The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 432: Courtyard, the wind rises!

"Well, sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to tell you, I just really don't know." Zhang Shenfei shrugged.

He was the one who planned and built the first collective housing unit, but he no longer works at the steel mill.

He will help people to the end and send them off to the west. Once the first batch of residents move into their new houses, his mission will be completed.

As for the subsequent arrangements for the steel rolling mill, he didn't want to know and didn't inquire.

"Well, why did your brother and I have so many children..." Tang Danniu was a little worried, "After all the calculations, this house is still not enough..."

In fact, even if Zhang Shenfei told her when the second batch of houses would be built, she would not be able to afford to buy more houses.

When she bought the house, she borrowed money from her twin brothers and triplet brothers.

The money has not been repaid yet, how can I borrow again now?
Tian Xiaozao and Zhang Shenfei looked at each other with laughter and tears. Zhang Shenfei asked directly: "Sister-in-law, if the little eleven in your belly is a boy, will you still give birth to the twelfth child?"

"Well no matter what, I have to have a daughter." Tang Danniu pouted.

She was never willing to be without a daughter.

Zhang Shenfei knew she would say that, and commented: "Well, you haven't worked hard enough with the house yet."

Tang Danniu stamped her feet and said, "When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way. I don't believe that a girl like me will never have a daughter in this life!!"

"As for the house? As long as you're not dead, just work hard. You can always afford it." she said.

"Sister-in-law, Dafei is joking with you. If you really want to buy a house, can we just ignore it?" Tian Xiaozao said when she saw that she was worried.

"Zao'er, sister-in-law knows that you are a good person." Tang Danniu was deeply moved.

……

At night, in the backyard of the courtyard, at Liu's house.

There was a rare large plate on the table, with four fried eggs on it.

You should know that the fried eggs in the Liu family have always been enjoyed by only Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi.

Ever since Liu Guangqi left Siheyuan, he has become Liu Haizhong's exclusive dish.

What is an egg? It is protein!! It is the most scarce thing for ordinary people in this era. Eating an egg every day means that the body can meet all the protein needs of the day.

When Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu saw the eggs on the table, they opened their mouths in surprise: "Dad, if you eat four eggs a day, your body can't absorb it..."

"Second brother is right, all the nutrients are wasted... otherwise..." Liu Guangfu said while quietly observing the expressions of his father Liu Haizhong and his mother Second Aunt.

He wanted to say, "Or give me one," but he was afraid of the power of the leather belt around his father's waist, so he didn't dare to say it out loud.

The second aunt smiled and said, "What are you two talking about? I fried eggs today to celebrate our move to a new house. One for each of you. Everyone has a share."

Hiss!!! Everyone gets a share? ? Brothers Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian were stunned.

The shock this incident brought to both of them was no less than moving to a new home.

After all, the house was bought six years ago, and fried eggs? They couldn't remember how many years it had been since they had eaten them.

Seeing the father nod, the two immediately picked up their chopsticks, one took a fried egg and the other took a wolf, and devoured them with relish.

After pickling the eggs, Liu Guangfu finally spoke: "Dad, if we move away, what will we do with the courtyard house?"

Their house lives in a courtyard house, and these two rooms are private houses. If they move out, these two rooms will be empty, which is a pity.

Liu Haizhong and the second aunt exchanged a glance, then looked at the two sons and said calmly, "Your mother and I also mean the same thing. This house is our private house and it's a pity to leave the key like this. But if we rent it out on the street, the monthly rent is not much...

So, we discussed it and decided that your mother and I will move to the new house in a few days, and you two brothers will stay here."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, you two young men definitely don't know how to cook, so you two can go to the fundraising building to eat and only come back to sleep at night."

You won't let us live in the new house? Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu's eyes suddenly flashed with dissatisfaction.

"No way, didn't we buy a house of more than 70 square meters from the collective housing project? It's probably too big for you two old people to live in it." Liu Guangtian said.

"That's right. Aren't you two scared living in such a big house? Having two big guys like us living together can give you courage." Liu Guangfu continued.

But what if he didn't move out and lived here? Of course, he didn't want to do that. Who would want to live in a shanty town in the alley when there are apartments to live in?

Of course, I thought this in my heart, but I couldn’t say it out loud.

Liu Haizhong has absolute right to speak and use violence in the Liu family. The two brothers are dissatisfied in their hearts, but they dare not resist strongly. They just say nice things.

But they didn’t know that Liu Haizhong and Second Aunt had already figured out how to distribute the house.

