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

Chapter 492 Everyone needs to buy a house!

The family separated at the intersection of Gulou East Street and Nanluoguxiang.

Zhang Shenliang and his wife, along with their dozen or so sons, headed towards the Dongzhimen Gate in a mighty procession.

A middle-aged couple brought with them a dozen children, all sons. Wherever they went, not only people but even dogs gave way.

Looking at their backs, Zhang Shenfei began to calculate in his mind how many children he still needed to catch up with his brother and sister-in-law.

If you don’t count, you won’t know. Once you count, I’m shocked. There are still eight missing!!

Damn it, four wives are not as good as one brother! !
No, I have to keep working hard!!
After bidding farewell to Zhang Shenliang and his wife,
Zhang Shenfei and Tian Xiaozao took the old lady and son Zhang Weiguo, as well as Zhang Fendou and Yu Shui, and walked towards the courtyard.

The family just arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

Grandma Zhang yawned in a very pretentious manner and said that she hadn't caught up with the deaf old lady for a long time and that she planned to stay at the deaf old lady's house that night.

"I have to tell the deaf old lady about your experiences in the south... She really likes to hear me say these things."

Zhang Shenfei was speechless: "Are you sure she wants to hear it, not you want to show off?"

As far as he knew, his grandmother loved to show off so much these years. She would show off to the deaf old lady whenever she had something to do.

That old lady is almost getting PTSD.

Grandma Zhang glared at him and said, "Of course she wants to hear it? Am I the kind of person who would show off?"

"Aren't you?" Zhang Shenfei and Tian Xiaozao stared at her with their eyes wide open.

"I don't want to talk to them." Grandma Zhang said as she pulled her great-grandson Zhang Weiguo: "Let's go, you and your wife go to the deaf old lady's house to sleep tonight."

Zhang Weiguo wiped his nose and said that he didn't want to go to the deaf old lady's house, and he didn't want to sleep with two old ladies.

"I haven't slept with my dad for a long time. Now that my dad is back, I want to sleep with him..." The little guy shook his head to refuse.

Dad just came back and he didn’t have time to be intimate with his dad.

"No, you have to sleep with me at the deaf old lady's house tonight!! Your deaf old lady said she missed you...

Besides, your father brought a pound of cakes for your deaf wife this time, so I have to give them to her..."

As Grandma Zhang spoke, she picked up Zhang Zhiguo without hesitation.

The old lady is now over 70 years old, but she is in good health. She enjoys eating and walks briskly while holding her child.

Zhang Fendou scratched his head and said, "What is Madam doing? Why does she have to force the child to go to the deaf old lady's house..."

He Yushui rolled her eyes at him: "If you don't understand, keep quiet."

Zhang Fendou shut his mouth in grievance. Why did he feel that Yu Shui's personality was gradually becoming closer to that of his mother Tang Danniu?
This is not good, very bad...

Not only does he not like his wife's dominance, but most importantly, he doesn't want to raise thirteen sons!!!
……

The news of Zhang Shenfei's return spread quickly throughout the courtyard like wings.

Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong gathered at Yi Zhonghai's house, drinking and discussing what Zhang Shenfei's intention was in going to Guangdong Province for this work.

Open the Canton Fair like before? But this thing can't be open for that long!!!

"Have you read the newspaper? The country has started to build canals specifically to help the port city alleviate the water shortage..." Yan Bugui suddenly said mysteriously.

"Da Fei left around the same time as the water shortage. When he came back, the canal had just begun to be built... Do you think this incident has anything to do with him?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head, thinking that what he said was too mysterious: "Da Fei does hold a high position, but whether he was in the steel rolling mill before or the peeler factory now, he is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Metallurgy. This matter has nothing to do with him!!"

Besides, although Zhang Shenfei is a department-level cadre, he is quite powerful in their courtyard.

But who are the people in Sijiucheng? A brick thrown down could kill three cadres.

After leaving the courtyard, he thought Zhang Shenfei was not that great...

Liu Haizhong also said: "The peeler factory is also related to the Ministry of Foreign Trade, but I think what the uncle said is right. This matter has nothing to do with Dafei."

Yan Bugui was very dissatisfied with his words being refuted, and he said, "The newspaper said that the reason why our country built the canal was that we sent people to investigate...

I still think that Da Fei might be the special person..."

If Zhang Shenfei is really that awesome, he will have more to brag about in the future.

