The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 98 It’s Not Him After All

It was nearly ten o'clock when I returned to the courtyard. The gate was already closed tightly. I had no choice but to knock on the door to wake up Yan Laokou. Although he was reluctant, who asked you to take this job? Otherwise, who would be willing to let you take advantage of him?

I had a good dream last night. She and I were in the dream. Liu Hua got up early in the morning and secretly scrubbed his underpants. It is understandable that young people have a hot temper, but Xu Damao may not have this worry.

After a happy day of slacking off at the factory, Sister Zhang asked Liu Hua out of curiosity, "Hua Zi, you are different today than the day before yesterday. Although you were both idle, you are smiling today, and your smile is very charming."

"Rippling, this adjective is not very good." Liu Hua said with a smile: "Sister Zhang, I recommend you a few books to read, which can greatly improve your literary accomplishment."

"Don't interrupt." Sister Zhang patted Liu Hua on the back and said, "You must be up to something. Tell the truth."

As soon as Ma Yushan entered the office, he heard Sister Zhang joking, so he also joined in: "Hua Zi, what bad things have you done to make Xiao Zhang angry? Tell us quickly. We will help you with the attitude of correcting your mistakes and learning from them."

"Nothing." Liu Hua opened his arms and shrugged his shoulders: "I'm just happy. Going to work makes me happy, and building the motherland makes me happy."

Ma Yushan chuckled, "I know what you are doing when you stick your butt out. I am very familiar with your smile. Our eldest son is in a relationship recently. Every time he goes out with his girlfriend and walks on the road, he comes back with this look."

Sister Zhang clapped her hands and said, "Oh, someone is about to get married. Tell me quickly, which family is this girl from? Is she pretty? Where does she work?"

Ma Yushan was an experienced person after all, so he shook his head and said, "Xiao Zhang, don't ask. Young people are shy, and he will tell you after a while."

"Chief, how can you be sure that he will say it himself?"

Ma Yushan smiled and said, "Happiness, this feeling of happiness enriches the whole person. He wants to share it with others, he wants everyone to feel his happiness, so when the time comes, he will take the initiative to talk to you about how good his partner is."

When Sister Zhang thought about her own love life, it seemed to be true. She was secretive at first and didn’t tell anyone. After a while, she would share it with her best friends, and then she would confess to her parents. After receiving the blessings of her family, everything fell into place.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore, but what's the matter? You have to get me two candies to taste, to show your happiness."

Liu Hua nodded: "No problem, I'll bring some candy tomorrow, White Rabbit milk candy, to sweeten Sister Zhang's mouth."

"Master, you see, I'm at an age where men should get married and women should get married."

Ma Yushan said impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just fart quickly. Don't play dumb with me."

"Aren't you going to clean up the house?" Liu Hua said with a smile, "I'm going to leave early today and go to the street office to handle some paperwork and find a good master."

Ma Yushan nodded: "It's just a small matter, it's not worth you to go around in circles. Now you are late and leave early, let me see if I will record it for you. Even if you are absent from work for three days, Li Huaide will take the initiative to find an excuse for you."

Liu Hua rode his bike past the factory gate. Usually, the security department would come and question him if he was late or left early. But when Liu Hua passed by, the guard at the gate greeted him directly.

"Mr. Liu, why are you leaving so early today?"

"I have something to do, so I have to leave work early."

"Do you need help? If you need help, just let me know. We don't have many other things in the security department, but we have a lot of strong laborers."

"It's okay, just a small matter."

"Then drive slowly and be careful."

It is said that there is an unfathomable veteran guarding the gate of every Jiaodaokou Street Office. Liu Hua was stopped as soon as he arrived at the gate on his bicycle.

"Pushing a cart into the yard, don't you know this basic rule?" Liu Hua took a look. The image of this old man was very consistent with his impression of a veteran in the team, with vigilant eyes, a strong body, and meticulous clothes with the discipline buttons fastened neatly.

"I know, sir. You jumped out and scared me. I was just about to step on the brake, right?"

The old man asked, "What are you doing at the street office?"

Liu Hua smiled and said, "Uncle, I am already an adult and I am planning to get married soon. I have to find a wedding house before I get married. Don't I have to go to the street office to apply for it?"

The old man nodded and said, "Okay, go in."

There are only a few people in the street offices now. It’s not that grassroots work is not taken seriously. On the contrary, grassroots work is the top priority now.

There are few grass-roots staff, mainly because the finances cannot afford it. Another reason is that there are not many highly educated and high-quality talents, so good resources must be used where they are needed most.

Like in the previous life, there was a craze for taking the civil service exam, and the position of clerk in the street office was also a popular position with a stable job.

The current street office is a small courtyard. After entering, there are signs hanging in each room. Liu Hua found the office of the street office director and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

"Auntie Wang." Liu Hua pushed the door open and walked in: "She is busy seeking happiness for tens of thousands of people in Jiaodaokou."

Director Wang saw Liu Hua, put down his pen, smiled and said, "Hua Zi, how come you have time to come to me today? Are those old people in your hospital causing trouble again?"

"No." Liu Hua shook his head: "Those people are very honest now. Although I feel that Yi Zhonghai's honesty is not that simple, we can't just accuse others based on speculation."

"Then what are you doing?"

Liu Hua smiled and said, "I want to make a request to you. I want to renovate the house, connect tap water to every household, and dig a sewer pipe directly to the toilet outside."

"Small things."

Director Wang began to look through the table, searching for the relevant documents while smiling and saying, "Why did you think of decorating? Are you planning to get married? I was just saying a few days ago that you are old enough and I should introduce you to someone."

"My mother's work has already been done before yours."

Director Wang said cheerfully, "You are worthy of being the deputy director of the District Women's Federation. But I heard that your mother seems to be transferred to the district government."

"Then I don't know. Even a skilled worker like me can't ask about leadership matters."

Even if you know about this, you have to say you don't know. Until there is document confirmation, you can't show off outside, otherwise you will definitely be letting your parents down.

Watching Director Wang writing the permission documents, Liu Hua asked, "Auntie Wang, do you have anyone suitable to help with this house renovation? I'm totally clueless, so you'll need more help."

"We have a renovation team in our subdistrict office, and they are all experts." Director Wang said without even looking up, "Several masters in our renovation team have participated in the renovation of the Great Hall."

Finally, the style is not bad. Out of ten courtyard houses, eight of the craftsmen have bad styles.
