Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 251 250 Abacus

On Monday, Tang Zhitong went to work normally.

Without the temporary workers, only four people from the lumber factory were left, and Tang Zhitong's work of making mung bean soup was reduced by more than half.

"Master Qiao, do you think it can be completed this week?" Tang Zhitong asked when Master Qiao came over to drink water.

"Almost, not much left to live." Master Qiao said after drinking the water, wiping his mouth.

"Okay, you've worked hard these days, Master Qiao. When it's finished, I'll go with you to the lumber factory to settle the bill." Tang Zhitong promised happily. This project has lasted for twenty days. He squatted in the sun every day and became black. Not to mention several shades, a layer of skin has fallen off.

"Master Tang is bright!" Master Qiao praised.

"You deserve the award. Master Qiao, I see there are a lot of scraps left. Can you make an calculation?" Tang Zhitong took out a cigarette and scattered one, and asked.

"The abacus is not big, but these tools are not enough. We have to use the equipment from the lumber factory. Do you use it yourself?" Master Qiao took the cigarette and asked.

"Yeah. Section Chief Fang asked me to be responsible for the accounts. It's inconvenient not to have an abacus." Tang Zhitong said frankly that Fangyuan's office has an abacus, but it belongs to him. Even if he doesn't use it, it's not appropriate for him to always borrow it.

"Isn't that for office use? I'll tell the lumber factory later and you can take it with you when it's finished." Master Qiao said tactfully.

"Thank you, Master Qiao. I'll pay for it myself. The other day, in exchange for some mung beans from the canteen to make soup, someone actually accused me of stealing pumpkins. Do you think I was wronged or not?" Tang Zhitong understood what Master Qiao meant. It was office work anyway. It doesn't cost much to use it, so it's covered in the cost of driving it. But it's precisely because there's not much money, and there's no need to do this kind of thing. The risks and benefits are not proportional.

"Master Tang is still thoughtful. Come on, stretch out your hand, I will measure the length and make an abacus that fits your hand." Master Qiao bowed his hands to Tang Zhitong and suggested thoughtfully.

"The relationship is good, please excuse me." Tang Zhitong obediently stretched out his hand and asked Master Qiao to measure the length. He also enjoyed VIP treatment, a customized version, tsk tsk.

After talking about the abacus, Tang Zhitong explained the layout design of the small room to Master Qiao. The house was a ready-made house with an unused office.

The Escort Department has just moved in, so there is no problem with building renovations. It can be easily tidied up and used to sweep away the cobwebs in the corners with a broom.

In fact, there is nothing special about carpentry. It is just that the tables and chairs should be made more carefully. Master Qiao promised very simply, and the work should be more compact, and it can be done in half a day.

An ordinary day passed. When Tang Zhitong got home from get off work, he took out a piece of suet from the space. It weighed about three pounds.

With Zhang Guifang's instructions and promise to Xiao Wang, this matter must be fulfilled as soon as possible.

Xiao Wang is a good boy who listens to his mother. He came back from get off work a little late today with a bulging bag slung across his body. It looked like he had gone to Chun Shu Hutong.

"Wenwen, let's not take it back. These two bags are enough to last for a long time." Tang Zhitong helped classmate Xiao Wang take off the satchel from his body and advised tactfully. He plundered things from his parents' house to subsidize his parents-in-law's family. He said that he would not go out. Nice to hear.

"My mother gave it to me. I won't make her unhappy if I don't take it." Wang Jingwen put the car away and pushed back her hair that was blown by the wind twice. Her clear voice was like an oriole in spring.

"Your little cotton-padded jacket is leaking air." Tang Zhitong scratched classmate Xiao Wang's nose and then touched her hair. The quality of her hair was really good, smooth, silky and not tangled.

"Hate it. Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't starve us? I believe you." At the gate, classmate Xiao Wang felt a little embarrassed and patted Tang Zhitong's restless hand and said.

"Okay, just trust me. Then take it back. I made a piece of suet today and will send it to my mother later. It's hot and I can't hold it." It felt good to be trusted by others. Tang Zhitong compromised and the air leakage was gone. Let the air leak, as long as you feel warm.

"Okay, I'll come back after dark, just in time to take it home." Xiao Wang happily agreed.

"I'll do it as you wish." Tang Zhitong was also happy. This time there were a lot of Yilaq dates. If he owed anything, he would replenish it later to his mother-in-law. The days were still long, so there was no need to rush this time.

After dinner, Tang Zhitong wrapped the suet several times in newspapers and put it in his satchel.

"There's nothing to bring at home. Let's bring some pickles to your mother." Zhang Guifang was a little embarrassed when she saw another package of Yilaq dates brought back by her daughter-in-law. She felt that her in-laws had given her too much, so she prepared some more. Ask your son to bring pickles and dried fruits with you.

"Thank you, Mom. My brother is craving for this bite. At home, we often say that our pickles are more delicious than those made by my mother." Wang Jingwen happily accepted it without rejecting it. With these few words, it made people feel happy after hearing it. .

"Just like it. If you drop by at work, bring some with you from time to time." Zhang Guifang felt happy after hearing this. It is rare for her in-laws and daughter-in-law to get along well with each other.

Tang Zhitong and Wang Jingwen took their things and went to Chunshu Hutong together.

