Break out of the courtyard

"This courtyard belongs to the public!" Director Qi said, glanced at Director Wang, and saw that she was smiling without saying a word, so Director Qi continued:

"Two years ago, there was a policy of converting public property into private property, but now it is gone. Therefore, this yard cannot be sold."

"Oh!" Zhang Heping left the main house with a disappointed look on his face, looked left and right, and said helplessly: "Aunt Wang, moving is a big deal. I have to discuss it with my parents. Decorating the house is also a hassle. thing."

Acting: Proficient (16%).

You kid, you want to take advantage of me, and you want to talk official with me, just to watch me do Tai Chi with you.

Director Wang looked at Zhang Heping who walked to the stove and asked with a smile: "Heping, how much money have you saved?"

"I used some during the Chinese New Year, and I have more than 700 yuan left."

Director Wang glanced at Qi Jun, who was a little surprised, and then said to Zhang Heping: "Heping, if you can trust Aunt Wang, go back and get 700 yuan and your household registration book. I will find a way with you, Uncle Qi, to take care of this courtyard." Change it to your name."

"Okay!" Zhang Heping responded and ran out.

"Xiao Wang, is this too hasty? Why did you agree to change his room before I even mentioned my conditions?"

"Lao Qi, if you insist on negotiating terms with Zhang Heping, when he comes later, don't talk in circles and tell him your terms directly." After Director Wang finished speaking, he changed the subject and talked about recent policies.

What Director Wang didn't tell this old comrade was that last year, she just sent out two letters of introduction to test Zhang Heping, and she successively received prey and fish with a total price of no less than 800 yuan, not counting the meat her family collected. .

Her relationship with Qi Jun was average. She had asked Director Qi from the next street over to inquire about the small courtyard, but Director Qi kept asking her in circles, which was unpleasant.

……

Courtyard No. 7 on the north bank of Houhai is at most 95 miles away from Courtyard No. 3 in Nanluoguxiang.

The time Zhang Heping spent riding his bicycle back and forth was not as long as the time he spent moving bricks at home to find money.

About twenty minutes later, Zhang Heping left and returned, carrying an iron can of malted milk containing money back to No. 7 Courtyard.

Zhang Heping handed the tin can to Director Wang and said with a smile: "Aunt Wang, my family's money and my household registration are all here. If it's not enough, I will take some furs to sell at the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow."

Zhang Heping didn't take all the money. When he asked for a deposit, he left 100 yuan.

It's not that he doesn't believe Director Wang, but because an outsider, Director Qi, is present.

"Director Qi will use the money to help you buy 5 private houses near Houhai, and then use the 5 private houses under your name to exchange for the 5 public houses in this courtyard, so that this small courtyard can be under your name."

While explaining, Director Wang opened the lid of the tin can, took out the household registration book, and glanced at the household name, "After Director Qi has exchanged the house deed for this small courtyard, I will give you the house deed, the remaining money and the household registration book. .”

Then, Director Wang and Zhang Heping looked at Director Qi.

After Director Wang said "Director Qi" instead of "Your Uncle Qi", Zhang Heping immediately understood that he was asking him to negotiate terms on business matters!

"Well, peace! Buying and changing a house is not as simple as your Aunt Wang said. It involves many people and departments." Director Qi glanced at Director Wang who was smiling and said nothing, and his heart became cruel and his old face turned red. said:

"If you can donate 200 kilograms of game to our street office to help needy households, I can take the time to personally help you with the house-changing procedures."

"Two hundred pounds?" Zhang Heping ignored the purpose of the meat and looked at Director Wang.

The relationship between Director Qi and Director Wang seems not to be very close.

Otherwise, how could he only have 200 kilograms!

"How about one hundred and eighty kilograms?" Director Qi felt that his asking price was too high. After all, the other party was just a child, and his abilities were limited no matter how great they were. The rumors outside should not be taken too seriously.

"Uncle Qi, hunting in this ice and snow, just climbing the mountain is very strenuous, and finding prey depends on luck. Plus, it gets dark early in the winter. If I get lost in the mountains and encounter a pack of wolves... I am the only one with my parents. son!"

"This..." Director Qi was in trouble, and Xiao Wang next to him didn't help. There was no way he could force a little kid to go hunting in the mountains!

