Siheyuan: Why is my crossing so ugly?

Chapter 10 Pigeon Market

To say that Xu Damao's eloquence in coaxing girls is really good, if the system is rated, his skills in picking up girls and shooting wives must be at least level 2.

Anyway, listening to the opposite party eating and chatting, the words never fall to the ground, but it can be regarded as laughter and joy.

On the one hand, Xu Damao needs commentary when he goes to the countryside to show movies, and he has developed a good eloquence; on the other hand, he is considered a natural talent.

Scumbags also need talent. In the courtyard, Xu Damao is the most powerful woman. Lou Xiaoe, Qin Jingru, Yu Haitang, and the unclear Qin Huairu, Xu Damao is basically a ruthless man who has successfully collected stamps and is close to a grand slam. up.

However, these have nothing to do with Du Weiguo, Xiao Du doesn't even like these women, just don't mess with me, if you mess with me, I'll mess with you, and it's the kind that kills you right away.

As for Lou Xiao'e, a letter of remonstrance is Xiao Du's greatest sincerity, which can be regarded as the best of benevolence.

I believe that as long as her family can hear [-] to [-] percent, combined with the change of wind direction, they can make a quick decision. As for Xu Damao, with the energy of her family, after careful investigation, it is basically clear who he is.

The rough sketches of the decoration are basically finished. There are 6 pieces in total. They are somewhat rough, but they are marked with length, width and height according to approximate proportions. In addition to the layout of the house, it also includes walls, roofs, eaves, beams, windows, doors and even furniture. , basically accurate to 5 cm.

After all, Comrade Du has drawn scouting maps before, and they are all basic operations.

There is even a list of materials, including blue bricks, cement, quartz stone, borax, river sand, putty, lime, glass, water pipes, linoleum, wood, planks, paint, etc. The quantity is not marked.

Some are general-purpose materials, which can be obtained by the masters who contract labor and materials, and some are in short supply, which needs to be solved by Xiao Du himself.

Tomorrow, Xiao Du is going to visit Director Jiang of the Security Department. There are two things to do. One is to confirm the time for reporting to work, and the other is to ask Director Jiang to help him find a team to repair the house.

Speaking of Jiang Dongfang in the security office, he has a deep relationship with Xiao Du's family. Jiang Dongfang has always been Comrade Du's superior during the war. They are all Comrade Lao Du's superiors, and the life-threatening friendship is not just once or twice.

Director Jiang is 47 years old this year. One son and two daughters are both in the army and both have married families, and they are not around.

He has always regarded Du Weiguo as his youngest son in his heart, he is very close and even spoiled, especially after Lao Du left.

No, Comrade Xiao Du has changed jobs and returned for more than 10 days. He hasn't reported to the security department yet, and Director Jiang didn't urge him.

After putting away the sketches of the house he drew, Comrade Xiao Du changed into a new outfit, and he was going to follow Lou Xiaoe to find out her home address later.

He changed into his old military trousers, yellow rubber shoes, military shoulders, and specially wore a military cap to hide his handsome face. This outfit is especially common on the road.

After tidying up, Xu Damao happened to send Lou Xiao'e out. Originally, the grandson licked his face and said that he wanted to send Lou Xiao'e home, but he was rejected.

Xu Damao has been sent out of the Guangliang gate, and he can walk 50 meters before he reluctantly walks home.

At this time, Comrade Xiao Du also happened to stroll over and met him head-on.

"Officer Xiao Du, where are you going?"

"Brother Mao, I'll take a plate of mosquito coils when I'm out and about after dinner. The mosquitoes in Sijiu City are simply too vicious."

"Hahaha, no, four mosquitoes are enough for a dish!"

"Brother Mao, seeing how proud you are, the blind date went well?"

"It's okay, the girl is quite satisfied with me."

"Congratulations Brother Mao, then I'll be waiting to drink your wedding wine."

"Haha, thank you for your good words."

After bidding farewell to Xu Damao, Comrade Xiao Du kissed Lou Xiao'e neither far nor near.

