Break out of the courtyard

Because Zhang Heping talked too much, Old Liu was let out at Old Man Liu's insistence and under the medical advice given by Dr. Zhao to return for consultation once every three days.

Leave the fruit behind, it’s quiet now!

However, a new problem came again. There was no guard, Xiao Zhang, guarding the door. His valuables were placed in the closet, so he was distracted.

As the saying goes, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens...

In the morning, my grandma and second sister Zhang Pandi came all the way to ask questions. Mother Ma Xiuzhen and eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi followed behind and did not help the whole process, so they arrived a little late.

During the day, Zhang Pandi stayed with her father and enjoyed the hospital meals.

Back in the courtyard, Zhang Heping returned the marching kettle to the third uncle.

Perhaps Yan Bugui had become addicted to fishing recently. Kunming Lake was in danger, so he invited Zhang Heping to Houhai to catch two buckets of small fish.

Then he took Zhang Heping to the east wing of the front yard and gave a bucket of fish to Lao Chen's family, about fifteen fish.

At noon, Zhang Heping, his grandmother, mother, and eldest sister went to the No. 3, No. 36, and No. canteens of the steel rolling mill. Each person bought steamed buns at a time, and they bought buns at once. They were all flattened and put into a white cloth bag.

Let’s have dinner again, pack some pickled mustard and the like in a lunch box, and bring a kettle, and that’s pretty much it.

For other things, keep the money tickets with you as a backup in case something happens.

After dinner, the third uncle Yan Bugui called Lao Chen to the backyard and took Zhang Heping to the street office.

Then, Zhang Heping gained a new understanding of the influence of the title "Uncle" in the courtyard and the street office.

In the past, my mother, Ma Xiuzhen, often came to the sub-district office to pick up matchboxes and even delivered fish a few times. She must be quite familiar with the sub-district office!

In fact, it was not the case. When Zhang Heping followed his mother, Ma Xiuzhen, to go through the settlement procedures with a childcare worker's work permit and a letter of introduction from the kindergarten, he realized that Ma Xiuzhen was not familiar with the people here.

She only recognized two people, one was Xiao Lin, the clerk who was responsible for distributing matchboxes, and the other was Sister Du, the clerk who issued corresponding tickets based on the food supply book and non-staple food book.

When the third uncle, Yan Bugui, came to the subdistrict office, many people greeted him. When he met those who didn't say hello, Yan Bugui would smile and say hello, and the other party would nod in response.

Yanbu Gui found a clerk who was familiar with the family and told them about the situation of the Zhang family and Lao Chen's family.

Then, the clerk reviewed the household registration information of the two renters and issued a new rental contract for the east wing of the front yard, starting on February 1962, 2.

Finally, Yan Bugui rented two street-facing penthouses next to the east wing of the front yard in the names of Third Aunt and Yan Jiecheng, and gave the keys to Zhang Heping.

By the way, the neighborhood office has to lock the door, so why doesn’t Yi Zhonghai let someone lock the door?

Another thing I want to talk about is why the side room facing the street is a side room and not an inverted room.

The main door of this courtyard opens on the north-south central axis. Standing outside the main door, you can see the second door and the main door of the central courtyard.

It is said that this courtyard used to be the courtyard within the palace. After the palace fell into decline, it was split, new courtyards were built in the left and right gardens, and an alley gradually formed outside the door.

With two penthouses facing the street, Zhang Heping couldn't bear the small penthouse in the northeast corner of the backyard, so he hurried back to move!

Grandma and the others came out after hearing the news. Mother Ma Xiuzhen first went to thank the third uncle Yan Bugui, and then the two families took a look at the two penthouses together.

The penthouse on the right by the gate has no earthen kang. After opening the door and entering, the first thing you notice is how big it is. It is more than twice as big as the penthouse in the northeast corner of his backyard.

For this reason, Zhang Heping wondered whether his father, Zhang Bing, had offended someone from the subdistrict office when he was assigned a room.

In the wing room on the left next to the east wing, there is an earthen kang under the window on the left side of the entrance. A firewood stove was set up outside the window more than one meter away from the east wing. The openings of the earthen kang in the left and right rooms are on both sides of the stove.

The advantage is, it’s big! My mother, Ma Xiuzhen, said that these two rooms are enough to live in.

