Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

Yang Chong parked his car in front of the neighborhood committee, took a pheasant, put it in a bag and walked in.

Although Director Li was very friendly, Yang Chong always felt it was inappropriate to ask someone to do something for him without bringing some gifts. He had plenty of pheasants and rabbits anyway, so he could just do a favor.

It was still early when we arrived at the neighborhood committee. There was not only Director Li inside, but also two young comrades from the street.

Seeing Yang Chong coming in, Director Li immediately stood up and greeted him warmly: "Chongzi, how come you have time to come here today? Don't you have to go to work? I heard that you are now the chief engineer of the steel rolling mill. You must be very busy at work, right?"

Yang Chong smiled and said, "Aren't there relatives coming from my hometown? They have to come and register with you." Then he sat down on the stool in front of Director Li and casually put the bag of pheasants under Director Li's desk.

"Oh? Are there relatives from your hometown coming? What relatives? How long do they plan to stay?" Director Li took out the registration book and started registering.

"They are Xiu'er's brother and sister-in-law, and their little nephew, a family of three. This is their letter of introduction." Yang Chong said as he took out the letter of introduction he had written when he first came out.

Director Li registered everything according to what was written on the letter of introduction. While registering, he asked, "You are Xiu'er's brother and sister-in-law. They are relatives. How many days do you plan to stay here this time?"

Yang Chong said, "Director Li, I won't hide it from you. They are not planning to go back for the time being. I want to find a job for them in the city so that they can at least have something to eat. You don't know that they can't even get enough food in their hometown right now. They are suffering a lot."

Director Li nodded and said, "Our city is in such a difficult situation, so the situation over there must be much worse than here. Besides, at least you can take care of them now, which is a good thing."

As he said this, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Yang Chong: "If they live here for a long time, will your living space be tight?"

Yang Chong smiled and said, "Director Li, you are very understanding of the people. I came here today to ask you to think of a way to find two houses nearby for them to stay in. It doesn't matter how much the rent is, whether it is rented or bought."

Director Li smiled even more brightly than him: "Chongzi, you are so lucky. Just yesterday, a family moved to No. 94 Courtyard next to yours. The man used to be a worker in your steel mill, but now he has been transferred to work in the power plant, and his family has moved to Xicheng. As a result, the two rooms in their house are vacant, and they haven't had time to arrange for them yet. Now that you are here, I'll give them to you."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chong thanked him repeatedly: "Director Li, thank you so much, you have really helped me a lot. I would also like to thank you on behalf of Xiu'er and her brother and sister-in-law."

Director Li smiled and waved his hands: "We are all serving the people, why thank me. Besides, you are a sensible and polite child, and you have done so many good things for the street. How can I not do my best for you first?"

Yang Chong has always been grateful to Director Li. He often sent some pheasants and rabbits to the neighborhood committee whenever he had time. During the Chinese New Year, he even sent more than a dozen bags of flour and dozens of kilograms of pork to the neighborhood committee. Now, not only Director Li, but also other people in the street smiled when they saw him.

"Okay, Director Li, I won't be so polite. How do you calculate the price of this house?" Yang Chong said.

Director Li said, "This house cannot be sold. I can only rent it to you. I will charge you three dollars a month. Is that okay with you?"

Yang Chong said, "Of course, we'll do whatever you say." He immediately paid the three-year rent of 108 yuan. Director Li wrote a note and took a bunch of keys from the wall. "Come on, I'll take you to see the house and tell the people in the courtyard."

This should be there, otherwise people in the hospital will not agree.

The two men came to the yard, and Yang Chong directly called Yu Guang over. The two men followed Director Li into Yard 94.

It was still working hours, so most of the people in the courtyard were women and elderly people, and the men in charge of the family had basically gone to work or out to chores.

Seeing Director Li leading two outsiders in, they were all confused, but they were all familiar with Yang Chong. After all, Yang Chong was a big celebrity in the steel mill during this period, and many of the workers in the yard were from the steel mill, so these family members were also very familiar with him and knew that he was now a big leader of the steel mill.

The two uncles in charge of the courtyard also worked in the steel rolling mill and were not here at the moment. Director Li called their wife over and introduced that Yu Guang would be the resident of the two houses in the future. He asked them to take care of each other and not bully those who had just come from the countryside.

Director Li also specifically mentioned: "This is the brother of Chief Engineer Yang's wife. Your boss and Chief Engineer Yang both know each other."

The women naturally knew what was good for them, and quickly said with a smile, "That's a must. Chief Engineer Yang's relatives must be good people. It's an honor for us to live here."

"Okay, then you guys look around and take your time to pack up. I'll go back to the street first." Director Li had a lot of things to do, so he left after settling them down.

At this time, Yu Guangcai said to Yang Chong with gratitude: "Chongzi, I really don't know how to thank you. You brought my family here from far away and found a house for us to live in."

Yang Chong quickly stopped him from talking: "Brother, stop talking. We are a family, isn't it normal for us to do this? Oh, there is one more thing I haven't told you. I have already made an agreement with the First Steel Plant. You and your sister-in-law can go to work there tomorrow."

Yu Guang was shocked when he heard this: "Chongzi, you are kidding me, right? The First Steel Plant must be a state-owned plant, right? How can it be so easy to get a job there? In our place, to get a job in a state-owned plant, you have to spend a lot of money, find a lot of people, and run around for a long time, and it may not work. You got it done in just a short while? And it's for both me and your sister-in-law?"

Yang Chong smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you yesterday? Their factory director and I are close friends, and we have a very good relationship. This matter can be settled just by talking about it."

Yu Guang sighed and shook his head, saying, "You are really capable. Xiu'er is so lucky to have met you. Our whole family has benefited from it." Then he remembered, "By the way, our work must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Yang Chong shook his head: "It didn't cost much, so don't worry about the money. Just settle down and work hard. As for Xiao Shanzi, I've thought about it for you. Isn't the third aunt in the courtyard at home free? Just leave Xiao Shanzi to her and give her two yuan a month."

Yu Guang nodded gratefully: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
