Siheyuan: Start with a big car

The old man raised his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at Yang Xueli for a moment, a deep light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"Okay."

He reached out and took out a piece of mud from the stained wooden box. His seemingly clumsy fingers were exceptionally flexible, pulling, pulling, pinching, kneading, and rubbing just right, without the slightest deviation.

In just a moment, a little clay figurine that coolly shaped Yang Xueli appeared in the hands of the old man. The little clay figurine held a book in one hand and a big knife in the other, with a mighty and heroic look.

Yang Xueli's eyes widened involuntarily. This is no longer a street gadget, but a work of art.

"This"

"How about it, girl, are you satisfied? Do you need me to make some adjustments?" The old man put the little clay figurine on the wooden box and wiped his hands. Works though.

"No, no, this is perfect enough." Yang Xueli took out ten yuan from her pocket and handed it to the old man.

The old man put down the tattered towel, and looked at the big unity indifferently: "The ticket is too big, and there is not so much change."

"You don't need to look for it." Yang Xueli straightened her body, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

In Hong Kong City, this small clay figurine, which is enough to be called a work of art, costs at least [-] Hong Kong dollars. Also, the old man is so old, and he is still braving the cold wind, working hard on the street. Life must be difficult. If you can help help a little.

The old man raised his head this time, looked at Yang Xueli, hung the towel on the nail on the side of the wooden box, and said with a serious expression: "There is not so much change."

"I said, no need."

Seeing that the old man didn't seem to understand, Yang Xueli continued to explain in her Beijing dialect mixed with Hong Kong flavor.

Li Weidong took out fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to the old man: "Old comrade, thank you."

Only then did the old man's expression soften, he stood up and took the money, and nodded at Li Weidong: "Serving the people is not hard."

"Hey, you old comrade."

"Comrade Yang, let's go, let's go shopping."

It was the first time for Yang Xueli to see such a stupid person, her stubborn temper immediately came up, she stomped her feet and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Weidong.

Following behind Li Weidong, Yang Xueli looked at the passers-by who were wearing blue and black overalls and looked thin, but full of unique spirit, and seemed to realize something.

She caught up with Li Weidong in small steps and walked forward side by side with him.

"Did I go too far just now?"

"Not really, you are from the Hong Kong city after all, and you haven't adapted to the mainland environment for a while." Li Weidong turned his head to look at Yang Xueli, then raised his head to look at the golden clouds in the sky rendered by the sun, and said in a deep voice: "In In Hong Kong City, people are busy for money. Everything can be bought with money, status, prestige, and even health. But here, the role of money is far less than you imagine. People work hard and struggle hard. , not for oneself, but to build a better motherland.

You paid so much more just now, maybe out of good intentions, but in the eyes of the old man, you are insulting his personality with money. "

".I'll pay attention to it in the future."

In the following time, Yang Xueli learned her lesson and never took money out of her pocket as before.

Because in her pocket, there is only great unity
"Comrade, buy two Cuban candies."

"Comrade, here is a little sugar man."

"Comrade."

In just a moment, Li Weidong spent 8 cents, which really annoyed him.

What about eating soft rice?
Three generations of poor people have been robbed by capitalists, what is this called!

Yang Xueli didn't seem to realize this, she had a sugar figurine in her left hand and a snack in her right hand, eating happily.

the other side.

Aunt Yi left the deaf old lady's house and hurried to the police station.

Through the relationship of the deaf old lady, he entered the detention room and met Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

In less than half a day, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong seemed to have aged several years.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes were swollen, his lips were chapped, his bangs were no longer in the same spirit as before, and his gray hair stuck to his scalp.

Seeing Aunt Yi, Yi Zhonghai hurried forward to hold her hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Old lady, are you here to save me?"

Aunt Yi suppressed the sadness in her heart and said: "I have to wait, I went to find the deaf old lady."

She told the arrangement of the deaf old lady.

When he heard that he needed to lose money, Yi Zhonghai turned cold: "I never met Li Weidong at all, he is a blackmailer!"

Liu Haizhong also pointed to his head and said, "Look, I have been beaten up like this by Li Weidong, if he is not allowed to lose money, it will be regarded as a high incense for him."

Aunt Yi shook her head helplessly: "Who told you to go first? I heard from Xiao Zhang just now that Li Weidong was acting in self-defense, and you were beating him maliciously. You might have to squat for three or four years."

