Chapter 51 The first confrontation with White Lotus
When Comrade Xiao Du was concentrating on cooking, he could not have imagined that Qin Huairu's mind was spinning for him at this moment.
Qin Huairu's brain is really burning like crazy now. Director Xiao Du doesn't go back to live in the courtyard at all now. When he goes back to check on the decoration, it's always in the afternoon. He doesn't come to the canteen to eat. Moreover, he works night shift every day recently, returning early and leaving late, walking around day and night.
, I didn’t even have a chance to speak.
I don’t know how long it will take for him to finish repairing his house and move back to the courtyard.
But I almost couldn't hold it any longer.
what to do?
As if the gods in the sky heard her prayers, the respectable and lovely Comrade Xiao Du was walking towards her carrying a lunch box.
Damn it, Comrade Xiao Du is too hungry and has not eaten enough.
Came here again to order some food and a steamed bun.
"Sister Qin, is there any food left? I'm not too full."
"Yes, yes, I will call you."
"Thank you. Just order some food and have a steamed bun."
"One steamed bun is not enough, why don't you get two? You are so tall and have done so much work, so you still have a lot of steamed buns."
In this era, everyone is a pot-bellied man, and three or five steamed buns are not a problem.
"Okay, thank you, Sister Qin. I'll share it with others later."
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao Du, you are on the night shift today, right?"
"Well, I've been working night shifts this month."
"Then I'll wait for you at the south gate after get off work. Didn't your house be repaired recently? I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Uh~ OK."
"Then I'll see you after get off work. If you don't have enough food, just ask sister."
"That's enough, thank you."
Comrade Xiao Du turned around and left with a strange smile on his face.
Damn it, Bai Lianhua is helping the cook in the cafeteria. She probably didn't get along very well, her face has lost a lot of weight. Is she targeting me?
How interesting.
I'm even looking forward to it.
Return to your seat and give one of the steamed buns to Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao said: "Weiguo, how do you know Qin Huairu?"
"She and I are neighbors in the same courtyard. What's wrong?"
"Haha, you belong to Huang Guilan and Qin Huairu. I thought you and Comrade Lao Cao had the same hobby?"
"Brother Xiao, who are you trying to eliminate? Are you that bad? Can't I find the little girl?"
"Stay away from her, she has a bad reputation." Wang Xiao really regarded Xiao Du as a friend and said it bluntly.
"Don't worry, Brother Xiao. By the way, speaking of this, I have one more thing to ask of you. Do me a small favor when you go to work tonight."
"What are you busy with?"
"·······"
Haha, Qin Huairu, if you want to stick to me, it’s not easy!
It was cloudy in the afternoon, but it didn't rain anymore. Du Weiguo went home and took a nap for a while. There was thunder and lightning last night, and he got up very early in the morning, feeling a little sleepy.
Dinner was the lunch left by the restaurant. Little Du Lian took it out directly from the space. The buns were still hot, so he took a few pickles and took a simple bite. As for the young master, he can make his own meal today.
I am not a nanny, I cook for him every day.
In this era, for single men, in addition to being alone at night, it is really troublesome to cook alone.
Especially in summer, there is no fresh-keeping and refrigeration equipment. The steamed buns and cooked meals in the morning will go rancid in the evening and cannot be stored at all. The steamed buns are okay and can be stored for a few days.
What's our Comrade Xiao Du's worth, income, and noodles? It has to be steamed buns with Erhe noodles, steamed buns are really not that good.
Today's uniform was dirty from work and was covered in mud spots, like a Dalmatian. It was a rainy day, so Xiao Du didn't wash it either.
When I dug out Lao Du's old uniforms, I found four sets, two of which were brand new.
Comrade Lao Du's clothes were one size smaller than Xiao Du's, which actually fit him better. He changed into leather shoes and put on his watch. Xiao Du went to the steel rolling mill to work the night shift in high spirits. The security department had rain gear, so he didn't need to bring his own.
Comrade Xiao Du is actually a little excited to face Bai Lianhua in a moment. After all, she is the heroine of this world. Finally, she will face her solo in 1VS1. I am looking forward to it, hahaha.
At 5:40, Xiao Du arrived at the steel rolling mill. He first went to the equipment department and received weapons, rain gear, flashlights, and whistles.
Then he returned to the south gate duty room. By now Wang Xiao had finished handing over to Section Chief Hao.
