Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 401 Zero One A house is a house again

(Happy holidays, finally take a break, let’s all have fun.)
Xia Yuhong took the coat and hung it on the coat rack. Uncle Xue helped make this thing last time. It was very beautiful. Xia Yuhong and Lin Na both asked Zhu Xuefeng to make two pieces for their families. They just gave them to the two families yesterday. In the past, adults from both families loved it.

"It's not a big deal. I'm thinking about designing a truck engine and new materials. Xiaohong, you must have learned this stew from your mother."

"My mother didn't have time to teach me. I learned this when I went home for the Chinese New Year, but it's very simple. The one Sister Lin made was troublesome. I watched her struggle for a long time, but it's so delicious."

"That's the smell of beef. It has nothing to do with me. It tastes just as good when you make it."

Lin Na couldn't help chatting in the kitchen, and the younger sister smiled and complained, "Brother, I said that the two sisters cook better than the second brother. The second brother is not happy and said he won't cook crispy crucian carp for me next time."

The second child learned a few special dishes from Mr. Zhang Qing, and showed off his skills from time to time, which was indeed a bit fiery. The younger sister always asked the second child to show off, and the second child often relied on this to control the younger sister.

Zhu Xuefeng never stopped the two of them from having a little trouble, he just liked to watch the two of them having a little quarrel, which felt like home.

Seeing the vegetables and the steamed buns of Erhe Noodles being served, Zhu Xuefeng looked at the second son who looked unhappy and smiled.

"Go get some chili sauce. If any of you want to have some more beef soup, bring a bowl over. Something happened today and I need to talk to you."

Lin Na reminded in a low voice, Xia Yuhong seemed very troubled, and finally nodded.

"Hey, Xuefeng, I really have something to do with you. I guess your family must have eaten, so I thought of coming to see if you were there."

"Brother, I will keep an eye on my sister. Except for school, we will not go anywhere during these days."

The sky gradually darkened, and except for a few restless children who were still tossing about in the yard, there were really few people. The steel rolling mill continued to be full of work, so most of the men in the family had dinner in the canteen, and the big yard suddenly became a lot deserted. .

As soon as I went out, I bumped into the third uncle. It seemed that he was ready to pay a visit, but he seemed a little hesitant.

"Third uncle, do you have a problem with me?"

The two women didn't speak at all, but worry was still written on their faces.

The younger sister was not afraid, and continued to sip the hot beef soup, making slurping noises. The second brother glared at her, and she glared back, not taking it seriously.

It's broad daylight in the city again, so people are coming and going, so it should be fine.

Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng was about to get down to business, the younger brothers and sisters stopped playing around. Lin Na and Xia Yuhong didn't ask any questions and sat around the table quietly. Only the younger sister happily took a bowl and made a small bowl of beef and radish. Soup, taste it with my eldest brother.

"You can't hide from this. They won't give up until they get the technology. I have to remind the factory to pay attention."

"Pay attention to your own safety. We also know that we can't help you. If you are really in danger, just run to the police station. No matter how rampant they are, they will not dare to blatantly do evil here."

He originally wanted to take out his pistol to reassure them, but since his younger brothers and sisters were all there, he gave up.

"Sister Na and I will stay here tonight. If we don't go back, you don't have to worry about us. If the problem is solved, remember to tell us and don't let everyone worry about you."

"That's the situation. Therefore, during these days, everyone should be careful, try not to go to secluded places, and stay with other people as much as possible. I guess it won't be a problem for a few days."

"Xiao Feng, are you in danger like this? It's only for a few days anyway. Otherwise, don't go to the steel rolling mill. School starts in two days, so just stay at home. You'll be fine when you go back to school."

The second child is relatively calm and does not panic. The family has been on guard against what happened to Li Lao San last time and has plans in place for a long time.

Zhu Xuefeng took a bite of the steamed bun and drank the soup.

Lin Na looked at the man with some worry, and Xia Yuhong also nodded. Although the target was very skilled, it was easy to dodge with open guns and hard to prevent hidden arrows, so don't let any surprises happen.

Since meeting Zhu Xuefeng's autonomous region and industry, the two of them also understood that it was impossible to live an ordinary life again, but this was the first time they knew that a man had to face danger alone, and it was impossible not to worry about it.

"You guys can do your own thing for a while. When it gets dark, I will go out for a walk. I will come sooner or later. I will be done with it early and have a rest in the morning. You guys, don't worry about me. I am familiar with this place. If there is really any danger, I will run away. There is no way anyone will chase me." Gotta fuck me.”

