Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect

Given that Nie Aimin still wanted to continue working, Lin Xiangdong chose to respect his decision.

As soon as he stepped into the staff cafeteria, Lin Xiangdong saw a long queue.

When Qin Huairu first entered the restaurant, she did not queue up, but cut in line directly.

From Qin Huairu's first day on the job till now, she had intended to treat her job with great care; but it didn't take long for her to slack off.

All she had been thinking about lately was getting a promotion and becoming a full-time employee.

As for working hard? It was hard, boring work, and advancement was slow.

In the early days, Yi Zhonghai had devoted all his efforts to guiding Qin Huairu, but now his enthusiasm has diminished a lot.

In the factory, she moved around among many men, and gradually her reputation became worse and worse.

When it was Qin Huairu's turn, the honest comrade always gave her a full spoonful; the amount was almost twice as much as others.

The foolish and honest people always think that some undisciplined people in the factory are oppressing Qin Huairu, and they never think that "flies don't bite eggs in cracks."

In fact, maybe this foolish friend is not completely brainless, he just doesn't want to believe these facts.

After all, if someone pretends to be asleep, it will be in vain no matter how you try to wake him up.

However, Qin Huairu's methods were also very sophisticated, and she manipulated this honest man to the fullest.

When serving Lin Xiangdong, Mr. Yuzhi neither gave him special treatment nor treated him unfairly.

After enjoying the meal, Lin Xiangdong wandered around the factory to kill time.

During the two months near the end of the year, the workload was particularly heavy, and all employees had to put in a lot of effort to complete it.

For Lin Xiangdong, who is a projectionist, the definition is relatively broad.

However, when the factory's rest day comes, they will hold movie screenings one after another to ensure that every employee can watch the movie. At that time, Lin Xiangdong will have to work hard.

With the help of Nie Aimin on this day's screening, Lin Xiangdong felt more relaxed than usual.

Although Lin has not yet taught Nie the specific process, he can understand some tricks just by watching.

After the screening, Lin began to pack up his belongings and then returned home, leaving Nie Aimin with the responsibility of returning the equipment to the missionary room.

The wind was so cold that Lin Dongxiang couldn't help shivering.

As soon as he got home, he threw himself into his new plan.

Although the house was equipped with a heated kang and a charcoal stove, it still could not provide sufficient heating.

Since the quilt was not warm enough, Lin planned to install an underground heating system, also known as "ground dragon".

The so-called "ground dragon" is to build an underground chimney; the chimney has two openings, one for the outdoors and one for the indoors, and the flames burning here will bring the heat into the room.

This seems easy in theory, but it is quite difficult in practice.

So far, in the whole of Beijing, there are still very few residents who can own "ground dragons".

Lin already had some knowledge about "Earth Dragons" before traveling through time. Designs that were too complicated might be beyond his ability to handle, but he could handle the simple version.

Even if the effect may not be perfect, it can still improve the comfort level of the room to a certain extent.

Since he had a lot of free time, Lin Xiangdong started to install an "underground dragon" in his home.

Most people in the community were not optimistic when they learned about the incident.

If it were that easy to build underground heating, every home would be doing it already.

For everyone, controlling earth dragons is a technical job that is not something that ordinary people can easily master. It would be better to be practical and think about how to store more coal to survive the winter.

The cold winter season always makes people more dependent on coal; although residents with urban household registration can have a certain coal supply quota, it is often insufficient in real life.

Nowadays, in the community, when it comes to coal reserves, Sha Zhu's family has the poorest reserves. In comparison, the Jia family has abundant reserves.

Whenever Lin Xiangdong was working on the underground heating, the sound would not only spread throughout his own yard, but also be heard by his neighbors in front, behind, and on both sides.

Jia Zhang, who was burning coal for heating at home, twitched her mouth. She didn't believe that Lin Xiangdong had the ability to make a ground dragon.

If Lin Xiangdong could really create a ground dragon, it would be impossible unless Jia Zhang walked upside down...

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

During this period, Lin Xiangdong worked hard during the day and devoted himself to the earth dragon project when he returned home. Even so, bystanders such as Lou Xiao'e were not optimistic about the success of this project.

But after unremitting efforts, the earth dragon was finally completed.

From the moment it was completed, the warmth from the fire under the eaves was transmitted to the house through the underground heating channel. Lou Xiao'e in the house soon felt the warm atmosphere in the room.

For a moment, she felt a little surprised: with the combination of floor heating, heated couch and stove, she could not feel the cold of winter in the house at all.

Soon the news spread throughout the courtyard, and everyone flocked into Lin Xiangdong's nest.

The deaf grandma smiled and said, "It's so warm here!" Since the installation of the ground heating, the indoor temperature of Lin Xiangdong's house is as warm as late summer.

"It's really unexpected that this young man Dongfang can actually install the floor dragon!" "Dongfang is really a master!" "He can play videos, understand furniture making, and even install floor dragons. He's amazing!"...

