Chapter 49: Renovation of the Ear Room
Chapter 49: Renovation of the Ear Room (First Update)
Compared with Director Yang's empty talk and empty promises, Director Li's words were obviously much more honest.
Through this incident, Wang Dong became more determined to cling to Director Li.
After returning to the canteen, Wang Dong didn't receive any news about special meals in the evening until he got off work.
As soon as the broadcast indicating the end of get off work sounded, Wang Dong hurried home.
He still has two big things to do tonight.
As agreed, the street person in charge of house repairs will come to the courtyard tonight to discuss with me how to renovate the ear room.
Another thing is to pickle meat and make smoked bacon.
There are still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year, and Wang Dong doesn't want to stay at home smoking bacon during the New Year.
Only by seizing the time can I complete the first batch of smoked bacon before the New Year.
As a result, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he was pulled aside mysteriously by the third uncle Yan Fugui.
"Dongzi...did you offend Uncle Yi Zhonghai?"
Wang Dong did not deny: "Third Uncle..."
"Ever since the first uncle teamed up with the Jia family to steal my job, the Chen family and I have been at odds with them!"
"Could it be that Yi Zhonghai failed to deal with me at the steel mill and plans to deal with me somewhere else?"
Yan Fugui quickly glanced around and made sure there was no third person nearby before speaking.
"The elder master is going to call a meeting of the entire hospital tonight... It seems to be related to the wing room you just got!"
"You must be careful and don't fall into their trap."
Wang Dong's eyes quickly shot out two rays of murderous intent. He didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai was so short-sighted.
He started causing trouble again right after being punished by the street office, and even wanted to take the earl room he had just been allocated. It was simply a pipe dream.
He immediately thanked Yan Fugui: "Thank you for the reminder, Third Master..."
"I, Wang Dong, am not made of clay either."
"Yi Zhonghai couldn't handle me in the steel mill, so he can't take advantage of me in the yard either."
"I'll remember this favor today!"
"When I resolve the matter, I will definitely thank the Third Master."
Back in the east wing, Wang Dong did not tell Yi Zhonghai about his intention to take over the ear room.
He felt that he could solve this problem and there was no need to cause more trouble for Uncle Chen and Sister Jun.
…………
Master Tan from the street office had arrived early, and as soon as Wang Dong arrived, he took him to the ear room of the east wing!
"Master Tan... I want to renovate this wing..."
"Repair all that needs to be repaired..."
"It is divided into two rooms, one large and one small, with a large window on each side near the courtyard..."
"I want to build a kitchen and a toilet in the yard... and connect the toilet's drainage directly to the public toilet outside..."
"We also need to bring running water to the yard..."
"Leave a tap in the kitchen and toilet for water collection..."
"Install a toilet in the bathroom... it would be best if you can help me solve it. If you can't solve it, I will find a way to buy it myself..."
"There is a door on the side wall of the east wing near the courtyard..."
"From now on, I will block the gate of the courtyard, treat the courtyard as the backyard of the east wing, and enter and exit directly from the east wing..."
"How much do these renovations cost?"
Master Tan listened and took notes in a notebook, while calculating the relevant expenses in his mind, and answered after considering for two minutes.
"My boss..."
"It doesn't cost much to repair the house, separate the rooms, and open windows!"
"The most expensive part is building toilets, building kitchens, moving water supply, and repairing sewer pipes..."
"If the boss has enough money..."
"I can do all these jobs for you... The construction period is about half a month..."
"You need to go to the street office to apply for relocating the water supply and repairing the sewer pipes. I can help you with that too!"
As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem. Wang Dong didn't waste any words and asked straightforwardly.
"Master Tan... just tell me the truth... how much is the total for the all-inclusive package..."
"Three hundred and fifty yuan for labor and materials, but the boss has to provide us with a meal at noon!"
This cost did not exceed Wang Dong's estimate.
Master Tan was straightforward, and he was also straightforward, nodding immediately...
"Then three hundred and fifty yuan..."
"I'll give you a deposit of 200 yuan first!"
"Pay the remaining one hundred and fifty dollars when you finish the work."
"But you must ensure the quality and construction period..."
"Let's build the kitchen and toilet first, otherwise it will be too inconvenient to go in and out of the courtyard late at night every day!"
After receiving the deposit, Master Tan said goodbye to Chen Dehui and left the courtyard.
The construction period of this project was very tight, so he had to find people and contact materials overnight to ensure that work could start tomorrow morning.
Seeing Master Tan leaving in a hurry, Uncle Chen thought that the two sides had not reached an agreement, so he hurriedly asked, "Why is Master Tan so anxious?"
Wang Dong explained with a smile: "Uncle...he is in a hurry to do something!"
"350 yuan for labor and materials, with a meal provided at noon...but I require them to finish the work before the New Year!"
"Time is tight and the task is heavy. Master Tan had to go back overnight to find people and buy materials!"
Chen Jun was delighted after hearing this: "It will be completed before the New Year..."
"Then I can live in a new house during the Chinese New Year!"
Wang Dong really wanted to fulfill Chen Jun's wish, but for safety reasons he shook his head decisively!
"You can't live in a newly renovated house yet..."
"It will take at least half a month of ventilation before we can move in."
"And it takes time for us to buy furniture..."
"But the kitchen and toilet are usable..."
"Once Master Tan and his team are done, we won't have to go out to the public toilet in the middle of the night to queue up to use the restroom."
"Go to the toilet right at home!"
“No need to queue up in the middle courtyard to get water!”
"From now on, there will be taps in the courtyard, kitchen, toilet...!"
Upon hearing this, the most excited people in the family were Chen Jun and Chen Li.
They are girls and it is very troublesome for them to go to the toilet in the middle of the night.
Because he didn't dare to leave the courtyard alone in the middle of the night, and was embarrassed to disturb Uncle Chen and Aunt Li, he could either endure it until dawn; or use the wooden toilet at home and empty it into the public toilet after dawn.
If there was a toilet in the courtyard, they could go to the toilet at home.
Uncle Chen was also very excited.
Due to a lumbar injury, it is difficult for me to leave the courtyard, let alone go to the public toilet!
Every time, Aunt Li would have to wait until there was no one in the public toilet before she could help Uncle Chen go to the toilet.
Once the toilet in the yard is repaired, Uncle Chen won't have to worry about whether the public toilet is occupied or not. He can use the toilet whenever he wants. It is very convenient and he only needs to walk a few steps to get there.
Thinking of this, Chen Jun's face immediately lit up with joy.
There was clearly a hint of admiration in his expression when he looked at Wang Dong.
The fiancé in front of me is impeccable in every aspect except his low educational level.
He is even better to himself and his family.
I won’t say much about the decoration of the ear room.
There are also the various receipts brought back in the past two days, the more than 20 kilograms of pork belly, cloth, and non-staple food that my mother bought...they are the best proof.
Many sons of residents in the Siheyuan courtyard are not so good to their parents!
If it weren't for the age limit, he would want to marry Wang Dong immediately to prevent such a good fiancé from being snatched away by someone else.
The first update is here today! Please save it! Please recommend it and give me a monthly vote!
