Chapter 200 The Power of Smashing Houses Ning Weidong said with a smile: "What happened? Look how anxious you are." Ning Wei quickly glanced into the room, controlled his breathing and lowered his voice to speak quickly: "Third brother, there is a sudden buyer over there for the house, and the other party wants to temporarily increase the price." Ning Weidong frowned. This matter was a bit messed up. He asked, "How much more?" Ning Wei said: "Add one thousand." Ning Weidong pursed his lips. He didn't care about the thousand yuan, but the temporary price increase was disgusting. But no matter how disgusted he was, there was no other more suitable house at the moment, and it would definitely not be possible for Shi Xiaonan to live in the dormitory in the tube-shaped building for a long time. Zhao Ruyu has been busy recruiting people recently. When he recruited them, he found that they were actually a trouble when he got there. So I just accepted it. Just at this time, Zhao Ruyu came out of the house with beer. Seeing Ning Wei, he smiled and said, "Xiaowei, have you eaten? Stay and have a bite." Ning Wei hurriedly called out "Sister-in-law".
Zhao Ruyi put down the iced beer, looked at Ning Weidong and asked, "What happened?" Ning Weidong did not panic, and said calmly: "Sixth Aunt is not feeling well, Xiaowei wants to move to a building with heating, we had already negotiated, but the other party raised the price temporarily." Zhao Ruyi's thoughts wandered, and she asked, "Xiaowei, how much do you need? Sister-in-law will get it for you." Ning Wei knew that Zhao Ruyu was a straightforward person, but he didn't expect her to be so open with him. She didn't even ask any questions and just paid for him directly. This is certainly because Zhao Ruyu is rich now and doesn't need those small things, but from Ning Wei's perspective, he can't think like that. However, no matter how good Zhao Ruyu is, he is not as good as his third brother, so he can only feel sorry for his sister-in-law. Ning Wei didn't respond. Ning Weidong said, "Since your sister-in-law said she would give it to you, you should take it. We are all family, so why should we be polite? It is me, as your elder brother, who is not considerate enough. As for the temporary increase in money... There are not many houses that can be bought and sold now. As long as the other party does not go too far, you can add a little bit~" Ning Wei understood what Ning Weidong meant, nodded and said, "I understand." Ning Weidong said to Zhao Ruyi again: "Ruyi, go to the house and get 5,000 yuan for Xiaowei." Zhao Ruyu responded and went to get the money without saying a word. In fact, Ning Weilai didn't come here to ask for money, but the other side asked for extra money temporarily, so he had to tell Ning Weidong. The price we agreed on before suddenly increased by a thousand, and I can’t explain it clearly. As for money, Ning Wei had a large sum of money in his hands. The daily expenses of the company, the maintenance and repair of Zhao Ruyu's car, various reception expenses, and the hospitalization and resettlement expenses of Natasha were all handled by Ning Wei. The current Dongyi Company is just a makeshift team. Zhao Ruyu is not from a professional background and has limited financial knowledge. She only has a rough idea of how much the company earns and spends, and she is confused about the details. After a while, Zhao Ruyu came out with a dark cloth bag, rolled it into a square, handed it to Ning Wei and said, "Xiaowei, take it. If you have any difficulties at home in the future, just tell your sister-in-law directly." Ning Wei responded. At this time, Qin Huairu came in from outside, carrying a large plate of fried fish and placed it on the stone table. Ning Wei had no intention of staying for dinner, so he immediately left tactfully.
