Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

In the end, he was no match for Wei Shengli.

In the hottest weather in July, without air conditioning.

I had a hot pot that made me sweat all over.

Wei Shengli simply wanted to kill Fang mercilessly.

But never mind, he's our childhood friend after all.

Fang Xiang could only endure it.

After eating and drinking, the two pushed their bicycles to the gate of their newly purchased yard.

Fang wanted to tear off the seal, take out the key and open the door.

The yard was very different from the last time Fang came here.

No one takes care of it regularly, so weeds grow wildly on the ground.

But fortunately, everything in the house is still the same.

It was just that the bed in the master bedroom of the main house was made in a messy manner.

At first glance, it was obviously left by the person who occupied this yard before.

Fang Xiang threw it directly at the gate of the yard with disgust, waiting for someone passing by to pick it up tomorrow morning.

Don't underestimate these things, they will be thrown directly into the trash in later generations.

Now it is something that many people rarely see.

Or, you can sell it on the black market or trust market for a little money.

Or, just wash it clean and use it yourself.

Then the two of them went to the well and drew a few buckets of water.

Standing in the yard, I took a shower with my naked butt.

Wash off the sweat that appeared on your body while eating hot pot.

In the end, I just lay on the bed and spent the night.

Anyway, it's hot now and they are both about 18 or 9 years old.

I slept until dawn.

Sure enough, the mattress and quilt thrown away at the door had disappeared.

After Wei Shengli took Fang Xiang to the police station on his bicycle.

Fang Xiangcai drove back to the courtyard of Donghuamen.

Carry the things in the car into the yard, and then take advantage of the fact that no one is around.

Took out some personal belongings from the space.

I simply tidied up the study and made it barely habitable.

As for the other rooms, Fang Xiang was too lazy to clean them.

Even though it was early in the morning, I started sweating as soon as I moved.

After sitting in the study and thinking for a long time, Fang decided to go to the trust store and department store to have a look.

Can you buy a few air conditioners?

Even a window type is fine, any price is acceptable.

In this horrible weather, life would be unbearable without air conditioning.

However, as to whether the wires could withstand the pressure, it was no longer within Fang Xiang’s consideration at this point.

But unfortunately, after looking around, I found that there was no air conditioner for sale.

Air conditioners are definitely a rare item these days.

Not only can ordinary people not buy it, the chance of even seeing it is very small.

Fortunately, when I went back to see Wei Shengli for lunch at noon.

The decoration work is beginning to take shape.

"I found out that there is a guy named Yangshi Lei.

In the past, he was responsible for the repair and decoration of the imperial palace.

I'm afraid he is one of the few people in the city who can do something remarkable.

I have written down the address for you, just go find him directly."

Wei Shengli held the red bean popsicle that Fang Xiang brought him.

Tear off a piece of paper and write a location.

"Okay, then I won't treat you to dinner, I really have no appetite.

Let's find a cool place to eat in the evening."

Fang Xiang waved his hand weakly.

After driving for a while, we arrived at the south city and found the address on the paper in a bunch of narrow alleys.

"Who are you looking for?"

An old man who was enjoying the cool in the yard saw Fang Xiang coming in and asked vigilantly.

"Does Yangshi Lei live here?"

Fang Xiang saw this old man and found that his age matched. Could it be that?

"Why are you looking for him?"

The vigilance in the old man's eyes became more and more intense.

“I just bought a yard and want to renovate it.

A friend introduced me here.”

Fang Xiang took out a pack of Peony cigarettes from his pocket, took one and handed it over.

"I am. What's the situation with your yard?"

When the old man heard Fang Xiang’s words, the vigilance in his eyes instantly disappeared.

He took the cigarette that Fang Xiang handed over, put it under his nose and smelled it from beginning to end.

Then, with a look of reluctance, he clipped it on his ear.

"It's at Donghuamen. Come on, I'll take you to see it."

Fang Xiang took a look and saw that it was indeed him, so he turned around and prepared to lead the way.

"Wait for me a moment. I need to borrow a bicycle."

The old man hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"I have a car, let's go."

Fang Xiang took a look and it seemed that this old man was not living a good life.

Even the bicycle has to be borrowed.

