Siheyuan: Laoliu's blessing to create the strongest life

[Host, please rename this system as soon as possible]

"You will be called Lao Liu from now on. Lao Liu is my favorite in our family, so I am transferring my affection for him to you now."

Li Jianxun said indignantly but seriously.

What the hell is the sixth child in our family? Li Jianxun has an older brother and a younger sister, so there are three of us in total. Where did the sixth child come from?

[The system is officially renamed Laoliu System]

"Well, Lao Liu, this is our first cooperation. In order to deepen our cooperative relationship and ensure that our relationship can develop continuously, stably, rapidly and efficiently in the future, do you think there can be some other rewards? Hehe."

[Except for the novice gift pack, this system will not give out other rewards for free. The host can get rewards by signing in at time and place in the future]

Chapter 4: Your Own -square-meter Courtyard

Li Jianxun shook his head speechlessly. What was this?

Ma Baoguo experience card, haha.

And there’s a small umbrella. I don’t even have a wife now, why do I need a small umbrella?

In this day and age, you can't do anything blatantly or you'll end up in trouble. If you mess up too much, even your own family won't be able to protect you.

But then again, what if it’s not blatant?

Li Jianxun's eyes gradually brightened, and then he slapped himself lightly again.

What kind of dirty thoughts are these?

Am I that kind of person?

"Lao Liu, think about it, I have been here for 7300 years. 240 years is days, which is months. How many times do I have to sign in?"

"Also, I've been to many places, including the Great People's Hall, Tianding Gate, and even the Great Hall Square in Beisu. Can you calculate how many times that is?"

"How about this, you let me slap you a hundred times, and we'll write off all our previous debts. How about that? A good deal, right?"

Li Jianxun spoke with great awe, and his calculations resounded throughout the world.

[This system starts from the date of activation, please be aware of this]

"Grass (a kind of plant), you are so cruel"

Li Jianxun was both angry and helpless and could only curse inwardly.

Ma Baoguo’s strength experience plus the lightning five-whip, whoever wants it can have it.

Little umbrella, whoever wants it can...

Um, you can leave this for now.

The more Li Jianxun thought about it, the angrier he became.

TNND, I got a system, but it seems like I didn’t get it. I got nothing except the time travel.

Look, this is a typical case of taking advantage of others.

Just then, a tiny voice came from the side.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li, what are you thinking about?"

Director Wang asked cautiously.

It turned out that Director Yang and Director Wang had been waiting for Li Jianxun to sign in. Seeing that he was unable to come back to his senses for a long time, they couldn't help but ask him.

"I'm sorry, Director Wang. I was a little distracted just now. I'm sorry to have wasted your time."

Li Jianxun reacted suddenly. They were still on the way to look at the house. Lao Liu was so angry for a moment.

"Well, Xiao Li, this is the middle courtyard. Go through this moon gate and you will reach the cross courtyard. Come in and take a look!"

Director Wang said this as if to take credit, and then he took the lead and walked in.

"Wow, it's so big?"

After seeing this, Director Yang felt a little resentful. If he had known that there was such a large independent yard here, he would have gotten it no matter what.

Li Jianxun was a little stunned when he came in. He still underestimated the "compromise" that Director Wang mentioned.

There are four large rooms together, with two side rooms on each side. On the right hand side of the door is the storage room, and the small courtyard in front of the house is estimated to be about 100 square meters.

There is a pavilion and a well in the middle of the yard.

The only drawback is that these houses are too dilapidated. The walls are peeling off and the yards are overgrown with weeds. It looks like no one has lived here for several years.

"Xiao Li, this house is the best I have. Do you think you like it? If not, I will think of another way."

Director Wang said.

Yang Changzi also took over the conversation:

"Yes, Xiao Li, if there is no problem, I will ask the department to apply for it. I should be able to apply for a building."

"This place is big, and there are many houses, but once you get it you still have to clean it up. It costs a lot of money to clean up such a large area, so it's not cost-effective."

Li Jianxun turned his head and asked Director Wang:

"Director Wang, I want this house, but there is one thing we need to clarify: is this house for me to live in temporarily or will it be transferred to my name?"

"Uh~"

Director Wang was a little hesitant at this time, for she was afraid of saying something wrong.

"Director Wang, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

"It's like this, Xiao Li. According to regulations, this house is rented to the workers of the steel mill. When they leave, the house must be returned."

"But there are always exceptions. The street office can apply to change the name to yours, but I don't know if it will be approved. This requires approval from the steel mill and the Ministry of Industry."

When Li Jianxun heard this, he looked at Director Yang with a smile.

Director Yang is also a smart man. Director Wang has said so much, he quickly said:

"Xiao Li, there's no problem on my end. I'll approve the document as soon as I receive it. As for the department, I can't get a say."

"Thank you, Director Yang."

Then, Li Jianxun said to Director Wang:

"Director Wang, you just need to apply. Director Yang has no problem with it, and the department will agree to it. I said so."

A little bit of pretense, exciting~

"Okay, I understand now. I'll apply right away when I get home. I'm sure the documents will be approved soon. Once they're approved, you can come directly to the street office to transfer the ownership, or you can just let me know and I'll have the clerk come over to do it."

"I also have the deed to the cross-courtyard property. I'll give it to you now so you don't have to make another trip later."

After saying that, Director Wang took out a piece of cowhide from his bag, which contained the deed to the cross-courtyard property.

"Thank you, Director Wang. Oh, there's one more thing. I want to push everything inside out and remodel it. Do you think that's ok?"

