"Second uncle, there are a lot of dishes left in the kitchen today, so I brought two extra items and went to my house for a drink in the evening." Seeing the second uncle asking, Shazhu laughed.
"Don't be in a hurry to drink. I want to inform you that there will be a meeting in the whole hospital tonight. No one should be missing." Smelling the aroma of the food, the second uncle started to drool, but he did not forget the business and said.
"What's going on? Our courtyard hasn't held a conference for a long time." When he heard about the meeting, Shazhu stopped and asked.
"It's about the house. The street just announced that a big boss wants to buy a house in this area. Let each household discuss whether they want to buy this house." The second uncle replied.
"Someone wants to buy our courtyard house. Who is so rich? Also, second uncle, the house is where we live. If it is sold, where will we live?
We are not like you. My son split the house and moved out. I still have Bangchui and they only live in the courtyard. "I heard someone buying medicine from Siheyuan.
Silly Zhu's first reaction was not to sell it, because if he sold it, he would have no place to live.
"If you have money, you are still afraid of not having a house. I heard from people on the street that the buyer is a big boss, and the price offered is high enough for us to buy a house elsewhere." Liu Haizhong shrugged and said:
"If you have any questions, you can just ask them during the meeting tonight. I have something else to do, so I'll see you later."
"The price is very high, no matter how high it can be, I won't move it anyway." Silly Zhu shrugged and walked to his room carrying his things.
The courtyard is full of love!
If Lei Weidong was here, he would definitely recognize the two people in front of him.
The older man is Liu Haizhong, the second uncle in the courtyard.
The younger one, a middle-aged man in his fifties, is He Yuzhu, also known as Silly Zhu.
The TV series has 46 episodes, telling the story of a courtyard house in the capital spanning more than 30 years from the 1960s to the 1990s.
The protagonist He Yuzhu, nicknamed "Silly Zhu", is the chef of the canteen of the steel rolling mill. As his name suggests, he is straightforward, outspoken, humorous and kind, and always takes revenge. He often offends people in the courtyard and the factory, and his popularity is average. He is still single in his thirties.
The heroine is Qin Huairu, a steel factory worker who lives in the same courtyard. Her husband died of a work-related injury. She is filial and capable, but her life is difficult.
She was widowed at a young age, with an elderly mother-in-law and a son or two daughters. She was fierce and strong, but also resolute and upright, supporting the whole family with her thin shoulders.
Xu Damao, a projectionist at a steel rolling mill, is selfish and is the enemy of Sha Zhu. He is the second male lead in the TV series.
In addition, there are three old workers in the yard, known as the first uncle, the second uncle, and the third uncle. They are highly respected in the courtyard. If anything happens in the yard, the three uncles will coordinate and solve it.
After the TV series was aired, it became very popular and the ratings exploded.
However, after watching, everyone found that the three views of the TV series were somewhat incorrect. The first uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle, Xu Damao, Qin Huairu and her Jia Zhang family had three children.
I'd say he's a bad guy, but he didn't do anything bad or smoking.
It's not right to call him a good person. He is the kind of selfish little citizen who only thinks about himself.
For example, the heroine Qin Huairu seems to be kind-hearted, filial, and capable, but she is really scheming. She is a scheming bitch, and she plots against He Yuzhu to death.
In the 1960s, even if prices were low, it was not easy to support a family of five with Qin Huairu's salary of 27.5 yuan.
So she was frugal while thinking of solutions.
Because Sha Zhu helped Qin Huairu out of a moment of kindness, she and her three children ended up relying on Sha Zhu. Even the eldest son's tuition was paid by Sha Zhu on their behalf.
Every time Sha Zhu brought the food back from the cafeteria, Qin Huairu would take it to his home. Whenever Sha Zhu goes on a blind date with another woman, Qin Huairu will be secretly unhappy, and in the end directly destroys Sha Zhu and Teacher Ran.
From neighbor to sister, and then to daughter-in-law, Qin Huairu gradually took control of Sha Zhu and led the whole family to drain Sha Zhu's capital like vampires.
