Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

"Boss, you are right. I was wrong this time. I planned and calculated, but I didn't expect that it would be in vain in the end.

It seems that my calculations are still not in place. I need to think more about it in the future. I can't ignore any point, otherwise I will lose everything. I have learned my lesson!

Jie Cheng, you see, the two back houses are gone now, and there is nothing we can do. Now the only thing left is the gatehouse, why don't we take that gatehouse down?"

Yan Fugui also realized his mistake, but what he realized was different from the others. He regretted that his calculations were not in place, not the calculation itself.

Later he mentioned the gatehouse again. Indeed, this gatehouse was the last ownerless room left in the courtyard.

"concierge?

That’s too small, Dad. How can someone live there?

It's okay to live alone, but it would be too depressing if you were to get married and start a family. You can't put down a bed and nothing else!"

When Yan Jiecheng heard the word "concierge", he immediately quit. He had been to that concierge many times. It was only about seven or eight square meters in size and could only fit a double bed, but really couldn't accommodate any other large items.

He thought about it and thought that when he found a partner, got married and started a family, it would be too cramped to have such a small gatehouse with the bed right after opening the door. Moreover, it would be so close to the front door, with people coming and going, and no privacy at all. It would be too annoying.

Although the back room doesn't sound nice, it has a large area. It is called a single room but it is actually a suite, divided into inner and outer rooms. One back room is as big as four or five gatehouses. When he thought of the gatehouse and then looked at the back room, he couldn't accept it.

"Come on, are you stupid?

The back house is gone, and this is the only gatehouse left. If you don't want the gatehouse now, you may end up with nothing.

You can sleep on the street then, but at least there is a room like this and a place to sleep.

What's wrong with Xiao?

A small house can save money. It can save money on renovating the house, rent, and furniture. If the house is small, you only need to buy a bed, and you don't need to buy other furniture. So you can achieve three goals with one stroke. Think about it carefully.

Do you need a concierge?

If you don't want it, there will be no gatekeeper after a while. Just wait and see. People in the courtyard will soon realize it.

There must be several families competing for this concierge. If you act too late, the concierge will become someone else's.

If you really don't want to, then after you get married, you can still live with us.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. There are many people who still live together with their parents and family after getting married.

When the time comes, we will just separate a small room for you, which may not be even bigger than the gatehouse.

snort! "

Yan Fugui didn't indulge him, and the more he talked, the more he felt that being a doorman was not bad. It had many advantages, the biggest of which was saving money.

Yan Jiecheng was also very conflicted. He knew that what his father said was not wrong. In a while, the doorman might no longer exist. By then, he would lose everything and gain nothing.

But he was still somewhat unwilling to be demoted from the back room to the gatehouse. The difference was too big and it was related to his future quality of life, so he thought about it and wanted to struggle.

"Dad, besides our compound, are there any suitable houses in other compounds?

For example, the back house and the back room."

"My ability is not that great. I am only of some use in our courtyard. Who would recognize me outside the courtyard?

Even Deputy Director Li from the street only communicated with me because of my status as the manager of the courtyard house. Besides, do you think I didn't ask?

There aren't many houses in our area, so even if there were, it wouldn't be our turn.

A gatehouse is pretty good. First you have a place like this, at least you have a place to sleep and shelter from the wind and rain. When you get married and start a family, you can slowly develop it. When you have the opportunity, you can move to a bigger house, right?

Eat what you can eat first, otherwise you won’t even be able to drink a sip of soup!

Besides, although the gatehouse is small, it saves money. It probably won’t cost too much to repair it. Twenty or thirty yuan will be enough. Moreover, the rent is low, so you will have less pressure to pay rent in the future.

Isn't it just a place to sleep?

The concierge was adequate.

We can eat at home and you don't have to cook. When you get married, you and your wife can save money for a few years and then find a job. It's better than nothing."

Yan Jiecheng thought it made sense, and he also cared about saving money. After all, his father had said that the money spent on renovating the house and getting married would be considered as borrowed, and he would still have to pay it back, with interest. So, thinking in this way, the doorman was not bad.

Spending money on finding a job may be more beneficial than finding a house. Once you get a job, you will have money and it will be easier to find an opportunity to change houses.

Isn’t that what life is all about?

Take it step by step, little by little. Given their family's situation, it is impossible to achieve everything at once. They have to work hard step by step to get a house, a wife, and a job. So he hesitated for a while, but finally made up his mind.

"Okay, then let's go to the concierge!

But Dad, you have to hurry this time, otherwise there will be no more concierges, and then all your efforts will be in vain. Don't delay, do it tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow, don't worry!

Every failure makes you wiser. I know that you can't fall into the same pit twice. I'm not that stupid, so you don't need me to tell you!

There is another thing. The Zhang family next door found a lot of old city wall bricks from the old city. I think this is a good idea as it saves money and is easy to use. Old city wall bricks are good things.

Go collect some when you have time, and bring your two brothers and sister along to collect as many as possible. If you can’t use them, you can save them, and they will be useful in the future.”

When Yan Jiecheng heard that his father agreed to do it immediately, he felt relieved. He was still scared and afraid that something unexpected would happen again.

He heard about the old city wall bricks again, and he didn't object to it. He very much agreed with his father's opinion and was willing to do anything as long as it could save money.

This is equivalent to making money. Normally, if you want to make money by doing odd jobs on the street, you have to wait for opportunities.

The more old city wall bricks he brought back, the more money he would make. It was all his own money, so of course he would not object and he agreed readily.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow and try to find as many as possible."

Yan Fugui agreed very readily this time. He also knew that he should hurry up and handle it this time to avoid any further complications.

He also thought that the resistance to winning over the doorman should be relatively small, so the cost of gifts and connections should be reduced accordingly. He originally planned to spend more than 10 yuan, but now 5 yuan is enough.

As expected, the gatehouse is really good. It saves me money from the very beginning, and there will be more places to save money in the future. The small house is still better. I lose the back house but gain the gatehouse. It is a blessing in disguise.

Yan Fugui suddenly realized that this result was quite good.
