Look how bright this old man’s eyes are and how brilliant his words are.
Although the two sons of the Zhai family and their two daughters-in-law didn't understand it.
Why does my old man insist on living in a bungalow here even though he has a unit?
It is inevitable to complain behind my back that my hometown is a stubborn old man who refuses to make progress and is driving backwards.
But Ning Weimin couldn't help but admire this Uncle Zhai from the bottom of his heart.
This old man is considered to be very thorough, and he really knows what kind of life he wants to live.
However, it is precisely because of this that all tricks are useless against the old man, and Ning Weimin cannot help but feel more troubled.
Although he is both sentimental and reasonable, he should satisfy this simple request.
But the key question that arises from this is, where can he find a bungalow with a spacious yard?
Although there are many bungalows in Beijing, it is much more difficult to build a standard courtyard like this than to build a building.
Who said that there is a market for buildings but not for bungalows?
If you want to buy it, you not only have to ask Director Lu to help you keep an eye on it, but you also have to wait patiently for the opportunity.
It depends on when we meet, the time is too random.
What's more, even if you find a house with such conditions, there is a high probability that someone else will live in it.
Could it be that in order to free up this apartment, he had to buy another yard and then bother to relocate the residents of the other apartment?
Going in such a big circle for replacement, how can you think about it like taking off your pants and farting?
Not even renting.
The housing management office currently has no housing, so the rent can only be obtained from private parties, and the private rentals for this kind of yard are not cheap.
Ning Weimin takes the initiative to increase the rent of "Zhang Dashao" by 5% every year at the Huiminyan Hotel. It is now almost 500 a month.
The Zhai family doesn't do business, so they can't afford even one hundred yuan.
Although Ning Wei Min Da can help the Zhai family pay for a year and a half of rent, what about the future?
Don’t forget, this is not the time when outsiders come to Beijing in large numbers.
When the business boom comes, rents will skyrocket.
Doing this will lead to endless troubles.
So this matter is almost unsolvable.
Realistic difficulties hindered Ning Weimin, leaving him just short of the last step and unable to completely take possession of Courtyard No. 5.
After worrying for several days, Ning Weimin could not figure out how to break this hard stone.
But things in the world are still so weird, and some things are like a layer of window paper.
Precisely by accident, Ning Weimin got the inspiration to pierce this piece of paper.
On the afternoon of April 27, Ning Weimin was sitting in his office reading the newspaper.
When he flipped through the fourth page, he found under the news "The Beijing Individual Workers Association was established."
The newspaper also published a half-page graphic advertisement for the sale of imitation Tang Sancai horses and Tang Sancai camels by Jingcheng Gongmei Building.
For this reason, he couldn't help but laugh.
At the beginning of this year, the imitation process of Tang Sancai had just been successful.
Since there was no concept of intellectual property protection these days, the imitation process spread rapidly in the country, and imitation of Tang Sancai quickly became a trend in the national ceramics industry.
This year, almost every company is imitating, and most of the imitated products are horses and camels.
Market sales are also very good.
Regardless of government cadres or intellectuals, as long as they are a bit arty, they will almost buy one or two pieces to display in the office.
Just like the director of the Temple of Heaven, knowing that Ning Weimin liked porcelain, he specially sent him a pair of camels.
Out of sympathy, Ning Weimin had no choice but to hold his nose and put it on the desk.
But to be honest, these popular imitations must be pure jokes in Ning Weimin's eyes.
Especially when he saw the advertisement stating the prices of these two products in state-owned arts and crafts stores, he felt even more ridiculous.
Fifty-two dollars?
This is enough to buy a big bowl of "Tongguang" at the counter of the cultural relics store.
If you buy this crap, you won’t lose money to Dafa!
This is really a big pit!
However, after laughing, Ning Weimin felt something in his heart and got excited again.
He suddenly thought that he had not bothered to go to the Zhai Palace to see the used goods collected by Sun Wufu for a long time.
Nowadays, there are so many imitations of Tang Sancai in the market. Sun Wufu must not buy them back as good ones.
Wouldn’t it be in vain?
No! I have to say hello to Wufu quickly.
So he didn't dare to sit around anymore. Ning Weimin quickly took the newspaper and Ma Liu'er went out and ran to the north gate of the Temple of Heaven and walked all the way to Zhai Palace.
Unexpectedly, it was quite difficult to see Sun Wufu today. This guy didn't stay in his room honestly.
Ning Weimin walked around until he was right behind the Zhai Palace, and then he saw Sun Wufu, wearing dirty work clothes, watering a tree alone with a water pipe.
There was a wheelbarrow with gardening tools next to it, and it looked like the soil in the flower bed was being turned over.
Ning Weimin immediately became unhappy. He thought it was the gardeners of the Temple of Heaven who bullied Lao LaoTou and left the work they should have done to Sun Wufu.
But when Sun Wufu came over and said it, it turned out that was not the case at all.
"Hey, Mr. Ning, are you asking me this? I have nothing to do. I will help loosen the soil and water the trees."
