Siheyuan: Why are you all here to see me?

The big brother in the backyard, Li Jun, said, "Little Four, you were too impulsive just now. You have offended the first uncle and Jia Zhang. The first uncle and Jia Zhang are not easy to get along with."

Li Gang "Brother, they insulted our father, I have to teach them a lesson, and besides, our family has no elders to support us, this can be considered as a way to establish authority, so that they will not think that our family is easy to bully in the future. There is no simple person in this courtyard,"

The eldest brother also understood Xiao Si's thoughts. He only hated himself for being disabled and for making Xiao Si worry about the family.

Big Brother: "Okay, just keep it in mind. By the way, did you really give the four wild boars to the steel mill?"

Li Gang: "I have handed it over to Director Li from your logistics department. Go get the money and the three-turn one-ring ticket tomorrow. Once you get the ticket, we will clean up the house. Once the house is cleaned up, we will find a matchmaker to arrange a blind date for you."

Big brother's face turned red again. Why does he always blush?

Yi Zhonghai returned home, his face blue with anger, and said to the aunt, "This little fourth child of the Li family really doesn't take me seriously."

Auntie: "You can't blame Xiao Si. Jia Zhang is too rude. She just curses people. Sigh," Auntie wanted to say something else, but she held back.

The next day, Li Gang went to Li Huaide to get the money for yesterday's meat. There were 1120 kilograms of meat, and 896 cents per kilogram, which was 900 yuan in total. Li Huaide gave him yuan directly, and a three-turn and one-ring ticket. Li Huaide said, "Li Si, I have learned about your situation. You are not old enough to take over yet. If you need any help, just ask. After all, you are also a child of our steel mill."

Li Gang: Li Huaide is indeed a man who can land safely. He spoke so frankly after just a few meetings. Of course, Li Gang will not be polite. Humans are social animals, so interpersonal relationships are inevitable. It is not advisable to be independent.

Li Gang "Director Li, I really have something I want to ask you about,"

Li Huaide also sat up straight and said seriously, "You say"

Li Gang "We all live in the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. My family has three rooms, which should be enough for us, but my eldest brother is going to have a blind date soon and will have children in the future, so I want to leave the other two rooms for the children. I saw a vacant lot outside our backyard, which is already deserted, so I want to ask if that vacant lot belongs to our steel mill. I want to buy it and build a small courtyard for myself."

When Li Huaide heard this, he said, "You are thinking long-term. Your eldest brother doesn't have a wife yet? You should think of a place to live first. OK, I understand what you mean. You have your eyes on that piece of land. No matter if it belongs to the steel mill or not, rest assured that I will help you with this. However, any prey you catch in the future must be given to the steel mill first. You are not allowed to sell it to other factories. How about that?"

When Li Gang heard this, he thought, isn't this easy? It doesn't matter who you buy it for, so he agreed to Li Huaide's request.

Li Huaide called to ask, "That piece of land does belong to the steel mill. It was originally a small garden with a well and a rockery. It's not small, about four or five acres. I can grant it to you. It's calculated based on four acres. You have to pay 320 yuan. But if you want to build a house, you have to go to the street to apply. I can give you a certificate. I believe you should be able to get it done with the street."

Li Gang "Thank you so much, Director Li. I will go to the mountains to find a wild boar for you in the next few days. You can handle it yourself."

Li Huaide: This kid is smart.

An hour later, Li Gang took the land certificate issued by Li Huaide and went to the street office. The street office has much more power than the neighborhood committee.

He found Director Xing from the Street Office and explained his purpose. Director Xing looked at Li Gang and said, "I know you. You are a celebrity in Luoguxiang. You brought such a big wild boar. Your neighborhood committee also reported your contribution to me. You did a great job, but the meat is a little less."

Li Gang: I came to talk to you about building a house, why do you always mention wild boars to me?

After chatting for nearly 20 minutes, Director Xing still didn't mention the house. Li Gang got anxious and said, "Director, look at what I just told you about building a house."

Director Xing: How can this boy be so ignorant? I have been talking about pork for almost half an hour, why don’t you understand?

Director Xing said, "There is no need to rush for houses. Look, our street is in charge of eight neighborhood committees. There are five-guarantee households, families of martyrs, and staff..."

Li Gang also understood completely. If he didn't give something today, this land would not belong to him. Isn't it just pork?

Li Gang: "Are two 200-jin wild boars enough?"

Director Xing laughed and said, "Enough, enough, enough. We have made a deal. I will ask someone to handle the formalities for you right away. By the way, do you have anyone to build a house? We have a house repair team in our street. They can also build houses. It's a family-inherited skill."

Li Gang "That's great. This saves me a lot of trouble. Thank you Director Xing. I will add a goat for you."

