Daily life in the courtyard

Chapter 32 Omen
In fact, since 58, there have been signs of disaster.

It's just that the big guys are still immersed in the great strides led by the People's Commune, and the blazing busyness covers up the problems in the shadows.

Just after the Chinese New Year, the entire Forty-Nine City called for the eradication of the four pests. Except for grain stations and supply and marketing cooperatives, it was not easy to catch mice in other places, so most of them were trying their best to sparrows.

The ecological balance is so destroyed.

This is still just a capital city, and there are not too many similar situations across the country.

Droughts frequently increase grain production, and the omens are quite obvious.

Wei Pingan flipped through the newspaper, and felt a bit of expansion and exaggeration from the joyful atmosphere of the content.

"This food, if you can save it, save more. According to these reports, it is not a good year for drought in the north and flood in the south."

During lunch, Wei Pingan told the three apprentices a few words.

Zhang Baoqiang and Anyang were laughing and joking, but Ding Lijun was very concerned.

His family is under the greatest pressure and is more sensitive in this regard.

After get off work in the afternoon, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li walking back from the inverted room.

The date when I want to move away from Lao Yan's house to live an independent life is not far away.

All the families in the courtyard were busy, cooking, training the children, and complaining to the parents. Only Wei Pingan pushed the cart back to his courtyard.

In the courtyard, Master Yang led several people to work. The small second floor has been sealed. Yesterday, a large piece of tempered glass was installed, and it was installed in the afternoon. At the moment, several women are wiping it with buckets and linen cloth.

Wei Pingan provided lunch twice, and it was replaced by Master Yang's lover.

Master Yang is a carpenter, and his son took over the job. He retired at home and worked with Lei Laowu's decoration team to earn extra money.

He is an honest man, and his workmanship is also good. The window frames, furniture, sofa and stairs in the house are all done by him.

Wei Pingan was exhausted running back at noon every day, so he simply provided ingredients, and gave 5 yuan to Master Yang's wife, and "contracted" this matter.

All are happy.

"Masters, rest and rest."

He took out Double Happiness cigarettes and smoked them around.

Wei Pingan, the host, is not stingy, and he provides a lot of Erhe noodles, and he can see meaty meat every day.

This is something I have never encountered in my past work.

Not only that, but you can also get cigarettes every now and then.

This is happiness.

People are honest these days, if you treat me well, I will repay you twice.

Therefore, on the block on the second floor, the yard was also tidied up by these people.

Some of the wooden pillars and blue bricks that were dismantled and stacked under the window sills were placed on the east wall, and the side room and the new house were directly made into a small shed.

For the rest, a square was put together at the door, like a hall, like a gazebo, and a slope was built with cement to make it easier for Wei Pingan to push his cart in and out.

In the yard, there is a road paved with bluestone strips, which is wide enough for one person. It is not afraid of rain and mud. The remaining area is used as a ground edge, which is convenient for planting flowers and plants in the future.

Although his body was dirty because of the work, Wei Ping'an was really amazed by the work he did.

They are the treasures of the country and the wealth of the entire nation.

But then, everyone had a hard time.

Everyone was smoking, chatting, and when the cigarettes were finished, they would tidy up the yard, pick up the garbage in the yard, and take it away.

This has been the norm for the past twenty days.

Outside, the smell of cooking at Shazhu's house was tangy, and he could faintly hear him humming a little song, so he seemed to be in a good mood.

When Wei Ping sent Master Yang away, he saw Matchmaker Wang enter Sha Zhu's house.

Silly blind date?

Wei Pingan smiled.

He didn't interfere too much with the people and things in the courtyard, especially the people who were the protagonists.

Therefore, there is a high probability that Silly Zhu is busy for nothing.

Wei Ping'an was not in a good mood tonight. After eating, he sat at the desk with his eyes closed.

In fact, he entered the system space to take stock of his earnings and the balance of unlock points.

He doesn't worry about his own life. After all, there are white noodles provided by the system, as well as fruits, vegetables, eggs and meat that he has been buying every now and then.

But these cannot be provided to others.

In his last life, Wei Ping'an had tasted the principle of Dou Mi's kindness and Mi's hatred.

Well, a whole lot of cornmeal is needed.

This is the only thing that can be borrowed without being obtrusive, and it is also the only material that can be handed out.

Originally, I was able to eat enough for one person and the whole family was not hungry, but now that I have an apprentice by my side and a bond, I need more planning and planning.

No way.

It's just that Wei Ping'an has no relatives, and no one around him has such great energy. When he thinks about it, he can only think of Lei Lao Wu.

As an important contractor, there should be channels for this... right?

The next day, Wei Pingan made a special trip back at noon.

When I left in the morning, I talked to Master Yang, thinking about discussing something with Old Lei at noon.

"What's wrong, Brother Wei, where do I need to modify it?"

"No, it's such a thing..."

Wei Pingan said bluntly that he wanted to buy some food to stockpile in case of emergency.

Lei Laowu frowned and thought for a long time.

"It's okay to order at 01:30, but if you want... this in large quantities, I'm afraid you will be targeted. I know someone who dumps grain in the pigeon market. I'll ask you later."

"Okay, then trouble old Lei Ge."

"They're all my brothers, you're welcome. Why did you suddenly think of buying food?"

"Looking at the newspapers in the past few days, nine of the top ten production regions in our country are suffering from drought and flood disasters. Besides, I heard that they are all distributed by the commune. If we eat a big pot of rice, the food consumption is not light..."

Wei Pingan clicked to stop.

Lei Laowu thought about it for a while, then woke up suddenly.

"Hey, then I have to buy some along the way."

"Brothers... Go to my place tonight after work, don't rush home first, remember."

When I went out, I heard a few old women gathered under the tree in the front yard chatting.

"It's just silly Zhu's virtue, and he still despises the girl's shoehorn face..."

"This matchmaker Wang has been offended by Sha Zhu to the death. In the future, if she finds a suitable home for the girl, she will probably have to go around him."

"Hey, there is no old man to help, silly Zhu's road is not going well."

"The dishes on that table are in vain. I can smell the fragrance from far away."

"No matter how bad he is, he's still a cook."

"What kind of cook? It's just a help cook in the canteen of the factory, so stupid..."

Wei Pingan pursed his lips and smiled.

As expected of a silly pillar, he really couldn't make it to the table.

Lei Lao Wu's actions are very efficient.

The next afternoon, he ran over to tell Wei Pingan that he had found his family.

It's just that the conditions are more stringent.

Because there are no food stamps, the price is relatively expensive, and it is not possible to meet and trade.

In other words, find a hidden place to put the goods, and then change the place for money transactions, and then give the address to Wei Pingan to pick it up by himself.

When the time comes, how to transport it home is up to you.

"Okay. Old Lei, let's go together."

Obviously, this cannot be done by one person, and several people are needed to cooperate.

"Okay, that's it."

It will take time for the other party to collect this amount of food, so after half a month, the transaction was made in a remote place outside Dongzhimen.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Wei Ping'an has done what he can, and only hopes that the next half month will pass peacefully.
