Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

The little girl was also angry. I gave you the token, and you even let my mommy know about it. I almost got scolded. I will ignore you for three days, no, one day.

Zhong Jiali didn't care at all. He followed behind and pinched the little girl with his hand every two steps.

The child's anger came and went quickly, and by the time they entered the restaurant, the two were already playing together again.

Lou Xiao'e, who was walking in front, no longer liked Zhong Jiali as much as before. He thought, "This is the big bad wolf who wants to eat our Little Red Riding Hood."

Although the mother-in-law liked her son-in-law more and more the more she looked at him, they were both too young. At this moment, Zhong Jiali looked as if he had dyed his hair yellow, and he looked so hideous.

The food at Zhongshan’s house is pretty good.

I just said that Lou Xiaoe never cooks, but Zhongshan’s family is not much better, they almost always eat in restaurants or buy food.

It's not just their two families, it's the same with He Yuzhu's family as well. Since He Yuzhu went to the restaurant, he has been busier than before when he was at the steel mill.

There is even less time to go home and cook. Qin Jingru can cook, but when the restaurant was busy in the past few years, they didn't dare to hire more waiters. Qin Jingru went to help after get off work every day. So even though there are more waiters now, she still goes to the restaurant to eat every day, but she eats employee meals.

But the staff meals she ate were prepared by He Yuzhu, and sometimes they were better than those served to guests.

Zhong Shan didn't say anything about this. He Yuzhu has been like this for years.

In his words, a cook does not steal crops or collect food. He always brings meals and ingredients home from the steel mill. He has been doing this for many years, and now that he is old, it is impossible to change even if he is asked to do so.

Even if Qin Jingru didn't come to the restaurant to eat, He Yuzhu would bring it back. It would be better to eat something hot in the restaurant since she is not a stranger anyway.

Not to mention how good their relationship is, even when the store first opened, Qin Jingru helped a lot, and He Yuzhu was the pillar of the restaurant and deserved to be pampered.

There is also a backyard. Zhong Dahai and his wife are busy with work and don’t have much time to cook. Usually they either buy food from a restaurant or eat at their eldest sister’s house.

So in their yard, when it is time for dinner, there is the least smoke, and half of the families don’t even cook.

Lou Xiao'e picked up the dish made by Zhong Shan. It's true, she always ate restaurant food, which was delicious, but suddenly eating a home-cooked meal had a different taste.

"This craftsmanship is pretty good. Did you make this, Zhongshan?"

The reason why Lou Xiao'e asked Zhong Shan was because she and Song Lili went to the school together to pick up the child, and she knew that Song Lili had no time to cook.

Sure enough, Zhong Shan nodded.

"I don't often show off my cooking skills. If you eat it today, you'll be lucky enough to get it."

Apart from anything else, Zhong Shan cooks occasionally, so the ingredients are naturally good.

Besides, his home cooking skills are really good.

After the family finished their meal, the two children did their homework while Zhong Shan and Lou Xiao'e talked about the clothing store and Pengcheng.

Of course, it was just casual chatting. Zhong Shan had originally been thinking about whether or not to open another clothing store, but later on thought better of it.

Right now the clothes from the Julu Garment Factory in Pengcheng are in short supply.

Li Huaide has expanded the production line.

Not only is there a shortage of supply in the mainland, but the Lou family is also involved.

Some cheap, low-cost OEM clothes were sold to some civilian areas in Hong Kong Island, and the profits were even much higher than those from the Lou family’s other businesses. It could be said to be huge profits.

This business was proposed by Zhong Shan. He originally wanted to do it himself, but it turned out that he didn't have such long hands and there was no other way to do it in Hong Kong Island. He had to rely entirely on the Lou family, so he might as well hand it over to them.

Moreover, it is also a problem to ship these OEM clothes to Hong Kong Island, as they are definitely not so formal.

The situation has been quite complicated in recent years, and Zhong Shan was afraid that he could not control it, so he decided not to participate.

Everyone can make money, and there is no end to making money anyway. Moreover, Zhong Shan has already made a profit when these clothes leave the factory, so he is not afraid of selling a lot. The more the Lou family sells, the more money Zhong Shan will make.

Now Li Huaide is in charge of the business there, and Zhong Shan is free again.

Once he has some free time, the dream in Zhongshan's heart resurfaces.

With some free time, Zhongshan started walking around the streets to see if there were any good houses.

I also asked people around to help find out, but some people only know about selling their houses within a small circle.

If Zhongshan were to walk the streets alone for a year, he might not be able to come across one.

The first thing Zhongshan inquired about was not the courtyard house, but the building.

Hou Saner heard that the Haidian Overseas Chinese Apartment was for sale, and Zhong Shan immediately became interested when he heard about it.

He had heard of the Overseas Chinese Apartments more than once, but he had never had the chance to buy one before. As the name suggests, the Overseas Chinese Apartments were sold to overseas Chinese to earn foreign exchange, and he heard that the facilities inside were very advanced.

It didn't matter anyway, so he asked Hou Saner to contact the seller. After the two parties reached an agreement, Zhong Shan rode his motorcycle to the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

When Zhong Shan arrived at the Overseas Chinese Apartment, he fell in love with this place before he even went downstairs. There were green areas everywhere, and the green area reached more than 60%.

It feels like a house built in a garden.

After going upstairs, I found that the house I wanted to buy was on the third floor. After entering the house, I saw all the home appliances and furniture, including a large color TV, a refrigerator, and a washing machine.

The living environment is much better than that in Zhongshan.

It looks like the owner has lived here before, but there aren't many signs of habitation; it's clear that he only stayed here occasionally.

Once you purchase and receive it, you can move in right away.

This is a four-bedroom house of more than 160 square meters.

You know, there is no such thing as common area now. This is the actual area.

16 square meters is equivalent to about 200 square meters in later generations.

The overall feeling of the house is not much different from that of later generations.

The more I look at Zhongshan, the more I like it. Although I live very comfortably in the courtyard house and my neighbors are all nice now, it is still nice to live here occasionally.

The homeowner is an overseas Chinese named Xu. He has recently encountered some problems in his overseas business and is currently disposing of some of his properties in China to recover funds.

In fact, Zhongshan was not his ideal buyer. At the beginning, the owner wanted foreign currency or foreign exchange, but no one asked.

Occasionally, there were a few people who asked, but when they heard that it was in foreign currency, they stopped asking any more questions. There was really no other way, and they were in a hurry to use the money, so they relaxed the conditions and said RMB would also be accepted.

Just two days after the news spread, Zhong Shan came to see the house.

Although I would lose a lot of money and have to exchange foreign currency, and it would be troublesome, there is nothing I can do. I am anxious.

This is just a coincidence, otherwise, the Overseas Chinese Apartment would really be a popular property.

At that time, most people did not like the courtyard houses. Not only was the environment bad, but there were also many trivial matters.
