Siheyuan: Starting from the promotion of an engineer

Chapter 294
Lou Xiaoe was washing clothes in the shade of the trees in the courtyard.

The third aunt moved a stool and sat on the side shaking a cattail fan and chatting.

Lin Xiaolong, Lin Xiaofeng and Yan Yingnan are over one year old, running and playing around.

While talking, the car bell rang a few times outside the gate.

Postman Lao Li pushed a brand new pedal tricycle in.

"Comrade Lou Xiaoe, this is a special gift from the bicycle factory to thank Lin Zhen for his design drawings. Lin Gong asked me to deliver it to the courtyard for you."

"Ah! This, this is too precious!"

"Please sign the form, I have to deliver the letter elsewhere."

"Hey, okay, thank you, Comrade Li."

After the postman Lao Li left, Aunt Chang and Aunt San in the front yard all looked around, their envious eyes shining brightly.

"Xiao'e, your family already has one, and this bicycle factory sent another one. This is really rich!"

Lou Xiaoe smiled and said: "One car is enough for my family, and I don't often take my children out. I'm used to riding the one modified by Lin Zhen. We won't waste this new one. When Lin Zhen comes back from get off work, we will We are going to discuss with him and donate it to the street office. If anyone has difficulty pulling something or pulling the elderly to the hospital, it can be used.”

Lou Xiaoe is thoughtful.

Two tricycles are definitely not used up, so it is better to give them away than to keep them at home to make people greedy.

And if you give it away, it's not easy to deal with whoever you don't give it away.

Both Liu Yuhua and Yu Li wanted one, as did You Fengxia and Qin Jingru.

The relationship is good, not too few but not uneven.

At that time, Liu Yuhua will definitely pay for it directly.

That would be even more inappropriate, after all, he and Lin Zhen don't care about the hundreds of dollars, and they won't accept Liu Yuhua's money.

In order to avoid embarrassment, I can only donate the new ones to the street office, and I can get a good reputation.

And the one modified by Lin Zhen has always been free for several families to ride.

That tricycle is more generous than the bicycle of the third uncle Yan Bugui's family. Every time Yan Jiecheng rides his father's bicycle, he has to give 2 cents, let alone other people.

When she heard that Lou Xiao'e was going to donate her tricycle to the street office, the third aunt said happily, "Xiao'e's ideological awareness is really high, and she has a spirit of dedication."

Aunt Chang also said happily: "Yes, yes, maybe one day my family will be able to use it if there is an emergency."

Lou Xiaoe said with a smile: "If the people in our courtyard are in a hurry, you can ride even the tricycle modified by Lin Zhen."

"Oh, that's great. I've wanted to ride to buy vegetables for a long time, but I'm sorry, I will borrow it once on Sunday morning, and buy some foreign candy for Xiaolong and Xiaofeng when I come back."

After get off work in the afternoon, as soon as Lin Zhen entered the house, Lou Xiaoe told him what she thought.

Lin Zhen nodded and said: "You are also a family member, you don't need to discuss with me, you can ride to donate at noon."

Lou Xiaoe said: "That's not acceptable. You are the head of the family. I have to ask you. Since you agree, I will go now. Don't be seen by Yuhua Yuli for a while, and I will not be allowed to donate."

Lin Zhen smiled and said: "Although Yuhua wants one, she will never stop you, but Yu Li and Qin Jingru will stop you."

Sure enough, when she found out that Lou Xiaoe had donated the new three rounds to the street office, Yu Li complained: "Sister Xiao'e, why don't you discuss it with me, Yuhua Jingru and I can exchange money to buy it."

Qin Jingru said: "Yes, yes, how convenient is it to have an extra tricycle in the future?"

Liu Yuhua said: "Don't drag me around. I don't like exchanging money to buy things together. It's too troublesome for anyone to use and who doesn't. If you want to buy it, I can buy one by myself. It's convenient to ride."

Lou Xiaoe said with a smile: "The one at home is enough for our sisters to ride. Let's give back to the society for the other one, let alone buy it with money. Can I ask for your money?"

Director Zhao of the Sub-district Office was pleasantly surprised to see that Lou Xiaoe had donated a pedal tricycle.

In addition to awarding the certificate, Aunt Liu was also asked to think about whether Lin Zhen's family had any difficulties.

Anything that can help his family solve it will definitely be solved.

Aunt Liu smiled and said: "His family lacks nothing but one thing, that is the house. Last time we went to inspect the shower room he built, we sat in his room for a while, you see Lin Guolin’s house has a separate bedroom, which can only accommodate a bunk bed and a desk.”