The third uncle accompanied him with a smile, looking very humble. He didn't need to ask, and he wanted to ask for something. He couldn't see Zhu Xuefeng when he came back. He was at the opposite door. Zhu Xuefeng was not surprised. The third uncle was such a person, so he asked politely.

"You can just say whatever you want. You can also choose a time. Should you go into the room and say it, or..."

"You've been having guests at home these days, so it's not easy to disturb them, but school is about to start. I know you won't know when you'll be back when you leave, so I'm shameless to disturb you."

"As you said, let's talk inside the house?"

The two entered the north room. The two girls and their younger siblings watched the eldest brother come back without saying a word and continued to learn from themselves.

"Second brother, make a cup of tea for the third uncle and bring it in."

"No, no, no, they just came out of home, we don't have to pay so much attention, don't delay their studies."

The third uncle quickly stopped him, and Zhu Xuefeng gave up, closed the door, and asked in a low voice.

"Third uncle, you can talk now."

The third uncle seemed embarrassed, but he still spoke.

"Our boss has talked about it again, and now we are planning to get it done in the first half of this year. This..."

Zhu Xuefeng nodded. These three uncles were interested in the penthouse left by Uncle Zou and his wife. Now everyone knows that this house has been transferred to the name of the old Zhu family. It is considered a private house. Many people are interested, but when they hear that it is a private house , they all stopped thinking about it, and Zhu Xuefeng's reputation in the steel rolling mill was getting more and more famous, so everyone in the courtyard stopped thinking about it, and no one opened their mouths anymore.

Zhu Xuefeng looked at the third uncle with a smile, wondering what the third uncle was thinking.

"Third uncle, I see that third aunt has been cleaning up the small house next to you. It is not prepared for brother Jie Cheng." There is a small storage room next to the third uncle's house. It has no electricity and no windows. It is covered by the courtyard. When the utility room was filled with discarded items from every household, the third aunt would clean it out from time to time, as if she wanted to express something. Unfortunately, they didn't speak, so everyone pretended not to know whether it was a small utility room or a utility room.

The third uncle was a little embarrassed, "I had this idea, isn't the house tight, so I came up with this idea, but this small utility room is now full of clutter, and I can't help but clean it up, everyone." I tried several times, but few people moved, so I had no choice. I went to the street to ask for instructions several times, but couldn't solve the problem, so I thought about whether I could discuss it with your family. "

Looking at the third uncle's eager eyes, Zhu Xuefeng was a little confused. Yan Jiecheng and his wife had a small room after they got married. He couldn't remember whether it was a side room full of groceries. He didn't know how he dealt with it. He didn't expect that now It was a straightforward request to come to my door.

Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng was silent and seemed to be thinking, the third uncle still clearly remembered that two years ago, Zhu Xuefeng was unambiguous to the first uncle who forced him to give up his room. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous and explained quickly.

"Xiao Feng, this house belongs to your family. There is no doubt about it. We just want to rent it for a while and make a transition. We will wait for the street to help arrange it. We will move when we have a house. The rent will be as much as you want. You are incapable of understanding Brother Cheng. But now there is a salary, and he will definitely give you this money.”

This house was a problem when Uncle Zou moved around. It should be a lot more convenient for the three brothers and sisters. It could at least be transformed into a special kitchen. Now, the functionality and comfort will definitely be greatly improved, but Zhu Xuefeng has not touched it at all. The idea of ​​transformation.

"Third uncle, it's not a big deal, it's a happy event."

As soon as he heard what was said, the third uncle obeyed and muttered, this matter is really not that easy to handle, it involves the house, alas.

"As you know, the small penthouse next to me belongs to Uncle Zou's family. Our family is also taking care of it on their behalf, waiting for the day when the old couple returns home and has a place to stay."

The third uncle's heart had already sunk. It seemed that there was no need to talk about this matter, so he heard Zhu Xuefeng continue.

"This is a small apartment. It's okay to let Brother Jie Cheng build a new house first, but you have to think clearly. If he gets married and rents a house, I guess you will have no hope of queuing up on the street."

The third uncle thought a lot for a while. He was happy that Zhu Xuefeng actually agreed, but he was also troubled by Zhu Xuefeng's reminder. Indeed, if he rented Lao Zhu's house, the street would not care about it. Anyway, there is a place to live, and there is no place to live. There's a long queue.

I was so entangled for a while that I didn't consider this. It seemed that as soon as I moved in, I might not be able to get a room in my life.

