Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 543, envy

The most important topic in the courtyard today is, of course, heating. A few years ago, after knowing that Jiang Yan and his family spent a lot of money to install heating, many people seemed to be laughing at their family, and many people also laughed at them privately. Silly, it's enough to have a stove, but why do you want to have a heater? This is not like a dog showing off by growing horns.

After being promoted by the third uncle, everyone was envious of him.

In such a cold weather, who wouldn’t want to have spring-like weather in their house all year round?

However, they have neither seen it with their own eyes nor experienced it personally. They just heard the third uncle describe it here. Based on their knowledge base, it is difficult for them to believe it.

However, some people who had been to He Yuzhu's house also came forward to prove that what the third uncle said was true.

This also led some people who were more curious to go to the door of He Yuzhu's house.

They also wanted to go to Jiang Yan's house, but many people only have a greeting relationship with Jiang Yan. Although there are still many employees in the steel rolling mill in the entire courtyard, they are not in the same unit as Jiang Yan. The leader is the leader. Chinese people regard officials as Naturally there is awe.

He Yu didn't live at home at this time, and the door and windows were closed, but standing at the door, he could still feel the slightest warmth coming from the house. Touching it with his hands, he felt that the windows and doors of He Yuzhu's house were actually warm.

"Oh my God, the windows and doors of He Yuzhu's house are warm, so how warm does it have to be in this house!"

"It seems that the third uncle said that Jiang Yan's house is as warm as spring and he can wear single clothes in the house. It's true. You see, this is the case at Zhu Zhu's house, let alone Jiang Yan's house."

"That's right. I've already believed what the third uncle said. Unlike you, you have to go to someone's door and touch the windows and doors to believe it."

Everyone in the courtyard stood at the door of He Yuzhu's house and started talking. Although everyone is very curious and want to see and experience the magic of this heater for themselves. But when He Yuzhu was not at home, no one opened the door and went in to feel it.

While they were standing at the door of He Yuzhu's house discussing, the second uncle Liu Haizhong appeared in the backyard with two bottles of wine. Seeing many people standing at the door of He Yuzhu's house, he quickly asked.

"What are you guys doing there? Are you planning to do something bad?"

"Second uncle, from what you said, we are all neighbors. What bad things can we do? Didn't we hear that Zhuzi's house is also equipped with heating? Come and feel it." A neighbor said quickly.

"Okay, Zhuzi is probably at Mr. Jiang's place if he's not at home. You guys, be careful." As he said this, the second uncle walked through the backyard and came to Jiang Yan's yard with the wine in his hands.

After the second uncle left, the person who was arguing just now continued to speak.

"You see, Jiang Yan has passed away as soon as he comes back. He is so loyal!"

"That's right, look at how low your attitude is. It's not like this in front of us."

"Are you the leader? If you were the leader, I guess the second uncle would be the same."

.

After the discussion, several people discussed it and prepared to go to the first uncle to coordinate. However, in addition to Jiang Yan and He Yuzhu's family, there was also the second uncle's house to install heating in this courtyard. He was the first one, but this No one could remember it at the time.

"The child's father, you won't go and see Jiang Yan when he comes back." The aunt who was sitting by the stove mending clothes said. "Let's not go there now, and we have nothing to ask them for, so what are we going to do there? We can just live our own lives." Yi Zhonghai, the elder, who was also watching the two siblings writing around the stove, said.

After hearing her husband speak, the eldest mother stopped saying anything. All major matters in the family were decided by the eldest brother, and he would not go if he said not to.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the first man's house. After the first man answered, several people came from outside. This made the first man startled. Unexpectedly, he felt that someone was coming to cause trouble! When he saw that the neighbors coming over were the neighbors from the courtyard, the first man let out a sigh of relief.

This old man had just come back from get off work and was warming himself around the stove.

One of the few people who came said, "First Master, according to Third Master, after the heater is installed in the house, the room will be warmer. We were wondering if we could go in and feel it."

"If the heating effect is really that good, we would also like to install one."

After this person finished speaking, another person also said:

"Master, I heard people say that this year's cold wave will come earlier than in previous years, and they also said that the temperature this winter will be lower than in previous years."

Another person followed up and said, "Yes, sir, I've heard that too. I have a buddy who knows someone from the Meteorological Bureau. He said that some air has been blown to our side, and this winter will be even colder."

"If this is the case, then this year will be even more difficult. In previous years, the winter was not so cold, and everyone could survive by relying on braziers and stoves. But looking at the situation this year, just relying on braziers and stoves may not necessarily make it through. Come on, if the heater works well, we'd like to install one too."

"Yes, that's the truth. After all, installing a heater is too expensive. If it doesn't work, then it will be a loss."

After listening to these people's words, the first man didn't react on the surface, but he was always worried in his heart. That's true, and the truth is the same, but it also depends on who has to focus on it.

In the past, his status as an elder in the courtyard was okay. In the past, any issues in the courtyard could not be settled by his elders with just a few words. However, the situation has changed now. As an elder, he no longer has much influence in the entire courtyard. He has great prestige. After all, there are several officials in this courtyard, but he is nothing in front of them!

However, this still needs to be maintained.

"Well, I understand the matter. After all, hearing is believing and seeing is believing. There is no point in just discussing it here. But as far as I know, except for Jiang Yan and his family, the second uncle’s family is not It’s also installed, why don’t we go to their home and have a look.

The first uncle Yi Zhonghai had made a good plan. Naturally, he did not dare to offend Jiang Yan. The few people in the backyard only met and greeted each other. Since they rarely walked out of the yard, the feelings between them had become weaker. Whether they can give you face or not is still a question.

The second uncle Liu Haizhong is different. He is also the leader in the yard. If there is something in the yard, he naturally has to lend a hand to help.

After hearing what the first uncle said, several people remembered that when Jiang Yan and the others installed the heater, the second uncle Liu Haizhong also installed it. When they visited their home, it was still the same and the effect was almost the same, so everyone did not. Object again.

The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, was not at home. There were only the second aunt and a few children at home. They came to visit and the second aunt agreed. This gave the second aunt an opportunity. He had been criticized in the courtyard for installing this heater. , this time the serf sang the song, and he had to show off, and the old man’s face turned green when he said something.

But the result is still quite good. After visiting other residents, they felt good. However, the installation price made many families hesitate, but the first man made up his mind to install one. This thing is much better than his own stove, and he is not worried about carbon dioxide poisoning.
