After everyone had finished explaining their requests, Yang Chen took the initiative to bring Wang Mantang to inspect the Siheyuan and its surroundings.
In the end, everyone returned to Yang Chen's house.
While drinking tea, Wang Mantang said,""The house as a whole doesn't need to be moved. It's just that each household needs a single room to serve as a bedroom. As for the toilet and bathroom, the upside-down room could be completely modified. It just so happened that the city's sewers were not far away, so it would be fine to bury a few water pipes.”
"Alright, since Master Wang has said so, then you can give me a total amount of the material and labor costs after the matter.”
"Chen 'zi, we'll prepare for today and tomorrow. We'll start work early the day after tomorrow. The construction period is expected to take three to five days.”
"Alright, it's settled then."
After saying this, Yang Chen saw that there was no one outside the door. He whispered again,"Master Wang, you might not know this, but the people in our courtyard are all retired soldiers and their families. Some of them are missing arms, some of them have bad legs, and some of them can't do physical labor for a long time. So, you might use the best materials.”
"Chen 'zi, hearing your words, are you going to take care of everything?”
"Not really, but they are all heroes who survived on the battlefield with great difficulty. I just hope that they can live better and more comfortably.”
Yang Chen's words also made Wang Mantang and Xiao Banxian look at him in a new light.
What Yang Chen meant was that on the surface, he would offer a price that everyone could accept, but in private, Yang Chen would pay for it. Twenty minutes later, Wang Mantang and Xiao Banxian left with Duck.
"Little duck, what did I teach you? Why don't you just eat it? Why do you want to take it out?"
"Master Wang, you've misunderstood. I took the initiative to give it to the ducks. I can take it back and let sister-in-law and the others have a taste.”
"Yes, yes, that's right. Dad, can you talk to me again after you've cleared things up next time? Brother Yang, thank you for your kindness. Can I come to your house as a guest when I have nothing to do in the future?”
"Of course, as long as you're willing to come, I'll welcome you with open arms.”
Soon, Yang Chen personally sent Wang Mantang and his group off.
Other than using good materials, Yang Chen would also build a kitchen for each household.
In addition, according to his memory, there was an earthquake in the city many years later.
Therefore, to prevent this from happening, Yang Chen had Wang Mantang reinforce the house from the beginning to the end.
Yang Chen had to pay for all the expenses.
After sending Wang Mantang and his group off, Yang Chen returned to the subdistrict office to continue his work.
Before he got off work in the afternoon, a farmer took the initiative to look for Yang Chen.
"Sir, are you looking for me?"
"You are Yang Chen?"
"It's me. Grandpa, what's the matter?"
"Young man, this is what happened. Chief Wang is staying in our Xu Family Village today. She asked me to send you a message saying that she wants you to take a leave of absence tomorrow and go to Xu Family Village.”
After finishing Aunt Wang's instructions, Sir System muttered to himself,"Youngster, you really have good taste. I dare to say that Huizhen is definitely the top of our Ten Li Eight Village.”
"Thank you, sir. When we're done, I'll definitely treat you to a wedding banquet.”
"Alright, get ready. I'll be leaving first.”
When they found out that Yang Chen was going to meet Xu Huizhen in Xujia Village tomorrow, which was a blind date, Liu Guilan and the other street office officers did not forget to take the opportunity to tease him.
However, everyone was disappointed that Yang Chen's skin was comparable to the city walls of the Four Nine City.
After work, Yang Chen took the bus to the city center (inner city).
"System, I want to sign in."
"Congratulations, Master, for successfully signing in. The system rewards are as follows…Reward 1: Reward 2: One permanent bicycle; Reward 3, 3 boxes of apples."
Originally, Yang Chen had wanted to buy a bicycle as a means of transportation when he went to the inner city today. He did not expect that he would get what he needed.
Currently, the era of bills had not been officially implemented for the time being. Therefore, rice, flour, grain, oil, and other living materials were still considered complete.
At this time, it was more practical to exchange the spare money in his pocket for various living supplies.
Later, Yang Chen would even hint to Wang Dashan and the others to do the same.
After arriving at the inner city, Yang Chen went straight to the department store to buy a lot of things, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, washbasins, bedsheets, pillowcases, and other things to wear. Then, he went to kitchen utensils such as kitchen knives and pots…In less than twenty minutes, Yang Chen spent several hundred yuan. In the end, he hired a manual handcart to transport them away.
Yang Chen only returned home when the sun was setting.
"Chen 'zi, are you not planning to live anymore?”
"Sister-in-law, don't you think we can't spend money on marriage? So I'm going all out."
"Chen 'zi, from what you said, did you guys succeed? Hey, hey, where is that girl from? When are you going to bring it over for me to take a look?”
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law. I'll bring her home later.”
Another reason why Yang Chen was in a hurry to get married was that after the marriage law was enacted next year, both men and women would be subject to age restrictions when they got married.
Soon, Li Xiuying and the others helped Yang Chen move the purchased materials to a nearby temporary warehouse.
Early in the morning the day after tomorrow, the courtyard would be undergoing repairs and renovations. Every household would need to move their things out temporarily according to the progress of the project.
The next day, after having breakfast at Zhao Xiangyang's house, Yang Chen rode the permanent bicycle rewarded by the system and left the city.
Zhao Xiangyang was currently working as a driver in the transportation team of the First Rolling Mill.
When he found out that Yang Chen was going to Xu Village to meet the woman, he said,""Chen 'zi, there's nothing to say. On your wedding day, I'll prepare at least three cars for you as wedding cars.”
At around ten in the morning, Yang Chen approached the Xu Family Village.
The route was also repeatedly instructed by the old man yesterday.
In order not to go the wrong way, Yang Chen asked the villagers along the way to confirm it again and again.
Xu Village was also known as Stone Village because the houses in the village were basically made of stone and earth.
When he approached the Xu Family Village and confirmed that there was no one around, Yang Chen took out the gift from his storage ring.
The gifts were all unique to this era, such as the eight pieces of clothing, cloth, and fruits.
Following Yang Chen to the village entrance, Aunt Wang's voice came before she even arrived."Chen 'zi, the road up there is not easy to walk on. Lock the car and bring the gift up.”
"Alright, Aunt Wang."
Although he said that, Yang Chen's attention was focused on the woman beside Aunt Wang.
That's right, the woman was Xu Huizhen.
