Siheyuan Shangpeng

He Yuzhu was not annoyed by Xu Damao's words. He stood at the door with Shang Peng holding umbrellas. The two of them just looked at Xu Damao. Finally, Xu Damao was speechless and had to say, "Why? Do you two like to walk in the rain? Or are you preparing to bloom?"

He Yuzhu and Shang Peng then walked in with a smile. Looking at the meal Xu Damao was eating, He Yuzhu couldn't help but said with contempt: "You only eat this? Okay, don't eat it anymore..." As he said that, he snatched away Xu Damao's meal.

Xu Damao swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty and replied anxiously: "No, man, I'm not full yet. What else can I eat if I don't eat this? I don't have cooking skills like you, and someone provides me with ingredients."

He Yuzhu burst into laughter, and then said to Xu Damao, "Xiaopeng is treating us to dinner tonight, so let's grill some hotpot for him. Do you want to go? If you still want to eat, I'll give it to you." After saying that, he handed the food to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao looked at He Yuzhu and then at Shang Peng. After Shang Peng nodded in confirmation, he pushed the food aside and said, "Who wants to eat these when there are delicious foods? I'm just waiting for this meal tonight. Haha..."

He Yuzhu and Shang Peng laughed together, and then He Yuzhu said, "Let's go, men, let's go get Guangqi. We can't just eat and not work, right?"

Xu Damao stood up suddenly, pulled He Yuzhu and was about to leave the house, saying, "Let's go quickly. We must work hard and make a living."

He Yuzhu quickly grabbed Xu Damao and said, "Take the umbrella, take the umbrella, it's raining!"

Xu Damao finally reacted, took out an umbrella from the inner room, and walked out of the house with He Yuzhu, leaving Shang Peng in the house shaking his head and following him out, closing the door of Xu Damao's house. Xu Damao lived in the backyard and usually did not lock the door. After all, Second Aunt was at home all year round, and in the backyard, one had to pass through two checkpoints in the front and middle yards to get in, so it didn't matter whether the door was locked or not.

Three people came to the door of Liu Haizhong's house and called Liu Guangqi together. Liu Guangqi had graduated from technical secondary school for several years. After all, he was a technical secondary school student and was assigned to a factory in Sijiucheng as a technician. Recently, he was discussing with Liu Haizhong whether he could find a way to transfer him to the steel mill. The performance of the factory he was in was not very good. He also said that he was being pursued by the daughter of a leader in the factory. The leader said that he would take him to another place and get him a small official position. He had not thought about it yet. In fact, Liu Guangqi did not like that woman, and he could not offend the leader. He could only ask Liu Haizhong for help to transfer him to the steel mill. Liu Haizhong was also worried. He had hoped to have an official position all his life. If he could not do it himself, he would put all his hopes on the boss. Seeing that the boss was about to retire, such a thing happened. What should he do if the boss and the leader went to another place?

Just as the father and son were discussing in the house, the voices of Shang Peng and others were heard outside the door. Liu Haizhong didn't take it seriously and motioned to the second aunt to open the door. After the three of them entered the house, he explained their purpose. Liu Guangqi's eyes lit up. Isn't this just giving you a pillow when you're sleepy? He agreed without saying a word, and then went out directly with Xu Damao sharing an umbrella.

The second uncle and second aunt were left in the room, looking worried.

The four of them strolled to the front yard again, called Yan Jiecheng, and the five-member team went directly to Shang Peng's courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, it was the first time for everyone including He Yuzhu to come to Shang Peng's courtyard. After all, it had just been renovated, and Shang Peng had only come in once in the morning.

The four of them looked left and right, and all of them thought it was good. It was Xu Damao who asked, "Xiaopeng, how much did it cost to finish this house?"

Shang Peng thought for a moment and replied, "Not counting the labor, it cost nearly three thousand. The main reason is that the place is expensive. It cost eighteen thousand to buy it. The decoration materials were all bought from the factory. The labor was paid five hundred by the construction team in the factory. The total cost was nearly four thousand after all the miscellaneous expenses."

The four people heard that they couldn't afford it. Shang Peng said with a smile: "This one has property rights, which means this yard will be my private house in the future. If you are allocated a house, you don't have to make it so good first. Wait until you have a chance to get a private house in the future and make it well. I will give you the design drawings for free."

At this time Xu Damao suddenly asked: "Xiaopeng, I know this kang, but what is this?" Xu Damao pointed at the heater and asked.

"This is heating, and it's the same principle as the fire wall in my eldest brother's house. I wasn't at home when his house was being renovated, so he could only build a fire wall. Mine is like the stove in our house. When I buy some noodles and burn them in the stove, the whole house will be warm." Shang Peng gave a brief explanation.

Hearing that the house could be heated, Xu Damao quickly asked, "Can my house be heated? How much does it cost?"

Shang Peng thought about Xu Damao's house and said, "It can be done, but, Brother Damao, you are going to show movies in the countryside soon, right? This thing is full of water. If you leave it for a long time in winter, it will freeze easily. If it freezes, your whole house will be flooded!"

Xu Damao said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'm getting married in October, and my wife will be at home to keep warm."

Shang Peng nodded and replied, "Okay, then you can find Master Zhao from the special workshop and ask him to do three groups for you, no, five groups, your wife's house... you can get coal anyway. By the way, let Brother Zhuzi take you there, otherwise you won't be able to find anyone and it will be easy for the security department to misunderstand you."

Xu Damao nodded to show that he understood. At this time, He Yuzhu also asked, "What about me? Xiaopeng? Can my room be fixed?"

Shang Peng looked at He Yuzhu and asked directly, "Don't you know that your house has been installed? You are really amazing. You don't even know how many things there are in your house? I have had people finish the bedroom and Yu Shui and her room. If you don't have coal, come to me or my brother. The coal tickets you have are not enough to burn."

He Yuzhu scratched his head and muttered, "Why didn't I see that?"

Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi burst into laughter. They were not jealous, after all, they were cousins.

At this time, Liu Guangqi became angry and asked Shang Peng: "Xiaopeng, I want to discuss something with you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao quickly said, "He Yuzhu, Jie Cheng, let's go and take a look at the other houses. This house is decorated really well."

However, Liu Guangqi stopped the three people and said, "You don't have to leave. I also want you to give me some advice. I really don't know what to do." After saying that, he sat down on the stool with a depressed look on his face.

It was Xu Damao who spoke directly, "No, I'm talking to you, men. The men in our city are all capable men. Tell us what's wrong and we'll give you some advice. If we can't do it, don't we still have Xiaopeng? If nothing works, go find Brother Qi. We'll find a solution eventually."