"This place is too run-down and messy. I won't renovate it. I'll just tear it down and rebuild it. It will just be the perfect place to get water, electricity, toilets, and everything else in place at once."

Li Jianxun expressed his idea. Although he could do it without telling them, after all, it was someone else's territory, so he had to respect them a little, especially since they chose such a large cross-campus one.

"That's no problem, just do it, and I'll ask the clerk to come and record it when you're done."

"It just so happens that I know a group of house builders, they are experienced craftsmen. People from all over the area who need help with house construction go to them. Their craftsmanship is impeccable and their wages are not expensive."

"That's great. I was thinking of finding someone from outside to do it, but it's a bit troublesome. Now that I have someone ready, I can worry less."

Li Jianxun thought to himself that it was not easy for anyone to become the top leader. He spoke and acted smoothly and fluently, and he had no choice but to nod his head at the one-stop service.

"Okay, the house deal is settled. I'll take you two out for dinner. Thank you so much for today."

"No, no, Xiao Li, I have some work to do at the factory and I have to hurry back. You can go back after you're done. We'll arrange the positions then. There's no rush, you go ahead and do your work first."

After saying this, Director Yang hurried out.

Chapter 5 Expectations from the Old Man

"Xiao Li, I have some things to do here, so I can't leave. You just stay here and rest assured. I will ask Master Lei, who is building the house, to come and take a look this afternoon. You tell him how to plan it, and he will take care of the rest. He knows everything about building houses."

"If you have any problems in the future, please come to the street office to find me. I'm usually there. Okay, I'm leaving now."

When Director Wang saw Director Yang leaving, she rolled her eyes and found an excuse to leave as well.

Although Li Jianxun's favor is not big,

You have to keep it well, as you will need it in critical situations in the future. If it is exchanged for a meal, I will want to die.

"Well, there's no one left to escape this time."

Li Jianxun naturally could not have imagined that Director Yang and Director Wang had such a little idea in mind.

Then he walked around the yard and looked around, and became more and more satisfied.

Nonsense, who are you making unhappy?

In this day and age, it is good enough for a family to have one house to live in, and having two rooms is considered very good.

How many people in Sijiucheng are still sleeping under tents? This is Sijiucheng, not to mention places outside Sijiucheng.

Another point is that most of the houses in the yard were temporarily allocated to workers by the steel rolling mill. They will be taken back if the workers die or are transferred.

Li Jianxun's cross-courtyard property is not like that. The household name and title deeds are all with him. From now on, this will be his private property.

As far as he knew, in the entire courtyard, apart from himself, only the houses of He Yuzhu's family and the deaf old lady's family belonged to him. The houses of the other families were allocated according to the quota of workers.

It’s still early and the construction master hasn’t arrived yet, so I’ll go have a meal first and draw a plan to facilitate the construction master’s renovation.

There are only a few restaurants in the city that he likes, including Quanjude, Donglaishun, Peace Hotel, Hongbinlou, Tianfuhao, and Liuquanju.

Well, let’s just keep it simple and go to Tianfuhao to eat some braised pork elbow!

Li Jianxun has money and tickets, so he naturally won't be left without a mouth to feed.

Especially in the past three years I have been away and rarely went home, I miss this dish so much.

Tianfuhao’s braised pork elbow has a rich sauce flavor, is fat but not greasy, and lean but not dry. It was once a tribute dish to the Qing court.

Just go, get on the jeep and set off.

After arriving at the Tianfu, Li Jianxun summoned Lao Liu immediately.

"Old Six, can I sign in on the Tianfu?"

[Ding, this is not an important landmark, unable to sign in]

"Kneel down and be at peace"

After dinner, Li Jianxun planned to find a state-owned hotel to stay in first.

I'll arrange the house matters in the next two days, and then report to the steel mill.

After arriving at the hotel entrance, Li Jianxun still did not give up.

"Sixth Brother, can I sign in at the State-Owned Hotel?"

[Ding, this is not an important landmark, unable to sign in]

"Okay, you old man, I'll treat you like a ruthless person."

Li Jianxun got out of the car angrily, and the door slammed loudly.

The accompanying driver Zhao Zhongquan was confused as he watched Li Jianxun's joy turn into anger.

But he didn't ask anything and got out of the car.

Zhao Zhongquan is 41 years old this year. He is proficient in Bajiquan and Chuojiao, and is a master of hidden power. He can beat eight or ten people as if it were a piece of cake.

During the fight against the Japanese devils, he achieved a brilliant record by defeating 27 Japanese soldiers in a row by himself and only stopped because of excessive physical exhaustion.

He was one of the old man's guards back then. He followed the old man in battles and once blocked a bullet for the old man. He was the old man's lifesaver, so Li Jianxun's whole family respected him very much.

Later, when the whole country was liberated, there was no one left in Zhao Zhongquan's hometown and he had nowhere to go, so the old man kept him by his side.

During this period, the old man also asked him to be Li Jianxun's martial arts teacher for a while, and he had a very good relationship with Li Jianxun.

"Uncle Quan, go back now. Don't come if I don't call you. Tell Grandpa and my mom when you get home that I'm fine and don't need to worry. I'll go back to see them when I have time."

Li Jianxun said to Zhao Zhongquan.

"Okay then. If you need anything, please contact me. I'll be there whenever you need me. And here's this bag. Grandpa Shou told me to give it to you before he left. This is what your mother and Grandpa prepared for you."