"I am originally a farmer, and this is a good way to stretch my muscles. I took so much money from you to live here for free. I should have done more work, otherwise I would feel bad."
"Hey, don't blame them wrongly. The people in those parks are very nice to me. No one forces me, I do it myself. You see, I live in such a courtyard by myself, and there is nothing wrong with me when the park is closed every day. Apart from listening to
Radio, you can’t sleep after eating, this is the best pastime for me..."
It was Sun Wufu's words that made Ning Weimin enlightened and his heart instantly became cheerful.
He thought of what happened to the Zhai family and couldn't help but slap his forehead and thought to himself, yes! Isn't this the best way to solve the problem?
He was not in the mood to read the things in the library. He thrust the newspaper into Sun Wufu's hands, gave a few brief instructions, and turned around to leave.
That night, he drove to the Zhai family, carrying two bottles of wine and two boxes of Tan Palace cakes as gifts, and formally made a suggestion to the Zhai family.
"Uncle Zhai, to tell you the truth, it is really difficult to find a bungalow that meets your requirements. I wonder if we can discuss and make some changes?"
"Look, I know that you want to live in a bungalow, but you are reluctant to leave the yard and are happy to grow flowers and grass. But the rest of your family is happy to live in a unit, and this is also true."
"What I mean is, anyway, you are retired and in good health. Don't you love these rooms? Then why don't you stay and help me look after the yard. Then I will find someone to tidy up the house.
Now, the whole yard is yours to take care of. You can plant whatever you like and raise as many flowers as you like. I won’t interfere at all. As long as you help clean up the yard every day and don’t let it catch on fire.”
"As for your family, it's better to move to a building, so they are happy with it. As for you, if you want to live here, you can live here, if you want to live in a building, how about living in a building? I won't let you work in vain, you used to go to work
I will give you whatever salary you get. What do you think? Is this the best of both worlds?"
The Zhai family were immediately excited upon hearing this. No one expected Ning Weimin to be so generous.
Where can I find this condition?
Not only were they given two apartments for free, but they were also given a salary for the old man.
Doesn't this mean that they have to support their father for them?
The eldest son blurted out immediately.
"This is a great arrangement, Mr. Ning. Thank you so much. You are so considerate for us."
The second son urged his father.
"Dad, what are you still hesitating about? Just agree. Where can I find this good thing? That is Mr. Ning, the big manager of a foreign company, who is so wealthy."
The two daughters-in-law were even more moved and exchanged secret signals with each other.
But it was this eagerness that made Mr. Zhai a little sad, and even hurt his self-esteem.
He couldn't help but sneered and said to Ning Weimin.
"Why am I so easy to control? Are you trying to leash me? Sorry, I'm getting older and I'm basically useless now. I can only rely on others to take care of me."
Then he gave his two sons a stern face.
"Why are you talking so much today? You look so happy! Have you long thought that I was wasting food at home, and you wish you could kick me out and leave me alone?"
The sons and daughters-in-law of the Zhai family all choked on their father's roast chicken and were speechless for a long time.
Ning Weimin knew the old man's thoughts and quickly explained.
"Uncle, don't get me wrong. What I value is your gardening skills and your love for this yard. You see how much I want to spend on this yard. I won't live here all the time, so I have to get it."
Please trust someone. Since you have lived here for so many years, and you have maintained this condition after entering the hospital, I believe you. I am really worried about letting others come."
"And I'm not an ignorant person. Didn't you see that I brought you a gift today? So I would never dare to offer you a job. This is a gift. I ask you to show your face and help me."
My favor. We are not partners, but I respect you from the bottom of my heart and regard you as my elder."
"Finally, I have to say that I can understand your love for this yard. But on the other hand, can you understand the other people in the family who long for a building? There is no need to light a coal fire, but you can have private running water and a flush toilet.
Toilets. These are all obvious benefits and a lifestyle that young people like."
"If you really want to comply with your request, I will give you a bungalow before you are willing to move out. Then I am afraid that you will be the only one in your family who is happy. Although it is called filial piety for a son to obey his father, but you also have the desire to lick the baby, don't you?
Everyone wants to have a good life, so it’s best to have the best of both worlds and make everyone happy.”
"I can see it clearly. Your family definitely doesn't dislike you. No matter how much they like the apartment, they never mentioned it to you. This is enough to prove your authority in the family. Those words just now are just that they suddenly realized that
The best solution, I can’t help but be happy, that’s why I’m a little anxious.”
No matter what principles or good words are used, they will not work if benefit, reason, and emotion are combined.
Ning Weimin said everything he needed to say, and also acted as a courtesy to Corporal Xian.
Old man Zhai felt like he was being held up, and it wouldn't be a problem if he held himself tight any longer.
Seeing the expectant looks on his children's faces, the old man thought for a while and finally nodded in agreement.
In this way, everyone was finally happy, and Ning Weimin finally got what he wanted.
From then on, he began to enjoy the residential treatment that could only be matched by the royal family of the Qing Dynasty.
He got a courtyard house that he never dared to think about in his previous life, but that is completely his own in this life, at the level of a cultural protection unit.
