Rebirth of the Flying Era

Chapter 29 Getting ready to start work

When Lei Laoliu heard this, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

He had thought before that he would definitely make a lot of money this time, but Du Fei's promise to give him fifty yuan was still beyond his expectation, so he hurriedly promised to satisfy Du Fei.

But Du Fei's face sank and he said seriously: "Master Lei, five hundred yuan is not a small amount. I'm telling you the dirty talk. You can't cut corners, otherwise... don't blame me for being unkind."

Lei Laoliu's heart trembled and he didn't even dare to say anything.

It was almost half past one when Du Fei returned to the unit.

By noon, the temperature had risen and the snow had basically melted away.

Sitting in the office, Du Fei was somewhat looking forward to what kind of design drawings Lei Laoliu could give in the evening.

But I accidentally discovered that Zhu Ting hadn’t arrived yet!

Section Chief Qian, who was in a good mood at noon, was at a loss as to what to think.

Du Fei thought about it and realized that he was not too troublesome in the past. He couldn't take care of his own troubles now.

Not to mention repairing the house, he hasn't figured out how to tell Chen Zhongyuan about what happened last night.

The whole afternoon passed like this, and Zhu Ting didn't show up again until she got off work.

Section Chief Qian went out twice, once to the inner courtyard, probably to find Director Wang, and once to the outside, and did not come back for two hours.

After getting off work, Du Fei immediately went to Lei Laoliu's house.

The person who opened the door was not Lei Laoliu, but a middle-aged woman. Seeing Du Fei, she quickly smiled and said, "You are Leader Du! Come in quickly, Lao Lei is still busy, please wait a moment."

Du Fei guessed that this woman was Lei Laoliu's wife, and asked with a smile: "Sister, what do you call her?"

The woman was slightly stunned. She was already in her forties. Although she was a beauty when she was young, she has become a dregs now.

The handsome young man in front of me actually didn't call her aunt, but called her eldest sister!

This made her very happy: "My name is Na Xiaocui, and I am Lao Lei's mouth. Leader Du, you are sitting, the fish is stewed on the pot. You can have a bite tonight."

Du Fei did not refuse and made the order. Lei Laoliu earned at least fifty or sixty yuan, which was enough for him to eat for this meal.

"Sister, you don't want to be the boss. I'm just a clerk. Just call me Xiao Du."

"If you say that, the eldest sister will not be polite to you." Xiao Cui said with a hearty smile: "Xiao Du, don't worry, our old Lei can't do anything else, but the job of building houses and temples is very popular in the capital. There is no one better than him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Laoliu walked out of the back room, holding a stack of drawing paper in his hand, and cursed to the kitchen: "You ladies, what are you bragging about!"

There was immediate silence in the kitchen.

However, Du Fei could tell that Lei Laoliu was a little unsure when yelling at his wife. It was obvious that Xiaocui was trying to save face for his own man in front of outsiders.

Lei Laoliu then turned to Du Fei and said with a smile: "Boss Du, these ladies are ignorant." After saying that, he put the drawings in his hands on the table next to Du Fei: "Boss Du, this is what I asked you to do this afternoon. Please take a look at the drawing and see what needs to be changed."

Du Fei glanced over, secretly surprised at Lei Laoliu's drawing skills.

Flip through them one by one to clearly show the effect of the house renovation.

Du Fei nodded repeatedly while watching. Lei Laoliu was indeed very capable. Not only did he achieve the effect he had in mind, he even thought of things that Du Fei didn't mention.

For example, in the bathroom, there is actually a bathtub designed with a fire tunnel underneath, which can be filled with firewood to directly boil water for a bath...

After a while, Du Fei read all eleven drawings and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a professional is a professional!

But on the surface, he remained calm. He put the drawings back on the table, looked up at Lei Laoliu opposite and said, "Very good, just follow your design."

"Okay, as long as you are satisfied." Lei Laoliu breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed: "Well... there is another situation. Your project is not small, and there are many types of materials used. I have used most of them. We can get you cheap ones, but for some products that are in short supply, like glass, you definitely can’t get them at a cheap price. If you have connections, it’s best to look for them, as you can save a lot of money.”

"That's okay. You make a list for me, and I'll try to get whatever I can get." Du Fei nodded and said, "But you can't delay the construction period for too long."

Lei Laoliu thought for a while and said cautiously: "At most... fifteen days, I promise to let you live back."

Du Fei shook his head: "Ten days, I only give you ten days. When you find someone, you can tell them that ten days' work will be counted as fifteen days' wages. Is that okay?"

Lei Laoliu hesitated and finally agreed.

At this time, Xiaocui came out of the kitchen, carrying a small aluminum pot filled with silver carp stewed vermicelli, and a smell suddenly came from it.

The staple food is a large pancake with two sides. The texture is very average, but the more you chew it, the more it tastes and has a hint of sweetness.

Du Fei praised Na Na Xiao Cui for his good craftsmanship while eating happily. Neither of them drank because they were rushing to start work tomorrow. After dinner, Lei Laoliu had to gather people, confirm the process, prepare materials, and everything was complicated.

When it was less than seven o'clock after the meal, Du Fei left three hundred yuan, took the receipt from Lei Laoliu, and went back to pack his things. In addition, he had to find a temporary place to live.

Because there is a carry-on space, it is convenient for Du Fei to pack his things.

When I get home, I stuff all the messy stuff into my carry-on space.

Although his space is not large, it is two meters square from top to bottom, left and right, and the largest standing cabinet in the house can be directly inserted into it.

However, the furniture is too big and disappears out of thin air, which easily arouses suspicion.

Du Fei has no intention of replacing these old furniture. During the few days of repairs to the house, he will put the furniture in the courtyard and borrow a piece of canvas from his work to cover it.

Only those small things that are scattered and unobtrusive will be collected in the space.

As for the issue of temporary accommodation.

He also made a plan. Instead of looking for someone to stay, he would directly ask the money section chief to write a letter of introduction and go to the nearby Red Star Hotel to get a single room for 50 cents a day. It would only cost 5 yuan to stay for ten years.

For Du Fei, who had just made a fortune, he didn't feel bad spending the five yuan at all.

After a night of silence, Du Fei got up early the next day and waited outside the courtyard gate in advance.

Although there are now sixteen or seventeen households living in a courtyard, it is difficult for outsiders to enter.

If Du Fei hadn't contacted him, Lei Laoliu would have brought someone here, and there would have been another misunderstanding.

As soon as we arrived at seven o'clock, we saw four men led by Lei Laoliu coming in from the alley entrance on bicycles. There were shovels, pickaxes, hammers, chisels, and various tools tied to the bicycles.

Du Fei secretly praised, Lei Laoliu was really on time.

Standing outside the gate, he greeted a few people and led them into the courtyard.
