Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

However, no matter how sad the two families were, there was nothing they could do as things had already happened and could not be changed. They just hated the culprit, Yan Jiefang.

After all, if Yan Jiefang hadn't existed, Han Yang would still be Team Leader Han, and Liu Haizhong would still be Master Liu, a level 7 blacksmith. But now, everything has changed!

Yan Bugui knew that he had let the two families down, so he restrained himself a lot in the courtyard and even stopped acting as a door god. Yan Jiefang was now very arrogant, and he couldn't control it, so he could only keep a low profile.

The renovation of Zhong Dahai's house is nearing completion. Zhong Dahai comes to the courtyard house whenever he has nothing to do. Seeing his house changing day by day, Zhong Dahai is extremely satisfied. He cares much more about this house than the apartment he lives in now.

Zhong Dahai was lucky. Just as he was about to move to the backyard, before he could move, the two troublemakers in the backyard went in one after another, and the backyard returned to peace!

On this day, the decoration of Zhong Dahai's house was almost finished. Zhong Dahai came to the courtyard again. Zhong Shan accompanied him to the backyard to see that the masters were still working. The days were long and the nights were late in summer. Originally, Zhong Dahai had to squeeze out time to work and do it first. Now he had to get up early and work late to meet the deadline.

Ever since the Han Yang incident, Zhong Shan hasn't talked to Hou Saner. The main reason is that Zhong Shan doesn't know the master's attitude yet. After all, Hou Saner is his apprentice.

The relationship between master and apprentice at this time was different from that in later generations. Nowadays, people emphasize master and apprentice, father and son, and the relationship between apprentice and son is almost the same. But after a hundred years of his master's death, Hou Saner, as an apprentice, would have to wear mourning clothes.

After Zhong Shan and Zhong Dahai arrived at the backyard, the east and west wing rooms became much quieter. Apart from the sound of workers working in Zhong Dahai's house, there was no other sound in the backyard.

Zhong Dahai was in the front, looking at the workers at work: "The master is busy!"

The master saw Zhongshan and the other man when they were at the door, but when he was working, he would only reply after others spoke to him, otherwise the boss would think that you were not concentrating and not working well.

After hearing Zhong Dahai's words, the master raised his head and said, "The boss is here, Director Zhong!"

After Zhong Shan nodded to the master, Zhong Dahai said, "Master, I think the work is almost done. Can it be finished today?"

The master had so much work in mind that he replied without thinking, "Today is not enough. I have to come back tomorrow. There are also some odd jobs. Although it may not seem like much, if you put them together and clean up, it will take most of the day!"

Zhong Dahai nodded after listening to it: "Okay, then I'll bring the money tomorrow and we'll pay the balance."

No matter how much I say, it is not as good as this one sentence. It is not easy to collect the final payment from an ordinary family. In the end, they will find some faults and deduct some money. Some families are relatively tight on financial conditions, or they are very poor, so they will put off the payment from today to tomorrow, and from tomorrow to the day after tomorrow. You never know when it will be delayed!

The master who installed the two houses for Zhongshan, as well as He Yuzhu, whom Zhongshan introduced to him, were all paid quite happily. If you do a good job, they will pay you happily.

The master had a good impression of Zhongshan from the beginning because of this reason.

After seeing the eldest brother finish talking to the master, Zhongshan stepped forward and said, "Master, there is a lot of work this year!"

Hearing Zhongshan's words, not only the master, but Hou Saner also pricked up his ears to listen to the movement here.

After the matter was settled, there was no movement from Zhongshan. Hou Saner was very anxious. Whether he would do hard work in the future or have another way out depended on Zhongshan's decision. It all depended on whether he would be nice or not!

After hearing what Zhong Shan said, the master did not dare to neglect it: "Director Zhong, thanks to you, the work this year is not bad. I still have a few houses to clean up. My wife and children at home can finally have a full meal!"

After hearing what the master said, Zhong Shan nodded and then looked at Hou Saner who was working at the side: "Master, how long has Hou Saner been with you? I think he is quite smart and I like him very much!"

Zhong Shan did not hide his admiration for Hou Saner.

Hou Saner, who was standing by, was also very excited when he heard Zhong Shan mention him. He knew whether he would eat meat or grass. Today was the day.

When the master heard Zhongshan's words, he knew what Zhongshan meant. Hou Saner had told Zhongshan about this before he went there. He also agreed that his apprentice should go, thinking that finding a way out was better than suffering with him.

Hearing what Zhong Shan said, the master did not hinder his apprentice's future: "Director Zhong, you probably know something about San'er's experience. He didn't know who his parents were when he was young. He once went astray in order to survive. Later, after I got to know him, I found that he still had a conscience, so I kept him by my side as an apprentice and gave him a meal."

At this point, the master looked at his apprentice who had been paying close attention to him, and said no more:

"Director Zhong, if you think this child is okay, you can keep him by your side as a servant. The child is still young, and we are in this business where we have to work from hand to mouth. Although there is still some work now, we will have to starve in winter. I don't want to delay him. The reason I keep him by my side is that I am afraid he will go astray again. But if he stays with you, I will feel at ease!"

Zhong Shan smiled after hearing this. Hou Saner listened to the reply with trepidation. Zhong Shan asked again, "Master, if Hou Saner leaves, can you handle the work here?"

The master said confidently: "If you can give him a good future, just take him away. To be honest, although my job is not good and it is hard work, it is still easy to recruit people. I won't delay anything here!"

"Okay, things must be completed from beginning to end. Hou Saner will work for another day tomorrow. Come find me after you finish this job!"

After hearing this, the master said quickly: "It is his blessing that you like him. San'er, come here!"

Hou Saner, who had been eavesdropping nearby, heard someone calling him and immediately put down his work and came over.

"Master, you called me, Master Zhong!"

The master looked at his apprentice and said, "San'er, you've heard it, right? Director Zhong is promoting you. You'll work here for another day tomorrow, and then go to Director Zhong's place. When you're there, work hard and listen to what Director Zhong says. Got it?"

Hou Saner suppressed his excitement and said, "Yes, Master. Don't worry, I will do my best. Thank you, Master Zhong, for your support!"

Zhong Shan was also very satisfied when he saw Hou Saner in front of him: "Hou Saner, you heard it too, come and work for another day tomorrow, and come to the street office to find me the day after tomorrow. Work hard, and you won't suffer any loss!"

After finishing speaking, Zhong Shan and Zhong Dahai returned to Zhong Shan's house in the front yard. Zhong Dahai did not speak when they were talking just now. After returning to Zhong Shan's house, Bai asked:

"Shanzi, do you want to use that Hou Saner?"

Zhong Shan did not hide it: "Brother, that Hou San'er is quite clever, and he is known by all kinds of people. He has some skills!"
