Siheyuan: Why are you all here to see me?

This can't be said to be Jia Zhang's stand for Li Gang. It's just that Jia Zhang had only been in contact with people from the countryside or courtyard houses before, and had never experienced any setbacks. Now that he has gone to the food factory, he has also realized the cruelty of reality and the importance of interpersonal relationships.

In the past, she had Jia Dongxu's father, who protected her and spoiled her. Later, it was Yi Zhonghai. Now, no one protects her. Besides, the salary at the food factory is not low. 27.5 is much more than the three yuan pension Jia Dongxu gives her every month. There are also welfare benefits. The most important thing is that she can eat enough and eat meat every now and then.

This is much better than eating steamed bread and cabbage at home. Although I am just cleaning the toilet, the money and benefits are real. One month's work is equivalent to nine months' pension, and one year's work is equivalent to ten years. I can earn more pension money and still have enough to eat. Isn't that great?

If Jia Zhangshi doesn't do anything else but just the 27.5 per month, she will be very obedient. Except for the strong smell of the toilet, it is not tiring at all. The shower is free for those who clean the toilet. Now Jia Zhangshi has become a little more diligent. She has to be diligent for the 27.5.

That's why Jia Zhang tried to please Li Gang in order to earn more money for her retirement. Otherwise, how could people say that Jia Zhang was smart!

Li Gang would not understand these principles, nor would Qin Huairu.

Li Gang also didn't want to understand. Jia Zhang and Li Gang were not in the same league at all. An online article in the previous life also said that whether the courtyard was in chaos or not was up to Jia Zhang. If Jia Zhang really quieted down, that would be good too. But is it interesting to have chaos all day long?

She is a widow with a son. If she had not acted like a spoiled child and relied on Yi Zhonghai, she would have been wiped out long ago. Li Gang even suspected that Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai were having an affair. Given Yi Zhonghai's cleverness, could it be that he was just trying to take care of Jia Dongxu in his old age?

Not necessarily. No one knows whether he had the idea of ​​letting Jia Zhang have a child. Not knowing does not mean that he did not have one. Only Yi Zhonghai himself knows clearly.

We'll see later. If Jia Zhang can really change in the future, it will be good for the entire courtyard. I'm just afraid that after Jia Dongxu dies, she will return to her old ways. If Jia Zhang acts cocky at that time, Li Gang doesn't mind letting her suffer a little. Li Gang will wait and see.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to change a person's nature. Jia Zhangshi will not change. Her current situation is just her temporary excitement about the 27.5. Once she gets the compensation from Jia Dongxu, plus what she earns and what Jia Dongxu gave her before, Jia Zhangshi will be more confident. She will let Qin Huairu go to work while she enjoys herself at home. Will she continue to work?

No. Li Gang took it for granted.

Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office, Li Gang came to see Director Xing to talk about building workers' housing

Director Xing: "You are taking a big step, aren't you? I haven't heard of any factory building houses specifically for workers. Do you have too many cans and make too much money? If you think the money from cans is too much, you can give some to my street office. I don't think it's too much."

Director Xing mocked Li Gang unhappily.

Li Gang: "That's not the case. If you want canned food, I will send it to you right away. As long as you get the housing approval, I will send you 100 boxes of canned fish. How about that? Isn't that generous?"

Director Xing glared at Li Gang and said, "100 boxes, are you treating beggars like that? Do you think that when you build a house, only our street office has the final say? There are still many departments that need to be communicated with."

Li Gang: "Then how much do you want? I'll give you another fifty boxes. No matter how many boxes you have, it doesn't matter if you don't build the house. Anyway, I don't need a house."

Director Xing saw that Li was beginning to be stingy, and he also felt that 150 boxes were not a small amount.

"Okay, then you give me 150 boxes and I'll help you with the paperwork. That's a deal."

So he took out paper and pen and handed them to Li Gang.

Li Gang was confused: "What are you doing? What does this mean?"

Director Xing said, "Don't play dumb. Write a note and sign it. Don't think I don't know. You promised it verbally. But if your food factory doesn't give me canned food, I know that if there are more than 20 boxes, I won't be able to take out any boxes without your signature. Write a note and I'll have someone pick it up. You don't have to deliver it."

Li Gang finally understood that this rule was really set by Li Gang. Xu Damao and Deputy Director Tang only had the right to approve 20 boxes. If they wanted to approve more boxes, they had to sign for it themselves. Only then would the Security Department release them. He really had forgotten about it.

He took the paper and pen, wrote it down, signed it, and handed it to Director Xing.

Director Xing took a look and was very satisfied.

"What kind of house do you plan to build?"

Li Gang: "I don't plan to build bungalows, I plan to build buildings, three buildings with two bedrooms and one living room, with bathrooms and kitchens, divided into three units, three households on each floor, a total of six floors. I am building three buildings with one bedroom and one living room, also with bathrooms and kitchens, three units, four households on each floor, a total of 378 households."

Director Xing was surprised. "You are planning to give it all to the workers in your factory. Your factory's treatment is too good. The treatment of workers is higher than that of section-level cadres. Section-level cadres can only live in tube-shaped buildings at most, and they may not even have them. But you, a worker, lives better than section-level cadres."

