"You go and take a look first. If you can make it, I'll take your sister-in-law to take a look while I'm resting."

Without a professional intermediary, Liu Hongchang didn't have to do it himself. He could let Liu Zi help him do the work that the intermediary should do.

"Brother, you really want to buy a yard. Your family already lives in a very spacious house. Among the people we can see, there are a few people who live in a yard as big as yours."

Liu Zi never understood Liu Hongchang's idea of ​​having a large courtyard, at least one with two entrances.

This era is also considered to be another time of population explosion and housing shortage.

In the previous era, fertility was encouraged starting in the 60s and [-]s, and a family had four, five, six or seven or eight children.

When the children were young, boys had a bed and girls had a bed. It didn't matter how many children slept there. People in this generation wouldn't find anything unacceptable.

But by this time, these families with many children.

Even the younger children have basically reached adulthood.

After getting married, there is a third generation. Of course, the three generations are very happy.

But after young people get married, if the unit does not have room allocation.

After the brothers and sisters started their own families, they still lived together. The house was really tight.

A small room is considered spacious, but more importantly, a family of three or four can only live in half a room with a small partition.

People like Liu Hongchang, whose family lives in one courtyard and each small family has one room, can still be regarded as having a high standard.

"Didn't I tell you that our family is getting bigger and bigger, and we won't be able to live in it soon. We have to think about everything first. Is it still too late to look for a house after we can no longer live in it?"

"Brother, it can't be because Xiaoyan and I live in your wooden house that your family can't live in it. How about I rent a house and free up the wooden house for you."

Liuzi, even after he became rich, did not have a big heart.

Unlike Liu Hongchang before, he had to be whimsical.

I want to find a beautiful, well-educated girl to be my wife.

She married Xiaoyan, an employee of the Second Canteen, a waiter in the canteen.

Xiaoyan is actually a very popular girl. She is not bad looking, has a good personality, and has a formal job.

It's basically equivalent to Yang Maixiang's level before she got married.

They are all considered popular in the marriage and love market.

Liu Zi also relies on his sharp words, good craftsmanship and rich family background.

In the eyes of parents in this era, it was a young man worth relying on who successfully captured Xiaoyan.

After getting married, the six sons naturally faced the problem of housing.

With the money earned by Liu Hongchang, the six sons supported part of the family.

When I got married, I had a grand party and bought various home appliances. I even spent more than 1000 yuan on a Panda brand color TV, which saved a lot of money.

With the remaining money, Liu Zi could not afford to buy a few houses.

But I have no idea of ​​buying a house, nor do I want to buy a house. I just want to dream of being divided into units.

Who wants to spend money to buy a rustic bungalow when there are free buildings to live in?

The six children who were waiting to be allocated a house lived together with their parents after getting married.

Seeing Liuzi's situation, Liu Hongchang lent the wooden house on the He family's side to Liuzi and his wife.

No matter when this house was built or when it was repaired for the second time, the six sons worked hard.

Now it has been vacant, and the six sons can live there for a while, which means that the six sons have not paid in vain.

"What does it have to do with that cabin? Do you think it will be more spacious for our family of four to live in that cabin than when we live in Lao Liu's house?"

And when Wang Cuilan is partial to Liu Hongchang.

Liu Hongchang never thought about leaving the old lady behind and living alone.

If you want to go out to live, you must take Wang Cuilan with you.

The house of Old Liu's family was arranged according to the arrangements of Liu Hongchang's deceased father.

Originally, one son lived in the main house and another son lived in the east room.

But Liu Yunchang was determined to share this house with Liu Yunchang no matter what.

The two brothers had been living together, so they planned to leave it to Liu Yunchang.

"Brother, you are right. The wooden house is more suitable for a husband and wife. Then after I get off work these days, I will run around more, stay tight, and quickly check the situation in the yard for you."

"Don't just be busy with me. When you go out, ask about the house. If there is a small yard for takeout, you can also show it to yourself. It's not my brother's house, and I don't want to live in it all the time. It's just that the house is still too small. Sooner or later, it will be It won’t be enough for you to live in.”

Liu Hongchang still reminded Liu Zi that he could buy himself a house.

But by the way, Liu Hongchang really doesn't force Liu Zi to buy it or not.