Ning Wei was walking outside and happened to run into Huaihua who was coming in from the front yard carrying a rice pot. When the two met each other, they were both stunned for a moment. "Ning Wei?" Huaihua looked surprised and spoke in a loud voice, which immediately attracted the attention of other people in the yard. Ning Wei frowned and looked carefully at the very beautiful girl in front of him. After a few seconds, he recognized her: "You are from Class 2, Grade 2..." But he couldn't remember her name for a moment. Huaihua pouted and said for him, "My name is Huaihua. I guess you forgot it." Ning Weidong looked at them from inside, then glanced at Qin Huairu and asked, "Aunt Qin, do they know each other?" Qin Huairu was also confused. Ning Wei smiled awkwardly and thought about it. I just didn’t expect that the skinny little girl a few years ago has grown into a grown-up lady now. But he still had things to do, and was waiting at the house. He nodded and said, "Huaihua, what a coincidence. Well, I have something else to do. Let's talk about it later." After saying this, he walked out of the Chuihua Gate. Huaihua didn't say anything else and continued to carry the rice pot in. Zhao Ruyi asked curiously, "Your name is Huaihua? Do you know Xiaowei?" Huaihua was a little reserved in front of Zhao Ruyu. She clasped her hands in front of her and nodded, saying, "Hello, Manager Zhao. Ning Wei and I were classmates in junior high school. He is one year older than me." Zhao Ruyu nodded and wanted to ask something else, but after looking at Ning Weidong, he swallowed his words back. After Qin Huairou took her daughter away, she said to Ning Weidong: "Weidong, what do you think of Aunt Qin's daughter? She is pretty and has a good figure. She also knows Xiaowei..." Ning Weidong understood what she meant. After suffering the loss from the female doctor from the Red Star Factory last time, Ning Wei was a bit shy and once bitten, so he kept his distance from female comrades in normal times. Ning Weidong smiled and said, "You still want to be a matchmaker for others?" Zhao Ruyi took a bite of the fried fish, and it made a crisp sound. It was dry, fragrant and crispy. While chewing, he said, "So what? He's our own child. Besides, he can start a family and settle down. He won't have to worry about his job." Ning Weidong didn't have any idea about this. It should be said that the locust flowers were indeed very beautiful. His family conditions were not very good, but in this era, they were not bad either. There is no burden at home. Ning Weidong said: "Xiaowei is only twenty, why worry about that? If he still hasn't gotten married by the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, we can help him arrange it." Zhao Ruyu thought so too. But in the front yard and the kitchen, Qin Huairu was not so calm. Pulling Huaihua back to the front yard, he immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Huaihua, tell me, what's going on?" Huaihua was a little puzzled: "What's going on?" Qin Huairu asked: "You and Ning Wei, how did you know each other?" Huaihua said: "Didn't I tell you? We were in the same middle school."
Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and said, "Do you really think your mother never went to school? He is a year higher than you, and we are not in the same class, so we don't interact with each other at all." Huaihua knew she couldn't just give him a perfunctory answer, so she had to say, "It's nothing, actually. I was in the second year of junior high school and was bullied at school. Ning Wei came out to help me." Qin Huairu suddenly realized that after all the fuss, there was still a hero saving the beauty. She also noticed that when talking about this matter, Huaihua blushed a little, but she pretended to be nothing on the surface. Qin Huairu asked, "Why didn't I hear you tell me about it when you got home?" Huaihua looked helpless: "What can I do when I go home? My brother has gone to work in the countryside. There are only us mother and daughter at home. You and my silly dad are not sure..." Qin Huairu felt a surge of sadness in her heart and reached out to touch her daughter's head. A child who has been without a father since childhood has so much pain in his heart. Huaihua held Qin Huairu's rough hand, smiled and said, "Mom, the hard times are over. Our family is getting better and better now." Qin Huairu said, "It's getting better and better!" Then he continued to ask, "Then why didn't you mention him later?" Huaihua said: "Not long after that, Ning Wei graduated, and we lost contact afterwards." Although Huaihua lives not very far from Ning Wei's home, it is really hard to run into her unless you go to school. This was the first time the two met after several years. Ning Wei was still the same, except that he seemed a little taller. His overall appearance remained the same, so Huaihua recognized him at the first sight. It was Huaihua, on the other hand, who had changed a lot as she grew up. She looked very different from how she was a few years ago. Ning Wei looked at her for a long time before he could barely identify her. After Qin Huairu heard about their past, her mind started to work. Huaihua asked, "Mom, does Ning Wei work here?" Qin Huairu came back to her senses, glanced outside the kitchen, and lowered her voice and said, "Not only that~ The Section Chief Ning you saw just now is Manager Zhao's lover, and Ning Wei is his cousin. He is in charge of everything here now, and he has the final say on everything." Huaihua widened his eyes. When he saw Ning Wei just now, he thought Ning Wei was working here. When Ning Wei was in school, his family conditions were not very good, especially after his eldest brother died, the food and clothes he had were not as good as Huaihua's. Unexpectedly, after just a few years of not seeing each other, Ning Wei has become a leader. Huaihua didn't know about the other girls, but her mother and sister had discussed a lot at home recently about how to get her second sister to work here. In the end, it came to nothing. Thinking of this, Huaihua subconsciously said, "Mom, how about I go find Ning Wei and ask about my second sister?" Qin Huairu suddenly came to her senses and immediately said, "Don't mess around!" Sophora japonica pouted. Qin Huairu explained: "Silly girl, Ning Wei has no say in your second sister's affairs. Manager Zhao must agree to hire someone in the company."
