People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

My father, Lao Liu, has worked hard in a steel rolling mill for decades. His family of six is ​​crammed into these two rooms, and they can't even turn around.

You can't be the leader of the factory and just take advantage of yourself. You took up one of the three big rooms? Does this make sense?"

The barrage of questions from Aunt Li Zhaodi made Lin Yi stunned for a moment.

Seeing that Lin Yi did not answer immediately, Li Zhaodi, who felt that she was right, continued to speak.

"Lin Yi, how can you be so shameless? You just became a small leader and you are already giving yourself some benefits.

I tell you, if you are not allowed to leave this house, I will go to the street office and the factory to sue you."

It turned out that the matter of the house was known by people in the courtyard.

Lin Yi was not afraid. When the house was planned, everything had already been arranged. Let alone reporting this matter to the street office and the steel mill, he would ignore it even if he went any higher.

Lin Yi found it incredible that the matter could be kept secret until now.

"Did your Liu Haizhong ask you to come?"

Lin Yi was much taller than Li Zhaodi. He took a step forward, lowered his head and stared at her and asked.

Under Lin Yi's oppressive gaze, Li Zhaodi's momentum to cause trouble weakened a little.

"Go back and talk to your old Liu. Don't let an old woman come out and make trouble. Don't let her be used as a tool by others."

After saying that, Lin Yi walked around Li Zhaodi and prepared to enter the house.

After pulling aside the door curtain, Lin Yi turned around and said to Li Zhaodi, who was still indignant, "When I first came to Sijiu City, this house was already decided. At that time, I was not even an employee of the steel mill."

The matter of the house was simply because Li Zhaodi felt uncomfortable coming to Lin Yi's place. However, considering that Liu Haizhong's family had been living peacefully in the backyard for the past six months, Lin Yi was not particularly angry.

"Lin Yi, did you meet that guy in Liu Haizhong?" Liu Mei stroked her gray hair and asked embarrassedly.

Lin Yi nodded, took off his summer uniform and hung it on the wall.

He turned around and said to the calm old lady, "Grandma, let's just move to the courtyard tomorrow. I'll clean up your room and move in first."

Originally, Lin Yi planned to move all the furniture in the house in the courtyard first, and then ask Master Yang and others to renovate the old lady's house and connect it to the three houses in the courtyard.

But plans cannot keep up with changes. Since everyone in the courtyard knows the news about the house, they might as well move. Master Yang has already tidied up the house and can move in directly as long as the furniture is put in.

"There's nothing much to pack. Just roll up your bedding and move in tonight. Grandma really wants to live in the new house."

The old lady opened her toothless mouth and smiled happily. Just now, Liu Mei was blaming herself in front of her.

As the house was completed, Lin Yi had already explained it in detail to Yi Zhonghai and Liu Mei. Lin Yi also had a good understanding of Yi Zhonghai's temper.

If you don't tell me, Yi Zhonghai might help the people in the hospital to apply for these houses that they think have no owner.

By then, everyone will be fighting against themselves.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so careless and mentioned that Lin Yi had three big houses, Jia Zhang wouldn't have been gossiping about it." Liu Mei said self-reproachfully.

This morning, Liu Mei helped the old lady empty the dung bucket. Several aunties in the yard were chatting and talking about the house. Somehow, they talked about Lin Yi.

They said that although Lin Yi was a cadre of the steel rolling mill, the three rooms in the courtyard had no share for Lin Yi, and they said it in a very serious manner.

There are three rooms, one for Liu Haizhong's family, one for Yan Fugui's family, and another one is kept for flexibility because Lin Yi is single and lives in the yard now to take care of the old lady. He will have to move back to the dormitory of the steel rolling mill in the future.

Liu Mei couldn't help but said directly that the three rooms in the courtyard all belonged to Lin Yi, and this was decided before the house was built.

Some people didn't believe what Liu Mei said. They were stubborn like this. There were many aunties and grandmas in the courtyard, even a middle-aged woman was the same.

But some people believe that Li Zhaodi is one of them.

Liu Haizhong's family has been coveting that house for a long time. They have been thinking about it even before the house has started to be built.

There is one room for Yan Fugui's family and one room for Liu Haizhong's family. The news came from Yan Fugui's family and Liu Haizhong's family in order to reduce the competition for housing applications in the courtyard.

They are not stupid. They are not the only two families in the courtyard who have housing difficulties, so they speak out and occupy public opinion first.

But the actual situation was known to both families very well. When they applied for the permit at the beginning of the house construction, they were told that no meeting had been held to discuss the matter.

Later, as I went there more often, my attitude gradually changed.

Finally, the neighborhood office clearly told the two families that the house had already been allocated and there was no share for them. As for who it was allocated to, the neighborhood office did not say.

Liu Mei said that the three rooms all belonged to Lin Yi, and Li Zhaodi believed it.

From the beginning, they knew that Lin Yi had a house allocated among those three houses.

Li Zhaodi was so angry that she thought she had won the battle, but the opportunity suddenly flew away. So she found an opportunity to block Liu Mei.

