Chapter 35: School District (1/2)
There were no secrets in the building, and nothing can be kept for long.
Rumors were always like this, whether it was true or false were spread out the fastest, and people can't help but add something else to the rumor to others when they hear it.
It’s just that the Xia family’s father and son have not had any conflicts with everyone, and there hasn't been anything bad enough for them to run on over to Teacher Xia for an explanation. As for Tang Hongjun and his wife, they were still very busy. Their status in the tube building has obviously gone far beyond here. There is no intersection in the interpersonal relationship, so no rumors have been made about them.
Chen Suling started her own company. In the past two years, her clothing business was booming. Not to mention that the factory has doubled. Even the car she usually drives is enough to buy two more houses here, although nobody can really tell, Chen Suling's car was real, and it wasn’t equipped by Tang Honjun, but it was a high-end car that she bought on her own.
Many people are jealous of the Xia family. In addition to Xia Ye's exceptionally good grades, the other is that they have a good relationship with the Tang family.
No matter how much money the Tang family made, it was only left to a little fool. Someone had run to persuade Chen Suling to have another child, and Chen Suling immediately became angry on the spot and reprimanded her and kicked her out of her house. The other women in the building did not dare to provoke them anymore. At the same time, they also gloated and felt that they were finished.
But now, the people in the building mumbled about these two families, and they didn't think it was good.
The Tang couple recognized Xia Ye as their godson. Isn't this a prospective college student with a high IQ? Who doesn’t already know that the Tang couple makes a lot of money? If Xia Ye recognizes them as relatives, wouldn’t that mean that he would have to take care of the little idiot of the Tang family in the future, but the benefits were clear to anyone, if it was them, they wouldn’t have to struggle for the next 20 years!
Some people calculated how much money Xia Ye would get from the Tang family; others were jealous of Tang Jinyu luck, a little fool, can even get a long-term meal ticket.
Rumors and speculation in the building were raging, but this didn’t stop the good luck of the Xia and Tang family.
The first being, Tang Hongjun who got promoted again. At the beginning of the year, he was promoted to two levels in a row this year. He is considered the youngest and most promising leader here.
Following that, was Teacher Xia who had found a new job and worked as a conductor in the City Symphony Orchestra. It is said that the leaders of the orchestra valued him very much. When he saw his resume, they immediately decided to hire him leave, and the salary was paid directly according to his annual salary.
In this era, the annual salary system is still a new term. Many people have only heard this statement in foreign-funded enterprises, but without exception, the annual salary is high. When the monthly salary is generally several hundred yuan, The annual salary of high-level talents is generally more than tens of thousands.
Teacher Xia's salary soon came out.
While washing clothes in the building, Aunt Sun went to the laundry room with a basin of clothes, and heard someone from the other side making a gasp noise, ”Oh my God, a salary of 70,000 yuan a year, isn't it more than 5000 a month?”
”No! I heard that this is only the basic salary. The leader over there said Teacher Xia is a talent, you know what happened to the previous conductor? They doubled the salary for Teacher Xia, and left the previous one behind!” My niece also works in the City Symphony Orchestra, they don’t pay her as much. It's usually more than 1000 yuan for each person, but it's nice that they are able to travel around with the orchestra!”
”Oh, do you go by plane?”
”Well, they sometimes go one or two times a month, you know how much they get from their performance fee? Along with their part-timers, adds up to a thousand dollars!”
The people who listened were too envious, and kept asking, Aunt Sun couldn't help but leaned over to ask: ”Mr. Xia really earns so much?”
The person who said it straightened their waist: ”No, my niece told me personally that Teacher Xia is a talent, not the same as us. Ah, I should have sent my child to Xia if I knew it. From the teacher's side, let him teach and feel the music environment a little bit.”
The people around then all made regretful sounds. Most of them had never been to a concert, and had only seen one from TV. The only impression they have is how luxurious concert halls were, and how many people wore neat tuxedos on stage. They felt that this job was mysterious and elegant, and how they make a lot of money, they once felt that they were envious of others.
Aunt Sun couldn't help but murmured, ”No matter how good it is, it's still a part-time job.”
The woman on the side chuckled softly: ”Sister Sun, what you said is wrong. What kind of career is this? He is a big talent hired by the city!”
The woman with that niece in the orchestra was also a little unhappy. She felt that Aunt Sun was not only looking down on Teacher Xia, but was also looking down on her niece, ”Sister Sun, if you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense. Let’s see how good your job gets you far in life! I am happy for Mr. Xia, but if you want to be so sour about it, then don't bring us down with you.”
Aunt Sun's face turned red: ”Who is sour, I just said it casually.”
The woman sneered and said bluntly: ”When you were trying to be a matchmaker for him, you didn’t ask him whether he wanted it or not. Your relatives know not to argue with your family in order to get money, and when you tried to make them get together with Teacher Xia, it was a huge joke to see!”
Aunt Sun’s previous matchmaker's intentions were exposed, and she became faceless, she didn't continue to wash her clothes, and left with the basin in her arms.
After she went back home, her face was still hot, and her heart was very sad. While she felt that the people in the laundry room were unreasonable and unforgiving, and what they said was the truth, she also felt that the Xia family and his son were deliberately avoiding her, which made her feel like she wasn't a good person from the inside or from outside now. But it was a month ago, but who knew that teacher Xia had found such a good job, Ah?
Aunt Sun sulked, and didn't plan to interact with the Xia family anymore.
This is what she had previously told herself, and a couple of days later, and her decision was about to be finalized.
At the end of the year, the two families of Xia and Tang had some good news, this time it was for both families.
They were moving together.
Tang Hongjun raised two levels in a row this year, and he is catching up with the division of the house.
Other leaders in the design institute have moved into their dream home. Tang Hongjun also had the opportunity two years ago, but in order to save money to treat his child, the couple was not willing to spend a penny. But in the past two years, his child was improving. They had this idea before, but they weren’t able to when Tang Jinyu got a fever, they were so scared during that time that they didn’t dare to move anywhere. They wanted to wait for some time for his child condition to stabilize before choosing a good place to live,
Now it’s a good time to divide the house. Tang Hongjun and his wife still have a sum of money given by Elder Tang, and there also people in his workplace that were selling houses for 5,000 yuan, and it was better than the houses on the market, and the quality was also better. Tang Hongjun went to discuss this with Teacher Xia, and planned to choose a better community together, so that two families would continue to be neighbors.
Xia Ye had a lot of money and wanted to use it for this, but Teacher Xia didn't want him to.
Teacher Xia smiled and said, ”if Uncle Tang can buy a house for Xiaoyu, then Dad can also buy a house for you too.”
With this sentence, Xia Ye gave up the thought of taking money out and nodded in agreement.
This is his dad's intention, even if it is the smallest house, he can live in peace of mind.
How could Tang Hongjun let their father and son buy a small house, and finally negotiated and bought two sets of duplexes. He was considered the owner of the unit, and had enough authority to buy a bigger house. Everyone has little money these days, the bigger the house, the less no one wants it. Even if the unit’s house is cheaper, he would have to spend a lot of money!
For the two sets of duplexes, The Tang family owned two meters of the front yard, and the Xia family owned the majority space of the backyard.
A small small 200-square-meter house, finely decorated, with a set of 160,000 yuan to spare.