Huaihua said "Oh". Qin Huairu pursed her lips and continued, "As for you, you can contact Ning Wei more often in the future." Huaihua knew what she was saying, her face turned red instantly, and she said shyly, "Mom, what are you talking about~" Qin Huairu sighed and said, "You are not young anymore, it's time for you to start a family..." Huaihua stamped her feet and said, "Mom, please stop talking!" Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Okay, Mom won't say it, Mom won't say it." She could see that her little daughter was not averse to Ning Wei, otherwise she wouldn't be like this. As for Ning Wei, she was not worried at all. As the old saying goes, it's like a mountain between a man and a woman, but it's like a thin layer of gauze between a woman and a man. Based on her daughter's appearance, she didn't believe that Ning Wei, a hot-blooded young man, would not be tempted. As long as Ning Wei is taken down, they will become relatives with Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu in the future, and Xiaodang's job will be easy then. Thinking of this, Qin Huairu immediately speeded up the work at hand, cleaned up the kitchen, and took Huaihua away. Huaihua didn't understand what was going on, so she quickly followed up, "Mom, why are you so anxious?" Qin Huairu said, "Hurry back. Your grandma is arranging a marriage for your second sister, so you can't agree to it." Just now, a thought flashed through her mind. Qin Huairu felt that if Huaihua could really marry Ning Wei and then find Xiaodang's job, this man would not be worthy of Xiaodang now. The other end, inside. Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu were eating fried fish and drinking cold beer. When Ning Wei came over and mentioned the house just now, Zhao Ruyi felt a little itchy and asked, "Weidong, how about we buy a house too?" Ning Weidong held a fish in his arms, bit off the fried fish tail, and said vaguely, "If you want to buy it, just buy it. What's your goal? Do you want to buy a building or a bungalow?" Ning Weidong knew that Zhao Ruyu had always wanted to buy a house and did not want to get married in the slum where Ning Weidong lived now. We didn't have the conditions before, but now we have the cash cow of Dongyi Company, and we can almost make a fortune every day. When Zhao Ruyu heard that Ning Wei was going to change houses, she wanted to buy one even more, but she was worried that Ning Weidong would not agree. The house Ning Weidong lives in now was left by his parents, which seemed to have some unusual meaning. Unexpectedly, Ning Weidong agreed immediately. Instead, Zhao Ruyu didn't know what to say. Before, she only had the idea of buying a house, but she had never thought about what kind of house to buy or where to buy it. But then again, at this point in time, there really isn't much choice. The only properties that can be bought, sold and transferred, apart from early commercial housing such as the Overseas Chinese Apartments, are the courtyard houses that had their property rights confirmed at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although Siheyuan is very famous, it is actually not that comfortable to live in. Just the two issues of heating and using the toilet are far beyond the reach of buildings.
