This set of courtyard houses was comprehensively renovated by Wu Shuheng four or five years ago, and the functional facilities are very complete, such as central air conditioning, floor heating system, etc., which are still very advanced today and will not be outdated at all.

Therefore, Xia Ruofei just put forward some revisions to some details according to his own preferences.

For example, open a gate in the third courtyard and turn two vacant wings into garages, so that when driving, you can enter and exit from the back road instead of the relatively crowded Liuhai Hutong.

There is also Xia Ruofei from the southeast province, who prefers osmanthus trees, especially in autumn, when the osmanthus flowers bloom, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers in the courtyard is refreshing, so he plans to plant a few osmanthus trees in the three courtyards.

As for whether he can survive in the cold north, it is not within the scope of Xia Ruofei's consideration - as long as he is willing to give up the Lingxin Flower petal solution, where can he not grow it?

Now Xia Ruofei's Lingxin Flower petals have accumulated a lot, except for regularly injecting some into the water tower of the farm and the water tower of the anchovy breeding workshop, there are not many other places that need to be used, so the reserves have been steadily increasing.

There are also some other small changes, which are nothing more than the feeling that some places are more damaged, and they need to find the same kind of old wood to replace them.

Xia Ruofei, the huge wine cellar in the basement, didn't want to change it for the time being, because he hadn't thought about what to change it to, and the functions of the courtyard were already very complete, so he simply left it alone.

These revisions proposed by Xia Ruofei are not too difficult, Zhao Yongjun wrote them down and said with a smile: "No problem, my friend will definitely be able to complete it, he has done a lot of work that is much more complicated than this!"

Xia Ruofei grinned and said, "Brother Zhao, then I can leave all the transformation matters to you! I definitely can't wait in the capital all the time, so please help me keep an eye on it!"

"Come on, just put your heart in your stomach!" Zhao Yongjun said.

The two walked around the courtyard, and after reading it, Xia Ruofei confirmed that there was nothing that needed to be changed for the time being.

The two sat in the courtyard and chatted for a while, then prepared to close the door and leave.

Originally, Xia Ruofei was going to cook a meal in the courtyard and invite Zhao Yongjun to eat, but after thinking about it, those super ingredients were all stored in the Lingtu space, and it was impossible for him to take them out and use them, otherwise it wouldn't make sense at all.

As for going out to buy ordinary ingredients and come back to make them, Xia Ruofei was not interested at all.

Just as the two were about to leave, Song Rui's phone called.

"Ruofei, are you in the courtyard?" asked Song Rui as soon as the phone was connected.

"Yes!"

"Open the door, open the door!" Song Rui shouted, "I'm at the door!"

With that, he hung up the phone.

Xia Ruofei put away his mobile phone and said to Zhao Yongjun with a smile: "Song Rui's kid came over, and I don't know what's going on......"

"Let's go, let's see!" Zhao Yongjun said.

The two walked through the weeping flower gate and came to the first courtyard, as soon as Xia Ruofei opened the door, he saw Song Rui standing at the door, and there was a square-faced man about thirty years old standing next to him, his body was very strong, and there was a faint momentum towards that station.

"Why is it so slow!" Song Rui complained.

"You kid came to me in a hurry, what's the matter?" Xia Ruofei glanced at the strong man beside Song Rui and asked with a smile.

"Aren't you going to find someone to help you take care of the yard?" Song Rui pointed to the strong man beside him and said, "I'll help you do this early in the morning, I'll bring it to you!"

At this time, Zhao Yongjun, who was behind Xia Ruofei, noticed the people next to Song Rui, and he paused for a moment before he said in surprise: "Wu Qiang?"

The strong man beside Song Rui also raised his head suddenly, and after looking at Zhao Yongjun for a few seconds, he exclaimed in surprise: "Platoon commander, why are you here?"

Zhao Yongjun said with some excitement: "I still want to ask you! Why are you in the capital?

"I've been in the capital all these years!"

"Then why didn't you kid come to me?" Zhao Yongjun said with some dissatisfaction, "Don't treat me as a brother, do you?"

Xia Ruofei and Song Rui both looked confused.

Didn't Song Rui introduce Xia Ruofei to a person who was in the nursing home today? How did it become a meeting between Zhao Yongjun and this Wu Qiang?

"Stop, stop!" Song Rui shouted, "Brother Zhao, do you know Wu Qiang?"

"How do you know each other?" Zhao Yongjun laughed, "He is the soldier I led!"

Xia Ruofei also felt a little magical, is the world really so small?

He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't stand at the door, don't stand at the door, if you have anything to say, come into the house!"

"Yes, yes, yes, enter the house and say it!" Zhao Yongjun also hurriedly said.

Here he happened to meet the soldiers he had led before, and he was also a little excited.

When the group came to the second courtyard, the early autumn weather in the capital was not too cold, and the afternoon sun was warm on the body, so everyone sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

Xia Ruofei went into the house to make a pot of tea and came out.

Naturally, it is the best red robe in the space, the tea does not occupy any space, and it can be put in the carry-on bag, so it will not arouse any suspicion.