Just when Director Qi didn't know how to continue, Zhang Heping said again, "How about changing the prey to fish?"

"That's okay! But the weight cannot be less!"

"No problem!" Zhang Heping agreed with a smile, thinking of taking his two sisters out tomorrow, handing in a carload of fish for relief tasks, and selling a carload of fish to the canteen of the steel rolling mill to repay some money for his family's savings.

"Aunt Wang, if nothing happens here, I will go back first."

"Take the key. Once you deliver the fish to your Uncle Qi, you can come here to clean and repair the house."

Zhang Heping caught the key thrown by Director Qi and said with a smile: "Uncle Qi! Where did I get the fish for you?"

"Go out and go a hundred meters to the right. There is a blackboard at the door announcing the bungalow."

……

Zhang Heping didn't talk about what happened in No. 7 Courtyard when he returned home. Anyway, his mother Ma Xiuzhen was not here and no one checked his accounts.

The key is that before this matter is settled, it is easy to be tricked.

Another thing is, after moving, I have to think about what to do with the east wing of the front yard and the two wing rooms.

That night, Zhang Heping prepared tools and a skate rack, and grandma Xie Ermei went to the next door yard to borrow a 28-inch skateboard.

Early the next morning, Zhang Heping took his two sisters to Kunming Lake to play.

The two sisters were skating nearby, and Zhang Heping was fishing there, putting all the fish in sacks, no matter how big or small.

This fishing efficiency has improved, but the total price cannot be expected to increase.

There is no special selection of big fish to raise the price. One car with two sacks of small fish can be sold for 80 yuan at most!

No, 4 sacks in the morning and 4 sacks in the afternoon. Director Qi not only oversaw the task, but also received 202 yuan back from the steel rolling mill's finance department.

On the third day, Zhang Heping sent two sacks of fish to Director Wang's office to express his loyalty, claiming that his father and cousin would still set up a stall here, and asked Director Wang to take more care of Yunyun...

On the fourth day, all 8 sacks were sold to a canteen in the steel rolling mill. There was only more than 30 yuan left to fill the savings hole at home.

The fifth day, January 1st.

If the two sisters hadn't been able to hold on any longer, Zhang Heping wouldn't have gone to the Houhai Subdistrict Office to find someone to repair Courtyard No. 7.

"Ignore the rest, this store must be on par with the one on the left!"

"Look up, do you want to demolish the back room?"

"How much does it cost to knock down this small courtyard and rebuild a three-story building?"

……

That afternoon, Zhang Heping ran to the library and read books on architecture, mechanics, indigenous steelmaking, and indigenous cement production.

While he was thinking about how to renovate the No. 7 courtyard, he was pushing the cart back to the No. 95 courtyard. Yan Bugui, the gatekeeper on the left, stopped Zhang Heping and mysteriously handed over a piece of paper with a line of writing on it.

Dongcheng. No. 33 Qitiao Hutong. 3 bungalows. Price: 390 yuan.

Zhang Heping glanced at the words on the note and returned it, "No money!"

This price is dozens of dollars more expensive than the market price!

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is, he now has a sea-view room, which is inferior to the cramped bungalows in the city.

However, when Zhang Heping returned home and his grandmother Xie Ermei took out a dozen small notes with the address and selling price, Zhang Heping felt that the matter had changed.

Zhang Heping frowned and asked, "Grandma, did you just say that these notes were given to you by different people?"

……

"Third uncle, what was the reaction of the Zhang family brat when he saw the house sale information?"

"He said he had no money!" Yan Bugui took off his glasses and wiped the lenses slowly.

What he didn't tell Silly Zhu and Yi Zhonghai was that he only gave one note to Zhang Heping, and the other dozen were given to Zhang's grandma by others.

Those notes were all in his handwriting. Zhang Heping must have understood his potential intentions and should have expressed his intentions afterwards.

"How come he has no money!" Silly Zhu said angrily: "That boy sold fish to a canteen a few days ago."

As soon as he heard about selling fish, Yan Bugui became interested, "Sinzhu, have you found out why Zhang Heping can sell fish to a canteen? Didn't you report him for selling fish to a canteen? How come nothing happened to him?"

Yi Zhonghai said dissatisfied: "You can talk about selling fish later. Lao Yan, do the Zhang family want to buy a house?"
