Dongcheng can be said to be the most typical urban-rural fringe in Xingzhou. Thousands of faculty and staff and students of Jiangdong Trade College have supported half of Dongcheng. From Jiangdong Trade College to the city, there is a prosperous atmosphere. However, if you want to go to Liu Songtao's home, you must go east and get farther and farther away from the city.

On one side is the Binxing Railway and the fruitful orange orchard, and on the other side is the rushing Ningyang River. The further away from the city, the more you feel the vast sky. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance and the unrestrained skyline, Yi Ruoshui always has the desire to step on the pedals with all his strength.

Although the sun was still hot, Yi Ruoshui riding on the bicycle was like a wild horse that had an indescribable feeling of pleasure. He quickly rode out of Dongcheng and walked along the main road, and the signs along the road also reminded him that he had left the city and entered Xingzhou County.

Liu Songtao's home is Ninghebian Village. It has long been in NJ District, but in Xingzhou County, which belongs to the Shixiao County. So as soon as he entered Xingzhou County, he felt that there were fewer and fewer houses along the road, and his style became more and more ancient and dilapidated. You can even see many Xingzhou residential houses before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Sometimes you can ride a hundred meters to see one or two houses. Sometimes he had to stop and ask: "Brother, where is Ninghebian Village?"

After walking two more times in the middle, Yi Ruoshui spent half an hour and finally rode to Ninghebian Village.

If Dongcheng is still a junction of urban and rural areas, then Ninghe is a typical urban rural area with no urban atmosphere. There are not many new houses in the village. Even if there are new houses, the standard red brick facade is not even covered with ceramic tiles. There are dry toilets everywhere and there are no signs of running water. The village does not even have one meter of cement roads, only stone roads and gravel roads. Many places are still mechanized farming roads. Sometimes Yi Ruoshui has to get off the car and push the bicycle forward.

However, the villagers all know that Liu Songtao in the village has made a fortune recently: "Liu Songtao? Riding south is that family!"

Yi Ruoshui didn't expect that Liu Songtao's home lived in this kind of place. It was the most typical old-fashioned Xingzhou residential house. Although the yard was large, the house looked a little old. Even if it was not the old house before the land reform, it was an old house built in the 1950s and 1960s.

In a yard, except for two wooden bungalows that have been built with half a floor in recent years, there is only one dry toilet, a pond and a storage room. From a distance, he saw Liu Songtao wearing a police uniform and chatting with two or three people by the pond. Liu Songtao was very interested and was almost dancing, and there seemed to be other guests in the room.

Obviously, since the news of him going to the Dongcheng Police Station to take office, Liu Songtao's family has changed the situation and many old friends have come. Yi Ruoshui seems to be late, so as soon as Yi Ruoshui got off the bicycle, someone asked there: "Brother, are you here to find Liu?"

Yi Ruoshui nodded and said, "That's right, are you looking for Liu Suo?"

The other party said bluntly: "Brother, I'm sorry. We should come first and then arrive in everything. We have been waiting here for more than an hour. You'd better wait a little longer. Let's play a card first!"

Yi Ruoshui looked along his hand and saw that there were already several people waiting outside. They even had a deck of cards to use to spend their time.

He knew that Liu Songtao was definitely different from being promoted to director, but he didn't expect that he was so popular. However, the relationship between Yi Ruoshui and Liu Songtao was different from that of other people. Therefore, he not only did not stop, but instead shouted from afar: "Brother Tao, Brother Tao, I have something important to you, Brother Tao!"

Liu Songtao was just busy talking to people and was happy, but Yi Ruoshui turned around in surprise when he shouted, "Xiao Yi, why are you here? Shufang, take out the bottle of wine sent by Bao Fei, and stir-fry two side dishes as soon as possible. I want to have two glasses with him!"

Yi Ruoshui didn't even lock the bicycle and put it in the yard, and he didn't treat Liu Songtao as an outsider at all: "Brother Tao, don't eat for now. I have a very important matter to talk to you! Brother Tao, how are your legs?"

Liu Songtao's legs were indeed almost good. Although he always felt that Yi Ruoshui was too rash, he apologized to someone and greeted him: "Xiao Yi, what's the important thing that makes you run over so quickly!"

Yi Ruoshui looked into the yard carefully. Liu Songtao was indeed a standard old house. Fortunately, it was renovated a few years ago and even added an attic, otherwise it would not be possible to live in it.

However, Liu Songtao's family lived with his father, brothers and sisters. The two bungalows had at least seven or eight people, so it seemed very crowded. Thousands of red bricks were built to the east of the yard, which meant that Liu Songtao had the idea of ​​rebuilding the house. Therefore, he did not mention Hou Jin's incident but said casually: "We said that there is something important!"

Although the yard is large, the space for the foot is very small. The two of them can only stand by the red bricks that Liu Songtao transported to talk about. Liu Songtao asked while walking: "Xiao Yi, what's the important thing!"

But as soon as Liu Songtao stood up, Yi Ruoshui said anxiously: "Brother Tao, what else can you be so anxious besides building a house? Our trade college now has a professional engineering team to build a new dormitory building for girls. After get off work, it just happened to borrow their cement mixer and excavator to help. When the dormitory building is built, it will not be so convenient!"

Liu Songtao didn't expect that Yi Ruoshui came over for such a big thing, so he was stunned: "Building a house is a big project? How can you build it just by saying it!"

Yi Ruoshui did not regard Liu Songtao as an outsider: "Brother Tao, can you see if this yard still live? Even if you can do it, you can't make it hard for Sister Shufang. Even if Sister Shufang is willing to live with you, can you still let your children live in such a house and suffer?"

Since he confirmed that he was going to be the director of Dongcheng Police Station, Liu Songtao's house can be said to be full of guests. Although Liu Songtao knew that most of the relatives and friends who came to him wanted to have a friendship with him and make some money to ensure safety, otherwise why no one came to help him after he was laid off, he always felt good. However, Yi Ruoshui's words not only made him wake up suddenly, but also made him determined to rebuild the house.

His generation has suffered a lot, and no matter how hard he is, his children cannot suffer. It is really uncomfortable to squeeze into a yard with so many people. Don’t let his children not experience what tap water and toilets are. He has long hoped to move into a dormitory building with independent bathroom and kitchen. However, after entering the factory, the factory has not divided the houses and can only keep this idea in his heart. Now he has only one question: "Isn’t it illegal to flip this way?"

Yi Ruoshui, a college student, gave a solution as he expected: "How can we violate the rules? We will do everything according to the procedures. If the land office wants to make things difficult for us, I will take Teacher Liu from the Law Department to complete the procedures. At that time, we will bring all the provisions and regulations of the province, cities and counties, and fight with them one by one, so that no one can find any fault!"

Speaking of this, Yi Ruoshui made a gesture: "We just flipped the yard and filled the pond. We can build at least two, five and a half rooms and one four and a half rooms. We must make a frame structure. The steel and cement must be poured in place, so that we can ensure a century-old plan. We have to find a way to take the tap water. Well, Brother Tao has brought the tap water here, which means that there is tap water all over the Ning River, which is also a great thing for the village!"

Liu Songtao did not expect Yi Ruoshui to discuss such a big thing with him. He was a farmer and his desire for houses was almost engraved in his bones. Therefore, he suddenly felt that compared with building a house, the things he had just talked about became boring: "There must be no problem with the land office. He dared not give me face, but the project volume was too large. I originally planned to build a three-story bungalow in the yard and then take this opportunity to repair the toilet!"
