At dawn, every household in the courtyard became busy, people started to get up for work, and more and more people passed by the front yard.
Today is the 28th day of the lunar calendar, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Therefore, the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill will officially have a holiday tomorrow. People who work at the main factory in the courtyard still have to go.
Through the window, Lu Weidong saw many characters passing by in the original novel.
Eighth-level fitter Yi Zhonghai, seventh-level blacksmith Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao, Widow Qin, Xu Damao.
After it got dark, I finally saw Shazhu’s figure.
With curiosity in his heart, Lu Weidong carefully looked at He Yuzhu who was passing by.
Wearing a light green cotton-padded jacket and a gray scarf around his neck, he clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at everything.
He walked with his feet high and swaggered, giving him a arrogant air.
This is Shazhu, He Yuzhu!
Lu Weidong suddenly felt bored, and his sympathy for Sha Zhu's tragic fate in the future was a little less.
As the saying goes, if you sow melons, you will reap beans, and a pitiful person must have something to hate.
He Yuzhu looks too arrogant and domineering right now.
Everyone joked that Shazhu was the god of war in the courtyard, but Lu Weidong felt that it was more appropriate that Shazhu was the harm to the courtyard.
For breakfast, Lu Weidong still made a pot of noodle soup, with green cabbage leaves and noodles, plus red peppers, red, white and green, which tasted twice as good.
"Burp! White noodles are so delicious! How delicious it is to eat them every day!" Lu Xiuxiu burped and couldn't help but sigh.
Based on this girl's demeanor, perhaps white noodles are one of the most delicious things in the world.
"Yes! Yes! It's delicious!" Xiao Huihui next to her kept grabbing the rice and yelled.
The child's mouth was full of soup, and his collar was wet with the soup.
When Lu Weidong saw it, he felt it was necessary to make a scarf for the little guy to eat.
After breakfast, Lu Weidong told his third sister to take good care of Xiao Huihui, while he and his second son went to collect food and randomly picked up a cart of carbon along the way.
The grain station opened at nine o'clock. When the two brothers arrived, it was only after eight o'clock, and the queue was already 300 meters away.
Lu Weidong didn't have the patience to wait. He handed the grain book to Lao Er and went to the coal station.
Lu Weidong asked for three hundred kilograms of carbon and asked a mule cart in front of the station to pull it outside the courtyard gate and unload it.
Coal carbon is sold in bulk and rolled on the floor at the gate.
Lu Weidong had no choice but to find a sack of his own, picked it up piece by piece, put it into the sack and carried it to a wooden shed between the east wing and the wall of the central courtyard.
This place is where the old Lu family accumulated debris, and it has been there for some years.
Lu Xiuxiu also came over to help pick up the charcoal. As for Xiao Huihui, she was a complete troublemaker. One moment she was holding a piece of charcoal and following Lu Weidong on her short legs to the penthouse. The next moment she was yelling about pulling out the charcoal, making her face black. She was full of fun.
.
"Weidong! After moving the carbon, the door must be cleaned! Don't leave it all dark. This is related to the honor of our hospital." Soon, Yan Bugui walked out of the house, eyes wide and serious.
Tao.
"Understood! Third uncle, don't worry! I won't hold you back." Lu Weidong immediately confirmed.
At present, the front yard and the main entrance are basically cleaned by Yan Bugui. Naturally, Lu Weidong cannot underestimate the fruits of other people's labor.
"Yeah! It's good for you kid to understand!" Yan Bugui nodded slightly, then turned and returned to the house.
When Lu Weidong passed by, he found Yan Bugui already sitting in the front yard basking in the sun with an old radio in his arms.
The volume of this radio is almost inaudible.
Maybe only Yan Bugui can hear it!
This is very old!
At three o'clock in the morning, three hundred kilograms of carbon were loaded into the wooden shed. Lu Weidong boiled a pot of water and asked Sanmei to take Xiao Huihui to wash her face and hands. He began to clean up the traces of coal at the gate, poured several basins of water, and finally tidied up the outside.
Clean.
"Brother! My little sister wants to take a shower!" Lu Xiuxiu went to Lu Weidong to complain.
Lu Weidong had been busy for a long time, he was sweating profusely, and his body felt sticky. He immediately made a decision, "Okay! Let's go to the bathhouse."
"Really?" Lu Xiuxiu was stunned, surprised and happy.
"Of course! Go and prepare. When your second brother comes back, we will go."
"Brother! What are you preparing for?"
"A change of clothes or something! After taking a shower, put on some clothes."......
By chance, the second child came back with a grain bag, and Lu Weidong invited the three children to go to the bathhouse.
Yan Bugui, who was basking in the sun, opened his eyes wide when he heard this. He muttered to the third aunt next to him: "This Wei Dong is just like him, he spends money lavishly and doesn't know how to live!"