Li Gang: "What's wrong with workers? If workers don't contribute to the country, they can't live in buildings. Director Xing, if others hear your remarks, then..."

Director Xing was shocked and almost broke out in a cold sweat. She couldn't say anything like workers couldn't live in buildings. If someone heard her and reported her, she would no longer be the director, and her husband Tian would be implicated. She quickly got up and went to the door, opened it to see if there was anyone outside, and then came in, patting her chest.

Looking at Li Gang, Li Gang said, "Don't look at me like that, I didn't hear anything."

Director Xing smiled with satisfaction. This kid was okay. He was not the kind of person who would stab someone in the back. But after what he said just now, although only Li Gang heard it, Li Gang would not speak nonsense or report it. But he had to give him some benefits anyway.

Director Xing thought for a moment and said, "I'll take care of the formalities for you. I'll let Lao Tian get the cement, bricks, glass, etc. for you. You have steel bars at your steel rolling mill, and there is a door and window factory down the street, but it's a little small. But if you have the size, they can make it in advance."

Li Gang was delighted when he heard this. This material solved most of the problems, which saved him a lot of trouble. Then he thought, oh, this is Director Xing trying to stop himself from speaking. Haha, this is a good way to stop himself from speaking. I like it.

Li Gang "Then thank you Director Xing. I won't let you work in vain. When the time comes, I will give the street a two-bedroom and one-living room apartment. I can't give more than that. Our food factory doesn't give housing to all the people. We also need to select those who are active in work, have financial difficulties, and are military and martyr families. Only those who are eligible to own one."

Director Xing didn't expect that he still had two sets. Although two sets were a little less, it was also a pleasant surprise. It was just that it was really troublesome to decide who to give these two sets to. Forget it, let's talk about it later.

The two discussed some details, and Li Gang said goodbye. Li Gang was very happy. He gained a lot and saved a lot of trouble.

Next, it’s time to find a construction team. I’m afraid the house cannot be built this year, but it’s still possible to lay the foundation first. This way, the workers will see that the foundation has been laid, and that will enhance your prestige, hehe.

In the afternoon, before Li Gang could go to see Minister Yu, Minister Yu came to the food factory to look for Li Gang.

Minister Yu was now radiant and full of energy, and he looked so proud that I was afraid that Li Gang didn't see the star on his shoulder.

Li Gang: "Oh, it's done. Congratulations, General Yu."

Minister Yu laughed and said, "What is there to congratulate? I can't compare to those generals who have fought in tough battles. I am just a logistics officer. If I can get a star, I will be very satisfied in this life."

Li Gang thought to himself: Tsk, you are so ungrateful. Li Yunlong fought in so many battles, but he was only a major general when he was awarded the rank. He fought in so many battles, but you, a logistics officer, can be a major general. Go home and be happy. Of course, Li Gang would not say this to his face.

Li Gang: "How can you say that? Who says that a general can't be in charge of logistics? What's going on? General Yu, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Minister Yu: "Okay, stop calling me General. It's ruining our relationship. Just call me Minister Yu or Old Yu!"

Li Gang: "Well, I'd better call you Minister Yu. Tell me what's going on."

Minister Yu: "First, I want to give you your uniform and rank. Second, I want to ask you for some canned fish. The troops have to march these days and always eat canned pork. I'm afraid it's not enough. Please make some more side dishes for rotation. Add some vegetables, and the soldiers will have a balanced nutrition."

Li Gang: "You really care about the soldiers. Okay, I'll give you as much as you want, but you have priority, Minister Yu. But I have a condition."

Minister Yu: "What are the conditions?"

Li Gang then told Minister Yu about his plan to build workers' housing.

When Minister Yu heard this, his reaction was similar to Director Xing's. He also felt happy for the workers who could work in the food factory.

Minister Yu: "Okay, then let the engineering company come over and help you lay the foundation first. You know their company commander, he is the one who went hunting with me this time, Captain Qi, you are also familiar with each other. It just so happens that I don't have to pay for the canned fish. Do you want to tell me all your requirements and plans, and I will find someone to design the blueprint for you."

How could Li Gang not use it? It was a good thing that was delivered to his doorstep, so why wait for it? So he told Minister Yu about his housing requirements, such as the bathroom, kitchen, road conditions in the community, greenery, and even the gate.

Minister Yu was surprised. This is more luxurious than the ordinary cadre buildings. It has greenery and toilets.

Minister Yu: "Okay, then I'll find someone to design it for you according to your requirements. It may take ten days or half a month. There will be no problem in laying the foundation before the ground freezes. By the way, let me introduce you to someone who is the director of a detention center down there. The detention center can also be called a labor camp. He used to be a soldier under my command, and later he was transferred to become the director of this detention center. You can go and find him. He has a quarry there. You can just give him some canned food."

Li Gang: Come on, the stones are free, and you can just give me some canned goods. If you give me less, you will do something. But it is fine this way, it doesn’t matter whose goods you use, and I can save money. So he readily agreed and expressed his gratitude to the minister.
