Chapter 66 Understand people!
  Seeing that Zhang Chenfei was busy, everyone in the courtyard stopped asking questions and just talked among themselves.

"Three cars of furniture, only 40 yuan? What a bargain!!!"

"When I save enough money, I'll buy one too."

"I want to buy it too. We can no longer use the furniture we have now."

"Didn't you hear what Da Fei said? He can buy cheap goods because he has Wang Mantang's reputation!! Can you ask Wang Mantang to help?"

"My friend who sells it mainly because it is second-hand goods. If I had money, I would definitely buy Western-style furniture. This is so outdated!!!"

Zhang Chenfei had no idea what the discussion in the courtyard was about next.

While helping the workers carry furniture, he entered his newly renovated house.

These two houses have all been completed and no longer look like they were dilapidated before.

The two large rooms are all white, with raised ceilings and new gold bricks.

The previous wooden lattice windows were replaced with transparent glass windows, which were also enlarged, making the room extra bright.

In this era, there was no such thing as a "shared house". The nominal size of a house was 38 square meters, but the actual house was also 38 square meters.

The house is divided into two rooms. Grandma Zhang's room is twelve square meters, and Zhang Chenfei's room and living room is twenty-three square meters.

The other bathroom is about five square meters, and the kitchen is built outside the house, so it does not occupy the house area.

Zhang Chenfei directed Wang Mantang's apprentices to move furniture and put the double-door wardrobe, large boxes, and small Kang table in the old lady's room.

The four-door wardrobe, the Eight Immortals table, and the desk are all placed in my room.

His house was very large after being remodeled, with the front being used as a living room and the back as a bedroom, separated by a screen.

Once the furniture came into the house, Zhang Chenfei's house decoration came to an end. Just waiting to pick the right day and move in.

In this era, you can’t move at any time, so you have to choose an auspicious day.

The procedures include making offerings to the Stove Lord, setting off firecrackers, scattering grains, posting pairs, and warming the house.

The greenhouse is to invite neighbors to come over and gather together. It means that we will be neighbors from now on. Please take care of us.

Of course, the neighbors will not come empty-handed, but will give some practical small gifts.

Wang Mantang told Zhang Chenfei that Lao Xiao had already given him a date to move, and he chose December 25th in the Gregorian calendar, the ninth day of winter in the lunar calendar.

"This day happens to be Wednesday. I will help you when I get off work from the ancient construction team." He said.

"Then let me thank you first." Zhang Chenfei said and paid Wang Mantang's bill again.

After finishing his own affairs, Uncle Wang can go to the ancient construction team to report.

Zhang Chenfei saw off Wang Mantang and his apprentices and turned back home, where he saw his sister-in-law Tang Danniu and his grandma carrying two basins of water and wiping the new furniture.

Zhang Chenfei came up to the old lady and said politely: "Old lady, how is this house? Have you ever lived in such a nice house before?"

"Okay, okay. That's not bad!!" Grandma Zhang smiled with wrinkles on her face, "I didn't expect that even though I'm old, I would still enjoy the blessing of a grandson."

Tang Danniu also laughed at the side: "Isn't that good? Grandma, you just didn't see the way the deaf old lady looked at you. Her eyes were so jealous that they were red."

Grandma Zhang said that it was not so exaggerated, but she confirmed to Zhang Chenfei: "Are you sure that this house can fall into our own hands in the future?"

From the time her grandson first rented the house and renovated it, she felt that it was not worth the effort. After all, this house is rented, not my own.

But the grandson said that when she was renting the house, Tian Xiaozao said that the house would be bought and sold soon, so she said nothing.

But now, sitting in this house with bright windows and a lot of money spent, the old lady can't help but feel uneasy, fearing that her grandson's money will be wasted.

After all, Tian Xiaozao is just a street activist and not from the government. Will what she says be useful?

Zhang Chenfei opened his mouth, and was about to say a few words to comfort the old lady, when he heard a sound as clear as a mountain spring coming from outside the door. “Old lady, you don’t believe me?”

The three Zhang family members turned around and saw Tian Xiaozao, wearing a brand new goose egg green cotton-padded jacket, standing at the door of their new home.

Tang Danniu was quick to speak and immediately said: "Hey, look, I know that the furniture is back, and I came to see if it suits me!"

In a word, the shy Tian Xiaozao's face turned redder than the sunset.

"Sister-in-law, why do you always talk nonsense!!" As he said this, he stretched out his hand to twist Tang Danniu's waist.

"Yeah, your severed palm is like a vise, it hurts like hell."

"It just makes you hurt and makes you talk nonsense!!"

The two immediately started fighting together.

Grandma Zhang glanced at her grandson and saw that he was silent, so she became silent herself.

When Tian Xiaozao calmed down, the old lady took her hand and sat on the kang and asked her about the house.

Tian Xiaozao told the old lady that under the recently issued trial policy, public housing can be bought out.

The old lady couldn't keep up with the situation and wondered: "Didn't I say before that the house belongs to the public and is only rented to everyone? How can I buy it again? Also, what does trial mean?"

The courtyard they lived in was the house of a high official during the Qing Dynasty. Later, during the turbulent times of the general, the house changed hands several times.

Later, the last owner started renting it out, and about ten families lived in it.

After liberation, the original landlord ran away, and the courtyard became public housing. The government began to manage it and lowered the rent for them.

Although she has lived there for so many years, in the old lady's mind, this house is not hers. Why is she allowed to buy it now?
  Tian Xiaozao couldn't tell her clearly, so he told her that the government was promoting the privatization of public housing, and Sijiu City was a trial site.

Grandma Zhang thought for a long time: "Zao'er, do you think this house can be bought?"

Tian Xiaozao nodded: "I can buy it!!!"

The old lady looked at Zhang Chenfei again: "What do you think?"

Zhang Chenfei curled his lips and smiled: "It's so new. If you don't buy it, I'll spend a lot of money to decorate it? Are you going to replace the beams? Am I stupid?"

"Then buy it." The old lady slapped her thigh.

Zhang Chenfei also slapped his thigh: "Buy!!"

Tang Danniu secretly pulled Tian Xiaozao from the side: "Zaoer, can we also buy the two back rooms in the backyard?"

Tian Xiaozao nodded: "I can buy them all, sister-in-law, do you want to buy them too?"

Tang Danniu rolled her eyes: "I have to discuss this with your brother Liangzi tonight."

The two rooms they rent now cost four yuan a month, and it would cost a lot to buy them.

What their family lacks most is money, and this matter must be treated with caution.
  He had to go to work in the afternoon, so Zhang Chenfei chatted with the old lady and the others for a few words before getting ready to go out.

When Tian Xiaozao saw that he was leaving, he said that he was going to Dongzhimen to do something on his way, so he wanted to go with him.

Tang Danniu kept calling from behind: "Didn't I tell Tian Xiaozao to clean the house for you and you ran away?"

"Oh, sister-in-law, you are annoying!!" Tian Xiaozao covered his face and ran away.

Tang Danniu was laughing like a duck quacking behind her.

When he turned his head, he saw the old lady looking at him with a serious face.

Tang Danniu was puzzled: "Old lady, what do you see me for? I have flowers on my face?"

 Thanks to "Youyou"'s adoptive father for the one thousand starting point coin reward, take a bow! !