The third aunt was doing needlework. She rubbed her forehead and frowned: "Weidong will definitely buy new clothes for his brothers and sisters during the Chinese New Year. How much does it cost to take a bath?"
"Oops! I almost forgot! Old lady, didn't you make an extra dress? Those four girls from Jie Di are better, why not give this dress to their family." Yan Bugui suddenly became afraid of his thighs and thought of another one.
On things.
"That's right! Old man, your mind works very fast." The third aunt was so happy that she immediately put down her sewing and prepared to go back to the room to get clothes.
"Don't worry! I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! Look at my eyes!" Yan Bugui immediately waved his hand, stood up from the stool, and walked towards the east wing of the Lu family with the radio in his arms.
Inside the house, Lu Weidong was rummaging through the clothes of his third sister, Lu Xiuxiu.
In this day and age, cloth is very precious.
In every household, younger brothers and sisters basically wear clothes worn by older brothers and sisters. A piece of clothing can be passed down to three generations.
As Lu Xiuxiu's eldest daughter, there are actually no clothes that fit her in the cabinet.
This discovery made Lu Weidong feel helpless.
Suddenly seeing Yan Bugui enter the house, Lu Weidong gave up the search and said to his third sister Lu Xiuxiu: "Let's put it on for now. In the afternoon, I will buy you a new dress." Then, Lu Weidong went out of the west room and greeted Yan.
Bu Gui asked, "Third uncle, is there something wrong?"
Yan Bugui smiled slightly and said to Lu Weidong: "Xiu Xiu is short of clothes? Just in time, my old lady has a piece of clothing under the wardrobe. I think it suits Xiu Xiu very well."
Hey!
This old ghost Yan really knows how to find opportunities!
Lu Weidong rubbed his mouth and said with a smile: "Really?"
"Hey! Wei Dong, when did the third uncle lie to you? If you don't like it, it means the third uncle didn't mention it." Yan Bugui said seriously.
Lu Weidong nodded, "Okay!"
Yan Bugui was waiting for Lu Weidong's words. After hearing this, he immediately turned around and walked out of the room to greet his wife back to the room.
After a while, Yan Bugui and the third aunt came to the Lu family one after another carrying clothes.
"How are you? These clothes are so nice! There are also cotton-padded jackets suitable for Hui Hui." Yan Bugui and the third aunt showed off the clothes in their hands, with looks of anticipation on their faces.
Lu Weidong touched the clothes casually and judged that the coat was thin and the style was a bit unfashionable.
The little cotton-padded jacket is ugly in style, but it is very thick on the inside and colorful and inconsistent on the outside. At first glance, you can tell that it has been re-sewn.
Lu Weidong took the coat, compared it with his third sister, Lu Xiuxiu, and asked, "Third sister, do you like this dress?"
Lu Xiuxiu fumbled for a few times and said hesitantly: "It's okay!"
Lu Weidong nodded, turned around and said to Yan Bugui: "Third uncle, these clothes are too thin! How much do you want?"
"Weidong! Your third aunt took this from the cotton mill before liberation. It has never been worn. We are not outsiders. For the sake of the same yard, the third uncle will accept this amount from you." Yan Bugui held out two fingers.
Righteous way.
"Okay! Twenty is twenty! However, this little cotton-padded jacket must be included." Lu Weidong pointed at the little cotton-padded jacket in the hands of the third aunt and said with a smile.
"What? Wei Dong, you are too... too greedy!" Yan Bugui's eyes widened and his face turned dark instantly.
Lu Weidong smiled slightly and explained: "I have pockets and cloth tickets! How about buying a new one for the New Year? If you two don't want to, just leave it to Jie Di to wear!"
"Huh! Let's go!" Yan Bugui clasped his hands behind his back and was about to leave angrily.
The third aunt on the side hurriedly grabbed Yan Bugui. She smiled and said to Lu Weidong: "Weidong! You are right! However, it took me a long time to make this little cotton-padded jacket. If you add more money, if
If it suits you, I’ll give you both.”
"You can add five yuan, but the money will be given to you in three months." Lu Weidong smiled.
After hearing this, the third aunt suddenly became excited.
She pulled the third uncle aside and muttered for a while, and then Yan Bugui's complexion slowly improved.
"Boy! You must write an IOU!" Yan Bugui came to Lu Weidong and said seriously.
Lu Weidong nodded. He immediately wrote an IOU, fingerprinted it, and handed it to Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui read it carefully and nodded slowly, "Very good! You must pay it back after three months. Otherwise, you will be charged interest."
"Ha! The third uncle has a good reputation! I understand!" Lu Weidong smiled slightly and sent the couple out.
