1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 980 Preparing to Repair the Courtyard
Hearing this, the man understood perfectly: "Brother Fu, you're not just asking me to do something, you're clearly taking care of my job. Don't worry, I'll make sure it's done perfectly and your wife is satisfied."

Fu Yancheng gave the address of the courtyard: "When do you have time? I'll take you there to see it, and we can finalize the details. You can make the arrangements as you see fit."

The man stood up with a smile: "Why bother picking a time? Anyway, it's not that far away, let's go take a look now."

Since they were all his brothers, Fu Yancheng wasn't embarrassed at all: "Okay, then tell your sister-in-law not to prepare your breakfast. We'll have breakfast together after we finish looking at the house."

The man didn't hesitate: "Okay."

He hurriedly went inside, said a few words to his wife who was getting up, grabbed his coat, put it on, and went out: "Brother Fu, let's go."

Fu Yancheng and Zhang Meng became friends after a fight. Back then, they were young and hot-blooded and got into a brawl. One of the boys with Fu Yancheng was about to hit someone with a brick. If Fu Yancheng hadn't been quick to stop him, the brawl might have gone out of control.

The person I saved was Zhang Meng.

Later, Zhang Meng got into trouble again, and his grandfather chased after him and beat him. It was Fu Yancheng, who happened to be passing by, who told him a white lie, which calmed Zhang Meng's grandfather down. From then on, the relationship between the two gradually improved.

Zhang Meng didn't have a proper job, so Fu Yancheng used his connections to find him a carpenter to mentor him. Unexpectedly, this kid was probably born for this job, and he became quite famous in just a few years.

Later, through his master's introduction, he met a house repair team. This guy actually managed to sneak into the team as a laborer, and after a few years, he became a semi-expert.

After May Day last year, I formed a construction team and affiliated it with the local street office to start taking on jobs.

And you know what? He might just be born for this line of work. It didn't take long for his reputation to spread, and now the neighbors all come to him for house repairs or furniture making.

Fu Yancheng had previously discussed the renovation of the courtyard with Chu Xue, so the two kept talking on the way: "We're here, this is the courtyard." He took the key and opened the door: "Come in."

After looking around, Zhang Meng said, "This house is in pretty good condition; there aren't many places that need repair."

Fu Yancheng nodded and said, "The main thing is to pave the floor in the house with cement, and to convert the storage room into a bathroom. Also, please check the roof and replace all the broken tiles."

Remembering what Chu Xue had said before: "By the way, have you ever modified the kitchen stove? My wife wants a honeycomb briquette stove."

Zhang Meng laughed: "I've done this job before, don't worry, I'll make sure you and your sister-in-law are satisfied."

Fu Yancheng then shared some of his thoughts: "I'll leave the key to you."

As he spoke, he pulled out a wad of cash from his shirt pocket: "Take this money too, use it to buy materials. If you need more, just let me know."

Zhang Meng wanted to say no, but then he realized that if he said that, Brother Fu would definitely disagree and might even find someone else to take the job.

Anyway, I can decide what to do, and I can charge according to cost if necessary: ​​"Okay, I'll take it. I'll start preparing materials after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and do everything I can first. I'll do other things when it gets warmer in April."

After discussing it, the two locked the door and went to the state-run restaurant.

After breakfast was served, Zhang Meng was surprised by how fast Fu Yancheng ate: "Brother Fu, no one's going to take it from you, slow down."
