Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Zhong Shan returned to the subdistrict office before getting off work in the afternoon. Director Sun knew that Zhong Shan and Director Li had gone out, but he did not ask.

Zhongshan read for a while and then went off work. He had almost finished reading the book. Although he knew the results but not the reasons, he did not want to be a doctor. It was enough for him to practice the "Hua Tuo Five Animal Exercises".

After returning to his residence, Zhongshan took out the Five Animal Play from the space, took a look at it, and did it again. It was not that difficult. After doing it a few times and getting a little familiar with it, he smiled and did it again. Not to mention doing it again, Zhongshan didn't even finish the first move of Tiger Play before he felt exhausted and fell to the ground.

After a while, Zhong Shan recovered and thought he had practiced incorrectly, but after feeling it carefully, he found that except for a little hunger in his stomach, his body felt much more relaxed.

Is this... effective? It's just that my body can only do so much?

Zhong Shan took some food from the space and drank some water from the space. After his body recovered, he started practicing. Through hard work, he was able to practice the tiger play completely, but he was not yet proficient.

So Zhongshan temporarily gave up the latter and concentrated on practicing tiger plays first.

After entering the space and harvesting another wave of food in the evening, Zhong Shan lay down and fell asleep. He slept particularly soundly tonight.

After waking up early, Zhongshan practiced the tiger play again and went to work with a comic book.

When he got to the office, he would go to the security guard, Uncle Qin, to smoke a cigarette. When the two were bragging, a young man walked in. He looked a little eccentric, with a young face, but he looked OK. Although he was not as good as Zhongshan, he was still of standard appearance. He was riding a bicycle, and it seemed that his family was well-off.

The young man arrived at the door, got out of the car, and saw Uncle Qin chatting with Zhong Shan. He stepped forward and said, "Uncle, please tell me how to get to the Safety Production Office. I'm here to report."

After Uncle Qin pointed out the way, the young man and Zhong Shan smiled and nodded, then went in.

Zhong Shan saw that this person came in after arranging the department. No need to ask, the family went to find someone. After chatting with Uncle Qin for a while, seeing Section Chief Sun coming, he took Section Chief Sun's bag like a lackey and went into the office.

The three people in the office, each with a cup of hot water and a book, were studying comfortably. In the afternoon, after talking to Director Sun, I left early and returned to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. The renovation was completed. After the master cleaned up the house inside and outside, Zhongshan paid the balance. There was no high technology at the moment, so we could move in after a day.

Then, Master, I have another job, see if you can do it. After that, open all the windows of the house, and you can come back to live tomorrow night. It is not a good idea to live in the warehouse all the time, and it will be time to sell the winter cabbage soon, so we have to make room.

Walking to Heizhima Hutong with the master, Zhongshan opened the gate of the courtyard. Although there was nothing inside, it was like a home when it was locked!

After entering the courtyard, he said to the master, "Master, this is it. Don't worry about the houses behind. Build a wall at the location of the main hall in the first courtyard to separate the front yard and leave a door.

The east wing and the back house have collapsed, and the things have been cleared out, so they can be left empty. The house only has three rooms in the west wing, so I can just decorate it according to my house.

However, the water pipes may need to be brought in from outside, and the ground in the yard needs to be simply paved, and the materials used can be taken from the yard behind.

Then dig a small cellar on the north side of the house. It doesn’t have to be too big, just enough to store some vegetables. What do you think?”

The master looked at the yard. Indeed, the work was similar to the one he had done on Zhongshan's other house, except that there was an extra wall and a cellar. However, a lot of materials could be saved. So he said to Zhongshan:

"Leader Zhong, the area of ​​the house is about the same, with an extra wall and ground, but a lot of materials have been saved. How about this? The weather is cold and there won't be much work. Add 20 yuan for the cellar. For 200 yuan, I will bring people here tomorrow and it will be finished before the weather gets cold."

After hearing this, Zhong Shan didn't waste any words. He took out 220 yuan and gave it to him directly: "Master, I'll give it all to you this time. You are also affiliated with the street office, so we are not outsiders."

The master took the money and said, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Zhong. Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task. Just leave it to me and watch it happen."

Zhongshan walked out of the yard and looked back at the dilapidated yard. He really wanted to repair it. He had no shortage of money, but he didn't dare to do it. Otherwise, as soon as he finished repairing it, a group of people would be eyeing it. If you don't agree, you will be the target of attack. He was so weak that he couldn't bear it.

Zhong Shan came to Li Mingliang's house. The quilt and mattress were ready. Zhong Shan hid them with a rope and placed them aside.

Li Mingliang reported to the steel rolling mill today and was assigned to Section 3 of the Purchasing Department, responsible for unplanned materials. It is worth noting that his leader is Hu Chengyu.

As expected, it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court. After graduation, he was directly assigned as a section chief. Although he is still at the level of a clerk, one foot has already stepped into the leadership.

After returning to his residence, Zhong Shan packed up and put all his things into the space, leaving only a torn quilt and mattress.

After practicing tiger exercises for a while, Zhongshan lay down.

The next day, Sunday, Zhongshan was closed. Now there is one day off a week, three days off for the Spring Festival, two days for National Day, and one day each for New Year's Day and May Day.

Zhongshan went out and found a cart and two laborers and took them to the warehouse.

Zhongshan put the furniture, new bedding, radio and other things he had bought into the warehouse in advance, and also took out 20 kilograms of flour, 20 kilograms of rice, and 20 kilograms of corn flour.

It took several trips with the cart to finish the work. After paying the cartmen and the laborers their wages, Zhongshan began to clean up the house.

Put the kang mat and kang quilt on the kang. The master and his team have already tested and burned them. Put the kang table in the middle of the kang, and put the quilt on one side of the table.

An octagonal table and four chairs were placed in the middle of the room, a bunk bed was placed in the north bedroom that separated the two rooms, and two bookshelves were placed against the back wall on the south side, with a desk and chair in front of the bookshelves.

The stove was not cleaned up much, mainly because Zhongshan forgot to buy new pots and bowls, and there was still a cabinet missing. Zhongshan completely ignored the entire kitchen utensils.

Looks like I have to go there again. Zhongshan has been eating out every day recently and has no concept of a kitchen at all.

Zhongshan went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a series of new kitchen utensils such as bowls, chopsticks, basins, plates, iron pots, steamers, spatulas, etc. He also went to the trust store to buy a cabinet, and after it was delivered to his home, he finally felt at home.

Since Zhongshan lived in the front yard, only the third uncle's family could see him moving things back and forth. The third uncle went fishing early in the morning. The third aunt saw him moving the furniture and wanted to help with the cleanup, but she was unable to do so.
