Chapter 7: Giving Gifts to Repair the House

Chapter 7 Giving Gifts to Repair a House

After coming out of the hotel, Comrade Xiao Du smoked a cigarette happily.

A cigarette after a meal is better than a living god.

I rode a 28-meter bar to the post office in Dongzhimen, but I didn’t have much business to do, and I didn’t buy any rare stamps that would maintain or increase value. I didn’t know anything about this.

The main thing is to send letters, eat and drink casually, and not to send letters at home, so it can be considered as cautious as possible.

The letters were report letters, and there were three in total. One was sent to the sub-district office of Maomao Hutong, one to the Security Office of the Steel Rolling Mill, and one to the Human Resources Department of the Red Star Rolling Mill.

They were all written by Du Weiguo during his spare time from treasure hunting this morning.

I deliberately changed the font and wrote it stroke by stroke.

Although the words are ugly, the content is interesting.

It was reported that Yi Zhonghai, a grade 8 fitter in the processing workshop 2 of the steel rolling mill, used his power to coerce apprentice Qin Huairu, and also coerced Qin Huairu to do evil things many times in the name of relief. Of course, he must be anonymous.

If it's just one letter, it can often be suppressed, but if it's made in triplicate, with different departments responsible for it, Yi Zhonghai would have to be stripped of his skin if he wanted to suppress it.

As long as one department launches an investigation, Yi Zhonghai will be dead. He will immediately die socially and his reputation will be shattered to pieces.

Moreover, Du Weiguo is a slanderer for future generations. If it doesn't work once, then we will continue to do it. We must let the departments with credibility intervene and conduct an open investigation. We must abolish the death-free medal of the old man and beat him to death with a stick.

Otherwise it will be very troublesome in the future.

After sending the letter, Comrade Xiao Du bought two large-scale peonies at the supply and marketing cooperative near the post office.

China needs special cigarette tickets. Comrade Lao Du saved a few of them before, but Comrade Xiao Du can't use them now, so he keeps them for now.

As for the economy brand cigarettes that cost 6 cents a pack, you can't smoke them. They really strangle your throat. They are almost the same as dry cigarettes. Basically, cigarettes in this era do not have filters, and each one is stronger than the other.

When buying cigarettes, Comrade Xiao Du smoked them for 2.4 cents a pack, and the Peony 3.8 cents a pack also required cigarette coupons. This is for giving as a gift. What are you doing as a gift?

I was looking for someone to repair the house. In my memory, before Comrade Du Weiguo joined the army, he had two friends who played well together. They went to elementary school and junior high school together, and they were basically inseparable.

Even when Xiao Du later became a soldier, he still kept in touch with each other. When something happened to Lao Du, the two little brothers were always by Xiao Du's side.

One of them is Yu Huaihai, who graduated from high school and now works in a grain store as a registration clerk and a 24-level administrative cadre. He has a powerful leader of the Materials Bureau at home and has a younger sister who is in high school.

The other one is Xiang Beifang, who also graduated from high school. He still failed to get into college after taking a make-up exam for a year. He is now working in the subdistrict office and has just been promoted to a full-time job this year. He is a level 7 clerk. He only has one mother at home to depend on. Her mother works in the logistics department of the steel rolling mill.

Level 5 Clerk.

Comrade Xiao Du wants to repair his house, who does he need to find?

First of all, in this era, most real estate is publicly owned. For example, the two and a half east wing rooms where Du Weiguo lives now are publicly owned.

Even if three generations have lived there, from my grandfather, to my parents, to Du Weiguo, the property still belongs to the state. If the job is transferred and you leave this area, the property will be taken back and redistributed.

Therefore, if you want to repair a house, you must first say hello to the people at the street office. You will not just repair it if you say it. Of course, it will be fine if you make a small fuss, but Du Weiguo wants to make major repairs, which is basically equivalent to rebuilding.

Du Weiguo came to see Xiang Beifang today. Their section chief's surname is Zou. Let's meet today and give him two cigarettes to talk about the matter. When the house is being repaired, he will treat the section chief to a meal and we will basically live together.