Just as he walked out of the courtyard and to the entrance of the alley, Fang wanted to take out the key and open the car door.

“Is this your car?”

Lei, who had changed his honorific style, looked at the jeep in shock.

"Well, get in the car."

Fang wanted to get in the car, so he reached out, opened the passenger door and gestured.

Yangshi Lei came closer cautiously, and with a strange posture, he moved in little by little.

Obviously, he has never been in a car.

But Fang Xiang didn't say anything.

Nowadays, there are many people who have never ridden in a car.

After teaching Lei how to close the car door, he stepped on the accelerator and arrived at Donghuamen.

“It’s this yard.”

After parking the car and opening the gate, Fang wanted to stretch out his hand, signaling Yangshi Lei that he could go in and take a look.

At this time, Yangshi Lei looked like he was drunk.

But pretended nothing happened.

Needless to say, I got carsick.

But Fang Xiang would not expose him.

Instead, he gave a brief introduction and explanation of the situation in the yard and his expectations.

"You mean the place to plant trees between the main house and the east and west wing rooms.

Add two bathrooms with showers?

Does the toilet have a flushable seat?

Take a shower and connect it to hot water that can be boiled?

Then will the main room and the east and west wing rooms be equipped with air conditioners? "

After Yangshi Lei followed Fang Xiang, he spoke up to confirm.

“Well, these two positions are the only ones that are suitable.

The fruit trees and lawn are discarded and a bathroom is built to connect the main house and the wing room.

Shower and toilet, can you get it?"

Fang Xiang nodded, and suddenly thought, these days, there wouldn’t even be shower heads and toilets, right?

"It is possible, but the price..."

Yangshi Lei was a little hesitant.

“The sewer needs to go to the sewage pipe outside, and I don’t want any backflow.

Also, the shower area must be waterproof.

It is best to connect the hot water pipes to the floor heating in the back house.

By the way, can you also help me check how the floor heating is laid? If it doesn’t work well, fix it as soon as possible.

Finally, the gate of the courtyard needs to be renovated to allow cars to enter.

Clean up the yard as well, it would be best if there is space for two cars to park.

As for the price, make a budget.

If it’s suitable, I’ll give you the deposit today and we can start work tomorrow.”

Fang Xiang was too lazy to say more to him and just stated all his requirements.

"Wait a minute, I need to do the math..."

Yangshi Lei's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out paper and pen from his pocket and started writing and drawing.

“It costs about 60 yuan to build two houses, which is a good deal.

I'll have to ask someone about the toilet and shower. I guess the price is not low, at least thirty or forty yuan.

Air conditioning is a bit troublesome, but it is possible to buy it. It’s just more expensive. I’ll have to ask for the exact price.

What is not clear now is the length of the pipe.

I can’t calculate the exact budget, but it’s going to be at least 600, and the construction period... It will take about ten days.

If the distance of the sewage pipe is short, the price can be even lower.

In addition, if you connect a pipeline, you must report it to the street office.”

Soon, Yangshilei calculated the budget.

“This is a deposit of one hundred dollars.

Try to shorten the construction period and hire more workers.

When it's time to buy something, I have to go, you can't make the decision on your own.

Leave the sewage reporting matter to me.

How about starting tomorrow?"

Fang Xiang was not vague and was too lazy to bargain.

As long as Shi Lei doesn't do anything wrong, no one will dare to kill him.

He quickly took out ten big unity notes from his pocket (space) and clapped them in his palms.

"Yes! I'll find a few more people and ensure that everything is completed within a week."

Yangshi Lei's throat moved up and down several times, his eyes fixed on Great Unity.

"You won't cut corners, will you?"

Fang Xiang suddenly withdrew his hand that was handing over the money, and thought of those decorators in later generations.

Basically, I'll cheat as many people as I can.

It may look magnificent on the surface, but within a few years, everything will be exposed.

"Look at what you said, since you can find me, you must know my abilities.

As for cheating people, I'm not stupid.

These days, you can afford and buy a small courtyard like this, and drive a car with military license plates.

It's not someone I can afford to offend.

We are just earning hard-earned money.”

Yangshi Lei bent down with a harmless expression.
