The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

"Why does it feel like, at the end of the year, everyone is getting pregnant, having kids, and getting married?"

Nan Yi announced the news that he was going to marry Liang Ladi, Li Xuewen's wife gave birth to a boy, Chu Heng's wife looked like she was about to give birth, and Jiang Defu's wife just got pregnant last month.

Life improved suddenly, and Li Feng felt that everyone in the world wanted children, either already had one or were preparing to have one.

After smoking a cigarette, Li Feng still couldn't figure it out. In the middle of winter, it was understandable for a man to hug his wife to keep warm, but a grown man also had to control himself.

There is a lonely person here who keeps receiving this kind of news, which is not good for him.

The people in the grain system are very efficient and straightforward in their work. You can tell how rich the unit is by looking at the boxes they carry during the financial handover.

I don't know if it was intentional, but when the box was opened, there were bundles of brand new banknotes, tied tightly together. For this price, there was no chance of bargaining. All ninety-seven houses were bought with full payment.

"Do you want to split it up?"

People in the finance department have seen this kind of arrangement when distributing salaries, but they have never seen it like this when collecting money, with a stack of 100 bills, a bundle of 1,000 bills, and the bank's seal on them.

"Ten thousand per bundle, don't unpack them, or it will be troublesome to store them~!"

He had to be an experienced accountant, who could tell the amount with just a glance. After counting eight bundles and seven stacks and a few miscellaneous bills, he got the change and issued the invoice directly on the spot.

More than 80,000 yuan, 97 houses, with an average price of less than 1,000 yuan per house. For the steel rolling mill, it was considered a burden thrown away before the end of the year and a small profit.

The profit is the part that the steel mill advances. Since I am not an employee of the steel mill, there is no advance payment. If I want to buy, I have to pay the full amount.

"This head up?"

Each receipt had a different amount, and each one corresponded to a room number. After the accountant finished his work, he looked at the people who brought the money.

Among them was Chu Heng’s brother-in-law.

"Leave it empty. These houses are ours anyway. We still need to think about it within our unit~!"

With a faint smile on his face, the other party's financial person opened the suitcase he brought again, counted the unsigned receipts, and put them into the suitcase one by one.

It doesn't look like a collaboration between two public institutions at all, but rather like some gangsters secretly handing over money and receiving goods.

"Okay, it would be best if you could give us the list in time. Then, when you go to get the room, you can present your work permit and this receipt and we will give you the key~!"

"Okay, thank you, Director Liu~!"

The money has been deposited into the steel rolling mill's account, and Liu Guangqi is no longer concerned about the house. He handed over the remaining names, and the only thing left to do was to hand over the house by the end of the year.

“You’re welcome! You’re welcome~!”

The two sides shook hands again, and the ninety-seven houses no longer had anything to do with the workers of the steel mill.

After Liu Guangqi instructed the Security Department to take the Finance Department to the bank to deposit money, he went to the top floor of the office building and knocked on the door of Li Feng's office.

Inside the room, Li Feng, who was chatting with Chu Heng, heard a knock on the door and knew that the matter was settled.

"done?"

"Okay, Deputy Secretary Li, let the security guards take the finance department to deposit it~!"

Liu Guangqi pushed open the door without interrupting the conversation between the two old comrades inside. He stood at the door and reported before closing the door.

"You guys are really fast~!"

Li Feng returned to his desk and sat down, looking at Chu Heng who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, and said jokingly, "Why delay things that can be decided before the New Year until after the New Year, right? Our unit doesn't need this little money. As soon as you posted the notice, our bureau's finance department has prepared the money~!"

How could Chu Heng leave time for the steel rolling mill to contact external units? The matter was instructed by his superior (brother-in-law) himself, and it should be treated as a political task.

If the steel rolling mill really contacts other units, then it would be just a waste of time.

"What month was the birth date?"

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about the second phase first. When the time comes, can we cooperate again? Don't worry, as long as there is extra, we can take it~!"

Having said this, Chu Heng became more excited and sat down opposite Li Feng's desk.

In his eyes, these are not just houses, but favors. If the unit distributes one house to others, there will be one more person who owes him a favor.

These houses are all extra. They were obtained by Chu Heng through his comrades-in-arms. They are completely different from the previous buildings. Li Feng has been promoted to deputy factory director and is only one step away from the position of factory director. He also has to hurry up and make progress.

The manager of Sanliang Store may be okay at normal times, but when it comes to his comrades, he has to bend down with his straight back, and he can't even catch up with them even if he runs fast. They have all gone to study in a higher-level school.

"That's still too early, until next year~!"

Li Feng saw the changes in his comrades. In the past, they dared to arm wrestle with thieves for their bicycles. In the blink of an eye, several years have passed and they have all matured. However, he did not know whether this maturity was a good thing or a bad thing.

"It's not too early, next year is next year, can you give me a definite answer now? If your factory has raised all the internal funds, I will have no objection, but if there is any extra, I can report to my superior (brother-in-law) when I go back~!"

This is the definite confirmation that Chu Heng wants. As long as this matter is done and has a perfect ending, with the contribution of building the family housing, he can definitely make further progress.

"You can't predict what will happen next year, and neither can I. There may be changes. If I'm still here, I'll try my best to help you~!"

Patting the armrest of the chair, Li Feng was not sure about the situation next year. The situation of the second phase was different from that of the first phase, and the first phase would affect the start of construction of the second phase and the affordable housing.

The construction of the second phase will not affect the subsequent stages because there will be no third or fourth phases. In addition, when the tide is surging, Li Feng is not very confident.

After half a year of studying at the archives school, the more I read newspapers and books, the more I have an indescribable feeling, as if I am standing on a terrace on a typhoon day.

As for his comrade-in-arms, Li Feng felt that he could not persuade him. In fact, Sanliangdian was a good job. He had a wife and a dozen people under him, and they just had to get the job done together.

When he became the deputy factory director, even if he didn't want to, he could feel an inexplicable pressure pushing him forward.

This was something I felt after I came out of the laboratory. The joy I felt when I patted Jiang Defu's back was like the joy that comes from a spring being compressed to a certain position and then released.

"Your words are enough. Don't worry, my brother-in-law said that you are very stable and no one will touch you. Come on, I have to go back~!"

Chu Heng seemed unable to figure out what Li Feng was worried about. He put the cigarette into the ashtray, stood up and went to the coat rack to get his hat. This was his way of saying goodbye after getting the confirmation letter.

There is no such thing as serving tea or seeing off guests. There are no such rules and regulations between old comrades. Chu Heng, who was about to open the door and leave, suddenly heard Li Feng behind him asking him a question.

"What do you think if I put on that uniform again?"

"I look at it sideways, vertically, and even backwards. We have all retired. It has been several years. We have taken off those clothes a long time ago. You still want to put them back on. You can't put them back on~!"

Putting down the handle, Chu Heng walked back from the door, grabbed the half pack of cigarettes left by Li Feng on the table, and stuffed it into the seam of his clothes, not at all serious. He might have felt that Li Feng was joking with him.

"You took it off, but I didn't take it off completely~!"

Li Feng was not angry that his cigarette was stolen by Ms. Bai. He played with the cup in his hand and looked outside the door with a confused look.

He was considering whether the steel mill could change its track... (End of this chapter)
