Chapter 301

The two of them shuttled through the alleys in this area.

The winding paths lead to secluded and ancient alleys and courtyards, which are down-to-earth and beautiful.

Many of the houses on both sides are short, with one floor and one basement, and the floors are not very high.

However, in this day and age, such a yard and house are already very good.

Zhang Lin and his companion walked into a relatively narrow alley, and from a courtyard with the gate open, they heard a burst of crying.

"What should we do? How come the boss broke his leg and offended someone?"

An old lady's voice, a little sad, but gentle and restrained, with a strong flavor of local dialect.

It's quite different from their place.

"Mom, don't cry. Now we have to find a way to keep the eldest son's job."

A girl was choking up.

"How can I protect my job if I offend my superiors? Unless a higher-level leader speaks up."

"Or buy another job."

"It's free to buy a job. In today's market, each one costs seven or eight hundred. You have to buy a good job first. I've been working here for more than ten years and I'm already a workshop manager. If I change jobs, it will definitely not be as good as this one..."

"Before your son got married, and the old and young had to work, they had basically drained all the money in the family. How could there be so much money now?"

Zhang Lin and Zhang Guosheng looked at each other and stopped at the same time.

Although the family forgot to close the door, probably because they were too panicked and didn't pay attention, the noise was not loud, and they probably didn't want to alarm the neighbors and be laughed at.

After discussing for a long time, it was still unclear whether they could keep the money or the job.

"Mom, the unit will soon be able to allocate housing."

…

Half a day later, the house was in our hands.

Although the yard is a bit messy, it is very well preserved and would be perfect for opening a teahouse or something like that in the future.

Even if they don't have time to open a teahouse, they can still sell it or rent it out.

Thinking about the future value of the house and the fact that the other party was indeed in trouble, Zhang Lin gave the other party an ordinary lucky charm when the other party's boss went to give a gift.

The next day, when Zhang Lin went to sign the rental agreement with the other party, the other party's problem had already been resolved.

Thanks to the gift and the lucky charm, the other party was able to solve the problem very smoothly.

Rent a house for two years and pay one year's fee in one lump sum.

Within these two years, the other party must solve the problem of the unit’s family housing on their own.

Two years later, it was basically 1980, and the environment was much better.

If there are other issues, we can discuss them later.

Zhang Lin couldn't live here anyway, so it would be much less troublesome if someone rented the place.

Zhang Guosheng was determined not to buy a house this time, but he wanted to pay for one for each of his two younger sisters.

In the end, Zhang Lin couldn't win the argument, and the two of them made a choice. Two days later, they bought another house with a similar location and yard to this one, and prepared to settle down with Zhang Wantou.

Finally, with Zhang Lin's insistence, Zhang Guosheng also bought a yard.

Zhang Lin planned to buy a few more houses in the 1980s after the property rights were confirmed.

All major cities have some.

A few days later, Chen Yuwei and Zhang Yaowen sent the two of them to the train, and she went back to work.

Chen Yuwei has already applied for a job transfer, and she will be going to Beijing in less than a month.

"Linlin, big brother!"

When the two got off the train, they saw Qin Chengfeng, Zhang Wan, and Su Qingchen waving outside.

Su Qingchen is already over fifteen years old, over 1.8 meters tall, thin but very well-proportioned. From the side, his figure looks as if it was cut by a knife, thin but very upright.

This figure looks thin no matter how much clothes she wears, with some flesh on the body and a long neck. It is indeed the type that Zhang Lin liked in his previous life.

However, the person I have seen since childhood is not that attractive.

In the past two years, almost every year, Su Qingchen would go to the county town to visit his aunt twice. Although he only stayed for a few days or ten days each time, they saw each other every year and were no strangers to each other.

Thanks to his nice family, when he went to his aunt's house, his in-laws not only had no objections, but were very excited and wished he could go there every holiday.

"Linlin, I applied to the same school as you."

Su Qingchen was all smiles.

He was also interested in the polytechnic school, but he hoped to study with Zhang Lin.

This is a dream I've had since childhood, and now I finally have the chance to make it come true. Of course I can't give up.

This time, Zhang Lin did not go to Zhang Jiazhu, but went to the courtyard of the former Fang family.

After the Fang family moved out, this yard was going to be confiscated and arranged for another family to move in.

Zhang Wan used her network of props and several other channels to keep the main yard. The backyard and front yard were temporarily given up, with three families living in each. The family living in the back house in the front yard had a particularly large population, and as there were fewer rooms in the front yard than in the backyard, only one family lived there.

Zhang Wan made some special changes, separating the main courtyard and leaving a side corridor for people in the backyard to enter and exit.

In this way, the main house is considered an independent small courtyard.

There are kitchens and toilets inside, the environment is elegant, very nice.

Zhang Lin and Zhang Guosheng moved in directly, and everything inside was prepared.

The bedrooms in the main house were reserved for Zhang Yaowen and Chen Yuwei, and there was another empty room where grandpa, grandma, or grandmother could stay when they came to Beijing.

Zhang Guosheng's room was arranged in the east wing, and Zhang Lin lived in the west wing.

There are also two private rooms, one of which is used as a guest room and the other as a storage room.

This courtyard is not too big, but that is only compared with Zhang Wan's courtyard and those big courtyards.

For ordinary people, such a courtyard house is already the best.

Although she agreed to give up part of the house at first, Zhang Wan still requested that she choose neighbors with suitable personalities.

Therefore, although these families have their own personalities, none of them are extreme or have bad behavior.

With the addition of Mr. Zhang and Qin Chengfeng, who would come over to take a look whenever they had nothing to do, those other families didn't dare to cause any trouble.

Although at the beginning, he had some objections to Zhang Wan being forced to stay in the main courtyard.

Many owners of other courtyards only kept the main house and gave up the others.

But the Zhang family is different; they cannot afford to offend them.

This society is so realistic.

You know, in the 1980s, when the Siheyuan was first returned to the people, many of them were controlled by people with connections...

Zhang Wan simply redecorated the courtyard house according to the family's preferences, and the style was completely different from when the Fang family was there.

More romantic and quiet.

Zhang Lin liked it very much at first sight.

"Wanwan, thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Guosheng was also surprised.

In that era, it was not easy for their family to live in such a suitable house when they first arrived in Beijing.

This is the house, and they are actually the real owners.

While Zhang Lin was packing his things, he clicked on the use of several additional courtyards that he had drawn in the past few years.

One of the sets was directly under Zhang Wan's name.

There is another set, which is under the names of Zhang Yaowen and Chen Yuwei.

These houses are all three-courtyard quadrangles.

In addition to the two sets that Zhang Lin used in the past few years, he also has three sets under his own name.
