After promising the patrol, Li Xuewu smiled and said to Director Wang, "Mama Wang, have you heard anything about my house?"
Director Wang stood up with a smile and walked back to his desk. He took out a map and said, "I've done it for you. The four rooms are for you."
Director Wang pointed to the location of the big courtyard on the map and said, "You call me Mom, don't say I don't think of you, see? This is the location of your courtyard. There was a courtyard crossing the west, just like the layout of the courtyard."
Li Xuewu straightened up and said excitedly, "Mom, will you give it to me?"
Director Wang looked at him blankly and said, "What good things are you thinking about? Then the courtyard can't be called Grandma. What I said is that the original inverted seat house and front yard of the west cross courtyard were the open-air warehouses of the supply and marketing cooperatives. Now they are not used. The three doors have been built up. The courtyard wall has been separated again, and the door does not open to this side."
Li Xuewu took the map and looked at it carefully. The courtyard was equivalent to the front courtyard of the Li family and the courtyard of Daozuofang.
Director Wang said with a smile, "You just want a house, you can pay 200 yuan to the street, and I will delimit the yard for you.".
Li Xuewu said simply, "I want it. I'll give you 300 more. Please give me both the middle courtyard and the backyard."
Director Wang laughed and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense. The front yard is occupied by the supply and marketing cooperatives. This year, he built his own warehouse. Otherwise, it would be your turn."
Li Xuewu directly took out the money and put it on the table.
"The front yard is the front yard. 200 yuan is worth it."
Director Wang smiled and put the money into an envelope and wrote the name and position: "Hey, it's still young people who react quickly, not because you are the one I grew up with, I will not give you"
Li Xuewu's cheek is thicker than the city wall, but can he still let it fall on the ground?
"Who wants you to be my mother? Mom, I will go to your house to eat at night. Remember to buy vegetables."
With these words, he took the procedures written by Director Wang and left the house. Before going out, he didn't forget to look back and shouted, "What I said is true! Don't buy meat!"
Li Xuewu didn't care if Director Wang scolded him behind, so he rode home after getting on the bus.
After entering the alley, I went to the courtyard next to the courtyard.
The south courtyard wall reopened, and a large closed iron door was locked.
Li Xuewu took out the key given by Director Wang to open the door, and the big iron door made by the supply and marketing cooperative was still honest.
I pushed the car into the yard and looked naked. The walls around me were high and there was a barbed wire anti-theft net. It seems that things here have been stolen.
The ground has been leveled, and there is still a room near the gate of the original inverted seat room, which should be used for duty.
Li Xuewu opened the door of the inverted house. The inside was quite clean. It seemed that the supply and marketing cooperatives had not returned the rent for long.
The layout of the inverted house is very simple. It is a room, about 20 square meters, with all the window glass in it. It is OK, but the glass has not been removed.
Li Xuewu went out and looked around. It turned out that the foundation of the inverted house was flat. Some of the bricks, tiles, beams and wood left from the demolition of the house were stacked in the corner of the wall, which was a big pile.
Pretty good, 200 yuan is enough to buy a 600 square meter yard, although it's still a favor.
Li Xuewu pushed the car out of the gate, unlocked it, and walked to the courtyard.
As soon as I entered the second door, I saw the third uncle cleaning the car.
Li Xuewu grabbed the bamboo shoots and asked with a smile, "Third Uncle, I didn't go out today and cleaned the car all day?"
The third uncle turned his back to Li Xuewu, stood up beside him and said, "Where are you? I came back early without class this afternoon. Ouch! Hey, new bike! You are a cadre. I bought a car the next day after work! What a bull!"
Li Xuewu pushed the car to stop at the window, and said, "The ticket was given by the head before you came back. Besides, it's not as early as you bought it!"
After teasing with the Third Uncle, he entered the house.
Seeing Li Xuewu coming back, Liu Yin asked the third uncle, "What kind of bike? You are tired of being on duty. Just lie down for a while."
Li Xuewu shook his head as he picked up the satchel and replied, "I'm not tired. I slept for half the night, and I caught someone for half the night. Oh, yes, I bought a bicycle."
Surprised, Liu Yin said, "On the first day, people were arrested. What? Bicycles? Where did you get the money and tickets?"
Li Xuewu is still the well thought out excuse: "It was given by the leader before he retired from the army, and it is convenient to ride to work"
Liu Yin slapped him and said, "Why don't you discuss it with your family? There is no money left. Tell your mother if you are short of money."
Li Xuewu smiled and said, "My father has separated from me."
Liu Yin twisted him bitterly and said, "What nonsense!" Then she went out to check the bike. She touched the handlebar and the crossbar with her hands, and answered the third uncle's sour words.
Grandma and Grandma also went out to have a look. Li Xuewu went down to the cellar and took a piece of pork about 20 jin, cut another piece of pig liver and heart, and packed them in a lunch box.
Seeing Liu Yin and her grandmother coming back, she said, "Mom, the street has given me the inverted seat room and the screen door. I spent 200 yuan to buy a yard across the west courtyard."
Liu Yin was shocked when she heard Li Xuewu's words: "Do you really want to be separated?"
Li Xuewu said with a smile, "What if I don't divide the family? My elder brother will provide for the elderly. I can still get married at home. Can I live here?"
Liu Yin burst into tears. Li Xuewu hurried to hold her and comforted her, "I'm not out of the capital. I'm right in front of your eyes. Why are you still crying?"
Liu Yin said with tears in her eyes, "I am both happy and sad to see you grow up and start a family."
Old Mrs. Li went back to the inner room with her hands behind her back, and said as she walked, "You can't help your mother. The chicken flies up to the wall. Hi!"
Liu Yin knew that the old lady was comforting herself, and Li Shun and his brothers lived everywhere.
Liu Yin cried and said, "Let me help you clean up."
Li Xuewu could not laugh or cry: "What should I do? There is not even a place to stand in the house. It is all the things of the residents in the yard. I have to tell them to move away. Besides, I want to reform it. It will take several days."
Liu Yin nodded and said, "OK, why is the courtyard used?"
Li Xuewu said, "I'm going to expand the screen door outward. The inner wall is connected to the west courtyard. There is a gate in the west courtyard. Later, the carriages and horses will be put into the west courtyard. There is also a seat room in the west courtyard. Grandma and Li Xue will live in it."
Then the big grandma came into the house and said with a smile, "Don't let your milk and snow bother you. I'll go to live there. The yard over there is bigger than here. It's just time to feed the horse."
Liu Yinchen said, "Dad, why do you join us?"
The big grandma waved her hand and said, "It's good to learn martial arts. You can give the big grandma a pension. The big grandma has only carriages and horses. How about you?"
Grandma used to be a carpenter in the furniture factory outside Dongzhimen. She was registered as a city resident in 54 years.
But Grandma is a rural person, the only child in her family, and has to support the elderly who are not in good health. She can't live in the dormitory in the city, so she lives in the countryside with Grandma.
The two old men worked hard all their lives, and only this carriage and horse were left.
Li Xuewu looked at Grandma's eyes. He knew that Grandma was not used to living here, and his son-in-law's house was not spacious.
"That's nice. That's a good deal. The big green horse and the carriage are mine. I'll give you an old age, and you can't go back on it!" Li Xuewu said with a smile.
