1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 292: This situation seems a little uncertain?

Wang Yinuo finally set off for the imperial capital, and the news that Mr. Wang was about to return spread throughout certain small circles.

Ok……

The word "spread" is not quite appropriate, the word "confirmed" would be more appropriate.

After all, through inquiries from many sources, people have recalled that Mr. Wang unexpectedly stayed in the capital for two more days after attending a meeting in the department more than a month ago.

The leader who asked Mr. Wang to stay and reminisce about the past was the one who suggested that Wang Yinuo go over to make a report.

In fact, the list of new leaders of Drilling Company 1, which has not yet been approved, says it all.

However, it was somewhat beyond Yang Mo's expectations that after realizing that Mr. Wang's return was a foregone conclusion, the company's senior leaders and department heads became more enthusiastic about the cooperation with Dongying. They urged Yang Mo three times a day to quickly investigate the site of the new company, as if they were in a hurry to finalize this cooperation before Mr. Wang's complete return.

In response to this, Yang Mo remained calm throughout. Later, he got really annoyed by the urging and set the date for his inspection trip to various cities on January 1, which made the others calm down a little.

As for why Yang Mo still decided to set the departure date on January 1th, a date that everyone thought was a bit delayed, when the time was so urgent...

It’s very simple, January 1th is the day when new regular employees move into their new homes!
For a certain reborn person, helping classmate Tugou to find a new home is the most important thing at the moment, okay!

………………

Bang bang bang bang~!

It seemed to have become a routine that the newly built dormitory area was filled with the sound of firecrackers, from morning to night without stopping.

Dong dong dong~!

Amid the noisy sounds of firecrackers, from a small courtyard whose actual living area was only 45 square meters, the dull sound of hammers could be heard from time to time.

"Xiaoyong, are you able to do this? You've already hammered half a box of nails in, and the bed is still not fixed?"

Classmate Tugou looked at the strong man she had pulled over with disdain, and then looked with some frustration at the wooden bed with two legs kneeling on it in the empty bedroom.

It's a pity that this guy dares to call himself the chief carpenter of the younger generation in Baiyang Village.
That's it?

Xiaoyong, who was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, complained: "Big sister, can you blame me for this? When I helped you move, I told you that the bed was too wide and the legs were too long, and that you had to take the legs off before moving in. But you didn't listen and insisted on carrying the whole bed in... Now, it's stuck, isn't it?"

"Well, it's stuck, so let's back out slowly, remove the bed legs as I said, and then move it in;"

"But you, on the other hand, refused to believe in it and tried your best to force it inside... Now, the bed leg is broken, isn't it?"

At this point, Xiao Yong looked at the two bed legs that were bent in two along the grain in silence: "I don't know how you developed such strength. You can even break a nearly inch thick wooden leg. I am convinced!"

Tugou glared at him fiercely: "How would I know the door here is so narrow? When we carried this bed out of Yangshidan's yard before, it was easy to get out of the door!"

Xiao Yong rolled his eyes. "You've been in the drilling company for a year. Where does Yang Mo live? Where is your place... Can the specifications of the houses in the agency's family quarters be the same as those in the staff dormitory?"

"You don't even know something that even people like us in the nearby villages know? I don't even know what you've learned in the company after working there for a year."

Tugou felt very unhappy about being criticized by the guy who once begged for mercy under her iron fist, so she generously let Xiaoyong relive the feeling of real fisting after a year.

Xiaoyong, who was rubbing his chest vigorously, almost cried: "Big sister, do you have any sense of justice? I got up early in the morning, helped you move things, and helped you fix the bed. Even if I didn't do any credit, I still worked hard... How can you do this!"

Tugou student shone his fist fiercely: "Bullshit, even if there is no merit, it is still hard work! The ten dollars and a meal in the cafeteria that you used to earn are so easy... If you don't want to give it to outsiders, how many people would clamor to earn this money... You can earn ten dollars just by moving a few things casually, where can you find such a good job?"

This is the truth. Classmate Tugou doesn't have much belongings. Apart from this bed, he only has a box of commonly worn clothes, a box of costumes, a few pairs of shoes, two quilts, and a few half-drunk bottles of wine... Apart from that bed, the remaining things can't even fill a tricycle.

