Siheyuan: Space takes me to exchange!

Xu Damao really told Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui about the matter of Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, but their attitudes made Xu Damao very disappointed.

Yan Fugui said: "Da Mao, this matter needs evidence. As long as you have evidence, we will take care of it. We can hold a meeting to criticize them, or even let the security department arrest them. But you have no evidence!"

Xu Damao thought to himself: If I had evidence, would I need to waste my time arguing with you?

Seeing that the two masters were unwilling to take care of it, he had to think of another way. Anyway, he had to treat Sha Zhu like Yi Zhonghai and make him leave the courtyard.

Finally, he came up with a good idea, which was inspired by Li Xiuyuan.

The only bad thing is that he can't drive Sha Zhu away. But he and Qin Huairu can't have an easy time either. He has been coveting Qin Huairu for a long time, but because of the threat from Sha Zhu, he has never succeeded.

Shazhu, you ruined my good deeds, I will make sure that you will never get married and find a wife in this life.

……

"A-choo...A-choo!" Li Xiuyuan sneezed three times in a row. It had been raining for several days and the temperature had dropped by ten degrees. He was so cold that he had to take out his old clothes and put them on.

It seems that he needs to go to the department store and buy some clothes.

Fortunately, the quilt was made a few days ago, otherwise he would have been cold when sleeping at night.

The colder the weather gets, the less I want to get up. I wish I could merge into the quilt and take it with me wherever I go.

When the sky cleared up and it was Sunday, Li Xiuyuan planned to go buy some things.

When I turned on the tap, I felt that the water was much colder. When I brushed my teeth with cold water, the roots of my teeth felt chilly.

Xu Damao came out of the house, walked straight to Li Xiuyuan and said, "Brother, what are you doing today? How about we cook some food and have a drink?"

Li Xiuyuan spat out the warm water he had used to brush his teeth, "I have a lot of things to do today, let's do it another day."

"What are you busy with? You don't even have a girlfriend." After saying that, Xu Damao realized that he had said something wrong, so he quickly slapped his lips and said with an apologetic smile: "Brother, look at my mouth, I really didn't mean it. I apologize to you and will treat you to a drink some other day..."

Li Xiuyuan forgave him generously. After all, I had done something wrong to you.

Hey! I don’t have a girlfriend, but I’m not lonely!

"By the way, Damao, do you know anyone around here who can build a kang?"

"What's wrong? Do you want to build a kang? No, don't you have a kang in your room?" Xu Damao asked puzzledly.

Li Xiuyuan explained to him: "The kang in my house has been built for many years, and it's time to remove the ashes. I plan to tear down the kang and build a new one."

Li Xiuyuan felt that his current kang was not heating well. In his previous life, his hometown was in Northeast China. The kang in his hometown in Northeast China was connected to a stove, so one could cook while heating the kang, and the smoke would go out through the chimney, which was convenient and saved trouble.

It's like the kang we have now, which has fire burning underneath, but it has no stove, so you can't cook.

Not only is coal wasted, but it is also troublesome. You need coal coupons to buy coal now, and every household has a quota. You can't just burn as much as you want.

Xu Damao: "Yes, there is a bricklayer in Shajing Hutong, which is next to our hutong, and he knows how to build a kang."

Li Xiuyuan wrote down the address and planned to go look for it soon. The stove was about to be lit, so the kang had to be built right away.

When Li Xiuyuan was about to leave, Xu Damao asked him to come back early in the afternoon, saying that there was a big show to watch in the courtyard.

Li Xiuyuan immediately understood that Xu Damao must have done something bad to Sha Zhu, but in order to watch the fun, he naturally wanted to be a qualified spectator.

Li Xiuyuan first went to Shajing Hutong to find a kang-building master. The master happened to be at home idle that day, and when he heard Li Xiuyuan talk about building a kang, he immediately agreed and followed Li Xiuyuan to Yard No. 95.

Li Xiuyuan told him his request and asked him to help check the roof and fix anything that needed repairing in the house.

After the master took a look, he said it was not difficult and everything could be done today. However, the newly built kang could not be used for immediate living. One had to wait until it was completely dry and free of moisture before people could lie down and sleep on it.

Li Xiuyuan thought it was nothing, it was just a place to sleep, right? If not, he could just borrow a bed and sleep there for a few days.

"It's okay, then you go ahead and do it first. I'll give you the key. If you have built the kang and I haven't come back yet, just give him the key." Li Xiuyuan said, pointing at Xu Damao who came in to watch the fun.

When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, brother, I'll help you keep an eye on it. If anything happens, I'll tell my daughter-in-law and ask her to help keep an eye on it for you."

Li Xiuyuan was very grateful. He paid the master all the wages and material fees, and let him buy some bricks, sand and other things by himself. Li Xiuyuan then left him alone.

People in that era were simple and honest. There were no shoddy projects like those in later generations. They were all owned by his neighbors, so there was nothing for him to worry about.

Then he said hello to Xu Damao and left the courtyard.