"Hahaha, haha." Director Xing asked someone to come and handle the formalities for Li Gang. He also had to pay 240 yuan. Li Huaide had given him 900 yuan, and now he only had 340 yuan left. He also called Master Huang from the repair team. Master Huang had to see the site before he could make a sketch. Li Gang said goodbye to Director Xing. He took Master Huang back to the courtyard. There was a small archway next to the back room, nailed shut with wooden boards. Master Huang used tools to pry the wooden boards open, and the two entered the small garden. Li Huaide said that the small garden was too small. It should be at least five or six acres. There was no need to go any further. Master Huang had a rough idea in his mind. Now he had to see what Li Gang wanted.

Li Gang "A main room with a toilet, a shower, a study, two bedrooms, a fireplace, four side rooms, a shared toilet, a shower, and a small kitchen in each of the four side rooms. There should also be running water. There should be walls all around, with a side door that can accommodate a carriage. There should also be a small vegetable patch and flower bed in the yard. It doesn't have to be too big, just enough for four or five people. It's just for the convenience of picking vegetables. Later on, we'll open a few vegetable patches in extra places. Take a look and see if there are still a few acres of open space left."

Master Huang calculated and said, "There is probably about four acres of vacant land left."

Li Gang had an idea in mind, "Okay, let me know how much it is."

Mr. Huang: "Boss, are you doing the labor and materials contract or just the labor contract?"

Li Gang: "I don't have that much energy, so I'll just take care of the construction and materials. The materials must be the best, and it would be best if it could be as solid as the Forbidden City."

Master Huang opened his eyes wide and said, "Boss, we do have the skills, and they are not worse than the older generation. The materials are collected from the palace, which is a bit difficult and time-consuming."

Li Gang: "Oh? You can really build it for me according to the solidity of the palace."

Master Huang: "Many of the materials there are no longer available, but I can still find some, such as rosewood, large blue bricks, etc. Normally, it will take you about a month to build your house. If you use those materials, it will take at least three months."

Li Gang listened for three months, and he could also "say the amount of money,"

Mr. Huang: "With the best materials, you need to give me at least two thousand. The main materials are golden nanmu or Hainan Huanghuali, and large blue bricks. The main reason is that this wall uses a lot of bricks. If you use ordinary red bricks, you need to repair it every five or six years. Your wall is still long, so I'll go and get some wall bricks from the first few years. So the money is a little more."

Li Gang knew about those city wall bricks because a certain intellectual said that all the city walls of Beijing were demolished. If he had the bricks to build a wall for his own home, he would be excited.

Li Gang: "Okay, I only have 340 here, you take it first and I'll give you 1000 tomorrow, and the rest will be paid after we finish the work, okay?"

Master Huang: "The boss is very generous, so we will not hesitate to use the best ingredients. You can rest assured that we will use the best ingredients. Another thing is that lunch is usually provided by the boss."

Li Gang: "There is no one to cook in my family. How about this? Look at how many people there are. I will give each person an extra 30 cents a day. What do you think?"

Master Huang agreed. Li Gang said, "Master Huang, we have finished discussing this. You can come to my house and have a look. My house needs to be renovated. It also needs a toilet, a shower room and running water."

Master Huang came to the west wing again and took a look. "It will take about half a month to finish the work. You can pay me 140 yuan, and I will do all the work and materials, and I will fix the toilet for you."

Li Gang: "Okay, we can start work the day after tomorrow, and we will move to the ear room tomorrow."

After sending Mr. Huang away, the house deal has been settled. The only thing left is the sister-in-law. I don't know how old Yu Li is now. I'll go and ask around in a few days.

This open space does not require you to go through No. 95 Courtyard. Once the small arch is opened, it is the backyard. Once the small arch is closed, it is an independent courtyard within a courtyard. It is very beautiful.

When the workers got off work in the evening, Yan Fugui had been waiting at the door for a long time. Usually, he would go fishing in the afternoon when he had no classes, or he would just wait at the door and have some fun. Li Gang found Yan Fugui and told him about the vacant lot in the backyard and the house cleaning. He wanted to hold a meeting for the whole courtyard. Li Gang said that it would cause inconvenience to the neighbors during this period. Li Gang gave each household two kilograms of wild boar meat to express his apology. When Yan Fugui heard this, he immediately agreed.

After dinner, the whole courtyard meeting was held again. Li Gang told the whole story. Everyone exclaimed that the Li family was too rich. The land was not small. How much money would it cost? Li Gang would not sue them. He only said that cleaning up the west wing brought inconvenience. Two pounds of meat per family. Most people expressed their understanding. Only Jia Zhang wanted to ask for more benefits. Li Gang said, "It's just two pounds. If you think it's too little, he can go in and out through the small archway. Each household will get two pounds of meat. When everyone heard this, they thought it was impossible. You, Jia Zhang, cannot represent everyone. In the end, Jia Zhang had to accept it. "Yi Zhonghai could not stop it. The street and the steel mill had already approved the procedures. If he, Yi Zhonghai, tried to stop it, he would really not be able to see his position clearly. Besides, most of the neighbors in the courtyard had agreed. Li Gang also took out two pounds of pork. If you, Yi Zhonghai, dare to object, it means you don't want everyone to eat meat. This will affect Yi Zhonghai's prestige. Yi Zhonghai would never do such a stupid thing.