Yi Zhonghai felt that he was a bit picky about words and a bit fussy, so he didn't want to say anything more: "Never mind him, it has nothing to do with us anyway. Let's talk about business.

Well, this time the steel mill is building a second batch of collective housing, will you two buy a house?"

He said that, which means he wants to buy it.

Liu Haizhong nodded, then shook his head: "Of course I want to buy it. You know, the last house I bought was given to our eldest brother..."

Liu Haizhong spent his own money but never lived in the new house for a single day. It would be a lie to say that he had no emotions at all.

This means that the one living in the new house is his beloved eldest son Liu Guangqi. If it were the second or third son, he would definitely come to the door with a cowhide belt! !
"I want to buy another house, but I don't meet the requirements." Liu Haizhong sighed.

The factory’s rule is that each worker has one quota, and his quota has been taken last time.

So now I can only look at the house and sigh with regret.

Yan Bugui also showed a sad face: "Who said it wasn't? Although our family has a quota, Jiefang said it is his own and has nothing to do with us."

Yan Jiefang got into the steel mill thanks to Zhang Shenfei's relationship, and immediately became his assistant, not a worker but a clerk.

Over the years, we have made steady progress and our work level has been raised by two levels.

Now he no longer takes him as his father seriously. Yan Bugui thought about it for a long time and felt that Zhang Shenfei was the only person in this courtyard that Yan Jiefang could take seriously.

But the problem is that Zhang Shenfei is unwilling to help them convince Jiefang!!!
Yan Bugui told Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong what happened in the afternoon.

Liu Haizhong disagreed: "If you ask me, there is no need for you to look for Zhang Shenfei. Why do you look for him? Asking others to handle household chores makes you, as a father, look so incompetent!"

"Isn't it just that Jiefang refused to give up the quota? Beat him! A child is made by beating and kneaded by dough. As long as you beat him hard enough, are you afraid that you can't control the child?"

He just looked down upon Old Yan's teaching method. Maybe because he had been a teacher for too long, he mainly lectured when dealing with children.

Kid, you can’t live without someone you’re afraid of!!

If you don't establish the pressure of parenthood when they are still young, won't they rebel when they grow up? ?
Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but feel proud. Their Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu must be quite old now, right?

But when he glared at them, the two men trembled with fear! !
He felt that if the quota for the house was in the hands of the second son today, he wouldn't have to say anything, he only needed to cough and the second son would definitely give it up obediently! !
Liu Haizhong's show-off was immediately met with Yan Bugui's contempt and Yi Zhonghai's dissatisfaction.

Yi Zhonghai thought about it, and seemed a little hesitant, but still said: "Old Liu, since we are talking about this, I will give you a piece of advice. Well, last time I heard Sha Zhu say that your family was drinking with a few younger generations in the courtyard, and told them that they were always abused at home since they were young...

Once he has the ability to make money, he will stay away and never come back..."

Yan Bugui also nodded: "Your third child also said something similar to our third child..."

Liu Guangqi was the eldest son of the Liu family and the one who was beaten the least. Even so, he ran away later.

If the remaining two also ran away, Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai looked at each other and felt that the later years of Liu Haizhong and his wife would be worrying.

Liu Haizhong became furious upon hearing this. He had just been showing off his son-training skills in front of Yan Bugui.

But before he could finish his words, he was slapped in the face by the other party.

How can this be tolerated? ?

"No? How dare they say that? I'll beat them to death!!"

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and was about to roll up his sleeves to go home and punish his son, but Yi Zhonghai was quick to grab him.

"Old Liu, I'm not telling you to complain, nor am I asking you to beat your son. I'm trying to persuade you!

We brothers have lived in the same yard for nearly thirty years...Old Yan and I are telling you our true feelings.

You really need to change your temper! That’s not how you raise your child.”

Liu Haizhong snorted coldly: "These two are ungrateful wolves! They eat my food, drink my water, and you still want to run away?
Okay, let them run away! ! The farther away the better, I have my own Guangqi here, why should I be afraid of them? "

"Guangqi is a cadre in our family! He is also my most beloved child. From now on, my wife and I will rely on him for our retirement."

When talking about his beloved eldest son, a rare tenderness appeared in his eyes.

Although my son ran away before, he is back now and has corrected his mistakes. He is still his good son!
Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui looked at each other, and this time it was Yan Bugui who spoke: "Guangqi is good, but when it comes to elderly care, one more person always means more strength.

In short, you should change your temper in the future."

