Chapter 298: Deceive the landlord to dig a well
At Cao Baoshan's house in the Transportation Bureau Family Courtyard, Xue Ming scooped up a ladle of water and added it to the pressure well. He pressed the rocker arm back and forth to quickly squeeze out the clear water, which continued to flow into the bucket.
"The water is so clear, much cleaner than the water in the well." Mi Nanyang, the landlord of Mijia Siheyuan, praised repeatedly.
After finishing the bucket of water, Xue Ming stopped, turned around and said to Cao Baoshan's wife, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I'm disturbing you again."
"I've been disturbed a lot in the past two days. The people who came to watch the excitement almost kicked the threshold of my house into pieces. It's all your fault for installing a water pressure well." Feng Juanjiao also joked with Xue Ming with a smile.
"Haha, Auntie got an advantage and behaved well. Others who want to watch the fun don't have to watch." Xue Ming also joked with her.
"You are the only one with a sharp tongue. If your uncle is not at home, I won't let you have dinner." Feng Juanjiao was in a good mood. She already regarded this child as a junior.
Xue Ming took Mi Nanyang away from Cao's house. The two brothers walked in the family courtyard. Several old people greeted Xue Ming. They all recognized Xue Ming who was pumping the well.
"It costs 90 yuan to drill a pressure well. Would Brother Mi consider building one in our courtyard house?" Xue Ming asked.
"Oh my God! If you can't afford it, let's let the comrades go to the well rooms to fetch water." Mi Nanyang was frightened by the price and jumped up.
Although he is the workshop director of a light bulb factory, his monthly salary is only 40 yuan. His wife is at home every day when she is not working, and her main source of income is the rent collected in the courtyard.
"Brother Mi, Brother Mi, I have to share some experiences with you." Xue Ming said and put his arm around his shoulders.
"Don't do this. At my age, I have seen more of the world than you. Your sister-in-law will definitely not agree to spending ninety yuan to install a pressure well, although pressure well is indeed very good." Mi Nanyang laughed.
"Brother Mi, is Widow Qin's room across the street from my house currently rented?" Xue Ming asked.
"Do you want to rent? I can give you a few yuan discount." Mi Nanyang couldn't keep up with Xue Ming's conversation, and kept talking about renting a house.
"If there is a pressure well in our yard, it would be reasonable for the annual rent to be ten yuan higher than outside." Xue Ming stopped and patted him on the shoulder.
Mi Nanyang's heart skipped a beat, and when he thought about it carefully, his eyes lit up. The motorized well house is one mile away from Mijia. The rent near the motorized well house is a few yuan more expensive than that of Mijia. The reason is that it is close to the well and it is convenient to draw water.
Carrying water is a daily job for the masses these days, and they have to travel at least ten miles back and forth to carry a tank full of water. People with slightly better conditions would rather spend a few more yuan to rent a house near the well.
"The Cao Baoshan family is the only one in the entire provincial capital and even the whole country that has this new type of pressurized water well. You are the second family, my brother. Do you think this is the beginning?" Xue Ming continued to seduce.
"If something works, my rent will increase by at least ten yuan." The more Mi Nanyang thought about it, the more reliable it became. In the end, he couldn't help but rub his hands and giggle.
"Damn it, let's put the ugly words first. You can increase other people's rents as much as you like. My rent can't be increased within two years." Xue Ming almost got himself involved.
"No problem, but I have to go home and discuss it with your sister-in-law." Mi Nanyang said.
The Family Courtyard of the Transportation Bureau is not far from Mi's house. The two talked and laughed all the way home. Xue Ming went back to the house to rest, and Mi Nanyang discussed installing a pressurized water well with his wife.
A few minutes later, Xue Ming saw the landlord and his wife going out. It was probably the male landlord who took the female landlord to Cao's house to check the well pressure.
An hour later they came back and knocked on Xue Ming's door. Mi Nanyang had a flattering look on his face and said, "Brother, if you give me some discount, we can dig a well for 80 yuan."
"Ninety yuan is not a bargain. Brother Mi has thought carefully. I only have one set of well-killing tools in my hand." Xue Ming believed that the other party would compromise. They both have the shrewdness of ordinary citizens.
"Pretend, brother Xue, pretend now." Hu Liya, the landlady, said through clenched teeth.
Two people came to inquire about the rent this morning. Installing the pressure well will immediately charge an extra ten yuan in rent.
The rents of five houses are due at the end of this month. At that time, the rent can be increased by using the well pressure, at least ten yuan per year for each house.
"Look, look, my sister is happy. You guys choose a place in the yard to dig a well, and I'll pull the tools for the well." Xue Ming finished pushing his bicycle and went out.
He came to the No. 1 Textile Factory and asked Zhao Erlian for help. In the future, superior leaders would definitely ask about well digging. Xue Ming wanted to train his second uncle to become the first batch of well-killing technicians in the country.
When the two brothers returned home, the landlord had already chosen a location to dig a well, which was right next to the nine large tanks in the yard. Xue Ming thought it was okay, so he went back to the house to get the well and start construction.
As soon as the hammer rang, the neighbors all poked their heads in. Liu Linna, who was across the street, took her children out, "Brother, Comrade Lao Mi, what are you doing?"
"You will know when the time comes." Xue Ming handed the Luoyang shovel in his hand to Mi Nanyang, "Brother Mi, hold on."
The clanging sound of hammers and shovels in Luoyang attracted more people to eat melons, and residents of the courtyard next door also came to watch the fun.
Mi Nanyang made up his mind that after the well was drilled, he would only let his tenants use it for free, and would not let outsiders use it unless they paid three yuan a month for the use of the well.
At this time, Zuo Changzheng, director of the Transportation Department, came with a young man. When he saw the people in the yard, he was stunned, "Brother Xue, what are you doing?"
"Brother Zuo, why are you here? Let's go to the house to talk." Xue Ming probably guessed his purpose.
"Brother Xue, this is my unsatisfactory third son. Tianyi, please say hello to your Uncle Xue." Zuo Changzheng put two bottles of wine on the table.
Zuo Tian nodded without saying hello. He turned around and kept looking at the well drilling outside. Zuo Changzheng's old face sank and he was about to get angry.
Xue Ming hurriedly stopped, "The old leader is too polite. If I want Tianyi to learn to drive with me, just say a word. Why are you using wine?"
"I can't come empty-handed." Zuo Changzheng was in a good mood, "I have applied to my superiors to promote you to the position of deputy director of the Transportation Department, but I just don't know what your superiors mean."
"Thank you, brother." Xue Ming made tea to entertain the other party, and the two brothers chatted while drinking tea.
Zuo Tianyi still looked unruly, as if he didn't want to learn to drive a big truck from Xue Ming.
Xue Ming couldn't help but think of two very powerful Tianyi in the future, one was a chess master and the other was a cheating expert. The Tianyi in front of him seemed to be a cheating expert as well.
At this time, there was an exclamation in the yard. Xue Ming hurried over and found water pouring out of the well, "Second brother, don't be stunned, hurry up and drain the water pipe."
"Okay, young and old, help me." Zhao Erlian led a group of people to lower the pipe into the well.
Zuo Tianyi stared at the water outlet with a look of eagerness to try.
"Tianyi, don't be stunned, go up and help." Xue Ming thought that this child might be interested in water. Generally, people who lack water in the five elements would be named Tianyi.
Zuo Tianyi immediately went over to lift the pipe. Zuo Changzheng was a little surprised, thinking that I usually couldn't control my son, how could he listen to Xue Ming?
