Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Chapter 1096 Selfishness and Justice

He Yuzhu bought a small half of the house allocated by the toy factory this year.

He was thinking of building small-sized commercial housing like those in later generations, but it was not very realistic as the construction cost was much higher than that of a tube-shaped building.

He Yuzhu didn't want to make it too special, so he could only follow the tube-shaped building layout.

The land acquired this time is not large, so it can only build four or five rooms side by side, plus a staircase on one side.

However, the depth is acceptable, as He Yuzhu built two rows of four-story buildings.

The room is nearly 40 square meters, which is equivalent to one and a half rooms. There is a small balcony of two or three square meters protruding from the window.

This is rarely seen in other factories' staff quarters.

In other factories, a single room in a tube-shaped building of 30 square meters is considered large.

These days, housing supply in Beijing is becoming increasingly tight.

Ordinary people don’t want to live in a big house unless it is passed down from their ancestors.

He Yuzhu naturally had an explanation. According to He Yuzhu, their houses were sandwiched on both sides by the tube-shaped buildings of other factories.

So the lighting is a little worse, so the area can only be larger. Otherwise, the people who live in it will lose out.

In fact, this is nonsense. When He Yuzhu asked the construction team to arrange the foundation, he had already considered the lighting issue.

The front row is not affected, but the bottom layer of the back row may see the sun an hour later than other places in autumn and winter.

There is definitely some impact, but it is not as exaggerated as He Yuzhu said.

He Yuzhu knew that there were people who were still thinking about getting a share of the house.

Or they are young people who have just started working, got married and had children, and are thinking about becoming independent.

Or they are like Lao Lai's family, where the couple's life is stable and they want to bring their elderly parents to live with them. Or they have already brought their elderly parents to live with them, and three generations of grandparents and grandchildren live in a 20-square-meter house, which is very crowded.

So a bigger house can really solve a lot of problems.

He Yuzhu also doesn't know how to say nice things. He can't say the kind of sentimental words like "Because I've been caught in the rain, I want to hold an umbrella for others."
But the idea is similar.

Because He Yuzhu knew that in the next 20 to 30 years, this tube-shaped building might be the last collective benefit that this group of workers would receive.

Around the time of the reform and opening up, young people like Lai Wu became adults. Regardless of whether they were arranged to work or found their own way, the living environment at that time became even more tense.

Just like what was performed by a crosstalk actor named Feng in later generations, in order to have a place to live, he built a big tree in the yard into the house. It was not a joke.

Having a house like that is really a happy thing.

He Yuzhu would feel more comfortable if he could let them live better.

If we really need to add more people, there will be more space for them to move around.

Just like a piece of exposed windowsill, when He Yuzhu first had the idea, he held several Zhuge meetings.

We invited many experienced builders to discuss how to add a distance of one meter out of thin air.

In the future, it will be possible to cast the entire structure with concrete and steel bars.

But now most of them still support the horizontal beams and vertical columns, build walls with red bricks and cement, and layer prefabricated panels.

Later, in order to live there for a long time, a row of "convex" shaped buildings were built.

The area doesn't look large, but if it extends out more than one meter, the room needs to be three meters wide, which means there are three extra square meters, enough to space out a single bed.

He Yuzhu said it was for the convenience of drying things, but once people move in, what they want to do with it is their own business.

He Yuzhu tried his best to work on these little things.

Fortunately, now it is all collective, and the opinions of the unit are the main focus.

So it was a minor violation, but the street turned a blind eye.

As for anti-theft and so on, there is no such problem now. Basically, every household has elderly people and women at home. And after what happened in the past two years, young people basically don't have time to wander around the streets.

Either they were sent to the factory, or they were sent down, or they were sent to prison like the gang leader. As for what happened after the reform and opening up, He Yuzhu had no control over it.

After all, we just take it one step at a time.

Although the houses built by He Yuzhu were ridiculed as petty on the street, He Yuzhu was also called a rag picker.

But the toy factory workers did benefit greatly.

Some workers from other factories laughed at the toy factory workers and called them fools, saying that they would never want such a house.

The toy factory workers did not argue or quarrel, but smiled and said, "There is nothing we can do. This is the kind of housing the factory has arranged."

Looking back, I always curse softly: "Stupid＊".

This is not an isolated case, but the workers who have been allocated housing in the past two years have all dealt with the outside world in this way.

After all, they are the ones who benefit.

No matter others laugh or envy them, they are just living their own lives.

So you can imagine what kind of feelings the toy factory workers have towards He Yuzhu.

It’s Yang Ruihua. She just talked about this with the other young wife and she was also very envious.

In other words, his previous words offended Yi Zhonghai, so he wanted to step on the toy factory and take back his words.

People like Yang Ruihua had already secretly visited the house there with an acquaintance who worked in the toy factory.

To be honest, Yang Ruihua has already planned how to partition the houses and how to accommodate the family.

The family here does not refer to the Yan family, but the family that received the house.

What's more, although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs.

For example, the houses delivered by the toy factory this year actually have collective heating.

This is something that other tube-shaped buildings cannot compare to.

This is not entirely due to He Yuzhu's efforts, it can only be attributed to technological development.

It is essentially boiler heating, but it is smaller in size.

He Yuzhu initially arranged to connect the heating pipes when the house was built, because he knew that the city would one day have collective heating.

He didn't remember the exact time, after all, there was no such thing in the Siheyuan in his previous life.

At that time, if we need to lay more pipelines and spend more money, it will be a matter of arguing whether the factory pays for it or individuals pay for it.

It would be better to lay the pipes directly while the factory has sufficient funds. When the whole city has collective heating, it will only require a change at the main valve.

After the project was completed, the residents became interested in the traditional heating system and were willing to share the cost of burning coal and take turns to take care of the stove. The factory only needed to send someone to conduct a safety inspection regularly.

This is also because the toy factory’s income is indeed high and they don’t care about this little money.

No problem, just do it!
Anyway, He Yuzhu doesn't have to pay for it. It's the factory's money, so it's a waste if not used.

He Yuzhu has done nothing wrong in this matter, and he has made enough contributions.

It was the profit that the factory deserved, and he felt good about spending it on the workers.

This thing has its own comparison. For example, the steel mill now has a large slush fund, so there is more eating and drinking.

However, He Yuzhu is very strict in this regard at the toy factory.

He Yuzhu may not be an enterprising leader, but those who follow him will at least have enough food and clothing.

In this day and age, as long as you can have enough food and clothing, you are doing really well.