Xiao Zhang is a friend of the deaf old lady's relative.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were scared when they heard that they were going to squat on the fence.

After just a short while, they almost couldn't survive. If they stayed in the fence for three or four years, would they still survive?
Yi Zhonghai sighed and nodded, "Now I can only listen to the deaf old lady. I hope that kid Li Weidong won't go too far, otherwise I won't be able to spare him after I go out."

Liu Haizhong grabbed Aunt Yi's hand and said, "Tell my wife, my passbook is hidden under the box, and the password is Guangqi's birthday. Tell her not to be reluctant to spend money."

Aunt Yi: "."

At 05:30 in the afternoon, Li Weidong drove his jeep back to the rolling mill despite Yang Xueli's objection.

The capitalists want our workers to work overtime, but there is no way!
On the way home, thinking that I haven't eaten any meat recently, I turned to the vegetable market and planned to buy some meat.

It turned out that the pork in the market had been sold out.

Thinking about it, in this era, materials are scarce and the supply of pork is insufficient. Not to mention that he is here in the evening, even if he comes at noon, he may not be able to buy meat.

If you want to buy meat, it is best to queue up early in the morning.

There was no pork, and after walking around, Li Weidong found a lot of mutton hanging on the meat rack in the butcher shop.

The fresh and tender mutton exudes a bright red color in the sun. Li Weidong's throat trembles when he thinks of the mutton hot pot he ate in his previous life.

He parked his bicycle, strode over, and asked the middle-aged man in a felt hat.

"Comrade Boss, what's the price of mutton?"

When a customer came, the middle-aged uncle did not get up, and said lightly with a cigarette in his mouth: "6 cents a catty, and a catty of meat tickets."

I want meat tickets, no wonder mutton is not easy to sell.

People in this era lack oil and water, and the fatter the meat, the more popular it is.

The smell of mutton is relatively strong, and the fat is relatively small.

Generally, people can only issue two taels of meat tickets every month, and they have to save them to buy fat, and they will never waste it on mutton.

Li Weidong is now the director of the workshop, and he has a special meat ticket subsidy every month, plus Yu Fatty can get meat at any time.

Don't care about this meat ticket.

"Give me three catties of mutton."

"Three catties? Are you sure?" Comrade Boss was a little surprised. He had never seen someone buy three catties of mutton at once.

"Sure, you cut it."

Seeing Li Weidong take out a handful of meat tickets from his pocket, Comrade Boss couldn't sit still anymore, put out the cigarette butt on the sole of his shoe, stood up and picked up the gleaming butcher's knife.

The light of the knife flashed, and a piece of fat and thin mutton appeared in his hand.

Comrade Boss hung the mutton on the scale hook and said with a smile, "Three catties, it's tall."

It seemed that he was afraid that Li Weidong would go back on his word, so Comrade Boss wrapped the mutton in newspaper and handed it over.

"You have it."

Li Weidong handed the boss comrade one yuan and eighty cents and three meat tickets of 1 catty, and took the mutton over.

Mutton hot pot, only mutton is not enough.

Li Weidong walked around the vegetable market and bought another Chinese cabbage, a catty of coriander, a piece of tofu, and a handful of peppers.

What makes him regret is that there is no finished hot pot base for sale in this era, so he can only configure it by himself.

Then I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some seasonings.

The winter sun dies earlier, before six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky is already dark.

Li Weidong rode his bicycle and returned to the courtyard. Just as he sat down, before he picked up his teacup, Qin Huairu came to the door.

At this time, Yu Li hadn't got off work yet, and there were people coming and going in the compound. In order to avoid suspicion, Li Weidong didn't let Qin Huairu into the house.

"Master, what's going on today?"

Seeing Li Weidong blocking the door, Qin Huairu felt a little disappointed even though she understood his concerns.

She knew that her relationship with Li Weidong was intolerable to the world, and she would never be able to reveal it to the sun. It was indeed more exciting to be sneaky, but what woman wouldn't want to be able to get together with her man in an open and honest manner?

Qin Huairu knew Li Weidong's temperament well, and didn't dare to deliberately act out of line like in the past, so he could only give him a coquettish look, straightened his clothes, and put on a serious look.

"Comrade Li Weidong, I heard that Comrade Yi Zhonghai and Comrade Liu Haizhong were sent to the fence by you?"