As for the heaviest stone mill and the remaining pots, pans, and bowls...

I don’t know if it was because they were afraid of trouble or for some other reason, but all these things were left in Yang Mo’s yard.

Xiao Yong was frightened by the pair of small fists that looked not very delicate but hurt him so much that he shrank back and muttered quietly: "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have earned the ten dollars from you. It's just a few things, why don't you let Yang Mo help you pull it... It's not like you don't have a tricycle."

Hearing Yang Mo's name, Tugou's eyes dimmed slightly, and then he glared at him: "Yang Mo is now the section chief, and he is busy all day long. How can he have time to deal with such trivial matters!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyong looked at his classmate Tugou, who seemed more beautiful than before, and lowered his head in frustration.

In the past year, Yang Mo has been the most dazzling star in the villages around them. Not only has he overwhelmed his peers, but the village elders also follow his lead. But they can't even muster the heart to compete with him... He's only 24 years old, but he's become a powerful section chief who controls hundreds of millions of funds. Even the leaders of the county agricultural bureau are polite when they meet him. How can you let them have fun?
All the friends in the village knew that he was interested in this girl with a violent temper. Therefore, when Tugou rode his tricycle to the village to look for help yesterday, they all gave this opportunity to him. But when he really entered the drilling company's site and looked at the rows of new houses that looked like small villas, and the warm and slightly fawning greetings of passers-by to Tugou, he realized that there was no chance for him to be with this girl who had been haunting him.

This is not to say that Tugou classmate would despise the poor and love the rich, but after living under the same roof with a monster like Yang Mo for a whole year, it is estimated that the other party will no longer be interested in ordinary men.

You probably don't know that it's only been half a morning, and you have already mentioned the three words "sheep dung eggs" over and over again nearly a hundred times.

Xiaoyong thought with some sadness.

Just as Tugou was staring at the densely packed nails on the bed legs and sighing...

Bang bang bang~!

The door was knocked so loudly that even the sound of firecrackers could not cover up the series of knocks.

“Who is it!!?”

Classmate Tugou became angry and rushed out of the house.

This iron door is newly installed and the paint on it has just dried. You knocked on it so hard. If it gets deformed and you can’t stick Spring Festival couplets on it, I will definitely make you suffer the consequences!
Just as he angrily opened the iron gate, a red thing was slapped onto Tugou's chest.

"Go on! Hold on tight! I've been knocking for a long time but no one opened the door. I'm so tired!"

Yang Mo pinched his sore elbow and complained unhappily.

Eh?
Tugou poked his head out from behind the fluffy quilt and subconsciously touched...

So soft and slippery!
Is this... a silk quilt?

"Yang Shidan, didn't you go to work? Why did you suddenly come here?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Tugou's face. She had always been very fussy about prices, but the first thing she asked was not how much the quilt cost.

Yang Mo chuckled: "I've become a section chief. If I still can't skip work legitimately, then what's the point of being a section chief?"

As he said that, he spread out his palm and placed it on Tugou's forehead, pushing her away with a look of disgust: "Get out of the way quickly, there are so many things here, and you are just blocking the door like an idiot. How can others move their things in?"

Tugou used his Iron Bridge skills, leaned back to relieve Yang Mo's grip, then straightened up again and tilted his head to look. Only then did he realize that Yang Mo did not come alone. He was followed by Bao Shuxian and Su Yu, as well as two other young men he had never seen before, and three other movers who were obviously from the Logistics Department.

Next to each of these people was a tricycle that had been obtained from somewhere, with all kinds of random things piled high on it.

That is to say, the alley on the new dormitory side is narrow and only bicycles and tricycles can get in. Otherwise, these things would have to be piled up high and low to fill up a 130-meter-high truck.

Seeing that there were outsiders around, Tugou decided to give this bastard some face. He did not fight back against the slap that had just been given to him. He quickly moved away and then warmly invited everyone into the house... However, this guy was holding a huge silk quilt at the moment, with only half of his head sticking out, so the greeting was really funny.

