The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

When Liu Minghui renovated the house, he used some relatively old materials for the exterior, which were originally owned by the street office and Liu Minghui paid for them.

However, the materials used for interior decoration are relatively rare.

Nowadays, when ordinary people build houses, the ground is either compacted or left as is. The wealthy will just lay a layer of blue bricks, which is considered very good.

But Liu Minghui thought that blue bricks were not good and wanted to use marble to make them look better.

But these masters had no way of getting them, so Liu Minghui had no choice but to purchase them from Hong Kong Island through Lou Xiao'e, and then transport them over using the steel rolling mill's trucks.

And the tiles used to repair the toilet mentioned earlier were all brought back secretly by Liu Minghui himself from outside.

As a result, now I occasionally need to ask my second brother to help drive and transport goods.

Liu Minghui's second brother is still working in the purchasing department.

The daily work is very easy. I just need to transport goods to the steel mill.

These were all arranged by Liu Minghui. Now the Purchasing Department can be said to be the most relaxed department in the steel mill.

After all, Liu Minghui is a deputy factory director in charge of logistics. How could he be under any pressure?

In this way, three months passed quickly and the main structure of Liu Minghui's house was completed. Now all that was left was to decorate the interior.

This weekend, Liu Minghui, who had nothing to do, went out early with Yu Li and came to the new home to check the progress.

"Tsk, it looks pretty good."

As soon as she walked in, Yu Li said with emotion.

Yu Li was amazed at the exquisite craftsmanship of these masters who perfectly replicated the appearance.

"Haha, thank you for the compliment. Many of these are old materials, and the patterns on them are all original. We didn't use some that didn't match, and we carved them all ourselves."

The old master next to him heard this and said proudly.

He has been doing this job for decades and is certainly not stage-shy. No matter how high the demands are, he can always give his hosts a satisfactory explanation.

"I don't know how long it will take to stay in this house. Looking at the weather, it might snow soon. Will we have enough time?"

Liu Minghui looked around and asked the foreman.

"Well, the snow won't affect the house, it will probably take more than a month."

The other party took two puffs of his cigarette and answered.

Liu Minghui and Yu Li looked at each other.

"Then I have to prepare to pack my things and try to get a car to bring everything over."

Yu Li muttered to herself, after all, although there was nothing valuable at home, she couldn't just throw it away.

Yu Li still planned to clean up everything slowly first.

There will be no trouble then.

"It's okay. If there are too many, we can call our second brother next door to help. No, we don't need to call him, he will come to help."

Liu Minghui thought for a moment and then spoke again.

Many people knew that Liu Minghui was building a new house, but they were the kind of people who wouldn't talk about it. Only He Yuzhu's family knew about it.

At first He Yuzhu couldn't understand why Liu Minghui wanted to move away.

But when Liu Guangqi came back, he understood.

That’s right, Liu Guangqi returned to Siheyuan. Li Huaide was still trustworthy. After accepting the benefits from Liu Haizhong, he really did his job. Not long after, he really transferred Liu Guangqi back to Sijiucheng.

However, Liu Guangqi, who was originally a deputy section chief, certainly could not be a deputy section chief after coming to the Sijiucheng Steel Rolling Mill. After all, there were not so many positions for him.

In addition, Liu Haizhong couldn't afford the price, so Liu Guangqi could only work as a clerk in the end.

Of course, the staffing structure is still there in name, but it is announced to the public that there are no more positions, and we can only wait for a vacancy to come up.

Although the people have returned, the courtyard is no longer so peaceful. Now the middle courtyard is not as noisy as the back courtyard.

The main thing is that Liu Guangqi not only came back alone, but also brought his wife and children with him.

Originally, the Liu family's house consisted of one big house and three small ones, which was considered large in the courtyard, but there were quite a few members of the Liu family, including Liu Guangqi's family.

Now the Liu family had insufficient living space, and the first victim was of course Liu Guangtian.

Liu Guangtian was driven away by Liu Haizhong to live with his younger brother.

This made him very unhappy, and he made a fuss at home all day long.

According to Liu Guangtian's own thinking, he is old enough now and can get married in a year or two, but he still doesn't have his own room. It would be embarrassing to tell others about this.

He strongly requested Liu Haizhong to buy him a house, saying that he had to buy one when he got married in the future, whether it was now or not.

But Liu Haizhong's words made Liu Guangtian explode.

Because Liu Haizhong clearly said that if Liu Guangtian had the ability, he could just move out, get married, or buy a house, and he would not help him at all.

Of course, it is not that easy for Liu Guangtian to move out. Liu Haizhong’s meaning is very clear, that is, he helped Liu Guangtian find the job, and if Liu Guangtian wants to move out, he must pay the same amount of money every month.

Now Liu Guangtian is having a headache because of this matter. He decides to move away. If he tries hard, he may be able to find some decent houses with a rent of two or three yuan a month, which is barely affordable for him.

But Liu Haizhong said that he still had to pay fifteen yuan every month as before, which was something Liu Guangtian couldn't afford.

He is now an apprentice in a steel rolling mill, earning only 17.5 yuan a month. If he really moves away, he will starve to death.

Liu Guangtian felt like a nothing and just a fool, like a clown in front of his eldest brother's family.

Especially when he saw the way Liu Guangqi looked at him, he felt even more angry.

Afterwards, Liu Guangtian was not convinced and made the matter known to the entire hospital.

Liu Guangtian even found Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, hoping that they would help him and ask Liu Haizhong to agree to his request.

But what is frustrating is that although Yi Zhonghai and the other man also disliked Liu Haizhong's behavior, Liu Haizhong is Liu Guangtian's father after all, and there is no reason for outsiders to interfere in this matter.

Finally, Liu Guangtian even found Liu Minghui, wanting Liu Minghui to help say a few words. In his opinion, with his father's temper, if Liu Minghui really stood on his side, Liu Haizhong would definitely be scared and might even agree.

But how could Liu Minghui possibly interfere in other people's family affairs, so he finally rejected Liu Guangtian.

"Come on, wife, let's go home."

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Minghui suggested going back to the courtyard.

But Yu Li didn't want to leave, and even planned to go to her parents' home, which was not far away anyway.

But after thinking about it, Yu Li decided not to mention it. After all, she couldn't go there every day. If she did that, others might think that she had no food to eat at home and had to go to her mother's house for meals.

"Okay, stay here for a while, then you won't have to worry so much."

Yu Li also said this helplessly.

Because now there is not only Liu Guangtian bothering them in the hospital, but also Liu Guangqi, which makes the two of them very helpless.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t come here to look after get off work every day, because I don’t want to go back to the courtyard too early.
