Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 61 Don’t want a building but a big yard

In this era, many people really want to live in buildings. But in the future when there will be buildings everywhere, this building will be nothing. Luo Cheng would like to live in a courtyard-type house like Sijiu City in the capital, but there are very few in Ngee Ann, and those who have have been arranged.

“Luo Gong, you are not satisfied with this two-story building. What kind of house do you want to live in?”

Xiao Liu, who came with Luo Cheng, took Luo Cheng with him on his bicycle to follow the street office and watched several sets. For him, they were all houses that he couldn’t even imagine, but Luo Cheng hadn’t decided which one to live in yet. If this is an ordinary worker, sometimes he can be assigned wherever he is assigned, and there is no choice.

“No, I know this house is very good. I’m not picky. I just want to live in a bungalow with a yard. I’ve been used to living in the countryside since I was a child, and I’ve always wanted a house with a yard.”

After hearing what Luo Cheng said, Xiao Liu didn’t know what to say. At first, he thought it was Luo Cheng who was picky. Now I don’t want to live in the building anymore, I want to live in a bungalow. However, there are fewer bungalows with yards now. There used to be many. In recent years, the houses with yards have been converted into small houses.

“Okay, Luo Gong, I’ll go ask you again and see if there’s anything that suits what you want.”

“I’m sorry to bother you, but if there is really no suitable one, I want this building.”

Luo Cheng didn’t want a house like a courtyard house, and even if it existed, it would be impossible for him to live alone. But he wanted a small courtyard, and if this two-story building had a small courtyard next to it, he wouldn’t choose it anymore.

If you want a small yard, your requirements for a house are not too high. Xiao Liu went to the subdistrict office again and explained Luo Cheng’s thoughts. The extra requirement was indeed not too high, and it was not because he disliked the small house or lack of rooms.

In fact, there are quite a few houses with yards, but nowadays such houses are basically located near the outskirts of the city, and the houses are not very good, with wooden houses, adobe houses and the like. Engineers like Luo Cheng must be equipped with matching brick and tile houses after all.

The director of the subdistrict office helped Luo Cheng think about it for a long time, and suddenly he thought of a place that suited Luo Cheng’s requirements. And it’s not far from the auto repair shop, but that place is really incomparable to a two-story building. But there seems to be nothing more suitable.

You can’t arrange a large courtyard house for Luo Cheng like the big leader lives. Luo Cheng is not qualified to live in such a house.

Since it was still dark and the house was not far from here, I decided to make another trip. Luo Cheng also agreed with the director of the subdistrict office that if he didn’t like it this time, he would want the small two-story building he just looked at.

This time, the director of the sub-district office did not let anyone else take Luo Cheng and the others to see the house, but took them there himself, because there were still some formalities for this house that had not been resolved, and the people below did not know that this house was vacant.

It’s about ten minutes away, and it’s indeed not far from the car repair shop, and Xiao Liu, the security guard at this house, is familiar with it.

“Director Xiao, isn’t this right? This is not the waste recycling station.”

“Yes, this house was indeed used as a scrapyard. People moved there and opened a recycling point here. But it was too small for a recycling depot. The location had been changed a long time ago. It was only completely cleaned out a while ago. This house is still there. I haven’t re-registered yet.”

Director Xiao had the key and opened the courtyard door directly.

In fact, the yard is quite large, with three rooms and a concave structure. Like Luo Cheng’s current house in Longyang Town, there is the main house in the middle, but here there are side rooms on both sides. The space from the middle of the house to the entrance of the courtyard is not small. Of course, this is only for residents, so it’s not small. But if it’s used to recycle waste, it might not be that big of a deal. There were awnings erected on both sides of the yard but they were not removed. This awning should be used to store waste paper or something.

The walls of the house are quite dirty, and the inside of the room is a bit shabby, but with some simple tidying up and repairs, it looks good.

However, in this era, a house like this is much better than a single-room bungalow, but it is really incomparable to the two-story small building I just looked at. The building I just looked at has a wooden staircase, a kitchen and a balcony. It has been renovated. You only need to get some furniture and you can live in it directly.

In addition to the relatively large yard, these three rooms are not very impressive.

“That’s it, I like it.”

“Luo Gong, don’t be confused. Director Xiao, please wait a moment. I’ll say a few words to Luo Gong.”

Hearing that Luo Cheng wanted to choose this one, security guard Xiao Liu hurriedly pulled him aside and persuaded him that the courtyard was better than the ordinary bungalow, at least it was considered a detached house, but compared with the small building he just looked at, it was really not that good. Exquisite. That house is better than the guest house room.

Here, the brick house is a brick house, but there is nothing else. The street office said that it will repair it, but at most it will send people to hang up the door and check whether the door is broken and whether it is leaking. Is it possible? I hope someone will decorate it.

Moreover, the combined area of ​​the three rooms here is not much larger than that of the second floor.

Luo Cheng thought for a while and realized that this was true, but it was based on the condition that it was not renovated. Because the houses allocated by the higher authorities are all subject to rent, many people who are allocated houses will basically not spend any money on decoration. So a small building with decoration is definitely good.

But Luo Cheng knew that unless he was reassigned due to a job transfer, the house he lived in would become his own in the future. And even if he is transferred, if he is someone with an administrative level like Luo Cheng, if Luo Cheng places his family in a separate house, the Organization Department will really not kick him out.

It would be nice to have a yard, where it is convenient to dry things. When the weather is hot, you can also get a bamboo bed and sleep outside. Don’t be afraid of too many guests or relatives coming over. Don’t be too comfortable by setting up a few tables in the yard. Then get a grape vine and plant something in the yard. What’s so strange about that two-story building?

The mind has been made up, and persuasion is useless. Luo Cheng went directly to Director Xiao and confirmed that he wanted this house. However, it was getting late and he would come back tomorrow to go through the formalities. So we parted ways with the director of the subdistrict office here, and Luo Cheng and Xiao Liu returned to the factory first.

Director Xiao actually knew that this courtyard was a little worse than a building. Anyway, the formalities couldn’t be completed today, so Luo Cheng could think about it for one night. When he came tomorrow, it wouldn’t be too late to change to a building.

Luo Cheng and Xiao Liu returned to the security room of the repair shop. It was already time to eat. But there wasn’t much food in the cafeteria tonight, because most of the repairmen and even the apprentices in the factory had been picked up by a shuttle bus.

At this point, cars are being repaired at the bus station, and the people who go to work overtime don’t complain, and are even happy. When you go to the bus station to repair your car, you have to provide a meal, and it can’t be too bad. With this saved meal, the family can eat more.

And even if no one in the factory went to the bus station today, the cafeteria wouldn’t have too many meals in the afternoon. Because many people choose to eat at home, and it is not free in the canteen. Food stamps and meal tickets also cost money.
