The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Chapter 654: Private House

At the steel rolling mill's building management department, Liu Minghui found Chief Dou and learned more about it. He found that it was very easy for him to move out. He just had to return the original house to the steel rolling mill and then move on.

"Okay, then, help me find some quieter houses. It would be best if I don't have to live in the same yard with others."

Liu Minghui thought, since we are moving away anyway, why not just find a house with its own entrance and yard in one go.

Then my family and I will be able to live comfortably here.

After understanding Liu Minghui's needs, Section Chief Dou ordered his subordinates to look up the information.

"Deputy Director Liu, we understand your request. How about we sit down for a while and let them find the information?"

As if to prevent Liu Minghui from disliking his inefficiency, Section Chief Dou explained to Liu Minghui seriously: "You also know that there are many people in our factory now, and housing has always been in short supply, so we still need to look for one."

Liu Minghui nodded when he heard this. Of course he knew about this, but he was not worried about making a wasted trip. After all, no one would be short of him.

Sure enough, not long after, a clerk came over with a document.

After explaining the matter to Section Chief Dou, he left.

"Deputy Director Liu, there happens to be a courtyard house with a private entrance and courtyard. You see, this will meet your requirements."

Section Chief Dou held a detailed list in his hand and explained it to Liu Minghui.

"Originally, this was to be assigned to an engineer in the technical department, but he rejected it, so I am still keeping it."

He was not interested in the engineer Liu Minghui mentioned by Section Chief Dou. He knew that technical talents were relatively scarce in steel mills, and steel mills generally offered better treatment to retain them.

Otherwise, what if you are poached by another factory?

"No, why? Is there something wrong with this house?"

Liu Minghui looked confused.

"Of course not. I can't give you a house with problems like this."

Section Chief Dou waved his hands and explained, "This house has been uninhabited for a long time, so it's a bit shabby."

Section Chief Dou looked at the document in his hand and continued.

"The layout of this house is also quite good. It consists of a main room, east and west wing rooms, and two side rooms."

As he spoke, Section Chief Dou suddenly felt a little embarrassed, probably because he saw the words "it's okay".

Finally, Section Chief Dou could only explain awkwardly, "Although the layout is good and the location is okay, it is now mostly collapsed. The engineer probably didn't want to spend money to repair it, so he didn't want the house."

After hearing this, Liu Minghui nodded in understanding. This matter was easy to deal with. As long as it was not a haunted house, he would not care so much.

"So where is this house located?"

Facing Liu Minghui's inquiry, Section Chief Dou looked at the document again and said, "This place is not far from the courtyard where you live now, and it is separated from the Street Office by a Shajing Hutong."

Liu Minghui was delighted when he heard this. Isn't this a coincidence? Yu Li's parents live in Shajing Hutong. It won't take Yu Li long to walk to work, and it will be convenient for her to go back to her parents' home. Having made up his mind, Liu Minghui nodded to Chief Dou.

"No problem, this is the one."

"However, I have to complete the formalities first, but I have to repair the yard before I can move out of my current place."

In order to avoid any mistakes, Liu Minghui also specifically instructed: "Don't tell anyone else, keep a low profile."

Liu Minghui mainly didn't want the people in the courtyard to know that he was going to move away, otherwise these people would definitely cause trouble.

The main thing is that Liu Minghui is, after all, a deputy factory director now and lives in the yard, so those who work in the steel rolling mill cannot establish any relationship with him.

But when people hear that the deputy director of the steel rolling mill is a neighbor of so-and-so, they will inevitably look up to him, thinking that this person may be related to Liu Minghui, so they have to be polite to him. Because they can't figure out the relationship, they have to think carefully to avoid making mistakes.

This is one of the reasons why there were some things in the hospital that could bother Liu Minghui before, but now there is nothing at all.

After all, everyone knows that if Liu Minghui is dissatisfied, he may move away at any time, which will not benefit anyone. Moreover, it may not be good to provoke Liu Minghui. It is better to be honest and not involve Liu Minghui's family.

This reason also protected He Yuzhu, because Liu Lin was Liu Minghui's cousin, and this relationship made people a little wary, which saved He Yuzhu from being schemed against by others.

"Ok, no problem."

Although Section Chief Dou was a little confused, he still nodded and answered.

Soon, Liu Minghui completed all the formalities here, although Section Chief Dou later hinted to him that it was okay if he didn't want to return the house in Yard No. 95.

However, Liu Minghui rejected the proposal just in case.

After all, he didn't need these houses. There was an empty house with three courtyards on Qianmen Street.

It will be more than ten years before Liu Minghui has the chance to show his skills. What's the use of hoarding more houses now? They are not valuable, so Liu Minghui has no idea of ​​collecting more houses.

Liu Minghui had never even visited the several courtyards that Lou Zhenhua left for him before he left, simply because he had no need to.

By the way, Liu Minghui didn't want to attract too much attention. After all, if he owned so many houses, it would arouse suspicion.

After finishing his work, Liu Minghui skipped work and went to Shajing Hutong with the key according to the specific location given by the Housing Management Section.

This place is close to the street office, and it only takes a few minutes to get there. It is also not far from Yu Li's parents' home. Liu Minghui looked carefully and found that it was only about ten households away. This means that his mother-in-law's home is just around the corner.

Liu Minghui took the key and opened the door. In an instant, the moment the door was opened, dust was raised. Liu Minghui walked in, covering his nose with his hand.

Looking at the dilapidated state of the interior, he immediately shook his head helplessly. Judging from the situation, it would take until after the New Year to repair it.

The main body of the house had basically collapsed, and even if there were still some walls standing, Liu Minghui had no intention of keeping them.

The main reason is that I’m afraid it’s unsafe. After all, this yard looks quite old.

It’s possible that it’s a building from one or two hundred years ago.

After taking a careful look around and finding nothing wrong, Liu Minghui turned around and went out to the street office.

This matter needs to be reported to the street office, and they should also help find some craftsmen to rebuild the house.

It would definitely be easier to find someone from the street office than Liu Minghui, because most of those craftsmen are affiliated with the street office.

In addition to people coming to their doorsteps on weekdays, the street office also finds work for them.

The street office usually looks for buildings that need repair from among these people, so the fastest way is to go directly to the street office for help.

This is much easier than Liu Minghui asking one by one.