Qin Huairu's three children have known how to take advantage of Silly Zhu since they were young.
Sophora japonica is thinking about the delicious food in the lunch box every day. Xiaodang knows that taking things from Uncle Silly is nothing, but Banggeng is sweeping up everything from peanuts to cabbage hearts every day. Don't let it go.
Like wolf cubs that cannot be fed enough, the three children are getting bigger and bigger.
When Shazhu and Qin Huairu confirmed their relationship and prepared to get married, Qin Huairu's mother-in-law was reluctant at first because she was afraid that she would have no one to support her in old age and would not allow her daughter-in-law to remarry.
Silly Zhu immediately promised that he would serve the old lady as his own mother.
But after just getting rid of Qin Huairu's mother-in-law, Qin Huairu's eldest son was no longer willing. In this way, Shazhu waited for Qin Huairu for 8 years!
During these 8 years, although Sha Zhu was still a bachelor, Qin Huairu received all of Sha Zhu's salary into his own pocket, and even more frequently took food and meals from Sha Zhu's house.
He also moved the TV series that Silly Zhu just bought home to his daughter's house. When she found out that Sha Zhu had no job, her first reaction was a black face. She was also worried that Sha Zhu would not have the money to pay a dowry for her daughter?
There were several eight years in his life, and it wasn't until Shazhu approached the big boss to ask Bangchui to drive for him in an agency, which was a lucrative job in the early 1980s, that Bangchui agreed to his mother's marriage to Shazhu.
But he didn't feel the slightest bit grateful to Silly Dad, and Silly Zhu made fun of him even though he was unemployed.
Huaihua and Xiaodang, two seemingly sensible little girls, were thinking about how their silly father saved their dowries every day, so they moved away the TV set that Silly Zhu bought for 400 yuan without even looking at it.
Shazhu and Qin Huairu have been married for many years and have no children. The original three rooms, his own, his sister's, and the deaf old lady's, were all occupied by Qin Huairu's children.
Shazhu was forced to live with Qin Huairu and her mother-in-law. He didn't even dare to make any noise about the matters between the husband and wife. He was speechless thinking about it.
Silly Zhu couldn't stand the incessant blood sucking. He was just a cook, not a big capitalist, so he could not help but suck blood every day. It was okay when the three children were young, but they became addicted when they were older.
Just then, the savior came.
Lou Xiao'e, the daughter of a capitalist and the ex-wife of Xu Damao.
Movie projectionist Xu Damao is the villain in the TV series.
He is indeed bad, greedy for money, lustful, smooth-tongued, and changes his mind when he sees things different. He also said without shame: "The red flag does not fall at home, but the colorful flags are flying outside."
He is more like an old rooster who only knows how to crow but cannot lay eggs. He looks like he is showing off his power, but in reality he is timid when faced with tough situations.
He can betray his wife for the sake of her.
In order to get promoted, you can sell your ex-wife.
In order to make a fortune, you can do whatever it takes.
In order to retaliate, report the neighbor. It seems so bad, but so simple and pure.
Such a bad man must be paired with an equally bad woman, and Qin Huairu's cousin Qin Jingru is the perfect candidate. This charming country girl wanted to squeeze into the city, and like a greedy mountain civet, she disrupted Lou Xiao'e's marriage.
Lou Xiao'e was married to Xu Damao but never had children. Until the divorce, she didn't even know that her husband had a lover outside.
After divorcing Xu Damao, Lou Xiao'e, who had no place to go, temporarily stayed in the house of an old deaf lady.
The deaf old lady is the "ancestor" of the whole hospital. She is old and confused, deaf and blind, and she can see people most accurately.
She was well aware of Xiao'e's kindness and Huairu's greed, so she tried her best to bring Xiao'e and Zhuzi, two silly and kind people together.
It's a pity that fate plays tricks on people, and love is deep but shallow. The short-lived love between Zhu Zhu and Xiao'e can only be short-lived, and was finally destroyed by Qin Huairu.
As a last resort, Lou Xiao'e left for Xiangjiang. Before leaving, she had a one-night stand with Sha Zhu, so that more than ten years later, she brought Sha Zhu's biological son back to the courtyard to find Sha Zhu.