The disadvantage is that there are no windows on the street side and there is no furniture in the house.

Overall, you only need to clean it briefly and burn the kang before you can move in.

The third aunt enthusiastically arranged a few burning firewood sticks and put them into the earthen kang in the left side room to burn the fire. Then she picked up the feather duster and came over to help clean it.

Lao Chen from the east wing also invited Zhang Heping and his family to take a look at the east wing. The east wing was as big as the two wing rooms next door, which made Zhang Heping very satisfied.

At the same time, I believe even more that his boss Zhang offended the person who organized the housing allocation in the street. This person can make people more angry than others. Look at how big other people’s houses are!

Finally, with Yan Bugui's help, Zhang Heping and Yan Bugui borrowed 108 yuan to buy old furniture such as tables, chairs, benches, cabinets, and an old sewing machine from Lao Chen's house, and signed a transaction details, so as not to There was less to argue with on the day of handover.

In this way, Lao Chen and his family can travel to other places lightly on February 2.

His mother, Ma Xiuzhen, had objections to spending so much money at once, but Zhang Heping said that the money would not come from his mother. He would cooperate with the third uncle to sell fish in the future and gradually deduct it when the time comes.

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, had no objection to this, so Ma Xiuzhen stopped talking. Under the introduction of the Chen family's sister-in-law, Ma Xiuzhen happily tried out the sewing machine and imagined making clothes for her family in the future.

After grandma and the others finished cleaning, the Zhang family began to move.

Even though the northeast corner of the room where the Zhang family lived was small, it was only after I started moving things that I realized that there were a lot of things hidden in the room. As the saying goes, a broken house is worth a million dollars.

However, what made Zhang Heping feel helpless was that the bed plank he used to sleep on and the bricks used to support the plank were also moved over, and a bed plank was built in the side room on the right. The bed was full of sundries.

Zhang Heping couldn't persuade him, so he could only buy back the wooden frame bed and replace the bed board in the future.

The iron pot on the firewood stove outside the window disappeared somewhere. Her mother, Ma Xiuzhen, went to the hospital and took two industrial coupons issued by the kindergarten this month, as well as 117 yuan. She first spent 6 yuan and two industrial coupons. I bought a big iron pot and put it on the wood stove.

Then, he counted out 108 yuan and gave it back to the third uncle, Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui didn't expect that Ma Xiuzhen could come up with so much money, so he subconsciously took it.

"Comrade Ma Xiuzhen!"

Looking at the only 3 yuan left in his mother Ma Xiuzhen's hand, Zhang Heping became angry. This was a serious distrust of him, even though more than half of the more than yuan was given to his mother by Zhang Heping.

"Do you know what you are doing?" Zhang Heping said angrily: "You have paid back all the money, and now that you are debt-free, you feel better, right?"

"Let me ask you, do you want to go back to the countryside and change your household registration? Do you want to transfer your eldest sister and second sister to another school? How much money do you have left to do these things? Do you know that time waits for no one!"

"Can you learn from the Third Master and think more about your family before doing anything?"

"Zhang Heping!" Yi Zhonghai appeared out of nowhere and said to Zhang Heping in a stern tone: "How did you talk to your mother? There are all parents in the world, you..."

"What are you!" Zhang Heping turned around and put his hands on his hips, confronting Yi Zhonghai, "Master, my mother didn't ask for donations from the whole hospital. Have you returned the donations to everyone?"

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, said that the donation was not refunded. He was very unhappy with every donation suggestion made by Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai's eyelids twitched, and facing the questioning looks of several people around him, Yi Zhonghai quickly explained:

"The donation was not registered. I didn't know who donated how much, so I just donated it all to the Jia family."

Zhang Heping stopped talking to Yi Zhonghai, turned to his mother Ma Xiuzhen, and said seriously:

"Mom, I'll give you a chance. If you can take out ten yuan now, you will still be in charge of the money in the future. If you can't take it out, I will take care of the money in this family from now on!"

After waiting for a few seconds, Zhang Heping saw Ma Xiuzhen standing at the door of her new home with red cheeks and saying nothing, holding the 3 yuan tightly with both hands.

Zhang Heping sighed, turned around and walked to the third uncle Yan Bugui and said:

"Third uncle, I'm kidding you. I'm borrowing 50 this time. My family really needs it urgently!"