Originally, repairing a house was a matter of compliance with the rules, and just saying hello was enough, but giving a gift specifically to say hello was to show respect, and Xiao Du was going to do major repairs, which was actually a bit overstepped.

Everything else about the old house in the courtyard was easy to say. Even the leaks, cold spots and hot spots, and coal stove heating were all tolerable. But when it came to going to the toilet, Du Weiguo really couldn't bear it.

Public toilets in alleys are cleaned once every half month in summer, once a month in winter, and only once every two months during the Chinese New Year.

To put it bluntly, the quality of the residents in the alleys is really mixed, and they are basically used to urinating everywhere.

Therefore, there is basically no place to stay in the public toilets in alleys. Coupled with the double attack on sight and smell, it is really unbearable for Comrade Xiao Du, a later generation child who has lived in the building for as long as he can remember.

Du Weiguo has been to the public toilet in the alley once since he was reborn and lived in the courtyard. After that, he went to the steel rolling mill to use the toilet every day. It took nearly 20 minutes to go back and forth. He basically didn't drink water at night. The public toilets in the factory were cleaned every day.

, much cleaner.

Therefore, when Du Weiguo repairs his house, he must build a sewer toilet. Xiao Du has already investigated and found that the courtyard has sewers, so this is feasible.

It's a bit of a stretch to repair pipelines, so today Du Weiguo came to the street office specifically to find someone to give gifts to.

As for another problem, there are some scarce materials needed to repair the house, such as cement, quartz stone, borax, lime, putty, paint, water pipes and even hidden locks.

Comrade Xiao Du is going to make a list and give it to Yu Huaihai directly, asking him to calculate how much it will cost. This is something that Fa Xiao's family can take care of directly, so there is no need to be too pretentious. We will see it later.

In the afternoon, after Du Weiguo found Xibei, he met with Section Chief Zou and explained the situation. Section Chief Zou had an impression of Comrade Xiao Du because he had met him once before when he went through the formalities for discharge and transfer.

Xiao Du explained the situation very politely. The house had been almost unoccupied for six years, and it had not been repaired and was about to collapse.

In order to repair the toilet, he did not hesitate to defile himself, saying that he fell into a latrine when he was a child. Although it was winter, it had a shadow since then. Now going to a public toilet feels like torture.

This made Section Chief Zou burst into laughter, and he patted his chest and agreed that there would be no problem with this matter, as long as Xiao Du could handle the pipeline by himself.

Du Weiguo naturally agreed wholeheartedly, and also invited Section Chief Zou to inspect the house before repairing it in a few days, and then go to the Red Star Restaurant for a meal together.

Before leaving, Comrade Xiao Du naturally forgot the two peonies in Section Chief Zou's office. Well, they were very silky.

For such a small matter, the section chief received a heavy gift and agreed to have dinner together. Xiao Du is a good follower and is a cadre himself. This shows that section chief Zou regards Du Weiguo as one of his own. This is considered as accepting you.

The favor can be extended in the future.

Therefore, Jianghu is not about fighting and killing; Jianghu is always about human relations.

After coming out of the subdistrict office, Xiang Bei followed him out. The two of them lit a cigarette at the door, "Master Du, what's going on? Are you cleaning up the house and getting a wife?"

"Get out of here, where did you find your wife? I only came back after serving in the army for 6 years. Many of my former female classmates have become mothers."

"Hahaha, Yu Huaihai's sister Yu Moli is pretty good, but that girl is thorny and not easy to mess with."

"You're a little yellow-haired girl, what do you think?"

"What a yellow-haired girl, you haven't seen her in the past six years. She is 19 years old this year, and she will be in her third year of high school soon. She has changed into her eighteenth grade. Now Jasmine has grown, and she is the school beauty of the Eighteenth Middle School."

"Well then, why don't you pursue it?"

"Chasing shit, this girl has such high standards that she can't even look down on college students, so I have no chance."

"Okay, don't talk about these stupid things. Let's get together this weekend. I'll go to Yu Huaihai in the evening. I'll repair the house right away and I'll live with him for a while."

"Okay, then I'll meet at your house on the weekend."

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

Turning over and riding on the big shoulder, Comrade Xiao Du walked towards the courtyard in a relaxed and happy manner.
