Chapter 129

Although Xu Zhengyang himself didn't care, Li Jiandong couldn't treat his bodyguard like this. After all, the other party was also trying to protect his own safety.

Let him sleep in the outer room, on the floor.

But in this way, Li Jiandong and Qin Huairu will have to pay extra attention at night, and it will definitely not be possible for them to get intimate.

But such days did not last long.

It was another Saturday, and before the end of get off work, Director Yang found Li Jiandong.

"Jiandong, your house has been arranged. The boss has arranged for Secretary Wu to wait for you at the new house. Come on, I'll go with you to take a look."

It has been less than a week since we last mentioned arranging a new residence for Li Jiandong.

Such a fast speed shows that the leaders attach great importance to the attack on Li Jiandong.

"Okay, I'm actually looking forward to it."

Li Jiandong also laughed.

Originally, he didn't have much expectation of changing houses. If he could change, he would change. If he couldn't, it didn't matter.

However, since Xu Zhengyang moved in, Li Jiandong hadn't been intimate with Qin Huairu for several days, and he began to look forward to it.

The two men got into their cars, and then Director Yang's car led the way, quickly leaving Nanluoguxiang Street and finally stopping in an alley in a residential area of ​​Qianmen Street.

Li Jiandong got out of the car and Xu Zhengyang followed closely beside him.

After Director Yang got off the car, Li Jiandong asked, "Director Yang, why did you arrange me here? This doesn't belong to our street, right?"

Almost all the worker leaders of the steel rolling mill live in Nanluoguxiang Street.

The steel rolling mill is also an enterprise belonging to Nanluoguxiang Street, but because its level is higher than the street, it is directly managed by the Ministry of Industry.

Director Yang smiled bitterly and said:
"There's nothing we can do about it. You know the situation on our street. All the houses with their own doors and courtyards have been allocated long ago. The leaders are also concerned about your safety and hope that you move out as soon as possible, so they contacted the Zhengyangmen street."

On the Zhengyangmen side, there are more independent houses and courtyards, and some quadrangle courtyards with two entrances. On the contrary, there are relatively few large courtyards like those in Nanluoguxiang.

Li Jiandong glanced at the houses next to him, and they all seemed to have two courtyards.

The last time I went to Ye Xiaoning's house with her, Leader Ye also lived in a house of this level.

As for the suburban house owned by the leader of Bi University, it might be because it is located in a remote area, so a larger house was allocated to it.

I am just a small deputy director-level official. Am I qualified to live here?

Maybe living with other people is possible.

"Come on, Jiandong, let's go in and take a look. Secretary Wu should be waiting for us inside."

Director Yang said this and took the lead and walked into the door next to him.

This is indeed a courtyard house with two entrances. In the past, the outer part was where servants and slaves lived, and the inner part was where the master, his wife and children lived.

Although the yard is not big, the environment inside is quite nice. It must have been renovated before, and the wing rooms have been demolished. There are not many rooms now, but the yard has become bigger, and there are flowers and plants planted in it. Unfortunately, the weather is getting colder now, and these flowers and plants are about to wither.

"Jiandong, the leaders really value you. I also live in a two-story courtyard like this one.

However, I live with others, and many of your rooms have been demolished. Are you planning to give you the whole yard? "

After the wing rooms were demolished, there were only three rooms left in the backyard, one of which was the living room, and the remaining two rooms would not be able to accommodate more people.

Therefore, in a courtyard where two families live together, the side rooms are usually retained, while those that are demolished are basically prepared to accommodate only one household.

At this time, Secretary Wu also heard the sound and walked out.

"Director Yang, you are here. This is Chairman Li Jiandong, right?"

Li Jiandong was assigned here because of his status as the president of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, so it is okay for Secretary Wu to use this title.

"Yes, this is Li Jiandong from our factory. Jiandong, this is Secretary Wu."

Director Yang introduced Li Jiandong.

Li Jiandong also followed suit and said hello: "Hello, Secretary Wu."

"Hello, Chairman Li, the senior leader arranged for me to come and help you with the formalities, and now everything has been done.