But it was okay, after all, the house was not allocated to Yi Zhonghai, and Li Zhaodi did not say anything rude to Liu Mei, she just said something sarcastic to herself.

At this moment, I don’t know where he got the courage from, he just blocked the door.

"Moving house will only take a few days. It's not a big deal if we let people know a few days earlier."

Lin Yi really didn't care and comforted Liu Mei.

"Aunt, please help to pack grandma's bedding. The kang over there has been made long ago. Take it over there and spread it first. I will move the tables, chairs and benches that can be moved over first. When Uncle Yi comes back, the two of us can carry it over together."

Since he had decided to move tonight, Lin Yi didn't want to delay any longer. As for dinner, it was okay to eat later. Besides, the weather was hot now and the yard over there was empty. He could eat in the yard then. Not only would no one disturb him, but he could also eat in the open space.

Lin Yi was talking without stopping his hands. He picked up a table, chair and bench in each hand and moved them out of the house.

He didn't go to the main entrance of the backyard, but to the back door of the old lady's room, where Lin Yi slept. Master Yang had opened the door a long time ago and pressed the door, but it was rarely opened.

Although Lin Yi is thin, he is very strong. Anyone who has a portable farm must have been strengthened.

Otherwise, Lin Yi wouldn't have the ability to fight with others.

Apart from a few cabinets, there weren't many pieces of furniture in the old lady's room.

Nowadays, most of the homes of ordinary people are like this.

"Grandma, this room with the big window is reserved for you." Lin Yi reserved the largest room with the best lighting for the old lady.

After the house was started to be built, the old lady often came to check it out with a cane, but she never went inside the house, after all, her hands and feet were not very nimble.

As an elderly person, it is better to be well-behaved. If you fall accidentally, your old bones cannot be compared with those of young people. If you are not careful, you will die.

The old lady also knew this. These past few nights, Lin Yi had been sleeping in the steel rolling mill, but he had always asked Liu Mei to accompany the old lady at night. It was for the same reason, just to keep an eye on her.

"This is the main house, you have to keep it for yourself, grandson." The old lady kept her mouth shut since she entered the house.

When he saw that Lin Yi had reserved the best room for him, he became anxious.

This is a new house, and she cannot live in a new house since half of her body is buried in the ground. According to some old customs, old people cannot live in new houses, so as not to leave bad luck after death.

The old lady was already very satisfied that Lin Yi was willing to let her live in the new house. Unexpectedly, she even reserved the best room for her.

"Grandma, this room is the largest, and it has a separate toilet. I asked Master Yang and his men to build it so it will be convenient for you to get up at night.

I am a young man and I cannot use this toilet. Please take a look at this toilet. Is it suitable for me to use?"

Lin Yi supported the old lady, lifted the curtain of the inner bathroom and showed it to the old lady.

The floor is paved with fired blue bricks, with cement joints. On the edges, there are handrails wrapped with thick cloth strips. The height of the handrails is also based on the height that the old lady is most accustomed to.

Especially the toilet, which is a simple toilet bowl made of blue bricks with an iron plate inside. There is also a large bucket next to it, connected to the tap water pipe outside. When the rope is pulled, it will flush itself and wash the dirt into the septic tank.

There is also a shower, but there is no water in the tank. If the old lady wants to take a shower, she just needs to sit on the wooden bench next to it, and the hose above will pour water down by itself.

The shower was mainly for Liu Mei to take care of. It was Liu Mei who always helped the old lady with bathing.

Taking into account the cold weather in the future, two heat sinks were installed in the bathroom and connected with iron pipes. The stove is outside the house. Put a few pieces of coal on it and seal the fire door. It can burn all day long and the house will be very warm.

It was just due to limited conditions and there was no water pump, otherwise, Lin Yi could have installed floor heating.

Before traveling through time, Lin Yi lived in the south, in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. The winters were so cold that it was unbearable.

There are three large rooms, and the one prepared for the old lady takes up an entire room. It not only has a kang for sleeping, but also a separate bathroom and a small living room. If the old lady wants to chat with others, she can have a place there and doesn't have to sit on the kang all day.

Moreover, through the large sunny window, one can see the scenery of the courtyard. There is also a pond dug outside, which is already filled with water. The red carp that Lin Yi has been raising is also in that pond.

The old lady was not only grinning, but her eyes were also filled with tears of excitement.

"Tomorrow I'll find some pottery pots and some soil. If you have some free time, you can plant some flowers. Ask Uncle Yi to make you a small watering can, which can also help you cultivate your character."

Lin Yi had even prepared the old lady's daily entertainment.

Outside, there is a nearly four-meter-wide eaves corridor, which is great for sunbathing in the winter.

In summer, the sun cannot get into the house and it won’t feel hot.

In fact, according to Lin Yi's idea, it would be better to build a sunroom in the corridor, but the room was still in short supply due to glass and so on, and it would be too conspicuous, so no one built it, leaving space for future renovations.

Liu Mei followed and looked at the house carefully. The layout of the house was different from the current mainstream layout. It looked like three large rooms from the outside, but inside, they were divided.