"Brother Yuzi, do you still remember Qingqing?" Wang Jingwen asked coldly on the way to Chunshu Hutong.

"Qingqing? Du Yanqing?" Tang Zhitong asked after thinking for a moment. The two met once when they were getting married, and they were Wang Jingwen's close friends. "Yes, Qingqing has more than half a month to take the college entrance examination. I want to go and have a look." Wang Jingwen said.

"That's good, let's go. I'll tell my mother later and prepare two kilograms of eggs for you and some dried fruits to supplement before the exam." Tang Zhitong made the arrangements thoughtfully. He supported Wang Jingwen in doing this kind of thing. Yes, it has nothing to do with interests, only friendship.

Tang Zhitong gave Wan Xiangyang eggs before, with a somewhat investment mentality. Sijiu City is a city with a relatively large number of college students, but at present, the number only accounts for 4% of the total population. There is a bright future ahead.

"Hehe, that's what I meant. I'm embarrassed to mention it to my mother." Wang Jingwen smiled slyly and confessed her little thoughts to Tang Zhitong.

"It's okay. Besides eggs and dried fruits, what else do you want to bring? I'll figure it out." Tang Zhitong can understand what Xiao Wang is thinking. Now that there is a shortage of eggs, he even subsidizes his parents' family, so this time he has to send small favors. She couldn't open this mouth.

"These are enough." Wang Jingwen shook her head slightly and didn't want anything else. She knew in her heart that Qingqing's family did not lack these, it was just her own wish.

While they were talking, the two came to Chunshu Alley. The little flying insect crashed into the lamp at the door of the dormitory. It was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground. It was not knocked unconscious but it gathered the energy to charge again.

Tang Zhitong stopped the car and looked at the small flying insects on the ground. Some of them he could name, such as trespassers, and some he couldn't.

The red beetle, whose scientific name is scarab beetle, is also called "the red beetle" in some places. It can be eaten, but because it looks like a dung beetle, Tang Zhitong is not sensitive to this thing.

Regardless of whether you can be named or not, these bugs can be used to feed chickens!

The chicks hatched last time have grown up slowly, and the demand for chicken food has soared. Zhang Guifang is worried about this. It’s true that Tang Zhitong has some space, but he can’t afford to spend it without hesitation.

If you put on such a lamp at home, and then secretly put some outside, hey, it seems to make sense?

Tang Zhitong decided to try it after returning home!

"Brother-in-law, what's delicious?" Wang Jingmin had completely forgotten about crying and being afraid of insects yesterday. When he saw the bulging satchel, he immediately dropped the pencil in his hand and stepped forward to try it.

"Here's something fun for you, go pick some walnuts." Tang Zhitong took out the nutcrackers from his bag. He forgot to give them here after making them last time, so he took them with him this time.

"Pine nuts are delicious, I want to eat pine nuts." Wang Jingmin did not take the walnuts, but grabbed a handful of pine nuts himself, ran to the table and opened the shells with a nutcracker.

"Mom, I brought you a piece of suet." The suet was at the bottom of the satchel, and Tang Zhitong took it out at the end.

"Thank you. During special times, you must pay attention to safety." Ye Zhijuan did not ask where her son-in-law got the suet, but just asked Tang Zhitong to pay attention to safety.

"Don't worry, it's safe." Tang Zhitong nodded and promised. Ye Zhijuan said little, but showed the same concern as Wang Jingwen.

Ye Zhijuan nodded and said nothing more about what serious problems she would face in the coming years. She knew very clearly that if she didn't want to go hungry, she could only cross the sea and show off her magical powers.

"Second sister, can you eat pine nuts and chop them yourself? Can you not steal them from me?" Wang Jingmin's slightly aggrieved protest interrupted the conversation of the three. The two children did not pay attention to what their mother, sister and brother-in-law were talking about. The focus is all on food.

"Huh? Did I wrong you by eating a pine nut?" Wang Jingying put pine nuts into her mouth while exerting pressure on her younger brother.

"Sister..." Wang Jingmin turned to Wang Jingwen for help, but he suddenly remembered the last time his eldest sister ate the pine nuts he had finally peeled. Then he looked at Ye Zhijuan and chose to ask Tang Zhitong for help: "Brother-in-law..."

"Okay, let me pick it up for you." Facing the bloodline suppression, Tang Zhitong couldn't say anything, but chose to do odd jobs. Xiao Wang can treat his two sisters like this, and he should treat his brother-in-law and sister-in-law well. Know what you should do.

Tang Zhitong worked hard for a long time, which made the two children happy, one for you and one for him. The distribution was very even and there was no quarrel.

After dark, the young couple took most of the remaining sacks of Yilaq dates home. Without disturbing Zhang Guifang's rest, they directly placed the dates in the wing.

This stuff has a high sweetness and will not go bad even if it is stored in a high temperature environment in summer.

Simple scrubbing, focused cleaning, and the young couple settled down.

Xiao Wang is very satisfied with Tang Zhitong’s performance over the past two days.

The young couple are both good young people who are eager to learn and make progress. That night, the young couple discussed martial arts, one of the eighteen martial arts - stick technique.

Under the careless welcome of classmate Xiao Wang, Tang Zhitong's stick skills are so powerful that classmate Xiao Wang is fascinated...
