Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

After Xu Damao left Wang Jinshan's office, he directly called the young couple, who had just received their belongings, out of the steel rolling mill and borrowed a bicycle from the security department at the gate.

On the way to the subdistrict office, Xu Damao repeated the two solutions Wang Jinshan had proposed. "Brother Nan, what do you think we should do?"

"If I have to say, it would definitely be better to just buy it and build the house myself. This way, no matter what happens in the future, the house will always be mine. But I don't have enough money at hand!" Nan Yi held the handlebars with one hand and scratched his head with the other. Does he have to sell the treasure passed down from his ancestors?

"Go to the street office first, but if you don't have enough money, I have some here, I can lend it to you first." Xu Damao said. The people he brought here must help, and they will be neighbors in the future. Moth can have more companions, and can often go to eat for free, hehe.

"That's not good. I've been causing you a lot of trouble lately."

"What's wrong with that? You two are working and you're afraid you can't pay it back!"

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Brother Damao." Nan Yi thought that since he already owed a lot of favors to others, he might as well not bother two people and just remember the kindness he had received and repay it slowly.

Soon the three of them arrived at the street office, and Xu Damao took them directly to find Director Wang.

"Hey, Damao is here. Is there anything wrong?" Director Wang said.

"Aren't there two new employees who just finished their job applications and are coming to you to get a house?" Xu Damao said.

"Oh, it's them. Director Li called me just now. In principle, I agree, but I still recommend that you buy the foundation directly and build the house yourself."

When Nan Yi heard that both of them recommended this option, he made up his mind and turned to look at Ding Qiunan. Ding Qiunan also nodded affirmatively and said in a low voice: "Brother Yi, I still have some savings."

Nan Yi grabbed Ding Qiunan's hand and squeezed it hard before letting go. "Director Wang, how much is that piece of land? I want to buy it!"

"Okay, the foundation is relatively cheap. In that case, I'll take you to handle the formalities." Director Wang said, then stood up and took them to the Housing Management Department.

"Xiao Liu, they want to buy the old lady's room in the backyard of No. 95. Please find out how much it costs." Wang Lixia said.

"Okay, Director, it's the two rooms that were burned, right? I'll go look for the information. I revised it when we reclaimed it a few days ago." Xiao Liu from the Housing Management Section said.

In about five minutes, Xiao Liu brought the information over. "It's the foundation of two rooms in total. Since it's the main house in the backyard, the larger area is more than 60 square meters. The price is 120 yuan, and the new house cannot exceed the original planned area." (This is made up by the author. If you don't know the specific price, please don't criticize me)

Xu Damao said, "Director, the house is still in ruins. Should we clean it up ourselves or will the street be responsible? Yesterday, people in our courtyard dug up a lot of silver dollars, silver jewelry and other things in it. Because Jia Zhang and the Yan family had a fight, they finally called the police."

Director Wang heard this and said, "Oh, there is such a thing? These should be the property of the deaf old lady. We asked her if she had any property that day and she said no, otherwise we would not have sent her to the nursing home. This old lady is too smart and has made a mistake. Yesterday, the police station only notified us of the punishment and did not tell us the specific reason."

"We have to get all the things back. We agreed that the old lady's properties would be confiscated and she could live in a nursing home for free. So, Damao, when you go back, please notify me of a meeting in the evening and I will attend it. I will take a look at the ruins and arrange for people to clean it up within three days." Director Wang said.

Nan Yi and Ding Qiunan pooled together 50 yuan, and Xu Damao directly borrowed 100 yuan to finally get the money together and give it to Xiao Liu. After all, they didn't expect to spend so much money today, and most of the money and things were still in the dormitory of the machine repair factory.

Xiao Liu carefully counted the money, wrote a receipt and went through the transfer procedures. From now on, the homestead of the two rooms in the middle of the backyard belonged to Nan Yi, and all he had to do was build the house.

Xu Damao and the other two said goodbye to Director Wang and came to the street. "Brother Nan, it's not easy to rent a house now, but if you plan to rent a house first, I can help you."

"Oh, brother, does anyone you know want to rent this place out?" Nan Yi said with some confusion.

"My wife's dowry has been empty all this time and it's not far from the steel mill. However, the yard has never been occupied and is a bit shabby. If someone wants to live there, we have to clean it up," said Xu Damao.

At this moment, Nan Yi felt that Xu Damao was simply his destined benefactor. Before he even proposed a solution, he had already thought of a solution.

Nan Yi was about to agree when he heard Ding Qiunan say, "Brother Damao, I hope this won't be too much trouble for you."

"Hey, what's the big deal? The yard is empty anyway, and you can help look after it. Yes, I'll take you over to have a look now, so we can clean it up earlier." Xu Damao said as he got on his bicycle and led the way, with the young couple following behind.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the small courtyard of the Lou family's dowry. Xu Damao pretended to take out the key from his bag, but actually took it out from the space, and opened the door.

There was a creaking sound, and the old and heavy gate was opened, and three people filed in. Xu Damao introduced as he walked: "This is a two-courtyard house, the front and back are basically the same, the main house plus the side rooms, and the front has been converted into a warehouse, you can live wherever you want."

Nan Yi and Ding Qiunan were a little surprised to see such a large courtyard. What kind of family would give a courtyard with two entrances as a dowry?

"We can live in the room in the front yard, which is easier to clean. I'll pay you the rent according to the market price, so don't be polite with me." Nan Yi said.

"What rent? Talking about money between us brothers will hurt feelings. Besides, I'm not short of money. Just cook for me more often after you move in. After eating your cooking, I'm not used to the dishes my wife and I cook." Xu Damao was a bit modest when he said this. But it's true that the food is not as delicious as Nan Yi's. Besides, why should he cook for himself when he has a free chef with superb cooking skills to serve him?

"Okay then, it's no problem for me to cook for you every day from now on." Nan Yi said, patting his chest.

"That's what you said. From now on, you and I won't cook anymore and will go to your house for meals every day." Xu Damao immediately took the opportunity to do so.

"Okay, no problem. I tell you, there is no such thing as a free lunch or a free dinner. When the time comes, bring your food here, and I'll make it for you."

"Okay, I will definitely go. Anyone who doesn't keep his word is a dog!"

"Here, pull the hook."

"Just come."

Ding Qiunan couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw the two of them fooling around. The world of men is actually very simple. These two like-minded people became close friends as soon as they met. Moreover, men are young until they die, but many women don't really try to understand it.
