Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

After Jiang Weimin left, Liu Guozheng called a meeting for all the villagers and explained the matter to all the villagers. After all, this was closely related to them.

After discussion, it was decided that the three accountants would be divided into three groups, and each group must stay for four months.

Group 1: Liu Guozheng, Lou Xiaoe, Li Dabao, January to April. Lou Xiaoe was responsible for accounting, while Liu Guozheng and Li Dabao were responsible for selling things.

The second group: the third child, Chen Xiaolan, Xu Damao, May-August. Chen Xiaolan is an accountant.

The third group: Erlang, Li Xiujuan, and Li Xiangdong, from September to December. Li Xiujuan is an accountant. Considering that the children of both families are young, they are scheduled to the end of the year.

Delivery team: Xu Fang, Han Zhang (new robot).

Except for the delivery team, the other three groups of personnel can be replaced at any time.

This is the initial experimental stage. Once it becomes gradually formalized, we will recruit an appropriate number of people. It is so comfortable to live in Hope New Village. Erlang and his friends don’t want to stay in the city forever.

The next day, Jiang Weimin drove a jeep to Hope New Village on time and took Liu Guozheng, Erlang and Lao San to the East District of Sijiu City.

It's so strange that I looked at several streets in a row but couldn't find a suitable place.

Only on Hongxing Street, which is the Nanluoguxiang area, not far from No. 95 Courtyard, there is a suitable two-courtyard compound. However, the houses in the courtyard have collapsed severely and all need to be demolished and rebuilt.

There is no other way. This is the only yard we have right now, so we have to make do with what we have.

Liu Guozheng shook his head when he saw this, after all he still had to deal with the beasts in the courtyard.

Perhaps this is the corrective power of the courtyard world.

After the location was determined, Dongcheng District, the Street Office, and Xiwang New Village finally signed an agreement. This was just a draft agreement, and there will be a formal agreement after Jiang Weimin officially takes office.

Regarding the reconstruction issue, Liu Guozheng put forward his own opinion. The front yard, which is usually called the back house, will have large movable windows at half the height of a person, and will be used as a storefront in the future. The second courtyard will be built normally, with three main rooms and four side rooms in the main house, and three side rooms in the east and west.

Of course, there must also be toilets and showers. I hope that the people in the new village will not get used to the public toilets here.

The task of building the house was given to the construction team affiliated with the street office. After discussing all the matters, Jiang Weimin drove Liu Guozheng and the other two back to Hope New Village.

The next period of time is to wait for the house. Before leaving, Jiang Weimin said that he would pay attention to the progress of the house when he has time and would call as soon as it is built.

The installation work of telephone in Hope New Village is also in progress. It will not take long. Once the houses are built, Hope New Village will definitely have telephone access.

Time always slips away inadvertently. In the blink of an eye, two months had passed and it was New Year's Day 1961.

It is also the day when the Hope New Village Office is officially established.

The signs had been written long ago, just like the plaques erected at the entrance of government agencies. There were three plaques in total with big red flowers hanging on them, and they read: Hope New Village Dongcheng District Office.

A cooperative unit of Hongxing Subdistrict Office.

Dongcheng District Government Cooperation Unit.

The crackling sound of firecrackers echoed throughout the alley, attracting a large number of residents from the surrounding areas.

They asked people around them if they knew where this Hope New Village was. It was amazing that a village had set up an office in Dongcheng District.

At the same time, he has the endorsement of Director Zhang from the Street Office and the new secretary of the district, so his background is not ordinary.

When they heard that the office provided a certain amount of beef, mutton, pork and fish every day and that no tickets were required, they became excited.

This is a good thing for the residents nearby. Most of their families are employees of nearby factories. They are not short of money, but they are short of tickets, especially meat tickets.

Due to the current serious disaster situation, fresh meat has not been seen on the market for a long time. Even canned meat cannot be bought even if you have a ticket most of the time.

I didn’t expect that life is full of surprises.

An inconspicuous village office actually sells meat.

This new secretary has really done a good thing for the people.

"Am I seeing things? How can that fish be so big? It must weigh 15 to 20 pounds."

"Old Li, your judgment is not good. This fish weighs at least ten kilograms."

"And pork? That's pork belly, right? The three layers of pork belly are so tempting just looking at it."

"Great, there are still big bones for sale. Poor people like us can also taste the meat. It would be nice to have a pot of bone soup."

"This office is really good. The Chinese New Year is only a month and a half away, so we won't have to worry about buying meat this year."

"Haha, no worries? What are you thinking? Do you think that the people who come to buy meat will be from this area?"

"That's true, but it's still good for us. After all, we live here and can come earlier."

"What Lao Wang said makes sense."

"How about buying two ounces of meat today to try?"

"You are such a stingy person. You don't even want a ticket and won't buy half a catty."

"..."

It’s all fun to watch the fun, but you can’t eat if you don’t pay.

Those who had money on them immediately decided to buy two kilograms and take them home to improve their meals.

If you don’t have much money, you can buy big bones. Bones are cheap and have a lot of meat on them. After eating, you can sell the bones for money, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

Those who didn't bring any money ran home as fast as they could, fearing that they would come back too late and not be able to buy meat.

As time went by, there was less and less meat, but more and more people, which was something Liu Guozheng had not expected at first.

Fortunately, Liu Guozheng had made sufficient preparations, and the third brother and Chen Xiaolan came along, and Wenxiu, who was unemployed at home, also came to help, so they were able to barely handle the work.

It was not until He Yushui joined them after school that Liu Guozheng and Li Dabao had time to rest.

"Oh, Master Jia hasn't been home for a year, and there's actually a butcher shop here? It's just in time for him to come back today."

The man had a dark face, probably from working frequently and getting tanned. He had a shaved head and was carrying a package. He squeezed into the crowd to see what kind of meat was for sale.

"Liu Guozheng?"

As soon as I squeezed in, I saw that smiling face. I will never forget it. It was this guy who sent me in.

"Ok?"

Liu Guozheng seemed to hear someone calling his name, and looked up and saw - damn, Jia Dongxu?
