Chapter 37 Room allocation
Chapter 37 Room allocation
The front yard of the Siheyuan.
The second aunt and the third aunt, two unemployed women, were sitting under the eaves, basking in the sun, making shoe soles, and gossiping about the latest happenings in the courtyard.
The third aunt inherited the calculating character of the third uncle Yan Fugui. She would look up at the gate of the compound from time to time to see if there was anyone entering or leaving the courtyard who was worth her calculations.
As soon as Director Wang entered the gate of the courtyard, the sharp-eyed third aunt stood up from her chair.
"Hello, Director Wang..."
"How come you have time to come to the courtyard today!"
"Are there any new instructions for the street?"
As soon as the third aunt finished speaking, several other aunts gathered around, each of them showing great enthusiasm.
Director Wang quickly refused: "It's no big deal!"
"You guys should still do what you are supposed to do!"
"I'm accompanying Comrade Wang Dong to look at the house!"
"The steel mill has decided to give the east wing and the courtyard in the front yard to Wang Dong!"
"When your men get off work, tell them: This is the house that the steel mill allocated to Wang Dong, and no one should have any evil ideas..."
"If there is any more threatening and beating of orphans in Siheyuan, I don't mind coming to Siheyuan to arrest people and send them to labor camps!"
After saying that, he took Wang Dong straight to the east wing.
The patio door was closed, with a rusty copper lock hanging on it.
Director Wang quickly found the key he had prepared in advance and opened the door. A small courtyard with an area of no less than 20 square meters appeared in front of everyone.
Perhaps because it had not been taken care of for a long time, almost half of the yard was covered with weeds, and the floor tiles had become dilapidated and almost unusable.
The area of the ear room is about the same as the courtyard, and you can smell a pungent musty smell as soon as you open the door!
Many pieces of furniture cannot be used immediately because they have been moldy for a long time.
Such a house is not suitable for living, let alone being used as a warehouse.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Director Wang's face.
She knew that the wing was very shabby, but she didn't expect it to be so dilapidated. No wonder the steel mill hadn't allocated it for two years.
"Xiao Wang..."
“The conditions here are really bad…”
"Why don't you go back to the steel mill and try to find a new house..."
Wang Dong shook his head: "Housing in the factory is also in short supply... Although I am the orphan of a martyr and the factory takes care of me, they cannot give me any special treatment..."
“I want this one!”
"But I need the street office to issue me a certificate..."
"This house is totally uninhabitable and needs major renovation..."
"Uncle Chen has a problem with his back, I want to run a pipe from the tap to the courtyard so it's easier to get water!"
"You also know that Uncle Chen and I are a family..."
"I want to block the gate to the courtyard when I renovate the side room, and open a door from the side wall of the east wing to enter the courtyard!"
"Move everything from the entrance and the kitchen to the courtyard!"
Director Wang thought for a moment and replied, "As long as the layout of the courtyard house is not changed and the structure of the house is not altered, the street office can issue you a certificate for house repairs!"
"Don't block the gate to the yard. It will have too much impact. People will think you don't want to deal with the people in the yard!"
"If you really don't want to open it, you can lock it or block it from inside the yard!"
"Thank you Director Wang..."
After seeing Director Wang off and locking the gate to the courtyard, Wang Dong went straight to the east wing.
I have already asked for leave to return to the compound, so I must go back home.
Moreover, such a big matter as allocating rooms must be told to Uncle Chen and the others.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Uncle Chen and Aunt Li looking at me with confusion on their faces. It was obvious that they had already figured out that I was going to bring Director Wang back to the courtyard and go to the small patio!
"Dongzi...did you take Director Wang to the courtyard just now?" Chen Dehui was a man who could not hide things. He asked anxiously without waiting for Wang Dong to enter the door.
"Uncle...Aunt..."
"Today I performed a great service at the steel mill..."
"Director Li asked me what I needed?"
"I said that there was not enough room at home, and asked him if he could give me the courtyard and the east wing!" "I didn't expect Director Li to give me a certificate for the room right away without saying anything!"
"Director Wang just handed over the courtyard and the east wing to me on behalf of the street!"
"Dongzi...are you going to move out?" Aunt Li became anxious after hearing this and asked subconsciously.
Uncle Chen also showed a worried expression on his face.
They were afraid that after Wang Dong got the job, he would ignore the Chen family and sever ties with the Chen family, which would really be a loss for the Chen family.
But based on his understanding of Wang Dong's character, he shouldn't be so heartless.
But it is a fact that he took over the east wing and the ear room in the front yard.
For a moment, Chen Dehui couldn't understand what Wang Dong was thinking.
I was extremely anxious, but I didn't know how to start.
As soon as Wang Dong saw their reactions, he knew there was a misunderstanding and quickly explained.
"Uncle...Aunt..."
"Don't think too much!"
"I asked the factory for this annex and I have no intention of moving out."
"It's purely to improve the living environment at home."
"When I marry Sister Jun, you will be my father-in-law and mother-in-law, a real family. No one can separate us!"
"I have already agreed with the Street Director Wang!"
"Get a certificate first, and I'll take over the house after the New Year!"
"Block the gate to the courtyard from the inside, open a door on the side wall of the east wing, and use the courtyard as our backyard!"
"The kitchen at home was moved directly to the patio!"
"Because every time I cook, some people in the yard will smell the smell and come over!"
"The yard is more than 20 square meters..."
"In addition to building a kitchen, we can also open up a vegetable garden of about ten square meters. After the spring comes, my aunt can grow some vegetables at home."
"We can also build a chicken coop and feed two old hens that lay eggs."
"This way, every two or three days, everyone in the family can eat an egg..."
"I even applied to Director Wang!"
"When we build the wing room, we moved the tap water to the courtyard, so we don't have to go to the middle courtyard to fetch water every day!"
"When the time comes, I will hang the honor plaque at the gate of the yard, which will surely deter many villains."
"Although the location of the wing room is not good, as long as we renovate it and add two more windows, the room will no longer be moldy and can be divided into two rooms!"
"Even if Sister Jun and I have children in the future, our family will never be short of housing!"
Aunt Li was already immersed in the beautiful picture drawn by Wang Dong.
He has to take care of Uncle Chen and can't go to work.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to ease the burden on his family.
Growing vegetables and raising chickens may seem simple, but they are the best and most direct ways to reduce the burden on your family.
My heart was immediately moved, and I asked with anticipation: "Dongzi..."
"What you just said is true!"
"Does the street allow us to grow vegetables and raise chickens in the courtyard?"
Wang Dong answered confidently: "Auntie..."
"The courtyard is our own yard!"
"Director Wang of the street said..."
"As long as it doesn't affect other people in the courtyard, you can do anything!"
"Growing vegetables and raising chickens will definitely not affect other people!"
