The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

A new day, a new beginning.

Ouyang Yi, with his arms under his head, opened his eyes and his gaze was fixed on the ceiling above his head.

The staff dormitories were a little empty after the group of people in Shanghai were allocated housing, but some veterans still lived here.

"Um, Ouyang, I'm going to go wash up first. Should I bring you food later?"

The young man on the bed next to him had already gotten up and was sitting on the edge of the bed, putting on his big cotton shoes, and not forgetting to ask about his new roommate.

"My name is Ouyang Yi~!"

Ouyang Yi fluttered and sat up from the bed. His reaction was a bit too big and almost scared his roommate.

"Isn't it all the same~!"

Picking up the towel and enamel carp basin from the washbasin rack, the young man looked like Jiang Defu, not very educated and not knowing the difference between a single surname and a double surname. The bright smile on his face made Ouyang too lazy to explain.

The door opened and closed again, but cold air still came into the room. Ouyang, wrapped in a quilt, lay down lazily again. The dust that was stirred up was clearly visible in the sunlight.

As soon as the young man went to the bathroom, his brother-in-law came hurriedly over, bringing not only a washbasin, towel and other toiletries, but also money and various tickets.

"This is the food coupon. This is the canteen's food coupon. I got twenty yuan from Anjie. You can use it first. This is a temporary ID. Don't go out recently. You can live here first. The workplace is at the woodworking workshop. I'll take you there later~!"

Jiang Defu finally had the confidence to go home. He looked at Ouyang lying dead, but said nothing. He placed the things on the table next to the bed and gave Ouyang some instructions.

Ouyang looked weakly at the things his brother-in-law had brought him, and did not say thank you. Instead, he looked at the factory uniform he had received on the table, staring at it intently. It had been a long time since he had gone to work since he returned to Qing D, and he was a little uncomfortable with suddenly having a job.

"I can't get out. It's like being in prison~!"

Ouyang muttered to himself but still got up. Not only were they given factory uniforms, but they also included cotton clothes and other things. It can be said that the treatment of the workers in this factory was indeed good. Even though Ouyang looked down on it, he also knew that cloth coupons and cotton were difficult to get nowadays.

"That's better than staying at someone else's place. At least I'm still here, right~!"

"By the way, the one with you is Li Xuewen's younger brother. He's also there, but he got hurt on the battlefield, so it might not be a good place for him. Since we're together, we're colleagues, so we need to maintain a good relationship~!"

Pointing to the head, to be honest, more people in the factory know Li Xuewu than Li Xuewen. Just based on the scar on his head, he is a celebrity wherever he goes. Just based on this feature, everyone knows him.

Seeing that Ouyang Yi was no longer stubborn and seemed to have thought it through, Jiang Defu glanced at the bed next to him. To be honest, he was just pretending to be watching him. He knew that Ouyang Yi could not possibly be a spy.

"War, injured. How old is his brother? Could it be that he was in the southwest two years ago?"

While putting on his clothes, Ouyang Yi was reading the newspaper in Qing D. The only thing he could think of was the "actual combat military exercise" two years ago.

"Yes, he said he couldn't remember the past and there's a scar on his forehead. You'll know if you see him~!"

When he saw Li Xuewen's younger brother, Ouyang Yi finally understood why his brother-in-law said that he would know when he saw him. The "centipede" on his forehead looked like it was seriously injured.

Li Xuewu, who came down from upstairs, had a serious look on his face. He opened the door and stared at Ouyang Yi through the iron fence.

"Secretary Xiao Wu, I've brought this person to you. Please take care of him first. If he does anything wrong later, you can criticize him directly. Don't worry about my face~!"

Jiang Defu was so worried about his brother-in-law's affairs that he just stuffed two packs of cigarettes into his pocket as compensation for Ouyang being locked up for so long.

"You can't smoke here, you don't smoke, right?"

Li Xuewu was still as straightforward as ever. After opening the iron gate, he pushed the cigarette back directly. He did not ask Ouyang Yi's name, but asked him if he smoked.

"I don't smoke. My name is Ouyang Yi, and I'm also a classmate of your brother Li Xuewen~!"

Ouyang Yi looked at Li Xuewu, who was like a cold-faced judge. Fortunately, he had been reminded, so he took the initiative to extend his hand and introduce himself.

"I know, you come in, he can't come in without permission, come with me~!"

Li Xuewu's personality seemed to be cold to everyone. He didn't even shake hands, but waved to Ouyang Yi to come in, and then immediately closed the iron door, almost hitting the nose of Jiang Defu who wanted to follow in.

