Deputy Factory Director Li's leverage for domineering in Yagangchang, the assault team of Yagangchang led by Team Captain Xu Daming was ordered to disband.

Xu Daming (line9)

Shazhu inquired for a while; the Security Section and relevant departments were all asked, and nobody knew where Xu Daming had gone.

Given Biesun's great fortune, luck, and fate, Xu Daming should be fine; when he was Team Captain, all the offending tasks inside Yagangchang had already been done by Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong (line12)

During Deputy Factory Director Li's tenure, the measures and decisions he announced were all abolished.

People everywhere were discussing production, but because too much time had passed in between, both the machines and the workers operating them had to go through a period of becoming familiar again.

Wei Guo (line33)

Xiang Hong (line33)

Since Shazhu is a cook, cooking is his original profession; there is no issue of his skills being rusty or not, and the skilled workers' skills competition has nothing to do with him.

Xiao Hong (line33)

To do a secret deed that only Shazhu knows.

If it weren't for having lived two lives, Shazhu wouldn't know that when Factory Director Yang first took office, he issued three personnel orders in total; besides the first two, there was another: he dumped all of Yagangchang's subsidiary industries onto Jiēdào, and the property rights of the Siheyuan houses were also transferred from Yagangchang to Jiēdào; any person living in a Yagangchang house, as long as they paid a certain amount of money, the house would become their private property.

Jia (director) (line42) - we need to decide raw term: Jia (person) or Director Jia? We'll use Jia as raw term, original term Jia.

Old Yang Family (line46)

Supply and Marketing Cooperative (line48)

Inside the Siheyuan, some rooms had been artificially left vacant; the rooms originally belonging to Yi Zhonghai's family in Zhong Yuan, one large and one small, had seals from the Yagangchang Committee on their doors; the room of Long Laotaitai in Hou Yuan had seals from Jiēdào.

San Daye (line58)

Grade Director (line59)

Four or five children: Weiguo was fifteen, Xianghong twelve, Baoguo ten, Xiaohong eight, Niu Niu five. In the year Bangeng went down to the countryside, Yu Li's womb was very promising, and she gave Shazhu a son.

Three sons and two daughters.

Shazhu must also consider the children's future marriages.

He actually wanted to buy an apartment building.

The key is, it's not for sale now.

As for the unit's dormitory building, Shazhu still doesn't qualify.

For the present plan.

Only those near the water get the moon first; priority should be given to figuring things out within the siheyuan.

It amounts to creating a time lag.

After going into the house and getting money from Yu Li, Shazhu rode his bicycle to the Jiēdào and met the newly transferred Jia section chief.

At a glance.

Still an acquaintance.

Having connections in the court makes it easy to become an official.

Jia section chief and Shazhu were acquainted; their past relationship was also good. Faced with Shazhu's request, he naturally readily agreed to Shazhu's request to buy a house. Yi Zhonghai's former house, Long Laotaitai's house, and the house of Lao Yang next to the Jia family all went to Shazhu, mainly because these houses have the possibility of expansion.

The purchase documents were in triplicate; Shazhu kept one copy, the Jiēdào kept one, and the superior department of the Jiēdào kept one.

He slipped the certificate into his green satchel, fastened the buckle uneasily, and when passing the supply and marketing cooperative, Shazhu went and bought several locks.

Returned to the siheyuan.

He locked his bicycle and casually tore off the seal on the outside of Yi Zhonghai's house.

Because no one had lived there for four or five years.

The interior gave off a rotten, moldy smell.

Shazhu used his hand as a fan, gently waving the murky air beside his mouth, then opened the windows; Long Laotaitai's house and Lao Yang's house were also opened by him in imitation.

Such a commotion.

Naturally, it attracted the attention of some observant people.

In the front yard, Yan Fugui, after a puff of smoke, shuffled over to Shazhu.

"Shazhu, what's this?"

"San Daye, I thought you would scold me with a reckless remark."

"Nonsense, your San Daye isn't stupid." Yan Fugui's face flashed with a hint of surviving-the-calamity relief, and he recounted the school's affairs to Shazhu in full: "Let me tell you, our school has returned to how it was before; your San Daye, I am now the grade head."

"Congratulations, San Daye, on nearing retirement, becoming an official, and becoming the school's grade head."

Shazhu suddenly remembered his several children.

Each one is someone who doesn't let people relax.

Weiguo's academic performance is poor; he has no hope of getting into high school.

Shazhu was thinking about letting him join the army.

The eldest daughter, Xianghong, has average grades; she can still be salvaged.

Ten-year-old Baogu spends all day thinking about cooking; Shazhu guesses his culinary skills have found a true heir; eight-year-old Xiaohong just started first grade.

Yan Fugui became the grade director at Red Star Elementary School; he might really be able to help Xianghong and Xiaohong improve their grades.

"One matter, don't bother two masters; back then, Yushui was urged by you to get into high school; I entrust Xianghong's and Xiaohong's grades to you, San Daye."

"This isn't urgent; I want to ask what's going on."

Yan Fugui pointed with his finger at the several rooms that Shazhu had opened.

Some neighbors also focused their gaze on Shazhu; this includes Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu. The Jia family's two widows have been fighting over the siheyuan houses for days, not just a day or two. They want Yi Zhonghai's house, they also want the house of the deaf old lady in the backyard, and even more, the house originally belonging to the old Yang family next door to the Jia family, which Jia Zhangshi regards as the Jia family's private plot, hoping that Bangeng will return someday, get married and have children in that house.

Unexpectedly, Shazhu tore off the seal on the door.

Very surprised.

Also very doubtful.

"This house belongs to me."

Just as he finished speaking.

He hadn't yet had a chance to say what came after.

Jia Zhangshi then jumped up and started shouting at Shazhu.

"Shazhu, what nonsense are you saying? What makes it your house? In the siheyuan, only your current room and the room where Weiguo lives are your family's private property; the remaining rooms are all the steel mill's houses. You have a lot of nerve, actually calling the steel mill's rooms your own. Believe it or not, I'll go report you."

"I just remembered something: someone at the steel mill said the property rights of our siheyuan houses have been transferred to the street office, so we no longer need to pay rent monthly, quarterly, or yearly as before; after paying a lump sum of however much money, the houses will belong to us."
