The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Chapter 267 Yi Zhonghai’s plan

Yi Zhonghai took a long puff of cigarette. He had had enough of this damn life. His mental state was not entirely fake. He was really tired!

Now, it's all right. I can see that I can finally make it. Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai smokes a lot faster! He wishes today would be the day for him to go on patrol!

Luckily, there hasn't been any trouble in the hospital recently, otherwise Yi Zhonghai would have felt even more difficult! Now he suddenly feels that it's good that this uncle is gone. After all, if something happens to Yan Fugui's family, it won't be Yi Zhonghai's fault, right?

Of course, if I can get the position of the first uncle back later, even the position of the third uncle would be great!

This position of a manager can, to some extent, make it easier for Yi Zhonghai to do his job!

"I have been paying less attention to the Dongxu family recently. Once I am done with this patrol, I will find an excuse to send something to the Jia family."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Aunt Tan nodded in agreement, saying that Yi Zhonghai was in charge of all the family affairs anyway, so as long as the Jia family didn't come to their house to ask for money every day, everything else would be easy to deal with.

"What about the pillar?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled, "Zhu Zi is easier to deal with. I must pretend to be lame to avoid this round of patrols. Zhu Zi will definitely come to visit us when the time comes. Then we can have a good meal with Zhu Zi."

"Okay, do you want to bring the old lady in the backyard?"

Yi Zhonghai's smile froze. It was not that he didn't want to take the old lady with him, but it was a bit troublesome. The main thing was that he was afraid that she would be greedy, and it would not be so easy to deal with the old lady if she was greedy.

"Take it with you. The old lady is counting on us to take care of her in her old age. Besides, the house in the backyard..."

Aunt Tan understood immediately, "Okay, then I'll go call the old lady, and if she wants to eat something that's not overcooked, we'll make it for her."

Yi Zhonghai nodded, lit another cigarette, and looked out the door with a vague look in his eyes.

If Li Ming saw what was going on in Yi Zhonghai's house, he would spit in the faces of these two people. They were full of thieves and whores, and to say that they were such a thief and a whore was an understatement.

This guy is really calculating against the older ones and the younger ones. It seems that all the benefits should go to Yi Zhonghai's family!

Front yard, Li's house.

After finishing his meal, Li Ming chatted with his family for a while before returning to his second bedroom.

After all, Yi Zhonghai doesn't have to patrol today, so he doesn't have to worry about this old man. The patrol will start tomorrow. By then, he will be busy with housework during the day and go out to take care of Yi Zhonghai at night. It will be a very fulfilling day.

. . . . . .

The next day.

Li Ming got up early. If he hadn't followed his mother to the street office to hire a construction worker, he would have had to sleep in bed for a while.

This is one of the few hobbies he can do after traveling to this era.

Li Ming patted his cheeks, yawned, and sat down at the dining table waiting to be fed.

"By the way, shall we skip lunch?"

Comrade Li Weiguo thought of this incident. After all, no one took care of it last time when there was plenty of grain. Now that the environment is bad, they can do nothing about it.

"Don't worry, I won't take care of it. If I take care of the food, we will be jealous."

Mother Li came over with a pot of corn porridge and took the bowl that Li Rui handed over and scooped up the porridge one by one.

"Besides, this old Liu wouldn't be so tactless. Regardless of lunch, the most he would do is pay a little more."

"If I take care of lunch, I don't know how many people will be jealous of me."

Li's mother was quite familiar with the neighbors in her courtyard. These people would not hesitate to take advantage of opportunities, especially those who lived across the street.

"By the way, son, can I leave the furniture to you this time?"

Li's mother glanced at Li Ming who was slurping his drink and asked, the main reason was this new house, and these furniture really suited the tastes of the old couple.

Inexpensive, looks quite aged, and is very sturdy.

It's much better than the new one, which is expensive and time-consuming!