"There is such a thing." Li Weidong frowned, turned his head and glanced at the deaf old lady's house opposite.

The deaf old lady was lying on the window staring at Li Weidong. Seeing Li Weidong suddenly looked over, her calf trembled in fright, the chair under her feet was shaking, and she almost fell to the ground.

In the end, she held on to the wall so as not to fall, but she didn't dare to peek any more, she sat on the bed with her hands on her heart, and it took a long time to recover.

"How did this little bastard find me?"

The deaf old lady is a descendant of a high official from the Tartars. She has lived in the capital for many years. She could not speak the Northeast dialect at first, but she learned it only after being scolded by Han Zhizhi a few times.

After learning it, I often hid in the house and cursed others secretly.

Of course Li Weidong didn't know that the deaf old lady was peeking.

He just felt that Qin Huairu came to the door, and there seemed to be the shadow of a deaf old lady behind him, so he took a casual look.

Unexpectedly, the deaf old lady almost fell to her death.

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, "Aunt Yi and Aunt Liu came to see me today, and I want you to stop pursuing Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong."

Can you get out of the police station if you don't pursue them?It seems that the deaf old lady is quite capable.

After traveling to this world, Li Weidong didn't deal with the deaf old lady many times, and most of his understanding of the deaf old lady came from the original work.

However, the identity of the deaf old lady in the original work is also vague and full of contradictions.

Yi Zhonghai once introduced the deaf old lady to the residents of the compound as a household with five guarantees.

According to the definition of five-guarantee households in the "National Agricultural Development Program from 1956 to 1967", agricultural cooperatives should make a unified plan to provide appropriate care in daily life for widowed and lonely members who lack labor force and have no support in life, so as to guarantee food, Guaranteed clothing, burning (fuel), education (children and teenagers), and burial, so that they can rely on life, death and burial. "Eating, clothing, burning, teaching, and burial. These five guarantees are referred to as "five guarantees", and the families enjoying the "five guarantees" are called "five guarantee households".

The deaf old lady is from the capital city, and she once sold food stamps, which shows that she has food, and she is not a five-guarantee household at all.

The deaf old lady once claimed that she had woven straw sandals for the army.

But when the army was thousands of miles away from the capital, how did the straw sandals get there?

What about Shunfeng Express?

It can be seen that the true face of the deaf old lady is hidden in a cloud of fog, which was not revealed in the original work.

In the courtyard, both Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong had become bereaved dogs, so they were nothing to be afraid of. The only thing to pay attention to was the deaf old lady.

From the analysis of Qin Huairu's words, the deaf old lady must have used her hidden relationship to persuade the comrades at the police station to show mercy to Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhongwang.

However, Li Weidong was not injured this time. Even if Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were killed in one bite, they would be released soon after they were imprisoned in the fence.

Not as good.
Seeing the change of expression on Li Weidong's face, Qin Huairu bit his lips, and continued: "I know that Lao Yi and Lao Liu have gone too far this time, and they are not wronged at all when they were arrested, but I just became a Uncle, two residents of the courtyard were arrested, and I will definitely not be able to vote for the first gentleman of the advanced courtyard on the street."

"Just help me this time, don't worry, I will make it up to you."

While talking, Qin Huairu blinked at Li Weidong.

"Compensation?" Li Weidong's heart moved, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

As a qualified driver, he always enjoys driving the truck on back roads.

However, some small roads really couldn't stand the crushing of heavy trucks. Every time the truck got off the road, the weak roads were cracked, and Li Weidong could only return disappointed.

Qin Huairu caught a glimpse of the weird smile on Li Weidong's face, and immediately understood what this man needed.

Gritting her teeth, she said, "Okay, as long as you agree to my sister, I will endure the pain this time and make your wish come true."

There is no material reward for the master of the excellent compound, but only a certificate of merit.

This may not matter to others, but Qin Huairu attaches great importance to it.

This is the first time in her life that she has been commended, and it is an affirmation of her personality and work.

If you want to get something, you have to give something.

Qin Huairu is well versed in this path.

Seeing the worry on Qin Huairu's face, Li Weidong felt a little distressed, and said with a smile: "Oh, don't worry, as long as you prepare the tools, it won't hurt. I remember you have acquaintances in the hospital, so go buy some nitroglycerin tomorrow. "

"Really?" Qin Huairu's eyes widened.
