The Great Era of Siheyuan

"I have something else to do later, so I won't be able to go home for dinner. You can eat first, and don't wait for me like you did yesterday. Do you understand? You can keep this money."

After dinner, Li Wenqiang said to Liu Yuhua.

"Okay, got it! You have to be careful!"

Liu Yuhua’s greatest strength was that she never asked him what he was doing. When she heard him say that, she didn’t ask a single question other than caring about his safety.

"Keep this money for yourself. If it's not enough, come back and ask me for it!"

Li Wenqiang took out a file bag from her arms, which contained the money for vegetables given to Beimo Factory yesterday. Two thousand yuan was enough for her to use for a long time.

"Where did you get so much money? I don't want it. I haven't even used the money you gave me last time!"

After Liu Yuhua opened the file bag and took a closer look, she was immediately shocked. Inside were bundles of large black money, three bundles in total, which made her dizzy.

"Of course I made some money. I'm doing business outside now. You can keep some of the money and save the rest. Don't let anyone come in and steal it!"

Li Wenqiang carefully reminded that although the Thief's Stick was gone, the Thief's ancestor Sha Zhu was still there! As the cook who taught the Thief, who knew what bad ideas he would come up with.

If she wasn't given the money, she would have to work too hard to make money. Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru had both received so many benefits, not even Elena was left out. It would be inappropriate not to give it to her as the main wife.

"Well, I'll save the money first and save it up later to buy a house in the future!"

Liu Yuhua hid the money in her arms and said nervously.

"No need to save, I still have money! I'll give you a surprise in a few days!"

Two thousand yuan may seem like a lot, but books are not cheap. If Liu Yuhua buys a few more foreign books, the money will be gone in no time.

Li Wenqiang put down his bowl and chopsticks and spoke to her again.

"I'm done eating. I'm going to take a nap. You can take the corn to mom later, and then come back to rest!"

After saying this, Li Wenqiang lay down on the bed, stretched comfortably, and fell into a sound sleep.

It’s really nice to live without having to work hard. Just sleep and eat every day. It’s so comfortable.

When Liu Yuhua finished her meal and left, Li Wenqiang had already fallen asleep.

When he woke up, it was already three or four in the afternoon. Liu Yuhua had already left, and he didn't know whether she had returned at noon. He was the only one in the room.

Li Wenqiang stretched, washed up, and prepared to go to the scrap yard. It had been so long, and he should hurry up to get the business license, otherwise he would be in a hurry and run into problems again.

Walking on the familiar road, even though it has only been a dozen days, I have become a completely different person.

"Laojiu, you are slacking off again. Aren't you afraid that your boss will see you and ask you to write a self-criticism?"

Li Wenqiang greeted Lao Jiu at the door as he did before and handed him a cigarette.

"Oh, who was I thinking? It's you, kid. How come you have time to come here today?"

Lao Jiu took the cigarette and asked with a smile.

"Come over to find our Station Master Liu. Is she here? I have something to ask her!"

Li Wenqiang said casually and helped him light the cigarette.

"What do you think? When have you ever seen Fatty Zhou still here at this time before? If you want to find her, go to her house!"

Lao Jiu took the fire and took a delicious sip.

"Well, it was a wasted trip! Let me tell you something. I am planning to set up a construction team recently. We will do some house-building work. We will provide food and require skilled workers. If you have comrades who are in financial difficulties, you can introduce them to me. I will give you three places. We will tell you the exact monthly salary later."

After Li Wenqiang finished speaking, he looked at Lao Jiu with interest to see how he would react! He was casting a wide net now. As long as there was someone who could get in touch with the military or the armed forces, he wouldn't mind taking a few job positions to test it out. What if there were a few people who had some connections?

To be honest, those who are able to stay in Beijing after demobilization are, except for a few lucky ones, most of them have connections, otherwise they would have been asked to return to their hometowns long ago.

When Lao Jiu heard what Li Wenqiang said, his eyes lit up and he asked doubtfully.

"Seriously? You're not lying to me?"

"Of course, but I only want people with skills, veterans, or family members!"

Li Wenqiang said with certainty.

"Well, you have a lot of potential now! Aren't three too few? How about I help you find a few more? Don't be afraid, I know a lot of people!"

Lao Jiu said happily.

"We don't need that many people for now. I've given 30 jobs to the security department of the steel mill to let them handle the materials and other issues. I'll tell you when we can expand the recruitment when things are on track."

Li Wenqiang waved his hand and directly rejected his request. If he could demonstrate extremely high value, he certainly wouldn't mind supporting more people. Anyway, this amount of money was not much for him.

However, the value he has shown now is not worth too much of his effort. If it has no value, he might as well go directly to the Veterans Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to gain some favorability.

"Okay then! How can I find you when I find someone?"

Lao Jiu said with some regret.

"Just find my brother-in-law. Okay, I'm going to find Stationmaster Liu!"

After saying this, Li Wenqiang rode his bicycle towards Liu Li's house.

Arriving at the end of Fangzhuanchang Hutong, Li Wenqiang knocked on the door of an inconspicuous small courtyard.

"Is Stationmaster Liu home?"

After calling several times, hurried footsteps were heard from inside, the door was suddenly opened, and Liu Li looked at him with surprise.

"Xiao Qiang, you finally remembered me? Come in quickly!"

"How dare you! You think you can call me Xiaoqiang? Call me Brother Qiang!"

Li Wenqiang's body shook first, and his domineering aura overflowed, which made Liu Li's heart aroused. Then she asked secretly.

"Is there anyone else at your house?"

"No, I'm alone, come in!"

Liu Li said this shyly and pulled him inside.

"Don't be impatient, slow down!"

Li Wenqiang said "go slow" and after looking around to make sure no one was paying attention, he went in quickly, locked the door, left the car behind, and pulled her into the house.

"You're a woman, why are you so impatient? Can't you learn to be more reserved like me?"

Before Li Wenqiang finished speaking, he had already skillfully undressed her.

Liu Li looked at him shyly and spoke softly.

"I just missed you!"

"Forget it today, but don't do it again next time!"

After giving the warning, Li Wenqiang pounced on him. No matter what happened, he had to serve the leader first!

"Ah~!"

Liu Li made a satisfied sound.

……

Two hours later, Li Wenqiang was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, while Liu Li was cooking for him with a happy face.

"Xiao Li, stir-fry some meat. I'm not used to eating too much vegetarian food. Also, let me ask you, are you corrupt? The specifications of your house are a bit over the standard!"

Li Wenqiang looked at the layout outside the door. Although this two-entry courtyard house was not a complete courtyard house, it was at least more than 600 square meters, which was seriously oversized for her.

根据1958年5月16日市委对市房地产管理局党组《关于私人出租房屋进行社会主义改造的计划的批示》明确规定：“改造起点暂以15间（225平房公尺）以上为宜。”

This was an important policy boundary for private housing renovation in Beijing. But less than 6 days later, on June 4, the Municipal Private Housing Renovation Leading Group issued the “Regulations on Several Specific Policy Issues for Socialist Renovation of Private Rental Housing”, which changed the starting point for renovation to: 225 rooms or 15 square meters. The word “enough” changed the -room renovation starting point policy stipulated by the Municipal Party Committee to a renovation without a starting point.

It changed from "starting" to "enough". The meaning is very different with just one word. I don't know how many times the scope of the renovation has been expanded. With the current housing area of ​​her family, it will have to be renovated several times at least.