"Okay, just leave it to me." Li Ming wiped his mouth, "I'm familiar with the trust store, so it will be more convenient for me to buy furniture this time."

"Look, my son is awesome!"

Comrade Lao Li was just trying to flatter his son. After all, since his son was in charge of the matter, that meant Comrade Lao Li didn't have to worry about it. If Comrade Lao Li didn't have to worry about it, that meant that he, Lao Li, didn't have to pay money from the slush fund, right?

Li Ming knew what his father was thinking even with his eyes closed, but he ignored him and continued to eat.

Mother Li rolled her eyes. It was the first time she met such a shameless father, and she had nothing to say.

After the family had a lively breakfast, Li's father took Li Rui to the steel mill, while Li's mother took Li Ming to the street office.

Regardless of whether there is drought this year or not, the willow branches on both sides of the road are beginning to sprout tender buds, heralding the arrival of the new spring. The slightly cool air along the way actually cheered Li Ming up and put him in a good mood.

"I'll take you directly to where Lao Liu often plays chess. When we get there, just tell him about it. You two know each other anyway."

"Okay, I'm familiar with him."

Li Ming sniffed the barely perceptible fragrance in the air and nodded in response with a smile.

. . . . . .

"Lao Liu, we are planning to renovate and clean up the old house over there this year. Are you free recently?"

Comrade Wu Fang saw Old Liu, who was watching others play chess, and called out to him. This call brought Master Liu back from the state of watching the game.

Turning his head, he found that it was Officer Wu from the Street Office, and his son Li Ming was with him. He was quite familiar with this Li Ming. As long as the job was done well, there would be benefits. When there was nothing else to do, he would even give him a cigarette. He was one of the few generous bosses among all the jobs that Lao Liu had done.

"Secretary Wu, if I'm free, I'm free. You said I must be free!"

Old Liu bent down slightly, nodded with a smile on his face and responded.

This is the boss who came to give him food, how could he show a bad face to him?

"Okay then, you can follow my son to our courtyard, and you two can talk about the rest. You have the final say on how to deal with my son."

Mother Li patted Li Ming's shoulder with a smile. There was nothing she could do about it. Her son was very capable!

How wonderful it is to be able to handle all the big and small things at home in an orderly manner! If I don't show it off now, when will I show it off?

"Hey, okay, I'll follow the young master right away."

The smile on Master Liu's face became more and more sincere. He admitted that Li Ming had many demands, but he was a generous person!

What's wrong with a customer who is willing to pay asking for more? If he doesn't ask for less, it will be too hot for Lao Liu to handle the money!

Chapter 268 Cleaning up the old house 2

"Okay, I'll leave it to you guys. I'm going to work now."

Seeing that she had to think harder, Li's mother left the two of them and walked towards the street office.

Li Ming handed Master Liu a cigarette and asked, "Shall we go over now?"

"Let's go, we can go now, I always carry this paper and pen with me, it won't delay anything."

Old Liu happily took a Daqianmen cigarette and lit it for himself, then the two of them walked towards the courtyard.

. . . . . .

The courtyard of the steel rolling mill.

It was working time in the courtyard. Li Ming got up early today. He came back with Master Liu and many people were just walking out.

Xu Fugui was just walking out with Xu Damao at that moment. When he saw Li Ming coming back with outsiders, he greeted him.

"Akira, you're not going to work?"

"Uncle Xu, our purchasing department has a task, so we don't have to report to the steel mill recently."

Li Ming replied to Xu Fugui cheerfully, "You are taking Brother Damao to work!"

"Yes, yes. Let's go first then."

"Mingzi, I'm leaving first."

Xu Damao and Xu Fugui each responded.

"Okay, you guys go ahead, I'll show the master around here."

Li Ming pointed at Master Liu who was standing nearby and said.

"Master Liu, let's go take a look inside the house."

"Okay, let's go."

Li Ming led Master Liu into the old house. "Our old house is not too old. This time we mainly want you to renovate it. By the way, can you also check if there are any aging areas and fix them up?"