Originally, Da Hong Pao was going to make kung fu tea, but there are not many people who drink kung fu tea in the north, and Wu Shuheng doesn't have any decent tea sets in this house, so he can only use a big teapot to make a pot.

This will taste worse, but the tea is good enough, and the tea is fragrant when brewed.

Xia Ruofei poured everyone a cup of tea, and then said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you first talk about the origin of this Wuqiang brother!"

After Zhao Yongjun took a sip of tea, he said with a smile: "This kid was the first batch of recruits I brought when I was a platoon commander......

With Zhao Yongjun's narration, Xia Ruofei and Song Rui learned that after Zhao Yongjun was thrown into the army by General Zhao Cheng, he was successfully promoted in the third year, and was awarded the rank of second lieutenant after half a year of training in the academy.

His first job in the army was as a recruit platoon leader, responsible for training the recruits who had just been recruited that year.

And Wu Qiang is one of these recruits, because of the good military quality, so Zhao Yongjun is very valued, after the recruit training, the recruits have to be assigned to each company, Zhao Yongjun also specially asked him to his own company.

Wu Qiang did not live up to Zhao Yongjun's respect, and his performance was quite excellent, and he became the deputy squad leader in the second year, and later became a non-commissioned officer.

However, Zhao Yongjun had no intention of working in the army, and applied for a transfer to leave the army when he was at the company level.

At that time, Wu Qiang was still serving in the army, and he had become the backbone of his company, serving as a squad leader for several years, and acting as a platoon commander when the platoon commander was vacant.

Zhao Yongjun was arranged to a public institution after changing jobs, but he was also a restless master, and he resigned and went to the sea not long after he worked, and he picked up antiques, which also made General Zhao Cheng angry at that time.

After Zhao Yongjun went to the place for a few years, he lost contact with some of his comrades-in-arms in the army, he just heard that Wu Qiang retired after the expiration of the second-level non-commissioned officer, but he did not expect that Wu Qiang actually came to the capital - the unit they served in was in Hebei Province at that time.

After Zhao Yongjun finished speaking, he looked at Wu Qiang and said, "Your kid has been in the capital for several years, and you haven't contacted the old platoon leader, don't you treat me as a brother?"

Wu Qiang hurriedly said: "Platoon commander, I didn't know you were also in the capital......! The contact information of the year is invalid, the capital is so big, I can't find it if I want to look for you!"

Wu Qiang is telling the truth, Zhao Yongjun has changed his number several times in recent years, and those comrades-in-arms who have not seen him for many years have basically lost contact.

If Zhao Yongjun wants to find Wu Qiang in the capital, it must not be difficult at all, but Wu Qiang is a child of an ordinary family, and he has no connections in the capital, even if he wants to find Zhao Yongjun, it is impossible to find it.

Zhao Yongjun couldn't help but be speechless, and said, "You have a point." ”

Then Zhao Yongjun looked at Song Rui again and asked, "Xiao Rui, how did you know Wu Qiang, and you introduced him to help Ruofei work." ”

Song Rui said with a smile: "Of course it was introduced by someone else! Ruofei said that if I wanted to find a reliable one, it was best to be a veteran, so I looked for Guo Ruchao, he knew more soldiers! This didn't introduce Wu Qiang, and it just so happened that Wu Qiang was in the capital, so I took him over. ”

Zhao Yongjun said in surprise: "Guo Ruchao, Wu Qiang, how do you know Guo Ruchao?"

Guo Ruchao can also be regarded as a member of their circle, but he is older than Song Rui and the others, and his father's position is not as prominent as Zhao Cheng.

However, Guo Ruchao has always been developing in the army, and now he is still the deputy chief of staff of a division stationed in Beijing, and at the age of 35 or 6, he has reached the regimental level, which can be regarded as a very good development.

Wu Qiang said honestly: "He is my former regimental chief of staff. ”

It turned out that after Zhao Yongjun changed jobs, Wu Qiang performed well in a group army competition, and was transferred to the main combat regiment where Guo Ruchao served as the chief of staff as the reconnaissance squad leader.

It's just that the reason why Wu Qiang chose to retire from the army is not only the shortage of senior non-commissioned officers, but more importantly, the cost of medical treatment for the elderly in his family, and the school expenses for his younger brothers and sisters are too large, and the salary of non-commissioned officers is not enough at all, so he wants to leave the army to work in the local area to earn more money.

Guo Ruchao was also very sorry after learning the reason, but still approved Wu Qiang to leave the army.

Not only that, Guo Ruchao also used his connections in the capital to help Wu Qiang find a job.

Originally, Guo Ruchao wanted to help him arrange a white-collar job in an office, but Wu Qiang said that he had a low education and declined, and finally chose a job as a security captain, which can be regarded as a professional counterpart.

In the past few years, Wu Qiang has been in the capital, Guo Ruchao has always taken care of him, this time Guo Ruchao heard that Song Rui wanted to find a job in a private nursing home for his friend, so he recommended Wu Qiang as soon as possible.

