Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

Li Qingshan entered the yard and met the residents there. He smiled, nodded and greeted them.

When he arrived at the east courtyard, he saw that the gate was still locked, so Li Qingshan found a place, lit a cigarette, squatted down and leaned against the wall to bask in the sun, waiting for Master Lei and others to arrive.

Before he finished smoking a cigarette, Li Qingshan heard footsteps coming towards him.

Li Qingshan turned his head and saw that it was Master Lei and his son. He quickly stood up and said, "Master Lei, you are here!"

After saying that, he took out a cigarette and handed one to each of them.

Master Lei took the cigarette and said to Li Qingshan embarrassedly, "Boss, I'm sorry! I kept you waiting for a long time."

He turned around and said to his eldest son, "Big Boss, open the door quickly."

"Got it, Dad."

Master Lei's eldest son responded, took out the key and quickly opened the door.

Li Qingshan followed Master Lei and the other two into the East Cross Courtyard and said with a smile, "Master Lei, I just got here a while ago too."

Master Lei smiled silently, lit a cigarette, and began to introduce the newly built East Cross Courtyard to Li Qingshan, saying, "Boss, take a look, this courtyard was built according to your instructions."

"I also dug a cellar in the yard, and the first floor of the main house is paved with gold bricks."

Master Lei saw that Li Qingshan didn't understand what gold bricks were, so he explained, "Boss, gold bricks are not gold, but the kind of bricks used in the palace before."

Hearing this, Li Qingshan nodded suddenly, responded casually, and winked at Master Lei, indicating that he should continue to introduce the house.

Master Lei nodded and continued, "The second floor is paved with wooden floors and has a skylight."

"The furniture, lights, and water pipes on the first floor are all ready. Please check upstairs and downstairs."

"Ah."

Li Qingshan nodded, looked at every room on the first floor, then went up to the second floor, looked in every room, and opened the skylight to look outside.

Li Qingshan nodded and said, not bad.

After going downstairs, Li Qingshan gave Master Lei a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Master Lei, your craftsmanship is really good."

Master Lei took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Boss, you're joking. This is how I make a living."

"hehe!"

Li Qingshan followed Master Lei and went to the houses on both sides of the main house to take a look. They were all very good.

I went into the kitchen and the bathroom and turned on the water pipes, and the water flow was fine.

Li Qingshan looked at the whole yard, lit a cigarette, and said to Master Lei: "Master Lei, the money I gave you is not enough to repair this yard!"

Master Lei nodded. He had no shame about the money. He should get the corresponding money for the corresponding work.

So he said to Li Qingshan: "Boss, it is enough for me to give you 1.5 million. I didn't ask you for more."

Li Qingshan didn't waste any words. He took out the money and counted out 1.5 million yuan. He handed it to Master Lei and said, "Master Lei, count it."

Master Lei took the money and put it directly into his trouser pocket, then said with a smile: "Boss, no need to count. I believe you won't miss my money."

Li Qingshan said jokingly: "Master Lei, that's hard to say. I won't recognize you once you leave this door."

Master Lei waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I accept it even if it's less."

He didn't count the money because he was watching carefully when Li Qingshan was counting the money just now! One million and a half thousand was not a small amount.

Then Master Lei lit a cigarette and said to Li Qingshan, "Boss, buy yourself a new lock for the front door, so you can rest assured."

Li Qingshan nodded and replied, "I understand, Master Lei, I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lock later."

The money for repairing the house had been collected, and Master Lei didn't plan to stay any longer, so he said, "Boss, we'll leave first."

"Okay, Master Lei, take care."

Li Qingshan sent Master Lei and his two sons to the gate. He watched them walk away before turning back.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, Li Qingshan almost bumped into He Yuzhu. He steadied himself and said to He Yuzhu unhappily, "I say, Zhuzi, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"Let's not talk about it for now, Qingshan, I'm going to the toilet."

After saying that, He Yuzhu hurriedly ran towards the public toilet in the alley.

Li Qingshan shook his head helplessly, lit a cigarette, and walked directly towards the east wing without waiting for He Yuzhu to come back.

He took another look inside and outside the houses in the east courtyard.

When He Yuzhu came back from the toilet, he didn't see Li Qingshan at the door. He knew he was in the East Courtyard.

Arriving at the East Cross Courtyard, He Yuzhu shouted loudly: "Qingshan, Qingshan."

Li Qingshan was on the second floor. Hearing the noise, he opened the skylight and looked into the yard. He shouted to He Yuzhu, "Zhu, I'm upstairs, come in!"

After hearing this, He Yuzhu quickly looked up and found that Li Qingshan had only his head sticking out of the roof. He quickly walked into the house, going upstairs while looking around the environment inside.

He Yuzhu walked up to Li Qingshan and said with a smile: "Qingshan, the house is really well built."

After saying that, he walked to the skylight, stuck his head out and looked out. Seeing the third uncle Yan Bugui in the courtyard, He Yuzhu shouted in a funny way: "Ah!"

Then he retracted his head.

Yan Bugui in the front yard was startled by the shout. He turned around but didn't see anyone, so he hurried back to the house to comfort himself.

He Yuzhu saw this and burst into laughter: "Haha!"

Li Qingshan laughed for a while and said, "Zhu Zi, your shout really scared Yan Bugui."

He Yuzhu lit a cigarette, waved his hand and replied: "It's okay, this old guy is not easy to scare."

"hehe!"

Li Qingshan also lit a cigarette and asked, "Zhu Zi, you didn't go to work today?"

"Oh no! It's bad. I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go to work."

After saying that, He Yuzhu hurried downstairs, ran back to his room, then ran out of the yard with his lunch box.

He Yuzhu didn't even have time to respond to his wife Wu Fang's calls from behind him.

Li Qingshan looked clearly in the room with skylight.

After finishing a cigarette, Li Qingshan threw the cigarette butt into the yard through the skylight and then went downstairs.

Li Qingshan closed the door, walked out of Yard 95, and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lock.

When he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Qingshan spent 15,000 yuan to buy a big lock, and then went to the blacksmith shop to buy an iron chain.

Then he slowly walked back to the east courtyard, locked the gate with the newly bought lock and chain, and then went home.

After returning home, Li Qingshan played with Wei Guo and others for a while, then returned to his room.

As soon as he entered the house, Li Qingshan saw his sister-in-law and Qin Huairu sitting on the kang sewing clothes. He smiled and greeted them, "Sister-in-law."

Wu Lirong asked with a smile: "Qingshan, how is the construction of your east wing going?"

Seeing that Sister Lirong asked first, Qin Huairu looked at Li Qingshan curiously.

Li Qingshan smiled and replied: "Sister-in-law, bad guy, the whole yard has been repaired, it was all repaired according to what I said."

Qin Huairu asked again: "Qingshan, is the money gone?"
