Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

There was no need to buy any home appliances or furniture. The two men didn't have any interest in shopping, so they just bought some bed sheets, quilt covers and some daily necessities, and then went out to buy some food, which would be the first meal in their new home.

After cleaning up here for a day, I still have to go back at night. Although the room here is big enough and not newly renovated, so there is no need to put out any odor, it is better to open the windows for ventilation if no one lives here for a long time.

After buying the house, Zhongshan, who no longer had any money, became quiet.

Every day I chat with a retired old man in the yard, or take care of the children.

Yi Zhonghai has also retired, and there are not many older people left in the courtyard. He Yuzhu and others are usually busy, so when they have nothing to do, they just chat with Zhongshan in the front yard.

Although they are two generations, one is middle-aged and the other is old. It can be said that Zhongshan's generation grew up under Yi Zhonghai's watch, and he would not explain why they were chatting.

"Hey, Xiao Zhong, Lao Yi, we are chatting."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Shan looked towards the source of the voice and was stunned.

I saw a man with bangs, wearing a suit and tie, with his hair tied up in a stanton. His slicked-back hair was shiny, even brighter than the leather shoes on his feet.

"Wow, Uncle, you are so dressed and standing at attention."

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong straightened his back and thrust his big belly forward.

"That's a sign. Xiao Zhong, you're not that old. You can't just waste your time like this. You need to be motivated. We've caught up with a good era. If everyone is like you, how can we develop? You need to correct your mindset and actively contribute to development. Your anxious attitude towards life is wrong."

Liu Haizhong's words left Zhong Shan stunned.

No, ever since Liu Haizhong came out, he has become much more honest over the years. He doesn't like to talk to people in the courtyard. At one point, Zhong Shan was afraid that he would get sick from holding it in. But what happened today, is he really going to get sick from holding it in?

After Liu Haizhong left, Zhong Shan looked at Yi Zhonghai.

"Master No. 1, Master No. 2, what happened? Did you come into contact with something unclean?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Liu Haizhong. The person he always looked down upon was Liu Haizhong. How did you give birth to three sons?

Now you're yelling and yelling all the time, you deserve it because none of your three sons can support you in your old age.

"It's a hot topic to go into business. Liu Haizhong has opened a trading company to resell rebar. It seems he has made a lot of money. He's always yelling and talking nonsense. When you were away a few days ago, he even installed a telephone in his house."

Zhong Shan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't pay attention to anything else except the last sentence.

"Can I install a telephone in my home now?"

Zhong Shan really didn't know this. He had not been born at this time in his previous life. He had no idea when private homes would be able to install telephones, and he had never paid attention to it.

Yi Zhonghai heard him say this and thought about it.

"His family has already pressed the number, so it should be OK. I seem to have heard a while ago that private households can press the number, but I didn't pay much attention to it..."

In fact, since the 80s, private homes have gradually been able to install telephones. If Zhong Shan wanted to, he could have installed it long ago, but he never paid attention to this issue, and others thought he knew about it, so no one mentioned it.

The hotel did have a phone number, but Zhongshan thought only licensed ones could use it.

Although private households have been able to use the system for a long time, it is still not so common and only a few actually do it.

If it is really possible, Zhong Shan would really press it. To him, a phone is much more practical than a car.

After thinking about this, Zhong Shan remembered what Yi Zhonghai said to Liu Haizhong.

Opened a trading company to resell rebar? That's him?

However, it seemed that there was such a scene in a TV series in his previous life, but he didn't remember it clearly. He just remembered that Liu Haizhong made a phone call and sold 100 tons of rebar.

As for where he came from, it's been so long that I'm not sure. It seems that he is Director Lan of the Third Factory and Liu Haizhong's apprentice.

After Director Lan graduated from university, he was assigned to the workshop and worked under Liu Haizhong. No matter how bad Liu Haizhong's character was, he was still conscientious and responsible to his apprentice and taught him sincerely.

Of course, it is also possible that because he is a college student, he teaches extra seriously, so Liu Haizhong and his apprentice have a good relationship.

As for his apprentice, Zhong Shan didn't know how a college student was assigned to the forging workshop. Maybe he had ambitions.

How could Liu Haizhong, an ordinary citizen with a criminal record, have so much rebar just because he had an apprentice who was the factory manager of a branch factory? What role did the factory manager Lan play in this?

However, Zhong Shan did not intend to delve into this. Both parties did not know each other, so why would he cut off someone's financial resources for no reason?

"Uncle No. 1, this uncle No. 2 was listless a few years ago, with no energy at all, but he has recovered all of a sudden. I just saw him in his youth."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai felt a little nervous.

"Yes, but Liu Haizhong was not a good guy when he was young. He was always doing all kinds of things. Now the courtyard has been peaceful for so many years, and every family is living well. He should not do anything weird again."

"Who knows? But since I can install a telephone, I will go to the post office to ask. It is much more convenient to have a telephone."

Zhong Shan ignored Liu Haizhong's remark. Next, Zhong Shan went to the post office twice. It has been a few years since private individuals have been able to install telephones, but it is not yet popular and it is not that simple to install a telephone. Some people even waited for a long time before it was their turn.

After all, Zhongshan was a well-known figure in the area, so naturally he didn't have to wait in line for too long.

Zhongshan submitted an application and installed telephones in his own home and in his newly purchased yard. His daughter and mother-in-law would sometimes rest there and having a phone would make it convenient for them to keep in touch.

The Overseas Chinese Apartment did not press the button because it already existed. It was the Overseas Chinese Apartment, with all the high-tech, and the first batch of users were from the public.

Sure enough, it was installed within two days. After the installation, Zhong Shan first called Li Huaide in Pengcheng. This made it convenient to contact him in the future without having to call a public phone every time.

Just after finishing the phone call with Li Huaide, Li Huaide also introduced the development of Julu Group, Zhong Shanzheng was talking to Lou Xiaoe.

Although Lou Xiao'e doesn't like to ask about the affairs of the factory, she is still one of the shareholders after all, and the factory was built in her name as a Hong Kong businessman. It is better to communicate about the developments of the factory at any time.

As soon as the two finished talking and Lou Xiao'e was about to pick up the child, Zhong Shan saw his eldest brother Zhong Dahai coming back from outside.