This is the key to this yard. You and your family just need to move in. Of course, if you are worried, it is better to change the lock to prevent trouble before it happens. "

Secretary Wu handed Li Jiandong a bunch of keys, one for the front door and several doors inside.

Li Jiandong is very satisfied with his new house. The main point is that it is big. If it is as crowded as Yard 40, it can easily accommodate four or five households.

Now that two such large courtyards have been given to him, Li Jiandong really has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

It was already evening when we returned to the steel mill.

Li Jiandong first went to his office to get something, then got back in the car and went home.

Xu Zhengyang drove very steadily, and he kept his eyes and ears open, showing that he was very alert. After parking the car at the entrance of the alley, he immediately jumped out to help Li Jiandong open the door.

Back at the courtyard, Yan Bugui was cleaning his bicycle.

Li Jiandong said:
"Old Yan, let's call a meeting for the whole hospital later."

Yan Bugui stopped wiping the car and turned around to ask, "Old Li, do you want to talk about the enemy spies?"

"No, you should eat first, and then we'll talk after dinner."

After Li Jiandong finished speaking, he returned to the Intermediate Courtyard.

Qin Huairu had already prepared the meal and was feeding her little daughter. When she saw Li Jiandong coming back, she said, "Brother Jiandong, the meal is in the pot. Wash your hands first and I'll take it later."

"No, just feed the baby and I'll clean up."

Li Jiandong washed his hands, then opened the lid of the pot and took out the food.

Although it was a difficult period, the food standard of Li Jiandong's family did not decline much.

It’s just that we don’t stew meat every few days like we used to, but there is definitely meat and oil in the dishes for every meal.

As soon as he finished his meal, Yan Bugui called Liu Haizhong over.

As per convention, before the whole hospital meeting, the three uncles would communicate with each other and talk about the content of tonight's meeting.

"Old Li, what's going on tonight? Didn't we just have a meeting two days ago? Why are you suddenly calling everyone together again?"

Yan Bugui noticed that the atmosphere today was different.

Li Jiandong sighed and said reluctantly: "Old Yan, Old Liu, I called everyone together tonight because I have something to announce. I will be moving tomorrow."

"what?"

Yan Bugui was sitting with his legs crossed and was so frightened that he almost shook his shoes off.

"No, Lao Li, why are you moving out all of a sudden? You're living well in our courtyard, aren't you? Is it because of the incident with the enemy spies?"

"But even if there are enemy spies, it's safer in our hospital than outside. At least, there are still many people in our hospital who are willing to take bullets for you."

He told the truth.

At least Jia Dongxu, He Daqing, Sha Zhu and others are definitely willing to take the blame for Li Jiandong.

Liu Haizhong also looked surprised.

Now, he no longer cares about the position of the uncle.

Isn't it better to be a workshop director following Li Jiandong than to be an uncle?
He was also waiting for Li Jiandong to make further progress before promoting him.

Now that Li Jiandong is moving away, it is a huge loss for Liu Haizhong.

"Yes, Deputy Director Li, you should continue to live in our courtyard. If there are enemy spies, I, Liu Haizhong, will definitely be the first one to stand in front of you. They want to hurt you, but they have to step over my dead body."

Liu Haizhong was very excited.

Li Jiandong believed that if he encountered any problems, he would really dare to rush ahead of him.

This old Liu is absolutely willing to make sacrifices for the sake of progress.

Of course, the premise cannot be a certain death outcome, otherwise even if he is not very smart, he should be able to make the right judgment.

“Okay, it’s not what you think, it’s actually because my level is high enough to have a separate family.

My boss has been helping me find a house for a long time, but it was only recently arranged.”

Li Jiandong said lightly.

Anyway, I have decided to move out, so it doesn’t matter why.

"Lao Li, where are you moving to? Is it close to our hospital?"

Yan Bugui asked.

At this time Liu Haizhong also reacted. As long as the distance was close, he could still lick Li Jiandong. At most, he could report to Li Jiandong after get off work every day.

