Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

Cao Xing was extremely satisfied after seeing the courtyard given by Lou Zhenhua.

Although it is just a courtyard with one entrance, the area is not small and the surroundings are very quiet.

However, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.

For this purpose, he found Zhao He and Li Xiu to completely renovate the courtyard from inside to outside.

And it was the kind that was demolished and rebuilt.

The drawings were drawn by Cao Xing himself. Not only did he add the radiator design, he also made improvements.

The first generation of radiators began to be produced in the 60s. However, the first generation of products added a lot of water, had few water channels, and had poor heat transfer properties.

He specially changed it to the M-type convection fins of the 70s and adopted the back welding technology. Although it is still very backward overall, as long as you are not afraid of burning coal, the room can still be as warm as spring in winter.

Not only that, he also designed a small boiler, which is more than one person tall and can provide heating for the entire courtyard.

The design drawings even reserved space for a septic tank.

This allows people living in the courtyard to go to the toilet in their rooms without having to go to the public toilet outside.

Zhao He couldn't understand his drawings at first, but after Cao Xing's careful explanation, Zhao He finally understood them.

However, they know the results of many designs but not the reasons behind them. But if the owner asks them to do so, they have nothing to say and just do it.

Moreover, they were all happy to work for Cao Xing. This big order was enough to keep them working for three months!

As long as they finish the work, they can earn a lot of money, and basically they won’t have to worry about food and drink even if they don’t work for a year.

In their opinion, a customer like Cao Xing would be hard to find even with a lantern.

It basically happens once every ten years.

So they take this matter very seriously.

Especially Zhao He, he simply took his men to build a temporary shed in the courtyard to live in. They would sleep after work, work after sleep, eat after work, and work again after eating.

Time quickly came to the end of December, and there were still two days left until the Chinese New Year.

The steel mill finally had a good time.

On the day before the holiday, some of the meat, flour and other supplies stored in the factory were distributed to the workers.

Now everyone received two kilograms of meat and five kilograms of flour.

This action caused dissatisfaction among employees of other factories, and some worker representatives reported the matter to the Ministry of Industry.

However, the Ministry of Industry had no choice because the materials distributed by the steel rolling mill were not allocated by the Logistics Department. Instead, they were all obtained by Director Yang alone.

The Ministry of Industry even publicly told them to find a solution on their own, as long as they didn't steal or rob.

Because of this incident, Yang Weimin completely secured his position in the steel rolling mill.

Even the secretary was enthusiastic when he met Yang Weimin.

Li Huaide was also not in a good mood. In the past three months, Yang Weimin seemed to be on a roll. Through the supplies in his hands, he not only got to know many leaders, but also greatly expanded his network of contacts.

After this incident, the hearts of the people in the steel rolling mill were completely drawn to Yang Weimin's side. As long as he didn't make any mistakes in the future, Li Huaide's plan to seize power would be completely doomed!

On New Year's Eve, Cao Xing received a letter from Wang Xingguo.

The letter stated that because his troops' work was progressing exceptionally smoothly, the work had gradually been taken over by local troops, and he would be able to return to Sijiu City after the New Year.

Cao Xing also understood this matter. How could things not go smoothly with his detailed distribution map?

The products produced by the system must be of high quality.

It is estimated that even the exploration of large oil fields in later generations is not as extensive as that detailed distribution map.

Wang Xingguo also sent him many specialties from Northeast China.

Let him celebrate the New Year without having to feel wronged.

The courtyard was very lively on New Year's Eve.

The front yard is basically Yan Bugui’s personal performance show.

People lined up door to door to get the couplets.

This couplet was written by Yan Bugui himself, at three cents a piece, and he brought his own paper. Basically, everyone in the compound asked him to write for them.

The pool is in the middle courtyard, and during the New Year, there are many more people coming to fetch water than usual, and there is even a queue.

The situation in the backyard was much quieter.

There are now four families living here, and three of them are single-person households, so basically no one comes to disturb them.

Cao Xing is never home every day, while Sha Zhu runs to the deaf old lady's house when he has nothing to do all day.

Lunch boxes and other things were also delivered to the deaf old lady.

First, he wanted to curry favor with the ancestors of this courtyard.

Secondly, he wanted to make Qin Huairu anxious and let her come to him to beg him, after all, the lunch box used to belong to Qin Huairu exclusively.

Now that she is gone, in his heart Qin Huairu will definitely come to find him.

However, his idea was good, but Qin Huairu now was not the same Qin Huairu as before.

Not to mention that the two hundred yuan she got from Jia Dongxu was all in her pocket, just the food Cao Xing fed her from time to time made her feel very happy.

Why would I care about Shazhu's feelings?

After the holiday, He Yushui moved into Li Mei's room.

He never wanted to go to Sha Zhu's place again. Not to mention anything else, the dirty clothes and pants that were thrown away casually made the whole house smell.

It's really a classic example of "keep away from strangers"!

Even a thief would have to practice breath-holding skills to get in!

But Sha Zhu didn't even tidy up his own room, and even thought that Qin Huairu would wash it when she came to ask him for help. However, Qin Huairu ignored him for such a long time.

On the night of New Year’s Eve, Cao Xing felt the strong festive atmosphere for the first time.

The streets and alleys are filled with slogans welcoming the New Year.

The sound of firecrackers, representing auspiciousness, never stopped. Looking around, the night sky was filled with gorgeous fireworks, making it as bright as day!

Cao Xing also cooked personally, and only a few people were invited, namely Li Mei and He Yushui.

His cooking skills were superb and the ingredients were sufficient. The entire table was filled with all kinds of meat, which stunned the little beauty He Yushui!

"Brother Cao Xing, did you do all this?"

All she could see was the table full of fragrant dishes. Not to mention the taste of each dish, the colors and shapes alone were enough to make one's mouth water.

Cao Xing said with a smile: "Today is New Year's Day, I will make an exception and cook you a delicious meal. You little greedy cat must seize this opportunity, otherwise you don't know when you will be able to eat it next time."

"Ah, but Brother Cao Xing, your cooking skills are so good. I dare say it is much better than that of my silly brother."

Li Mei smiled brightly after hearing this: "He usually hides it too well. Even when I want to eat it, he is too lazy to cook it for me."

He Yushui had known about the relationship between Cao Xing and Li Mei for a long time, and Cao Xing did not hide it from her.

"Brother Cao Xing, what else can you do? Why do I feel like nothing can stump you?"

He Yushui was conquered by Cao Xing and thought to herself that Brother Cao Xing was so perfect. It would be great if she could marry someone like him in the future.

Thinking of this, her pretty face turned slightly red, and her eyes would occasionally glance at Cao Xing.

Cao Xing didn't know what she was thinking, but Li Mei saw it clearly.

She had long known that He Yushui had improper thoughts about Cao Xing, but this was not something she could stop.

After all, she is the same and it is impossible for her to become the principal wife, so why should she worry about it?
