The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 92 Zhang Chenfei moves, the deaf old lady feels sad! !
  When Zhang Chenliang heard that he was asked to help purchase goods and weld, he readily agreed.

In his heart, he has always felt guilty about the separation of the family. He was satisfied to see his brother getting better and better.

Tang Danniu on the side closed her lips several times while listening to the brothers talking.

But due to the presence of the old lady, he did not dare to say anything.

Zhang Chenfei noticed the look in her eyes and told his elder brother: "I won't talk about the radio today. For every radio we weld next, I will give you two yuan."

Zhang Chenliang waved his hand quickly: "How can I ask for money to help my brother? Brother, you are not slapping me in the face. I said, why are you kicking me??"

As he said that, he turned to look at Tang Danniu.

"Who kicked you? Didn't you accidentally touch me?" Tang Danniu glared at him.

Grandma Zhang knocked on the table with her pipe and pot: "It's done, brothers will settle the accounts. Da Fei makes radios for everyone. This is a business, a business.

Liangzi has done the work, so Dafei should give him the money. But two yuan is too much, just one yuan per unit. "

The boss only earns one dollar and a half for a day's work in the steel rolling mill, and it only takes more than half an hour to weld a machine.

One dollar is a lot.

After saying that, he looked sideways at Tang Danniu: "Old man, what do you think?"

Tang Danniu quickly lowered her head: "I listen to the old lady."

In her heart, she actually felt that two yuan was a bit much. Giving one yuan now was better than going to work, so she immediately stopped talking.

The old lady has spoken, and the matter ends here.

Zhang Chenliang asked his brother how the preparations for the warming banquet tomorrow were going.

Zhang Chenfei told him that the vegetables and meat had been agreed with Li Youbing, and they would deliver them at around eight o'clock tomorrow morning.

Shazhu also agreed that when he finishes lunch in the factory cafeteria tomorrow, Shazhu will ask for leave to help.

"I only work half a day and will be back at around two o'clock in the afternoon. Brother, just come over after work tomorrow."

Zhang Chenliang was about to say that it couldn't be done, but Zhang Chenfei told him that Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng, Liu Guangqi, Li Youbing, Fatty, and Siyaner would all come to help.

"My sister-in-law and several unemployed aunts in the courtyard are also helping, including you."

"Well, that's OK. Then I'll tell the workshop director this afternoon to get off work early." Zhang Chenliang replied.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon the next day,
  When Zhang Chenfei returned home from Chen Xueru's store, he saw that the courtyard was already busy.

A large stove was newly built in the middle courtyard, with a large iron pot sitting on it, which was boiling hot water.

Next to the big stove is a makeshift chopping board made from the door of He Yuyu's room. Silly Zhu is chopping vegetables on the chopping board.

Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng were washing and picking vegetables.

Five Eight Immortals tables moved from the Yan family, Liu family and Zhang family were placed in the most spacious position in the middle courtyard.

There are benches and benches placed beside the table, all pieced together from various households.

Several aunts from the courtyard brought dishes and chopsticks from their respective homes and placed the plates on the table.

Yan Bugui set up a long table at the moon gate of the central courtyard, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones placed on the table.

He was wearing a used woolen coat with four large pockets and three pens in the pockets. He was sitting at the table waiting to record accounts.

Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi changed jobs and now sat next to Yan Bugui.

On the table is a tray with peanuts and melon seeds, sour tricolor and lobster cakes, as well as some unpacked cigarettes.

When someone came to offer a gift, he would grab a handful of candy peanuts and pass them over.

If the other person is a man, hand him another cigarette. Have a few words with the other person and deal with them.

This job is much more prestigious than picking vegetables and washing them.

In order to get this job, he said a lot of good things to Liu Guangqi.

However, it is not the master's time yet, so his main task is to compete with Yan Bugui in a battle of wits and courage.

You must have good eyesight and quick hands, otherwise Yan Bugui will have to drag everything in the tray into his pocket while waiting for someone to come.

After Zhang Chenfei arrived, he first went to say a few polite words to Yan Bugui, Shazhu and others, and then returned to his new home in the front yard.

Opening the door curtain that Tian Xiaozao had remodeled with a mattress, as soon as he entered the door, he saw brand new tables, chairs and benches, and a new quilt had been spread on the kang.

