Start to adjust the Siheyuan from Brickpai Yizhonghai

Chapter 50: Settlement Plan

The sun is still bright after get off work and it won’t be dark for a while.

At this time of year, it was not until 8 o'clock that it started to get dark. Wang Gensheng did not rush back to the courtyard, but waited for Sister Xu to get off work.

When he saw Xu Jie walking out of the office, Wang Gensheng walked up to him with a smile on his face and pretended to meet him by chance.

His deliberate look made Xu Jie chuckle: "You came to see me today, it seems that your rating and assessment results are good, right?"

With her talking to him, he shouldn't be misunderstood as a hooligan, right? Wang Gensheng took the opportunity to hand over two carrots and joked to Xu Jie, "With your blessing, Sister Xu, this assessment will be easy to pass."

Sister Xu had already acknowledged Wang Gensheng as her younger brother, so of course she was not polite to him. She took the carrot with one hand, slapped Wang Gensheng's hand in anger, and said:

"You little brat, you are so rude. What do you mean by my blessing? Your sister is still alive and well. If you curse Sister Xu again, I will get angry with you."

Wang Gensheng apologized immediately: "Look at my mouth, I said the wrong thing. Sister Xu, don't take it to heart."

"I knew you came to me for something, let's talk while we walk. As long as I can help you, I will help you out because you are so sensible."

Since Xu Jie was relieved, Wang Gensheng naturally took advantage of the situation.

He went straight to the point and told Xu Jie what Director Zhao had asked him to do, asking a calligraphy master for advice.

This surprised Xu Jie. He looked at Wang Gensheng with eyes wide open. "I never expected you to be such a good calligrapher. Director Zhao said you have the potential to become a calligrapher. It seems you have a lot of talent!"

These words made Wang Gensheng blush a little. He raised his hand embarrassedly and scratched the back of his head guiltily.

"Okay, you go back and wait for news on this matter. Sister Xu can't make the decision. I'll go back and ask my old man if he's willing to take you as his apprentice. If he has no objection, I'll find a chance to take you home to have a look."

Hearing this, Wang Gensheng hurriedly expressed his gratitude. It seemed that there was still hope for this matter.

In fact, Wang Gensheng didn’t know that Sister Xu’s family was indeed quite powerful and also a family of scholars.

During the ten-year gale period, the old man was also treated unfairly and was forced to move to the countryside to work.

He also suffered a lot of contempt from people, but when the storm passed, the old man was able to regain his composure and rise to prominence.

It’s a pity that Sister Xu was too outgoing and upright during the turbulent ten years and did not survive that period.

It was just by chance that Wang Gensheng, a little butterfly, intervened; I wonder if the fluttering of his little wings can bring about a turning point?

After returning to the courtyard, Qin Huairu faced a basin of dirty clothes and complained bitterly.

When I cleaned He Yuzhu's house on the first day, I found a lot of dirty clothes, even He Yuzhu's underwear.

I immediately realized that this was caused by Comrade He Yuzhu's physiological problem; then thinking about the treatment I had suffered last night, I felt a little sick for a moment.

Qin Huairu looked around furtively, and seeing that there was no one around, she threw it to the ground and stomped on it hard with her foot.

Hearing Wang Gensheng's clearing cough behind her, Qin Huairu immediately picked up the panties on the ground and hastily tucked them under the wooden basin like a frightened quail, pretending nothing had happened.

Just want to deal with it?

Wang Gensheng saw all of this, and said directly with a bad face: "Qin Huairu, I advise you to wash all the clothes and clean up the house. You are not the only one who can do the laundry. The third uncle's daughter-in-law is also waiting."

"You saw it last night. For the same price, Uncle Sanye's family was much more proactive than you."

These were all true, so Qin Huairu of course had nothing to say, she just snorted.

He stood up, picked up the basin, and walked towards the water pipe.

Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Gensheng opened the door of his room.

"Creak!" a sound.

Looking at my room again, I feel a little different today. Maybe it’s because my identity has changed a little, or maybe it’s because I have gained recognition from others in this world, which makes my mood suddenly become clear.

Although this house is not magnificent, it is made of green bricks and tiles and has an ancient charm. It will still be priceless after decades.

If you clean it up nicely, it will really look like a home, and then you can buy some furniture when you have money.

By marrying He Yushui, I can be considered to have integrated into this courtyard world.

The only thing that made me feel bad was seeing the toilet in the corner.

This is the only bad thing about this courtyard. To use the toilet, you either have to use a toilet bucket or go to the public toilet outside the door. Especially in the hot summer, the smell is really unbearable.

Wang Gensheng planned to build a toilet in his yard, but to do so, he had to discuss it with the deaf old lady and also had to add a small gate to the yard.

Otherwise, your own home will also become a public toilet!

That was not what he wanted. With this plan in mind, Wang Gensheng wanted to discuss it with the deaf old lady.

At that time, you will not only install a small courtyard gate, but also add a lock on the door, turning your home into a courtyard within a courtyard.

The more he thought about it, the more Wang Gensheng felt that there was hope in life.

But at this time, Qin Huairu heard another strange noise in the yard. It turned out that she was angry and stomped hard in the basin with her bare feet.

Doing laundry?

This is not a proper wash at all, she even stepped on it with her feet.

When Qin Huairu saw Wang Gensheng walking out of the house and pushing open the door, she was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red.

She was caught red-handed by Wang Gensheng again. When she was about to listen to Wang Gensheng's complaints again, she saw that Wang Gensheng ignored her at all, but turned around and went to the backyard through the corridor.

Qin Huairu let out a long sigh, hurriedly got out of the basin, wiped the water off her feet, put on her shoes, and started washing clothes.

The sky gradually darkened, and the deaf old lady's house was also dark. He Yuzhu was cooking in the dark.

"Old lady, why are you so reluctant to light the kerosene lamp? It's almost dark outside, and you can hardly see anyone in the house. Is it worth saving so much just for a little kerosene?"

"If you don't have enough money, Zhuzi and I can give you some more."

"What are you talking about, you little brat? I have a little money now, but I can't spend it all. I have food subsidies from the street, and there's nothing I need to buy. I have enough money to spend."

"I'm too lazy to move around at home alone, so there's no need to light a kerosene lamp. Now that you two are back, let's light it up so you don't say anything bad about me, the old lady."

After hearing this, how could Wang Gensheng still be polite to her?