Chief Hao said with a smile: "Oh, Xiao Du, in a few days, I won't have to take care of the day shift and night shift. I finally got through it."
"Section Chief, this is not a correct work attitude. As a veteran comrade, you should set an example and lead for us?" Comrade Xiao Du was embarrassed.
"What the hell, you are only in your 20s. I am over 50 and have been working for more than 30 years. Can I compare with you in terms of energy?"
"You are not an old man who has great ambitions."
"Get out of here, I just want to go home and lie down. It's a thousand miles away. I don't even want to go a mile away."
Hahahaha, the comrades around me are all laughing. It’s rare to see Section Chief Hao joking.
Although he looks gentle and speaks softly, he has always been serious about words.
By now, the workers had almost left. Comrade Xiao Du was sitting in the duty room, and Wang Xiao was sitting next to him. At this time, Qin Huairu came over.
Comrade Xiao Du waved to her, gesturing for her to come in and talk. At this moment, the sky started to raindrops again.
Although it is not big, it is not easy to stand in the rain and talk. As for the people under the porch, they are also colleagues from the security department, which is even more inappropriate.
Qin Huairu had no choice but to walk into the duty room. Comrade Xiao Du said politely: "Sister Qin, please sit down and tell me if you have anything to do."
Qin Huairu glanced at Wang Xiao imperceptibly, and Comrade Xiao Du immediately introduced: "This is my senior, he is half a master, and Wang Xiao is the manager."
Wang Xiao also said politely: "Hello, Comrade Qin Huairu, my name is Wang Xiao."
"Hello, Director Wang."
Comrade Xiao Du took over the conversation: "Sister Qin, didn't you tell me about repairing the house? Just tell me, I have to go back to work in a while."
Qin Huairu complained in her heart, why is this Wang Xiao so ignorant? He is not sensible at all and just sits there in a daze. Wouldn't it be better to go out and have a cigarette?
But she couldn't help it. Why should they make room for her? How could she be counted as a six-cake?
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and make it up:
"Well, I see that the masters who work for you to repair your house are all top-notch craftsmen. The roof of my house often leaks, and it became a water curtain hole last night. I just want to discuss with you, can we discuss it with you?
Let the masters help me repair the roof of my house."
"Sister Qin, that's no problem. You can just discuss it with the masters when you go back. I'm not in a hurry anyway. It's okay to take one day to help you. You can just discuss the wages among yourselves."
"Ah, ah, okay, I'll go back and discuss it with the masters."
Wang Xiao interrupted at this time: "Wei Guo, it's Yin Laoliu and his group who are helping you, right?"
Du Weiguo: "Yes, Yin Laoliu, Cui Carpenter and the others."
"Well, they are definitely the best group of masters working around the steel rolling mill. Even the Forty-Nine Cities can count them. Comrade Qin Huairu, they are not cheap."
Du Weiguo added: "Well, yes, Sister Qin, I worked with them, and the day's wages plus food were 7 yuan and 50 cents, and this was the price of a guaranteed job. If it weren't for my father's pension, I would have been
But I really can’t afford it.”
Xiao Du didn't lie at all. He paid 150 yuan for wages and food. The construction period was 20 days, which was really 7.5 yuan a day.
Yin Laoliu and the others are indeed living a good life, but it is not cheap sincerely.
Qin Huairu didn't completely lie. Her house did leak, and she did consider asking Yin Laoliu to help repair the roof. After all, her skills were on display there.
But she had no idea of spending money. She was just thinking about taking advantage. She even thought about not even thinking about tiles and linoleum, and not caring about food.
They paid for the work and materials and repaired her house for free. What a waste!
Du Weiguo and Wang Xiao sang and sang, and she immediately ran out of energy.
"Oh, okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my family first."
"Okay, Sister Qin, do you have anything else to do? If nothing else, I'll go back to work first."
While talking, Comrade Xiao Du also took out the holster of his gun from the drawer. He deliberately didn't put it on his waist today to scare Qin Huairu.
It was already past 6 o'clock, and all the workers had left work. Qin Huairu was shocked when she saw the pistol, even though it was holstered, and her hair stood on end.
She was a woman who came from a rural area and had only attended literacy classes for a few days. She was barely illiterate. Her greatest achievement in life was to be a vampire fool and take refuge with a big man. How the hell had she ever seen such a battle?
"I have nothing else to do. I'm leaving first. You're busy, Xiao Du."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away despite the rain. He obviously had a raincoat in his hand and had forgotten to put it on.