The floor is paved with fine Linzhou gold bricks, the walls are all white, the tile-roofed house is high, with a suspended ceiling and new light bulbs.

The radio I had just saved yesterday was placed on the chest of drawers, with a red scarf covering it to prevent it from falling dust.

Grandma Zhang is old but still has good hands. She cut a lot of window grilles by herself and pasted them on the spacious and bright glass windows.

The deaf old lady sat on the head of Grandma Zhang's new kang, looking at the white house with large transparent glass, her eyes full of envy.

"Otherwise, your life is better. As you get older, you won't be able to enjoy the blessing of a grandson."

Just this big glass, this new kang head, new bedding, food, and Cheng Huan’s eight great-grandchildren.
  Thinking of the growing gap between herself and Grandma Zhang, the deaf old lady felt miserable! ! !

It gets dark early in Sijiucheng. At around five o'clock, the sky has already started to become gray.

The first group of guests to arrive were Zhang Chenfei's friends from his previous days as a hutong hawker.

Although Zhang Chenfei has now become a typical example of reforming evil in the East Third District, his former friends still occasionally interact with him.

These people didn't have jobs, so they were the first to arrive, and the gifts they received were cash, ranging from five cents to one yuan. They mainly showed that they were wealthy.

Yan Bugui's eyes turned green with envy when he was doing the accounting. He secretly blamed his son for not having the ability and having so few friends! !

Xu Damao loved to deal with such people on weekdays. At this time, he shook hands with them one by one, talked with each other, and got close to them.

The second group of people who arrived were actually not outsiders, they were all residents of the courtyard.

They had been helping just now, and now they started to give gifts when they were free, and their gifts were more practical.

For those who have a good relationship with the Zhang family, or want to establish friendship with Zhang Chenfei, the gifts are relatively high-value items such as thermoses and new quilt covers.

The relationship is average, and the gift is a washbasin, a spittoon and the like.

The last group to arrive were acquaintances from the steel rolling mill and colleagues from the publicity department.

Both Niu Lili, who had a good relationship with Zhang Chenfei, and Sun Yuwen, who had a bad relationship with him, all arrived.

The reason is, naturally, that the section chief and deputy section chief have arrived. Therefore, Sun Yuwen and his party followed the courtesy no matter what they thought in their hearts.

Sister Hua arrived with all the women from the "Guan Tian Group". Looking at Zhang Chenfei's brand new and spacious Kang, several people winked and murmured. He told some colorful jokes, and then burst into laughter at the same time.

As the only street activist in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai had already been mentally building up his mind for a long time. He finally stepped into the door of Zhang Chenfei's new home and planned to say a few polite words.

As a result, as soon as I entered the door, I heard the laughter of Sister Hua and others. I immediately tightened my crotch, turned around and ran home.

Because he ran too fast, he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

When Sister Hua and others saw this, they laughed again.

He even muttered about Yi Zhonghai marrying a wife and stirring up a big vat with toothpicks.

Tian Xiaozao, who was not yet married, blushed with embarrassment when she heard this. When Tang Da Niu saw this, she hurriedly pulled her and muttered to her not to worry.
  When Tian Xiaozao heard this, his face turned even redder.

It is worth mentioning that the old Xu family actually received two gifts.

In addition to the silk quilt given by Xu Fugui, Xu Damao himself also saved fifty cents from his teeth and gave it to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui looked at the brand new fifty cents and gritted his teeth.

I have followed the ritual, but my son still has to follow?

Xu Damao really doesn't know how to live. If it were his son, he would die of worry! !
  The time came to seven o'clock in the evening,
  A large light bulb pulled from the Zhang family was hung in the courtyard, illuminating the entire courtyard like daylight.

Yan Bugui put down his pen and started to act as the field controller again.

He stood in the middle of the yard and shouted angrily: "Ten people are seated at a table. The adults have their seats, and the children can just stand. Sit down and stop running around. Get ready for the banquet."

All the guests sat down lively, eating melon seeds and talking about this and that.

Lao Zhang at the head of the table said that Lao Wang of Sesame Hutong died like a sheep, but when it came to Lao Liu at the end of the table, he said that Lao Wang died like a mother.

While talking and laughing, many people's reputations and reputations were ruined.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, Yan Jiefang and Fatty started to act as waiters carrying trays again.

