Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

Lin Shaowen doesn’t know, but they do.

The ones who threw rotten eggs at Lin Shaowen's house yesterday were Sha Zhu, Yan Bugui and a few guys from Liu Haizhong's family.

"No, I have to go to the steel mill to find Lin Shaowen. If I lose my job, my family of five will starve to death."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong and Sha Zhu's faces changed.

Yi Zhonghai frowned, but was not too nervous.

He knew about this, but it was not his instigation. It was Sha Zhu who went there on his own initiative, and he just did not stop him.

"Go tell Lin Shaowen, he may not remember your kindness." Liu Haizhong said harshly.

"Lin Shaowen is not a very good person, but he is still sensible. Yesterday, I borrowed the flower hoe from the third master and he gave me such a big Hami melon as a gift." Someone whispered.

"Yes, let's go find Lin Shaowen."

The whole yard suddenly became noisy again.

"Okay, stop making trouble. I'm going to negotiate with Lin Shaowen." Yi Zhonghai stood up and said, "Second uncle, third uncle, you can come with us."

The two men's faces changed, and they dared not disagree.

Infirmary.

Lin Shaowen was eating watermelon happily with a spoon.

"Wow, you're living a pretty comfortable life."

A hint of envy flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes.

"If you are sick, tell me. If you are not sick, get out." Lin Shaowen said bluntly.

"You...do you have any respect for the elderly?" Liu Haizhong said angrily.

"Liu Haizhong, do you want to go and boil molten iron?"

Lin Shaowen spoke calmly, but frightened Liu Haizhong so much that he took a step back. "This old guy is an eighth-level worker. I may not be able to touch him for the time being. As for you, you can see whether I will kill you or not."

Although there is only one level difference between level 8 workers and level 7 workers, there is actually a world of difference between them.

Looking at the entire steel mill, among tens of thousands of people, there are only a few dozen level 8 fitters. But there are many level 7 fitters, and many people work their entire lives and cannot get promoted until retirement. This is what it means.

"You...you better not do anything rash." Liu Haizhong was very panicked.

What is the job of boiling molten iron? It is really hard work.

Moreover, the molten iron at thousands of degrees will cause injuries if you touch it, and death if you touch it.

Every year people die in the ironworks, and countless others become disabled.

Such a dangerous job must pay well, right?

No, they just get a little more subsidy than ordinary workers.

Chapter 40 Jia Dongxu's blind date

"And Teacher Yan..."

Lin Shaowen turned his eyes and sneered, "Losing your job is too much. After all, you have a family to support. But I heard that your Yan Jiecheng is now seeking connections, right? Don't waste money. Just support him until he is forty years old."

"you……"

Yan Bugui almost vomited blood.

If it was a little difficult to deal with Liu Haizhong, it was a piece of cake for Yan Jiecheng. Yan Bugui didn't have any strong connections. Although Yan Jiecheng only had a high school diploma, he had no connections to get into the company and was just a temporary worker.

As for temporary workers, as long as we receive a letter of complaint.

The company has always been a company that would rather kill someone by mistake than let them go, and they have no psychological burden in firing them.

The infirmary fell into deathly silence.

for a long time.

"Lin Shaowen, what exactly do you want?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"This is the attitude to solve the problem." Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "First, help me clean the door. If there is still a little smell when I go back, then we can continue playing."

"Secondly, Yi Zhonghai, go to the street office and apply for an electricity meter for me."

"Apply for a separate electricity meter? What do you want to do?" Yi Zhonghai frowned.

Now the entire compound shares one electricity meter, and everyone has to share the electricity bill.

Although it’s not much, the electricity bill is less than one dollar a month.

This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for Lin Shaowen.

But if he wanted to apply for electricity bills separately, it would be troublesome. Not only did he have to fill out the form, but he also had to go to the power bureau to apply. The procedures alone took an entire afternoon, not to mention that he had to wait for them to come and install the meter, which made him even more frustrated.

"You don't want Jia Dongxu to sweep toilets for the rest of his life, do you?" Lin Shaowen hit the nail on the head with just one sentence.

"It's just an electricity meter, Lao Yi, go and help him." Liu Haizhong said hurriedly.

"Yes, Lao Yi, if we go now, one afternoon will be enough." Yan Bugui also said.

"You have to lend me your bicycle." Yi Zhonghai put forward the condition.

"It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. If not, we can continue playing."

After Lin Shaowen said this, he staggered to the cafeteria with his lunch box to eat.

