Siheyuan: I just want to live

The next morning, Master Lei came to find Chen Feng in the courtyard with the blueprints.

Early in the morning, Chen Feng was about to go out for a walk in the yard. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Master Lei standing at the door. He hurriedly greeted him with a smile and invited Master Lei into the main room.

As soon as Master Lei walked into the main room, he couldn't wait to take out the simple blueprint he had drawn last night from his bag without even drinking a sip of water. He carefully spread the blueprint on the eight-immortal table, and then enthusiastically explained the design ideas to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng listened carefully to Master Lei's explanation and found that his design plan was almost exactly the same as what he had asked yesterday. He nodded with satisfaction to show his approval.

When Master Lei saw Chen Feng nodded in agreement, he asked, "Then Boss, should we start the construction according to this drawing?"

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, and recalled some new ideas for house decoration when he returned to the courtyard yesterday afternoon. He felt that these ideas could make the house more comfortable and practical.

So he said to Master Lei: "Master Lei, I have a few ideas. First of all, I think there is no need to build a wood stove in the kitchen. We can just install a liquefied petroleum gas stove. This is both convenient and clean."

"Secondly, don't build a brick wall between the dining room and the main hall of the main house. Instead, use a beam structure. Just build a flower wall between the two rooms as a partition."

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Master Lei took another quick look at the drawings, then said to Chen Feng, "Boss, there is no problem with this. What else do you want to tell me?"

Seeing him ask this, Chen Feng smiled and shook his head and said, "Master Lei, there is nothing else to say, but I just don't know how much the total cost of decorating this yard is?"

When Master Lei heard Chen Feng ask this, he quickly took out another notebook from his bag, turned to a page, pointed at the data on it and said to Chen Feng: "Boss, we didn't use any precious wood for this renovation, so it's much cheaper."

"Well! If you add the ingredients for the artificial food, it will cost a little over a thousand yuan." Master Lei said to Chen Feng while looking at the notebook.

After saying that, he handed the notebook to Chen Feng to take a look. Chen Feng took it, glanced at it, and then returned it to Master Lei.

After returning the notebook to Master Lei, Chen Feng nodded and said, "Okay, Master Lei, please wait a moment, I'll go get the money for you!"

After saying that, Chen Feng stood up and prepared to go upstairs to get the money.

When Master Lei heard Chen Feng say this, he quickly said, "Boss, please do as you please! I won't be in the way!"

So Chen Feng left Master Lei in the main room downstairs, and he quickly walked up the stairs to the second floor.

It is said to be going upstairs to get the money, but in fact it is just to go upstairs to find a place where no one is, take the money out of the space, and then give it to Master Lei.

Chen Feng walked into the bedroom, closed the door, and after making sure that there was no one around, he quickly opened the space ring, took out a stack of brand new big unity bills, and then counted out one thousand yuan.

After confirming that everything was correct, Chen Feng walked out of the bedroom, went downstairs to the main room, and handed the money to Master Lei.

After going downstairs, Chen Feng came to the main room and saw Master Lei drinking water. He walked over, handed the 1,000 yuan in cash to Master Lei, and said with a smile: "Master Lei, this is 1,000 yuan, you take it first, and we will settle the balance after the yard is renovated."

When Master Lei heard what Chen Feng said, he immediately stopped drinking water, stood up quickly, smiled, and replied: "Okay, I'll listen to the boss!"

After saying that, he reached out and took the money that Chen Feng handed over, and then began to count it carefully.

Chen Feng stood aside, watching Master Lei counting the money with a smile, without saying a word, thinking to himself: This Master Lei is quite cautious, but it’s better this way, to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.

After a while, Master Lei finished counting the money, raised his head, and said to Chen Feng: "Boss, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!"

Chen Feng heard his words, waved his hands, and responded with a smile: "What's so funny about this? After all, it's a matter of money, it's better to clarify some things to avoid disputes in the future!"

Master Lei nodded to show his understanding. He felt that although the boss Chen Feng was young, he was very reasonable and did things in a way that made people feel comfortable.

After Master Lei packed the money, Chen Feng walked to the wall where the schoolbag was hanging, took out the key to the courtyard, and handed it to Master Lei.

Then he said, "Then you take the key first. I'll trouble you to find the materials. I don't understand anything, and I won't go to the construction site to trouble you!"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Master Lei nodded and responded: "Okay, Boss. Please rest assured that I will handle this matter. I promise to do it properly for you!"

Then, Master Lei seemed to suddenly remember something and asked hurriedly, "By the way, Boss, you plan to renovate the yard. Have you reported it to the steel plant or the street office?"

"If you haven't been there yet, you'd better hurry up. This way, we can save a lot of unnecessary trouble when decorating."

