Siheyuan: Separate from the beginning and live with my sister

I have just bought a new house, so I’m going to take advantage of the few days left before the New Year to decorate it.

On the way back, He Lin went to the home of Master Jin, who was doing the renovation, and brought Old Jin back to the courtyard.

Master Jin looked at Yu Li's house in the backyard. Yes, it was the house that used to belong to Aunt Fat.

Originally, he had not planned to take the job before the New Year, but he knew that He Lin was a big customer, and he would be a bastard if he didn't make money.

"Brother He, what are you going to do this time?"

"This is my sister's godsister's house. Paint the whole interior and replace the doors and windows. Make sure it's sturdier."

Master Jin was a little confused and thought, your sister's godsister, isn't that your godsister or sisters?

"And we don't want the furniture inside anymore. You can deal with it as you see fit. Do you have wood for sale? I need enough wood to make a whole set of furniture."

Master Jin had seen He Lin's carpentry skills, which were better than those of professional carpenters, and knew that he wanted to make furniture by himself.

"Yes, I will ask them to send some good quality wood when I get back. If we start working tomorrow, I think we can finish all the work before the New Year. What do you think, Brother He?"

"No problem, Master Jin. We are old friends. Besides, I have a job that I want to discuss with you."

"Another job? Just tell me, Brother He. I can do anything related to decoration."

"Hey, isn't it cold? I designed a heating device and plan to install it in my room. I'll have to trouble you when the time comes."

"Installation is no problem, except for the heating furnace and pipes, which I don't have yet."

"Don't worry, Lao Jin, you will be responsible for the installation, and I will take care of the rest."

He Lin had already planned to install heating, and it was just right to do the renovation for Yu Li at the same time, so he just asked Master Jin to install it together.

Just modify the coal stove in the kitchen, add a hot water tank on it, and then use heating pipes to connect it to your room and the rainwater room.

As for the hot water tank and heating pipe, can it be difficult for the technical section chief of the steel rolling mill? He just needs to pay for the materials and find someone in the factory workshop to process them.

He Lin only planned to install heating in his own house and not in Yu Li's room.

Because the He family's house is relatively large, there is a separate ear room used as a kitchen, which can accommodate a coal stove and a hot water tank.

Yu Li's house in the backyard is just one room without a separate kitchen. If the coal stove is placed in the main room, it would be too dangerous when sleeping. It would be troublesome if gas poisoning occurred.

In the past, Aunt Pang cooked in the main room, which was filled with a lot of smoke. This was also the reason why He Lin had to redecorate the house before Yu Li moved in.

This time there was only one house, and Master Jin quoted a total of 140 yuan for decoration and wood.

Nowadays, when you hire someone to do a job, they usually have to be responsible for lunch.

He Lin still had 10 yuan extra for food during this period. He seldom went back to the courtyard at noon and had no way to be responsible for the workers' lunch.

He Lin handed 150 yuan to Master Jin. They were old friends, so He Lin trusted Master Jin and was not afraid that he would cheat and sell inferior products as good ones.

Lao Jin knew that He Lin was a straightforward customer and quoted the actual price. After receiving He Lin's money, he hurried back to contact the workers.

In the evening, the leadership of the steel rolling mill held a New Year's Eve dinner in the cafeteria. Those who attended naturally included Director Yang, Li Huaide and other deputy directors, as well as some section chiefs and workshop directors with good performance. There were two tables of people in total.

He Lin didn't expect to see Lou Xiao'e here. The person next to her should be Lou Bancheng. As a director of the steel rolling mill, he is naturally qualified to participate in today's event.

As a rising star in pipe technology at the steel rolling mill, He Lin was fortunate enough to be arranged to sit at the table with the factory leaders. This made He Lin very uncomfortable, and he thought to himself that he wanted to sit at the "children's table" at the back when he was having dinner.

When Lou Xiao'e saw He Lin also sitting at the table, she immediately suggested that since she was young, she should sit outside, and took the initiative to sit next to He Lin.

"Hello, Comrade He Lin. It's been a while since we last met. Did you forget that someone wanted to treat me to some of his cooking skills?"

Seeing that Comrade Da'e was the first to take action, He Lin did not tolerate her.

"I never said that. Go find whoever said that."

"Well, look at your stingy look. You didn't say it, but Sister Yu Li has agreed. I'll go find her tomorrow and see what you will do."

Ignoring Lou Xiaoe's whisper, He Lin focused his attention on the dining table.

Director Yang sat in the middle, with Deputy Director Li on his left and Lou Bancheng on his right.

It seems that the Lou family is doing well now, at least they can still get by in terms of appearance.

The second canteen was responsible for preparing the dishes, and the head chef was naturally Sha Zhu.

Ever since Sha Zhu came back from the workshop, he has become much more honest and worked more actively.

Those who came to eat today were all senior leaders of the factory, so he naturally did not dare to neglect them and started preparing various ingredients at noon.

After working hard for an entire afternoon, I'm just waiting for the final breath. If the factory director gets too drunk, I'll definitely promote him to the position of deputy director.

All I can say is that Sha Zhu is out to get what he wants. If this was possible in the past, now we have He Lin’s cooking skills for comparison.

In the factory director's eyes, Sha Zhu's ability is only second-rate. If something big really happens, he will naturally ask He Lin to take action.

Besides, if one can become a leader just by working, then there would be people working everywhere on the street, so how could he get his turn?

The section chief and workshop director sitting at another table were extremely envious of He Lin. Look at how successful he was. He was only in his early 20s, but he had already become a section chief and was on good terms with the factory leaders.

It is true that if you compare yourself to others, you will die, and if you compare goods, you will throw them away. I have wasted most of my life.

Deputy Director Li spoke first, summarizing the production situation of the steel rolling mill from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and then invited Director Yang to speak.

Director Yang sat in the middle and raised his position even higher than Li Huaide did. He thanked the workers for their hard work, the middle-level cadres for their support, and Director Lou for his cooperation.

After the polite words were spoken, Director Yang took the lead in clinking glasses, and then everyone started to eat.

Then everyone present started eating and drinking, and took turns to clink glasses with the leaders.

The Chinese nation's drinking culture has a long history, and He Lin, who has lived a new life, is very familiar with this kind of scene.

Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. Among the leaders sitting at this table, he was the lowest-ranking and youngest, so the task of livening up the place and boosting the atmosphere naturally fell on him.

The various toasts were also exaggerated, making the leaders smile.

When drinking with a good friend, a thousand cups are not enough, so drink as much as you can!

Wine is the spirit of food, the more you drink, the younger you become!
