Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

After breakfast, Lin Ping went out to the west courtyard, and seeing that the door was sealed, he climbed up the wall to look at the general terrain and made a plan in his mind. He returned home and drew a floor plan. The three main rooms would serve as the main house, the west wing would be renovated into a bathroom and toilet, and a kitchen would be built next to the east wing. However, water needed to be brought into the toilet and bathroom, so he needed to go to the street office to apply for it.

The houses were restored and rebuilt in their original style, and a door was installed on the moon gate in the corridor, making it a separate house with its own courtyard.

After lunch, he went to the street and applied for water diversion from Director Wang first, and then took Zhang Jianguo back to the courtyard.

Auntie San looked at Lin Ping and his engineering team member Zhang Jianguo coming in and asked, "Pingzi, what are you doing?"

Lin Ping did not hide it. He could not hide it anyway, so he said with a smile: "Auntie San, my company has allocated me a house, so I brought people to look at it and prepare to renovate it."

Auntie San was startled when she heard that. She thought to herself, how could there be any empty houses in the yard? So she said, "Pingzi, there are no empty houses in our yard. Did you make a mistake?" Then she remembered something and said, "You are not talking about the houses in the west wing, are you? Those houses are dangerous and cannot be lived in."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "It's okay. Brother Zhang is here. Just fix it." After saying that, he walked towards the yard.

Zhang Jianguo came to the west wing, and the two of them broke open the wall. Zhang Jianguo looked at the blueprint in his hand and said, "Boss, it will cost a lot to rebuild according to your plan."

Lin Ping waved his hand and said, "Just give me your price."

Zhang Jianguo thought about it and said, "Not including food, seven rooms cost 1,500 yuan, and you have to pay 1,000 yuan for food first." (Three main rooms, two east and two west rooms, this is the picture drawn by Lin Ping himself.)

Lin Ping thought the offer was reasonable and nodded, saying, "Okay." After that, he took out some money from his pocket, counted out a thousand yuan and handed it to Zhang Jianguo. In fact, he took it out from the space in the ring.

Zhang Jianguo took the money and said with a smile: "Boss, don't worry, I promise to get it done in a month." After that he strode away. This was a big job and he had to find people quickly.

When Yan Fugui came back in the afternoon, he heard that the Lin family's boys had divided the houses. He said enviously, "The Lin family has never been short of houses, and now they are even richer." But then he sighed when he thought about his own family of six still squeezed into two rooms.

Auntie San said, "You know the house in the west wing. It's not much different to buy it yourself. It's not cost-effective. I don't know if the boy from the Lin family was tricked by someone."

Yan Fugui then remembered that there was no house in the yard, only the dilapidated house in the west wing. He started to think. Seeing that the family was short of housing, it would be inconvenient for Yan Jie Di to live there when she was older. So he said, "Old lady, do you think we should buy a house in the west wing? Then Jie Di will have a house when she gets married."

Auntie San hesitated and said, "But is it appropriate to buy the house in the west wing? If I buy it, I have to rebuild it myself, which will cost a lot of money."

Yan Fugui shook his head and said, "The houses in the west wing are all dangerous. We are buying them now to help the street solve its problems. It shouldn't be too expensive. Isn't this the Lin family kid who is renovating it? It's a good opportunity to get some materials, which will save us a little money later."

Auntie San thought about it and felt that what the old man said was right. She smiled and said, "It has to be you, old man."

Yan Fugui said proudly: "That's right. If you can eat and drink well, you won't be poor. If you don't plan well, you will be poor. I will go to the street to ask about the house in the west wing." After that, he left in a hurry.

When Yan Fugui came out from the street, his face was full of disbelief. He thought to himself, no wonder Lin Ping was given such a big yard. It turned out that Lin Ping was the deputy chief of the security department of the steel rolling mill.

Yi Zhonghai and the others returned to the yard and learned that Lin Ping had been allocated a house in the west wing. Although they didn't know which room it was, it still made people envious and jealous, especially Qin Huairu, who was now regretting it so much.

Jia Zhang cursed and said, "The Lin family has three large rooms, how can they divide the rooms? If they want to divide them, they should give them to our family. We are the only family in the courtyard that is short of housing."

Jia Dongxu said solemnly, "It should be the house that was allocated to him by his work unit after he recovered."

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when she heard this and she said, "Dongxu, can you also apply for a separate room? You have to know that when we have a child, we won't have room for everyone at home."

Jia Dongxu thought, what's the point of giving him a house? He is a replacement worker and his current house belongs to the steel mill. How can he be given another house? So he said unhappily, "What do you know? The west wing is full of dilapidated houses. If he gets a house, he has to rebuild it himself. What's the difference between that and buying one? It's better to buy one. Then it will be private property."

Qin Huairu thought about it and felt that what Jia Dongxu said was correct. Lin Ping must have been schemed against when he was young. But she didn't know that it would be impossible to buy a house after the public-private partnership was completed. So she nodded and smiled, "Our Dongxu still understands."

Jia Zhang also nodded and said, "Huai Ru, our family is not short of money. When the street repairs the house, we will buy one."

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she thought it would be a good idea to marry Jia Dongxu.

Yan Fugui returned home and pulled Auntie San into the house and said, "Old woman, you should get along well with the Lin family in the future."

Auntie San was annoyed when she heard this: "The Lin family didn't offend me, why shouldn't I get along with them?"

Yan Fugui glared at Auntie San and said, "What do you know? The good thing I said is that if there is any problem in the courtyard, you should help the Lin family more."

Auntie San was puzzled and asked, "Old man, didn't you say that we should try to stay out of the courtyard's affairs?"

Yan Fugui sighed, "The Lin family has become rich. You don't know that today when I went to the street to ask about the house, I found out that the entire west wing was allocated to Lin Ping. I also found out that Lin Ping is the deputy chief of the security department of the steel rolling mill. This is a powerful leader. If the relationship between our two families is good, is there hope that the job can be solved in the future?"

Auntie San exclaimed, "The Lin family kid is the deputy chief of the security department of the steel mill!"

Yan Fugui quickly covered Auntie San's mouth and said, "Keep your voice down. Don't let the whole courtyard know about it. Otherwise, how can we get along well with the Lin family first?"

Auntie San nodded quickly and said, "Yes, old man, you are right, but how can we establish a good relationship with the Lin family?"

Yan Fugui pondered and said, "The Lin family members are not fools. We don't need to deliberately try to get close to them. You just need to help them more in normal times. If you do too much, people will not like you."

Auntie San hesitated and said, "But sooner or later, people in the hospital will know that Lin Ping is the section chief."

Yan Fugui smiled and said, "It looks like Lin Ping will be resting at home for a few days. This is our chance."

The next day, Lin Ping got up early and took Lin Xuan out to play. They first had breakfast at the door, then went to Shichahai, had roast duck at Bianyifang for lunch, and went for a walk on the flyover in the afternoon. When they got home, Lin Xuan ran into the house holding the clothes Lin Ping bought, showing off, "Mom, sister-in-law, Erguo bought me clothes."

Wang Xiuzhi touched Lin Xuan's little head, looked at Lin Ping who was carrying a lot of bags, and scolded: "You prodigal son, you are uncomfortable with a little money, right? We haven't finished eating the meat from yesterday, and you are buying more today?"

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Mom, my salary is enough for me, you don't have to worry about me. Come and try the clothes I bought for you and sister-in-law to see if they fit. If not, I'll change them."
