The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Chapter 656 Demolition and Reconstruction

"Director, Director Liu, I have contacted several masters. How about we go and see how to build it? Director Liu, you can also tell the masters."

After hearing each other's words, Liu Minghui and Director Shen nodded with satisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Liu Minghui looked at Director Shen and said with a smile, "Director Shen is very busy, so I won't waste your time. Just let Deputy Director Zhang take me there."

After hearing this, Director Shen did not ask to go together. After all, she had shown enough goodwill to Liu Minghui just now.

There's no need to go there, and there's not that much time.

As the director of such a large street, she has a lot of things to do every day. The reason why she received Liu Minghui for such a long time was because she needed to ask Liu Minghui for some things.

That's why I'm so passionate.

After a while, the group arrived at Liu Minghui's new yard.

Looking at the dilapidated condition inside, even the old master would feel a headache.

I saw a few people walking around and carefully checking the situation before replying to Liu Minghui.

"Boss, this house can't be repaired. We can only tear it down and rebuild it. Besides, all the wood is broken and can't be used again."

An old master explained to Deputy Director Zhang.

"And you may not know this, but the cost of rebuilding is not low. It will cost about 7,000 to 8,000 yuan including the materials and labor."

Several of them were veterans in this line of work. They hammered around and found out the situation here, and also gave a price.

"Here, Director Liu, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Deputy Director Zhang turned to ask Liu Minghui. After all, she had to ask Liu Minghui what to do, and she couldn't make the decision for him.

"Okay, how long will it take to rebuild it? Will it be finished before the end of the year?"

Liu Minghui was not short of money. A mere few thousand yuan was almost all he had saved from his salary over the years. He put the expenses behind him. The main problem now was how long it would take to build the house.

He understood these things and could only ask these old masters.

As soon as the other party heard it, they understood that Liu Minghui was the owner of this yard. Since Liu Minghui asked so, they gathered together to discuss it.

It took a long time before someone came forward to respond.

"Leader, after discussing it, we feel that the construction period will be about three months to six months. It would be a bit difficult to start before the New Year. After all, it is only a few months away from the Chinese New Year. If it snows at the end of the year, it will be difficult to carry out the work."

The other party looked embarrassed.

"The price is fine, but can the speed be faster? It would be best if we can move in by the end of the year?"

"Can we find more people for this?"

Liu Minghui asked again.

"That's possible, but it's going to cost a lot more money, and it won't speed things up much either. The best we can do is try to get it done before the snow falls."

The people on the opposite side discussed for a while before answering.

"Then let's do it this way. Don't worry about the wages. I will pay you enough when the time comes."

When Liu Minghui heard that there was a way to get it done before the New Year, he of course had no objection. If it couldn't be done before the New Year, then he would at least have to wait until the snow melted next year before he could continue construction.

Wouldn’t it be a waste of two months in between?

"Okay, leader. But there is still one problem. That is the material. I wonder if the leader has any requirements?"

"Just follow the normal procedures. There's no need to do anything fancy."

Liu Minghui quickly replied that one cannot be too high-profile these days and it is better to be cautious.

"By the way, masters, the street office's warehouse still has a lot of wood left over from the demolition of old houses, such as doors and windows. How about seeing if we can use them? Director Liu, what do you think?"

After hearing the conversation between the few people, Deputy Director Zhang quickly stood up and spoke.

This was what Director Shen could have explained before coming here. Anyway, the wood was of no use in the warehouse, and it would be a waste to use it for burning firewood, so it would be better to do Liu Minghui a favor and give it to him.

By then, Liu Minghui will give the street office some money, and the matter will be settled.

These old masters also knew what Deputy Director Zhang said, and then looked at Liu Minghui and asked: "Leader, I don't know what to think, although these woods are a bit old, they must be good. Do you think we should use them?"

After all, anything that can be collected by the street office is not bad at all, and may even be better than what you buy on the market.

"That's no problem. Just arrange it as you see fit."

Of course Liu Minghui would not mind. It doesn't matter where you live these days. If possible in the future, he can just tear it down and rebuild it.

"Okay, that's a deal. We'll gather everyone and start construction tomorrow."

The old master nodded, and after the matter was settled, Liu Minghui and Deputy Director Zhang left first, leaving them here.

"Director Liu, now that this matter has been resolved, I will go back and tell Director Shen first."

After seeing that the matter was handled, Deputy Director Zhang said goodbye to Liu Minghui at an appropriate time.

"Okay, I won't delay your work. Remember to thank Director Shen for me and treat her to a meal some other day."

"I will definitely deliver it, Director Liu. I'll be leaving first."

After everyone left, Liu Minghui looked at the yard behind and couldn't help but smile.

That afternoon, Liu Minghui did not go to the steel rolling mill. Instead, he thought that since he was already here, he might as well go to his father-in-law's house and sit for a while.

Of course, Yu's father went to work, and only Yu's mother and Yu Haitang, who had not yet gone to work, were at home.

"Haitang, why are you still lying here? Aren't you going to work?"

"If you don't go in the next few days, believe it or not, the steel mill will just hire someone new."

When he arrived at Yu's house and saw the heartless Yu Haitang, Liu Minghui scolded her angrily.

"Hey, brother-in-law, didn't I tell you that in a few days, many of my friends will ask me to get together, I can't refuse."

Yu Haitang said impatiently.

During these holidays, few students in their class were admitted to university.

Most of them just get their diploma and then wait at home for job assignment.

Others didn’t know that Yu Haitang had a job, and her classmates thought she was just waiting for news at home.

He often asked her out to play, either going here or there. Yu Haitang was a playful person, and in a moment she completely forgot about going to the factory.

If Yu's mother hadn't reminded her all the time, she might have forgotten it.

"You stupid kid, your brother-in-law found you such a good job. If anyone outside knew about it, they would be jealous. Why do you still look like you don't want it?"

Yu's mother couldn't bear it anymore, so she reached out and pinched Yu Haitang's ear and scolded her.