"It's OK. It's not too close, but not too far either. It's near the front gate, near Dashilan. It takes 20 minutes to walk there, or a short ride on a bike."

The distance was neither close nor far, and Liu Haizhong breathed a sigh of relief.

He has a bicycle, so he can walk more often.

"Okay, stop talking and go ring the bell first." Li Jiandong stood up and said, he walked out and pulled the bell rope, while Liu Haizhong ran to the tavern dormitory building to call people.

After a while, people came out one after another carrying stools.

"Uncle, what is the meeting about today?"

"Tomorrow is the weekend, aren't we going to have a dinner party?"

"You are such a greedy person, you only know how to have dinner parties. In my opinion, it should be about Damao's wedding, which seems to be this month."

"It's still a long way to go before we get married, but Damao's girlfriend's family is so rich, so it makes sense to prepare now."

The residents were talking to each other, and they all thought that Xu Damao was going to get married.

Soon everyone arrived.

Li Jiandong and the other two sat behind the round table. Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were both feeling a little down. Finally, Liu Haizhong stood up first and said:

"Dear neighbors, we have gathered you here today because we have something very sad to announce."

After Liu Haizhong said this, the residents were stunned, and even Li Jiandong was confused.

What is sad thing?
I was just moving, why did this idiot make it sound like I was dead?
Yan Bugui also felt that Liu Haizhong's words were wrong, and reminded him,

"Lao Liu, if you have something to say, just keep it to yourself. Don't be sentimental."

Liu Haizhong was unaware of anything. He sniffed hard, squeezed his eyes which had no tears, and then said:
"Old Yan, don't you feel conscienceless when you say this? The most respected master in our hospital is about to leave our hospital and move to another place."

"Such a big thing, don't you have any reaction at all? I am expressing my true feelings, how can it be called sensationalism?"

what?
An old man is moving out?

Hearing what Liu Haizhong said, the residents in the courtyard couldn't remain calm anymore.

"Master, what's going on? Why are you moving out?"

"Yes, uncle, we get along well with our neighbors, why do you want to move away?"

"Master, where are you going? I'll go with you."

"Master"

"A Great Uncle"

Li Jiandong's popularity in the hospital was definitely not exaggerated. Everyone became excited when they heard that he was leaving.

Especially some of his disciples, who even threatened to leave with Li Jiandong. Without Li Jiandong around, they always felt uneasy about anything they did.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing and let our beloved Mr. Li Jiandong say a few words to everyone first."

After Liu Haizhong said this loudly, the scene became quiet.

Compared to the residents in the courtyard, Li Jiandong was relatively calm. He stood up and said:
"My dear neighbors, we have lived together in this courtyard for nearly ten years, just like a family. To be honest, I am reluctant to leave, but all good things must come to an end. My superiors have arranged a new place for me to live, so I should not be ungrateful, right?"

"Fortunately, the new residence is not far from here. It is at the junction of Dashilan and Qianmen Streets. You can go there to play when you have time. I will treat you all to a meal then."

Li Jiandong said it very easily, but the residents found it a little hard to accept.

He personally said that he wanted to move, which made the residents realize that there was no room for maneuver.

Several disciples were a little sad.

Li Huilan, Sister Ma and other women who had received favors from Li Jiandong had tears in their eyes.

Only Ye Xiaoning understood what was going on.

He stood up and said:
"Don't be sad, everyone. Our uncle is now at the deputy department level. He has been assigned a private house and courtyard by the higher-ups. We should be happy for him."

Liu Haizhong also followed up and said:

"Ms. Ye is right. Our beloved uncle has been promoted, and this new residence is a recognition of him by his superiors.

We have received many favors from the master, and we cannot hold him back on this matter."

After Liu Haizhong and Ye Xiaoning’s explanation, the residents felt better.

No one wanted Li Jiandong to leave, but everyone knew that they should not selfishly confine him to the courtyard.

"Uncle, when are you going to leave? We want to see you off."

Li Huilan said with red eyes that if it weren't for Li Jiandong's help over the years, she would have died because she couldn't afford the medicine.