She had already separated from Aunt Huang at this time, walking alone with her head bowed, she couldn't seem to be in a particularly high mood, it was not yet 7 o'clock, and the day was long in midsummer, so it would be considered bright.

There is no dramatic plot. Comrade Xiao Du is equivalent to sending Lou Xiaoe home from a distance. It is 15 to 30 minutes walking distance from the courtyard. 15 minutes is Xiao Du's speed, and 30 minutes is Lou Xiaoe's speed.

After confirming the address of the house number, it was already getting dark at this time, and Comrade Xiao Du leisurely went to the Pigeon Market at Qianmen.

During this period, personal business transactions are strictly prohibited, and they are all speculative.

But the common people do have real needs and are forced by life.

Therefore, a special pigeon market has been formed, everyone gets what they need, and the government (government) just keeps their eyes open and closes their eyes, leaving a hole and usually not too strict management.

Normally, the Pigeon Market is the busiest at 4 or 5 o'clock in the middle of the night. In summer, there can be a burst from 8 to 9 o'clock in the evening, because most yards lock their gates at 9:[-] o'clock.

Those who are still running around in the street late at night, or visiting the Pigeon Market, will basically be fine once they are caught.

How about the pigeon market in Sijiu City, from old shoes and old clothes, rice stick noodles, daily necessities, foreign goods and trophies, to large and small yellow croakers, antiques, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, the good and the bad are mixed, but it is also full of wonders, It's all inclusive.

Many seniors who traveled to this era made their fortunes in Pigeon City, or bought and sold antiques at the price of carrots, or wholesaled grain, meat and eggs.

Comrade Xiao Du can only express envy.

Comrade Xiao Du has neither the ability to identify antiques, nor has anything to sell, nor does he have the mentality and ability to hunt for treasures. He simply wants to see the pigeon market and buy two coils of mosquito coils by the way.

Of course, if there is such a rare thing as canned beef, canned pork, and compressed biscuits, Xiao Du will definitely not feel bad about money. As for rice, white flour, eggs, etc., he will not buy them now.

Because there is no need for it for the time being, there is no need to save it.

The main reason is that it is still eye-catching to attract thieves at home, and then Xiaodu only has 1 cubic meter of portable space, what can it hold, and it will bring tears.

If you say that Pigeon City is indeed hiding dragons and crouching tigers, hiding filth, these two completely different temperaments are actually perfectly combined.

With Xiao Du's vision and knowledge, there are obviously people with guys selling some scarce supplies in Pigeon City, such as canned beef, and even various tickets. These are all supplies with fixed channels. The origin of the characters can be imagined.

In addition, there are snakes, insects, mice, ants, Buddha, patting flowers, half-closed doors, fortune-telling, Qianmen, etc. These low-level people are also mixed in the pigeon market.

It’s not that long of a street, less than 300 meters long, plus a few small alleys, Comrade Xiao Du has a total of 12 yuan in his trouser pocket, bought 4 coils of mosquito coils, and a mosquito coil burner. What antiquities, looking at the canned beef, I was more tempted and bought 2 boxes.

1 yuan and 6 boxes, one box is only 460 grams, the price is very expensive, but beef is indeed too rare, Xiao Du still bought 2 boxes, did not dare to buy more, it was too eye-catching.

But Comrade Xiao Du is a tall man, strong and capable, he looks like he was born in the army, and he is not a fat sheep because he is not rich, so these snakes, insects, rats and ants will not be provoked by him, and they will live in peace. .

Xiao Du was also happy to stop, and today can be regarded as a small gain.

When buying canned beef, the seller saw at a glance that he was a soldier. They had a natural liking for him, and they met each other. The seller’s surname is Niu. After talking about it, he wanted to buy some canned biscuits, so he went directly to Brother Niu, Xiao Du see what he means.

After a few more contacts in the future, you can buy some canned compressed biscuits as a spare, and forget about the others.

After returning from Pigeon City, Xiao Du changed his route several times to make sure no one was following him, so he went back to the courtyard with peace of mind.

I was really careless today, very reckless, I just showed my true face, and I will have to change clothes in the future.
