Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

Those are two big houses. There are six people in their family, but there are only two rooms. It will definitely not be enough for Yan Jiecheng to live in after he gets married.

Yan Bugui's facial features were all twisted with distress.

"Okay, that's what happened. If you don't have anything else, go back."

After Deputy Director Wang finished his work, he took his men out of the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai also returned home and ignored his neighbors.

When Yan Bugui returned home, he sat on the chair with a heartbroken look on his face.

"Old Yan, what's wrong with you?"

"It's so sad. Two big houses, how much would they cost? If we had taken over the job of taking care of the deaf old lady, wouldn't the house be ours now?"

Yan Bugui said with great sorrow.

"Oh, that's it, my house."

The third aunt also cried sadly.

Sha Zhu had no objection to the deaf old lady giving the house to Yi Zhonghai, as he had no shortage of places to live.

When Qin Huairu returned home, she said to Jia Dongxu, "Dongxu, can you ask the old man to give us one of the two rooms?

With so many people at home, I can’t even sleep at night, let alone…”

When Qin Huairu said this, her face turned red and she felt a little shy.

Jia Dongxu also became interested. "Don't say anything. Just say it."

After the two of them exchanged a few words in private, Jia Dongxu hugged Qin Huairu and said, "This can't be done now. This house doesn't belong to my master yet. We have to wait until the deaf old lady dies."

Chapter 54: Start of work

Jiang Fan was a little surprised that the old deaf man gave the house to Yi Zhonghai, but not too surprised. He also understood the old deaf man's intention, that he always had to show his own value.

Time passed, and snow fell again in the city. Tomorrow is the day when the steel mill will start work.

In the morning, Jiang Erniu and Jiang Dalei came to the courtyard.

"Second Uncle, Brother Da Lei, you are here."

Jiang Yu was playing in the snow with others at the gate of the yard. When he saw his second uncle and Jiang Dalei coming in, he ran over happily.

"Xiaoyu, are you cold playing outside? Are you freezing?"

Jiang Erniu buttoned up Jiang Yu's clothes and touched her head.

"It's not cold, Uncle, look, I'm wearing very warm clothes."

Jiang Yu said as he turned in front of Jiang Erniu, "Second Uncle, let's go into the yard. My dad has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Hahaha, okay, let's go in."

Jiang Erniu let Jiang Yu pull his sleeve and drag him into the yard. Jiang Dalei followed behind with the package.

"Dad, Mom, Second Uncle and Big Brother Lei are here."

Jiang Daniu, who was in the house, heard his daughter's words and immediately came out to greet his younger brother and eldest nephew.

"Erniu, Dalei, you're finally here. Come on, come on, let's go inside. It's cold outside."

As Jiang Erniu and Jiang Dalei entered the house, Jiang Fan also came out with a thermos and made a pot of tea.

Everyone sat around the stove, holding cups of tea and talking.

After a round of greetings, Jiang Fan said, "Second Uncle, I'll take you to the steel mill tomorrow to complete Da Lei's employment procedures. Let him learn forging from my father first.

See if it's suitable. If not, I'll find a way to transfer you. I've already informed the factory manager."

"Don't talk about whether it's suitable or not. Just let him do the job slowly."

Uncle Jiang shook his head and thought that Jiang Dalei would be a good blacksmith.

Jiang Fan did not refute it. It all depends on the actual situation.

"After we finish the paperwork for Da Lei, we'll go to the scrap collection station. We probably won't be officially open tomorrow, and we still have to divide the house and do some repairs. We have to go to the street office for all of this."

After arranging tomorrow's affairs, Jiang Daniu took Jiang Erniu and Jiang Dalei to the bathhouse to freshen up.

At night, Jiang Erniu and his son slept in the ear room, while Jiang Ping'an and Jiang Fan slept together.

The next day.

The employees working at the steel mill in Siheyuan watched Jiang Erniu and his son come to the steel mill together with Jiang Daniu and his son.

"Erniu, you and Dalei just follow Fanzi. We'll go to the workshop first."

"Okay, big brother, you go ahead. With Fanzi here, you don't have to worry."

Jiang Fan brought his second uncle and Da Lei to the guard room. "Hello, comrade. I'm Jiang Fan. I'm looking for Section Chief Li Weiguo."

"Comrade Jiang, please wait a moment."

The security officer on duty made a phone call to inform Li Weiguo.

Soon, Li Weiguo arrived at the gate of the steel mill, "Brother Jiang, you're here."

"Brother Li, this is my second uncle, and this is my cousin Jiang Dalei. He's here to handle the employment formalities at our steel mill. I told you about this. Second uncle, Dalei, this is Section Chief Li Weiguo from the Security Department."

The two parties were introduced to each other.

"Since they are your family, Brother Jiang, they are ours. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me."

"Then I'll trouble Brother Li to take good care of me from now on."

Everyone knows that this is just a polite remark. No one would want to ask someone to do something for them just by opening their mouth.

"Come on, Brother Jiang, I'll take you to complete the employment procedures."

The procedures went smoothly and the houses were allocated, which were two of the four back houses at the gate of No. 95 courtyard.

After coming out of the steel mill, Jiang Fan and the other two went to the scrap collection station.

Jiang Fan politely declined Li Dajiang's offer to treat him to a meal and asked him to take care of his second uncle. Li Dajiang naturally agreed, and Wang Zhong and Yang Xiong also expressed their willingness to help.

The next step is to go to the street office to register and get a grain certificate.

……

After finishing all this, the street office sent a staff member named Zhou to accompany Jiang Fan and the others back to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, the third uncle Yan Bugui was guarding the door as usual, and a group of women and children were talking and playing at the door.

