The next morning, there were a lot of patients, and several came to see him for pain in their backs and arms.

In addition, Aunt Zheng gave five people shoulder or waist massages in the morning.

Finally, Zhang Yan simply took them to do the Baduanjin together.

After doing this, I have free time to read in peace.

Unfortunately, after watching it for less than half an hour, Aunt Zhou came riding a bicycle.

Zhang Yan was very unhappy because he couldn't study.

"Auntie, you're here!" Zhang Yan had to smile to greet her.

After all, he is running for his house.

"Dr. Zhang, these are the procedures for building a house by yourself, I have completed them for you.

Do you have time now? I will take you to see the place, and if you are not satisfied, I will find a way to change it for you."

"Yes, there is time!

It just so happens that it’s not busy here!”

Zhang Yan went to Lao Liangtou to ask for leave, borrowed his bicycle, and followed Aunt Zhou to Liuhai Hutong in Shichahai.

"This was originally a Baylor House. Later, during the war, the front yard, backyard, and back garden were all blown up, leaving only the front yard and middle yard still intact.

After liberation, residents were arranged in the front yard, middle yard, and backyard, which was relatively lightly damaged.

Only the courtyard and the back garden were seriously damaged and have not been repaired.”

Aunt Zhou led Zhang Yan into a courtyard and introduced the situation to him.

"Director Zhou is here!"

"What instructions does Director Zhou have?"

Along the way, people kept saying hello to Aunt Zhou.

Only then did Zhang Yan realize that this kind aunt was actually the director, but he didn't know whether it was positive or negative.

Zhang Yan, led by Aunt Zhou, walked through the courtyard, passed through a moon gate, and came to a ruins.

"This is a bombed-out courtyard. Although it is a courtyard, according to the regulations of Baylor House, this courtyard is much larger than an ordinary small courtyard." Aunt Zhou pointed to the ruins and introduced to Zhang Yan.

"The area is not small. It must be more than two acres of land, right?"

“A normal small courtyard house has one-third of an acre of land, but here it’s one-third of an acre of land.

I originally planned to give you the back garden, but then I thought that the people in the yard over there had planted vegetables in it. If I forced it to be given to you, you would have offended the people in the yard before you even came in.

Furthermore, the bricks and tiles in this courtyard can still be used, and you can save some money." Aunt Zhou said very considerately.

"Auntie is right, these bricks and tiles can be used after cleaning." Zhang Yan agreed.

These days, how many of those building houses in courtyard houses buy new bricks? They all buy bricks to build their houses.

Of course, the houses they built were not big. They built small houses next to their own houses.

For future generations, this is all illegal construction.

"Auntie, don't worry about anything. Can you help me find a house builder? I just came back and I don't know anyone in this field."

"This is a small matter. People who can build houses live in this courtyard. His ancestors built houses specifically for the emperor. It is a small-handle style with good craftsmanship." Aunt Zhou said as she led the way.

He led Zhang Yan to the middle courtyard.

"Lao Yang, Lao Yang, are you at home?"

"Director Zhou, what are your orders?" An old man in his fifties opened the door and walked out, asking with a smile.

"This is Dr. Zhang from the steel rolling mill. He applied to the street to build a self-built house. Why don't you go check it out?"

"Okay, Director Zhou, thank you for thinking of me." Yang, who was in his fifties, nodded and bowed to Aunt Zhou to thank her, very humbly.

"Uncle Yang, this house is a problem for you!"

"No trouble, no trouble, I have to thank you for the meal." Lao Yang still maintained a humble attitude.

"Okay, you two can chat slowly. I have to leave. There's still a lot of trouble on the street!" Seeing Zhang Yan and Lao Yang picking up the fight, Aunt Zhou chose to retire.

"Auntie, look it's almost noon, let's have a quick meal together!" Zhang Yan said sincerely.

"No, I'll warm the pot for you after your house is built." Aunt Zhou smiled and refused Zhang Yan's offer to stay.

After seeing Aunt Zhou off, Zhang Yan took Lao Yang to the courtyard in the backyard.

"Dr. Zhang, how do you plan to build it?"

