Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

Qin Huairu was very interested in the courtyard assigned by Li Qingshan. After all, she had been living in Brother Qingfeng's house with Weidong, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Although Brother Qingfeng and Sister Lirong were very kind to her and Weidong, she still wanted to have her own family.

Although there is a courtyard on Zhengyang Street, it is too far from here.

I wanted to wait until Qingshan had found a job before making any decision, but I didn't expect the factory to allocate a house to Qingshan, and it had a yard at that. It was really a pleasant surprise.

Li Qingfeng took a puff of cigarette and said, "Qingshan, I know that East Cross Courtyard. Isn't it an abandoned yard that needs to be rebuilt?

Why don’t you want a better house?”

At this time, she was shocked by what Qingfeng said. The abandoned yard had to be rebuilt. How much money would it cost to rebuild it?

Li Qingshan smiled and explained, "Brother, I know that's a run-down yard. I was thinking that when I have more children in the future, I'll have a place to live, right?"

"The houses are now allocated according to population. There are three of us, Huairu, Weidong, and I. How many houses can we get?"

"At best, we'd be lucky to be allocated two houses. Even if we are allocated, they are not our own houses."

"I have repaired the east wing and it will be my own. I will also have the property title."

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng nodded and said, "Okay! As long as you are willing, Qingshan, if you don't have enough money to repair the house, come to me. If you want to repair the house, just repair the yard at once. Got it?"

Li Qingshan nodded and replied with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, I won't be distant with you."

Li Qingfeng smiled silently, then went into the kitchen to cook.

Qin Huairu waited for Li Qingfeng to enter the kitchen, then hurried to Li Qingshan's side and asked in a low voice: "Qingshan, how much does it cost to repair the house?"

Li Qingshan scratched his head and replied, "I don't know either. I'll go ask after dinner. Sister Wang from the Street Office introduced me to this person. She will definitely not ask me for more money."

"All right!"

Qin Huairu didn't ask anything and just turned back to the kitchen to help.

An hour later.

Li Qingfeng stood at the kitchen door and shouted to the children playing in the yard, as well as the master and Qingshan in the main room, "Wash your hands and eat."

After hearing this, the five children immediately dropped what they were holding and rushed to wash their hands, shouting, "Finally, we're eating! We were starving to death."

"There are some delicious foods again. Eat more of mine later."

Li Qingshan accompanied Na Quanfu out of the main hall and said to Li Weihong with a smile: "If Weihong continues to eat you, you will become a little picky girl and you will not look good anymore."

Li Weihong shouted loudly: "Bad guy, Second Uncle is really bad, I am not a little fat girl! Weihong is so pretty."

"Wei Hong is pretty, so ignore your second uncle."

Na Quanfu picked up Li Weihong, who had washed her hands, and said with a smile.

Li Weihong lay in Quanfu's arms and said in a baby voice, "Well, I won't care about my second uncle anymore. Grandpa is still the best."

Seeing that everyone was seated, Li Qingfeng held up the bottle of wine and said to Quanfu and Li Qingshan, "Master, I'll drink with you."

"Qingshan, do you want to drink?"

Li Qingshan shook his head and said, "Brother, I won't drink anymore. I have to go find the repairman after dinner!"

"Okay, since you don't want to drink, I won't let you."

Li Qingfeng poured a glass of wine for Na Quanfu and himself, then invited Wu Lirong, Qin Huairu and the children to have dinner.

After more than ten minutes, the five children who finished eating first had already gone out to play.

Immediately after Wu Lirong and Qin Huairu finished their meal, they cleaned up the dishes used by themselves and the children and went to the yard to wash them.

After Li Qingshan finished his meal, he took his bowl and chopsticks to the yard, leaving only Li Qingshan and Na Quanfu still drinking wine and eating.

The two of them were eating and talking at the same time, mainly Quanfu talking about the shortcomings and advantages of the dishes, while Li Qingfeng listened attentively.

Li Qingshan stood in the yard and smoked a cigarette. He greeted Qin Huairu and Wu Lirong without disturbing the two people drinking in the house. Then he went out and went to find the house repairman according to the address written by Wang Shenghua.

Li Qingshan followed the address on the note and walked through the alleys until he arrived at a large courtyard.

The house repairman's home was in the west wing of the front yard. Li Qingshan went up and knocked on the door: "Knock! Knock! Knock!"

"Who!"

Master Lei opened the door and saw a young man who looked familiar. He couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Who are you?"

Seeing that it was Master Lei who helped his brothers repair the house, Li Qingshan smiled and said, "Master Lei, I am Li Qingshan from No. 93 Nanluoguxiang."

Hearing this, Master Lei remembered the Li Qingshan brothers and said with a smile: "It's you! I was wondering why you looked familiar! Come in first!"

Li Qingshan handed over a cigarette, waved his hand and said, “No need, Master Lei, I’m here to find you to repair the yard.”

Master Lei lit up a cigarette and asked, "Where is the yard?"

Li Qingshan replied with a smile: "Master Lei, the yard is in the east wing of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang."

"It's not far away. Wait a moment. I'll go into the house and get some tools."

Master Lei went into the house to get his tools, walked out and locked the door, then followed Li Qingshan towards the east wing.

After more than ten minutes, Li Qingshan and Master Lei arrived at the gate of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

The two men didn't run into many acquaintances, so they walked along the path in the front yard into the east wing.

Master Lei looked at the dilapidated East Courtyard of more than 150 square meters in front of him, frowned and said to Li Qingshan: "Boss, this yard needs to be demolished and rebuilt."

Li Qingshan handed over a cigarette, struck a match to light it for himself and Master Lei, then smiled and said, "Master Lei, how much does it cost to tear down the house and rebuild it?"

Hearing this, Master Lei frowned and looked around the yard again, then looked inside each house one by one, and then replied, "That depends on what kind of house you want to build."

After hearing this, Li Qingfeng thought for a moment and then said, "Master Lei, build a two-story main house. The lower floor will be used as a living room and dining room, with a small bathroom, and the upper floors will have two bedrooms and a study."

"On both sides of the main house, there are two houses, one large and one small. The large one is for living, and the small one is for the kitchen or toilet."

"We are replacing the door with a thicker one and building a shed at the entrance."

"The furniture and beds in the house, as well as the toilets, should be replaced with flush toilets, water pipes should be connected to the toilets and washrooms, and electricity should be connected to every room."

Li Qingshan took a puff of cigarette, thought for a while, and then continued, "First of all, Master Lei, you are responsible for the labor and materials, including the meal expenses. How much do you think it will cost to follow my instructions?"

Hearing this, Master Lei frowned and thought for a while. After more than ten seconds, he said, "Boss, according to what you said, I will need about 10 million yuan for the labor, materials and meals."
