Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

"There's been a lot going on lately, so I won't go into detail with you," said Brother Liu.

"Okay, there are rules, I understand. I can't help with anything else, but if you need fish, I can get some. If you need anything, just let me know." Chen Changan said.

"Well, this kind of thing is not my business. I just lead my team to do my own work. These things are not my business, and it's not my turn to worry about them."

Before they had chatted for a few words, Director Wang started calling for dinner. As soon as they sat down at the table, Director Wang picked up a piece of hairtail for the three sisters and Chen Changan, and said, "Everyone try your Aunt Wang's cooking. By the way, Changan, you have done a good thing this time. At least we have added a dish to the table of every household in our city."

With the praises of several sisters, Brother Liu, and Chen Changan, Director Wang also tasted it himself, then nodded and said, "It is indeed good. Don't underestimate this dish. It is of great help to the people. Changan, it is good. Auntie was right about you."

After being praised several times in a row, Chen Changan felt embarrassed and said, "Auntie Wang, please stop praising me. If you continue to praise me, I will become proud."

After finishing this happy meal, Chen Changan took his sisters home. When they walked into the alley, they smelled the smell of hairtail. Most families were eating hairtail today.

Chen Changan suddenly became proud. His suggestion could add a meat dish that didn't require meat coupons and was relatively cheap to the tables of so many families. He felt really good.

Then he said to his sisters, "Have fun today. When you open a bottle or can at night, each of you can have a piece of candy. But you must brush your teeth after eating."

"yeah"

Looking at the happy smiles of his sisters, Chen Changan smiled even happier.

After the National Day, the steel mill resumed work, but Chen Changan could often smell the smell of hairtail every night. Every time he smelled it, he would smile knowingly.

Xiuying wondered if Chen Changan was sick.

Now Xiuhua goes to school with Xiuying every morning. Yes, Xiuhua has also started the first grade of elementary school.

As the weather gradually gets cooler, Chen Changan also prepares to find someone to do some repairs on his house.

The house was renovated when he first moved in, and Chen Changan was afraid that it would be too cold in winter.

In his previous life, Chen Changan lived in an era of global warming, and he lived in the south. As for which is colder in the future, physical attacks or magical attacks, he has no idea because he has never been to the north.

But Chen Changan knew that in the north at this time, at least the outdoor temperature was still very low.

We can find some things in this room. At least the doors and windows should not leak air. There should be a fire pit, and then we can put a stove that burns honeycomb coal from the 1980s and 1990s, with a chimney in the house, so that the room will be warm.

The layout of the house should be changed appropriately, and the furniture should be re-made.

Let my sisters go and live with Aunt Wang for a while.

That night, Chen Changan went to Aunt Wang's house and told her that he was going to renovate the house and that he and his sisters were going to live together in Aunt Wang's house for a while.

Aunt Wang listened and said, "Your house does need some repairs. I'll take you to find someone and you can talk to him then."

After that, Director Wang took Chen Changan to a nearby alley. When they reached the gate of a courtyard, he called out, "Old Qian, Old Qian, come out quickly. I'll introduce a job to you."

Then he turned to Chen Changan and said, "This Lao Qian is actually a subordinate of the Street Office. Some of the house repair work in the Street Office is given to him. If you have any requirements, just tell him. If you have time, you can buy the materials yourself. If you don't have time, you can give it to him. He is a good guy."

As Chen Changan was speaking, he saw a strong man in his forties walking out.

When he saw Director Wang, he immediately ran over and said, "Director Wang, why are you coming to me so late? Please tell someone to tell me if I need anything and I can come to you."

Director Wang didn't bother to be polite with Master Qian and said directly, "This is my distant nephew. His house needs some work. You can go take a look tomorrow and negotiate the price."

Master Qian said without hesitation, "Look at what you said. I will do it for you even if you don't charge me."

Director Wang looked at him and said, "Don't worry about the money. Just pay what you deserve. I won't let you suffer any loss. Just don't cheat others. Just do your job well."

Master Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director Wang. You know my skills well. I promise to do a great job."

"Okay, tomorrow morning you go to No. 95 Nantongluo Lane and look for him in the east wing of the front yard. His last name is Chen. We'll leave first." Director Wang was also very decisive. He didn't say any polite words. He just said what he wanted to say and left.

The next morning, after Chen Changan sent Xiuying and Xiuhua away, he took Xiujuan into the house to wait for Master Qian.

When Master Qian arrived, Chen Changan first gave Master Qian a cigarette. After the guest said a few words, Chen Changan talked about his plan to renovate the house.

"Master Qian, let me tell you my idea first. Can you see if it works?" Chen Changan said.

Master Qian took out a pen and paper and replied, "Okay, sir, you talk, I'm listening."

Then Chen Changan said, "Let's talk about the main room first. I plan to make it into a living room, and then partition off a room near the side room. It can be a little bigger. I have three younger sisters, and they are all still young. For the time being, they will sleep together and make a kang."

Watching Master Qian writing and drawing on paper, Chen Changan paused and continued, "I live alone in the ear room, which also has a kang. The two kangs are connected together to the small storeroom next to it. The small storeroom is now the kitchen. You can repair it."

Watching Master Qian writing and drawing, Chen Changan continued, "The roof of the small warehouse is leaking a little. Lift the roof and expand it a little. Then see if you can build a sewer next to it and build a flush toilet. In this way, the water for washing vegetables in the kitchen and the toilet can go through the sewer. Of course, the tap water needs to be moved here as well."

Upon hearing this, Master Qian said, "Boss, this is a big deal. It will probably cost a lot."

Chen Changan heard this and said, "The money issue is easy to talk about, but what about other aspects?"

"It's about relocating the tap water and re-sewage. We still have to inform the street office about this. I've roughly taken a look at the location of your yard. It can definitely be done, but we need the street office's approval." Master Qian said.

Chen Changan said, "There will definitely be no problem with the streets. As long as there are no other problems after you complete it and it doesn't affect others, it will be fine."

"There is another thing. I want to build a cellar in this ear room of mine. I wonder if it is easy to do." Chen Changan said hesitantly.

Master Qian looked at Chen Changan strangely and said, "Don't you have a cellar in your kitchen? Why do you want to dig another one?"