In the end, Zhao Ruyu could only wait and see. …… Two days later, around two in the afternoon. Ning Weidong came out of the factory and went to the tube-shaped building where Shi Xiaonan lived. It was the hottest time of the day. Shi Xiaonan turned on the fan and listened to the radio with little interest. When I heard Ning Weidong knocking on the door, I was stunned and thought I had heard it wrong. It was not until Ning Weidong called out for the second time that he reacted and immediately opened the door: "Weidong, why are you here?" Ning Weidong smiled, came in, closed the door, and hugged Shi Xiaonan: "I missed you, so I came~" Shi Xiaonan blushed, stretched out her slender jade finger and poked Ning Weidong's forehead: "You can get a nice sweet person." Ning Weidong patted her butt, put her down and said, "Change your clothes and I'll take you out." Shi Xiaonan showed a surprised expression: "Go out? Where to?" Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Don't ask. You'll know when you get there." Shi Xiaonan was very well-behaved. She suppressed her curiosity and quickly went to change her clothes. This era was not like the later generations, where women would spend a long time putting on makeup before going out. Shi Xiaonan was a naturally beautiful woman, so she only applied some cold cream and lipstick and was done quickly. The two went downstairs, Ning Weidong took the bicycle and took a look at the white dress Shi Xiaonan was wearing. It rained yesterday, the bike was soaked and there was rust on the rear rack. Ning Weidong simply pushed his bicycle and said, "It's not far, let's just walk over there." Shi Xiaonan nodded and did not have any overly intimate behavior with Ning Weidong outside. She is very self-aware in this regard and is aware of the importance of being a mistress. Shi Xiaonan had the idea of writing a new play. He had a certain cultural background and had read A Dream of Red Mansions a long time ago and knew about the tragic end of You Erjie in the play. You Erjie was gentle and beautiful, but had a tragic fate. She was first occupied by her brother-in-law, and later became Jia Lian's concubine. Originally, Jia Lian treated her well and gave her a lot of love and gold and silver, enough for her to live a rich life for the rest of her life. But You Erjie was greedy for more, and even after getting all these, she still wanted fame... With this previous experience as a lesson, Shi Xiaonan was extra cautious. She knew that Ning Weidong's girlfriend was not an ordinary person and was not someone that an orphan like her could afford to offend. She also didn't want to bring unnecessary trouble to Ning Weidong. No one likes a woman who causes trouble. All along, based on her judgment of Ning Weidong, as long as she was well-behaved and sensible, Ning Weidong would not treat her unfairly. At this time, the two of them were walking on the road. Even if they were seen by outsiders, they would not think of anything wrong. They would just think that they were acquaintances who happened to be passing by.
It’s about two bus stops from the tube building. Shi Xiaonan had no idea what Ning Weidong was up to, so she followed him closely, feeling increasingly uneasy. By constantly observing Ning Weidong's expression, it can be seen that Ning Weidong should be in a good mood, which makes Shi Xiaonan guess that today's incident should be a good thing. Comforting himself in his heart, Shi Xiaonan followed Ning Weidong to the small courtyard with a private entrance on the north side of Di'anmen Street. Ning Wei took over this yard the day before yesterday. With his acquaintance Yang Zhengdong, the procedures went smoothly. At the same time, find someone to come and clean the house thoroughly. Ning Weidong brought Shi Xiaonan over to take a look today. Ning Weidong stopped in front of the courtyard gate. Shi Xiaonan paused, looked at Ning Weidong, and asked, "What is this place?" "Go in and take a look~" Ning Weidong pushed his bicycle and used the front wheel to knock open the gate. With a "zhiya" sound, the black wooden door opened inward. Because it was a later-changed entrance, this door is located on the west side of the courtyard, and it is obvious at first glance that it is not the traditional courtyard door style. Ning Wei was waiting inside. When he heard the door open, he immediately came out and called out "Third Brother". When he saw Shi Xiaonan behind him, he called out "Sister Shi" again. Shi Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on, and nodded slightly awkwardly. Ning Weidong parked his bicycle under the wall next to him and looked around the yard. Because it was the original back room, the yard was not very spacious, about four meters wide and in a long strip. The north house in the front yard is very tall, blocking most of the sunlight in the yard, but fortunately it does not block the lighting of the house. Most of the yard ground was hardened with red bricks, with only two trees left at the east and west ends, a pomegranate tree and a persimmon tree. The house looks nice. Although it is not as tall as the north house in the front yard, it is still five meters high from the ground to the roof. The five rooms together cover nearly one hundred square meters. The first room you enter is a storage room. It has no windows and is filled with a lot of things. It looks rather shabby. The four rooms inside are all habitable. Ning Weidong called Shi Xiaonan to go inside. The house had just been cleaned and the doors and windows were open. Walked into the house and took a look around. It must be said that Ning Wei was quite considerate and had all the furniture and electrical appliances needed for the house. There are electric fans, radios, and TVs, and the roof has been replaced with long fluorescent lights. "Sister Shi, how about this yard?" Ning Weidong walked around and looked at Shi Xiaonan with a smile. Shi Xiaonan's heart was pounding at this moment, she was not stupid. Ning Weidong brought her here and asked her what she thought of the yard. His meaning was too obvious.