After listening to Wu Qiang's explanation, Zhao Yongjun couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect Guo Ruchao to be quite righteous!"

Then he said with some guilt: "Wu Qiang, I didn't know that you were in the capital in the past few years, but Guo Ruchao took good care of you......"

Wu Qiang hurriedly said: "Old platoon leader, I didn't take the initiative to contact you......

Zhao Yongjun waved his hand and said: "Let's get in touch today, you must tell me if you have any difficulties in the future, and I will definitely help you if I can help!"

Zhao Yongjun has a relatively bold personality, and he is also a very nostalgic person, although he doesn't like the life of the army very much, but after seeing Wu Qiang, he can't help but think of his military time.

"I know, old platoon leader!" Wu Qiang said with a touched face.

Then Zhao Yongjun said to Xia Ruofei: "Ruofei, Wu Qiang is a soldier I brought out, his character is absolutely reliable, and his military quality is very good, he must be able to do this job......"

Xia Ruofei naturally understood what Zhao Yongjun meant, and he said with a smile: "Of course I can trust Brother Zhao's soldiers!"

Then he smiled gently at Wu Qiang and asked, "Brother Wu......"

Wu Qiang hurriedly said: "Boss, don't dare to be, just call me Wu Qiang......"

Xia Ruofei smiled, nodded and asked, "Wu Qiang, how are you treated as a security captain?"

Wu Qiang said honestly: "The monthly salary is about 6,000, there are five insurances and one housing fund, the company includes accommodation and a lunch, but it is a collective dormitory." ”

Xia Ruofei nodded and said: "If you come to help me, the work is relatively simple, mainly responsible for the safety and daily maintenance of this house, cleaning or something can be hired by a part-time worker, oh yes, I also need to serve as my driver during my time in the capital, you should be competent, right?"

When Wu Qiang heard it, this job was too easy!

To put it bluntly, he lives here, inspects every day, and doesn't have to clean it himself, and being a driver is not a hard job, not to mention listening to Xia Ruofei's meaning, he will not be in the capital for a long time.

You don't have to do any work every day, and you have such a good house to live in, where can you find such an easy job?

Wu Qiang immediately nodded and said loudly: "Yes!"

Zhao Yongjun said on the side: "Ruofei, Wu Qiang has been the security captain for six thousand months, you can't treat him badly in terms of treatment!"

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, do I look like that kind of stingy person?"

Xia Ruofei is not short of money now, and he has always taken great care of his employees, especially veterans who have retired from the army.

Xia Ruofei groaned slightly, and said: "Wu Qiang, let's do it! You come and help me, the monthly salary is eight thousand, the kitchen and electrical appliances here are ready-made, you can buy vegetables and cook by yourself, I will give you another 1,000 yuan food subsidy every month, as for the five insurances and one housing fund......"

Xia Ruofei thought for a while and said: "My company is in Southeast Province, if you want to pay five insurances and one housing fund in the capital...... Why don't you find a company to attach to first? I'll pay for it!"

When Zhao Yongjun heard this, he immediately said: "What other company are you looking for?

Zhao Yongjun is still very satisfied with Xia Ruofei's treatment, although it is not a particularly high income in the capital, it can definitely be said to be above the middle income.

Wu Qiang only has a high school education, and he has no skills except for being better, so it is already quite good to be able to find such a job.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Then it's decided, and the bill will be sent to me when the time comes!"

Zhao Yongjun said with a big grin: "No, how much can I pay for medical insurance and social security a year?

"Okay, just do what Brother Zhao wants!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

There is indeed not much money for medical insurance and social security, and Xia Ruofei did not be polite to Zhao Yongjun in such a small matter, and he also understood Zhao Yongjun's psychology of wanting to do something for Wu Qiang.

The two of them finalized the matter in a few words, Xia Ruofei turned his head to look at Wu Qiang, and asked with a smile: "Wu Qiang, are you still satisfied with this treatment? If there are any other requirements, you can also mention." ”

Wu Qiang was already stunned.

This job is extremely easy, not to mention, Xia Ruofei's salary is still so high, not only has the salary directly increased by 2,000, but also gives 1,000 food subsidies every month, and even five insurances and one housing fund are fully covered by the old platoon leader.

Moreover, when the security captain is often transferred to various banks and buildings on duty, and often has to work night shifts, his life is irregular, and his work is so hard; and if he works for Xia Ruofei, he has a salary of nearly 10,000 yuan, and lives in a large courtyard house in the center of the capital, and there is nothing to do every day, this is simply a heaven and an underground!

"Wu Qiang, Ruofei asked you!" Zhao Yongjun couldn't help but smile when he saw Wu Qiang stunned.

Wu Qiang came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Satisfied! Satisfied! Boss, you have given too much......

Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said: "This salary is not very high, the old employees of our company can basically get this number, as long as you work hard, the salary will be higher in the future, and I will not let you keep doing this job, you can go to the company when the time comes!"

Wu Qiang said excitedly: "Thank you, boss! I will do it with you in the future! I will go back and resign today!"