………………

"Manager Lu, these are the apples the company gave me. Can you pile them in the small storage room outside? There's a radiator in the room, and I'm worried they'll wilt if left there for a few days."

Li Ming, who is about 1.8 meters tall, walked in easily carrying a large box of apples, and then respectfully asked for Tugou's opinion.

"Okay! Li Ming, right? Thank you for your hard work. Please put it near the door of the storage room so that I can load it into the car when the time comes!"

Classmate Tugou looked at the word "special grade" on the carton with a smile on his face, thinking that this was a good thing that only cadres at the section level and above could get, and that he had found a gift to bring home for the Spring Festival.

………………

"Manager Lu, this is the coffee table that Section Chief Yang bought for you. Please put it in a convenient place. I will help you install it."

Zhang Bo, who looked a bit fierce, walked in carrying a large flat box and a bunch of tools in his left hand.

This is the most fashionable glass coffee table at the moment. Yang Mo specially selected a thick frosted one. It is quite heavy and it is quite troublesome to assemble, but Zhang Bo took a liking to this job at first sight. After all, there are not many opportunities to show up in front of his boss and show off. The opportunities to stay in front of his boss for a long time are even rarer. Others can't even ask for it... Who says that people who look honest are not petty?
"Uh, let's just put it here... I'm so sorry, this thing should be quite heavy, right?"

"Xiaoyong! Xiaoyong! Come out and help!"

Hearing the dull sound made when the cardboard box lightly touched the ground, Lu Yingying immediately knew that this thing must weigh at least several dozen kilograms, and she immediately used the summoning technique.

………………“Hey, comrade Yingying, come over here and give me a hand. Why is your door so narrow? This is the leather sofa that Boss Yang spent six hundred dollars to buy for you. If it gets scratched, you won’t even have time to cry!”

Bao Shuxian and Su Yu worked together to carry an ivory leather sofa and carefully walked through the gate.

When he heard that this sofa which was less than four meters long cost six hundred dollars, Tugou was shocked. He immediately left Li Ming and Xiao Yong who were assembling the coffee table aside and ran out in a hurry.

"Yang Shidan, you're such a spendthrift. You spent 600 yuan on something like this. You don't have anywhere else to spend your money, right?"

"Come on! If you feel uncomfortable not being able to spend money, give it all to me and I'll help you spend it... Hiss~ Why is this thing so heavy!?"

Classmate Tugou carefully held the sofa and guided the two of them to turn carefully. As soon as he started, he found that this thing was extremely heavy.

Yang Mo, who was waiting behind with a TV in his arms, looked at her innocently: "This thing is made of camphor wood, so it's a bit heavy. Plus, there are dozens of layers of sponge pressed in it, so it's normal for it to be a bit heavy!"

Basically, good sofas rarely use springs. They are made of real materials. In addition, the materials used in high-end furniture these days are relatively solid. Therefore, although this sofa is not very big, its weight is definitely close to 200 kilograms.

After spitting at Yang Mo fiercely, Tugou's face was full of heartache: "Is the weight of this thing the main point? The main point is the 600 yuan! Yang Shidan, I found that you really don't take money seriously after becoming the section chief... yuan is enough for us to treat the whole village to a feast, but you bought a thing like this?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to spend thirty bucks to hire someone to find a few wooden boards and nail a long bench, and then spend a few more bucks to buy some scraps of cloth to sew some big cushions on it?"

Bao Shuxian, who was sweating profusely, rolled his eyes and said, "Comrade Lu Yingying, can we move the sofa in before we talk about this?"

"One more thing to add, with the current prices, you can't hire a good craftsman to build a sofa frame for you for 600 yuan, and the price of your sofa set is not 600 yuan... is the price of this long sofa in our hand, and there are three short sofas in the car!"

More than 600?

Classmate Tugou opened his mouth wide and looked at the two tricycles at the back... and sure enough, there were three short sofas on them.

"Yang Shidan, this, this, this, how much does this cost!?"

Tugou's voice began to tremble.

Seeing that the woman was so distressed that even the muscles on her face twitched, Yang Mo felt that he should not stimulate this extremely stingy woman too much, so he concealed part of the price and said, "It's not that expensive... a total of 800 yuan!"

