Chapter 12: Borrowing a house, what are you thinking about?

"dong dong dong"

"Who is knocking at the door at this time?"

Wang Jianfeng had been running back and forth all day and was about to take a break when there was a knock on the door.

"Jianfeng, I am your uncle"

"Uncle, what do you want to talk to me about?" Hearing Yan Bugui's voice, Wang Jianfeng opened the door helplessly and said.

"Jianfeng, have you finished decorating your house? Today your third aunt said that you moved a lot of furniture here today. Are you going to move in?"

"Can you live in so many houses by yourself?"

"Also, I think your attic looks good. How much does it cost?"

"Yes, we are moving things today and preparing to officially start firing tomorrow."

"Uncle, I'm old enough to get married now. If I have a few more children, I may not have enough to live on in the future."

"As for the attic, I don't have much money. If you want to add more, please ask Captain Lei for the details."

"Jianfeng, when are you going to treat us when you move to your new home?"

"Uncle, I have used up all my money and I still owe my classmates a lot of money. How can I have the time to treat you?"

"No, that's not right. I don't have any money. Where do you get so much money to buy furniture?"

“What I bought are second-hand goods and are not worth much money.”

"Uncle, if you don't have anything else to do, I'll take a rest first. I've been tired all day."

"Okay then, I'll go back." Seeing that there was no advantage to be gained, Yan Bugui left.

Then Wang Jianfeng took a break

What he didn't know was that his troubles were about to come. The house was being renovated before and everyone was waiting. Now that it was finished and others had moved in, the beasts were all planning what to do. Yan Bugui was just a scout.

The next day, the factory had a holiday. It was great not to have to work. Today was both the weekend and the end of the month. Normally, there would be a holiday on the weekend, but when the production task was heavy, it was not 996, but 007. Workers in this era all valued dedication.

After having a good sleep last night, Wang Jianfeng went fishing for a few fish early in the morning, and then bought two kilograms of meat, some vegetables and tofu, and a chicken. These are standard equipment for starting a fire in a new home. After all, one should have a clean life and have surplus every year.

Wang Jianfeng returned to the courtyard, and occasionally neighbors came to see his new house, and he greeted them warmly. But when the Jia Zhang family came, their eyes always made Wang Jianfeng feel strange, as if they were looking at their own house. Others also had envious eyes.

Wang Jianfeng was a little helpless in receiving wave after wave of "tourists" at home, so he simply closed the gate of the courtyard, and finally he had some peace and quiet.

"Master, we have only one house for our family of four. Banggeng is almost three years old. Huairu and I are going to have children in the future. We really can't have enough room at home. Look, Wang Jianfeng has a yard in the front yard by himself, and there are so many houses. Can you help coordinate a house for him?"

Okay, I got it. I'll go over and discuss it with him later. But Wang Jianfeng is not a good person. I'll think of a solution first. At worst, I can just give him some rent."

"Master, you also know the situation of my family. I am the only one in my family. I am still a first-level fitter. I only make 27.5 a month. It is barely enough for my family. We don't have much money."

"Dongxu, you have to work harder and try to pass the second-level fitter exam this year to give me some face. I'm a sixth-level fitter, and I've taught you everything I know, but you've taken the exam twice and failed both times. How can I put my face aside?"

"Okay, Master, I will definitely work hard."

"Also, you need to be more moderate in that matter. Look at your dark eyes and your light steps. Locksmithing is a strenuous job. If you don't control yourself like this, it will be useless even if you work hard."

"Hey, Master, I get it."

Jia Dongxu was also helpless. He was actually a little weak now. Normally, Banggeng was already two years old, and Qin Huairu should have been pregnant. However, because Jia Dongxu was a little weak, Qin Huairu had not made any movement until now. When the Jia family's living conditions improved a little, Qin Huairu became pregnant again. However, there was no way out in this era. There were no entertainment facilities. It was okay for those who were not married, but how could they be restrained after marriage? In the afternoon, Wang Jianfeng was cooking when there was a knock on the door.

"dong dong dong"

"Who is it? What's going on?"

"Jianfeng, open the door. I am your uncle. I want to discuss something with you."

"Oh, what's up, uncle?" Wang Jianfeng said as he opened the door, and then he thought that they were probably going to cause trouble again.
"Jianfeng, why don't we go in and talk?"

"Uncle, please come in."

"Jianfeng, your house is really nice. What's wrong with your door? Why is there a door in the yard?"

"It's like this, I plan to raise two chickens in the yard. I'm afraid they'll run away and affect the neighbors. The steel rolling mill has also allocated this yard to me, and I've already registered this gate with the street office."

"Uncle, is this what you came to see me about?
"It's not that. It's like this. You may not know that the Jia family in the middle courtyard has a difficult life. Since you have already moved in, you are a member of the compound. Shouldn't you help your neighbors when they are in trouble? And our compound is rated as an advanced compound every year because we are united and help each other, and our neighbors are harmonious."

"If it's really difficult, then we should help. After all, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor."

"So what exactly can I help you with?"

"The Jia family only has one house now, and there are four people in the family. The house is a little too small to accommodate them. You have so many houses, can you lend them to the Jia family?"

"Well, I've only heard of lending money or grain, but never heard of lending a house," Wang Jianfeng thought. If he lent money to the Jia family, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog, and the money would never come back.

"Then how about you rent a room? I'll let them give you two dollars a month."

"Uncle, I just renovated the house and don't want to rent it out. If they really can't fit it in, they can contact the street office. If they meet the criteria, the street office will definitely arrange it."

"If there's nothing else, I'm going to cook. I just started the stove today. Why don't you stay and have some food?"

"Forget it, I'll go home and eat." After saying that, Yi Zhonghai left angrily.

After Yi Zhonghai left, Wang Jianfeng was a little powerless to complain. They were really a bunch of legal illiterates. They wanted to grab the house as soon as he arrived. It seemed that he had to educate them about the law.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai coming back, Jia Dongxu went to Yi Zhonghai's house and asked, "How is the master?"

"It didn't work. The boy didn't agree. What should I do?"

"Don't worry, I'll go talk to Lao Liu and Lao Yan. I want to let this kid know the rules of the compound."

"Okay, you go back first."

"Dongxu, how about it? Did Wang Jianfeng agree to lend it?" As soon as Jia Dongxu returned home, Jia Zhang immediately pulled him aside and asked, and Qin Huairu also looked over.

“No, he disagrees.”

"What is this old man Yi Zhonghai doing for a living? He can't even solve such a small problem. I'm going to go find him now."

"Mom, don't worry. My master said that we will hold a meeting of the whole hospital tonight to deal with him."

“That’s pretty much it”

This is a fragrance floating in the courtyard
"Whoever eats meat doesn't even give us some. Qin Huairu, go and ask for a bowl, otherwise you won't have dinner tonight," Jia Zhang said to Qin Huairu.

"I don't even know who is eating meat. They are honoring me, an old man," said the deaf old lady in the backyard after smelling the fragrance.
