Siheyuan: Why is my crossing so ugly?

Chapter 20

"I didn't, they wronged me."

"Well, I believe you. A man like you will not deny his mistakes. What kind of soldier are you?"

Comrade Xiao Du heard Bart talk about the army. Bart is a fifth-year soldier, a heavy machine gunner, and he can charge forward with a heavy machine gun alone. He is fiercer than an ox.

During cross-country training, he was injured by a bullet box and couldn't train normally for a while, so he went to the logistics cooking team to help the cook, but he caught up with the chief of staff to check the logistics and found that two boxes of canned beef were missing.

Bart was charged with stealing on the grounds that he had a big appetite and couldn't get enough to eat every day.

The warehouse custodial officer is a follower, and it was so naive to frame him, but the end result was that Bart was fired.

This is because the company commander knew that he was wronged and spoke up for him, otherwise Bart would have to go to jail.

When he was a soldier, his mother died of illness. When he returned home, he had nothing but a dilapidated shanty. Follow Yin Lao Liu to do part-time jobs to make a living.

Fortunately, when Yin Lao Liu was young, he was favored by Bai Bart's father, so he helped him to work with him. The year before last, he helped Bai Bart marry a widow, and the widow took a little girl with him.

Last year, Bart's own child was born. Life was already tight, but now that there are more people, life is really difficult. Bart now has one meal a day, two cornbreads, and drinks cold water when he is hungry.

When Bart first came back from the army, he weighed 178 catties, a serious and strong man, but now he only weighs 143 catties, and lost 35 catties due to starvation.

After listening to Bart's story, Xiao Du asked Yin Lao Liu.

"Master Yin, if I ask you to work this time, is the meal fee enough?"

"It's definitely enough. Thirty cents a meal is enough to meet the New Year every day."

"Okay, Master Yin, then let Bart eat a few more days."

"Nothing."

Comrade Xiao Du could actually see that even though he ate seven steamed buns and three bowls of porridge for a meal, Bart was not completely full.

But I can't feed him any more. It's not that Xiao Du cares about money. He has been hungry for too long, and if he eats too much all of a sudden, he will die. Even if Bart is extremely talented, Xiao Du doesn't dare to bet.

Leading the big guys to the courtyard, Yin Laoliu led the men to clean up first.

Xiao Du made a special trip to the sub-district office, met with Section Chief Zou, and briefly explained the situation. It rained and the house collapsed, and it will officially be rebuilt today.

Section Chief Zou showed some face, and even visited the courtyard in person, which was considered to be a support for Xiao Du.

When Comrade Xiao Du built a house, the section chief of the sub-district office had to personally intervene, and the poultry in the courtyard had to weigh the weight contained in it.

Then Xiao Du went to the Sanliang Store again and told Yu Huaihai that the house had collapsed and the cement would be in place tomorrow.

Yu Huaihai sneered: "80 yuan, there are too many things, I can't afford it."

Xiao Du directly ordered 100 for him, "Don't make things difficult for my uncle, just accept favors yourself."

Yu Huaihai is not hypocritical. The market value of these things is at least 120, and 80 yuan is all internal prices. His father must be using favors. 20 yuan can buy a few good cigarettes, and favors are basically enough.

"I'll go to see my dad in the afternoon. As I said before, I'll send you to the hospital tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then I'm leaving, give me the keys to the house, I'll move things, clean up at night and wait for me."

"Hurry up and get the hell out!"

Under the hot gaze of a group of aunts and girls in the Sanliangdian, Comrade Xiao Du walked out with some guilt, thinking to himself, why are the old ladies in the grain store so sharp-eyed?

In the future, I will come to this place less often, it's scary.

Yu Huaihai was also complaining in his heart: Damn, these women in the Liangdian just forgot about Du Weiguo, and this grandson appeared again, did you come here on purpose to steal the limelight from my handsome Sanliangdian?

I found a master, went back to the courtyard, and asked Yin Laoliu and the others to help move everything to Yu Huaihai's house, and put it in the room where his parents used to live.

There are not many things, just some clothes, bedding, photos, books, radio, pots and pans.

Secretary Du entrusted Carpenter Cui to handle all the furniture. Carpenter Cui also knew what the new furniture designed by Xiao Du would look like. All these old furniture were packaged and sold directly.

He is an old carpenter for many years, so he naturally knows someone who specializes in dumping second-hand furniture, and the price is relatively good. Two sets of old furniture for a two-and-a-half-bedroom house were sold for a total of 22 yuan.

This is also Comrade Xiao Du's first income since his rebirth, which is really embarrassing.

At noon, Yin Lao Liu's daughter-in-law brought the girl over to deliver meals, Erhe noodles steamed buns, 73 ratios, cabbage tofu stewed vermicelli, three big steamed buns for each person, and five Butters.

The food looks good, the stew is oily, and the seasoning is enough.

Yin Laoliu's girl is 17 years old, she didn't pass the high school entrance examination, and now she is unemployed to help the family with her work. She looks average, but her name is Yin Susu.

I'm still Yang Xiao.

After a whole day of tossing around, the house was finally basically cleared out. When he was off work, Du Weiguo delivered some fruit candies from door to door. Those who had men in the house even gave out cigarettes. He politely said that the house repairs at home recently caused trouble for the big guys. up.

The second uncle and the third uncle all gave a box of big production directly, and so did the first uncle, after all, it is decent to save face.

Everyone praised me without saying a word, it is still Xiaodu who can handle things and has a level.

My own house collapsed, and the big guys were given sugar and smoke for rebuilding, and they were polite. If this was the old Jia's house, they would probably have to call on the compound to raise donations.

The next day, blue bricks, wood, wood, cement, glass, pipes, quartz stone, borax, linoleum, putty, lime, paint, and various building materials were shipped over, and Yin Laoliu and the others officially started construction .

After all the things were ready, Xiao Du and Yin Laoliu discussed the daily working time, which would start after the people in the compound went to work and finish after get off work.

Don't get in the way of building materials, such as cement, glass, pipes, quartz stone, borax, lime, putty, paint and other rare materials are received in the original ear room at night.

If the hardware and fittings are not used that day, they should be taken home. If they are stolen, it will be very troublesome. These things are not expensive, but they are very scarce and difficult to deal with.

Xiaodu told Yin Laoliu that I would go to work from the day after tomorrow, and I would come back in the afternoon if I had something to do tomorrow, and I would come back from get off work every day to have a look, and if I had anything to do, I would come to the south gate of the rolling mill to find me.

Yin Lao Liu naturally agreed.

Yes, it’s really a bit of a problem. Tomorrow is the weekend. Comrade Xiao Du is going to go to work directly the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow he will go to the city library to apply for a library card. Libraries in this era are really full of treasures what.

There are even many books that have since become extinct.

Tomorrow he will go to Yu Huaihai's house. After all, he has helped him so much. Although it is a small iron magnet, Comrade Xiaodu thinks that he should be polite.

The rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, the rivers and lakes are about the ways of the world.
