Chapter 8: The Birds Are Red
It was another lazy day. I went to the steel mill for a walk, then went to Beiluoguxiang to get the shoulder strap and installed it on the car. It looked good, and I estimated it would last about a year. After all, it would wear out a lot if used for a long time. As for the chicken coop, I have already started making it.

Then I bought a wooden barrel and went to Shichahai to fish for a while using the bait I made myself. However, as there were many people fishing, I didn't dare to fish too much. After catching more than 20 kilograms, I went back to the steel rolling mill to deliver the goods.

Today we mainly went to find a suitable fishing spot, but after looking around we couldn’t find any suitable ones, so it seems we have to change places.

There is also the actual purchase process. Fish is not as expensive as pork, but the purchase settlement price is also 4000 yuan per catty, a total of 26.3 catties, so the money earned is 10.4 yuan.

Wang Jianfeng has been spending money since he came back from graduation. Today he finally has some income again. He was very happy and went to Quanjude to eat a roast duck. However, eating out every day is indeed a bit of a waste of money.

Afterwards, Wang Jianfeng returned to the courtyard to see the renovation progress. The renovation materials had been moved in, and the people arranged by Captain Lei were already working on the construction. Captain Lei also arranged for people to go to the street office to file the construction progress.

Wang Jianfeng communicated with Master Lei and others about some details of the decoration, and then prepared to go back to the guesthouse to rest.

Just as Wang Jianfeng was about to leave, he met three uncles in charge who came to look for him. Some residents of the courtyard also came to watch the fun. There was indeed a lot of noise in the renovations over the past two days.

"Comrade Jianfeng, are you going to renovate? Why didn't you inform the yard? Why didn't you discuss it with us?" Yi Zhonghai asked as soon as he came up. When they were off work, they saw that the yard was being renovated. Although Wang Jianfeng's yard was an independent small yard, there were a lot of materials that needed to be moved today, and more than a dozen workers were coming in and out, which still had a certain impact on the yard.

The main thing was that Wang Jianfeng suddenly moved in and gave them so many rooms and a yard. What’s more, he also did a lot of renovations, which made everyone a little envious and jealous.

"Uncle, this house has been allocated to me by the steel rolling mill and the street office. It is my business to decorate it, and the decoration has been filed with the street office. I have followed the formal procedures. Are you more powerful than the street office?" Wang Jianfeng said indifferently, which was a soft rejection to Yi Zhonghai. If he was too soft, based on the personalities of these people, they would probably find it easy to bully them in the future. If he was too tough, it would have a bad influence on others.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned black. Before he could say anything, he heard Liu Haizhong next to him speak.
"Since it has been filed with the subdistrict office, then it's fine. However, if there is anything in the future, you must notify us in advance. After all, we are a civilized compound, and unity is the most important thing." Liu Haizhong was secretly happy when he saw Yi Zhonghai being humiliated, and then he said righteously
"Yes, Jianfeng, if you have any problems in the future, please report to the manager of the yard first," Yan Bugui immediately agreed.

"Okay, since there is no problem, let's go back. Everyone can go home," Yi Zhonghai said, then he waved his sleeves and left.

"Jianfeng, stop telling me that you went to work at the steel mill today," Yan Bugui said after everyone left.

"Who are you specifically responsible for?"

"And your bicycle, can you lend it to me for a ride?" The sharp-eyed uncle saw the bicycle parked in the corner.

"Can you help me buy some cheap supplies in the future?"

"The third group of the purchasing department of the steel mill is responsible for purchasing materials in the countryside." Wang Jianfeng didn't want to show too much enthusiasm and be fleeced by the third uncle. Wouldn't it be better to use the things for yourself? Even if there are any leftovers, wouldn't it be better to give them to the villagers?

"It's good to go to the countryside. You can buy a lot of unplanned supplies. Don't forget your uncle when you get good things in the future."

