Traveling through 70's wine

On the tenth day, people from all walks of life had already returned to work. Wen Qing found Section Chief Li from the Housing Management Office, gave him a pack of tea and a bottle of wine, and said, "Section Chief Li, I went out for an internship and brought you some things." She handed the things to Section Chief Li.

Section Chief Li didn't expect Wen Qing to bring him something, and said happily, "Xiao Wen, you're so polite."

Then he took the initiative to talk about it, "The last time you looked at the house with a half courtyard, the owner's nephew brought a power of attorney. Are you still going to buy it?"

Wen Qing asked: "Can the ownership be transferred?"

Section Chief Li said: "I have checked his documents and they meet the conditions for transfer. If you want to buy it, I will notify him to come over to sign the contract."

Wen Qing agreed, and the two agreed on a time to come over to complete the formalities.

After leaving the Housing Management Office, Wen Qing went to the school-run factory and took a bag of tea to Director Liang. Although she paid for processing spare parts here last time, he also gave her convenience, right?

Director Liang felt that Wen Qing was very sensible. Wen Qing was not the only one who came to the school-run factory to process spare parts, and others did not remember the conveniences they provided like she did. The director felt that Professor Xu, who recommended Wen Qing to him, really had vision, and it was no wonder that she could become the head of the department.

After greeting everyone, Wen Qing went to Huashuijing Hutong and Yulin Lakeside to check the first and second courtyards she bought to see if anyone claimed that the courtyards were empty and to see if the door locks and houses were damaged. She didn't have time to renovate the two courtyards yet.

However, she thought that repairing the house should be put on the agenda, mainly because the second courtyard was too dilapidated and the house would collapse if it was not repaired.

However, the construction of a courtyard house is not just about building the house, it is also necessary to restore the old style, which is not something that an ordinary construction team can do.

After work in the afternoon, Section Chief Li took out the tea that Wen Qing sent him, made a cup of tea, and felt the smoothness and sweetness of it. He felt happy when he thought of the 2% information fee that Wen Qing promised.

After leaving a message for the people in the office, he strolled to an alley next to Huashuijing Hutong and found the nephew of the owner of No. 48 Majiaxiang, who was actually the son of the old servant, and asked, "Old Hu, the girl who wanted to buy a house is back. She said she wants to buy your uncle's yard. Do you have time tomorrow morning? Can you come over to handle the procedures?"

The man called Lao Hu was planing a board. He stood up and said, "Chief Li, I have time tomorrow and will go to wait for her early in the morning." He then invited Chief Li to come in and sit down.

Section Chief Li looked at the old furniture and various woods in the yard, and saw that there was no place to stay. He waved his hand and said, "No, no, I just came to say hello. Are your uncle and the others all right?"

Old Hu said with a sad face: "My uncle and aunt have suffered a lot in recent years, and their health is not good. Now they have gone to my second cousin's place. The money from selling the house will be used for medical treatment."

Section Chief Li also sighed. He also grew up here and knew the neighborhood well. He just consoled him, "It's good that he's still here. Take good care of him. Things will get better and better in the future."

The next day, Wen Qing arrived at 8:. Section Chief Li told Wen Qing about the owner's situation and finally said, "Girl, this house has been well maintained. Although the front yard is rented to other people, the house has not been damaged.

Although it is a one-and-a-half-yard house, it has many rooms and is no worse than a two-yard house. You can live in it after cleaning it up. Do you think you can pay a little more?"

To be honest, an extra 2 yuan was not a big deal for Wen Qing, so she said, "Chief Li, for your sake, I will give you yuan. Is that okay with you?"

Wen Qing also felt very sympathetic for the old man and old lady whom she had never met. Alas, there were many such things. When she encountered them, she could not pretend that they did not exist. Adding a little money was nothing. Section Chief Li was very happy to see that Wen Qing was straightforward.

Old Hu arrived after 9 o'clock. He gave the power of attorney to Wen Qing, and Wen Qing gave him 2 yuan. Old Hu saw the look in Section Chief Li's eyes and accepted the money silently. After counting the money, he put it in his bag. The two signed the contract, and Section Chief Li got the housing management certificate for Wen Qing.

