My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 33: Work and Housing Allocation

Zhang Lei stood by and watched Sha Zhu slaughter the pig for a while. He had to admit that Sha Zhu's skills were quite impressive, and his technique was very swift.

However, after watching for a short while, he felt it wasn't very interesting, so he turned around and went to find Li Huaide.

Li Huaide was explaining the meat distribution to the logistics department staff when he saw Zhang Lei coming over. He immediately smiled and waved his hand, "Come, come, Zhang Lei, sit here."

Seeing his politeness, Zhang Lei didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the bench next to him, getting straight to the point: "Director Li, about my wife's two younger sisters' job reassignment, what do you think..."

Li Huaide looked at Zhang Lei and waved his hand with a smile: "Don't worry, I just called and confirmed that the publicity department can transfer you to a position."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei quickly pressed, "Director Li, this is only one."

Li Huaide waved his hand again and said slowly, "I've already thought of another one for you. I also have a sales clerk position at your street office's supply and marketing cooperative. I wonder if you're satisfied with that?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "Satisfied, very satisfied!"

Seeing his overjoyed expression, Li Huaide smiled faintly: "I'm glad you're satisfied. Just go to the personnel department to complete the formalities later."

At this moment, Zhang Lei brought over the bag he had brought with him and placed it next to Li Huaide's desk.

Li Huaide looked at the bag suspiciously and asked, "What's this?"

Zhang Lei explained with a smile, "Director Li, this is some beef I got from the villagers when I went to the countryside before. I know you work hard every day, so I brought it to you to help you recover."

Li Huaide curiously lifted the bag to take a look, then reached out and weighed it in his hand, estimating it to be about a hundred pounds. He immediately burst out laughing: "You, you, what can I say about you?"

Seeing that he was happy, Zhang Lei added, "By the way, Director Li, my wife's two younger sisters have found jobs now, but they still don't have a place to live."

Li Huaide pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll call your neighborhood office and ask them to help you make arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei quickly stood up to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Director Li! If you ever need any meat in the future, just let me know. As long as I can get it for you, I won't hesitate!"

Li Huaide smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll contact you directly if I need anything in the future."

Taking advantage of Li Huaide's good mood, Zhang Lei went up to him and said a few more nice words before turning around and leaving Li Huaide's office.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Zhang Lei was in an extremely good mood. He was happily calculating in his mind that he had settled his work matter and also found a place for Ye Shuqi and Ye Shuhua to live, which meant that they would have at least two more rooms. This was simply a double blessing!

Zhang Lei, filled with joy, quickly returned from the steel rolling mill to the No. 95 courtyard house.

As soon as he reached his front door, he saw the three Ye sisters chatting in the yard. They all looked surprised to see Zhang Lei return.

Ye Shuqi spoke first: "You're home? Why are you back at this time?"

Zhang Lei smiled and raised his eyebrows: "I'm back at this time of year because I have good news to tell you all."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuhua immediately skipped over, grabbing his arm and asking, "Is our work arranged? Is it? Is it?"

Zhang Lei reached out and flicked Ye Shuhua's nose, smiling indulgently: "So smart, you guessed it right away."

Ye Shuqi also became happy and quickly pulled Zhang Lei to sit down: "Honey, tell us quickly, tell us in detail."

Zhang Lei cleared his throat, looked at the three sisters in front of him, and said loudly, "That's right, thanks to my efforts, your job positions have been finalized. One of you will be in the publicity department of the steel rolling mill, and the other will be a sales clerk at our street office's supply and marketing cooperative."

Upon hearing this, the three sisters all showed joy.

Zhang Lei looked at Ye Shuqi and Ye Shuhua: "You two discuss it and see who wants to go to the steel mill and who wants to stay at the supply and marketing cooperative in the subdistrict office."

Ye Shuqi first looked at her younger sister: "Shuhua, which one do you want to go to?"

Ye Shuhua tilted her head and thought for a moment, her eyes sparkling: "I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative! I want to see what delicious and fun things they have there."

Ye Shuqi nodded and turned to Zhang Lei: "Honey, then I'll go to the propaganda department of the steel rolling mill."

Zhang Lei smiled and nodded: "Okay, as long as you two can agree on it."

He suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh right, you three, come with me to the neighborhood office later."

Ye Shuqin asked in confusion, "Honey, what are we going to the neighborhood office for?"

Zhang Lei explained, "Of course, we'll transfer the household registrations of all three of you. We've brought all the necessary documents, so we can get things done together."

He slapped his forehead, remembering another important matter, and his smile deepened: "Oh right, there's also the house allocated to Shuqi and Shuhua. I've already asked Deputy Factory Director Li to help me put in a good word with the neighborhood office. I'll ask about the situation at the same time."

Ye Shuhua tilted her little face curiously and asked, "Honey, will my second sister and I get our own rooms too?"

Zhang Lei smiled and ruffled her hair, his tone certain: "Of course you can. You both have formal jobs now, which fully meets the housing allocation criteria, so you'll definitely be allocated a room."

Ye Shuqi looked at Zhang Lei and asked somewhat nervously, "Then, honey, if we get separate rooms, does that mean we won't live with you anymore?"

Zhang Lei explained with a smile, "No, whether you get separate rooms or not, we can live together. But if you do get separate rooms, our family will have at least two extra rooms. Even if we don't live in them, we can rent them out to supplement our household income."

Ye Shuqi was relieved. She had been really worried that she would have to live separately from Zhang Lei after the rooms were assigned, which was something she absolutely did not want.

At this moment, Zhang Lei looked at the two sisters and specifically instructed them, "When you two go to the neighborhood office later, be sure not to call them by the wrong titles."

Ye Shuhua patted her chest with a grin and assured him, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, we definitely won't tell the neighborhood committee director that my brother-in-law and I sleep in the same bed."

Looking at the mischievous Ye Shuhua, Zhang Lei reached out and tapped her on the head, saying irritably, "What nonsense are you spouting in broad daylight?"

Ye Shuqin glared at Ye Shuhua and scolded her softly, "Little sister, don't talk nonsense."

Ye Shuhua stuck out her tongue and put on an innocent look.

At this moment, Ye Shuqin seemed to suddenly remember something and said seriously, "Honey, speaking of which, I've been thinking about this before. The three of us can't keep sleeping with you all the time. If the people in the courtyard find out, it will definitely cause trouble."

Zhang Lei thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "You're right."

But before he could finish speaking, Ye Shuqin interrupted him.

Ye Shuqin continued, "The three of us sisters have decided that one of us will take turns keeping you company each day. That will make six days in total, and there are seven days in a week."

Zhang Lei instantly understood and said with a smile, "Oh, I get it. You mean the three of you will take turns keeping me company from Monday to Saturday, and I can rest on Sunday, right?"

Ye Shuqi interrupted him directly, blushing as she said, "No, sir, we meant that the three of us would stay with you on Sunday."

Upon hearing Ye Shuqi's words, Zhang Lei's mouth dropped open in astonishment. Could such an arrangement really exist? He paused for a moment, then happily exclaimed, "Okay, we'll do it your way!"
