Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Marry your daughter yourself.

It has to be a grand celebration at this time.

This is obviously an eye-opener, it's hard not to attract attention.

In principle, Xu Damao refused.

"Isn't this a bad idea? At this critical moment..."

Father Li waved his hand indifferently and said, "Please keep your worries to yourself. I will help you solve the problem."

"Of course we can't let it affect you at this critical moment. We'll hold it seriously after we return from martial arts training."

Xu Damao really wanted to refuse, but now it was just an anticipation, and he couldn’t tell what would happen in the future.

Maybe something will change.

So just agree to it for now and we’ll talk about the future later.

There is no need to say something spoiling the fun for a plan.

"Then wait until you come back from martial arts training."

This matter was considered over, but Father Li did not stop there, but started talking about another matter.

"Since you plan to go to the street office to register tomorrow, shouldn't your housing problem be improved?"

"Xuewu said that you only have two rooms in the courtyard of Nanluoguxiang. You live very tight. What if you have children in the future? There is no room for them."

Xu Damao doesn't want to leave the courtyard house now, so he also talked about buying a courtyard house in Yangjing Hutong nearby.

Please bear with Ding Qiunan for now.

Father Li did not have a clear opinion, but waited for the attendant to take out a map of the city.

"Yangjing Hutong, oh here, there's no good yard here."

Then he pointed to the circled area on the map and said: "Here, here, there used to be large mansions, and the worst ones were two-story houses. Currently, these circled areas are uninhabited."

"Pick one. Consider it my registration gift to you."

Xu Damao:......

This is too grand. Although most of the courtyards here are two-story, there are also some three-story courtyards.

As for where the owner went and why it became public property, Xu Damao didn't know.

Anyway, it's nothing more than moving away from the old city, abandoning home and property, and even giving up the ancestral home.

This is different from the Lou family. The Lou family left after the negotiation, but those people should have just run away.

Or they broke the law and were thrown into jail or their houses were confiscated.

There are only these two situations.

Another type is the buildings left over from the previous dynasty. These were originally public property, but these good things have not survived to the present day, and it is not Xu Damao's turn to own them.

"I'm used to living in a courtyard house, and I'm a little reluctant to move out suddenly..."

"The conditions in the compound are so harsh, how can you get used to living there? I think you are used to living a hard life."

"I can't help it. I've been used to a hard life since I was a child."

Seeing that Xu Damao was determined, Father Li began to look back and forth on the map.

The slum is also a three-story courtyard, but it is too dilapidated and too small.

The courtyard where Xu Damao lives is said to have three entrances, but in fact the yard has shrunk too much.

At the very least, there should be flowers, ponds, plants and flowers in the yard, but there is nothing else, not even a view. Even some wealthy families don't have second courtyards.

Look at the courtyard houses in Shijia Hutong. Those are the courtyard houses where real dignitaries and nobles live. Not to mention pavilions and towers, there are also waterside terraces, flowers, ponds, and weeping willows.

In comparison, Xu Damao lives in a very small courtyard house with three entrances.

No wonder no one thought highly of it. It eventually turned into a slum and became the staff quarters of a steel mill.

After much selection, Mr. Li finally chose a courtyard house with two entrances that was closer to Nanluoguxiang.

Overall, it is much larger than a siheyuan, in terms of floor space. If the number of room pillars is compared, the siheyuan is more than three times larger.

There is no way around it. It’s like this in all shantytowns. In order to accommodate more people, you have to build more houses.

"This courtyard is close to Nanluoguxiang. I'm giving it to you as a gift. I'll have someone wait on the street tomorrow and deliver the key to the courtyard."

Xu Damao:......

Is this to deliver the keys, or to confirm that he and Li Tianjiao have registered?

"Okay, I'll take over the yard. I'll move in when I have children."

Anyway, no matter what Li's father gave him, Xu Damao had no plans to move out of the courtyard.

If he wanted to move, he would have moved long ago. Although all of the Lou family's properties except the ancestral home were donated, Lou's father left several houses for Lou Xiao'e, and the keys were in Xu Damao's hands.

Perhaps some of the empty houses in the gardens on the map were donated by the Lou family.

"Are those two rooms in the compound so important to you? They don't even have a view, so what kind of courtyard is that?"

Xu Damao:......

"I was born there, grew up there, and walked step by step to where I am today, all in those two rooms...Although the house is small, it is very important to me, and it is my blessed place!"

“Without those two rooms, there would be no me today.”

Xu Damao did not continue to speak, because if he said anything further, it would fall into the category of feudal superstition.

Father Li naturally didn't believe that the two houses could be so magical.

If that were true, it should have been protected long ago. The previous dynasty should have done so.

But the result is that over the years, the people in the courtyard have changed one after another, and no one is reluctant to stay.

Thinking about it this way, Xu Damao must have been talking nonsense.

When it comes to Feng Shui and the like, many people would rather believe it than not believe it, and this is especially true as they get older.

Young people are least afraid of these.

Don’t understand, but respect.

That's what Mr. Li is like.

Feudal superstition is not desirable, but if you don’t say it and I don’t say it, no one will know.

"Do you really think so?"

Xu Damao thought about Qin Huairu and gave a positive answer.

This is equivalent to admitting that one is feudal and superstitious.

Fortunately, the Li family is already one of ours.

"If that's the case, then you really can't leave your hometown..."

Father Li looked back and forth on the map.

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who caused the problem.

"This compound is the steel mill's staff quarters. Tianjiao, you used to work at the steel mill, is that right?"

Li Tianjiao nodded in affirmation.

Xu Damao was relieved to see that Li's father's attitude had softened.

Now he didn't want to have any more disputes with the Li family, especially this cheap father-in-law.

It's not a good habit to pull out a gun when you disagree with something.

Father Li pondered for a while and said, "Sijiu City used to be the imperial city. Logically speaking, Nanluoguxiang is not... Never mind. It's just a steel mill family compound. I'll find someone to move all the residents out and build a building for them to live in."

"Then renovate the compound so that it at least looks like the real thing."

“That makes everyone happy.”

Xu Damao:......

Could it be that Mr. Li is really a talented person?

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem.