Director Zhao nodded, "Indeed, a 45-square-meter house for a family of eight is too small. In a few years, Lin Dong and Lin Liang will grow up and it will be even more crowded. In this way, if he is approved to build another room, since he is willing to live more Contribute to the country, we have to protect his housing problem."

Aunt Liu asked, "How big is the area to build an extra room? Should we build it for him, or let him build it himself?"

Director Zhao said: "It is said that it is a collective system now, and the sub-district office is responsible for it, but it is too time-consuming to go through a set of approval procedures, and our sub-district office does not have a special construction team. Let him build it. How much material will be used then?" He Gong, I will report to the district and give him a subsidy, as for the area? As long as the daily access of the neighbors is not delayed."

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Then it's settled. I'll talk to them after get off work."

The front yard of the courtyard house used to be occupied by servants.

Therefore, the area is not large, at most 50 square meters, and generally 30 square meters.

All are two rooms or one room, not as big as the houses in the middle and back yards.

Like the deaf old lady, Shazhu, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao or Jia's house, they are all three-room houses.

They were all natives of Sijiu City, or those who were rich and respectable before Xie Fang could live there.

And Lin Zhen came to the rolling mill from the countryside to earn a living with a letter of introduction. At that time, it was quite enough to be able to allocate a 45-square-meter house in the front yard.

A few years ago, when the child was young, he didn't feel anything.

As the children grow older, the room becomes crowded.

While eating dinner, Aunt Liu came to the house.

"When the child is growing up, is he not willing to eat meat? Really, Xiao'e, come to my house tomorrow, and I will cook chicken for the child."

"Ah! Aunt Liu is here!"

Lin Zhen and Lou Xiaoe got up quickly.

"I just ate it the day before yesterday, so I can't eat it every day."

The children happily ran over to greet them, "Grandma Liu, you are here!"

"Here, here are the grapes I bought along the way. I'll eat them after dinner."

"Thank you Grandma Liu, let's go wash it now!"

"Aunt Liu, come here as soon as you come, what else do you want to buy?"

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Hey~ I bought it for my grandson, don't move my stool, I won't sit, just say a few words and leave."

"Aunt Liu, what's the matter?"

"Well, my natal nephew said that since Xiao'e donated a new pedal tricycle to the street office, let me think about what difficulties your family has. After thinking about it, it is difficult for eight people to squeeze into two houses. , he immediately agreed to grant you a house."

Lou Xiaoe said happily: "Really? Where is it?"

Aunt Liu laughed and said, "Of course it's true, but it's not ready-made. Now we don't have ready-made houses in the whole street. You have to build them yourself. It's right next to your house. You can decide how big the building is. As long as you don't It’s enough to delay the neighbors’ access.”

Lin Zhenxi said: "No, my house is on the side. It doesn't block the road. There is an open space on the left side. It can be built directly to the wall. It is estimated that it can increase the space by 20 square meters."

Aunt Liu said: "Then when you have time, draw a foundation plan and send it to the Subdistrict Office. We will approve it for you. We are supposed to be responsible for building it, but the Subdistrict Office does not have a construction team. You will be subsidized for the materials and labor you use. "

Lin Zhen said with a smile: "I don't need subsidies. My salary is high, so I should lighten the country's burden. Apart from worrying about the jealousy of my neighbors, there is really nothing else."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "That's right. Years ago, Liu Guangqi had no place to live, so he just built a wooden shed. Once he left, the wooden shed was demolished the next day."

Aunt Liu said: "You don't have to worry about this. Liu Haizhong's house has three rooms, one more than yours. According to the standard, you have eight, he has four, you should change!"

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "I'm relieved when you say that. Well, I'll send the foundation map over tomorrow."

After Aunt Liu left, Lin Zhen was in no mood to eat, and immediately went to measure the land.

To be honest, whether it is a courtyard house or a suburban area, there is no shortage of land at all, what is lacking is the funds and workers to build houses.

It is still a collective system now, as long as the sub-district office agrees, it will be a regular house after it is built.

After the collective system is abolished, it can be written in the house book.

But for those who are really rich and capable, apart from Lin Zhen, there is no other one in the whole alley.

There is also a reason why there is no subsidy.

Whoever is jealous can also apply. As long as the family has a large population, the street office will definitely approve it.

But don’t subsidize them first, they have to spend their own money, and they have to build it themselves.

In this way, those who feel unfair will not mention so much.

Lin Zhen only has two real houses.

The outside kitchen was built later and is not too big.

On the left is an open space, which was originally where the former landlords and big households piled up sundries.

Now there are bicycles and tricycles, as well as chicken coops and other messy things.

Lin Zhen pushed the car to the carport and put the chicken coop behind the shower room.

After tidying up, take a careful measurement.