Master Liu held a piece of paper in one hand and a pen in the other, writing and drawing as he walked.

"No problem, is there anything else that needs to be changed?"

"Go down to the water, just like the new house before, when the time comes, you can go directly to the street office to get a certificate. This old house also built a toilet, which is convenient!"

There is no other way, the neighborhood office has someone who can help you! If other people want to change the drainage in their house or clean the toilet, they will have to run around, but their house is very convenient.

Li Ming took Master Liu around the old house and said, "There's nothing else to worry about. The layout of the house doesn't need to be changed. You just need to clean it up again."

Master Liu stopped writing and nodded, "That's easy to clean up, but it's aged in many places, and replacing it with a new one will be an expense."

"It's okay. Just follow what I said. Money is not a big deal. The main thing is to make sure this old house is in good condition."

Li Ming didn't care at all. It was just a matter of spending a little more money. As long as it was something that could be done with money, it was not a big deal for Li Ming now.

"Okay, then I know. What about our lunch?"

Li Ming was happy. He couldn't take care of lunch now. "It's the same as last time. You guys can prepare lunch by yourselves. I'm not free now."

"Okay then, what about the furniture?"

"You don't have to worry about it. I'll prepare the furniture and other things. You just need to lead the people to clean up the house."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll calculate the price and see how long it will take."

Li Ming nodded, took out a cigarette and lit it, waiting for Master Liu to give him a quote.

Anyway, he doesn't dare to quote an exorbitant price. As long as you don't treat him as a sucker, everything is negotiable.

Master Liu continued writing and drawing, and soon he figured it out.

"We're here to provide all the materials and labor, including lunch and eighty yuan. We'll clean it up for you and keep it in good order."

"How long does it take?"

"About ten days, the weather will be good soon."

"Okay." Li Ming agreed immediately. The materials he wanted were all good, plus the floor, walls, beams and so on in this old house, the price was acceptable.

He took out four big black tens from his pocket and handed them to Master Liu. "As usual, half is the deposit, and I'll pay you the rest when you finish work."

"Okay, thank you, boss!"

Master Liu likes this kind of generous customers. He doesn’t bargain, as long as the job is done well!

"Then I'll go call people now and we can start work in the afternoon."

"No problem, the sooner the better. I'll wait for you here in the afternoon."

"Got it."

Master Liu responded cheerfully, turned around and left. He had taken over the boss's job, and the rest was their work. If they could finish the work earlier, they could save an extra meal, right?

After Li Ming finished dealing with this matter in the morning, he had nothing else to do. In the afternoon, he waited for Master Liu to bring people over and asked them to start work. Then he went to the trust store to order furniture and other things. His work for the day was considered done.

As for the night, I have to go to bed early because I have to go to fulfill Yi Zhonghai’s dream in the middle of the night!

After all, Yi Zhonghai has been planning for quite some time. Li Ming, in the spirit of helping others, should at least let Yi Zhonghai of their hospital get what he wants, right?

Li Ming moved a chair and lay down in the yard to bask in the sun. The weather was very good at the moment, the sun was warm and gentle, and thanks to Yan Fugui, the flowers and plants in the yard were beginning to sprout, and some were forming small buds.

Accompanied by the morning breeze, it is a perfect time to have a good sleep in the yard.

Before going to bed, Li Ming saw Yan Jiecheng, who lived next door, walking out of the house with a pig face. When he saw Li Ming, he glared at him, then turned and left.

Probably because he was worried about being discovered by Li Ming, he walked in a hurry, but Li Ming saw it clearly.

"This bastard Yan Jiecheng really has no memory!"

Li Ming narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where Yan Jiecheng left and muttered, "This guy is really tough. He has been beaten so badly, but he still doesn't know how to restrain himself!"

After sneering at the head of the Yan family, Li Ming casually clicked on the hatred value interface. He hadn't looked at it since the last time.
