Siheyuan: Why is my crossing so ugly?

Chapter 7 Giving gifts to repair the house

Coming out of the restaurant, Comrade Xiao Du smoked a cigarette beautifully.

A cigarette after a meal is better than a living god.

I went to the post office in Dongzhimen by riding the [-]th pole, but I didn't have any business to do, and I didn't buy rare stamps that maintain and increase the value, so I didn't understand these things at all.

The main thing is to send letters, eat and drink casually, and not send letters at the door of the house, so I should be as cautious as possible.

The letter was a report letter. There were three letters in total. One was sent to the street office where Mao Mao Hutong belonged, one was sent to the security office of the rolling mill, and one was sent to the personnel department of the Red Star Rolling Mill.

It was all written by Du Weiguo this morning when he took time off from his treasure hunt.

I changed the font on purpose and wrote it stroke by stroke.

Although the words are ugly, the content is very informative.

Reporting Yi Zhonghai, a level 2 fitter in the 8nd workshop of the steel rolling mill, used his power to coerce the apprentice Qin Huairu, and in the name of relief, repeatedly coerced Qin Huairu into committing misdeeds. Of course, he must be anonymous.

If it's just one letter, it can often be suppressed, but it's in triplicate, and it's still from different departments of responsibility and authority.

As long as there is an investigation by any department, Yi Zhonghai will die, and immediately die socially, and his reputation will be directly shattered.

Moreover, Du Weiguo is a dark-bellied person who will come to future generations. If he can't do it once, then let's continue to come. We must let the part with credibility intervene and open the investigation. It will be very troublesome later.

After posting the letter, Comrade Xiao Du bought two large plants and two peonies at the supply and marketing cooperative near the post office.

Zhonghua needs special (for) cigarette tickets. Comrade Du saved a few before, but Comrade Xiao Du doesn’t need them now, so he will keep them for now.

As for the economy brand cigarettes that cost 6 cents a pack, they can’t be smoked. They are really loud, and they are about the same as dry tobacco. The cigarettes of this era basically don’t have filters, and each one is stronger than the other.

To buy cigarettes, a pack of large-scale production is 2 cents and 4. Comrade Xiao Du smokes it himself. Peony is 3 cents and 8 cents per pack, and you need a cigarette ticket. This is for gift giving. What are you doing as a gift?
Looking for someone to repair the house, in my memory, before Comrade Du Weiguo joined the army, he had two friends who played well together, Fa Xiao Tiec, went to elementary school and junior high school together, and were basically inseparable all the time.

Even after Xiao Du became a soldier, he always kept in touch with each other. When Lao Du had an accident, the two little brothers were always by Xiao Du's side.

One of them is Yu Huaihai, graduated from high school, and now works in a grain store. He is a clerk, a 24th-level administrative cadre, and has a real authority in the material bureau at home. A younger sister is in high school.

The other is Xiangbei, who also graduated from high school. He still failed to pass the make-up exam for a year. He is now working in the sub-district office. Level 7 Clerk.

Comrade Xiao Du wants to repair the house, who does he need?
First of all, in this era, most of the real estate is publicly owned. For example, the two and a half East Wing rooms where Du Weiguo lives now are owned by the public.

Even though three generations have lived from grandfather, to parents, to Du Weiguo, the real estate is still owned by the state. If the job is transferred and the area is left, the real estate will be taken back and then redistributed.

Therefore, if you want to repair a house, you must first greet the people in the street office. You can't repair it just as you say. Of course, it will be fine if you make small troubles.

Today Du Weiguo came to look for Xiangbei. Their chief's surname is Zou. Today, we will meet and give two cigarettes to talk about the matter. When the house is being repaired, we will invite the chief to have a meal.

Originally repairing the house was something that complied with the rules, and it was enough to just say hello, but the purpose of giving the gift was to show respect, and Xiao Du was going to have a major repair, but it was actually a bit over the top.

The old house in the courtyard house is easy to talk about, even leaking wind and rain, cold spots and hot spots, and coal stove heating can be tolerated, but Du Weiguo really can't bear it when it comes to going to the toilet.

The public toilets in the alleys are cleaned once every half a month in summer, once a month in winter, and once more than two months during Chinese New Year.

To put it bluntly, the quality of the residents in the hutongs is really mixed, and they are basically used to defecating anywhere.

Therefore, there is basically no place to stay in the public toilets in the alleys. Coupled with the double attack of vision and smell, it is really unbearable for Comrade Xiao Du, a child of later generations who has lived in a building since he can remember.

Du Weiguo has been to the public toilets in the alley once since he was reborn and lived in a courtyard house. After that, he went to the steel mill to go to the toilet every day. It took nearly 20 minutes to go back and forth. He basically didn’t drink water at night. The public toilets in the factory were cleaned every day. , is much cleaner.

Therefore, when Du Weiguo repairs the house, he must repair the toilet. Xiao Du has already investigated it, and the courtyard has a sewer, so this is feasible.

It would be a little overstepping to repair the pipeline, so today Du Weiguo came to the sub-district office to find someone to give gifts to.

As for another problem, some scarce materials needed to repair the house, such as cement, quartz stone, borax, lime, putty, paint, water pipes and even built-in locks.

Comrade Xiao Du is going to make a list and throw it directly to Yu Huaihai, and let him calculate how much money it will be.

In the afternoon, after Du Weiguo found Xiangbei, he met with Section Chief Zou and explained the situation. Section Chief Zou had an impression of Comrade Xiao Du because he met him once when he was going through the formalities of leaving the army and changing jobs.

Xiao Du explained the situation very politely. The house has been almost unoccupied for 6 years, and it has not been repaired and is about to collapse.

In order to repair the toilet, he did not hesitate to pollute himself. He said that he fell into a latrine when he was a child. Although it was winter, there was a shadow from then on. Now going to the public toilet is like being tortured.

This made Section Chief Zou laugh out loud, and promised that there would be no problem with this matter, as long as Xiao Du could handle the pipeline by himself.

Du Weiguo naturally agreed, and invited Section Chief Zou to inspect the house in a few days before repairing the house, and then went to the Red Star Restaurant for dinner together.

Before leaving, Comrade Xiao Du naturally forgot the two peonies in Section Chief Zou's office, um, very silky.

For such a small matter, the section chief accepted a big gift and agreed to have dinner together. Xiao Du has a foothold, and he is still a cadre. This shows that Section Chief Zou regards Du Weiguo as one of his own. This is regarded as accepting you Favors, we can have a long relationship in the future.

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

Coming out of the sub-district office, Xiang Bei also followed. The two lit a cigarette at the door, "Master Du, what's wrong? Are you going to tidy up the house and marry a wife?"

"Fuck off, where is the daughter-in-law? I only came back after serving in the army for 6 years. Many of my former female classmates have become mothers."

"Hahaha, Yu Huaihai's younger sister Yu Moli is pretty good, but that girl is a prickly person, not easy to mess with."

"A little yellow-haired girl, what do you think?"

"What a yellow-haired girl, you haven't seen each other for six years. She is 6 years old this year, and she will be in her third year of high school when school starts soon. Women's colleges have changed at eighteen, and now Jasmine is blooming. She is the school belle of Shiba Middle School."

"Well then, why don't you pursue it?"

"Chasing farts, this girl has high eyesight, she doesn't even like college students, I have no role to play."

"Okay, don't talk about these silly things, we will get together this weekend, I will go to Huaihai tonight, I will fix the house right away, and I will live with him for a while."

"Okay, then gather at your house on weekends."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

Turning over and riding on the [-]th, Comrade Xiao Du walked towards the courtyard in a relaxed and happy manner.