800 oceans?

You need to retake your elementary school math!

Bao Shuxian and Su Yu both gave this guy a disdainful look, 200X3+600=800?

After hearing this, your elementary school math teacher would probably faint in the toilet crying, right?
"800!?? Yang Shidan, you, you, you loser! You make me so mad!"

As it turned out, for a stingy girl who was reluctant to go to the company cafeteria and could only eat flour and pancakes with pickles every day, 800 yuan was far beyond her psychological expectations.

Seeing that Tugou's face was flushed and he looked like he wanted to eat him, Yang Mo quickly coughed and said, "Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by a prodigal son? This sofa is not only made of solid materials, but also has a rare multi-layer leather craftsmanship. The cowhide alone is stretched over three layers. I guarantee that it will not break even when your grandchildren get married... You can buy a family heirloom for 800 dollars. You will never be able to touch such a good thing in the future!"

This is indeed the truth. At that time, domestic companies had not yet realized the importance of artificially controlling the service life of products. Therefore, under the guidance of the simple thinking of "quality = price", they produced some hard goods that made later generations astonished... Just like "a fan for three generations", the Bat brand fan that can run continuously for decades without breaking down, the sofa set that Yang Mo bought is of such reliable quality that it is really incomparable to the later generations who are obsessed with bargains.

Seeing that Tugou's expression was slightly relaxed, Yang Mo quickly resorted to conciliatory tactics: "Besides, you are moving to a new home, so a new home should have a new look!"

"I know your character. You like to curl up on the sofa and watch TV all day. Without me watching over you, you will definitely take a sip from the bottle every now and then... If you take too many sips, you might even fall asleep on the sofa!"

As she spoke, Yang Mo's expression became serious: "You are already a grown-up girl, and you have been assigned your own house. I can't control you drinking at home... But no matter what, having a set of comfortable sofas for you to lie on after you get drunk is much better than sleeping on the floor or wooden boards... I don't want to see you groaning with your neck tilted every day."

Seeing Yang Mo secretly poking at his ugly sleeping posture and bringing up the fact that he drank alcohol secretly, Tugou stuck out his tongue guiltily, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

snort!
This bastard actually cares about others, this is really rare!
………………

It took a full three minutes to move the sofa into the room. Tugou wiped the sweat from his forehead due to nervousness, and then he found that the TV in Yang Mo's hand looked familiar.

"Eh? Isn't this the TV in your room? Why did you bring it here?"

Classmate Tugou pointed at a channel button on the TV that had some paint peeling off and asked with a strange look on his face.

The channel button with some paint peeling off corresponds to the TV station she often watches. The paint workmanship of some parts of this TV is obviously not very good. After pressing it many times, the paint naturally started to peel off.

Hearing this, Yang Mo smiled indifferently: "Isn't it the end of the year, and color TV tickets are becoming increasingly tight? In addition, affected by the macro environment, the supply of color TVs this year is much less than last year. There is no stock in Linyi County, and I can't spare the time to go to Dezhou and Jinan, so I just brought the TV from home to you directly!"

As he spoke, Yang Mo looked at her with some disdain: "I know you too well, girl. If there is no TV to watch at night, or if the drama you are following is interrupted for a few episodes, and if you drink a little wine, you will definitely tear down this new house!"

Lu Yingying didn't pay attention to his teasing, but stared at him blankly: "But you moved the TV here, how do you watch the news?"

After living under the same roof for a year, she certainly knew that Yang Mo actually had no interest in those shows and TV series;
But the problem is, after he was promoted to section chief, especially the section chief of a department like Mo Mo Bai Tou, the "News Broadcast" starting at 7 o'clock every evening, as well as the news programs of Qilu TV, and even Dezhou and Linyi County TV stations, became his must-watch programs... In a sense, judging the wind direction through various news is also one of his important jobs as a section chief.

Yang Mo shrugged his head when he heard that. "Don't worry about that. With Reference News and a bunch of official newspapers, I don't lack information sources. I read the news just to verify each other... Even if I can't watch the news programs, it won't affect my work."

Tugou looked at him suspiciously. If she remembered correctly, Yang Mo had also taught her how to receive and select useful information from various media.

