The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 71
Wang Gang chatted with Zhao Zihao for a while, and then Niu Meilan finished cleaning the house and came back to chat with them.

"Big brother, your house is damaged in several places, I'm afraid it needs to be repaired." Niu Meilan put down the broom and said.

The small courtyard house left by Lu Quanfa is the ancestral property of the Lu family. For some years, no one has lived in it, and the house has indeed cracked a lot.

"Do you know the decorator? I plan to repair this house." Wang Gang said.

"Yes, I do, but your house is old, and it might cost a lot of money to repair it," Zhao Zihao said.

"Money is not a problem, but I have some requirements for the decoration. I don't know if the person you are looking for can do it." Wang Gang said.

"Brother, tell us what you want, I'll ask someone."

Wang Gang said: "This house has three rooms and a kitchen, and I plan to replace it with a toilet, which needs to be drained independently.

Also, Sijiu City is too cold in winter, so I plan to install heating in the house. "

Zhao Zihao and Niu Meilan looked at each other, somewhat puzzled: "This independent toilet is easy to solve, although it is difficult to get into the water, but as long as you spend money, it is not difficult to do.

Only the heater may be troublesome. It needs a boiler to burn. The boiler is really difficult to get. You can't get it if you have money! "

Niu Meilan also said: "Big brother, have you considered setting up a kang, it's very warm in winter!"

Wang Gang stroked his chin and said, "The kang requires firewood. After a few years of urban re-planning, gas will replace firewood, and the kang is useless."

"Urban planning? Gas?" The old man Zhao Zihao looked at me and I looked at you, but he didn't understand what Wang Gang meant!
"Forget it, let's put the heating matter on hold for a while. Please ask me how much it will cost to renovate the house and build a separate bathroom, and how long it will take." Wang Gang could only retreat in the end. next best.

"No problem, leave this matter to me, and I will give you an approval letter tomorrow." Niu Meilan said, patting her chest.

The three chatted for a while, and then left separately.

Wang Gang locked the door of the small courtyard, and then returned to the courtyard.

He also bumped into Yi Zhonghai at the gate, and he nodded in greeting.

In the past few years, Yi Zhonghai has become very old, his hair is about to fall out, his originally burly figure is also a little thinner, and his waist is bent unconsciously.

Yi Zhonghai hasn't had a good day since he was released.

Although the law forgave him, those red gunmen did not, and they dragged him to the street to commit suicide every now and then, which made him want to die.

In the past two years, the evil wind outside has eased, and Yi Zhonghai has felt better, but the sequelae of being raped, that is, he cringes when he sees everyone.

Now he finds a job in a small factory, and the monthly salary is very small, which is only enough to support himself.

Fortunately, when Yi Zhonghai divorced, he shared 2000 yuan, which was enough for him to survive.

Now this old man doesn't have any prestige in the courtyard, and he is the one that everyone shouts and beats. Anyone who sees him can yell a few times.

Sometimes Wang Gang saw many children, and they dared not resist when they threw stones at them.

Seeing him as pitiful, He Yuzhu would secretly help him sometimes, but he didn't dare to show it blatantly.

After Wang Gang crossed Yi Zhonghai and entered the middle courtyard, he saw a fat old man with trembling hands and feet, who was Liu Haizhong.

After he was injured in the head, he was transferred to the factory to do logistics, and he just took early retirement six months ago.

After Liu Haizhong's two sons "married" him out, they didn't interact with the family. Liu Haizhong's eldest son was working in other places, and he wouldn't come back even during Chinese New Year.

Raised three sons, but in the end there was no one to take care of him, so Liu Haizhong could only live with his wife.

When Wang Gang saw Liu Haizhong, he specially said hello: "Yo! Second uncle, come out for a walk after dinner!"

When Liu Haizhong saw Wang Gang, he snorted coldly, turned his head and left.

Although there is no evidence to prove that it was Wang Gang who asked someone to beat him, Liu Haizhong has already determined that Wang Gang must have something to do with his current fate.

Wang Gang smiled and said: "Second uncle, walk slowly, your legs and feet are not good, don't fall down."

Liu Haizhong turned around angrily, and said to Wang Gang: "Wang Gang, one day you will not fall into my hands."

Wang Gang snorted coldly: "You are not the captain of the picket now, why do you still want to lock me up in the little black room?"

Not to mention that Liu Haizhong was just a small retired worker, even if he hadn't retired, when had Wang Gang been afraid of him again.

Wang Gang strode past Liu Haizhong, he was so angry that he trembled and couldn't even stand still.

The second aunt seemed to hear the movement outside, and ran out to support Liu Haizhong.

"Old man, don't be so angry."

Liu Haizhong's breath is not going well, but he can only swear and swear, and if he really goes to trouble Wang Gang, it's not enough to give him three guts.

After returning home, He Yushui had already left work and was cooking.

"Yu Shui, put down the spatula, and I will do these things in the future." Wang Gang quickly ran to He Yushui, grabbed the spatula and said.

He Yushui didn't refuse Wang Gang's kindness, stepped back and gave him the frying pan.

After learning culinary skills from He Yuzhu for seven years, although Wang Gang's skills are not at the level of a chef, they are not bad. He quickly cooked three dishes and one soup.

Now life is getting better and better, the food crisis is basically over, as long as the families are not particularly difficult, they can have enough food, and it is not unusual to eat meat every now and then.

But like Wang Gang's family, there are still not many families who have a small amount of meat every day and a big amount of meat every three days.

It's not that no one is greedy for Wang Gang's family and wants to report him.

It's just that Wang Gang's income as a driver is there. Although eating meat like this is prodigal, it is still reasonable.

He Yushui also kept an eye out for the outside world. Others only know that the couple's salary is spent every month, and few people know that they can save more than 100 yuan a month.

This is not counting Wang Gang's small coffers.

After seven years of marriage, He Yushui also had more than 1 yuan including previous deposits, all of which were hidden in the dark compartment under the table.

During the meal, Wang Gang and He Yushui mentioned the renovation of the small courtyard.

"You want to move to the small courtyard again?" He Yushui asked while eating.

"I have this idea." Wang Gang took a mouthful of rice and said slowly: "I plan to install a separate toilet in the small courtyard. It will be more convenient for you to bring your children when the time comes, and it will save you from going out to the public toilet in the cold."

When He Yushui thought about what was going on in the public toilet, he lost his appetite to eat.

"Are you eating? What public toilet are you talking about!" He Yushui put down his chopsticks and said unhappily.

Wang Gang smiled and said, "Blame me, blame me."

He Yushui sighed and said, "I know you never want to live in the courtyard, but the first mother is getting older and her health is not good, so I can't let her go."

Wang Gang said: "Now my sister-in-law has resigned and stays at home. She can help take care of the first mother when she has time. Besides, you are also pregnant now. I am worried that it will be inconvenient for you to go to the public toilet and hurt the child.

The small courtyard is also close to your work place, which is good for you and your children. "

He Yushui sighed: "You have been thinking about these excuses for a long time!"

Wang Gang chuckled and said, "This is the truth, not an excuse."

He Yushui sighed and said, "Let me think about it again, and discuss it with my brother and my aunt."

Wang Gang saw that He Yushui did not refuse to move this time, and immediately felt that there was something to be said about it.
