Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

"Zhengdong, do you know how much your aunt helped you this time? Especially in helping you get the advanced individual. There is a lot of consideration involved."

"Master, I know that the old lady has helped me a lot, but I really don't know what the details are about this advanced person. What's the point of this?" Sun Zhengdong asked puzzledly.

"What's the point?" Liang Quan laughed and pointed at Sun Zhengdong.

"You don't think that if you win the title of Advanced Individual, the factory will give you a big red flower, praise you, and finally give you an enamel mug, and that's it, right?"

If it were usual, Sun Zhengdong would definitely think, isn’t that the case!

But today, Master said that it would definitely not be that simple.

"Master, then please tell me! I really don't know."

"It's okay to tell you. This advanced individual will be recorded in the file. It may not be used at ordinary times, but if it involves promotion or welfare distribution, then it will be extremely valuable. Do you understand now?"

Sun Zhengdong knew nothing, but in order to cooperate with his master, he nodded.

Liang Quanfa didn't know whether his disciple understood it or not, but now that the matter was settled, he just let him do what he wanted!

"Okay, I've approved your leave. Also, don't forget to wash the lunch box for me."

"Okay, Master."

Looking at his apprentice who ran out happily with his lunch box, Liang Quan laughed and shook his head.

In the afternoon, as soon as the working hours arrived, Sun Zhengdong couldn't wait to go to the Housing Management Section and find a person in charge of the office - Secretary Zhang.

"Hello, comrade! I'm here to ask about housing allocation." As soon as he entered the room, Sun Zhengdong said politely and handed over a cigarette.

Secretary Zhang took the cigarette, put it on the table, and asked perfunctorily.

"Have you submitted a housing application report?"

"The report was sent to me a few days ago. I just wanted to ask when I can get a house?" Sun Zhengdong said truthfully.

"What?" Secretary Zhang frowned. "Are you making fun of me? Report approval requires a process. How can it be done so quickly? Go back and wait a little longer!"

"That's impossible! Comrade, my aunt told me that I can get a house this afternoon. I even took a leave for this purpose. How about you check it again?"

At this time, Zhang was already extremely impatient. Where did this young man come from? Did he know the rules?

"No, who is your aunt? You believe everything she says!"

After hearing this, Sun Zhengdong had already lost hope, but the child was honest and took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Comrade, my aunt is the director of the Women's Federation, Lin Wencui Lin. I am his nephew. She shouldn't lie to me."

Secretary Zhang was about to get angry, but when he heard Director Lin of the Women's Federation, he suddenly became enthusiastic and put on a smiling face again.

"Wait, you said Director Lin is your aunt, so you are Sun Zhengdong from the electrical department."

Although Sun Zhengdong didn't understand how this person knew him, he still nodded honestly.

"Hey! Brother, why didn't you just report your name earlier? Your housing allocation has already been arranged. Here, here is the letter of introduction. Take it to the street office and register it."

Seeing Secretary Zhang's completely different attitudes before and after, Sun Zhengdong took the letter of introduction with half belief and half doubt.

Before he had time to take a look, Officer Zhang took out another registration book.

"Brother, sign it, and these two rooms will be yours."

"Thank you, comrade."

After expressing his gratitude, Sun Zhengdong wrote his name on the register without thinking.

After signing his name, he picked up the letter of introduction and took a look at it. Unexpectedly, he was really dumbfounded.

Sun Zhengdong couldn't figure out no matter how hard he tried, he was assigned two rooms.

The addresses of these two houses are actually in the front yard of No. 95 courtyard house.

If he remembered correctly, the previous occupant of these two rooms was the expelled Yan Bugui!

However, Sun Zhengdong was not stupid enough to ask. Judging from the attitude of the staff member just now, it seemed that his auntie had helped a lot.

After getting the letter of introduction, Sun Zhengdong went straight to Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office and also went to the Housing Management Section to find the person in charge, Officer Wu.

Secretary Wu took the letter of introduction and immediately understood what was going on.

Because someone from the steel rolling mill had already made arrangements for these two rooms, they have been preserved until now.

Otherwise, the two rooms would be divided the day after Yan Bugui vacated the house.

Now that the real owner had arrived, Secretary Wu did not waste any time and started to register, and finally issued a certificate of occupancy.

With this certificate, you can exchange it for a real property certificate after the reform and opening up. Of course, no one knows this now.

"Comrade Sun Zhengdong, please keep this certificate. Also, keep these keys. We just replaced the lock, so it can be used now." Secretary Wu instructed one by one.

"Thank you! Comrade, does that mean that from now on, these two rooms will be mine?" Sun Zhengdong asked a little worriedly, as if he was dreaming.

"Yes, from now on, you can use it all the time, but you have to pay a fee of two dollars per month."

"Thank you!"

Sun Zhengdong didn't care about this small amount of money. He thanked him again, put away the certificate, and prepared to leave.

"and many more."

Hearing the staff calling him, Sun Zhengdong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Anything else, comrade?"

"Oh! That's right. According to regulations, we have to send someone to take you there and introduce you to the steward there to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

These are the responsibilities of the subdistrict office, so Director Wu must explain them clearly.

"Hehe! Comrade, you don't have to go through so much trouble. I am familiar with that hospital. The lady in charge there, Director Lin, is my aunt." Sun Zhengdong introduced with a smile.

After hearing what Sun Zhengdong said, Secretary Wu understood immediately and no longer insisted. They were all family, so there was no point in introducing them.

After leaving the neighborhood office, Sun Zhengdong had no plans to go back to the courtyard to look at the house. After all, the house didn't have legs, so how could it run away?

So he returned to the yard, just when his grandparents were taking care of the child. They were very curious to see their grandson come back so early.

"Zhengdong, why did you come back so early today? Don't you have to go to work?"

Sun Zhengdong took the daughter from his grandmother's hands, then took out the certificate from his pocket and handed it to his grandfather.

"Grandpa, I was allocated a house. It's in the same courtyard as my uncle's house, and it's across the street from them."

"What?" Grandpa quickly took the certificate and looked at it. Only after confirming it did he reveal a satisfied smile.

"How is it, old man? Is the house divided well?" Grandma was illiterate and could only ask anxiously from the side.

"Of course not. Do you remember the houses of Yan Bugui's family in that courtyard? Those two rooms."

"Ah~! Thanks to our ancestors' blessing, those two houses are really nice." Grandma said happily.

"Grandma, I don't know if the ancestors will bless us, but these two rooms are thanks to you, otherwise, it would be hard to even get a share of the house."

"Ah~!" Hearing his grandson say this, the grandfather sighed.

"You all owe the Dajiang family a favor, and you probably won't be able to repay it in this lifetime. So you should be more filial to your grandparents, and be more respectful to your eldest brother. Do you hear me?"

"Grandpa and grandma, don't worry, I will."

Sun Zhengdong said very solemnly.