Seeing Lou Xiao'e coming with her children, everyone who was afraid of Sha Zhu began to kidnap Sha Zhu morally.
As a result, Lou Xiao'e and her son, who made a fortune and became capitalists in Xiangjiang, became the targets of Sha Zhu's blood-sucking, and the money they earned was continuously invested in the courtyard by Sha Zhu.
Many viewers who have watched the TV series said that in the TV series, except for the old lady and Lou Xiao'e, none of them are good people. Silly Zhu is a bastard who doesn't know the difference between right and wrong, and will lick Qin Huairu until he dies.
However, these had nothing to do with Lei Weidong. He had never thought of having anything to do with the people in the courtyard, even if the courtyard where Shazhu and others lived happened to be within the scope of Guojun Prince's Palace and was to be acquired by him.
The status difference between the two parties was too great. Lei Weidong would not show up at all. Only Secretary Wang and others could come forward to handle things smoothly.
That night.
At about six o'clock, the second uncle found a gong somewhere. He stood in the yard and beat it again and again and shouted loudly,
"Everyone, please pay attention. There will be a meeting in half an hour. There will be a meeting of the whole hospital. Come out by then. Everyone, come out. Also, inform the following if you are not here. Try to come back as soon as possible. Tonight's meeting is related to the fate of our whole hospital. .”
"It's related to the fate of the whole hospital. Second uncle, you have such a strong tone." Xiao Dang walked out of the middle courtyard with a chicken leg and gnawed on it, saying, "We haven't finished our meal yet."
"Your stupid dad didn't tell you anything. Eat quickly and don't waste everyone's time. It really affects the whole hospital. Don't be late."
"Is what silly dad said true? Someone wants to acquire this place?"
Unlike Shazhu and others, these young people like Xiaodang have long been tired of living in the courtyard.
However, the capital city in the 1980s was not 20 years later. In an era when commercial housing had not yet been liberalized, buying a good house did not require money, but also required connections.
Real commercial housing that can be easily bought by those with money will have to wait until the Asian Games Village is built.
"Nonsense, how could I lie to you about this?" the second uncle said loudly.
Half an hour later, more than forty people from the courtyard gathered in the front yard. The rosewood table that had been used for decades was moved out and placed in the front yard.
The first uncle Yi Zhonghai, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui were sitting against the table.
Sitting on the bench opposite the three of them were Si Zhu and Qin Huairu, and next to them were Xu Damao and Qin Jingru. Some of the others were standing, some sitting, and some even leaning on the pillars under the eaves.
Compared with more than ten years ago, the prestige of the three uncles has dropped a lot.
If the second uncle hadn't said it was serious and it affected the whole hospital, many people wouldn't want to come.
Snap, snap, snap!
The second uncle convened the whole hospital meeting, so he naturally made the opening remarks. He clapped his hands and asked loudly: "Are you all here?"
No one replied, that is, among themselves, the voices were lowered, seeing how much the second uncle's prestige had dropped.
"If you don't come, don't wait. Let's get started." He scanned the yard with his eyes and found that the stick had not arrived.
The second uncle didn't care about this.
This kid has been getting farther and farther away from the courtyard since he got married. He is a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with the family. It would be best if he is not here to save trouble, as long as the heads of each family come.
"What's the reason for calling everyone to the meeting today?
It was because I went to the street to do errands and heard the news that a big boss from Xiangjiang was planning to buy all the courtyard houses in our area.
This matter has been agreed upon by the superiors. Someone will come to talk to us about relocation in a while. The purpose of today's meeting is to let the family know whether to move or not, and if so, how to move. "
"Second uncle, is your news true or false? Why would anyone want to buy our courtyard in such a shabby state?"
Xu Damao held a handful of melon seeds in his hand and listened to the second uncle's speech while chewing. When he heard that relocation was related to his own interests, he threw the melon seeds away and stopped eating. He stood up and asked loudly.
