Zhao Yafei was afraid that Xu Ning would make fun of her, so she ran away as soon as the get out of class was over.
Xu Ning did not ask any further questions. Even if he wanted to bring them together, he had to find out the intentions of both parties.
She also had to go back and ask Xiao An. In case he had other ideas, it would be better not to bring up the matter again.
After eating in the cafeteria, she did not go back to the dormitory to sleep, but rode her bicycle to the factory.
Grandpa Wang and Wang Erquan had just finished their meal and were discussing building a dormitory in the office.
Seeing her coming, Grandpa Wang asked hurriedly: "Xiaoning, have you eaten? If not, ask the canteen to make something for you."
"Grandpa Wang, no need! I came here after having lunch at school. How about the house you went to see today?"
Wang Erquan frowned and said, "We had already agreed on it, and Grandpa Wang and I were ready to pay, but the son of that family changed his mind and insisted that we add another 500 yuan."
The house they were talking about was not far from the factory and was a large yard. Several people went to see it a few days ago.
Xu Ning plans to buy the land and build dormitories there. When the time comes, all the workers will move there and no one will live here in the factory. The current dormitories will be converted into workshops.
Land cannot be bought and sold now, they can only buy houses.
"Grandpa Wang, Erquan, why did he raise the price at the last minute? Did someone else also like that house?"
“Probably not. That place belongs to Shitou Village, which is quite far from the city. People from the city won’t come here to buy such dilapidated houses.
Everyone in Shitou Village has land. The price of his house is enough to build a nice yard. Probably no one in the village would consider buying his house. ”
That's true. If this wasn't the only suitable yard nearby and it wasn't close to their factory, Grandpa Wang wouldn't have bought it at this price.
"Then leave him alone for two days. Erquan, go ask around in the village to see if anyone has visited him in the past few days."
After thinking for a while, he said, "If someone competes with us for this yard, we will buy it even if it costs a little more.
The dormitories must be repaired as soon as possible. If the workers don’t move out, there will be no way to expand the factory.
June and July are the times when fruits are ripe, so we should store more canned fruits this year.
Therefore, we must take down that house and build a five-story dormitory building. Even if more workers are added in the future, there will be enough space for them to live in. ”
Wang Erquan said seriously: "Sister-in-law, I understand. I will go to the village to inquire about it this afternoon."
Grandpa Wang stopped him and said, "Let the gatekeeper, Old Shi, go and ask around. He knows the village well."
When buying this courtyard, Lu Xiaotang promised Lao Shi to let him come and look after the house.
When the factory opened, Grandpa Wang personally went to invite the old Shi couple over and asked them to guard the gate.
Give the couple 60 yuan per month, and provide them with food and accommodation, and they will be responsible.
It was absolutely impossible for a stranger to enter the factory. When his daughter and son-in-law came to visit the old couple, they talked outside the door.
Before the New Year, Xu Ning asked Xiao An and Xiao Mo to come and get canned food and snacks as New Year gifts.
Lao Shi didn't know them and refused to let the brothers in no matter how they explained.
Finally, Wang Erquan was called out and the two of them entered the factory.
When Xiao Mo left, he praised him for being responsible and asked Wang Erquan to give him a certificate of honor, saying that such responsible people must be praised.
Lao Shi was very happy after hearing what Xiao Mo said. From then on, he paid more attention to the affairs of the factory.
Are there people from nearby villages who come here to ask what is done inside? They were all driven away by him.
After receiving the order, Lao Shitou returned to the village in a high-spirited manner, and came back to report about an hour later.
"Grandpa, boss, Director Wang, I found out that a female comrade went to Shi Qiang a few days ago and said she wanted to buy his house.
When Shi Qiang saw that so many people were vying to buy his house, he wanted to raise the price.
He asked another store to add 500 yuan, but the other store owner thought it was too expensive and said he would think about it again.
No one has come to see him these past two days, so Shi Qiang is a little anxious now, thinking that he asked for too high a price and scared you all away.
Boss, if you want to buy it, go to him now. He will definitely not dare to raise the price. ”
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Grandpa Shi, thank you for your hard work."
Lao Shi waved his hands happily and said, "What's so hard about this? I'm happy to contribute to our factory. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me to do it. I'm in good health."
A few people smiled and sent him out. Grandpa Wang said, "I will go to the village now to test their attitude and tell them that if they don't want to sell it, we won't consider it.
If they still want Qiao, let Erquan buy it tomorrow at the price he mentioned yesterday. We can't waste any more time for five hundred dollars. ”
Xu Ning nodded and said, "Okay, Grandpa Wang, I'll do as you say!"
Grandpa Wang rode his bicycle to the village.