Secretary Zhou brought Jiang Fan to the two back houses and said, "Comrade Jiang, these two are the back houses you've been assigned. This is the inventory of items from when the doors were sealed.

We'll go in and take inventory later to see if there are any discrepancies."

After seeing that Jiang Fan and the others had no objections, Secretary Zhou unlocked the door.

The two back rooms are about 40 square meters in size. The furniture inside is quite complete, but a little worn, and the walls and other things need to be renovated.

"Secretary Zhou, the furniture and everything are correct, there's no problem. Thank you for your hard work."

"Nothing, it's all about serving the people."

Secretary Zhou took the cigarette from Jiang Fan with a smile and said, "Since there are no other problems, please sign here."

Jiang Fan asked Jiang Dalei to come over and sign without hesitation.

"Okay, if you need renovations, you can go find the renovation team at our street office. The team leader's surname is Gao, and you can trust them to do the work. You can also apply for any materials you need from the street office."

Secretary Zhou put away the signed note, looked at Jiang Fan, and asked as if he remembered something.

"Jiang Fan, is the steward of your compound here? There's a new resident here, and we need to notify him. Because you're from this compound, I almost overlooked this matter."

"Yes, the third uncle in our school is a teacher. He is not at work now, so he should be at the door." Jiang Fan just thought of this.

As soon as Jiang Fan walked out of the back room, he saw Yan Bugui. "Uncle, come here for a moment. Secretary Zhou from the Subdistrict Office wants to see you."

Ever since the last incident, Jiang Fan has never been nice to Yan Bugui. This is the first time he has called Yan Bugui "Uncle" since that incident.

Yan Bugui was called and came out.

"Secretary Zhou, I'm the third uncle, Yan Bugui, the manager of the courtyard."

"Comrade Yan, let me explain the situation. These two are Comrades Jiang Erniu and Jiang Dalei. They officially started working at the scrap collection station and the steel rolling mill today.

These two back-of-house rooms were allocated to them by the organization. From now on, they will be residents of Courtyard 95 and everyone's neighbors. I hope everyone can live in harmony and make greater contributions to our country."

After Secretary Zhou explained the situation, Yan Bugui was a little stunned, and the neighbors around him were also surprised.

Jiang Erniu and Jiang Dalei had just met a few days ago. At that time, he was still a farmer working in the fields, but now he has become a worker.

It's a dual-income family, so it's not an exaggeration to say that they have achieved success overnight. How can this not be surprising?

"Ah, okay, Secretary Zhou, I will definitely coordinate the relationship between the neighbors and integrate the two comrades into our big family as soon as possible."

Yan Bugui reacted and replied with a smile, "Comrade Jiang Erniu, Comrade Jiang Dalei, on behalf of the Siheyuan, I welcome you to stay."

Secretary Zhou walked away with two boxes of Daqianmen cigarettes in his pocket, feeling satisfied.

Chapter 55: Jia Zhang's Trouble

After Secretary Zhou left, Yan Bugui wanted to ask Jiang Fan how he got the job, but he knew the relationship between his family and Jiang Fan, so he held back and didn't open his mouth.

Instead, Jia Zhang popped her head out from the crowd and said, "Jiang family boy, your family has two more workers. Shouldn't you treat everyone to a meal to celebrate? What do you think?"

The unanimous response that Jia Zhang had imagined did not appear. The scene was a bit deserted and everyone looked at Jia Zhang as if she were a fool.

"Jia Zhang, what are you barking about?"

Jiang Fan looked at Jia Zhangshi. Even though they had been neighbors for several years, he still didn't understand Jia Zhangshi's unusual way of thinking.

"Brother Fan, do you want me to beat her up?"

Jiang Dalei whispered in Jiang Fan's ear.

"No need, you don't understand this old bitch's character, just leave it to me."

Jiang Fan knew very well that Jia Zhang was an old bastard who bullied the weak and feared the strong and would never repent.

When dealing with this kind of person, beating her up without being in the right will only make her feel good because you have to pay her compensation.

"Come on, Jia Zhang, get out here and tell me what the hell my second uncle's family has to do with you because they have two job openings. Why are you treating everyone to dinner again?"

Jiang Fan took a step forward, and the neighbors automatically stepped back, leaving Jia Zhang free.

"I...I, since your family has such a big happy event and there are new residents, you should set up two tables to invite all of us to have a meal, to make it lively."

Jia Zhang said shamelessly.

"Happy event? Your Jia Dongxu's marriage is a happy event, right? I'm embarrassed to talk about the feast back then!"

Your little one's birth, his full moon, which one isn't a happy event! Why don't you set up a few tables of wine in the yard to make it lively?

You old bitch! What Sister-in-law Chen said is right. Your parents died when you were young, and your husband died when you got married. In the future, who knows, even your sons and grandsons may die before you. You are a star of misfortune!

Now you have the nerve to throw a tantrum in front of my son! Jia Zhang, you have really made it!"

Shen Yue appeared behind Jia Zhang at some point and started scolding her, making her panic!

"you you you……"

Jia Zhang was trembling all over and pointing her finger at Shen Yue.

"What are you talking about! If you point again, I'll chop off your hand!

You eat and sleep at home every day, like a pig, with a mouth full of yellow teeth, and you stink ten miles away. Is your old Jia going to die because of your stink?

Shen Yue slapped Jia Zhang's hand away and walked over to Jiang Fan. "Son, you're a scholar. Don't argue with a shrew like that. It'll tarnish your reputation."

"I got it, Mom."

Jiang Fan nodded. Since his mother was here, it was not his turn to curse.

Jia Zhang's face turned red with anger, and wisps of white smoke came out of her head.

"Oh, Jia Zhang, you're so angry. Are you going to sit on the ground, slap your thigh, and call your family Old Jia?"