"Lao Yang, you are a veteran in the construction industry. Please give me an idea on how to build it." Zhang Yan looked at Lao Yang and said with a smile.

This is also a test of Lao Yang's level.

“The best thing is to rebuild it according to the original style, so that it is more harmonious with the surrounding buildings.

Although this is a cross-yard of Baylor Mansion, the regulations are not low. There are five main rooms and three east and west wing rooms.

There are also fish ponds and flower beds in the courtyard, and there is a small garden behind the main house.

If Dr. Zhang plans to build it according to the original style, I just have a ready-made style drawing here."

Zhang Yan thought about it for a while, and found that there were five main rooms and three east and west wing rooms, adding up to a total of eleven houses. It was a pity that this was across a courtyard and there were no side rooms or anything like that.

Eleven houses are enough to live in. Any more will cause trouble.

Even this is already exceeding the standard.

But it doesn't matter. There are still ten years left before the era of the wind rises. If you work hard, why don't you give birth to four or five children in ten years?

And my weird parents know that I have a house in the city, so they still have to move in overnight?

He can even move in with his younger brothers and sisters.

No, it's okay to take care of your parents for your predecessor. This is the duty of children, but it's not okay to take care of your younger siblings by sucking your own blood.

I am not a fool, nor am I a predecessor.

Speaking of which, Zhang Yan was a little depressed. The transfer fee given by his predecessor when he changed his job was taken away by his father before he could get married, saying that it was for the second and third son to get a wife.

Grandma, as the eldest brother, he doesn’t have a wife yet, so he should be busy getting a wife for the second and third children.

Are they biological?

"Mr. Yang is indeed a veteran in the construction industry. I will rebuild it as you said.

I have to ask you to calculate how much it will cost to rebuild." After calculating for a while, Zhang Yan said to Lao Yang.

"Okay, there's no problem with this.

Doctor Zhang, your yard is full of garbage and you need someone to clean it up. Look at this area..."

"Don't worry about anything, Master! I can't live without people. Mr. Yang, help me find someone to do it!"

"Okay, the bricks and tiles here are still usable, but cleaning them requires some labor. It takes about five people and two days! It costs 50 cents per person a day, so it costs five yuan in total." Lao Yang calculated and reported.

One price.

Five yuan is a good deal for half an hour of reading.

Zhang Yan directly took out five yuan and handed it to Lao Yang, "Lao Yang, please help find someone to clean it up!"

"Doctor Zhang, there is no need to give it now, just wait until the cleaning is completed." Lao Yang declined repeatedly.

"It's okay. I may not have time to come over and watch. These five dollars are just for giving you the cleaning work package. I don't care how much you spend. I will only accept the five dollars."

Zhang Yan's meaning is very clear. You can clean it up without spending a penny. That's your job. If you spend ten yuan to clean it up, you can pay the five yuan yourself.

Did Lao Yang suffer a loss?

If you don't want to suffer a loss, you must know that the yard behind it has to be left to him. A yard costs several thousand yuan, and there must be at least four to five hundred in profit.

"Doctor Zhang, how do you plan to build this yard? Should we just do the work, or add materials together?" Lao Yang asked the topic he was most concerned about.

“Of course I’ll package it for you along with the work and ingredients.

However, you have to find me some good wood for these beams, citrons, columns, and eaves, and don’t fool around with pine wood.”

"Understood, don't worry, Dr. Zhang, I promise not to fool you with pine wood! I can't guarantee you the specific material now. Please let me take a look around and report to you."

"Okay, there are also furniture in the house, I don't want new ones, they are too eye-catching.

Let me look around for some old furniture, old furniture made of small-leaf red sandalwood or Hainan huanghuali.

Such old furniture is used inconspicuously, and in the future, it can be regarded as leaving some inheritance to future generations." www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

Zhang Yan didn't hide it either. Anyone with insight knows that the difficulty is only temporary and the value of these old objects will definitely increase in the future.

But what if you know, people can't live anymore, so how can they care about these old objects?

It’s better to live first.

"I understand, please allow me to take a look around for you! As for the price, I will give you a quote after I take a look around. Do you agree?" Although Zhang Yan respected him very much, Lao Yang's attitude was always very serious.

Low and well placed.