Seeing that the third uncle looked constipated, Zhu Xuefeng knew that the old man was also in trouble and stood up.

"Third uncle, please go back and discuss it with your family. Don't worry. If you are really determined to use it, I will give you the key at any time. You can stay as long as you want. I will collect the rent for Uncle Zou first. It's just that if you two When the old man comes back, Brother Jie Cheng still has to free up."

Although a penthouse will be a fortune decades later, it is not in Zhu Xuefeng's eyes now. The three large courtyards were solved after Godmother reminded him. Zhu Xuefeng did not care about what to do with the houses here in the future. It’s true that the uncle’s family is in a tight housing situation, so it doesn’t matter if he helps, and there’s no objection to ownership.

"That's the reason. If the old couple comes back, they will have to deal with it without them having to say anything. Xiao Zhu, you are right to remind us that our family needs to discuss it again, please excuse me."

The third uncle lowered his head and walked away. The two younger brothers must have heard the commotion inside. They seemed a little dissatisfied with the elder brother's decision. They wanted to speak but were hindered by the presence of their two sisters.

The two women also heard it, but they followed her around in a big circle and didn't pay much attention to this little ottoman. It was Lin Na who spoke.

"Go and do your business and pay attention."

Zhu Xuefeng looked at the two children who were holding back what they wanted to say, nodded and went out. It seemed that he had to arrange a time to communicate with his brothers and sisters, but Xuemei was still too young. The last time she had a yard, she was confused about whether she should be working class or not. .

As soon as the third uncle entered the door, the third aunt asked with concern, "How is it? What did Xiao Zhu say?"

The third uncle looked at the expectant boss again and sighed.

"Go and close the door."

Yan Jiecheng quickly closed the door. This was a major event in his life. He heard that Uncle Zou was coming back to handle the relocation procedures and became interested. Unfortunately, Old Man Zou was so yin that he bought the house first and then signed the deed to Lao Zhu's house. There was nothing he could do. , and then I came up with the idea of ​​renting a house.

The third uncle said in a low voice. "Xiao Zhu is generous and agrees, but we really don't want to understand this matter, and we still have to think about it."

Yan Jiecheng was a little anxious when he heard this. He didn't expect Xiao Zhu to relax so easily. The third uncle went empty-handed.

"Dad, it's a good thing that he agrees. What are you thinking about? The heating for the small penthouse is brought from their house. There is no need to burn coal and firewood this winter. It saves a lot of trouble. What are you thinking about?"

The third aunt also nodded and looked at her husband. Do you still need to think about such a good thing?

"You all think too simply. If you rent someone else's house, it still belongs to them. Then do you want to own your own house in the future?"

The third uncle seemed to have anticipated his son's question. With a few words in an understatement, the room suddenly fell silent. Yan Jiecheng was still confused, but the third aunt finally woke up.

"Old man, you're saying that if the boss moves in, there's no hope of queuing up for a house, right?"

The third uncle nodded, "That's it. As long as you live in it, there may be no hope of getting another house in this life."

Yan Jiecheng was also in a dilemma. Although there was still no question of dividing the house, it would be solved one day. If he lived in it... Yan Jiecheng's expression kept changing.

"Dad, I figured it out, move in!"

The third uncle looked at his son in surprise. He had become so bold. This was a matter of a lifetime for the house.

"You have to think carefully, there is no turning back. Once you move in, you will probably not be able to get a house in your life. Don't regret it."

"Dad, I know I can't live in a house and get married. This house is better than that storage room. At least it has windows, water, electricity, and heating. Didn't Xiao Zhu say that as long as the old couple doesn't come back, we can live here as long as we want. I think it’s all right? Since Uncle Zou has moved here to live with his son, he probably won’t be able to come back.”

"Honey, what the boss said makes sense. As long as the Zou family doesn't come back, it's no different from dividing a house. The house still belongs to Xiao Zhu's family, and the boss and his wife can live there forever."

The third aunt's words made the third uncle hesitate. What the boss said makes sense. The key is whether the old couple will come back. This is really unreasonable. The old people are all about returning to their roots after falling leaves. It will not be a surprise at all if they come back one day.

Didn't Xiao Zhu already say that he was just looking after the house for Uncle Zou and his family? He might have something to explain in private. He thought about it and said to Yan Jiecheng.

"Don't make a decision in a hurry beforehand. Think about it again. This thing won't be done in a while. Don't be in a hurry. You go and call the fourth child over first. I'll ask her to find out what's going on with that girl Xuemei."