After hearing this, Chen Feng suddenly realized that he had indeed forgotten about this matter. So he quickly replied: "I will go and handle the relevant procedures right away. It shouldn't delay your construction progress, right?"

Master Lei waved his hand and consoled him, "Boss, that's not a problem. Today we're just moving some construction materials. But you still have to report as soon as possible to avoid any problems later."

After hearing his words, Chen Feng nodded. When Master Lei saw Chen Feng nod, he knew that Chen Feng understood, so he proposed this trip to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng did not try to keep him, but just sent him out of the courtyard.

After seeing Master Lei off, Chen Feng returned to the main room and sat down, secretly sighing in his heart: Although this renovation did not cost much, it made the yard look brand new and became more comfortable and livable.

Once the decoration is completed, my family can move in and enjoy a quiet home without neighborhood disputes.

After sitting in the hall for a while, Chen Feng's mind was full of thoughts and he remembered many things. After a while, he stood up, walked to the wall, put on his schoolbag, and then took out the envelope that Hou Debang had given him along with the key to the courtyard.

Speaking of which, Chen Feng has not yet carefully checked what is in the envelope.

I guess these should be the relevant certification documents for the house allocated to me, right?

Thinking of this, Chen Feng couldn't wait to take out the envelope, gently opened it, and examined it carefully.

Sure enough, there was a certificate of house allocation in the envelope, but in addition to that, there was something else that Chen Feng did not expect - a house transfer certificate!

Chen Feng looked at the two pieces of paper and suddenly understood why Section Chief Feng was so excited that day.

It turned out that this was not just a simple housing allocation. Even Chen Feng could see how much Hou Debang might have to pay for this allocation plan.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng scratched his head helplessly. Forget it, don't think about it anymore. Anyway, too many lice won't itch, and too many debts won't worry. I owe Hou Debang a favor, I can pay it back later!

So Chen Feng pushed his bicycle outside. After leaving the courtyard, Chen Feng rode his bicycle towards the Xinjiekou Street Office.

Since the house has been transferred to me, I don’t need to go to the steel plant to get a certificate. I can go directly to the Xinjiekou Street Office to return the property certificate and report it.

Soon, Chen Feng arrived at the door of Xinjiekou Street Office.

Chen Feng parked his bicycle, then walked to the gatehouse and asked the gatekeeper, "Hello, comrade, who should I contact to report the renovation of the house and apply for the property certificate at the street office?"

The old comrade who was guarding the door glanced at Chen Feng, and then said, "After you go in, just go to the southernmost room in the middle courtyard to find Xiao Liu!"

After hearing what the old comrade said, Chen Feng nodded and said, "Thank you, old comrade! I'll go in then!"

The old comrade ignored Chen Feng and just waved at him, indicating that he could go in.

Seeing this, Chen Feng no longer hesitated and walked inside.

After entering the street office and walking to the middle courtyard, Chen Feng went straight to the house south of the east wing.

Walking to the door, Chen Feng looked at the office door which was not closed. He looked inside and found four young people working inside.

So Chen Feng knocked on the door frame and said, "Excuse me, who is Comrade Liu who handles the property transfer?"

Hearing the sound of Chen Feng knocking on the door, everyone in the room looked up at the door.

After hearing what Chen Feng said, one of the young men in his twenties stood up and said to Chen Feng, "Comrade, I am the Xiao Liu you are looking for, Liu Peng."

Chen Feng heard what he said, so he walked into the office, came to Liu Peng's office, and said, "Comrade Liu, I'm Chen Feng, I just joined the steel plant, and the factory allocated me a yard. Today I'm here to transfer the ownership and report the renovation!"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Liu Peng raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "He destroyed a whole yard right after he entered the factory. It seems that this Comrade Chen Feng must be a leader in the steel factory!"

However, Liu Peng did not care much about it. After all, Chen Feng was the leader of the steel plant, not the leader of their street office. He was not afraid because he could not be imprisoned.

So Liu Peng said calmly, "Comrade Chen Feng, right? You have brought all the materials, right? Give them to me and I will help you!"

When Chen Feng heard him say that, he quickly handed all the materials in his schoolbag to Liu Peng.

After Liu Peng took the materials, he looked through them and found no problems. He then said to Chen Feng, "Comrade Chen Feng, there is no problem with the materials. Wait for me here. I will go and get the property certificate for you. I will be back soon!"

Hearing his words, Chen Feng nodded and said, "Comrade Liu, just do your thing and don't worry about me."

When Liu Peng heard Chen Feng say this, he nodded, then took the materials and went out.

After Liu Peng went out, Chen Feng also walked out of the office, stood at the door, smoking and waiting for Liu Peng to come back.
