Siheyuan: Laoliu's blessing to create the strongest life

Forget it, you look like this already. What kind of mutation would my daughter’s genes have to undergo to look like what you said?

The risk factor is too high to take.

Li Jianxun politely declined and pushed his bicycle downstairs quickly.

"Comrade, do you think I can do this?"

Just when the salesperson was disappointed, a voice suddenly interrupted her from the side. She looked in the direction of the voice out of curiosity.

What came into view was an ugly, skinny young man with pockmarks on his face and buck teeth, his small eyes almost narrowed into a slit.

If you look at this at night when your vision is poor, you'd think the tree branch has become a spirit.

"Don't force me to do it, get out of here"

The salesman instantly became furious and raised his strong arms, "I will beat this tree branch, no, this ugly and skinny guy to death if he dares to say another word."

The ugly, skinny young man was so frightened by the powerful momentum that his hair stood on end. After leaving behind a few drops of liquid with a strong smell, he ran away.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the onlookers dispersed in a hurry for fear of being splashed with blood.

"You bastard, your waist isn't even as thick as my arm and you want to date my daughter, you're so beautiful"

The salesperson chased after him and cursed him angrily.

Maybe he felt that this sentence was not very friendly to her, so he stopped scolding.

Just as she was about to go back to her workstation to pack up and go home, she suddenly smelled a strange odor.

"Hey, what does this smell like?"

She walked towards the source of the smell, and when she saw the small pool of liquid on the ground, her eyes instantly widened and she jumped three feet high in anger.

"You're blind, you're peeing on my territory, you bastard."

"I'll remember you. If you dare to come over here again, I'll beat you to pieces."

.........

.........

One voice is heard after another, each one more unpleasant than the last.

Li Jianxun naturally had no idea what was happening behind him. He hurried to the Public Security Bureau to register and then went to the courtyard.

Along the way, Li Jianxun pedaled very fast, attracting a lot of attention.

Especially some young women, seeing Li Jianxun wearing a Zhongshan suit and riding a bicycle, they couldn't wait to go up and ask for his contact information.

After all, the Zhongshan suit was the "cadre uniform" in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the rigidly designed Zhongshan suit, when worn by the handsome Li Jianxun, highlighted his scholarly spirit.

The combination of these two strong contrasts makes these young women unable to stop.

What's more, there is an added bonus, a brand new Phoenix bicycle.

If someone is envious, then there will be someone jealous.

"Why are you pretending? I'll buy one when I have money."

"Tsk, what's so great about that? Be careful not to hit a telephone pole when riding that fast."

"It would be great if I could sit on the back of the bicycle and put my arms around his waist."

"Xiaoxue, stop looking. When we get married, I will take you for a bike ride."

"Comrade Wang Wei, I feel like we're not suitable for each other. Let's end our blind date here."

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, come back first, we can talk about anything, Xiaoxue, ah~"

A blind date was forcibly separated because Li Jianxun passed by.

Rich people finally get married

The poor witnessed...

When Li Jianxun rode to the Public Security Bureau, it was not yet time to get off work.

He paid the 1.5 yuan license fee and the annual tax of 2.4 yuan as instructed, and after the car was stamped, he rode back to the courtyard.

He was exhausted after riding this lap.

This reminded him of the feeling of riding in a small jeep.

"No, it's not good to ride a bicycle all the time. I have to get a motorcycle to ride. Otherwise, when I find a beautiful wife in the future, I won't have the energy to ride my bicycle home. I can't let my wife suffer."

Li Jianxun swore secretly in his heart.

Sedans and jeeps are too high-profile; they are cars only for middle and senior leaders.

Although motorcycles are a bit high-profile, there is no other way if you want to travel more comfortably and with less effort.

During this era, the first batch of domestically produced motorcycles, the Changjiang brand motorcycles, had already rolled off the production line, but only very few were circulating on the market.

It doesn’t matter if there is little circulation, as long as it circulates, you can get it.

Think about it, who are you messing with?

At this time, in the military compound, Wang Chenglong, the grandson of the Wang family, was showing off his newly bought Changjiang brand motorcycle.

Suddenly, he sneezed twice in succession.

Wang Chenglong rubbed his nose and had a bad feeling in his mind.

Then, he suddenly thought of something bad.

"Oh no! I heard that Li Jianxun has returned to China recently. I was careless and bought it too early. I will suffer a loss."

Thinking of this, Wang Chenglong quickly asked the young man next to him:

"I heard that Li Jianxun is coming back soon. Do you know when he will come back? I can go out and hide."

Well, this leaves such a huge shadow.

When the young man next to him heard this, he instantly laughed out loud, with his teeth showing and shining.

"Jackie Chan, Li Jianxun came back a long time ago, but he left again. It seems that he went to work as an engineer in a steel mill. Otherwise, would I dare to stand here openly and listen to your bragging?"

"He's going to be an engineer at a steel mill? What does Mr. Li think?"

Wang Chenglong was both surprised and happy, but his joy was obviously greater than his surprise.

"Okay, Jackie Chan, don't worry about what Mr. Li thinks. His family is just like bandits. When has they ever suffered any loss? Okay, let's not talk about the unhappy things in the past. You got a new car today, so we brothers will celebrate for you. Take us to Quanjude for a meal."