"This place is in tatters because you residents didn't take care of it and turned a good courtyard into a large courtyard. In the Qianqing Dynasty, this was where the princes and nobles lived, especially the west side." The second uncle pointed to the west with his right hand and said loudly ,
"That's the famous Guojun Prince's Mansion over there. The prince, the emperor's younger brother, lives there. The level of luxury inside is beyond what ordinary people like you can imagine.
Now, the big boss from Xiangjiang is interested in the Guojun Palace and wants to buy it. We are on the periphery of the palace, and it will not have a good impact on the palace if it is in tatters.
So the big boss hunted rabbits and wanted to buy our yard together with a wave of his hand. "
"The acquisition is not impossible, and the money must be small. I am already in my fifties. I cannot be old. I don't even have a place to live. What are the conditions for moving?" Xu Damao said loudly.
"I have discussed it with the first and third uncles. It is absolutely impossible not to move. This matter is led by the higher ups. We should obey the overall situation, but the necessary benefits are also indispensable.
I have called you here to discuss the following. Select a few representatives from among the people sitting here to negotiate with the big boss, the first uncle, the third uncle, and me to maximize our interests. If anyone is willing to be a representative, raise your hand to sign up! "
"Our Silly Zhu must be this representative. Everyone knows his character. If he comes forward, he will never treat everyone badly. And Bangchui, he drives for the leader and is well-informed. If he serves as a representative, he will definitely help everyone. Maximize the benefits."
It is definitely better to be a representative than not to be a representative. Qin Huairu, a scheming person, rolled his eyes and spoke first.
"Our family Damao also wants to be this representative. He is a movie projectionist. He has traveled all over the country. He has seen many big scenes and knows how to negotiate with big bosses." Qin Jingru might as well give in and said with a raised hand.
"What you said is wrong. The projectionist is responsible for showing movies. What's the use of having many big scenes? If you can't meet the leaders, it's not as good as me, a cook, who can get to know many big leaders."
Silly Zhu had no objection to others being the representatives, but Xu Damao could not. Silly Zhu, who was not dealing with him, did not want the two of them to eat in the same rice bowl, so he immediately stood up to object.
"Why can you represent everyone and I can't, Silly Zhu, tell me, how am I worse than you." After hearing what Silly Zhu said, Xu Damao got angry and started to fight with him.
Seeing the two people quarreling, the people around them quickly broke up the fight and finally separated the two people.
But they couldn't quarrel anymore. They didn't want to give in to each other on the matter of representation, which made the three uncles very embarrassed. They had to negotiate with Xi Ni and bring Qin Huairu in to rescue the siege, and the three of them acted as representatives together.
----------
"Mr. Lei, this courtyard has been vacated. Why don't you go in and have a look." Secretary Wang led Lei Weidong and Ao Ming to the door of a courtyard and pointed to the door.
"Does this courtyard belong to Prince Guojun's Mansion?" Lei Weidong asked.
"As for the outer courtyards, the main courtyard involves more people, so it will take some time for them all to be vacated."
"Don't be in a hurry, it will be a few days later." After looking at the somewhat old yards, Lei Weidong asked: "Can side doors be opened in these yards so that cars, at least sedans, can enter directly? There are also basements. of."
Because courtyards are grounded, moisture will inevitably return in winter. It is much better to have a basement. The ground air is directly blocked by the basement. If the moisture-proofing is done well, the basement can also be very dry and can be used as a wine cellar and gym.
"The side door can be opened, let alone entering the car. It is enough to dismantle some of the house and create a small parking lot. The basement is a bit difficult. It requires survey, approval, and construction by a professional construction team."
Secretary Wang said, "Siheyuan is an ancient building, so construction will be very troublesome and expensive."
"As long as it satisfies me, money is not an issue." Lei Weidong shrugged and walked into the courtyard with Secretary Wang.
Enter the front yard.
Lei Weidong's first impression was that it was dirty and messy.
Different from the spacious courtyard house as imagined, many corners are occupied by chicken pens, doghouses and kitchens. There are also many low-rise self-built houses. Needless to say, they were all built illegally by residents.
