Chapter 654 Liu Haizhong Sells House
Wang Tiedan was delighted.
Shazhu is making fun of what happened to Liu Haizhong three years ago. Even though he has a child, he still hasn't changed his bad breath.
No sound was heard from outside, probably because he was choked.
Wang Tiedan waited for a while, but no one came in, so he simply stopped waiting and went straight out of the yard.
When I arrived at the door, I saw Liu Haizhong standing not far away, looking at Sha Zhu's back and talking to himself.
"Hey, Uncle Liu, are you here to see me?"
Liu Haizhong didn't expect Wang Tiedan to come out, and turned around with a bitter smile.
"Tiedan, long time no see."
"It's been a long time, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Wang Tiedan asked, hugging his shoulders, without any intention of inviting him into the house.
The bangs are a little awkward.
"Well, Tiedan, how much do you want to pay for my house?"
"house?"
Wang Tiedan immediately became interested.
"Is that your private house or the steel mill's house?"
"It's a private property, a private property. I bought it a long time ago." Liu Haizhong said hurriedly.
Wang Tiedan thought about it.
"If it's a private house, how about a thousand dollars?"
When Liu Haizhong heard the price, his eyes lit up.
"I only want seven hundred. Can you do me a favor?"
"What's the deal?"
"Look, I've been a team leader in the workshop for a year, and I still want to make progress."
"Stop!"
Wang Tiedan quickly raised his hand to stop him.
"Uncle Liu, let's not beat around the bush. Last time, I suffered a great loss when Yi Zhonghai's house was taken away. I helped you so much, but when Yi Zhonghai died, the steel mill wanted to take back the house. Fortunately, I found a connection again. Did you know that?"
It's even more embarrassing with the bangs.
"I didn't expect that Lao Yi would be gone just like that. Logically, he should have no problem living for a few more years."
Wang Tiedan waved his hand.
"Let's not talk about this, Uncle Liu. If I remember correctly, you should be around fifty-five or fifty-six now, right?"
"Fifty-five."
"Fifty-five, that means you'll be retired in five years. Why are you still struggling? Wouldn't it be better to save the money for your retirement?"
"I just don't want to retire so soon. If I get a technical position, I can postpone my retirement by five years, and, and..."
Liu Haizhong blushed and was too embarrassed to continue.
"And you can earn five more years of money and then retire as a cadre, right?"
"It's all there."
Wang Tiedan shook his head.
"Uncle Liu, you are now the workshop team leader, and the next level up is the production team leader and the technical team leader. Do you think you can get the job transfer for three to five hundred yuan?"
Liu Haizhong really wanted to say, it’s just a matter of your words.
As long as you open your mouth, everyone will give you face.
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.
The answer is obvious: it doesn’t matter. Money alone won’t get it done.
Wang Tiedan didn't give him time to answer and raised a finger.
"It's only a thousand dollars. If you want to sell it, then sell it. If you don't want to sell it, I won't force you."
Liu Haizhong pursed his lips, still unwilling to give up.
"Tiedan, my lifelong wish is to become an official, is that really not possible?"
"You have been the head of a special task force of the Revolutionary Committee, and you have been the head for several months. Just enjoy it and you think you haven't caused enough trouble.
You know yourself well. You haven't even graduated from elementary school and can't speak fluently. If you are asked to be the production team leader, ask yourself, can you do it?"
"I can learn!"
Liu Haizhong blurted out with a firm expression.
Wang Tiedan was also stunned and just laughed.
"Well, it's up to you whether you want to learn or not. I can't help you with this. If you don't want to sell it, forget it. I'll see you later."
Having said that, he turned around and went home.
Seeing that Wang Tiedan was about to close the store, Liu Haizhong became anxious.
"Tiedan, wait."
"I can't do it. I can't do it."
Wang Tiedan didn't want to talk to him and just closed the door directly.
"I'll sell the house for one thousand, okay?"
Liu Haizhong said.
Being an official is a small matter, while providing for the elderly is a big matter.
Yi Zhonghai's affairs have always had a profound impact on him and his second aunt.
The eldest son has come to the wrap-up meeting twice, and the possibility of him coming back is very slim.
The youngest son has been in prison and is now sent to the countryside, so there is not much hope for him.
The remaining second son will not return to the courtyard because of Jia Zhang's matter.
He is getting married now and didn’t even inform his family.
If this goes on, Liu Haizhong and the second aunt are very afraid of following in Yi Zhonghai's footsteps.
Think about it.
The two decided to move out.
It just so happens that someone is selling a house in the yard where Liu Guangtian lives, for 700 yuan, and the offer will not be accepted after the deadline.
"Are you sure you want to sell?"
"Sure, the transfer can be made today."
Seeing that Liu Haizhong didn't seem to be faking it, Wang Tiedan nodded.
"Okay, go back and get ready first. I'll go get the money and transfer the ownership later."
"Good~"
Things went exceptionally smoothly.
When Lieutenant General Liu Hai transferred the house to himself, he also transferred two houses from other people, and then he couldn't wait to start moving.
As he moved, the whole yard began to shake.
Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing, Xu Fugui, and Yan Bugui are among the oldest residents in this courtyard.
Three of the five veterans passed away, but I didn’t expect the fourth one to leave.
This was the second most powerful leader in the backyard. (The first was the deaf old lady)
"Old Liu, are you really leaving?"
Yan Bugui was very reluctant to let him go as they had known each other for many years.
"The transfer is complete, so I have to leave."
Liu Haizhong glanced at the yard and felt a little reluctant to leave, after all, he had lived there for twenty or thirty years.
"Then where are you going?"
"Not far away, in Hepingli, I bought two rooms in the yard where my second son lives."
Yan Bugui knew very well what Liu Haizhong meant.
"Very good, very good. Come back often when you have time."
"Of course. Old Yan, you should also make plans early."
"I?"
Yan Bugui subconsciously glanced at his house.
Thinking of Yan Jiecheng’s threat just now, I felt a sense of desolation in my heart.
Liu Haizhong has difficulty in supporting himself in his old age, and so does he.
Every family has its cupboard.
"I will think about it."
A group of people escorted Liu Haizhong out of the yard, watched several carts disappear at the entrance of the alley, and then returned to the yard one after another.
Some people looked around the yard and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
Courtyard No. 95, which had won the title of "Excellent Courtyard" for many years, has completely changed in just over three years.
There is no more deaf old lady taking advantage of her seniority, no more hospital-wide meeting of three uncles, no more quarrel between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, no more big-butt washing machine in the central courtyard, and no more performance of throwing tantrums and calling back spirits.
More peaceful, more harmonious.
But, it lacks a certain flavor.
Normally, we don’t have much entertainment activities, and now there is no chance to watch a play.