Sister Ma in the backyard also cried and said:
"You have helped us so much over the years, we have no way to repay you, so let us help you move."

He Daqing's nose was also a little sour: "Old Li, you are really something. If you had told me earlier that you were moving, I would have made something good to send you off."

Xu Damao also whispered, "Master, I'm getting married at the end of this month. Can you still come then?"

Li Jiandong laughed:

"Silly boy, you are my apprentice. How could I not come for such a big event as marriage?"

To be honest, it feels good to be cared for by everyone in the hospital. Li Jiandong is really reluctant to leave here.

However, the living conditions on both sides are too different. Li Jiandong lives here, and even his children can only be placed in the dormitory building of the tavern.

If the house wasn't too small, he would also like to live under the same roof with his son and daughter.

Now that he has a new place to live, he is not the kind of person who can't tell the difference between near and far. For the sake of his wife and children, he must move out.

"Okay, everyone, don't be so dejected. The main purpose of holding this meeting today is to say goodbye to everyone.

Tomorrow is the weekend and I will move out. I will not be able to interfere in the affairs of the hospital. I hope that everyone can live a better and better life under the leadership of Lao Liu and Lao Yan. "

"Let's end today's meeting here. We'll see you when Damao gets married."

Li Jiandong announced the adjournment of the meeting and returned home.

Qin Huairu only found out about the move after Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui came to ask about it.

Now is the time to ask.

"Brother Jiandong, are we really going to move away?"

"Yeah, you don't want to leave here?"

Li Jiandong smiled and said.

Qin Huairu was indeed a little reluctant to leave, as everyone in the hospital was very nice.

Because of Li Jiandong's relationship, he respects her very much, and there are good sisters like Ye Xiaoning and Xu Huizhen. If she moves away, she will have to get to know new neighbors again.

"If you don't want to leave, then we won't move."

Li Jiandong said seriously.

A big part of the reason why he moved was for Qin Huairu and the children. If Qin Huairu didn't want to move, he would of course put her first.

Qin Huairu thought for a few seconds and said:
“Although I’m a little reluctant, I still have to move, otherwise I’ll have to live separately from Xunfu and the others every day.

Sometimes, I am worried about them. By the way, Brother Jiandong, is the place they live in big enough?"

"It's big."

Li Jiandong said with a smile.

"How big is it?"

"Well... the yard is twice as big as our central yard, and there are seven rooms in total. The ones we live in are bigger than the two we have now."

Qin Huairu's eyes sparkled with stars. The only downside to living here was that the place was too small.

After Li Jiandong said this, Qin Huairu actually became a little excited.

The night passed.

Early the next morning, Li Jiandong prepared to find someone to move.

When I opened the door, I saw that the central courtyard was already full of people.

Everyone wanted to do something for Li Jiandong, but Li Jiandong had everything he needed, so they decided to help him move.

Originally, Li Jiandong wanted to take advantage of the weekend morning when everyone was sleeping in to find a few helpers and move the things to the car. Now that so many neighbors came to help, he didn't even have to find helpers.

"Master, I have borrowed a car from the factory. I will take everyone there to have a look at your new house. How is it? I will also deliver your gifts to you."

Yan Jiecheng acted first and reported later, and only spoke out after the car had already reached the entrance of the alley.

If Liu Guangqi wants to be good enough to study giant mushrooms, he may need to study physics for a few more years.

Li Jiandong was speechless:

"You've already driven the car here, why are you asking me what I want to do?"

Yan Jiecheng chuckled.
In fact, at first he only planned to bring a few fellow apprentices and sisters to help Li Jiandong move.
Who would have thought that today all the residents in the courtyard got up early, waiting to help Li Jiandong.

When they heard that he was going to drive there, they all begged him to take them along.
Yan Jiecheng was just a junior after all, and it was difficult for him to refuse the requests of his elders.

With the help of people from the entire hospital in the move, all of Li Jiandong's things were packed up soon, including items as big as wardrobes and cupboards, which were directly lifted onto the car.
