Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 859: Housing Information

After Han Li came back from Yuquan Mountain, he sat in the yard and waved his hands to hit the wooden stakes and tree trunks he had taken out from the decomposition space. After each wave of his palm or punch, he would use a knife to split them open one by one to check, and then put these wooden stakes and tree trunks into the decomposition space.
This was because Han Li thought about it for a long time, but ultimately still didn't understand what method he should use to continue moving and tempering that "energy". He attributed all of this to his own lack of knowledge.

So while Han Li asked others to help him find some ancient books on the subject, he began to practice his control over "strength" according to Song Laosui's description of the dark strength stage.

However, this process of changing from being aggressive to being restrained is not so easy to change, so Han Li didn't find a good way after practicing for three days. This "strength" was difficult to control, and he even forgot about the Summer Palace during these days.

Today is Saturday again. Han Li waited for school to end, fed the dog, left enough food, locked the door, pushed his bicycle and went to wait for Yun Yingying and the others.

Just like before, Han Li watched He Mi and Hou Yuhua get on the bus, then he rode his bicycle and took a shortcut home with Yun Yingying.

This week, only Qi Zhaodi did not come back, everyone else came back. However, because Sijiu City started cutting down trees and expanding roads, traffic was inconvenienced, so He Mi and the others returned home much later than last week.

Han Li and his father sat in the yard, smoking and listening to his experience in training crows. The two dogs lay at their feet. This was the treatment they could only enjoy after Han Li came back. Usually they were tied under the south wall next to the street gate.

Mother Han sat at the kitchen door, watching the Han sisters, the Yun sisters, He Mi, Hou Yuhua and others prepare dinner.

After dinner, Han Li sent the Yun sisters back home as usual, but today, as soon as they rode out of Mianhua Hutong, Han Li took them to the courtyard house next to Houhaizi.

The weather now is neither too cold nor too hot, and there are no neighbors within twenty meters. The three of them can enjoy the unique scenery in the house and yard, as well as the female duet that they have not heard for a long time.

However, when Han Li sent them home, it was a little too late, and his family had already gone to bed when he got home.

The next day, when Han Li came back from exercising with his two dogs, most of his family members were already up.

Han Li was washing up at the sink with a towel, soap, toothbrush and ointment when Han's mother came over from inside the house with the same things and whispered.

"Son, you came back too late last night. There's something I didn't tell you."

"What's the matter? Why are you still talking nonsense?"

"House, house, you can't tell anyone about this, not even your sister or your third sister?"

"Mom, from what you said, the house is ready. Where should we put it? But why can't we tell the eldest, second and third sisters?"

"I'm doing this for your own good. Just do as I say, son. Let me tell you, this house is in the southeast corner of Nanguanfang Hutong. It's very convenient for cars to pass through the hutong. There is a three-courtyard house there.

The original owner has been clamoring to get the property back recently. He went to the street office to make trouble several times some time ago. Now the residents are not happy about it. A few people even put the owner of the three-courtyard house in a sack.

The owner of the three-story house called the police after being beaten once. Although no one was caught, he was sure that the residents did it. This matter has already been reported to the district, and it is said that the higher-ups are already considering this matter. "Mom, your news is not good. Even if they take back the house, they will definitely sell it? If they sell it, they will definitely sell it to our family?"

"You little brat, do I need to tell you about this? I know that landlord. He has been doing odd jobs in units around the street for many years. Not only is he a bachelor, but he is also a real drunkard. He would drink even if he didn't eat when he earned some money.

Even if he can get this house back, he will sell it for wine after getting it. As for selling it to someone else, it is even more impossible. Your mother has worked in the street office for so many years and she didn't just eat for free."

The mother and son were talking when He Mi and the others came out with toiletries, so they had to temporarily drop the topic.

After dinner, Han's mother found an excuse and took Han Li out.

The mother and son went to the southeast corner of Nanguanfang Hutong and looked at this three-in-one courtyard. The back house, including the street gate, seemed to have eight rooms. The main house had three rooms, with two side rooms on the left and right, three east and west wing rooms, each with an side room, and the back room seemed to have eight rooms as well.

Of course, these may be the original number of rooms. Now not only have the doors and windows been changed a lot, but also some kitchens, earthquake-proof sheds, and small houses have been built in a mess in the yard. There is only one passage in the yard that is barely wide enough to push a bicycle, and even then, there are piles of coal briquettes blocking the way from time to time.

Because too many people have moved into this courtyard, it has been ruined beyond recognition. The screen wall, hanging flower gate, winding corridor, house frame purlins, columns, beams (pillars), thresholds and rafters are all unrecognizable in their original appearance.

However, the area of ​​this three-courtyard house is acceptable, and the location is also quite good. Qianhaizi is about a hundred meters away, and Yinding Bridge is three or four hundred meters away. If it is open to traffic, it may require very high technical requirements in the future. But if it is cleaned up, it will definitely be a good place to live in the next twenty years.

The mother and son walked around inside and then came out. When someone asked about the matter, Han's mother came forward on behalf of the street office. However, this also attracted complaints from many residents, who spoke ill of the original owner.

"That turtle and Wang** are not good people. When our ancestors were in the banner, they bullied and exploited us ordinary people."

"Isn't it? I heard that when times were tough a few years ago, he often took his hidden possessions to the black market to exchange for money. How come he wasn't caught then?"

"That's nothing. I heard that this drunkard emptied the family's savings, and then forced his wife and daughter to be secret agents in order to drink. If they refused, he would beat them to death. Finally, they couldn't live any longer, so the mother and daughter cried and jumped into the front lake, and died immediately."

"Boss, you said that the higher-ups handed the house over to this bastard. Are you kidding me? What if he gets drunk and sets the house on fire?"

"Yes, we can't give him this house. Otherwise, where would ordinary people like us live?"

"Isn't it? If he, a flag officer, were to drive us workers away, that would be a disaster."

Fortunately, there were some people with clear minds among these people. The old lady’s mouth was covered before she could finish her words.

Han Li and his mother were somewhat embarrassed when they came out of here. There was nothing they could do because these people were too talkative. They kept talking to people and it was endless.