"This courtyard is a quadrangle with four entrances. It was originally used as a dormitory for a soda water factory. Dozens of families live in it. It is a large courtyard. Mr. Lei, you also know that when there are too many people, disorderly construction becomes more serious.
You can tear them all down or make corresponding improvements to the yard, as long as you don't violate the policy and build high-rise buildings. "Secretary Wang said awkwardly when he saw some displeasure on Lei Weidong's face.
"You can't build high-rise buildings, which means I can build buildings with several floors." Lei Weidong's eyes lit up when he heard that the building could be taller during reconstruction.
“Normal courtyards are all one-story, but those in the palaces all have attics. It is best to have a combination of one-and-a-half floors and two-and-a-half floors, so that it will not cause overcrowding and maintain a high practicality rate.
If the number of floors is built very high, reaching four or five floors is like many places in the south.
When the number of floors reaches such a high level, the patio in the middle really becomes a well, and people inside are like frogs in the well. The quality of living is very low, and conditions such as lighting and ventilation are very poor. This is stupid and does not conform to the pattern of the capital. . "
Secretary Wang explained the taboos of courtyard houses to Lei Weidong and Ao Ming, which made Lei Weidong and Ao Ming understand a lot of things.
"This is the water system of the courtyard. Unfortunately, it has been in disrepair for a long time and there is no water anymore. But it doesn't matter. As long as the water channel is dredged, water from Shichahai can be introduced."
Arriving at the third courtyard, Secretary Wang pointed to the cross-shaped stone bridge, pavilion and underwater landscape and said, "Of course, if you are not satisfied with the water system, you may wait for all the courtyards to be purchased and make unified improvements. "
"Would it be troublesome to introduce water from Shichahai?"
Shichahai is located in the northwest of the XC District of the capital and borders the DC District.
It is a depression-type lake formed by the lower reaches of the ancient Gaoliang River. It was called Bailiantan in the Jin Dynasty, Jishuitan and Haizi in the Yuan Dynasty, and Shichahai in the Ming Dynasty. It is divided into Qianhai, Houhai, and the West Sea, covering an area of about 340,000 square meters.
Because there is a diversion canal connecting Kunming Lake and Miyun Reservoir, the water level can be maintained stable all year round and it is living water. If the water from Shichahai can be diverted to the courtyard, there will be no need to worry about water pollution.
"It's not possible under normal circumstances, but if you, Mr. Lei, buy the entire area and open part of the yard to the public as a tourist attraction, it's still possible."
Secretary Wang had obviously done his homework and answered Lei Weidong's questions one by one.
"If we buy them all, it would be too big for me personally. It should be more open." Lei Weidong nodded and agreed to Secretary Wang's conditions.
"However, we need to carefully plan how to open it and which areas to open. I don't want my privacy to be leaked to the outside world."
"Mr. Lei, don't worry about this, we will never cross the line." Secretary Wang nodded and patted his chest as he assured.
"Does the yard next door also belong to Prince Guojun's Mansion?" Lei Weidong asked.
"Yes, but the residents inside have not moved out yet. The street is negotiating with them. Why don't you go and take a look."
"Let's go and have a look." Lei Weidong nodded, walked around in a circle with Secretary Wang, went out through the main entrance and then turned around.
"It's such a long detour."
Arriving at the main entrance of the courtyard next door, Lei Weidong pointed to the gate and said, "After we buy them all, can we seal up these doors? If we go inside, the entrance will become a garden."
"You can take care of your house." Secretary Wang smiled and led Lei Weidong and Ao Ming into the yard.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard a commotion inside. A large group of people gathered in the front yard, including street workers and residents of the courtyard. Everyone was chattering, making the place more lively than a vegetable market.
"Mr. Lei, these are the representatives of the residents of the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, He Yuzhu, Xu Damao and Qin Huairu. They want to meet you as the buyer."
Secretary Wang brought several resident representatives to Lei Weidong and said.
"Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, He Yuzhu, Xu Damao and Qin Huairu, aren't these a group of beasts from the courtyard? I actually bought the beast courtyard."
Listening to these somewhat familiar names, Lei Weidong was speechless.