"Uncle, I'm just helping you to settle the matter." Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Bugui and said.

"you……"

Yan Bugui became anxious, because he knew that Yi Zhonghai had taken a fancy to his bicycle.

"It doesn't matter if you don't lend it. Anyway, Lin Shaowen said that you should support your family until Jie Cheng is 40 years old." Yi Zhonghai looked indifferent.

"I'll borrow it."

Yan Bugui gritted his teeth and spat out two words.

It's true that he values three cents, but it's even more painful to be taken advantage of for free.

It is obvious that Yi Zhonghai will not give him money since he is holding him in such a position.

Five thirty in the evening.

Lin Shaowen and Qin Huairu came back riding their bikes one after the other. Many people were in the yard. They looked at Lin Shaowen with fear in their eyes, completely different from the rebelliousness they had in the morning.

"Brother Lin."

"Dr. Lin."

"Xiao Lin."

……

Many people greeted Lin Shaowen with a charming smile on their faces.

"The procedures have been completed for you, and the electricity meter has been installed." Yi Zhonghai walked over and said.

"Where is it installed?" Lin Shaowen asked.

"It's installed in the corner of Qin Huairu's house, with the two meters together." Yi Zhonghai saw this and said hurriedly, "It wasn't my order. It was the people from the power bureau who came, but you weren't at home. They couldn't climb over the wall to your yard, right? If your things are lost, who will be responsible for it?"

That's what he said, but he did it on purpose.

Lin Shaowen obviously wanted to separate himself from the compound, fearing that he would get into trouble with everyone. This guy has many connections, so he must have got some good electrical appliances. But he connected Qin Huairu's and Lin Shaowen's watches together, so there will be trouble in the future.

really.

"Uncle, this is not right. His meter is in the same room with mine. How do I calculate my electricity bill in the future?" Qin Huairu, who came out to watch the fun, immediately refused to listen.

"Didn't Lin Shaowen ask for an independent meter?" Yi Zhonghai held out his hand to Lin Shaowen aggrievedly. "The meter fee is 80 yuan, and the worker's fee is 20 yuan... a total of 100 yuan."

Then he handed him the invoice.

"What kind of electricity meter costs one hundred?" Yan Bugui exclaimed.

"Zunyi brand." Yi Zhonghai replied, "We installed the best ones because we were afraid something might go wrong in the yard."

Yan Bugui stopped talking too.

He could clearly feel that Yi Zhonghai was trying to cheat Lin Shaowen. A cheap electricity meter only cost 40 yuan, and this time it was double the price.

Lin Shaowen didn't argue with him and took out a hundred yuan to give to Yi Zhonghai, but he said to Qin Huairu, "Qin Huairu, you also have a share in this electricity meter. As a woman, you should give me forty yuan."

"You're dreaming. I didn't let you remove the electricity meter. Now you have taken out my electricity. In the future, I will still have to pay for electricity according to the current standards." Qin Huairu also shouted.

"No, Qin Huairu, this is not right..."

As they talked, they started arguing.

Sha Zhu wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Yi Zhonghai.

After arguing for a long time, they still couldn't come to a conclusion and both of them left angrily.

As soon as Lin Shaowen returned to the yard, Qin Huairu came over and hugged him and kissed him.

"I acted well, didn't I?"

"It's okay."

"Would you like to give me a little reward?"

"Qin Huairu, you are a female hooligan."

"Whee!"

Qin Huairu didn't care whether Lin Shaowen agreed or not, and pulled him into the room.

It was gradually getting dark.

The three middle-aged women who had agreed to come and plant flowers for Lin Shaowen yesterday did not come. They were probably stopped by their husbands.

As a last resort, Lin Shaowen had to do it himself.

"What are you doing?" Qin Huairu asked curiously.

"Planting flowers." Lin Shaowen felt helpless.

"This is not your job, let me do it."

Qin Huairu drove Lin Shaowen back into the house without saying a word, and began to loosen the soil and water the plants by herself with great concentration.

Seeing that she couldn't come in for a while, Lin Shaowen turned around and entered the island.

"First shot."

"Get a fan ticket."

"Oh my god, this is a good sign."

Lin Shaowen was overjoyed. He had wanted to use his connections to find a fan ticket these days, but he didn't expect to get one here.

"Second shot."

"Get a fan ticket."

"..."

Lin Shaowen felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't sell fans, so why did he need so many fans?

"Third shot."

"Get a fan ticket."

Lin Shaowen looked at the three electric fan tickets with tears in his eyes, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
