Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Chapter 347 Housing Problem 2

Li Huaide said: "Let's do some preparatory work first, and I will simply assign the tasks. I will be responsible for communicating with the superiors and the government, and try to get this matter approved.

Lao Wang, go and count the employees in the factory who need housing, then hold a meeting to convey this solution to the housing problem and see how everyone reacts.

Damao, you have a lot of connections, so go to the design institute more often and try to draw up the design drawings of the building as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll send out a notice first and review the qualifications for applying for housing at the same time." Wang Jinshan said.

"Then I'll draw a simple sketch and then go to the design institute to show them." Xu Damao also agreed.

The three of them then discussed some details, and Xu Damao and Wang Jinshan left after more than half an hour. As for Deputy Director Wu, who was in charge of technology, they had automatically ignored him. Technology and housing were not related, so they would just tell him when the meeting was held.

Over the next month, all the workers found that their three factory managers were very busy. They had to drive out from time to time, and the lights in the office were often on until late at night.

"Our factory director really cares about us workers. He has lost weight trying to solve our housing problems."

"Hey, have you signed up?"

"I would like to, but the per capita housing area of ​​my family does not meet the requirements. This time it is really a bargain for you. I also want to live in a tube building."

“Although the area is smaller, it is much better than the slum.”

However, the three people's hard work also had a good result. The leaders of the Ministry of Industry were also very concerned about the workers' housing problems. After a period of careful research and discussion, they agreed to this plan. The higher-ups decided to use the steel mill's housing reform as a pilot project, and if it was feasible, it would be gradually promoted.

The government also approved the proposal and allocated a piece of land near the steel mill for the construction of tube-shaped buildings. This is not a one-time thing. If the effect is good, more land will be allocated. Many people in the government also need housing. If the steel mill does well this time, they will follow suit.

Xu Damao not only completed the design drawings of the building, but also designed a number of facilities for convenient living in the surrounding area. Just like the residential areas in later generations, there are various small supermarkets, fruit shops, restaurants, etc. outside the door.

Wang Jinshan also did a good job of staffing and accumulating a certain amount of funds. He also contacted many manufacturers of various raw materials and signed many contracts.

Tomorrow is the official start day, and the three of them have temporarily completed their tasks. Li Huaide arranged a reception in a canteen tonight, which can be regarded as a reward for everyone.

The chef tonight is He Daqing. He was also brought into the steel mill by Xu Damao half a month ago. His main task is to teach apprentices and occasionally cook for the leaders.

Li Huaide didn't invite many people today. Apart from the three factory directors, there were also department-level leaders from several important departments. It can be said that all those who could sit at the table were important figures from Li Huaide's faction.

"You know what, Master He's cooking skills are much better than Master He's. The dishes he cooks are no worse than those in the Eighth Floor." said a director.

Almost everyone in the factory knew that Xu Damao had married He Yuzhu's sister. From then on, except for a few people who were particularly close to Shazhu, no one dared to call him Shazhu. Everyone usually called him Master He or Zhuzi. After He Daqing also came to work in the factory, they became Old Master He and Little Master He.

"I heard that Chef He's Tan family dishes are also excellent, but the ingredients are too hard to find, so we can't enjoy them."

"Yeah, I heard that Tan's dishes were only eaten by the rich and powerful in the past, so let's not even think about it."

Xu Damao thought to himself, if you want to eat, I have a way, but I am afraid that you will not be able to enjoy it. The wind will start in more than three months, and you will definitely suffer when the time comes. There are so many people at this table, and I don’t know how many of them will land safely when the time comes.

A group of people were eating and drinking, and when they drank too much they started bragging and chatting. The atmosphere was quite lively, and they kept drinking until around nine o'clock in the evening.

Before the show ended, Li Huaide reminded, "Don't sleep too much, remember to attend the opening ceremony on time at 9 a.m. tomorrow."

After everyone agreed, they went their separate ways. Li Huaide, with the little blue pill Xu Damao had just given him in his pocket, went to look for his old lover Liu Lan, who had been in charge of reception in the cafeteria.

Xu Damao only drank one glass to make himself a little drunk, and threw the rest into the space. If it were normal, he would just spend the night in the factory, but mainly because Yu Shui had just confirmed her pregnancy and her mood was not stable, and he had to rush back to accompany his wife.

When Xu Damao returned to the courtyard, he felt something was wrong as soon as he entered the house. Why were there two snoring sounds in the house? This situation was definitely not a thief, nor was it Yu Shui stealing someone. It should be that Ding Qiunan or Liang Ladi saw that he was not back and took the initiative to come to accompany Yu Shui.

Both of them are my sisters-in-law. In this case, it should be okay to see who it is? Anyway, it's just a face.

Xu Damao held the door frame, lifted the curtain and looked inside. As expected, Ding Qiunan and Yu Shui were lying side by side, snoring softly.

After confirmation, Xu Damao took the initiative to return to the north house. He first went back to the space to take a shower before coming out and lying down to sleep.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Xu Damao cooked a big pot of preserved egg and skinny rice porridge and called out to wake up Yu Shui and the others.

Ten minutes later, the two girls put on their clothes and walked out of the house.

"Brother, when did you come back?"

"I came back last night. Seeing that you guys were sleeping well, I slept in the north room all night. I've already cooked some porridge. Sister-in-law, go and ask Brother Nan to come and eat with us."

"Okay, I'll go wash up and then call him over." Ding Qiunan's face turned a little red. This was the first time she lived under the same roof with another man, although they were not living in the same room.

While washing, Yu Shui said, "It was past nine o'clock last night and I thought you wouldn't come back. Sister Qiu Nan was afraid that it would be inconvenient for me to be alone, so she took the initiative to come and accompany me."

"Well, there was a reception last night, and I rushed back after it was over."

After a while, Nan Yi and his wife also came over. After the four of them finished drinking the porridge, they pushed the cart together and walked out of the courtyard. When they passed the middle courtyard, they heard Jia Zhang's screams.

"I don't know what strange disease this Jia Zhang has contracted. She howls at home all day long. I heard that she has been to several hospitals but they couldn't find out what's wrong with her." Yu Shui said.

"A classmate of mine told me about Jia Zhang's condition, saying it was a difficult and complicated case and their hospital wanted to study it," Ding Qiunan also said.

Xu Damao had scanned Jia Zhang on the first day she was troubled. He was absolutely sure that she was poisoned, and it was 99% likely that Yi Zhonghai had done it.

As early as when Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were arranged to separate by the street office, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law unexpectedly did not separate. Xu Damao felt that there must be something wrong. Xu Damao thought of the ownership of the house at that time. After scanning, he determined that it was Jia Zhang who exchanged money and the house with Yi Zhonghai's confession.

Xu Damao didn't know that Jia Zhang had given Yi Zhonghai the drug that made him unable to have children, but this did not prevent him from guessing that Yi Zhonghai wanted to kill him to silence him. It must be said that Yi Zhonghai was indeed a ruthless person, and he would really kill for his own personal interests.

"Why bother with her? She is morally corrupt and deserves to die." Nan Yi particularly disliked Jia Zhang.