In fact, what he didn't say was that Liu Guangqi was able to run to his father-in-law for profit, and later ran back to Beijing for collective housing.

Who can guarantee that he will not run away to other places for greater benefits in the future?
But Liu Guangqi was Liu Hai's favorite son after all, so he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Otherwise, Mr. and Mrs. Liu will definitely turn against him!

The couple treated their son like the apple of their eye, even though there had been a rift between them because of Liu Guangqi's visit to his father-in-law's house.

But after he came back, the old couple still wouldn't tolerate anyone saying anything bad about him.

Yi Zhonghai obviously understood all this and gave Liu Haizhong a few more words of advice.

After Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui finished talking about their own troubles, they looked at Yi Zhonghai again.

"Lao Yi, there are many people in our two families. I understand that our house is not big enough for us to live in, so we need to buy a new one.

You have two rooms for three people in your family, why do you want to buy a collective housing?" They said in unison.

The current layout of the Yi family is that Yi Zhonghai and his wife live in the outer room, while Yi Weihong lives alone in the inner room.

When Yi Weihong gets married, the two rooms will not be enough for them to live in, and the two of them cannot understand Yi Zhonghai's thoughts.

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. Our Wei Hong is a girl, and my wife and I have loved her so much that she grew up...

It is said that parents who love their children will plan long-term for them. This child is doted on by both of us and has never had to do any formal activities.

If she gets married, my husband and I will be worried. So we discussed and decided to buy a house and find a son-in-law for her later..."

Nowadays, those who can become son-in-law are either from very poor families or the woman’s family is very well-off.

Although the two rooms in their house are large enough for living, they are not particularly good.

So he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to buy a big house to give his daughter more bargaining chips in finding a son-in-law.

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he sighed and said, "Old Yi, you are such a hypocritical person.

We are old brothers, why are you beating around the bush when talking to us?"

Why do you want to marry a son-in-law because you are afraid that your child will suffer?

In fact, he just wanted Yi Weihong and her future son-in-law to take care of her in her old age. In the final analysis, it was for his own sake, but he insisted on saying that it was for his daughter's good and that he was afraid that his daughter would be wronged in her husband's family.

"You are always like this. You say black is white and you say it's for others when it's your own business!" Although they have lived in the same courtyard for nearly thirty years, Liu Haizhong looks down on Yi Zhonghai and can't help but expose him.

Yi Zhonghai smiled awkwardly: "Well, both reasons. Anyway, we have discussed it and decided to buy a house while we have money and a quota."

In fact, in addition to these two most important reasons, there was another decisive factor in his purchase of a house, which was Zhang's ninth son...

That boy's relationship with Wei Hong from their family has been getting better and better in the past two years. To be honest, except for not sleeping together at night, they would like to stick together for 24 hours.

Those gossipy women in the courtyard always try to pair them up.

Yi Zhonghai looked down on the ninth son of the Zhang family, so he wanted to buy a house and separate from them.

He had inquired about it, and found out that the second and first phases of the collective housing were located to the east and west of the steel mill, respectively, and the distance between them was extremely far! !
For this, I have to buy this house!
Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong didn't know what he was thinking.

Yan Bugui took advantage of Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong not paying attention and secretly put two peanuts on the table into his pocket. Then he said slowly: "If you ask me, Old Yi, you bought this house unnecessarily. Didn't you see it? Your family's Wei Hong likes Zhang's Lao Jiu.

What kind of family is the Zhang family? Who is Zhang Shenfei? Who is Tang Danniu? Can she let her son marry into the family?"

"Of course not! Absolutely not! Who would dare to let her son marry into the family? Are you crazy?" Liu Haizhong interrupted.

"Yes, so you bought a house, but Wei Hong still married the ninth son of the Zhang family. Didn't you buy the house in vain?" Yan Bugui knocked on the table and concluded.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his voice became louder: "Who said our child is going to marry Zhang Ximei? We won't marry him!!!"

"What does the child like? How old is she? How can she know what she likes or doesn't like? It's you people who always involve the two of them together."

He knew that the most important thing for a girl was her reputation, but he still arranged a match between his daughter and Zhang Ximei!!!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Yi Zhonghai started to chase them away: "Go, go, go, all of you, leave now!!"

Damn it, it was a waste of time that he just tried to help these two people with their ideas, but what happened? They just wanted to annoy him! !

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were speechless when they saw that he suddenly turned against her.

You are already so old, why are you still so fickle?
But since the person has already asked to leave, they can’t just stay there shamelessly, right?