At this time, the three old men showed eagerness in their eyes. They looked at Lin Xiangdong and asked, "Dongfang, can you help me install a floor dragon in my house?"

Lin Xiangdong responded, "No problem, the three uncles have said that it only costs 20 yuan to get it done. As for others, if they want to install it, they can't pay less than 30 yuan."

Hearing the price, the three uncles frowned slightly: "20 yuan is a bit expensive, isn't it?"

"Where do you want more money?" Jia Zhang muttered.

"What are you talking about? You want free service for laying a ground duct? Do you think a few dozen dollars is too much? Why don't you find out the market price? It's not too late to talk." Lin Xiangdong felt a little ridiculous about these questions: Don't you know that laying a ground duct costs nothing for building materials? Are there no engineering costs? Although it is natural for neighbors to help each other, it is really a bit unreasonable to let him work for nothing.

Then someone else said, "How about this, Dongfang, please install one at my house! And install one at my wife's house, too."

Liu Hai had some plans in mind but was unwilling to spend the money easily;

The same applies to the three uncles including Yan Bugui.

In the end, the first lady took out 40 yuan and gave it to Lin Xiangdong; in response, Lin also promised to install the necessary facilities for the two of them (Yi Zhonghai and his mother) before the Chinese New Year - if other neighbors also wanted to install it, there would be no guarantee that it would be completed before the Chinese New Year.

However, since Yi Zhonghai was willing to invest, Lin Xiangdong agreed to install floor heating for the Yi family and the old lady's home before the end of the year. This news greatly cheered up the old lady.

In addition, Yi Zhonghai paid Lin Xiangdong to install floor heating in the old lady's house, which won him a good reputation among the neighbors.

In fact, it is not a high price to install a floor heating system with only 20 yuan. If this matter spreads widely, I believe many neighbors will rush to invite Lin Xiangdong to help install floor heating. With this skill, he can easily earn about 100 yuan by installing a few sets a month, which is enough to make people jealous.

However, for Lin Xiangdong, money is no longer the main factor. After all, his wife is not short of money. In comparison, various supply coupons are more affordable, and he especially hopes to obtain national food coupons.

"I really didn't expect that you would take care of the floor heating yourself." Lou Xiao'e seemed a little unconvinced.

Recently, after finishing work every night, Lin Xiangdong has been busy and happy. Lou Xiaoe thought he was fooling around at first, but now it seems that the floor heating has indeed been successfully installed. Now the room is so warm that people are reluctant to leave.

"I thought you were doing something stupid." Lin Xiangdong said with a smile.

"What else are you good at?" Driven by curiosity, Lou Xiao'e asked. She found that Lin Xiangdong was not only able to play movies, but also knew some carpentry skills and assembled the floor heating by himself; in addition, he was also quite knowledgeable.

As an intellectual, Lin Xiang** can provide in-depth personal opinions when talking about various issues. If she is told that he was once a college student, Lou Xiaoe may be easily convinced.

"But I'm not capable of having children." Lin Xiangdong said solemnly after thinking for a moment.

In an instant, Lou Xiao'e's face turned red with embarrassment.

……

Jia's Residence

As soon as she got home, Mrs. Zhang from the Jia family started to scold her.

"That Lin Xiangdong is such a bad guy. He actually dared to charge fees for installing the floor heating and squeeze money out of the neighbors."

"How dare he charge 20 or 30 yuan! He is such a wicked man! He will definitely have no descendants in the future."

The more Mrs. Zhang cursed, the more sharp and harsh her words became.

Qin Huairu quickly closed the door and window frames to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping; honestly speaking, if it was Qin Huairu who knew how to install the floor heating, she would probably ask for about 40 yuan; in fact, Zhang herself was not so upright and felt that others had an obligation to help the Jia family, and if they did not, they would be unscrupulous.

But Mrs. Zhang firmly believed that Lin Xiangdong should help their Jia family install this floor heating facility for free.

At this time, Qin Huairu was actually very envious of Lou Xiaoe: Lin Xiangdong was not only a factory projectionist with a monthly salary of more than 30 yuan, and he would also receive benefits when he went to the countryside to show films, but he was also a skilled craftsman and knew how to assemble floor heating systems. As long as he worked a little harder, it was very likely that his monthly salary + extra income would be more than 1,000 yuan.

Even the ninth-class fitter in Yizhong only earns 99 yuan a month.

Seeing her mother-in-law's increasingly vicious words, Qin Huairu could not help but frown. In her mouth, it seemed as if Lin Xiangdong had committed a crime.

At least at present, Qin Huairu's moral standards have not degenerated as much as Zhang Tai's.

"Mom, after the New Year, I would like to ask Lin Xiangdong for help to install heating facilities in the basement of our house." Qin Huairu said to Mother Jia.

"That's twenty dollars. Can you think of that?" Mother Jia looked confused.

"It's too much. Three or five dollars will be enough. Otherwise, we can borrow some from Sha Zhu!" Qin Huairu thought about it and said.

Mother Jia laughed after hearing this.
