Chapter 20 New house starts

Chapter 20 New House Construction Starts

"I didn't, they wronged me."

"Well, I believe you. A man like you will never deny your mistakes. What kind of soldier are you?"

Comrade Xiao Du listened to Bart talk about the affairs of the army. Bart is a fifth-year soldier, a heavy machine gunner. He can carry a heavy machine gun alone and charge forward. He is more powerful than an ox. His military quality is very high, but his appetite is too scary.

During cross-country training, he was hit by a bullet box and injured his foot. He was temporarily unable to train normally, so he went to the logistics cooking company to help cook. As a result, he caught up with the chief of staff to check the logistics and found that two boxes of canned beef were missing.

Bat Shengsheng was charged with stealing things because he had a big appetite and couldn't eat enough every day.

The warehouse custodian was a good person, and despite such a childish frame-up, Bart was fired in the end.

This was because the company commander knew that he was wrongly accused and spoke up for him, otherwise Bart would have to go to jail.

When he was in the army, his mother died of illness. When he returned home, he had nothing but a shabby shanty. He was a big-time soldier and had little savings, not even re-employment allowance. Bart had no skills and no job, so he had to

I worked part-time with Yin Laoliu to earn a living.

Fortunately, when Yin Laoliu was young, he was favored by Bai Bart's father, so he always supported him and took him to work. The year before last, he also helped Bai Bart marry a widow, who brought a little girl with him.

Last year, Bart's own child was also born. His life was already tight, but now that there is another family, life is really unbearable. Bart now only has one meal a day, two steamed buns, and cold water when he is hungry.

When Bart first came back from the army, he weighed 178 kilograms, a serious and strong man. Now he only weighs 143 kilograms, and he has lost 35 kilograms due to hunger.

After listening to Bart's story, Xiao Du asked Yin Laoliu.

"Master Yin, I'm asking you to work this time. Is the food allowance sufficient?"

"Absolutely enough. Thirty cents per meal is enough to celebrate the New Year every day."

"Okay, Master Yin, then you can let Bart eat for a few more days."

"I didn't say anything."

Comrade Xiao Du could actually tell that even if he ate 7 steamed buns and 3 bowls of porridge in one meal, Bart was not completely full.

But I couldn't give him any more food. It wasn't that Xiao Du was worried about money. Being hungry for too long or eating too much at once would kill him. Even if Bart was extremely talented, Xiao Du wouldn't dare to gamble.

After leading the group to the courtyard, Yin Laoliu and the men began to clean up first.

Xiao Du also made a special trip to the sub-district office, met with Section Chief Zou, and briefly explained the situation. It rained and the house collapsed, and the official renovation began today.

Section Chief Zou was so generous that he even came to the courtyard in person, which was considered to be a show of support for Xiao Du.

When Comrade Xiao Du builds a house, the section chief of the sub-district office has to personally check it out, and the birds in the yard have to weigh the implications.

Then Xiao Du went to Sanliang Store again and told Yu Huaihai that the house collapsed and the cement and other things would be in place tomorrow.

Yu Huaihai curled his lips and said: "80 yuan, there are too many things, I can't afford it."

Xiao Du directly ordered 100 for him, "Don't embarrass my uncle, just do the favor yourself."

Yu Huaihai is not hypocritical. The market value of these things is at least 120 yuan. The 80 yuan is all the internal price. His father must be taking a favor. 20 yuan can buy a few good cigarettes, and the favor is basically enough.

"I'll go see my dad in the afternoon. As I said before, I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll go then. Give me the keys to your house and I'll move the things. Clean them and wait for me in the evening."

"Get the hell out of here!"

Under the hot gazes of a group of aunts and girls in Sanliang Store, Comrade Xiao Du walked out with a guilty conscience, muttering to himself, why are the eyes of these old ladies in Sanliang Store so sharp?

I will rarely visit this place in the future, it's scary.

Yu Huaihai was also complaining in his heart: Damn, these females in the Liangdian just forgot about Du Weiguo, and this grandson appeared again. Did you deliberately come to steal the limelight from my handsome man in the Sanliangdian?

I found a boss, returned to the courtyard, and asked Yin Laoliu and others to help move everything to Yu Huaihai's house and put it in the room where his parents used to live.

There are not many things, just some clothes, bedding, photos, books, radio, pots and pans.

Director Xiao Du entrusted Carpenter Cui to handle all the furniture. Carpenter Cui also knew what the new furniture designed by Xiao Du looked like. All these old furniture were packaged and sold directly.

He is an experienced carpenter, so he naturally knows someone who specializes in selling second-hand furniture, and the prices are relatively good. Two sets of old furniture for two and a half rooms were sold for a total of 22 yuan.

This is also the first income Comrade Xiao Du has earned since his rebirth. It is really embarrassing.

At noon, Yin Laoliu's daughter-in-law brought the girl over to deliver the meal, steamed buns with 2-face noodles, 73% ratio, vermicelli stewed with cabbage and tofu, three large steamed buns per person, and five for Bart.

The food looks pretty good, the stews are oily and the seasonings are sufficient.

Yin Laoliu's girl is 17 years old. She failed to pass the high school entrance examination and is now unemployed and helps the family. She has an average appearance but a very attractive name, Yin Susu.

I return it to Yang Xiao.

After a day of hard work, the house was finally basically cleaned up. When he got off work, Du Weiguo went door to door and delivered some fruit candies. He also gave out cigarettes to all the men in the house. He politely said that the recent renovations at home had caused trouble to everyone.

Already.

The second uncle and the third uncle all gave it directly to a box of big production, and the first uncle also gave it, after all, it was decent.

Everyone praised him without any hesitation, but it was still Xiao Du who knew how to handle things and was very capable.

My own house collapsed, and when it was renovated, everyone was given candy and smoke, and they were polite. If this were Lao Jia's family, they would probably have to call the compound to collect donations.

The next day, all kinds of building materials including blue bricks, wood, wood, cement, glass, pipes, quartz stone, borax, linoleum, putty, white ash, paint, etc. were shipped over, and Yin Laoliu and the others officially started work.

.

After everything was ready, Xiao Du and Yin Laoliu agreed on the time to work every day. They would start after the people in the compound went to work and end when they got off work.

Don't worry about building materials. Cement, glass, pipes, quartz stone, borax, white ash, putty, paint and other relatively rare materials are all received in the original penthouse at night.

If you don't use the hardware and pipe fittings that day, take them home. If they are stolen, it will be very troublesome. These items are not expensive, but they are very scarce and difficult to get rid of.

Xiao Du told Yin Laoliu that I would go to work starting the day after tomorrow, and come back in the afternoon if anything happened tomorrow. From now on, I would come back from get off work every day to take a look. If anything happened, come to the south gate of the rolling mill to see me.

Yin Laoliu naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

Yes, something really happened. Tomorrow is the weekend. Comrade Xiao Du is going to go to work directly the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow he has to go to the city library to apply for a library card. Libraries in this era are really full of treasures.

ah.

There were even many books that later became extinct.

Tomorrow he will go to Yu Huaihai's house. After all, he has helped him so much. Even though he is sending a message, Comrade Xiao Du still needs to be polite and polite.

Jianghu is not about fighting and killing; Jianghu is about human relations.
