Siheyuan: First-class Merit at the Start

The next day, Qin Huairu, as a new daughter-in-law, started preparing breakfast at the Yi family early in the morning.

This scene attracted the attention of the neighbors in the yard.

After all, just before yesterday, Qin Huairuke was the wife of Yi Zhonghai's deceased apprentice!

What kind of plot is unfolding here?

On the other side, in the backyard, an old lady got up early and cooked breakfast as usual. The only difference was that the place where she cooked was changed from the middle yard to the backyard, and the person serving her was changed from Yi Zhonghai to a deaf old lady.

Just when Li Polu and Chen Xi were having breakfast at home, Xu Damao suddenly broke in.

"Brother, is what's being said outside true?"

The sudden question left Li Polu completely confused.

"What's that? Why can't I understand it?"

"Just tell me you want to move out of our yard!"

Hearing this, Li Bolu turned his head in confusion and looked at Chen Xi beside him.

Seeing Li Polu looking at her, Chen Xi scratched her head a little embarrassedly, and then said awkwardly: "Well, Uncle Wang allocated a private courtyard from the Industrial Department to you. You were not there at the time, so he told me about it. After you came back, I completely forgot about it."

Li Bolu didn't say anything about this.

Then he turned to Xu Damao and said, "Well, this is what happened, and you heard it. But where did you hear the news about this? I don't even know!"

"How would I know that? I just heard it from the old ladies in the hospital. As soon as I heard it, I came to you to confirm it!"

When Li Polu heard this, he realized that it was spread by the old ladies in the courtyard, so forget it! It would be a miracle if he could find the source.

Not long after, Xu Damao said goodbye and left.

After breakfast, Li Bolu also followed Chen Xi out.

Now that you have a new house, you must go and see it. If the house is good, you will definitely move out.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the courtyard, the old and young women who were originally sitting together eating melon seeds immediately started a discussion.

"Have you heard? It seems Li Polu is moving!"

"I've heard about this, too. I guess they're just going to look at the new house now."

"It seems to be the case, but I am confused. You said that Li Polu is working in some unit and he is not at home for many days. How can he get another house?"

"Yes! If he, who does nothing all day, can get a room, then can my family get one too?"

"What do you mean by housing allocation? I heard it was a reward? And it was a reward from the higher-level unit."

"You are out of date! I heard that it was Chen Xi's family who used some help and got in through the back door."

"Is this true? Does Li Polu's wife have such great abilities?"

"Hey, you don't understand this! Think about it carefully. Ever since the girl appeared in our courtyard, has her clothes ever been patched? And, look at the things she uses, are there any cheap ones?"

"Don't tell me. Don't tell me, it seems to be true!"

"That's not the case. Li Polu, what ability does he have? He used to be a section chief in a steel mill, but in the end, he was nothing. In the end, he was even fired. In the end, he is just a gigolo.

So, sometimes, in life, choice is more important than hard work.

When my son looks for a wife in the future, I will also find him one with a good background.

This is much better than working hard on your own. It can save you at least 20 years of detours!"

After hearing this, the women, young and old, in the yard all looked at the woman who had just spoken with complicated expressions.

His son, what can I say? He is taller than a bench. His waist is thicker than a bucket. Even a durian is flatter than his face.

You already look like this, but you still want to work twenty years less.

If I looked like this, I might as well just dig a hole and bury myself in it. I would save myself 50 or 60 years of detours.

After a moment of silence, someone else spoke up, "What do you think will happen to the house in this compound if Li Polu moves away?"

"What else can we do? Of course we have to take it back. The new house was not given by the steel mill. We can't take back the house that was given to us by the steel mill just because they have a new house!

Besides, Li Polu didn't take it when he left. Now that he's no longer in office, do you think it's appropriate to take it back?"

"Then tell me, what should we do?"

"If you ask me, this house in the yard should belong to Li Polu.

But since he has a new house, it is not appropriate for him to occupy the old house. He should make room for people in need in the courtyard.

It just so happens that my son is getting ready to get married, so I need this right away.

I think I should borrow it first, for emergency use!"

"No, why should we give it to your family first? My family is more anxious than you! We only have one room. Now I am sleeping on the same kang with my father-in-law. I think my family should use it first. Let me and my husband move out first."

Hearing this, some smart person suddenly said, "A kang? Isn't that good? Your family doesn't need to worry!"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent again.

On the other side, Li Bolu followed Chen Xi out of the courtyard and turned a corner. It was estimated that they walked less than 100 steps in total, and then they saw Chen Xi stopped in front of a big door.

Li Polu looked back and was amazed. Love is around the corner!

Chen Xi took out the key and opened the door.

"Brother, we are here!"

Li Polu walked into the yard and saw it. He exclaimed, "Wow, Old Wang is really awesome!" He actually came out of the yard as soon as he entered.

Li Polu vaguely heard someone talking about him.

As we walked towards the corner of the yard, the discussion became louder and louder.

Li Polu closed his eyes and thought about the route he had just taken.

He opened his eyes again and looked at where he was standing.

I probably have made up my mind.

This courtyard should be adjacent to the central courtyard of the quadrangle.

However, the main gate was located in another alley.

As for the issue of reclaiming the house that the people in the courtyard were discussing, Li Bolu could only say that they were all dreaming.

When he first moved into the courtyard house, he exchanged it for a house in the big compound.

In other words, the two rooms in the courtyard are actually his private property.

This was also the main reason why his house was not taken back after he resigned from the steel mill.

The other reason, of course, was that the factory director at that time, Li Huaide, was a good person.

I didn't ask about this at all.

There are two main types of houses in this era. One is the house allocated by the work unit. In this type of house, you have the right to live in it. The ownership still belongs to the work unit or the local street office.

For a house of this nature, once you stop working there, the house will naturally be taken back.

The other type is the original private property.

The state still recognizes a large portion of the house deeds and land deeds before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Such houses are naturally your personal assets. Whether you live in them or not, as long as you take out the house deeds, the relevant units will recognize them.

Li Bolu's house in the courtyard house just happens to be of the second nature.