But Shi Xiaonan still couldn't believe it. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva and whispered: "This... is this for me?" Ning Weidong said calmly: "I will arrange accommodation for you." Then he winked at Ning Wei. Ning Wei immediately understood and took out a brand new real estate certificate from his briefcase, on which was Shi Xiaonan's name. After taking the property certificate and taking a look at it, Shi Xiaonan was overjoyed. She didn't expect Ning Weidong to do what he said so quickly. What she didn't expect was that Ning Weidong actually gave her such a big yard! These are five main rooms with their own entrances and exits! Originally, she, Wang Kai, and her mother-in-law lived in a large courtyard. There were only two rooms in the west wing, and the yard was public. Now, these five northern rooms are almost three times the size of the ones over there. More importantly, Wang Kai’s two rooms have nothing to do with her, but now this yard really belongs to her. "Weidong, I..." Shi Xiaonan covered his chest with his hands, not knowing what to say. Immediately afterwards, tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn't control them at all. She didn't care that Ning Wei was still there and threw herself on Ning Weidong. Ning Wei was standing nearby, looking away. He was really unnecessary in this kind of situation. If there were not some things that had not been explained clearly, he would have left immediately. Ning Weidong patted Shi Xiaonan on the back and said a few words of comfort. Before he traveled through time, he had heard about the power of smashing down a house, and today he got to experience it for himself. After a while, Shi Xiaonan vented his emotions and barely returned to normal. He looked around the yard again, and his mood was different from a few minutes ago. This is her home. From now on, she will no longer be kicked out of the dormitory, carrying her luggage, feeling confused and not knowing where to go. I just like it more and more. Shi Xiaonan liked it, but Ning Weidong saw a lot of problems: "Xiaowei~" Ning Wei quickly responded. Ning Weidong said: "Find someone to replace all the windows. Make sure they are double-layered." The windows of these rooms are still framed. He added: "Take down the stove in the kitchen, replace the gas tank, and then find a master to build a kang with a fire wall..." Ning Wei took out a small notebook and quickly wrote down Ning Weidong's requests. At the end, he said, "Third brother, I've written them all down." Ning Weidong nodded and thought to himself: "It will take about a week to finish all this. How about we move next week?" The second half of the sentence was asked to Shi Xiaonan. Shi Xiaonan said delicately: "I'll listen to you." In fact, she didn't think what Ning Weidong said was a problem, and she couldn't wait to move in.
But since Ning Weidong had said so, she could only count the days and wait for another week. After finalizing these matters, Ning Weidong asked Ning Wei again: "By the way, how is the apartment going?" Ning Wei said: "It's more complicated over there..." Ning Weidong frowned: "Is there something strange happening on the other side?" Ning Wei nodded: "The person across the street may have some connections in the housing management office. Knowing that I bought a house here, he even added money..." Ning Weidong immediately understood what was going on, and realized that he also wanted to take advantage of the situation and felt that he had been taken advantage of. Little do they know that these two sides are totally different. The reason why Ning Weidong agreed to pay extra money for this courtyard was mainly because he wanted Shi Xiaonan to move in as soon as possible, as he was afraid of problems if she continued to live in the dormitory in the tube building. The building was bought for Ning Wei, but it's not urgent. Ning Weidong sneered, "You are really greedy. In this case... Xiaowei, don't be anxious. Let Yang Zhengdong find a way to find something else. It would be best if you can buy it directly. Don't be afraid to spend money. Do you understand~" Ning Wei nodded: "Third brother, I understand." After talking about the house, Ning Wei opened his mouth but hesitated to speak. Ning Weidong said, "What else is there to say? Stop hesitating. If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just fart. Don't talk to me like a woman." (End of this chapter)