"Brother, a big courtyard costs thousands of yuan. With so much money, you really have to buy a shabby courtyard. Maybe at some point, our cafeteria or my sister-in-law's unit will allocate rooms to this house. Wasn’t it just bought for free?”

Liuzi's words still make sense in this era.

From the perspective of people of this era, the old houses in the past were all shabby yards.

Take the courtyard of Lao Liu's family for example. The house is not small, the courtyard is very large, and it is very comfortable and convenient to live in.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, the old Liu's house is not as enviable as the three-room building of Yang Maixiang's natal family.

Liu Hongchang really couldn't help Liu Zi change the conceptual problems caused by the factors of the times.

If it were in the capital, Liu Hongchang would use his master's prestige and ask Liu Zi to buy a set.

But there is little room for appreciation in the value of houses in this small northern city.

There won’t be much difference in price between buying now and buying ten years later.

Moreover, the basic price of a house is not low now, and the location of a house in this era is not very valuable.

The value of a house is mainly reflected in labor and materials.

Houses in Beijing are not too expensive, but houses in Ningzhou are not too cheap either. Far from the dozens of times difference in the future.

In this day and age, buying a house is indeed a waste of money.

In the second state-owned canteen, it is actually not impossible to allocate rooms.

I can't afford to build a house myself, but my superior organization will definitely build a house.

Subordinate units like the Second Canteen are stepmothers, and all kinds of benefits are ranked last.

If there is always a room allocation policy, you will definitely get it in the end.

Just canceling housing allocation and laying off workers in state-owned units are things that people in this era would never think of.

"Right now, there is no news that both parties want to build a house. How can our family afford to wait? It's just a few thousand yuan, and we can just spend it and make money. If the money is not for spending and improving the quality of life at home, then why not?" What to do to make money.”

People in this era still have tradition. Whether they are rural people or urban people, they all like to save money.

More people still feel more at ease when money is in their hands than when it is spent.

Even Liuzi's brain is more flexible, so he is no exception.

"Brother, it's getting more and more lively outside now, and there are more and more people doing business. Should we also think about making some more money?"

"Why, after marrying a wife, you finally realize that it's not easy for a man to support a family?"

"Brother, you are right. After marrying a wife, your expenses will be much higher than when you were alone."

Although Xiaoyan, the sixth daughter-in-law, is not a brother-supporting demon like He Wenhui.After getting married, he went crazy to make money from his parents' family.

But as soon as they start a family, the pressure on men will be much greater, which remains unchanged.

The couple with six children can't live a good life, so they always have to help the other brothers and sisters who are not living as they wish.

"Okay, let me think about making money, and I'll tell you what to do after you've thought about it. Don't go out and mess around by yourself, trying to make some mistakes."

Liu Zi is inherently smart and a little clever. As a young man, he accepts new things quickly.

Affected by the open environment of the outside world, it is obvious that he has started to think about what kind of business he wants to do and what he wants to do.

It's not very appropriate to start messing around after just getting married for a long time, and you can't live a peaceful life.

Because I became a hawker, I lost my job again.

It is not easy for Liuzi's family, or Liuzi's wife's family, to accept this.

Thinking that he would soon spend thousands to buy a yard, and then spend a lot of money to decorate it, Liu Hongchang also felt that he should make some more money.

So I agreed to Liu Zi and continue to make money with Liu Zi. With Liu Hongchang taking care of him, there was no need for Liu Zi to do anything on his own.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm not alone now, and I won't do anything randomly."

Liuzi looked at his daughter-in-law Yanzi who was picking vegetables and said to Liu Hongchang.

The two of them are in free love, and their relationship is quite good.

It was Liu Hongchang who pushed Liu Zi and the two became successful.

Liu Zi is usually very good at talking, and can chat with middle-aged women and young wives.

But when facing the girl he likes, Liu Zi still has the shyness of this era and dare not express it.

"Stop looking, I want to see my wife. Go home and see her. Since you want to make money, go out and do something for the master."

"Master, this canteen will be open soon, what should I do?"

"I'm not asking you to go anywhere far. Just go to the clothing factory and bring me a message."

"What are you saying? Your daughter wants to have her mother. You want me to inform He Wenhui and go see the child. There is no need for me to go to the clothing factory. I will go back from get off work and tell the He family. ."

