiawang chuckled and said that it was indeed not completed yet and it would take at least a few months to move in.

"I can't hide it from you. I can accommodate you, I can accommodate you..."

"Then go!" Pei Yanning stopped talking.

Pei Yu looked at the scene, pinched Lingxi's little face first, then moved between Pei Xuan and Gu Si, and asked with his eyes.

What happened?
When his family learned that Pei Yanning had returned, they thought that his injuries might be too serious and he came home to recuperate.

But it doesn't look like that!

Pei Xuan and Gu Si briefly explained the matter to Pei Yu.

"Transferred back?!"

Pei Yu was shocked.

Moreover, from what he said, Lingxi and Gu Si were planning to live with their uncle in the future.

While he was happy for them, he also felt a little regretful.

"If I had known this earlier, I would have gone to the machinery factory!"

Of course, Pei Yu only regretted it for a moment. If he was really asked to change jobs and start from scratch in a machinery factory, he would be unhappy at first.

The profit he made from one smuggling trip was enough to pay someone a month's salary.

Moreover, traveling around the country allows him to bring back some local specialties from time to time. If he stops doing this, where would he get those delicious foods?

The staff building of the machinery factory is a five-story tube building. Pei Yanning was assigned to a room on the first floor, which is the innermost and easternmost, with the door facing south.

Pei Yu and Zeng Jiawang had two cars, which made quite a noise. With people moving things in and out, they soon alarmed the neighbors next door.

"Old Zeng, is this our deputy factory director here?"

Lingxi was carrying a quilt into the room when she heard someone talking. She turned around subconsciously and saw Zeng Jiawang, who was carrying something and talking to a female comrade.

It was just that Zeng Jiawang blocked Lingxi's view, so she couldn't see the other person's true face.

Lingxi just listened reflexively and then went into the house.

The voice behind me was intermittent. "Yes, Secretary Jin, you are at home today. Speaking of which, you were all transferred from the capital at the same time..."

"That's a real coincidence. You're busy, so I came back to get something. I have to go back now..."
-
The tube building is supplied with water, electricity and heating.

Pei Yanning was assigned a room of only 30 square meters.

On the easternmost part of the first floor, the door faces south.

The living room is three by five meters when you enter the door. There are two doors on the left. The outer one is three by two meters, and the inner one should be three by three meters. Because the room is on the easternmost side and there is a window on the east wall, the room has good lighting.

There is a bay window in the bedroom, making the small room of 9 square meters look more spacious.

Further in is the balcony, with the door opening onto the living room.

Zeng Jiawang came in and saw Pei Yanning staring at the balcony, so he explained.

“This balcony was only expanded two months ago and no one has ever lived here!
Our previous secretary originally planned to transfer the food relationship of his son and daughter-in-law, and this balcony was built for the young couple to live in.

However, before anyone could move in, the old secretary was transferred away.

The house is now empty.”

Pei Yanning nodded.

In this age of housing shortage, balconies are mostly used as bedrooms for employees' children.

The balcony in this factory was originally spacious, measuring two by six, or twelve square meters.

Now it has been widened by another meter, becoming a three by six structure.

It’s on the first floor, and there’s a garden outside the balcony, so it’s not difficult to expand it.

After this modification, the master bedroom is twice as big.

Pei Yanning instantly had an idea in his mind.

The balcony can be divided into 2:4 to create a 12-square-meter room, which can be given to Lingxi and others to live in. A simple flush squat toilet can be built in the remaining 6 square meters, which is convenient.

I don’t know if I will stay here until Lingxi gives birth, but it’s better to be prepared. Lingxi will definitely need it in the later stages of her pregnancy, so I’d better prepare it first.

Zeng Jiawang looked relieved when he saw his reaction.

The task he received was to bring Pei Yanning back safely and settle him down.

Zeng Jiawang was one of the few people who knew that this person was at the same level as their factory director. His resume before he was transferred here was so brilliant that it could blind anyone. Many units were fighting for this person and almost had their brains beaten to a pulp.

He could have moved up the career ladder, but because this is his hometown, he would rather come back and become a deputy factory manager.

To be honest, it was a very difficult task for the Security Department.

Mainly!
The leaders of the factory, such as the factory director and deputy factory director, all live in large and spacious courtyards as long as they bring their families with them.

But there are only a few yards in the factory, and each one has its own pit. They can't change it now.

This house...

Although many people are eager to get it but cannot get it, it is still far inferior to the big compound.

But now...

They are really easy to get along with.

Thinking of this, Zeng Jiawang spoke more.

"Originally, we really didn't know how to accommodate you!
Thanks to Secretary Jin, she was transferred here a few days ago and took over the job of the old secretary. They are all secretaries! She was arranged here even without bringing her family.

But Secretary Jin thought it was a waste for her to live alone.

As luck would have it, a couple next door got divorced, and the house was taken back.

She chose the room next door without a balcony.”

Pei Yanning smiled: "I have to thank them very much."

People at this time are highly conscious and like to develop their own style.