And if her little head had not been confused by alcohol, Yang Mo once said that television news is actually more valuable than newspaper news, and it is also better able to judge certain wind directions and those biased signals from the subtle details such as the host's tone, expression, wording, news pictures and texts.

How come in this guy's mouth today, the TV news that he had to watch without fail for the past two months became something insignificant?

Could it be...

Thinking of a possibility, Lu Yingying suddenly felt like crying, and then looked at the jerk in front of her with a complicated expression. If there weren't so many outsiders here today, and her own sister Mu blocking her from view, she might not be able to control herself and ask some questions that she shouldn't ask in front of Yang Mo.

Yang Mo was a little nervous when Tugou looked at him in confusion. He thought there was something wrong with his explanation, so he laughed awkwardly, "Well, actually you don't have to worry about it. I'm going on a business trip soon to investigate the location of the new company. It's useless to leave this TV with me, so I might as well bring it over for you to watch TV series... As for me, I'll get another one when I come back. Anyway, it's not difficult to get a color TV ticket after the Spring Festival... If it doesn't work, it's not a big deal to use my connections to get one."

Hearing the word "business trip", Tugou calmed down immediately.

Of course she knew who Yang Mo would go on this business trip with.

After the light in his eyes dimmed slightly, Tugou laughed and took the TV from Yang Mo's arms: "Yes, you are already a section chief, it shouldn't be easy for you to get a color TV? Fine, I won't refuse this thing!"

As he spoke, Tugou held the color TV in his arms like a treasure and walked into the house: "By the way, didn't you say that the company has been urging you to decide on a location for the new company these days? When do you plan to leave?"

Yang Mo shook his aching arms and didn't hide it from her: "I'll probably leave this afternoon... If it wasn't for buying these new furniture for you and attending your housewarming party, I should have left the day before yesterday!"

Tugou's eyes sparkled, and he turned his head to look at him: "Yo~ So you're staying here just to get a free meal at my housewarming party!"

Yang Mo rolled his eyes: "Big sister, you only remember the housewarming dinner, and you didn't see this room full of things? In order to buy these trucks of things for you, I almost went bankrupt!"

At this point, Yang Mo glanced at the girl's hands that were tied up, and flicked her forehead in revenge: "Let me tell you, I have no money now. If you dare not treat me to a good meal at noon, I will stay here and not leave... If the company gives me trouble, I will blame you!"

Lu Yingying bared her teeth and moved the muscles on her face, but found that she couldn't relieve the pain on her forehead. She immediately stared at Yang Mo fiercely: "Okay, I'm going all out today! I'll treat you to a good meal at noon even if my private money is gone... Bichuan Restaurant, sour soup pork trotter hotpot, do you dare to go!?"

Sour soup pork trotter hotpot?

Thinking of the series of troubles that might arise if a certain young lady smelled the pork on him, Yang Mo's scalp felt a little numb.

Looking at the provocative look of Tugou classmate, Yang Mo felt that his uncle could tolerate it, but his aunt could not.

He immediately gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely: "Okay, if you dare to treat me, I dare to eat... I'm not afraid that you will cry for your parents after eating so much, I won't leave today!"

Classmate Tugou sneered, "When you've been away for three days, you should look at each other with new eyes. Yangshidan, you probably don't know how much private money I have hidden this year? You made me cry for food? ... Tsk~!"

After throwing a provocative look, Tugou shouted at the top of his voice: "Xiaoyong, come out and help, move the remaining things in the car quickly, and then go to Bichuan Hotel for a big meal...Don't mess with that broken bed, I'm sleeping on the 800 yuan sofa today!"

………………

Watching Tugou, he moved furniture one by one from the car swiftly, as if he was engaged in a big battle, regardless of the sweat all over his body, while he kept talking and making insults to Yang Mo.

Comrade Bao Shuxian, who felt that he was about to collapse from exhaustion, looked at Su Yu when no one was paying attention, and they both smiled bitterly.

They all knew something about the process that Yang Mo and Miss Mu had started.

I originally thought that these two people should be together naturally.
But today I saw...

This situation seems a little bit uncertain?
