1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

That night, Wang Guifang, dragging her slightly tired body, finished a day's work and slowly returned from the factory with Li Dahe.

Li Dahe's face was filled with extreme joy that was difficult to conceal, and he seemed to be still immersed in the great surprise of being promoted to a regular employee and had not yet fully recovered.

Now he received rave reviews from the factory, making him feel as if the whole day was in a dream. He felt dizzy and his steps seemed a little light.

"Brother, I decided not to go back to Lijia Village tonight. I will go back early tomorrow morning and ask the village to issue a certificate and transfer my relationship to the city. After the formalities are completed, I will be a formal buyer of the steel rolling mill! This job can be passed down in the future, it's wonderful to think about it!"

Li Dahe spoke excitedly, his mouth wide open and his eyes sparkling, as if all the beauty in the world was waving to him enthusiastically.

Li Dajiang was delighted to see his brother so excited. He patted Li Dahe on the shoulder and encouraged him earnestly, "Dahe, this opportunity is hard-won. You must seize it and work hard. Don't let everyone down. Keep working hard!"

Li Dahe nodded vigorously, his eyes full of determination and confidence: "Brother, don't worry, I know what I am doing. With the channels in the black market and Weiguo's help, I have every confidence that I can do a good job and gain a firm foothold in the procurement department!"

"Haha...you're welcome! Buy more delicious food for the children in the future!" Li Dajiang heard his brother say this and laughed and teased Li Dahe.

"Don't worry, bro. I'll buy them delicious food when I get my salary!"

"That's pretty much it..."

"Oh... there will be delicious food in the future!" The children of the Li family were delighted.

When it was time to eat, the family sat around the dining table. The warm light illuminated the smiles on everyone's faces. Everyone ate happily, and laughter echoed in the house.

Seeing that everyone was in a good mood and the atmosphere was just right, Li Dajiang slowly brought up what Yi Zhonghai had proposed when he came over at noon.

The reason why he has delayed the matter until now and has not given an answer is that he wanted to hear his family's opinions first.

Li Weiguo put down his bowl and chopsticks and said seriously: "My second uncle will come to the city tomorrow to make connections, and he will definitely mention the housing issue.

Why don't we spend some money and use some connections to bring grandpa, grandma, second aunt and younger brothers to the city? This way, it will be easier to take care of the whole family. Besides, grandpa and grandma are getting old, so it's time for them to enjoy a peaceful life."

When Li Dajiang and Li Dahe heard Li Weiguo's proposal, their eyes instantly lit up with surprise, as if they saw a ray of hope in the darkness.

But soon, Li Dajiang frowned again and said worriedly: "It's a good idea, but we only have more than 200 yuan from selling wild boars and some bills. How much money should we ask the Jia family to buy a suitable house?"

For a moment, everyone fell silent. The air seemed to become heavy, and everyone felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on their heart.

At this time, Li Weiguo suddenly laughed, with a clever look in his eyes: "Since you don't know, we can ask!

Why not take some things now and go to Director Wang's house to ask around. We will definitely get twice the result with half the effort and can also be prepared in advance.

Or you can ask Section Chief Liu or Section Chief Ma. We absolutely cannot agree to this without thinking clearly."

Li Dajiang pondered for a moment and felt that what Li Weiguo said made sense, so he nodded: "Okay, let's do it!"

They acted immediately and after dinner, they quickly split into three groups.

Wang Guifang took a few multi-grain steamed buns and went to Director Wang's house with a nervous mood.

Wang Guifang stood in front of Director Wang's house, took a deep breath, tried to adjust her nervous mood, and then gently knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Director Wang's gentle voice came from the room.

"Director Wang, it's me, Guifang from the Li family." Wang Guifang tried her best to make her voice sound calmer.

The door opened, and Director Wang saw Wang Guifang, and immediately a friendly smile appeared on his face: "Hey, Guifang, come in quickly, come in, what are you doing standing at the door?"

Wang Guifang walked into the room, carefully placed the multi-grain steamed bun in her hand on the table, and said a little stiffly: "Director Wang, this is a little gift from me, please don't despise it."

Director Wang waved his hand quickly: "You came if you want to. What else do you want to bring? Tell me, Guifang, what's the important matter?"

Wang Guifang said quickly, "Director Wang, this is the case. My brother-in-law Dahe is going to be promoted to a permanent position, and this promotion requires a housing problem. You are knowledgeable and experienced, so I want to ask you, how much does it cost to buy a house in the city?"

Director Wang touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Guifang, it's hard to say whether you can buy a house. The higher authorities don't allow it, but you can give it as a gift. The price of the house depends on the location and size.

If the location is good and the house is big, the price will naturally be high.

If the location is a little off the beaten track and the house is a little smaller, it might be cheaper. Generally speaking, it would cost at least a few hundred yuan.”

Wang Guifang's heart sank, and a trace of disappointment appeared on her face, but she still hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Director Wang. It's really a bother for you."

Director Wang smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. We are all neighbors. I will definitely help if I can."

On the other side, Li Dajiang came to Section Chief Ma's house with the wine that Section Chief Ma and his partner had brought with them last time. When Section Chief Ma saw Li Dajiang, he warmly welcomed him into the house.

"Dajiang, what's the matter that brings you here so late?" Section Chief Ma asked with a smile, and personally poured him a glass of water.

Li Dajiang handed the wine to Section Chief Ma and smiled shyly: "Section Chief Ma, I have something to ask you.

You know the situation of my family. Daha is about to be converted to a regular employee, but the housing issue has stumped us.

Can you give me some advice? How much money do I need to prepare to buy a house in this city?"

Section Chief Ma took the wine and put it aside, thinking seriously for a while, and said: "Dajiang, the price fluctuation of this house is indeed quite large.

If your family wants to buy a house that is more spacious and in a good location, you will probably have to prepare four or five hundred yuan.

However, there are also slightly older, smaller houses that can be bought for around 300 yuan, but they may not be as comfortable to live in. "

Li Dajiang frowned even more tightly after hearing this and said, "This is really a huge sum of money, Chief Ma, do you think there is any way to spend less money?"

Section Chief Ma patted Li Dajiang on the shoulder and said, "Dajiang, I have an idea for you. Don't you have a house in the back of your compound? When the time comes, let Dahe apply to buy it, and then you can slowly buy the east wing as well, and finally tidy it up, and then it will be enough for you to live in!"

Li Dajiang said gratefully: "Chief Ma, thank you so much, your idea is really helpful."