After turning around, the mature Li Xuewu went straight up the stairs. Outside the iron gate, Jiang Defu had no choice but to wink at Ouyang Yi, who was looking at him, and signaled him to hurry up. As for this bad attitude, no one would argue with someone who might have a problem with his brain.

Following closely, Ouyang Yi went up to the second floor of the laboratory. He originally thought that the iron door was for him, but after going up, he found that the iron door was actually used to protect against others.

"There are dangerous explosives here. If something goes wrong, half of the factory will be destroyed. I hope you can be responsible. Here is the manual I compiled. Take a look at it and remember it~!"

After taking the new colleague on a tour of the hazardous materials warehouse, Li Xuewu took out the safety manual and slapped it on Ouyang Yi's hand. Then, he silently counted the ammunition stock.

Looking at the shells that were opened in the box, Ouyang Yi swallowed subconsciously. As a chemical engineer, how could he not see how dangerous these things were?

Yes, Ouyang Yi, who was always elegant and at least gentlemanly, couldn't help cursing in his heart. His new job didn't seem safe at all.

"Do you know what these are?"

Seeing Ouyang Yi standing there in a daze and not going to the office with him, Li Xuewu turned around and looked at him with his head tilted.

"Cannonballs, cannonballs, they should contain inert explosives, trinitrotoluene, or TNT, which reacts strongly with alkali to form unstable compounds~!"

The subconscious answer is always so true. Ouyang, who feels that he has been betrayed by his brother-in-law, subconsciously wants to escape from here. What a deadly job! There are so many shells here. Once they explode, An Xin might not even be able to collect the bodies.

"Yeah, you know this~!"

Li Xuewu was a little surprised, but seemed to be able to accept it immediately. As a college student, according to common sense, he should understand these things.

"Well, I once prepared it in the lab and it irritated my skin and caused me dermatitis~!"

Ouyang Yi smiled awkwardly. It was because of his understanding that he knew how dangerous this place was.

"That's good. Our daily work is to count the ammunition, register the ammunition in and out of the warehouse, and do daily maintenance. Although, there is no need for maintenance now~!"

Taking Ouyang Yi to the office, Li Xuewu showed him the registration book and the inventory records. At least, he had to teach him how to do these daily work chores first.

"These are all fine, just like the warehouse manager, you are not, forget it~!"

This factory has a research institute. At least, when he entered the gate, Ouyang Yi noticed where it was. His brother-in-law worked in the research institute.

Even a rough guy like him could go in, but he, who had returned from studying abroad, could only come to look after the warehouse. To be honest, Lao Ou felt really bad about it.

But, it is at least a job, and once you have a job, you can't be picky. Jiang Defu, as his brother-in-law, can be said to have done his utmost in this regard.

"This position is special, but someone has to come. I'm a retired soldier with a head injury from a shell. I know how dangerous the things here are. You should know it too, so I won't remind you. People who shouldn't come in can't come in, and things that shouldn't go out can't go out. That's basically the two rules~!"

After saying this, Li Xuewu no longer planned to take Ouyang with him. He learned the thing as he went along.

Holding the safety manual and watching Li Xuewu busying himself with his own things, Ouyang Yi obediently walked to another wooden table, thinking that this would be his seat in the future.

It's next to the window, the light is good, you can lie down on the table, read until you get tired, and then you can have a good sleep.

For some reason, when Ouyang Yi saw his own desk, these were the first things he thought of.

In the past, the scenes of shaking glass test tubes and doing experiments wrapped tightly seemed far away from him in the future. Now, he was a warehouse keeper in a hazardous materials warehouse.

The noise downstairs was quite loud, like the sound of a machine operating repeatedly. And it was not just one machine. Downstairs, Ouyang noticed that most of the workers coming in and out were female.

Looking back, Li Xuewu, who was still wiping his gun, seemed like a man who had lost his emotional nerves. He could foresee the end of such days.

Under the window, Ouyang Yi did not see the end, but he saw a woman talking to his brother-in-law. It seemed that she was the female neighbor next door to Jiang Defu.

The safety manual is not as interesting as this peek into privacy. For the safety of Angie's marriage, I have to read it. It doesn't count as peeping.

Thinking this in his heart, Ouyang Yi stretched his neck a little, but the machine downstairs was too noisy, and he couldn't hear what the two people were saying at all. Old Ou was anxious and felt like he was being scratched by a cat's claws. (End of this chapter)