"Uncle, you are joking. The work of the purchasing department is not easy now. It is all about unified purchase and sales. The people in the countryside can't even get enough food, so how can they have extra supplies to sell to me? I am still worried about how to complete the monthly tasks," Wang Jianfeng replied.
"You just renovated your house and bought a bicycle, why don't you treat everyone to a meal?" Yan Bugui said unwillingly.
"Look at what you said. I just started working and my salary hasn't been paid yet. I'm also renovating my house because I'm thinking of settling here for a long time. I have to renovate it and buy household expenses. A lot of money is borrowed from my classmates. How about you lend me some money? I need to buy some furniture and so on," said Wang Jianfeng.
"You really don't know how to live, kid"

"Old Yan, what are you talking about? Come back for dinner." This is the three gates in the courtyard shouting.

"Auntie is calling you home for dinner. I'll see you later." Wang Jianfeng said and ran away. "This kid is so slippery," Yan Bugui muttered. He wanted to teach him a lesson. In fact, people can live in this house even without decoration.

"Wang Jianfeng is a good guy. Today, Old Yi suffered a loss. Guangtian and Guangfu, you should get in touch with him more. Fortunately, our Guangqi was admitted to a technical secondary school," Liu Haizhong said to his sons and second aunt in the backyard.

"Da Mao, if you have time, please contact Wang Jianfeng more often. We are almost done with it. If we can have separate rooms, we will separate immediately and move out with your sister. You will have more space here. And you need to study hard. I will find a way to make you a regular projectionist apprentice as soon as possible." Xu Youde said to Xu's mother and Xu Damao and his sister at home in the backyard of Xu Damao's house.
"This bad guy has so much money but doesn't know how to help our family. He should give us two of the many houses. Dongxu, we only have one house and it's not enough for a family of four. When Banggeng grows up in two years or your wife has more children, what should we do? You have to find a way," Jia Zhang said to her son Jia Dongxu.

"Let me think of a solution. He is currently renovating his house. When he finishes, we can rent a room and move in directly. That would kill two birds with one stone. But what if he doesn't agree?" Jia Dongxu said.

"I don't agree. He dares to disagree. He is rebellious."

"If he disagrees, go find your master, he is the boss of the yard, and ask him to kick Wang Jianfeng out."

"Okay, Mom, I'll discuss this with my master tomorrow."

Qin Huairu was very excited watching the two of them discussing. These days, there is only one room with a partition in the middle. The couple lives inside and Grandmother Jia lives outside. It is very inconvenient, especially when the couple wants to communicate deeply. So she really wants a room.

"This bastard, wait and see how I deal with him. He actually doesn't give me face." Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and said to the aunt after returning home.
"This kid is no simple matter. He is bullying his uncle like this. Looks like this yard is going to be noisy." Yan Bugui was also talking to his family at home. Looking at this big family, he was also worried. There were three half-grown boys and a girl. He was the only one in the family of six who earned a salary.

"..."The deaf old lady's home

"..." The neighbor in the front yard

"..." Intermediate Court

"...."backyard

On the way home, Wang Jianfeng felt his ears were very hot and he kept sneezing.

In the following days, Wang Jianfeng had been going around guerrilla fishing, and by the weekend he had caught more than 100 kilograms of fish. It was not that he could not catch any, but he really did not dare to fish more. Others could only catch one or two fish, but he caught so many, so there must be a problem. It seemed that he had to go to the countryside.

When he was in school, he would find a purchasing partner to supply fish when he went fishing. For fear of arousing suspicion, he lied and said that he was fishing with his classmates and he was just helping them sell the fish.

I also have several suppliers, and there have been no problems for more than three years. Now that I am doing the procurement myself, I feel safer and assured, and there are no middlemen to make a profit from the price difference.

These days, the news about Wang Jianfeng's wasteful behavior of borrowing money to renovate his house and buy a bicycle has been spreading in the courtyard.