If it is built to the edge of the wall and close to the courtyard wall, a space of 21 square meters can be built, and the actual usable area is also 20 square meters.

When I got home, I immediately told my wife.

Lou Xiaoe said happily: "If we add 20 square meters, our house will be as big as that of Sha Zhu's."

Lin Zhen said with a smile: "At that time, after I divided the house, I was so happy to see that there was an open space on the side. I had already planned to add a house. If the house can be built in the yard without affecting the neighbors' access, it is our house. gone."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Our house is on the corner. It used to be where maids and servants lived."

"Hahaha, don't care, it's a new era now, and I can't find a housemaid to serve me even if I want to."

"Hmph! I think you want to get beaten!"

"Surrender~ Don't do anything, I have to draw a picture quickly, and then calculate how much material I need to buy."

"Hmph! Forgive you this time~"

Early the next morning, before going to work, Lin Zhen went to the street office to submit the application for house expansion.

Director Zhao said: "Forest workers, subsidies must be given, and the collective system cannot allow the masses to pay for housing problems by themselves."

Lin Zhen said with a smile: "My situation is different from others. Now my monthly salary is more than 130. If I can afford it, I can no longer ask for the state. In this way, Director Zhao, when the time comes, you can distribute the subsidies to the widowed elderly or poor households! "

Director Zhao said happily: "Okay, I can't refuse this, so I donate it in your name. To be honest, it's really my blessing that you two can live in my jurisdiction."

"Hahaha, I'm overwhelmed, I have to go to work, you're busy!"

The news that Lin Zhen wanted to expand the house quickly spread in the yard.

Although most people are envious, they have nothing to say.

After all, Lin Zhen has that strength, and the family of eight has been squeezed together for more than a year, so it's time to expand.

Moreover, he succeeded in the expansion, and when his family has more people, he can also apply for the expansion.

There are also some who are purely jealous and angry, Jia Zhang is one of them.

What she dislikes most is that Lin Zhen's family is doing well.

Originally, Lin Zhen's family of eight squeezed into two houses, which was the only thing she felt relieved about.

Whenever Jiazhang was unhappy, she would think about how inconvenient it was for Lin Zhen and his family to be crowded in the room, and she would feel much better.

Now that Lin Zhen is going to expand to the wall all of a sudden, it really makes Jia Zhang so angry that he can't eat.

"Build it, build it, if you have money, you can build it on the road! Burning foreign bags, I am so pissed off!"

"Okay, mom, the second uncle didn't say anything, so let's not say more, after all, it was approved by the street office, and Lou Xiao'e sent a tricycle for nothing!"

Jia Zhang curled her lips angrily, "Huairu, find a chance to go to the street office to borrow that tricycle. I have to take it and walk along the moat to relieve my anger."

Stick stem said from the side: "Grandma, I heard from Lin Guolin's family that only when the old man is seriously ill can he go to the street office to borrow a tricycle. Do you really want to take it?"

"Bah, bah, bastard, crow's mouth, what are you talking about!"

in the backyard.

The Second Uncle Liu Haizhong knew that Lin Zhen was going to build a big house, he was already so angry that the corners of his mouth were on fire.

He didn't dare to say it out of his mouth, and he panicked in his heart.

In particular, Liu Guangtian followed Lin Zhenxuan's back and forth to help, which made Liu Haizhong so angry that his teeth ached.

"It's a dog that has been raised for more than 20 years! When his elder brother Guangqi came back, he fought from the beginning to the end. This outsider built a house more than his own!"

Aunt Er said: "Okay, Lao Liu, don't talk about it, if you want to blame it, blame yourself for your lack of status. You are a seventh-level worker in the rolling mill, and you are a gentleman who mediates conflicts in the yard. What do you do in the street?" No, otherwise, Director Zhao didn't grant you a wooden shed back then, but a brick house!"

Liu Haizhong sighed and said, "Even if it's approved for a brick house, it's useless. We can't afford it. Lin Zhen spent all his money."

"Not necessarily. I heard that the subdistrict office will provide subsidies, and all the labor and materials will be reimbursed at that time. Lin Zhen said on the surface that he doesn't want it. Who knows if he wants it at that time!"

Liu Haizhong frowned and said, "Is there a subsidy? According to this, we can also apply for one, and then we can build a brick house of [-] square meters, and we can move back together!"

Aunt Er said happily: "Yes, we are also qualified to apply. If you don't say it, I will forget it. Lao Liu, you can write the application now and go to the street office tomorrow to hand it over to Director Zhao. If he can approve it to Lin Zhen, he must approve it." Give us!"

"That's right, I'm going to measure at the door now, and I'll go to the street office to apply tomorrow!"