Today's eggs are also the last kindness they have as parents.

"Ahem," Liu Haizhong cleared his throat to signal his two sons to be quiet, then said, "You two just stay in the courtyard and live there peacefully. Your mother and I have already made plans for the collective housing."

The second aunt continued, "That's right, after drawing lots today, your father has written a letter to your eldest brother, inviting him to bring your sister-in-law back to live in the building.

When the two of them arrived, the house over there was a collective housing project and was just the right size for the four of us to live in.

Your sister-in-law is already pregnant, I can still help them with the housework..."

Although the collective housing is only about 70 square meters, it has three bedrooms. When the eldest grandson is born, it will be just right for their family of five to live in three bedrooms and a living room.

Liu Haizhong and Second Aunt felt extremely happy when they thought about living with their beloved eldest son.

Although I don't know why my eldest son followed his daughter-in-law to Shijiazhuang after getting married, I once felt resentful about my son's decision.

But as a parent, who has the heart to really blame their beloved child???
After a few years, the two no longer had any bad thoughts in their minds.

This time, taking advantage of the new house, they just want to coax their eldest son back to be with them.

As for the second and third children? ? They are just like that.

Aren't there these two rooms in the courtyard? When the time comes, we can have one room each, which will be enough for us to marry a wife.

After the second aunt finished speaking, Liu Haizhong added: "You won't be at a disadvantage. Your mother and I have thought it through. The three-bedroom apartment will be given to your eldest brother, and he and his wife will be responsible for your mother and me in our old age.

You two brothers will stay in the courtyard, so you don’t have to worry about us old couple anymore.”

Simply put, those who are responsible for elderly care get the bulk of the property, and those who are not responsible for elderly care get the smaller share. Liu Haizhong thinks this is fair.

But he chose to ignore the fact that he is now a seventh-level blacksmith, with a monthly salary of more than eighty yuan, and after retirement, his monthly pension will be at least sixty yuan.

Even if the second aunt doesn't have a job, this pension is enough for the couple to live on in their old age and to subsidize the eldest couple's household expenses.

In other words, it is not selectively ignored, but deliberately blurred.

Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian felt choked by their parents' words for a moment.

Let's not talk about the issue of his father's pension and the free medical care he could get as a worker, let's just talk about the house. How dilapidated is the quadrangle house? ? ? It's less than 40 square meters in total, and if they divide it between the two brothers, each of them will only get a dozen square meters.

The housing unit over there is a new building!!! It is over 70 square meters!!! Three bedrooms and a living room!!!

And why do my elder brother and his wife live in two rooms with a living room, but they only have one room each? ?

"Dad, Mom, this is unfair! You have always treated my eldest brother better than us since he was a child, so I won't say anything. But why should such a good collective housing be lived in only by him?" Liu Guangtian was so angry that he slammed the table.

Whose favoritism is so extreme that it reaches the bottom of their pants? ? A fried egg in exchange for a house, this is treating them like idiots!!!

At this moment, he wanted to dig his throat with his hands and spit out the fried egg he had just swallowed.

Although Liu Guangfu was still young and had not thought about getting married, he understood the difference between a room in a courtyard house and an apartment in a collective housing estate.

"Dad, Mom, I am willing to take care of you in your old age. Give me the house in the collective housing fund, and I will take care of you when you are old.

I can do everything that my elder brother can do, and I can do it better than him! ! " He patted his chest and said.

There were two brothers, one used language and the other used force, one played the good cop and the other played the bad cop, but Liu Haizhong and his wife were not fooled at all.

The second aunt curled her lips and said, "Relying on you two? Your father and I can't even eat four dishes in our lifetime. Among the three of you brothers, the only one we can rely on is your eldest brother."

"Brother is such a good person, why did he abandon you two and go to Shijiazhuang?" Liu Guangtian's face turned red and his neck became thick, and the knife stabbed directly into his mother's heart.

"It's been so long, Mani, don't you understand yet? My second brother and I are the ones you two can rely on." Liu Guangfu tried hard.

Before the two of them finished speaking, Liu Haizhong slammed the table and said, "It's not your turn to make the decision in this family! The house matter is settled. If you agree, then agree. If you don't agree, get out of here!!!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked out the door with his hands behind his back.

"Look at you two, you made your dad so angry that he doesn't even want to eat fried eggs..." After saying this, the second aunt hurriedly went over to comfort her old man.

Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian's faces turned pale. They looked at each other but remained silent.