"That's not right. You celebrate for me and I have to treat you to a meal?"

"We are brothers. No matter who invites us, it is not an invitation. No matter who eats, it is not food. No matter whose wife is, she is my wife. Let's go."

.........

When Li Jianxun rushed to the courtyard, he clearly saw three people waiting for him.

"Master, you were introduced by Director Wang to build my house, right?"

After Li Jianxun got out of the car and parked it, he walked over and asked.

The repairman was slightly surprised when he saw a young man coming towards him and asking questions.

Before he came, he heard from Director Wang that the 300-square-meter courtyard in Nanluoguxiang had been allocated and became a private residence.

When he got the news, he was a little shocked. Such a large place had become one person's private residence. The previous deputy director of the steel mill wanted to do it but failed. How powerful must this person be?

Not to mention that before leaving, Director Wang repeatedly reminded us that the attitude must be good, the service must be good, and the construction must be good.

In a word, it can be summed up in one sentence: you must make the other party satisfied.

Chapter 13: Planning a House and Building Redwood Furniture

The repairman thought that this must be a leader in his 40s or 50s, but it turned out to be a handsome guy in his twenties.

"Hello, hello. I was introduced by Director Wang. My last name is Lei. If you don't mind, you can just call me Lao Lei."

The leader stepped forward quickly and said.

"Style Ray?"

Li Jianxun asked curiously.

The surname Lei has first-rate house building skills.

Master Lei's mouth curled up slightly, and he was still proud inside.

Yangshi Lei was a member of the Lei family who presided over the construction of royal buildings in the Qing Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty fell, they also declined.

But even though it has declined, it is still very famous in the city.

You may still not be able to understand it intuitively after hearing this. If I talk about some of their family’s representative architectural works, you will understand the glorious status that Yangshi Lei once had.

The Forbidden City in Beijing, the Old Summer Palace, the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, the Chengde Mountain Resort, etc. are all their masterpieces.

“This makes me feel more at ease.”

After Li Jianxun finished speaking, he directly handed over two large front doors.

This made Master Lei completely confused.

When they first met, they gave him a cigarette, but you gave him two packs? That's not how you act if you're rich, right?

"Master Lei, please accept it. I still need your help to build this house. You can keep one cigarette for yourself and share the other among the apprentices and workers below."

"Okay then, thank you, sir. I will definitely build it well and make you satisfied."

Master Lei smiled even more honestly and wiped his hands on his clothes before taking the cigarette.

Small favors are the most popular.

"Master Lei, I have drawn a simple plan. You can follow this general idea. The rest depends on your experience."

Li Jianxun took out the planning map he had drawn at noon and handed it over.

Master Lei took it and looked at it carefully for a long time, then said:

"Boss, I originally thought it was just to reinforce the house and modify the small courtyard, but according to your drawings, it is a big project, which will cost a lot of money."

"I don't care about anything else, I just want to ask if you can do it well?"

"Boss, don't worry. If you are not satisfied with my work, I won't charge you a penny. I will make a detailed plan for you tonight. If you agree, we will start construction this afternoon."

“As long as you can do it well, money is not a problem”

Li Jianxun pretended to be indifferent.

"Just tell me, how much does it cost for labor and materials? I'm waiting for you to come over for inspection."

"Boss, I'll make you an offer. If you can get all of this done, it'll be 1,400 yuan. In addition, I'll turn your garden into a small garden for free, with a flower pond inside, and landscape the open space outside the house. What do you think?"

Master Lei was also a little nervous at this moment.

Fourteen thousand yuan! Now a worker only earns twenty or thirty yuan a month on average. A worker would have to go without food or drink for five or six years to save up that much money.

Workers have to save for so long, not to mention farmers and idle people, who have never seen so much money in their lives.

"Money is not a problem. There is one more thing. Does Master Lei know anyone who makes furniture?"

"You've asked the right question. Lao Lei has a family that makes furniture. Their craftsmanship is absolutely impeccable."

"How much will it cost to fit all the furniture in here?"

"That depends on what kind of furniture you are making and what kind of wood you are using."

When Li Jianxun heard this, he thought that Master Lei was quite knowledgeable.

I’m afraid that the original owner of the furniture is fake, and the Master Lei who makes furniture is real.

"Tables, chairs, benches, beds, cabinets, and doors are all made of wood. As for the wood? I wonder if Master Lei has any good wood?"

Li Jianxun deliberately emphasized the three words "good wood".

Master Lei saw that Li Jianxun was extremely arrogant, and thought of his recent predicament. He hardened his heart, walked over and whispered:

"My family has redwood and wenge, as well as a small amount of huanghuali and red sandalwood. Are you interested? If he wasn't short of money recently, he really wouldn't be willing to sell it."

Li Jianxun now began to take Master Lei seriously. He said, "I'm underestimating you. There are channels for this."

Both huanghuali and red sandalwood can be obtained, that's amazing.

Rosewood is the top-grade wood. Among all kinds of hardwood, rosewood has the finest texture, the heaviest weight, and sinks as soon as it enters water.