After Lao Hu left, Wen Qing took out 400 yuan and gave it to Section Chief Li. Section Chief Li blushed and declined, saying, "Xiao Wen, since you have added money, Uncle Li also thanks you, so you don't have to pay me."

Wen Qing said, "Uncle Li, I am willing to pay more. It is none of your business. I still have to give you what you deserve."

In the end, Section Chief Li received 200 yuan.

Wen Qing asked again: "Uncle Li, do you know who can repair the yard?"

Section Chief Li said quickly, "You asked the right question. The old Hu we just asked is from a family that has been repairing houses since his father. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he joined the construction team and did the work of repairing houses."

Wen Qing said, "It's impossible for one person to repair the yard. Can he do it?"

Section Chief Li said, "Old Hu is now in the district construction team, and he has a group of people under him. Which yard do you want to repair?"

Wen Qing thought about it and decided to do the easy part first and then move on to the difficult part. She shared her ideas. First, she would renovate the first courtyard, then the courtyard at No. 48 Majia Lane, and finally the second courtyard by Yulin Lake. The main reason was that it was not easy to buy building materials now, so she had to buy them slowly.

Section Chief Li had lunch, took a nap in the office, and found time to go to Lao Hu's house in the afternoon.

Old Hu's house was also a courtyard house. He was working in the yard. When he saw Section Chief Li coming over, he was startled. He thought there was something wrong with the transaction in the morning, so he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Section Chief Li, what's the matter?"

Section Chief Li looked at the wood in the yard and asked, "Old Hu, are you still taking jobs repairing houses?"

Lao Hu said, "Yes, but we will accept it in the name of the construction team."

Section Chief Li told Lao Hu about Wen Qing's plan to repair the yard. Lao Hu thought about it and said, "Okay, but you have to find the materials yourself. Let Xiao Wen come to me."

Section Chief Li wrote a letter to Wen Qing and mailed it to Erxia Village. Wen Qing received the letter three days later and went to find Lao Hu. Lao Hu took him to see the courtyard. Their family had been taking care of No. 48 Majia Lane, so they were very familiar with it and did not go to see it.

After taking a look inside the yard, Lao Hu said, "There aren't many bad places in this yard. The main thing is that the walls need to be painted white, the ground needs to be scraped and re-bricked, the broken windows need to be replaced, and the wires in the house are old and should be replaced."

Wen Qing nodded and stated her request: "All the houses and sheds built in the back of the yard must be demolished, and the courtyard wall must be repaired. One of the two rooms in the west wing will be converted into a kitchen and the other into a bathroom. The east wing will be left empty for now."

The design drawing of the yard was handed to Lao Hu. She specially drew pictures of the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom in a modern house are more convenient to use.

Old Hu took the blueprint, looked at it carefully, and felt that this layout of kitchen and bathroom was very practical. He secretly calculated in his mind and gave Wen Qing a price.

"Xiao Wen, repairing the house requires lime, cement, glass, and wood. Although we don't need to rebuild the walls, some places still need to be reinforced, so bricks and tiles are still needed. The material cost is about 5000 yuan.

Here, I need to hire two master craftsmen and four or five laborers. The master craftsmen will be paid ten yuan per day, and the laborers will be paid five yuan per day. The construction period will be about ten days to half a month. We will pay after the house is repaired."

Wen Qing asked where to buy building materials. Lao Hu gave the addresses of several stores and said, "Go and contact them. These are the stores I often go to to buy things. When you go there, just say that Lao Hu introduced you to them. But you have to think of a way to get the wood."

Wen Qing thanked Lao Hu and said, "I'll get the materials ready and come back to see you."

After they broke up, Wen Qing rode her bike to a store that Lao Hu had introduced. It was a hardware and building materials store. The manager's surname was Fu. When he heard that Lao Hu had introduced her, he said to her, "Generally speaking, you need a receipt to buy things. But you were introduced by Hu Wenshan, and you didn't buy much, so I'll charge him for the building materials you wanted."

Wen Qing thanked him and quietly handed him a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes, which Manager Fu happily put into his pocket.