What else could they do? Run away from home like the fourth child of the Zhang family? Or cut off all ties with their parents?
What a joke! !

These days, without a food allowance or a letter of introduction, it is difficult to move forward.

Everyone said that Mr. Zhang had been away for a few months and might have died outside.

If he doesn't leave this home, they will have to be controlled by their parents.

Broken teeth and blood...

The room was silent for a long time. Liu Guangtian gritted his teeth and said, "What can I do? People have to bow their heads under the eaves."

"So be it. There has never been any fairness in this family anyway." Liu Guangfu also sighed.

"Don't let me seize the opportunity!!! If that day comes, I will make my parents regret it!" Liu Guang said word by word in a bad mood.

"Second brother, no matter what time, I will always stand on the same side with you." There was a hint of ferocity in Liu Guangfu's eyes.

Although the second brother is usually more manic in front of his parents, he always chooses a gentler approach.

But in fact, his hatred for his parents is no less than that of his second brother.

……

Middle courtyard, Jia's house.

Jia Zhang rubbed her hands excitedly and announced that she would move to the collective housing building with Lao Qin and Qin Lao Er on May Day.

When they bought the house, they didn't have much money, so they bought the smallest one-bedroom apartment of 30 square meters.

But even so, it is much better than having a family of six squeezed into this 30-square-meter house now.

She and Lao Qin have already discussed it and after they move in, they will put a small bed in the living room for Qin Lao Er to live in.

The old couple lived together in the bedroom.

Bang Geng heard this and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes: "No, grandma, aren't you going to take me and mom with you?"

He is the eldest son and grandson of the Jia family, how can he not have a share in living in the new house? ? ?
Jia Zhang curled her lips and said, "When we bought the house, it was your grandfather Qin and I who paid for it. Your mother didn't contribute a penny."

Old Qin glanced at Qin Huairu's worried expression and said quickly: "Our courtyard house is indeed too crowded. After we move out, you can live in a more spacious place."

Now that Jia Dongxu is gone, Qin Huairu lives in two rooms with her three children. The accommodation conditions are not bad in Beijing.

"Spacious? No matter how spacious it is, can a house in a collective housing estate be good? I don't care. I want to live in a collective housing estate. If you don't let me live there, you can forget about having a good life!" Banggeng is already ten years old. He is not a child and was not fooled by their few words.

"How can you talk like that, kid?" Jia Zhang's face immediately became long.

She would not tolerate Bang Geng. This child was much worse than their Qin Lao Er. Not only was he ignorant, he also loved to steal and always ranked last in school.

Sometimes she would often wonder, how could the Jia family give birth to such a thing? What a misfortune for the family!!!
"What's wrong with me? Since you won't let me go, none of you can live here!" After saying that, Banggeng pushed the table and ran out of the house with a bang.

When I passed by Yi Zhonghai's house, I heard the couple discussing the issue of collective housing.

Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level fitter, with a monthly salary of ninety-nine yuan. Apart from the Chang family, he is the only one in the courtyard who is not short of money.

But he is also one of the few people in this courtyard who did not buy a collective housing.

The reason is simple, mainly because their house is big enough for them.

Yi Zhonghai and his wife were having dinner while discussing who had won which unit in which building.

Yi Weihong listened with great interest and put down her chopsticks: "Mom and Dad, I also want to live in a collective housing."

"You little girl, our house is big enough for us to live in, so we don't need to buy a new one." Yi Zhonghai said as he touched her hair lovingly.

"I don't want to. Brother Ximei said they are going to live in a building, and I want to live in a building too." Yi Weihong refused and slapped her father's hand off her head, "If you don't buy me a house, I won't play with you anymore."

Hiss!! How can this be possible???
Yi Zhonghai had a daughter in his old age, and the person he valued most in his life was Yi Weihong.

If my daughter ignores me, it's like the sky is falling. What's the difference?
Isn't it just a collective housing unit? It's not like he can't afford it.

"Buy it! When the factory gets the second batch of houses, Dad will buy it for you immediately!" he said hurriedly.

"Old Yi, you're spoiling your child too much." An old lady stopped him.

"Well, what's the big deal? Wei Hong is our only child. Won't everything be left to her in the future?" Yi Zhonghai waved his hand.

He just thought about it and decided that if he could get another house, his child would have more security, and he would be able to stand more confident when he finds a son-in-law in the future.

Besides, if the son-in-law doesn't agree to live with them in the future, having two houses will give them an extra guarantee...