The biological mother of Liu Hongchang's daughter is He Wenhui, but Liu Hongchang did not hide it from his daughter.

Liu Hongchang still respected the child's right to know.

"I mean to help you make money. Can you ask He Wenhui to help you make money? Whoever meets He Wenhui will not pay for it. Go to the clothing factory to find Gao Junling and give her a message for me."

"What words do you want to bring?"

"Tell her that I have something to do with Houdunzi. If Houdunzi comes back to the city, let me know."

Since he wanted to make money, Liu Hongchang no longer wanted to be a hawker.

Although hawkers are quite profitable, they can double their profits just by traveling from north to south.

But when you are a hawker, no matter how good you are at buying low and selling high, it is not faster than digging money directly from the ground.

During this period, it is almost time to allow private contracting of coal mines.

You can contact Houdunzi to arrange the contracting of the coal mine.

Liu Hongchang, the Yuxi coal mine where Houdunzi currently works, doesn’t want to.

At the beginning, Liu Hongchang was still waiting for this large coal mine to be contracted to external parties.

But in the past few years, I have occasionally contacted Hou Dunzi and Section Chief Xie.

Liu Hongchang learned that with the development of industry, the demand for energy is increasing, and the benefits of coal mines are getting better and better.

Even though coal mines, like other state-owned enterprises, have common problems in state-owned enterprises in this era, such as overstaffing, bloated personnel, high pressure on retirement security, etc.

But to put it bluntly, all these problems are still about money.

Huge benefits can cover up all problems.

For such a profitable enterprise, as long as its resources are not exhausted and there is no pressure at all, there will be no possibility of outsourcing contracts.

Therefore, Liu Hongchang understood that Houdunzi might make a fortune in the future by contracting other coal mines nearby.

Even if it is a small coal mine with small reserves, it is still very easy to dig tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of tons of coal and earn millions.

Liu Hongchang went to Hou Dunzi to find out more about the situation.

Partner with Houdunzi, or contract the coal mines yourself.

"Okay, go over right away and be back in a moment." Liuzi responded.

After making up his mind to start making money, Liu Hongchang's mind wandered outside again.

I didn't have much time to think about cooking, so I started making various plans.

I would definitely not leave the city and go to the mountains to eat coal ashes.

Life in this small town is very comfortable, and Liu Hongchang likes it very much.

Therefore, the coal mine still needs to find a manager, and Section Chief Xie has not been acquainted with him in vain, so he is still needed.

People can be dug out of coal mines and given jobs to a mine director.

Section Chief Xie not only has skills, but also knows many skilled miners.

With this one person and a team, he was immediately pulled out.

Of course, if Hou Dunzi does not become a black man, Hou Dunzi, who is kind-hearted, is a more credible candidate.

Liu Hongchang finished the day just thinking about random plans.

In this era, outside entertainment, such as billiard halls and dance halls, were not attractive to Liu Hongchang.

After get off work, I went straight home.

"Hong Chang, you are back. Come and look after the child while I go cook."

After having grandchildren, Wang Cuilan's attitude towards Liu Hongchang became much more casual.

No longer keeping an eye on Liu Hongchang, Wang Cuilan began to not interfere much with Liu Hongchang's work.

"Dad (Dad)!"

The older daughter shouted and rushed towards Liu Hongchang.

Although my son had just learned to speak and was not walking very neatly, he still shouted enthusiastically when he saw Liu Hongchang sitting on the sofa.

"Daughter, are you obedient at home?"

Liu Hongchang first picked up his daughter.

My daughter is over three years old and is completely out of infancy. In this era, if a child of this age is at home, just give her some toys and let her play with them on her own.

There will definitely be stumbling, falling and beating, and the child will definitely get a little dirty if he gets dirty, but after he gets dirty, just change his clothes and it won't be a big problem.

The reason why this child is tired is mainly because the child is yearning for novelty and freedom.

He doesn't like to stay at home, so he likes to go out shopping and play with other children.

Although the short legs are not long, they can run very fast.

The child's personality is still lively. Wang Cuilan chases the child and gets enough exercise every day.

It is not troublesome to take care of, but not easy to accompany.