Dishes were served one after another, braised pork, beef stewed with tofu, and choked cabbage.
  The hot sour soup noodles are served in a porcelain white ocean bowl, with green chopped green onions and minced coriander sprinkled inside.

When the food was served, everyone immediately picked up their chopsticks and pounced on the food without saying a word. The first things to grab are the braised pork and beef stewed with tofu.

If you have quick hands, you will get a big piece with one chopstick, and another piece with another chopstick. Before anyone else could recover, he had already grabbed three pieces.

Those who are smart can just use a chopstick to pierce them and skewer them like candied haws.

Those who are slow-handed and slow-minded only want to scold their mothers, and are incompetent and furious.

I could only pick up a large piece of vegetables with chopsticks, put it in a bowl, and vent my anger.

After Zhang Chenfei was half full, he started to toast from table to table with his wine glass.

This was not a wedding banquet, and no one was drinking. Only a few people expressed confusion when they heard that he bought the house for three hundred yuan.

"Da Fei, if you rent these two rooms, it will cost you four yuan a month, which will only be less than fifty yuan a year.

Why spend almost ten years of rent on buying a house? ? "

I spent so much money to buy a house and hundreds more to decorate it, and I owe a lot of debt.
  I don’t understand how nice it is to have money in your own hands.

Zhang Chenfei smiled and said that the house was his own to live in safely.

Yi Zhonghai, whose heart was bleeding, said to himself, of course you are at ease, I paid for the 300 yuan you paid for the house! ! ! I came up with it! ! !
  When he thought of his three hundred wasted money, he turned his grief and anger into appetite and finished five pieces of braised pork, three pieces of beef, three bowls of sour soup noodles and countless vegetarian dishes in one go.

At night, I lay in bed unable to sleep, so I had to get up and vomit everything in my stomach.

This is a story for later, let’s not mention it for now.

It was only said that Zhang Chenfei's house-warming banquet was over, and Yan Bugui took out his account book to reconcile with Zhang Chenfei.

While looking at the account book, he plucked the abacus beads:

"This time we collected three thermoses, two spittoons, two enamel basins, three quilt covers, and one sheet.
  And, hiss! ! One hundred and twenty-two dollars left? ? ? "

Yan Bugui took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then put them back on.

After picking up the account book again and checking it carefully, he nodded: "That's right, it's one hundred and twenty-two yuan!!!"

"Why are there so many??" Zhang Chenfei's brows jumped.

"Let me take a look," Yan Bugui looked through the account book, "Oh, the big ones are Li Shuanzhu (Li Youbing), Liu Qianqian (Fat Man) and Qian Baokun (Four Eyes). Each of the three of them got three. A gift of ten dollars.”

Next, Wang Mantang took three yuan, and Section Chief Song and Ma each took one and a half yuan.

Those in the alley take a dollar with them, and others with cash.

Yan Bugui looked at Zhang Chenfei: "You have really made a lot of money from the oil cake business now. Hey, it's thirty yuan for one sale!!! But the other two also follow so much??"

In this era, this amount of money is equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary person, and enough to support the Yan family's expenses for a month! ! !

Zhang Chenfei cleared his throat: "Hey, young people like to show off their money and spend money insignificantly. If their family members know about it, they may have to ask me to take it back."

He said this, but in his heart he said that Ming'er had to criticize Si Yan'er and the three of them.

Shoot the first bird! ! It's not good, it's not good to be so public.

After sending Yan Bugui away, Grandma Zhang had already boiled water for washing feet.

Although I have the conditions to take a bath after moving to a new home, the weather in the north is cold and I don’t have the habit of taking a bath every day in winter.

Zhang Chenfei washes his clothes once every three days, and the old lady plans to wash them once a week.

Not to mention dirty, in winter, a lot of people only go to the bathhouse once every half a month or once a month.

That night,

Lying on a soft mattress, covered with a newly made quilt that still smells of cotton.

Zhang Chenfei almost laughed out loud when he thought about not having to be woken up by the cries of Lao Qi and Lao Ba at night.

"Now everything is ready, all that's left is a bicycle and a wife." He murmured to himself.

Because he had just spent money on buying a house and renovating it, it was difficult for him to use the money to buy a bicycle.

But today, the fact that each of the three fat men received a big gift will soon be known to everyone in Yan Bu Gui's biography.

Although it was not his intention to be so public, in this way, he could put the matter of buying a car on the agenda.
