Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Just like that, two days passed amid everyone's speculation.

The first batch of food in the space has finally been harvested in the past two days. Zhong Shan looked at a field of golden food. With a thought, he controlled the grains of food to break away and fall to the open ground. The stalks automatically decomposed, leaving enough seeds to be planted again.

As for chickens, sheep and pigs, Zhongshan didn't care about them, letting them reproduce on their own and wait until their numbers increased. Unfortunately, there were no cattle. Cattle were really hard to buy at that time. Most farmers relied on cattle to plow the land. The rural areas couldn't even divide it up, and it was all collective. No one was brave enough to sell cattle.

On the third day, Deputy Director Lian still did not come to work.

After get off work, Director Li called Zhong Shan and said, "Xiao Zhong, don't go home tonight. Come to my house for dinner."

As soon as Zhongshan heard this, he knew that the matter had come to an end.

"Okay Aunt Li, I'll be there soon."

Director Li looked at Zhong Shan and said, "Come back with me. Don't go shopping. It's not that complicated."

After saying that, he took Zhong Shan back.

Director Li’s home.

After dinner, Zhong Shan and Director Li's family of three were in the study. Director Li and his wife asked Hu Chengyu to listen nearby. After all, their son was grown up and they needed to start training him.

Director Li said, "Xiao Zhong, the deputy director has been sentenced. He has to eat peanuts. It's not easy for the people behind him to do this. If they are not careful, they will be implicated. Wang Yonggui's house was also searched, and he couldn't miss a peanut. The matter has finally come to a successful conclusion!"

Then Hu Shouliang said, "Xiao Zhong, this matter has now been concluded quite satisfactorily. You have made great contributions to this matter. Xiao Zhong, do you have any ideas? If you have any, please bring them up. We are not outsiders."

Zhong Shan understood that this was a matter of sharing the cake. Although Deputy Director Lian was nothing, Wang Yonggui was a wealthy man, not much worse than Lou Bancheng. Deputy Director Hu had made preparations in advance. Even if he didn't touch Deputy Director Lian's affairs to avoid suspicion, he still got the upper hand in dealing with Wang Yonggui. Although he didn't know how it worked, he should have benefited from it.

Zhong Shan thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Li, Uncle, I don't have any ideas. I just started working and it's unlikely that I'll be promoted. Besides, I'm very satisfied with my current job."

After thinking for a while, he said, "The man who reported the case was actually my childhood friend. His father was a forger at a steel mill. He went to support the Northwest a few years ago. But after his father left, we couldn't find him or contact him. The factory stopped paying his father's salary, and he didn't want to inherit his job. His family couldn't even eat. So, I met him and gave him my father's job quota."

Zhong Shan told Li Mingliang's story again, and then said: "I was thinking about whether I could transfer him to the security department or the procurement department when he starts working."

After listening to Zhong Shan's words, Hu Shouliang slammed his hand on the table and said, "What nonsense! How could a steel mill do such a thing? His father went there to support the construction. I have heard about it. I can't tell you the details, but they are all heroes. How can you treat the family members of heroes like this?"

Director Li was also angry and said, "Xiao Zhong, leave this matter to me. My brother is at the steel mill. Tomorrow I will ask him to find out which link went wrong. As for work, he is in charge of logistics, so just transfer him directly to the purchasing department."

Zhong Shan was moved when he heard this. The person in charge of logistics was surnamed Li. Could he be the deputy factory director Li?

After talking about Li Mingliang, Hu Shouliang turned to Zhong Shan and said, "You are new to the job, so it is not appropriate for you to be promoted. However, after confiscating Wang Yonggui's assets, including some real estate and shares in the textile factory, we can give you a job quota in the textile factory. Do you need it?"

Zhong Shan thought about it and said with a wry smile, "I really don't need it. I'm the only one at home now. My father's job quota was given to Li Mingliang. To be honest, I don't know who to give the quota to."

Director Li and Hu Shouliang looked at each other and felt a little pity for Zhong Shan. They originally felt that although Zhong Shan looked honest, his character was as cunning as a fox, and the contrast was quite big. Now think about it, he lost his relatives at a young age and was alone. If he was still honest, he might be eaten to the bone. It was all forced out of him.

Zhong Shan looked at Director Li and his wife, and then said, "However, if there is a house that can be sold to others, I would like to buy it."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and added, "Just wait until the rest are dealt with. I can't afford the good ones even if I am given them. I just don't know if the policy allows it."

Director Li thought for a moment and said, "Of course the policy does not allow private transactions, but it is not impossible. After all, it is also to help the government deal with the burden. In fact, the Wang family also has a property in Nanluoguxiang on our street, not far from your home. It was bought before the CCP. It is a formal five-courtyard house. Later, it was never repaired. It became more and more desolate. Now it is almost like a ruin. We can't afford to repair it, and no one wants to sell it."

When Zhongshan heard this, he became excited. As for the five-courtyard Nanluoguxiang, even if it couldn't be built now, after the reform and opening up, he would have such a courtyard and wouldn't have to do anything else.

I quickly asked Director Li about the situation in the yard.

Director Li looked at Zhong Shan and said, "Xiao Zhong, I'm just saying this. This yard is already in such a dilapidated state. You have to think it over carefully."

Seeing that Zhongshan was still curious, he introduced: "The yard was bought by Wang Yonggui before he was arrested, but he didn't dare to renovate it after the city was arrested.

The courtyard is located in Heizhima Hutong, Nanluoguxiang. It is a five-courtyard courtyard with an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters. Originally, there was an east wing courtyard, which was a garden, and a west wing courtyard for housing. Later, the east wing courtyard was taken back and the west wing courtyard was in the hands of Wang Yonggui.

The former director of the courtyard had served as the governor of Shu, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was one of the four richest men in the city.

It was destroyed during the war and later came into the hands of Wang Yonggui. When Wang Yonggui was arrested, the house was taken over by the street.

The more Zhongshan listened, the more he liked it. He had to get this yard. Although the house was dilapidated, if it was a good one, it would not be his. He would not be able to bear it if it got his hands.

It’s better if you can’t live in it. If you can live in it, you have to rent it out. Now the regulations say that every household with more than 15 rooms must register with the street office and rent it out. If you rent it out now, it will be difficult to take it back later!

Thinking of this, I said to Director Li: "Aunt Li, I am really interested. How are we going to deal with it? To be honest, my family left me some money. If the money is enough, I will buy it."

Seeing that Zhong Shan really wanted to buy it, Director Li said, "Xiao Zhong, although the yard is run-down, it is not cheap. It costs 5000 yuan. This is the price set by the government. It will be the same for anyone who buys it. If you want to repair it after buying it, the cost will be even higher. It will be completely useless if you buy it."
