Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Naturally, there are people who agree and there are people who oppose. Those who agree are naturally those who know the situation of the machinery factory. They are very clear about the status of the machinery factory in the Ministry of Machinery, and they also know the status of Zhou Tian in the hearts of the leaders above.

Those who oppose it naturally have their reasons. After all, the Ministry of Machinery does not just manage a machinery factory, but is also concerned with the placement of employees in enterprises across the country.

If we approve the Ministry of Machinery's application to build residential buildings for family members, will other factories also apply? This will require a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

Even if the machinery factory uses its own profits, after all, among all the factories across the country, won’t there be other factories that will follow suit?

This is not something that can be solved with just one application, and they are more concerned about the overall situation.

But the reality is that the district government is simply powerless to accommodate the 30,000 veterans. If it does not agree to the machinery factory to build a family building, then how should these 30,000 people be accommodated?

As this question was raised, the entire meeting of the Ministry of Machinery fell silent. Even opponents did not dare to say that they could treat the resettlement of 30,000 retired soldiers as a trivial matter.

You know, these are 30,000 veterans, which is not a small number. Moreover, the machinery factory has accepted most of the veterans. If the arrangements are not made well, big problems will easily arise.

Finally, after discussion, the Ministry of Machinery decided to hand this issue over to the higher authorities to see how they would handle it, but overall, they still approved of the machinery factory's application.

As for the Ordnance Bureau, it goes without saying that it attaches great importance to the Machinery Factory. Moreover, this time the Machinery Factory is building a family building to accommodate 30,000 veterans. How could the Ordnance Bureau not agree?

Even the Ordnance Bureau approved the machinery factory's application immediately. After learning of the Ministry of Machinery's decision, the director of the Ordnance Bureau also reported his decision.

Soon, the news that the machinery factory was going to build a residential building for family members spread throughout the city at some point, even faster than the news that the machinery factory was attacked by enemy spies.

When they got home from get off work on Sunday, even Shen Yulin and Shen Jie asked this question.

"Dad, wife, this is true. Whether it can be built is still unclear!"

During the meal, Zhou Tian said to the two of them.

"So, Xiaotian, your machinery factory is really going to build a residential building for family members?"

At this time, the mother-in-law who was eating nearby became restless and put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and asked.

"Well, now it depends on whether the higher-ups agree. If they agree, we will start construction!"

In fact, there is nothing to hide about this matter. The matter of the family building was decided by him.

"Then as the factory director, can you get a house by then?"

Li Yuling's face suddenly lit up and she asked anxiously.

"What are you talking about? Xiaotian, as the factory director, you should endure hardships first and enjoy yourself later. Now the family housing has not been built yet, how can you say such a thing?"

Shen Jie was unhappy after hearing what his wife said. Although his position was not high, he still had some awareness. As the head of a factory, Zhou Tian should take the lead. Wouldn't his wife's words make his son-in-law make a mistake?

"What do you know? Living in an apartment is so fashionable now. Besides, Xiaotian is the director of the machinery factory. If he can't get an apartment, will the workers dare to live there? Besides, this is what Xiaotian deserves, why not?

Li Yuling glared at her husband and said with a somewhat proud tone.

"Mom, even if they build a family housing complex, I don't plan to take it!"

Zhou Tian spoke at this time, directly interrupting his mother-in-law's words.

"No, my God, why not? This is a building, it's so magnificent!"

Li Yuling suddenly became anxious and couldn't help asking.

"Mom, I actually think that living in a building is not as convenient as living in a courtyard house. Tell me, the building itself is small in area. Even if it is calculated as a three-bedroom and one-living room, it is only more than 100 square meters at most. It is much worse than a courtyard house. And our courtyard house has been renovated. Tell me how it is inferior to a building?"

Zhou Tian ignored his mother-in-law's feelings, but analyzed the pros and cons with her!

"Girl, my eldest grandson is right. Although the building sounds fashionable, it is indeed not as convenient as the courtyard house. I, an old woman, also think it is better to live in a courtyard house!"

Grandma also spoke at the right time.

"Yes, Mom. Actually, if we wanted to live in a building, when Xiaotian was the factory director, the higher-ups planned to allocate one to us. But in the end, Xiaotian and I both felt that living in a building was not as comfortable as living in a courtyard house, so we didn't take it!"

At this time, Shen Yulin suddenly said something that shocked Li Yuling.

"What? You silly girl, what did you say? The country was planning to allocate you an apartment, but you didn't want it?"

This time, Li Yuling's pretty face became even more anxious. She stood up and asked in a loud voice.

As soon as Shen Yulin heard what her mother said, she knew something was wrong. In fact, when she told this matter to others, she knew her mother would be angry. But now it seems that this is not just anger, but she is simply ready to eat someone.

In an instant, her beautiful eyes looked eagerly at her husband Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian naturally felt the request for help from his wife, and couldn't help but said in a gentle voice: "Mom, it's like this, didn't we want to live together as a family? Besides, there are only a few rooms in the building, and there is no room for everyone, so I gave it up!"

As Zhou Tian spoke, he also glanced at his father-in-law.

Unexpectedly, the father-in-law did not respond, as if he did not see Zhou Tian's eyes, and remained silent. This made Zhou Tian feel helpless and smiled bitterly.

"But, you guys are really wasting money. It's an apartment. That's an apartment!"

Mother-in-law Li Yuling looked at her daughter and then at her son-in-law. She didn't know what to say now.

After all, she knew how good her son-in-law was to her family. She wanted to say something, opened her mouth, but in the end she could only sigh and sit down again.

"Mom, don't be angry. Tell me, how are buildings better than courtyard houses? If it's really better, then I'll allocate one to myself. If you can't tell me, don't be angry!"

Seeing that his mother-in-law was still sulking, Zhou Tian could only speak up to persuade her.

"This this!"

When my mother-in-law heard this, she was about to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them at all. To be honest, she didn't believe that the building was better than the courtyard house they lived in now.

After thinking carefully for a long time, she couldn't come up with any reliable reasons. After all, people live in buildings because of their convenience, such as central heating and easy access to toilets.

But the Siheyuan also has these two things. What's more, the Siheyuan with two entrances designed by her son-in-law is even more convenient than a building in this respect. What should she say?

"Forget it, I am short-sighted, that's enough!"

After thinking about it, Li Yuling finally compromised, and the resentment in her heart dissipated a lot at once.
